“Keok…”
Grid simply wanted to design a stealth item. In addition to the hiding function, he never expected the stunning options such as increased movement speed and wind resistance.
Chapter 68
Chapter 68
‘I can use this to avoid the monsters in Kesan Canyon, then I can sell them to people and quickly pay off my debt.’
Grid felt tremendous satisfaction as he saw the Hooded Zip Up that he created.
‘Am I surprisingly a hidden genius? I actually created such a fraudulent item!’
The materials required to create the Hooded Zip Up were 20 sylphid scales. Grid asked Khan with a light heart. “Where do the sylphids live? Do I need to hunt them to get the scales?”
“Hmm?” Khan looked surprised at my question, then burst out laughing. “Hahaha! What? Hunt the sylphids? What are you saying? Unless you’re an elementalist, it’s impossible to find sylphids with the human eyes. But hunting them? Hahahaha!”
“…What?”
It was like a bolt out of the blue. Grid’s face turned red. Then he grabbed Khan and shouted. “No, what? You should’ve told me sooner! Then where can I obtain sylphid scales?”
Grid was sincerely angry. He was afraid this would be the same as Failure.
‘I have already created the production method! I must obtain the materials to make it!’
Khan was confused by Grid’s appearance and hurriedly explained, “Sylphids can’t be found, but there is a way to obtain their scales. Just hunt the frostlight orcs. Then you will be able to obtain the sylphid scales.”
“Frostlight orcs? What are they? How can I obtain sylphid scales from them?”
Grid really didn’t know anything. No, it was more appropriate to say the sylphid scales and frostlight orcs were unfamiliar to general users. In the case of the sylphids, they were classified as elementals, so most people didn’t even know they existed. Meanwhile, the frostlight orcs lived far from people, so they weren’t well known.
“The frostlight orcs are monsters inhabiting the snowy north. They have blue skin, unlike the regular orcs with green skin, more intelligence, and are 1.5 times greater in size. They are extremely strong against the cold, but their weakness is fire.”
“What’s the relationship between them and the sylphids?”
“The frostlight orcs have a sixth sense that can detect and hunt sylphids. They like to keep the sylphid scales as treasures. In other words, you can obtain sylphid scales if you hunt the frostlight orcs.”
“Ohh! Okay! Orcs are easy to hunt, so I’ll gather a lot of scales!”
This was different from Failure. The materials to make it could be obtained. Khan watched the excited Grid with concerned eyes.
“Hey Grid, stay alert. As I mentioned, the frostlight orcs are different from common orcs. They are very powerful. If you don’t aim at their weakness well, you won’t be able to injure them.”
Grid snorted.
‘Orcs are easy.’
Orcs, goblins, kobolds! These three species represented easy monsters in Satisfy. They were monsters for level 10~40 users to hunt. Grid knew this, so he ignored Khan’s advice.
‘I need to prepare winter clothes for the cold.’
Grid equipped the hammer that he had made.

Grid was confident. It was unlikely for him to create a normal rated item with this hammer.
‘I should at least make a rare rated item. In addition, a lot of epic items will come out.’
Grid was full of confidence as he asked Khan. “How do I make armor with excellent cold resistance.”
“If you use giant brown bear leather…”
That day. Khan taught Grid how to make giant brown bear leather armor and he spent 20 hours making it. And the next morning! Grid finished the armor with a level limit of 130, and the information popped up in front of him.

Grid was frustrated.
“Norma… normal? This is crazy! Nonsense!”
He invested 20 hours in production time and used the finest quality bear leather. In addition, he had the hammer that increased the odds of making an epic item. Nevertheless, he still made a normal item. How unlucky was he?
“This is manipulation… Clearly… The manipulation of those scummy operators!”
He was the only legendary blacksmith among two billion users, so why could he only make normal items? It was a phenomenon that couldn’t be understood! Grid wanted to log out right now and go to S.A Group’s headquarters. Then he would shout until the president emerged. But!
“… If I have the guts to do that, I would’ve done it sooner.”
Every time he made an item, he expected it to be finished with a high rating., However, most of the items had a normal rating and he was always disappointed. Therefore, he was already used to being disappointed.
That’s why Grid quickly calmed himself and started making gloves, boots, a cloak and a hat using the giant brown bear leather. Unlike armor, the gloves, boots, cloak and hat required less detail, so the time required to make them wasn’t very long, even when he used his maximum effort.

There were two normal items, one rare and one epic. Grid managed to appease himself.
“This performance isn’t bad. Should I put it on?”

Grid already knew that a penalty would be applied if he didn’t meet the item usage conditions, even if he had full understanding.
‘It’s like the Ideal Dagger. The Ideal Dagger with a unique rating has a 20% penalty, while a normal rated item has a 5% penalty. Then what about a rare and epic rating?’
Grid immediately equipped the gloves and boots.
[Due to your class characteristics, you have equipped the Warm and Functional Giant Brown Bear Leather Gloves.]

“Rare rating is 10% and epic rating is 15%…”
Grid muttered when an unexpected notification window popped up.
[You have equipped the ‘Giant Brown Bear Leather Set,’ giving a bonus of 60 defense and 30% cold resistance.]
“Eh? Khan, are these set items?”
Khan laughed. “It isn’t classified as a set item when I make it. But it is classified as a set item when you make it. Isn’t it because you designed the balance of items perfectly?”
“… I just made it according to the production method.”
This was the moment when the power of Pagma’s Descendant was exerted. Grid was happy. The value of set items was far higher than normal items.
“Set items…! This is another means of making money. Okay, shall I go now?”
Grid’s body was covered with reddish-brown fur as he headed for the snowy north.
At this time, he still didn’t know. The frostlight orcs were much stronger than he thought. In addition, the probability that the frostlight orcs would drop the sylphid scales was only around 1%!

Chapter 69
The northern snowfields were very cold. A person who didn’t wear winter clothing would get the flu in a matter of minutes and eventually become a frozen statue. However, Grid’s current cold resistance was 60% after equipping the Giant Brown Bear Leather set.
“Hahaha! Cool!”
In the midst of a raging snowstorm, Grid was like a man standing in front of an air conditioner in summer. The effect of the Giant Brown Bear Leather set was great.
“I see it.”
After crossing the snowstorm, Grid found the village of the frostlight orcs and equipped the Ideal Dagger.

“Orcs, this weapon is enough to take care of you.” Grid thought it was easy, so he confidently marched towards the frostlight orc village.
“Come on orcs! Give me the sylphid scales! Otherwise, there will be a bloody feast here!” Grid screamed in a loud voice, like he was in a cartoon.
The orcs on the watchtower were dismayed as they noticed him.
“Kuwik, kuweek? (What, who is that human in leather?)”
“Weukikukkikuok. Kururukuweeek. (Maybe he’s a crazy human. He dares enter our village with no fear.)”
“Ururukak! Kiukekik! (There’s no time to converse! Get rid of him quickly!)”
The two watchtowers built at the entrance of the village! The sentry orcs were armed with bows and pulled them in Grid’s direction without any warning.
Swaeek!
“Huh?”
Grid heard a sharp sound from the watchtower and a small light flashed. He was horrified to see they were arrows.
“Hiik! A-Arrow? Quick Movements!”
[Quick Movements has been activated. Your agility and evasion rate will increase significantly for 1 minute.]
Puuok!
Grid reflexively used the skill and could barely avoid the arrows. He felt an eerie feeling as arrows struck where he had been standing.
“Orcs can use bows?”
Orcs also had intelligence. They had their own language and lived in villages. But they had no dexterity. They only had three fingers in the first place,
so it was said that they couldn’t handle delicate weapons like a bow.
But the frostlight orcs were using bows.
“The orcs are firing from 10 meters away, yet they are so accurate?”
Grid looked at the watchtower and recalled Khan’s advice.
‘The frostlight orcs are monsters inhabiting the snowy north. They have blue skin, unlike the regular orcs with green skin, more intelligence, and are 1.5 times greater in size. They are extremely strong against the cold, but their weakness is fire.’
‘Hey Grid, stay alert. As I mentioned, the frostlight orcs are different from common orcs. They are very powerful. If you don’t aim at their weakness well, you won’t be able to injure them.’
Grid had an ominous feeling. “Should I have listened? No, no. Even if they can use bows, orcs are still orcs. It will be okay.”
As Grid tried to soothe his anxiety, one orc descended from a watchtower.
“Kuk, kueeek! Kugura!? (Hey, leather covered human! Why are you here!?)”
The blue-skinned orc, that was over 2m tall, shouted at him. Grid couldn’t understand the language of orcs, but he had a rough grasp of the meaning.
“Stop talking and give me the sylphid scales.”
It was the scene of Grid coming to a peaceful village and threatening them for their goods. The angry orc pulled back the bowstring again.
“Kuruk! Kueeeruruk! (Crazy! I will get rid of you!)”
Syuk!
The arrow pierced through the snowstorm. The ability to fire the bow quickly and accurately while ignoring the wind resistance was evidence of the orc’s arm strength and high archery level. Grid avoided the arrow thanks to Quick Movements and immediately counterattacked.
“Wind Blast!”
A sharp blade of wind hit the frostlight orc.
Hwiririk!
It was the skill that severely wounded armored NPC soldiers in one blow! It hit the chest of the frostlight orc and blue blood the same color of its skin emerged. But the cut wasn’t deep. This meant that the defense of the frostlight orcs was much higher than the soldiers.
“I don’t know what type of defense… How thick is its leather?”
The enraged orc shouted at the astonished Grid.
“Kuruk… kuweeek! (This bastard… it hurts!)”
