Genius Regressor Makes Mythic Items

Naturally, to Shimun’s words.

“Why would that be?”

Makur tilted his head in confusion. It wasn’t surprising. Hadn’t he offered to provide everything for free, setting aside the dwarves’ usual policy of ‘reasonable transactions’?

How could this not be entirely beneficial to the benefactor?

But that doubt was short-lived.

“Could it be…”

Makur’s thoughts took a different turn. It wasn’t surprising.

“If, if it’s because our equipment is unsatisfactory…!”

If the quality of the prepared compensation didn’t meet expectations. Wouldn’t all the previous conversations make sense?

As shock and tears filled Makur’s wrinkled eyes.

“No, no! That’s not what I meant!”

Startled, Shimun swiftly reassured the elder and craftsman Makur.

“Then what is the reason?”

Makur asked, sighing in relief.

“Well, those people just now, while friendly with me, are not yet firmly allied with me.”

Explaining kindly, Shimun added this detail to clarify. Only then.

“Ah…! I see. So that’s how it is.”

Makur exhaled a small sigh. Proving he had not just aged physically but also in wisdom.

“So, all the while discussing with that gentleman Fabian, you’ve been passive…”

Quickly grasping the situation as an elder would, Makur spoke.

“Benefactor. To be clear. We came to this dimension solely for you. We did not come to form any relationships with others.”

He said firmly.

“You freed our kin from the torment of the dragonkin and protected the last of my bloodline. That was none other than you.”

With a face as if preparing for battle. His expression was not just firm but filled with seriousness.

“So if there’s anything that doesn’t benefit the benefactor. All dealings with them will be canceled.”

“No, you don’t have to go that far…”

Shimun smiled awkwardly, slightly troubled by Makur’s extreme reactions.

Of course, it wasn’t difficult to understand. The dwarves, after all, had been looking only at the goal of repaying Shimun. They had been attempting the endless Out Maker for just that purpose.

Even though Shimun had some amicable relations with the European Union. Since the dealings with them didn’t benefit Shimun in any way. From the dwarves’ perspective, it was a meaningless action.

However.

‘Of all places, the Out Maker’s location…’

The current Out Maker had manifested in the heart of the European Union. Wasn’t it Germany?

Having witnessed the devastation caused by power struggles over Out Maker in his past life.

“Let’s calm down first. Please listen to me. Although all Awakeners on present-day Earth are human, they are from different…”

Shimun began to patiently explain the current state and situation on Earth. Like the true leader of a tribe.

“Hmm, it’s similar to our situation among the dwarves. We too are the same race but divided into tribes…”

Makur quickly grasped the situation Shimun was explaining by comparing it to the current situation of the dwarves. After some time had passed. Understanding the situation on present-day Earth.

“I understand the situation. So, how should we proceed?”

Makur looked at Shimun with a serious expression.

“As you know, attempting the Out Maker consumes a considerable amount of resources.”

“Indeed.”

Shimun nodded in agreement.

‘Although I haven’t attempted the Out Maker myself, my brother Shihyuk told me about it.’

His brother Kim Shihyuk, a high-ranker in their past life. Though he had entered China as a refugee following the fall of South Korea. Thanks to his skills, which rivaled those of Spear King Zhang Liqiu.

His brother Kim Shihyuk had participated as a guard in several attempts by Continental to initiate the Out Maker. The reason was simple.

‘Because the Out Maker isn’t inherently safe.’

The current Out Maker is a prime example. Unlike an Outbreak, where one must fight monsters pouring out from the inside. The Out Maker could foster friendly relations with alien races depending on the approach taken by the dimension.

The Galaxy Arena originally created it for such dimensional exchanges. In anticipation of unforeseen circumstances, his brother had joined the Continental’s Out Maker guard.

‘Brother, I never knew Continental had so many resources.’

After finishing the Out Maker’s guard duty and returning.

‘I now understand why our country fell… Even if Yujeong hadn’t done what she did, our country would eventually have fallen due to this disparity in power…’

With an incredibly bitter face, he began to talk about the Out Maker. Thus, while he didn’t know the exact cost involved in the Out Maker.

‘One thing’s for sure, it doesn’t come cheap.’

It was clear that the cost was significant. Anyway.

“Though we were fortunate to meet the benefactor in this attempt, there’s no guarantee we can meet again next time.”

The dwarves had expended enormous resources with the sole purpose of repaying the benefactor. They had tried the Out Maker many times and now finally met Shimun.

“I apologize, benefactor, but as a leader of my tribe, continuing to attempt the Out Maker beyond this point is burdensome.”

Leading a group is not an easy task. Even more so when it involves an entire tribe.

As a leader. He had to consider the costs involved.

“Therefore, I’d like to repay the benefactor during this opportunity, as much as possible…”

Naturally, he wanted to seize this opportunity to complete their repayment to Shimun. Understanding the leader’s dilemma, Shimun replied.

“Of course. I don’t want to trouble the dwarves with things like this either. In the first place, my actions were not for…”

He was about to nod in agreement when.

“Uncle! What are you saying!”

An insistent voice interrupted. Having disassembled various devices.

“Uncle, are you trying to repay the one who saved our clan half-heartedly?”

Clang.

Marnel approached, pushing aside the components of the TV and other electronic devices.

“What do you take me for! I’m simply…”

“Simply a thankless dwarf, it seems!”

Was her comment a critical blow to her uncle?

“Hey, you bastard! We finally met the benefactor after countless attempts!”

Makur yelled, raising his voice.

“Do you know how many resources were expended over those countless attempts? It’s beyond calculation!”

“But we also made deals with other dimensions in between!”

“Thanks to that, we were able to attempt the Out Maker hundreds of times! Don’t you know that?”

“Oh my! Is our clan only capable of this much?”

“You reckless child! This is something only possible because we are dwarves! Even the dragonkin and giants find it challenging!!”

The two dwarves quickly ignited into a heated argument. Perhaps due to their respective statuses?

Heat surged inside the tent like a forge.

“Now, now, let’s calm down…”

Just as Shimun attempted to pacify the two dwarves.

Sing.

A clear and serene ringing sound echoed.

– I wondered why I suddenly felt dwarven energy. So, you’re meeting them in person?

A voice as beautiful and fresh as the ringing was heard.

‘Ernen?’

It was the voice of the High Elf, ernen. Shimun immediately bowed his head and looked down at his chest, where the recording was shimmering.

– Huhu, long time no see? But… it seems the atmosphere isn’t so great.

The World Tree’s spirit, residing within the Philosopher’s Stone, inquired.

‘Ah, the thing is…’

Shimun briefly explained the current situation.

Soon.

– Oh my? Why are you even worrying about that?

Ernen’s voice was puzzled.

Before Shimun could ask why.

– It’s not perfect yet, but if the dwarves attempt it, you can adjust the coordinates of the Out Maker, can’t you?

Ernen mentioned something completely unexpected.

‘Adjust the Out Maker’s coordinates… I can do that?’

– Yes, don’t you remember?

And followed by Ernen’s question.

‘Wait, now that you mention it…’

A memory flashed in Shimun’s mind.

“That’s right! Dimensional Guidance!”

Shimun unintentionally spoke out loud.

Naturally.

“Huh?”

“B-Benefactor?”

The two dwarves, who had already drawn their battle hammers, looked at Shimun with round eyes. But Shimun didn’t have time to look at them.

He recalled. The newly etched option in the title ‘Companion of the World Tree’. Slight dimensional guidance possible. After confirming the option of Dimensional Guidance.

He let out a small exclamation.

‘So that’s what this ability is!’

If not for the large-scale outbreak in Europe. He would have asked Ernen about this ability long ago.

Who knew it would be used like this?

‘With this…’

Shimun’s eyes sparkled with realization.

*

The top-rank players of Europe. High-ranking powerhouses filled a large circular conference room.

Among them.

“Shimun-nim, how did the talks go?”

Fabian, the vice-guildmaster of Germany’s strongest guild, waltenberg, asked cautiously.

“Yes, they have agreed to trade all the quantities we discussed earlier.”

Heat surged inside the tent like a forge.

“Now, now, let’s calm down…”

Just as Shimun attempted to pacify the two dwarves.

Sing.

A clear and serene ringing sound echoed. I wondered why I suddenly felt dwarven energy. So, you’re meeting them in person?

The top-rank players of Europe. High-ranking powerhouses filled a large circular conference room. Among them.

“Shimun-ssi, how did the talks go?”

Fabian, the vice-guildmaster of Germany’s strongest guild, waltenberg, asked cautiously.

“Yes, they have agreed to trade all the quantities we discussed earlier.”

Then.

“This spot should do. Place it here.”

“Yes, chief.”

Unlike usual. She even addressed him as ‘chief’.

Thud.

– Marnel placed the heavy metal chest down. As expected of the chief’s niece, distinguishing between public and private matters was clear for her.

Step.

Marnel took her place silently behind Makur.

Of course.

Wink.

She subtly sent a playful wink towards Shimun. Given that everyone present were high-ranked players. Most didn’t miss Marnel’s behavior.

“Hmm…”

“Of course.”

“They seem quite close.”

“I’m glad we arranged personal interaction time.”

The rankers immediately began to murmur among themselves. Fabian nodded with a satisfied expression.

“You must be the representative here. Fabian Wolff… is it?”

Makur said, looking at him.

“That’s correct.”

“Good. Here are some of the items you requested. Check them.”

He gestured towards the brought metal chest.

“Of course.”

Stepping forward, Fabian opened the large metal chest in one stride. As soon as the lid opened.

“Wow…”

“Oh!”

“Amazing!”

The representatives, watching intently from behind, expressed various exclamations. The reason was simple. The items densely packed under the large chest lid were extraordinary.

Naturally, the high-ranked players, familiar with high-grade items, exclaimed.

“Look at that polish…”

“That armor emits an unusual aura.”

“That sword looks like it’s at least SSS-Rank.”

Even without checking the information window. They could gauge the grade of the items filling the chest. Fabian, the only one actually checking the items, murmured.

“SS-Rank… this one is SS-Rank… this one’s SSS-Rank…”

In a dazed voice, he continued to mutter in awe. When Fabian’s hand reached towards the item at the bottom of the chest.

“As you can see, they’re all composed of items at least SS-Rank.”

Makur, who had been silent, spoke.

“Given our craftsmanship. I assure you these items have better options than those you obtain in the Arena.”

Still in awe. Fabian responded while still focused on the chest’s contents.

“Of course! Even this SS-Rank helmet is better than my current one!”

He nodded repeatedly.

“And as mentioned earlier, we will sell all of the thousand units. Of course, their grade will be at least SS.”

At Makur’s following words.

“There’s no need to be fixated on the quantity, chief Makur!”

Fabian sprang up from the chest’s side.

“Regardless of the amount! The European Union will purchase whatever quantity is available!”

“That’s right!”

“No matter the quantity, we will match it to the best of our abilities!”

Following him, the representative players also joined in vocally. Naturally so.

‘The initial price was only 60% of the market value. With such quality items!’

‘We must buy them even if it means taking out loans!’

‘I need to contact the guild, no, the government immediately!’

Before Shimun and the dwarves had their private time. The price the dwarves had called for their equipment was only about 60% of Earth’s market value. Frankly, even if they didn’t use those items and resold them in Earth’s market. They could secure at least a 40% profit.

Moreover, if those items boasted superior performance within the same grade.

‘At least double… maybe even a name-your-price situation!’

Since SS-Rank equipment was always in shortage for the top-rank players. It meant enormous profit potential in Earth’s market. Therefore, whether they intended to use the dwarf-made equipment or not. They had to buy as much as they could.

However.

“No, the quantity we will trade with you is the initially discussed thousand units. That’s final.”

Makur shook his head firmly.

“What, what?!”

“No!”

“What do you mean by that!”

The European representatives were stunned. Then.

“If it’s the trade price that’s unsatisfactory, as I mentioned, we can adjust it.”

“That’s right. Even we thought it was too cheap!”

The representatives, including Fabian, hastily added.

“No, it’s not about the price. We called the price ourselves, so there’s no dissatisfaction there.”

Makur shook his head.

“There’s not much time left until this Out Maker closes. Besides, our visit here was solely for a ‘personal acquaintance’.”

He continued calmly.

“In fact, this current trade is only happening because of a ‘request from that person’.”

“……”

“……”

A heavy silence filled the room. Those who were continuously communicating via cell phones also stared blankly at Makur. Their gaze soon. With creaky motions like broken machines.

“Ahem, this is quite unexpected.”

Was directed towards Shimun, the person implied by the words ‘personal acquaintance’ and ‘that person’s request’. Shimun wore a somewhat awkward smile.
