Grid converted Alex’s Magic Engineering Bayonet to sniper mode and checked the maximum distance . The sniping distance wasn’t mentioned in the item description . Grid used a target to identify the distance .

‘87 meters . . . ’

OF course, every noble Korean male who joined the army would know .  The fact that you could hit a 200 meter, 300 meter target with a rifle .  But it was obvious that the target was small . When Grid used the sniper mode, it was up to a distance of 87 meters that the ‘must hit’ option was applied . If the distance was more than that, the target couldn’t be seen easily and accuracy would fall, causing a warning window to pop up .

‘The performance of the scope is garbage . . . ’

The scope of the sniper model showed little zoom capability .  Grid questioned whether this could be called a sniper rifle .  But there was a fact that couldn’t be overlooked . Satisfy’s scientific power remained mostly in the Middle Ages .  In Satisfy, guns weren’t a produce of science of technology . They were a produce of engineering magic that the dwarves developed .  Pagma didn’t know how to produce a magic bayonet until he learned it from the dwarves .

‘In addition, the sniper mode was an area that even the dwarves couldn’t make . ’

In the first place, Satisfy had the ‘Hawk Eye’ skill . It helped to broaden the field of view and to clearly identity distant targets . All the snipers in Satisfy had this skill .  Strictly speaking, it was a time when the concept of a scope didn’t even exist . The fact that Pagma created a scope in this day and age could be regarded as an amazing event . It was understandable that it would have a poor performance .

"Well, whatever . "

Yura was a gunman and should have a vision skill, allowed her to maximize the abilities of the sniper rifle . She could snipe targets that were a few hundred meters away .  This was the real reason why Grid wasn’t greedy for Alex’s Magic Engineering Bayonet . It was the same for the Red Phoenix Bow .  It was impossible for Grid to use the power of Alex’s Magic Engineering Bayonet to 100% when he didn’t have the Hawk Eye skill .

‘There’s no need to be misled . The aiming time is too long and the target has to be within 100 meters for instant death . ’

He didn’t need to be greedy .  This was originally a weapon for a Demon Slayer .  Giving it to Yura would benefit all of the Overgeared Kingdom .  Grid didn’t doubt it . He smiled cheerfully as he imagined a beautiful woman aiming at the enemy with a sniper rifle . The imaginary Yura looked strangely cute and charming .

“ . . . Sigh . ”

Grid shook off his imagination . He felt he was pathetic for touching a tree that couldn’t be climbed .

‘I will just receive damage if I like someone . '



The incident with Ahyoung was the biggest trauma in Grid’s life . Grid has no confidence in real world relationships .  What about the women screaming his name when he went to Chinese restaurants? That’s right .  Grid thought the reason these women cheered was because they were pure fans . It was the only rational reason for women being nice to him .  Who could imagine that a man who was a celebrity and had the potential to be one of the richest in the world would have such low confidence?

But it was the truth .  Grid had received a big psychological blow . Of course, it was only in reality .

'It’s okay, I have Irene . ’

How lonely would he be without her? He was always thankful for the one who gave him love .

“ . . . ”

Grid thought of Irene’s warm and kind eyes .  His hands were moving non-stop while he was thinking .  He cut the cloth with scissors and used thread and needle to turn it into the shape of underwear .  Sticks was very embarrassed .  A legendary blacksmith and king of a nation was sitting down and making underwear with a sincere expression . Sticks felt that something was wrong . However, Grid wasn’t self-conscious when doing his work .

‘I have to raise the skill level and make underwear for all the soldiers . ’

After acquiring the intermediate Underwear Production Method, Grid’s underwear was given a defensive ability, even if it was normal rated .  The defense was in the single digits and very minimal, but it was better than nothing . A single digit defense could save 10,000 or 20,000 lives!

‘I don’t need to make a lot of money . . . Okay . Let’s keep making it . I’ll be the manager of an underwear factory . ’

The current Grid was focused on raising the skill level of his underwear production . The skill was only at intermediate level and the experience was steadily increasing, despite him not producing high rated items .  Thus, he didn’t use any special materials for the underwear . He used the cheapest materials . The cost of making the underwear was less than two silver . Of course, even a small amount would accumulate sooner or later .  Even if it was two silver per piece, a lot of gold would be required in order to make it for 10,000 soldiers .  Sage Sticks was concerned about this part .

"Your concern for the soldiers is great and deserves to be praised . But won’t this be a considerable loss for the kingdom?”

Sticks was currently working for the Overgeared Kingdom . Lauel and Rabbit asked him to teach at the academy as well as financial management .  That’s why he was talking about spending with Grid . Grid felt gratitude to the concerned Sticks and smiled .

"It's okay . I am using my own pockets . ”

“Huh . . . ”

The king was financing the soldiers? Sticks was surprised by Grid’s decision . Humans in high positions were often greedy . It was rare for a person like Grid, who didn’t feel any greed, to appear . Grid explained .



"If I make underwear, the soldiers will like me more . Then they won’t protest when I raise the taxes later . Right?”

“ . . . I see . ”

Indeed, humans weren’t easy to judge . Sage Sticks felt enlightenment .

 

[The principal of the Overgeared Academy, Sage Sticks intelligence stat has increased by 10 . ]

[The principal of the Overgeared Academy, Sage Sticks has learnt the skills ‘Human Vigilance’ and ‘Caution . ’]

 


“????”

What happened? Sticks bowed to Grid, who didn’t know what was going on .

“Thank you . ”

“ . . . ”

Somehow, Grid felt a bit upset .

 

***

 

"I feel it every time, but the comfort of the Comet Group’s diamond class capsule is really great . ”

Even playing PC games on a small monitor stimulated the human peripheral nerves . Anyone who played PC games would experience the hand holding the mouse becoming covered in sweat .  The excitement of virtual reality games, which was a much more immersive experience than PC games, was much greater .

Sweat flowed all over Shin Youngwoo as he got up from the capsule .  If it wasn’t for the diamond class capsule’s ability to control the condition of the occupant, he would be sweating like a drowned rat .  Youngwoo was excited from going against Death Knight Alex .  Youngwoo was feeling expectant for the confrontation with the death knight on the 63rd island and the rewards he would get .

There was no fear . He was burning with motivation to win without the immortal skill .  

"Let’s wash up . ”

Lululala~

Youngwoo hummed as he headed to the bathroom, turning on the TV attached to the marbled wall of the bathroom . It was naturally fixed to a channel specializing in news about Satisfy .

『 Do you remember the news a week ago where there was a rebellion within the Saharan Empire? Surprisingly, unlike the predictions of experts, the empire still hasn’t subdued the rebels . 』

The point of rebellion on the news screen was ‘Lubana . ’  It coincided with the place that Lauel had mentioned .

‘Right there . . . ’

Grid was rubbing soap over his body when his hand suddenly stopped . The anchor’s voice was continuing .

『 It is interpreted that the person who is supposed to be Undefeated King Madra’s opponent is playing a big role . 』

“ . . . ”

Undefeated King Madra .  The hero who defended Lubana from the empire during its heyday and boasted overwhelming defense .  He had never been defeated and was called the Undefeated King .  It was easy to deduce that he was a legend . Thus, Youngwoo was wary .

『 We should pay attention to the identity of the Undefeated King’s descendant . A player or an NPC? What new wind will they bring to Satisfy? 』

The artificial intelligence of named NPCs was excellent . Better than most humans .  Whether the Undefeated King’s descendant was a NPC or player, it was clear they would have a big influence on the West Continent in the future .  Just like right now . Their emergence allowed the Overgeared Kingdom and Valhalla to take a breath from the empire’s pressure and made the empire’s influence decrease .

‘The descendant of the Undefeated King is likely to be a player like me . ’

Of course, there was a chance it could be an NPC . It was still impossible to speculate about their identity .

‘Anyway, it’s great . ’

According to Ares, there was a tremendous gap between the empire’s solo number knights .  The fifth knight was at the level of the current best players . Thus, the fifth knight was a bit better than Kraugel and Grid . The fourth knight was many times stronger and the third knight several times stronger than the fourth knight . Among them, the one considered to be the strongest . . .

‘The first knight . ’

Mercedes .  He had already met the young woman, whose name reminded Youngwoo of a luxury foreign car .  He had felt it intuitively .  She was a wall that couldn’t be overcome yet . The army she led had destroyed the Ares Army, yet they were now being defeated by the Undefeated King’s descendant .

'Is it really an NPC?’

If the Undefeated King’s descendant was a player, they couldn’t afford to go against the empire yet .

‘In the first place, a player would have a very low level . If he just became a legend . . . No, wait . ’

Just becoming a legend? There was no reason to think so .  Youngwoo got goosebumps .  The fact that Youngwoo and Kraugel became legends was only reported several months later .  It was also due to unavoidable circumstances . Youngwoo revealed his identity while raiding the Yatan Servants and Kraugel revealed he was a legend while raiding the great demon .

‘Can a low level player stop the imperial army? If the Undefeated King’s descendant is a player, they might’ve obtained the legendary title a long time ago . ’

Shaaaaaaah-

Youngwoo stood in the shower . He smiled as he saw the water flowing down his body .

‘An NPC or player is welcome . ’

Really, there was no room to relax .  Satisfy gave people constant irritation and vitalization .  Youngwoo felt anxious, but delighted . His complicated emotions burned brightly . He would soon enter the 63rd island .
