âDoes this make sense?â
At the S.A Groupâs headquarters...
Perhaps this would eventually lead to voyeurism, but the executives who were watching Gridâs move had their attention gathered in one placeâthe one who would create a swordsmanship superior to the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship to cut down and kill the gods and dragons.
Sword Saint Bibanâs shocking remark caught their attention.
âI know that Morpheus made the most ideal swordsmanship by referring to and synthesizing sword techniques around the world... is it possible to create swordsmanship beyond the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship? Especially by a player.â
Kraugelâs actions after becoming the Sword Saint were lower than expected.
It was different from the period when he was a normal class and called the âsky above the sky.â Kraugel didnât show much activity, so the executives were very disappointed.
His obstinacy meant he refused to inherit the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship. They couldnât be optimistic about him when he lost the honor of the Sword Saint, who was known as the âstrongest combat class.â
Biban had expressed the executiveâs hearts when he spoke bitterly about Kraugel. Yet today, he discussed Kraugelâs potential.
He said that the reason Kraugel didnât learn the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship was to create a better swordsmanship.
Was it a feasible guess?
The executives were purely curious.
Chairman Lim Cheolho received their gazes and opened his mouth after a long silence, âMorpheus has the data of 289 types of swordsmanship that exists all over the world. The 2,570 swordsmanship related skills that Satisfy supports are all created based on that data and the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship is one of them.â
The most powerful and complete swordsmanship made by the supercomputer Morpheus analyzing, synthesizing, creating, and improving the hundreds of swordsmanship types.
Up to now, everyone, including Chairman Lim Cheolho, had called it the âultimate swordsmanshipâ and in fact, it was still the case.
However, Chairman Lim Cheolho was convinced at this moment.
Morpheus continued to evolve from the experiences of the two billion players and had to think of a swordsmanship beyond the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship.
The reason that the âpossibilityâ of a swordsmanship that went beyond the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship was planted through Bibanâs mouth was probably influenced by Morpheusâ evolution.
âAs you all know, the data is old. The more new data that is accumulated, the more likely it will be.â
âIt is natural that something beyond the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship will be born.â
âYes.
Considering that some of the two billion players quit for some unknown reason
or taking into account the operation of sword techniques not foreseen by Morpheusâ data, it is natural for Morpheus to come up with a better swordsmanship than the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship.â
Humans performed miracles from time to time.
Ordinary people like Grid, Kraugel, and Agnus, sometimes surpassed Morpheusâ predictions.
Even if it was just a single miracle caused by one in ten thousand people, the miracles would accumulate and change as the number of people playing Satisfy exceeded two billion.
âI donât think it will be strange if Kraugel acquires that new swordsmanship.â
Chairman Lim Cheolhoâs gaze was fixed to the center-left monitor.
It was a live broadcast of Kraugel struggling with the yangban he encountered while crossing the desert of Kaya.
Kraugelâs expression was tense because he underestimated himself since Yeum was the first yangban he met. He assumed the level of the yangbans to be the same as Yeum, so his defense was very tight. Even so, he never made the mistake of falling down in the sand.
Every time he blocked the attack of the yangban, he placed a lot of strength into his body, but his footwork was light. This allowed him to move freely across the desert sands.
A genius who adapted quickly to the environment in any situationâKraugelâs talent in combat was still standing out, and it was good enough to call him the best among all players.
Was it just out of simple stubbornness that such a genius turned away from the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship?
âMaybe he instinctively felt it.â
Did Kraugelâs subconscious peeked at the fact that the Matchless Heart Swordsmanship wasnât enough to be called the ultimate swordsmanship?
'No, isnât this too much of a leap?â
Chairman Lim Cheolho shook his head to deny his thoughts and laughed.
This type of confusion was something he felt about Grid during the time when Grid was rapidly developing.
In the video, Kraugelâs sword made the yangbanâs attack useless and it directly pierced the yangbanâs neck.
The ensuing Space Sword cut the desert in half.
The second one after Gridâit was the day when the next player to defeat a half-god alone was born.
After the struggle with Yeum, Kraugel wandered through Kaya for half a month and was steadily growing.
There were many chances for him in Kaya where few players had visited.
***
At Hayateâs library, located at the top of the Tower of Wisdom...
Grid sat face to face with Hayate.
Hayata poured the warm tea and handed it to Grid.
â10 days from now, the gourmet cycle will arrive.â
âGourmet cycle?â
âIt refers to the period when Gourmet Dragon Raiders will travel around the entire continent to enjoy food.â
âAre you saying the dragon will tour the entire continent?â
Gridâs face turned white as he recalled the dragonâs enormous body and fierce nature.
The dragonâs tour of the entire continent sounded like it would soon destroy the continent.
Hayate smiled at the nervous Grid.
âYou donât have to imagine a giant dragon coming down from the sky and destroying the city. Raiders will polymorph to a human during the gourmet cyrcle. I am told he reduces the size of his stomach to focus on the taste.â
âI see...â
Grid easily understood the concept of Polymorph.
The hatchling Nefelina, who stayed in the Overgeared Kingdom, was disguised as a normal human.
However, he wasnât relieved.
So what if the dragon looked like a human?
The dirty personality would still be the same.
âSo... what do I need to do during the gourmet cycle?â
âPlease introduce Raiders to some reputable restaurants.â
âYes, I kno...
Eh?
Huh??â
âThe gourmet cycle approaches every 100 years. It isnât strange for some of the restaurants that Raiders remembers to have disappeared or the taste changed. There can be trouble if Raiders eats bad food or becomes annoyed... I hope you can select some of the most popular restaurants in the world these days and guide Raiders to them.â
â......â
Guide a dragon? He had to go on a gourmet journey with a vicious dragon?
Gridâs head was blank from the bolt that came out of the blue.
It was said that the Pioneer and tower members had a mutually supportive relationship.
He mightâve been helped a lot by the association members so far, but he was reluctant to do this task and felt dissatisfied.
In the first place, wasnât the Pioneer in charge of the peace of the world and werenât the dragons supposed to be marked by the tower members?
Why did he have to guide a dragon...?
Hayate explained to the unconvinced Grid, âAs you know, the purpose of the Tower of Wisdom isnât to destroy dragons. It is to prevent them from causing incidents.â
It was impossible for the tower members to have the goal of wiping out the dragons. The real purpose of the tower wasnât to fight the dragon. It was to block the dragons from attacking.
âIn that sense, Raiders is a dragon that is easy to handle. There will be no accidents as long as you satisfy his appetite.
That is why our tower members have been helping Raiders with his gourmet tour up to now...â
Hayateâs expression darkened.
Grid could easily see the reason why.
âThe tower members arenât able to provide the proper guidance...â
The tower members were existences who had left the world.
Most of them only left the tower when they had a special mission, apart from Biban who habitually ran out of the tower.
What would they know about the worldâs most popular restaurants?
It wouldâve been very difficult to satisfy Raiders.
âThatâs right. On the other hand, you are the king of a nation and you must be aware of the circumstances of the world. It wonât be too difficult for you to find famous restaurants around the continent and there will be less restrictions on you when traveling. This is why I would like to ask you to guide Raiders.â
â
Um...
â
The circumstances were understandable, but he wasnât willing at all.
Visit restaurants across the continentâeven if he secured the coordinates of as many places as possible in advance and traveled by Teleport, it would take at least a fortnight.
He would have to be with a dragon for that long. He didnât like that he could die if he made a single mistake, as well as the fact that he wouldnât be able to level up during this fortnight.
âIâm really sorry... Iâm going to have to reject this mission.â
Grid considered it and opened his mouth, âI...â
[â Hidden Questâ Gourmet Cycle has occurred!]
[Gourmet Cycle]
[Difficulty: ???
Guide Gourmet Dragon Raiders to restaurants all over the continent.
In order to satisfy Raiders, you must visit at least 80 restaurants and hear that it is delicious at least 60 times.
Every time Raiders says âIâm happy,â you will receive a special gift from Raiders.
Quest Clear Conditions: Guide Raiders to at least 80 restaurants.
Quest Clear Rewards: Depends on Raidersâ satisfaction.
Quest Failure: Anger of the gourmet dragon.]
[Would you like to accept the quest?]
â...Yes, I will accept.â
âThank you.â
âIt is for world peace. How can I refuse?â
âIt is great. I also believe in you.â
What was a special gift from a dragon?
The excited Grid made an announcement in the guild chat window.
-
Recommend restaurants.
Then he sent a separate whisper to Lauel.
-
Talk to the local lords and tell them to hold events recommending restaurants.
-
Huh?
-
Right now.
-Yes...
I understand.
The next target of his whisper was Faker.
-
It is time to move the Eclipse assassins.
-
Give me any task.
-
Please arrange restaurants.
-
I understand.
âOkay.â
With this, he had finished the minimal preparations.
He would stop by the East Continent and ask the Cho King and Xing King for restaurant recommendations.
Grid rose from his seat and spoke to Hayate with a confident expression, âI will complete this gourmet tour mission perfectly. Please wait for the good news.â
âIndeed... you are truly reassuring as a legend, a transcendent, and the Hero King. Iâll tell you where Raidersâ lair is so go there in 10 days.â
âI understand.â
Gourmet Dragon Raidersâthe curse on Sticksâ heart might completely disappear if Grid could build up a good relationship with it. Grid was looking forward to it.
