Overgeared

Chapter 59

“Ms. Clarice’s presented work, the ‘Diamond Necklace that Causes a Slight Change in Sensation’ has been won for 453 gold. Mr. Grees’ presented work, ‘Cold Protection Inner Armor’ has been won for 189 gold. Mr. Piglet’s presented work, the ‘Bitter but Superior Strength Potion’ has been won for 15 gold each. Mr. Steng’s presented work, the ‘Long Sword that Easily Harmonizes with Magic’ has been won for 1,900 gold.”

The people whose items were won cheered.

Steng also rejoiced.

“My teacher’s work was sold! Teacher will be very pleased!”

Stein would be given a new production method with this quest clear reward. He approached me with the intention of receiving congratulations, but my stomach hurt and my mouth didn’t open.

‘Dammit. My items weren’t won after all… Shit, I should’ve made the price cheaper.’

As I was trembling with anger and regret.

“Mr. Grid’s presented work, the ‘Very Delicate Plate Armor’ has been won for 3,500 gold. The ‘Seemingly Plain Gauntlets’ have been won for 2,000 gold.”

“…Eh?”

I doubted my ears. Did he say 3,500 gold just now? It wasn’t 2,000 gold?

The other people freaked out.

“No way… How can an item be sold for such an expensive price?”

“As expected from epic items! The level limit is also over 100…”

Steng sent me a look of envy. “Amazing! Your teacher must be an incredibly good blacksmith! Is he a blacksmith with the Advanced Blacksmith’s Craftsmanship skill? Huh?”

“…”

I couldn’t hear anything. The words ‘I made money’ and ‘jackpot’ echoed through my head. 5,500 gold in cash was…

‘6,600,000 won…’

A huge sum that would require 73 days of labor was earned in just one week. It was also from two epic items!

“Abo…aboooo…”

I wanted to cheer, but my mouth wasn’t working well. The auctioneer spoke while I was completely baffled.

“Mr. Grid, the administrator wants to meet you. Follow me.”

Steng congratulated me. “Wow! Now you will be entitled to deliver goods to the castle. The smithy will become quite busy and the quests you will receive from your master will be enormous! Congratulations!”

Steng was sincerely happy, unlike me who felt pained when I saw him doing well. He was still in his mid-teens, but he was very friendly. I liked it. Once I became the owner of the smithy, I would be sure to recruit him. He seemed like the type who wouldn’t complain over some unreasonable labor.

“Thank you for congratulating me. Then I’ll see you next time.”

I gave Steng the kindest smile possible as I looked forward to our reunion someday. Steng looked blue as he took a few steps back and replied.

“Ah, goodbye.”

I said goodbye to Steng and headed to the administrator’s office. The administrator was a middle-aged man. He had an impressive mustache and welcomed me warmly.

“Ohh, you’re Grid! I was very impressed after seeing your work. I was wondering how you became the smithy’s successor at such a young age, but I’m fully convinced after seeing your skills! Come, sit down.”
