The master ignored Gordon's act of being cheap and obedient.

He gasped a few times and continued, "The massive use of Celestial Comet Dragon materials and the replacement of machinery with biological structures have raised the cost of this great sword to an extent that it is almost impossible to replicate.

In fact, this is completely contrary to the original intention of designing the jet greatsword at that time. ”

Gordon, who got a bargain, was too embarrassed to answer.

Originally, the core concept of the master craftsman to design the jet sword was to use a fully mechanized structure, reduce the material requirements, and have reproducibility.

In other words, he hopes to make a three-star, four-star, or even lower-level greatsword that can gather the materials, facilitate mass production, and can be strengthened all the way to the highest level, and the power exceeds the conventional standard.

For example, like a blasting knife, the number of users can be hundreds or thousands.

Instead of this, it is implanted with the ancient dragon energy core, and ordinary hunters can't even touch the "legendary" weapon.

After a moment of silence, the master craftsman sighed with a complicated expression, "The chief engineer and I took this road crookedly, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was that guy who broke the road back." ”

"That guy?"

Gordon recalled that the master had just mentioned that the final shape of the jet greatsword was based on the opinion of "another person".

He thought he was referring to the great craftsman of the Dragon Calendar Academy, or some engineering scholar.

Now, it doesn't seem that simple.

"Hmm."

The master craftsman's mood was obviously much lower, and he hesitated for a moment, but finally took something out of the drawer.

It was a half-burnt notebook.

"It's."

"Well, it's a relic of the Black Hawk." The master paused for a few seconds, "Hilda found it next to Black Hawk's corpse and brought it back, ahem.

The people in the dark night checked it and found nothing special, and after confirming that it was just some drawings, they handed it over to me for analysis. ”

Caressing the heavily carbonized leather cover, the master continued, "What is painted on it is the Black Hawk guy's opinion on the improvement of the jet greatsword.

He proposed the concept of using 'blasting', which uses short bursts of energy to increase the power of swinging the sword in an explosive way.

It was also inspired by these ideas, and with reference to the jet structure of the Dragon Wing, that we were able to truly finalize the 'Burst Trap [Silver Wing]".

The [Silver Wing] greatsword does not need to use the materials of the Heavenly Comet Dragon, as long as it finds some kind of material that is resistant to impact and explosion is strong enough, it can achieve small-scale mass production.

This is the real 'Jet Greatsword', not the 'Celestial Comet Dragon Jet Greatsword' that you can only get if you kill the Celestial Comet Dragon.

Even if the latter is stronger, it "patted the coke," it has a more important significance in the history of equipment development. ”

Gordon didn't answer.

He didn't want to judge Black Hawk as a person, but he also understood what the master meant.

The "Jet Greatsword", which has been fully strengthened with the Heavenly Comet Dragon material, belongs only to him, and the [Silver Wing] belongs to more Great Sword Envoys.

"I'll keep an eye on the new big sword, don't worry, is there anything else?" Putting away the drawings of the Black Hawk, the master was not very interested, but he still patiently asked Gordon.

Gordon, who was supposed to leave, hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question that had been bothering him for days.

"Master, what are the promotion rules for the upper hunters?"

The master craftsman was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect Gordon to ask this question, and Hayata, who was also curious, also pricked up his ears.

"I see, you mean that you are promoted to seven stars."

The master craftsman smiled slightly, "It's my negligence, in the past two years since you were promoted to the top position, you have spent most of your time in a small stronghold, and there are not many opportunities to communicate with other high-ranking hunters, so you will be confused."

In fact, it's not that complicated, the promotion rules of the upper hunter are not fundamentally different from the lower period, they are all about accumulating a sufficient number of tasks, and then getting the opportunity to apply for promotion.

The key lies in the leapfrog increase in the difficulty of the mission. ”

Seeing that Gordon and the two didn't understand, the master thought for a while and said, "There is no need to say much about the number of tasks, this time Gordon you were promoted to seven stars, and Anhill didn't, just because the number of tasks accumulated by Anhill is not enough."

The key lies in the second half.

Let me ask you, what are the monsters of the six-star danger level? Just to name a few. ”

"Uh, Concubine Spider, Skeleton Spider, Frozen Dragon, Black Horned Dragon, Black Boom Dragon"

"Well, most of them are subspecies of monsters that are already quite dangerous, right?"

"Really."

"What about the Seven Stars?" The master craftsman continued to ask.

Gordon thought for a moment, "Dinosaurus, golden lions, fire dragons, rare species of gold and silver fire?" ”

"Well, what about Eight Stars?"

"Uh" Gordon was stunned, what are the eight-star monsters?

The master craftsman didn't continue to sell Guan Zi, and said with a smile: "Most of the monsters that have been designated as eight-star dangerous are ancient dragons, steel dragons, Yanwang dragons, Xia dragons, and some extremely dangerous two monsters.

The difficulty of your mission to hunt the Heavenly Comet Dragon this time is also defined as eight stars, have you realized the strange place? ”

Without waiting for Gordon to answer, the master craftsman continued: "After entering the upper rank, the level of the hunter is not completely proportional to the danger of the corresponding star monster and the difficulty of the task, but rises in a very exaggerated steep curve.

It can be said that when a six-star hunter fights alone, he has a greater certainty of completing the six-star mission.

Seven-Star Hunters often have to work together in a team to complete the Seven-Star mission relatively safely.

And eight-star tasks, such as the hunting of the Heavenly Comet Dragon this time, are basically impossible for even experienced eight-star hunters to complete alone.

Taking Hilda as an example, letting her hunt the Heavenly Comet Dragon in its heyday alone is no different from directly sending her to death, and if I go to the Nine Star Hunter period, the result will not be too bad.

As for the nine-star mission, well, there is no need to understand it for the time being, and it is not possible to complete it alone anyway.

So in this case, how should the upper hunters be promoted to eight stars and nine stars? You can't take hunting ancient dragons alone as an assessment. ”

"Not really." Gordon scratched his chin.

He objectively judged his own strength, saying that there should be no problem with being a qualified seven-star hunter.

If he is allowed to hunt a seven-star dangerous monster alone, such as a dinosaur, about sixty percent of them are sure of successful hunting, three percent of them have a chance of failing to retreat, and one percent of them are directly eaten.

This "probability" is casually said and does not have a serious reference, but it is roughly like this.

In short, there is some certainty that you can try, but you can also try and die

The scarce number of high-ranking hunters is not used like this, if you really have to be assessed in this way, in a few years, the high-ranking hunters are afraid that they will have to die cleanly.

"Therefore, in addition to the investigation tasks that are difficult to define in difficulty, the hunting tasks above the six-star level are basically carried out by a team of multiple high-ranking hunters.

As a result, it becomes quite difficult to accurately divide the strength through the assessment task.

At the same time, it is common for high-ranking hunters to participate in tasks with higher star levels than levels, and when the two are combined, the promotion assessment can only be carried out in a more flexible way.

The first step is to complete a sufficient number of missions of the corresponding level or above to prove that you have enough experience.

The second step is to show strength 'higher than your own level' in a more difficult mission.

Hunters who meet these two points will be notified of their promotion.

Your promotion this time seems to be a bit sudden, but it is actually the most normal promotion step for high-ranking hunters.

So don't worry about anything, just accept the praise and praise with peace of mind. ”

Ps.Regarding the question of how to promote the upper hunter, here is a supplementary setting.

Very few people can face the ancient dragon alone, which is set at the beginning of the book (chapter 37, the eight-star hunter Xia Zuo goes alone to investigate the dragon, and almost returns from not poisoning Amos, so he questions President Minagarde's decision)

Also, the highest hunter level in this book is nine stars, and there is no special G rank, master level.

After all, it's not a cultivator or fantasy theme that can change the map, once a level system is opened, the forced qualities of these eight or nine-star hunters in front of them will be gone.

Master is a kind of honorific title, master craftsman, and people like Fuxian will be honored as "master".

As for the so-called nine-star mission, it may involve taboos
