Overgeared Chapter 524:
Chapter 524
Players no longer discussed the Seven Guilds .
One force was stronger than the Seven Guilds combined . From that time on, the Seven Guilds lost their majesty . Far from getting the title of the strongest, the Seven Guilds gradually declined . They were more inundated with requests to leave than to join .
“We will remove ourselves from the alliance . ”
The French representative, Bondre .
Until he met Grid in the National Competition, he was the 1st ranked ice mystic with the nickname of ‘undefeated . ’ He was also the master of the strongest magician group, Ice Flower . Now he expressed his intention to withdraw from the alliance .
The leaders of the guilds in the Seven Guilds didn’t stop him . However, Bondre’s declaration of withdrawal became an ignition point . The other guild masters also declared their intentions to leave the alliance . It wasn’t necessary to obsess over the alliance that had become obsolete .
Zibal, the leader of the alliance, was the same .
“I won’t stop them . ”
Zibal had changed since the 2nd National Competition . In raids and hunting, he didn’t doubt that he was the best . However, he changed his perception after being beaten by Grid . He wasn’t the best . He wasn’t qualified to be self-confident and to force others .
Zibal was no longer obsessed with the Seven Guilds . He chose to grow in order to regain his past glory . Now he was about to step foot in the Behen Archipelago . After confirming that the guilds had withdrawn from the alliance, he laughed and entered the Behen Archipelago .

“What will happen to us now?”
The Ice Flower Guild was somewhat uneasy . Ice Flower . They were an elite group of magicians and there were only 30 of them . It was obvious that many uncomfortable things would happen if they left the alliance . They had complicated relationships with some people due to disputes, and the guild had no production players, so item trading was disadvantageous for them .
Bondre reassured the worried guild members .
"We will go to the **** of war . This will make our lives much better than before and we will be guaranteed a brilliant future . ”
“God of war?”
"Who is it?”
Bondre explained to the bewildered guild members . "Ares . An unofficial ranker with a unique ability . He’s equivalent to Grid . ”
“Wow . . . ”
How strong was he that their master Bondre would compare him to Grid? The Ice Flower Guild members were incredulous .
“Then why is he unknown?”
“Yes . This is the first time I’ve heard of him . ”
“Satisfy is wide . Do you know all the people in every field in the world in reality? It’s unknown how many of them there actually are . In that sense, Satisfy is like reality . ”
In fact, Bondre also had no idea who Ares was not long ago . However, Scott contacted him three days ago and told him about Ares . Bondre had been shocked the moment he saw the information .
"The world is wide and there’s a lot of chaos . ”
Bondre heard a strange voice as he thought about joining Ares’ guild .
"Yes, the world is wide . But you’re all under my feet . ”
“Who?”
The Ice Flower Guild instantly became alert . They were embarrassed by the dozens of skeletons blocking the way back to their territory . The voice of the unfamiliar man was heard again as they perceived the danger and started to cast spells .
"Bondre, become a sacrifice of the king . ”
Chill .
Bondre and the Ice Flower Guild members got chills at the same time . The madness in the voice of the unidentified man made them feel an instinctive fear .
‘Entering a fear state just from speaking?’
Boss monster?
‘A boss appeared on the road where thousands of people travelled every day?
It was ridiculous .
“Reveal yourself!”
Bondre finished casting the level 8 Ice Cutter and fired the magic . It was a strike aimed directly at the location of the voice .
Jeeeong!
The sharp ice blade flying through the air stopped . Then it shattered . It was due to the curtain of darkness that was instantly created .
‘My magic was so easily blocked?’
Swaaah .
In the wreckage of the sparkling ice crystals .
“Agnus?”
Chwaaaak!
Bondre was shocked as he saw the man who appeared from the dark curtain .
Agnus . After the top ranked players like Kraugel, Zibal, and Yura disappeared from the rankings, he had risen to 3rd place . In addition, he was the rumored psychopath that even Kraugel avoided .
“Kikikik!”
His eyes shone gold as he looked at Bondre like a frightened rat .

"The hunting grounds are far from the city . I should prepare a return scroll next time I go . ”
Originally, Grid planned to return to Pangea when it was time for the smithy competition . But his plans changed the moment he found Idan’s Frying Pan and he returned to Pangea . It was imperative to raise affinity with Idan . The reason was the information of the frying pan .
[Idan’s Frying Pan]
Rating: Unique
Durability: 35/260 Attack Power: 89
* When used, Intermediate Cooking Lv . 2 will be created .
The moment it is used, the person will become a seasoned chef!
It is the frying pan that has been used for centuries by the Idan family, who has a philosophy of cooking .
It is optimized to draw out a unique taste from the ingredients .
In addition, special events sometimes occur because the frying pan contains the desires of the elders of cooking .
When an Idan family member cooks with this frying pan, there is a high probably that food with a buffing ability will be created and a low probability that food that increases stats will be created .
However, the premise is that you eat all the food without leaving anything behind .
Conditions of use: Beginner cooking master . A special effect will occur only when an Idan family member uses it .
Weight: 40
'I don’t know about the taste, but this is why Kraugel ate it four times . ’
Idan . He was a golden goose who would give birth to elixirs . The chef might make bad food, but his value was astronomical . A one in a million talented person .
Grid decided . He would leave here with Idan as his personal chef!
“Idan!”
Pangea’s North Street . Grid ran to Idan’s restaurant and immediately asked the waitress working there .
“Where is Idan?”
“The boss went out to obtain ingredients . ”
“Can’t he get the ingredients delivered?”
"Yes, there’s no contractor who will deliver a rotten liver from a jiangshi . ”
“Jiangshi rotten liver?”
A chill went down Grid’s spine . Idan’s Frying Pan was optimized to draw out the taste of ingredients . What if he cooked a jiangshi rotten liver?
‘ . . . Really a mess . ’
It was crazy . His eyes darkened .
‘This is crazy . . . Why is he cooking rotten liver?’
Even . . .
‘It’s the body of a jiangshi?’
If he took Idan as a full time chef, would he have to eat such ridiculous dishes every time?
‘ . . . No, that’s impossible . ’
Idan couldn’t make strange dishes every time . He had to make some ordinary dishes .
‘I have to eat . If not, I’ll ask him to make it for me . ’
Grid couldn’t believe it and asked the employee again .
“Where is the jiangshi?”
“If you go out the south gate and head north, a cemetery will appear . There’s an infestation there . ”
"Okay, Idan is there?”
The moment Gird verified the information and was about to leave the restaurant .
“Umm? You are?"
Idan returned to the restaurant . There was a basket filled with something black in his hands . Grid ignored the rotten smell and handed the frying pan to Idan .
“Here’s what I promised you . ”
"Hrmm . "
It was the hard to regain family heirloom . Did he not expect it to be found in just two days? Idan looked at the frying pan with a questionable expression before cheering .
“Oh . . . ! Ohh! Ohhhh! Unbelievable! You found my family’s heirloom so quickly!”
Idan was genuinely pleased . The moment he held the frying pan, a notification window appeared in front of Grid .
[The quest Find the Traces of the Great Hero! has been completed . ]
[30% character experience has been paid as compensation . ]
[Affinity with Idan has increased by 10 . ]
“Eh?”
Affinity +10? Affinity only increased by 10 despite returning a family heirloom? Grid thought it was unexpected .
‘Shouldn’t it increase by at least 50?’
Idan guided the confused Grid to a table .
"Have you not eaten yet? Now, sit down . I will treat the person who brought back my family’s heirloom to a wonderful dinner . ”
“Ah, yes . ”
Hopefully, this was a chance to eat food that increased his stats . Grid hesitantly sat down and belatedly said something .
"Please note that I have a liver allergy . ”
In other words, don‘t bring out a dish made with jiangshi liver! Idan’s expression became as cold as ice .
“Y . . . es? Is that so?”
Idan clicked his tongue and headed to the kitchen . His unfriendly demeanor made Grid think the worst .
'Don’t tell me that my affinity just fell?’
It was likely that Idan was a NPC who only liked people who ate his dishes .
‘It is almost certain . ’
It was the reason why returning Idan’s Frying Pan only raised affinity by 10 . On the first day they met, Grid left behind a lot of the orc cream pie and his affinity must’ve fallen .
‘This truly **** . ’
In order to recruit Idan as a full time chef, a high affinity was required . How could he increase his affinity without having to eat the food that Idan made? The moment Grid was feeling frustrated .
“This is my signature dish that I cooked just for you, japchae . ”
" . . . ”
Idan handed a dish of japchae to Grid . Japchae . It was a favorite dish for South Koreans, and clearly Grid as well .
‘Phew, thank goodness . It isn’t hard to make japchae delicious . ’
Vegetables, meat, and japchae noodles . Grid grasped a fair amount with his chopsticks and shoved it into his mouth without hesitation . Then he spat it out as soon as he ate it . The vegetables tasted of soil and were really crunchy . The slightly cooked pork was cold and hard . The noodles were chewy . There wasn’t even any strange ingredients in it . The original tastes of the ingredients were very strong and didn’t mix together .
"No, this . . . ”
He was supposed to eat this? Grid was about to curse reflexively when he stopped . It was because Idan’s eyes were glaring at the japchae that he had spat out .
"Did you spit it out because it didn’t fit your tastes?”
“Nope . It’s delicious . I was so surprised by the delicious taste that I spat it out a little bit . ”
Endure . Grid blocked his nose . Then he shoved all of the japchae in his mouth at once .
Chew chew .
Grid chewed the japchae with a pale face while Idan asked .
"Why are you blocking your nose while eating?”
“It’s my eating habit . ”
"Huh, really? What an unusual eating habit . ”
‘Your dishes are more unusual . . . ’
Grid sweated as he barely endured it .
[The effect of eating Idan’s dish has permanently increased intelligence by 1 . ]
“Ah!”
It was the moment when Grid’s sorrow was larger than his joy .
