Overgeared - Chapter 464

Chapter 464

“What did you want to talk to me about?”

After the closing ceremony .  

The Overgeared members gathered at a restaurant near the Eiffel Tower .  As a multinational guild, everyone’s skin and eye colors were different, but there was no sense of incongruity when they were together .   They looked at each other with trust and affection, seeming like a family .

"Baldy . ”

"Shut up! I’m not bald, I shaved!”

Of course, there were exceptions such as Pon and Vantner .

"I have brought Kraugel into Overgeared . ”

Lauel spoke amazed words in the midst of the turmoil .  Some of the members were agitated .

"The sky above the sky will join Overgeared?”

“How?”

Pon and Regas asked .  Unlike the other Overgeared members, they didn’t know about the plan to recruit Kraugel .  Of course, Grid was the same . Lauel started to explain the story to those who don’t know .

“ . . . That is what happened . Thus, we have the right to recruit Kraugel . ”

" . . . ”

Lauel told the whole story without any exaggeration .  His expression was dignified .  Lauel believed that Grid and the Overgeared members would be delighted by the Kraugel recruitment project .  However, Grid’s expression wasn’t good . Grid thought for a moment as he emptied his glass of beer before giving a shocking reaction .

“Don’t recruit Kraugel . ”

“ . . . Huh?”

It was unexpected .  Why not recruit the best power? Lauel and most of the Overgeared members were puzzled .

"We must recruit Kraugel! Kraugel’s blood will flow through the arteries of Overgeared! The Overgeared Guild will be stronger than ever . . . !”

Lauel started to talk about Kraugel’s value, but Grid interrupted .

"Can you force someone to become our colleague?”

Pon added .

“Kraugel is the type of person who has always played the game by himself . Doesn’t everyone know that he hates belonging to a group? Can we obtain his true heart if we recruit him like this? There might be a crack in the relationship, which could be dangerous one day . ”

Lauel countered .

"People change . Look at us now . The reason we became colleagues wasn’t pure . We joined because there was something we wanted . In the course of fulfilling it, our hearts opened and we became true co-workers . The same is true for Kraugel . He might rebel right now, but someday . . . ”

"No, it’s okay . ” Grid was adamant .  “Not only is he an existence that shouldn’t be caged, we aren’t weak enough that we should be obsessed with him . ”

Since he started Satisfy, Kraugel had been a solo player and this allowed him to reach the peak .  His way of playing was appropriate for him .  If he was locked into the framework of a group and changed the way he played, he would no longer be Kraugel .  Weren’t there many cases of that in CD games? The enemy would become weak after joining their party!

“Those are just assumptions!”

It was Lauel who reacted to the end .  Most of the members of Overgeared understood his feelings .  This was the opportunity to recruit the strongest power, but it might be missed due to internal opposition . How annoyed would Lauel be? Grid saw Lauel’s heart and spoke openly without hiding anything .  

“Lauel, I lost to Kraugel . ”

Kraugel was Grid’s goal . He was the sky that Grid wanted to reach . In the end, he failed to reach it .

“Some people might laugh, but I think of myself as Kraugel’s rival . I want to continue competing until I someday surpass him . ”

“ . . . Ah . ”

Lauel realized .

‘I . . . I can never fathom Grid’s mind!’

It was very uncomfortable and damaging to the pride to have someone he couldn’t defeat under him . Lauel understood Grid’s position and nodded .

"I understand . . . I won’t make the deal with Kraugel . ”

Grid asked like he didn’t understand .

"Why not?”

" . . . Didn’t you say not to recruit him?”

Grid smiled wickedly at Lauel .

“Not recruiting him doesn’t mean we can’t make a deal . ”

***

After the closing ceremony, people’s interest in the National Competition started to disperse as other topics became popular in the various media .  Kraugel’s name disappearing from the list of rankers’ shocked the world .  Therefore, Kraugel was forced to take refuge in the Russian players’ jet after being chased by reporters .

‘Lauel said he would contact me in 30 minutes . ’

He would connect to Satisfy for a while . Kraugel connected to Satisfy using the capsule installed in the plane . Then he opened his status window .

‘It’s beyond imagination . . . ’

Kraugel was shocked by the Sword Saint class .  His level had fallen to 1 and the skills and stats he worked hard to train had been reset to the beginning .  Fortunately, his titles remained and the basic skills and abilities of the Sword Saint were amazing . Russia received a 30% experience buff thanks to being 1st in the overall rankings, so it wouldn’t be difficult to recover his level .  In particular, Kraugel’s passive skill Keen Senses disappeared and the originally active Super Sensitivity was changed to a stat .

‘The Super Sensitivity passive . . . ’

It could be considered a passive that could be trained without any limits .  In the short term, the performance was weaker compared to the old Super Sensitivity . However, that would change later .  If he developed the stat properly, Kraugel would become an absolute person who was always in the Super Sensitivity state . Of course, it was likely that the performance would fall compared to the initial Super Sensitivity when it was an active skill .

-Kraugel! Can you come out for a while?

A voice came from outside the capsule when Kraugel was connected to the game .  Alexander .  The skinhead Alexander .  As an extreme nationalist, he originally disregarded Kraugel and showed resentment . Now he was acting as Kraugel’s loyal dog . It was because he had infinite respect for Kraugel, who made Russia the first ranked country .

-What?

Alexander explained to Kraugel .

-That monkey . . .  No, a Korean person said he wanted to meet you .

-Who?

-G-Grid .  Why did he come after losing to you in PvP? What should I do? Should I send him back?

-No, wait .

Kraugel immediately logged out . He knew why Grid had come to see him .

‘Lauel told him the story . ’

Now Grid had learned the truth .  He came to receive the vow of allegiance .  Originally, a group always had a hierarchy .  Kraugel smiled bitterly as he emerged from the capsule . Then he witnessed an amazing sight .

"Ugh . . . !"

“Hnng~~”

At the airplane’s entrance .  The Russia players with big physiques were falling helplessly .  The reason wasn’t clear . He didn’t know why, but this phenomenon was caused every time Grid’s fingers touched their bodies .

“H-Huaaat~~!”

Another Russia player let out a strange moan when touched by Grid .   At the same time, he blushed and looked down slowly . . .

Omitted .

"W-What the hell is he doing?”

Alexander was terrified and hid his big body behind Kraugel . He was afraid of Grid, who offered ecstasy to his colleagues with just one finger .

“Hello?”

Grid discovered Kraugel and greeted him . Kraugel took off the translator and responded in Korean .

“It’s good to see you . It’s only been two hours . ”

"Isn’t your Korean quite good?”

"I can’t be poor at my native language . ”

"Hrmm . . . "

Grid took off the useless translator and glanced doubtfully at Kraugel .  The outline of the body was correct, but Kraugel looked too much like a woman . It was also a pretty woman . Grid looked at the long eyelashes and came to a conclusion .

"Friends . ”

“ . . . What?”

Kraugel expected Grid to ask him to join Overgeared, so he was baffled by the words . Grid approached him and reached out a hand .

"Let’s help each other when it’s difficult . In the future, you don’t have to fight alone like this . ”

Grid knew .  There were limitations to being alone . Grid anticipated that one day, Kraugel would need his power .

"I’m not inviting you to join the guild . We’ll just help each other when it’s needed . ”

“ . . . Why?” Kraugel couldn’t believe it .  “Why are you treating me so good?”

Why didn’t Grid forcefully make him join the guild? It was possible in his position . Why do such a big favor?

Grid replied simply to Kraugel .

"I need a competitor in the future . I want your development . If I fight against you as you become stronger, I will also develop . In the first place, I’m already satisfied with having Piaro in the guild . ”

" . . . ”

The present Grid was completely different than the one Kraugel met in Reidan .  There were no shadows on his face and his eyes were dignified .  He had a dependable atmosphere around him . Kraugel felt thrilled and grabbed Grid’s big and rough hand .

“I’m glad . ”

‘I will run whenever you call me . And thank you . ’

Kraugel swallowed down those words .  He thought that Grid would know even if he didn’t say it . And Grid also knew .

“Thanking me? Promise me one thing . Every time I call, run over . You are able to treat your mother’s illness thanks to Lauel . Shouldn’t you return the favor?”

“ . . . I understand . ”

What was the concept of friends that Grid was talking about? Kraugel felt seriously concerned as Grid patted his shoulders .

"Once your mother recovers, come to South Korea to play . I’ll show you around . "

 “ . . . Yes . ”

Thank you .  Kraugel gave a rare smile, looking more beautiful than ever .  Kraugel longed for the health and well-being of all mothers in the world .

On this day .  The players who participated in the National Competition left for their home countries . A new adventure was waiting for them .
