Overgeared

Gobble up all the stakes of a kingdom alone? Grid’s expression wasn’t very good.

“What? Are you asking me to be a dictator? What right do I have when everyone has suffered so much?”

Grid’s reaction made Lauel smile.

“Dictator... It would be nice if you could become a dictator and rule the kingdom well. For example, the Saharan Empire. This is a different world from reality. Due to the nature of these times, there wouldn’t be opposition if you were a dictator.

"...Unfortunately, I don’t think I can rule a country well.”

Grid knew his abilities. He didn’t have any political power. He was convinced that the country would soon perish if he ruled it according to his rule. This meant his 72 billion won would disappear. It was horrible just imagining it.

Lauel laughed at the frowning Grid. “I’m not urging you to be a dictator. You should give your subordinates the proper authority. But I want you to be the firm center that can’t be displaced.”

If a large number of guild members shared the stakes in the kingdom, Grid’s influence would become smaller. Lauel wanted to prevent the worst from happening.

“Isn’t there a saying in South Korea that too many cooks will spoil the broth?” I don’t want such a thing to happen.”

"A large number of cooks will spoil the broth...”

There was such a saying in his country? Grid admired the American Lauel and nodded.

“I see. I understand.”

Yes, it really made sense. He was convinced that it would be ideal to provide the funding for the kingdom alone. But there was one problem.

"How can I raise 60 million gold?”

Grid’s current assets exceeded 20 billion won. It was a level that could provide for him for the rest of his life, but it was lacking compared to the 72 billion won he needed. Lauel shrugged at the troubled Grid.

“Think about it yourself. It isn’t that hard."

Lauel highly valued Grid. He didn’t doubt that Grid was the most valuable person in the world. But Grid didn’t realize this himself. It was a hundred times better than those who didn’t fear the world, but it was questionable if Grid could express his big vessel.

Lauel wanted Grid to value himself more. Grid looked at the silent Lauel and had a thought.

"Should I get a sponsor?” What if he got a large investment from a real-world company active in Satisfy? "I can ask them for an investment in return for placing signs on every main street in the cities. How about it?”

“Well... That’s the common way.”

It wasn’t bad. It was clear that the world would be paying a lot of attention to the first country set up by a player. In particular, there were many players and a high floating population would occur. From the viewpoint of the companies, they wouldn’t lose money investing in the kingdom. But it wasn’t the answer that Lauel wanted.

Grid saw Lauel’s bad expression and asked. “Is there a better way?”

"Of course.”

“What is it?” Lauel grinned at Grid’s confused expression. The wicked smile was similar to Grid’s. His resemblance to Grid kept increasing. “Labor.”
