Overgeared Chapter 634:
Users ate food in Satisfy to fill their satiety and recover . Food was an essential energy source .
But the dishes made by Idan were often poisonous .
[You have eaten bad food . ]
[You have received food poisoning . ]
[You have resisted . ]
[You have consumed something that shouldn’t be eaten . ]
[You have been poison (large) . ]
[You have resisted . ]
“ . . . ”
“How about it? Isn’t it delicious?”
The road to Kars, capital of the Cho Kingdom .
Grid travelled with Idan and Yang Fei, suffering terrible pain every time he ate food . He was being tortured by a torture expert .
‘I want you to make food that people can at least eat, even if it isn’t delicious . . . Nine out of ten dishes are just food waste . ’
It wasn’t possible to supply the current food made by Idan to the Overgeared members and soldiers . If all of them received food poisoning, it would be an unprecedented situation where the government was paralyzed .
‘I have to constantly eat in order to improve Idan’s cooking skills . ’
Grid was determined to sacrifice himself .
Throughout the journey, he had Idan constantly make him food . It wasn’t something that could be done with ordinary mental power .
Grid was placing himself in the abyss of **** for the sake of Overgeared .
“Grid, have some tea . ”
Grid wanted to vomit while suffering from food poisoning .
Yang Fei made a sad expression and approached with tea .
“T-Thank you . . . ”
[You have drunk Berenas tea . ]
[Your mind and body have become calm . Health recovery rate has increased by 10% for 1 minute . ]
His rotten taste buds were healed thanks to Yang Fei .
Intelligent and versatile, Yang Fei was also a tea master . The grass, flowers, leaves and twigs she gathered along the way were made into tea that showed amazing effects .
"Where did you learn this technique?”
"It is a skill I learnt from working in Idan’s restaurant for several years . Sometimes the customers suffer from food poisoning and fall into a crisis . . . ”
“ . . . ”
It was indeed an absurd answer .
However, Grid was pleased that learn that Yang Fei was kind-hearted .
‘She is good at spotting talent but this child also knows that people’s lives are precious . ’
But it was a misunderstanding .
This impression didn’t last long .
"It was only a matter of time until a customer was killed by Idan . If the restaurant closes, won’t I lose my job? There are many unpaid salaries . ”
“ . . . I see . ”
The more he looked, the better Yang Fei’s compatibility with Rabbit seemed .
'If I hand Yang Fei to Rabbit, she will support him properly and his work efficiency will increase . ’
First and foremost, he couldn’t give Yang Fei to Lord .
‘That great guy will make any girl his lover, irrespective of appearance or age . ’
Of course, the young Lord still didn’t know about it . He thought lover was the same as friend . The problem was that women didn’t accept it .
‘The maidens dream about someday becoming a prince . . . Wait?'
Grid suddenly imagined something when he thought about Lord .
‘If the 12 year old Lord is taken to the empire as a hostage . . . ’
Wouldn’t all the women in the empire become his lover?
'My Lord is wonderful!’
Hedgehogs also said that their young were beautiful .
It was natural for Grid to praise Lord, who was the best genius of the continent .
Grid’s confidence in Lord was greater than a mountain .
‘In the empire, there is a lot of room for Lord to play . . . No, Lord can’t be taken hostage . ’
Clang .
Grid caressed the necklace he received from Lord .
‘For Lord’s sake, I need the power to resist the empire . i can’t let Lord have any painful experiences . ’
He could bear eating Idan’s dishes if he thought of this .
Grid braced himself as Idan cooked food using the meat of a newly hunted monster .

"It isn’t as easy as I thought . ”
Mute operated a small to medium-sized business with a monthly trading volume of nearly 10,000 gold .
He was currently the third ranked merchant and pioneering the East Continent .
He had a dream to explore the East Continent and increase his customers .
However, the East Continent was too difficult compared to the West Continent . Trading with most NPCs wasn’t easy, regardless of their status . In addition, the level of the monsters in the field was so high that it wasn’t easy to navigate between towns and villages .
‘The reputation I built on the West Continent isn’t applied here so I feel like a complete rookie . ’
If he increased his number of customers on the East Continent, he would gain many special products and become more competitive .
Once his trading volume and profits increased considerably, he would rise to the top of the merchant rankings .
Muto dreamt of a brilliant future but he now became nervous . He didn’t have any customers for 10 days already so his enthusiasm started to decline .
‘If the people of the East Continent believe that I can move freely between the East and West Continents, I will be able to easily expand my business . ’
The East Continent people didn’t believe in intercontinental movement . It was believed that Muto was pulled to the east from the west due to an accident .
"Ugh, how frustrating . ”
In the past, Muto was someone who mainly focused on exchanges Earl Butin of the Saharan Empire . Earl Butin’s territory was considered a resort for nobles and Muto often sold valuables there .
But one day, his relationship with Earl Butin was ruined . It was when the sands of Reidan started to be sold as a longevity remedy .
As the ridiculous formula of ‘Earl Butin=luxury longevity remedy’ started to be established, the interest of the nobles in Muto’s valuables decreased . After that, Muto became insignificant .
Muto needed the East Continent to recover . If he didn’t increase the account here, he could no longer be able to cope with his company’s trading volume decreasing .
‘Looking at the trends these days, I might end up falling to the 7th rank . ’
If he lost his rank, he was likely to lose sponsors . His pride as a merchant was smashed .
‘Once I arrive in Kars, I must see the Cho King . If I show the king the culture of the West Continent . . . Eh?’
Muto moved across the East Continent with the mercenaries he employed, only to stop in place .
A spectacular sight was unfolding in the mountain valley in the distance .
"This is the secret technique that has been passed down in my family for generations! Filleting! My skills have been trained in order to prepare today’s lunch!”
"N-No, this isn’t a carp but a mermaid . . . ”
"It is still half fish . What is wrong?”
“ . . . ?”
It was a rare sight .
The level 300 mermaid monster in the valley trembled as a kitchen knife held by a middle-aged man neared them .
The most impressive thing was the black-haired man trying to hold the middle-aged man back from from the mermaid .
‘Grid . . . ?’
The first legendary class and first king .
The most famous man in the world who achieved countless feats .
‘Why is he here?’
Was this a coincidence?
A smile appeared on the face of the bewildered Muto .
‘This might be a fated relationship . ’
In fact, Muto was a person who hated Grid .
It was because Grid was the one who started to sell the remedy from Reidan .
Strictly speaking, Muto’s fall was due to Grid . It was natural to feel resentment .
But at this moment, Muto’s feelings for Grid were washed away .
It was because he thought that he was bound to Grid by strings of fate .
"I was going to rest in that valley but a guest has arrived there first . ”
"Do you mind?”
A mercenary asked .
Muto shook his head .
“All your heads will be cut off if you ask him to leave . ”
“ . . . ?”
The mercenaries frowned .
They were the strongest warriors of Zentu . Muto hired them because he acknowledged this fact .
Yet that black-haired man would kill all of them?
“I can’t accept it . ”
Zentu .
It was a village near the queen rat community that had been destroyed by someone a few months ago .
In order to survive the rats, the inhabitants of Zentu endlessly trained and gained the title of warrior . They had great pride in their skills .
"Shall we see if he is really stronger than us?”
The mercenaries were unable to hide their uncomfortable feelings .
"Oh, don’t eat mermaids . It is like human flesh . ”
Peeng!
Pepepepeok!
“ . . . ?”
An explosion took place in the valley .
It was a phenomenon that occurred when the black-haired man used swordsmanship and magic .
“T-This is impossible . ”
The mercenaries were at a loss for words .
They could barely repel the mermaids of Jam Valley one-on-one . The mermaids were strong enough to be compared to the poisonous rats .
But the black-haired man took out dozens of mermaids in the blink of an eye . The dimension was different .
"How about it? Isn’t he on a different class? I heard that the warriors of Zentu admire strong people . Isn’t he strong?”
"Gulp . "
The mercenaries didn’t respond to Muto . They could only gulp . They got goosebumps .
‘If we had come across him unaware . . . ’
‘By now we would be like the mermaids . ’
They got goosebumps just imagining it .
‘Huh?’
All of the mercenaries shook their head .
Suddenly, the black-haired man took out a needle and thread and started sewing .
“W-What?”
The mercenaries were surprised .
Muto was more surprised than them .
‘Sewing cloth? How can Grid, a blacksmith, deal with cloth?’
He really wasn’t just a celebrity .
They kept meeting by chance and Grid was a constant source of interest .
Muto was convinced .
‘This is my chance . ’
Today’s accidental encounter would be the opportunity of a lifetime .
“Okay . . . Let's go . First of all, let’s greet him . ”
Muto took a deep breath to get rid of his tension and excitement before walking up to Grid with his mercenaries .
He could smell food waste as he neared but he didn’t care .
