Chapter 431



The NPC called Swan .

He had the unique skills of 'Adaptation' and 'Escape . '

Adaptation showed the effect of 'increased speed of recovery from abnormal conditions,' 'decreased terrain penalty,' and 'decrease in the usage conditions of items . ' Escape had the effect of 'never being caught by the enemy and never dying in combat . '

Grid had an idea the moment he saw Swan with the Great Lord's Sword .  He gave Swan the role that he originally intended for himself, under the assumption that Lauel predicted all his thoughts and actions and prepared countermeasures for them .  It was to convince the enemy that Swan was Grid and make them follow Lauel's plan .

The result was commendable .  Swan was armed with Grid's Greatsword and Triple Layers .  He was recognized as Grid and served as good bait for Skull's group . The US determined that Lauel's plan was a success and completely erased their guard against Grid .

Thanks to this, Grid could act freely . He waited until the buff effect of the Motley Flail was activated and successfully pushed the US into a crisis .

The result was a defeat .

***

After the end of the siege .

The resurrected NPCs gathered around Grid .  The NPCs in the US team seemed to be resurrected as well . The NPCs for the siege weren't disposable . At least, in the server dedicated to the National Competition, they enjoyed eternal life, just like players .

"I'm sorry . I was unable to properly perform my role as bait . "

Swan apologized and looked at Grid .

Grid alternated looking between him and Lucky . He was filled with a powerful possessive desire to have them .

'I want to take them to Reidan . . . '

Third advancement NPCs .  The level was nearly twice as high as the soldiers in Reidan, and a lot of them were able to deal with the unbuffed Grid .  In addition, Lucky had the good luck special stat and Swan had skills that would be useful in raids . But Grid had to end this relationship here .  They would only temporarily be used for a limited amount of time in the National Competition .

"You did nothing wrong . I'm sorry that you lost because I was lacking . "

Those who were originally in a high position couldn't easily recognize their mistakes because they had a lot to lose, and were also good at passing on responsibility .  But Grid was the opposite .  He apologized to Swan and even knocked on his shoulder to encourage him .

Swan was thrilled because he was a noble person with humility and responsibility . There was a growing sense of respect in his heart .  Grid reached out to the thrilled Swan . Did he want to shake hands?

'A noble man is shaking hands with someone like me . . . '



The moment the excited Swan grabbed Grid's hand .

"What are you doing?"

" . . . Huh?"

There was rising resentment in Grid's eyes as he looked at the bewildered Swan .

"Are you planning to keep my items?"

"Ah . . . "

He could feel killing intent . The frightened Swan hurriedly started to take off Grid's items that he had been wearing for a while . Grid also gave back Swan's items .

" . . . "

The two men had an expression of regret as they changed items . Someday, they hoped to meet again . On the other hand, the magician Lucky was staring at Grid in a hot and sticky manner .

'The taste of hitting was very good . . . '

He couldn't forget the thrilling feeling whenever his flail hit Grid's hard muscles . Due to Grid, Lucky got a new hobby . Unfortunately, his everyday life was destined to be difficult .

***

Thanks to the match between South Korea and the United States, other countries were able to gather useful information .  

First, the NPCs had hidden abilities .  Second, the NPCs could be armed with new items . Third, there was no need to be deceived by the eight paths .

"It's a simple matter if you walk through the center . "

The shortest and widest path .  It was better to concentrate their forces on the most efficient path, rather than disperse their forces and take risks on inaccurate plans .  Most of the countries thought this, making the siege matches very monotonous .

The moment the siege started, they gathered in the central path and fought . The country who won there would win the siege .  Of course, it wasn't just a contest of power . The battle tactics was the key .  The representatives of each country distributed their items as efficiently as possible, armed and strengthened the NPCs, and fought against the enemies in an extraordinary manner .

As a result, the siege event maintained a steady high audience rating and produced many conversations .  But the South Korea vs US match received the highest ratings .  



Grid broke his existing image of 'ignorant overgeared' person and prepared a lot, while Lauel's brains made everything useless .  Grid's destructive force which smashed the US formations .

The South Korea vs US match had more elements to stimulate the viewers than any other match . Grid and Lauel's reputations rose in an incomparable manner, and this was directly linked to the rise in awareness for the Overgeared Guild .

***

The National Competition's third day .

After the round of 32, round of 16 and the quarterfinals, the four finalists were decided .  Under the power of Damian, Japan earned the nickname of the 'Strongest Army . ' Russia had Kraugel, who broke through the enemy and reached the castle .  The world's strongest United States .


Thus far, there was nothing big .  People predicted that the US and Japan would enter the finals, and Russia's actions were also within prediction range .  But Argentina was different . Few people expected Argentina to advance to the semi-finals . Even the people of Argentina didn't expect it .  Argentina was one of the countries weak in Satisfy, and they didn't even qualify for the 1st National Competition .  They were almost the same as South Korea .

But they advanced into the top four and were facing the strongest countries .  How did they do it?

Seuron . The result was due to his absolute force .

"Soul Predator . . . "

The reserved audience seats .  The South Korea representatives, including Yura and Peak Sword, kept a close eye on Seuron .  They weren't the only ones .  Players from all countries were concentrating on Seuron as they watched the siege . It was due to Seuron's presence . His strength was comparable to Kraugel, Damian, and Grid .

'This is the dignity of combat specific classes . '

Seuron's unique combat ability to exploit the souls of enemy and allied corpses to increase his own strength was perfect . It was difficult to find any weak points in all aspects of physical attack, magic attack, defense, resistance, AOE , CC, etc .

'I think that even God Grid will find it hard against Seuron . . . '

Peak Sword had this thought, despite being a passionate follower of Grid .  But Grid had no interest in Seuron . Grid was only focused on Kraugel .

'How can he think about moving like that?'

Kraugel's movements avoided all the concentrated attacks of dozens of NPCs while breaking through the enemy at the same time .  Grid couldn't even imagine the movements, let alone mimic it . Grid realized one thing .

'Imagination . '

Maybe this imagination was one of the important elements of his strength? It was a tremendous weapon because Kraugel could move in ways that others didn't expect . It was movement beyond predictions . However, did a person have to be smart to be imaginative?

In other words . . .

'He is good at fighting and smart?'

Grid recalled that he heard people who were smart were good at sports .

"This is very annoying . "

It was a desperate reality for Grid who wasn't smart .  He felt like he faced a higher barrier than an average person living in this world . The Grid in the past would've trembled with anger and lamented .

'But I'm not useless . '

Grid now knew . It was much more profitable to overcome this than to blame his own talent .

"Umm . . . "

Grid grew more and more focused as he watched Kraugel . He was devising methods to win against Kraugel in PvP .

At that moment .

Ttiring~

A mail arrived on Youngwoo's phone .

'Is it Sehee?'

A phone that almost never rang .  He expected it to be from his parents or sister, only to find something interesting .  Comet Group . It was a mail from one of the domestic companies that offered to sponsor Grid .

[Shin Youngwoo-nim .

We've been watching your activities in the National Competition with great interest .  As a Korean citizen, I feel very proud and thankful .  If you don't mind, can we discuss the contract that was cancelled the other day? We will do our best to satisfy you . Please give us a positive response .

Head of the Public Relations Team, Yook Shihyun . ]

It was the company that offered him 300 million .  300 million .  He couldn't deny that it was a huge amount of money to receive just for wearing the mark of the Comet Group on his chest .  However, Grid's value was much higher than that .  It wasn't a baseless pride . Weren't there articles about Zibal got 3 . 6 billion from the world class company Radidas?

'I should get at least 1 billion . . . '

Yura spoke to Grid, who was looking at the text message .

"Why aren't you replying to it?"

"Hrmm . . . "

Grid turned to look at Yura .  There was a pink flush on Yura's white cheeks .  She couldn't help feeling embarrassed as Grid stared at her . But Grid wasn't conscious about this at all .

"I don't want to meet them at all . They don't know my value . "

It wasn't a grudge .  Above all, Grid was in the position of master of Overgeared, so he couldn't put down his value .  He was worried that the value of Overgeared would fall if he was too cheap .

Yura asked him with a serious expression, "Youngwoo, your current cash assets should be around 6 billion?"

"No, it's around 5 billion . "

If he added the building that was to be completed in a month, his total assets would be 15 billion .  It was huge for Grid, who was debt-ridden two years ago . He couldn't help being proud as he recalled those days . The fact that he could eat food without worrying about money made him feel like he could have the world .

Yura handed out reality to Grid with a gentle expression .

"Youngwoo, 5 billion isn't as much money as you think . It is likely that you will have to spend billions of won if you want to buy high end materials like adamantium or dragon scales, that ultimately must be collected . "

Then Peak Sword chimed in .

"There are many rich people in the world, and at this moment, a new rich person is being born . There are hundreds of gold spoons in South Korea alone who can collect cars worth more than 5 billion won . As the average level of the users in Satisfy increases, the value of items will rise more and more . We need to have enough money to adapt to the times . "

The end point was simple .  If he was aiming to be a king, he shouldn't be complacent with what he currently had . Grid wasn't in a position where he could reject the pumpkin that rolled up to him .

'That's right . '

Grid received enlightenment and replied to the team leader .

-4 billion .
