Overgeared - Chapter 192

Chapter 192



‘The more I look, the more impressive it is . ’

He had to admit it .

Mumud’s Orb was truly qualified to be called the best . In addition to being able to possess magic, it had a number of functions that were different from ordinary orbs, such as increasing the casting speed of magic and reducing skill cooldown time .

However, the magic damage was somewhat plain . Of course, it was excellent compared to other orbs, but lacking compared to the other features . Why was this?

Grid pondered . Then he realized .

‘Balance . Magic damage was intentionally suppressed to maintain balance . If the basic performance is good along with the additional options, it will inevitably lead to higher usage conditions . ’

It was a great study for Grid .

‘When I create new items in the future, I have to pay attention to the balance . ’

The first item that Grid created, Failure, only specialized in aggression . Indeed, it showed tremendous attack power . If he was to exclude the weapons possessed by Rebecca’s Daughters, he could positively assert that Failure was currently the strongest weapon .

But in return, Failure had ridiculously high usage conditions . It required Advanced Sword Mastery level 8 and more than 5,000 strength . It was estimated that users with more than 5,000 strength wouldn’t appear for at least two years, so Failure was nothing but a special item for Grid until then .

Failure was a failure for a reason .

‘If I designed it to be more versatile like Mumud’s Orb by lowering the attack power…’

The usage conditions would’ve been lowered and it would be more usable .

‘Then by now, I would be sitting in money . ’

It was the moment he learned how to create the best items with the right level of performance . Grid was enlightened and felt a huge sense of accomplishment . He was filled with joy .

‘I can see a way to improve the Mass-produced One-handed Sword . Okay . Then let’s get started . ’

Grid smiled and started to observe the materials needed to make Mumud’s Orb . The abyss mithril, Frost Queen’s Breath and Water Clan King’s Tears were unfamiliar items . He was deeply interested . However…

“Eh?”

Grid’s expression twisted after he checked the details of the items . It was unbelievable that he had been smiling with joy just a moment ago .



[Frost Queen’s Breath]

The extremely low temperature climate of Heraris caused the Frost Queen’s breath to crystallize . This crystal will never melt and has the effect of amplifying magic power .

Weight: 0 . 1



[Abyss Mithril]

Deep in the ocean .

A rare mineral that is only found near the Siren Kingdom .



Its harmony with magic power is three times better than normal mithril .

Weight: 15



[Water Clan King’s Tears]

The Siren King sheds tears every five months, longing for his daughter who left the world before him .

These tears have the mysterious function of imbuing items with magic .

Weight: 0 . 1



Grid was happy at first . It was because he easily figured out how to create magic possession items .

‘The secret is the tears of the Water Clan . If I design an item with this as the material, I can create magic items that possess spells . ’

What if S-grade magic was attached to weapons and armor? He would become incomparably stronger .

‘If my armor has Counter Barrier and my weapon has Meteor, I can be a 100 man… no, a 1,000 man army?

Maybe it would be enough to fight with the great demon Hell Gao .

‘Then what about the pavranium?’

What if magic possession items were made out of pavranium? The golden discs that could drop Meteor from the sky . Golden blades that fired all types of spells while flying . Golden boomerangs that could create a sea of fire . Golden needles that could emit lightning . Golden items with all types of magic attached to them would reign hell down on his opponents .

From then on, a true overgeared person would be born .

‘I am a genius . ’

He thought about the good idea for a while . The momentum lasted .

But then his face distorted . There was one part that disturbed him from the beginning . How was Euphemina able to obtain the abyss mithril and Water Clan King’s Tears?

‘The first discoverer of the Siren Kingdom . It was Euphemina . ’

How much did she gain as the first discoverer of the Siren Kingdom? The amount of money would be huge . When considering the quests and titles, he was sure that she would’ve benefited beyond imagination .

Shake shake .

“Kuoh…”

How did Grid feel about it? His stomach started cramping . He was conflicted .

‘I want to return the favor by making a unique rated orb, but…’

Thanks to Euphemina, he was able to acquire a precious production method and learned how to make magic possession items . He was so grateful that he wanted to do something for her . He might seem simple, but now he felt a huge affinity with Euphemina . He didn’t feel reluctant to see her anymore .

‘But Euphemina has more luck than a lottery winner . Wouldn’t it be nice to let her experience some trials?’



He was blinded by jealousy . He might’ve matured compared to the past, but human nature didn’t change easily . After all, Grid was still active as keyboard warrior . In the end, he eventually started with the intention of shoddily making an orb .

He poured the abyss mithril into the furnace and worked the bellows . It was silent . But then, “Sigh . I can’t do this . ”

This rottenness wouldn’t help him in the long run . Grid controlled his heart . Then he took a serious posture . He smelted the abyss mithril to the best of his ability .

Ttang! Ttang!

He started to make the ornaments and handle part of the orb .

“…”

The work had to be careful in order to properly express the old-fashioned design and make it a perfect fit . The extremely focused Grid handled the Legendary Blacksmith’s Hammer very delicately .

Three hours later .

Grid finally completed the handle and started smelting the magic stones . Then according to the process described in the production method, he mixed the Frost Queen’s Breath with the Water Clan King’s Tears .

‘Strange . ’

The finished crystal glistened with a blue color . As the name suggested, this was a transparent crystal . But it was as hard as steel . The magic stones, Frost Queen’s Breath and Water Clan King’s Tears combined into one and were reborn as a whole new mineral . Just as Pagma and Braham created the mineral called pavranium, Milepeu created this blue crystal mineral .

‘Milepeu… he was an amazing person . Then Euphemina will take this special mineral as well as being the Siren Kingdom’s first discoverer?’

Grid couldn’t help feeling jealous of Euphemina again . Naturally, his hands became dull .

Kaaang! Kaaang!

The crystal that was supposed to have a smooth bead shape became distorted .

“Heok?”

Grid looked at the shabby appearance caused by his jealousy and controlled his heart .

‘Wake up . ’

Grid focused . He tried to get rid of his malice . He did his best to deal with the delicate modifications .

Ttang! Ttang!

The crystal ball became increasingly beautiful and sleek . He had a hunch that at least an epic rated orb would be produced . Grid’s stomach cramps appeared again at this thought .

“Kuoh…!”

Why did he have to give the best gift to Euphemina, who was already the first discoverer of the Siren Kingdom? Was it fair for one person to have such a monopoly on good luck?

‘Dammit! I should make it rare rated . ’

Kaaang! Kaaang!

Grid’s hammering once again became sloppy .

But then,

‘…This isn’t it . Euphemina gave me a big present…’

Ttang! Ttang!

He worked delicately .

‘Ohh! First she has the fraudulent class of Duplicator, now she found the Siren Kingdom…’

Kaaang! Kaaang!

More shoddy work .

Ttang! Ttang!

Then he did his best .

Kaaang! Kaaang!

Shoddy work . He didn’t know how many times this repeated . Due to this uncontrollable behavior, Grid was like a madman .

“Hah… what am I doing now?”

Before he knew it, a whole night passed . The crystal ball was finished perfectly when seen from the outside .

Clink .

Despite the unfaithful attitude of the maker, a blue crystal ball with a beautiful shape attached to blue silver handles could be seen .

“Sigh…”

He didn’t know how many times he sighed during this work . It must’ve been at least 100 times . Yet he didn’t stop working . Grid’s heart didn’t wander anymore as he finished the job . And along the way .



[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Patience skill has been activated . Concentration, stamina and defense will rise to the extremes for one hour . ]

[The Legendary Blacksmith’s Breath has increased the effectiveness of your production items]



“…”

He didn’t know whether to be happy or sad at the notification windows that flashed in succession . This was the result .



[Indecisive Mumud’s Orb]

Weight: 150

[An legendary rated item was produced, so all stats have permanently risen by +10 and reputation throughout the continent has risen by +500 . ]



“…This, is it okay?”

Grid found it difficult to predict how Euphemina would react .

The Legendary Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship Skill Lv . 4 increased the basic abilities of the item by 18% and the Legendary Blacksmith’s Breath Lv . 3 increased it by 8%, so the basic performance of the orb rose sharply . However, he was uneasy because the power might be halved .

‘How did it turn out like this?’

Grid was worried about the finished orb, even if it had a legendary rating .

He didn’t know .

In the past, Euphemina acquired the title of ‘Competitor’ for winning the item production game and opened the good luck stat . After that, she was more likely to get a positive result when it came to random effects .

“Amazing…”

Euphemina was completely thrilled by the orb . Her face brightened like the dawn and she even shed tears . The reaction was natural . The orb Grid produced far exceeded her expectations . Moreover, the random option made it seem like an exclusive item just for her .

“Thank you…”

Euphemina was truly impressed . It was even greater than the joy she felt at discovering the Siren Kingdom .

“I’m really grateful . Encountering you was the best luck I ever had . ”

The smiling Euphemina still looked pretty, despite her runny nose . This was the first time Grid truly saw her without any pretenses .

“What, why are you crying?”

Grid’s jealousy had already disappeared like melted snow . On this day . Grid achieved great growth as a blacksmith and overcame the ‘Believe in me’ jinx . And Euphemina became a slave to the power of items .

Huroi and Lauel really liked their new colleague .
