Overgeared

"God Grid, after hearing your story, I developed great interest in Eat Spicy Jokbal and kept in steady contact with him. But it was hard work. I looked all over the country for Eat Spicy Jokbal and learned to distinguish the taste of makguksu in every store...”

“...”

Various expressions crossed Daehan’s face as he recalled it. All types of memories seemed to come to mind.

“I wanted to give up several times. But I didn’t give up. Why? I searched for Eat Spicy Jokbal. I am convinced that Eat Spicy Jokbal is a person that the Overgeared Kingdom needs!”

“...”

“The result is what you see now. I became friends with Eat Spicy Jokbal. Hut, how about it? Isn’t it great? Kuahahahat!”

Daehan laughed excitedly while putting a had on Eat Spicy Jokbal’s shoulders. They seemed really close.

One second later.

"Where are you putting your hand?” A cold attitude! Eat Spicy Jokbal broke away from Daehan’s hands and warned Youngwoo. “Don’t get me wrong. I am fundamentally different from you guys. We can never be friends.”

“Fundamentally?”

“Yes, I’m evil. The reason why I’m participating in this National Competition is different from you. I’m not participating in the National Competition for the sake of the country. I’m not a person with high patriotism.”

“...”

"My purpose is only money! Money! I will recoup the damage of the egg you stole with the gold medals!”

“...Um.”

Youngwoo wasn’t participating in the National Competition for the country. It was also to satisfy his individual desires. However, Eat Spicy Jokbal misunderstood. No, it wasn’t just him. Most South Koreans considered Shin Youngwoo to be a patriot.

It was natural. From an objective point of view, Youngwoo was better off not participating in the National Competition. If he hadn’t participated in the National Competition, he could’ve hidden the true powers of Pagma's Descendant and would be able to play the game in a better position. Youngwoo was a person who could make money by producing more items. There was no need to covet the rewards of the National Competition.

But Youngwoo participated in the National Competition every year. People had no choice but to misunderstand that Youngwoo was participating in the National Competition out of pure patriotism.

‘Well, that doesn’t mean there is no patriotism.’

As a former member of South Korea’s army, he had a minimum of patriotism. It was good that he helped his country. But the real reason why Youngwoo participated in the National Competition was honor, not patriotism. He wanted to prove himself in public and be recognized as a better person.

In addition, there was additional compensation from the National Competition. Youngwoo could receive myth-rated materials as a reward for gold medals. They couldn’t be obtained even with money. In particular, the compensation for this year was expected to be larger than last year.

‘Last year, the only myth rated material I knew was adamantium.’

He was different from before. This year’s Youngwoo knew the existence of various myth rated materials such as the sacred creatures byproducts and the Goddess’ Hair that he could demand as a gold medal compensation from the S.A. Group.

‘I have to win two gold medals.’

He wanted a byproduct of the sacred creatures, such as the Red Phoenix Breath. He was eager to make a second and third Enlightenment Sword.

“Um... Our relationship will gradually become established. Either way, it’s nice to meet you.”

Youngwoo woke up from his thoughts and shook hands with Eat Spicy Jokbal. Youngwoo felt good at Eat Spicy Jokbal’s desire to ‘make up for the damage of losing the dragon egg with the gold medals.’ He seemed to be a straightforward person.

He would threaten Youngwoo to pay back the debt from the game. At a minimum, he would express hostility. But Eat Spicy Jokbal’s gaze
