Chapter 892 The Dilemma of Humanity
"so good"
Gail was holding a finished lamb rib bone in her mouth. She had finished her lunch and was still muttering, "I also want a serious and smooth title like Hayata."
“As for ‘Ms. Nirma’, just think about it as much as you want.” Anhil sneered.
“***I will die with you!”
Gordon Hayata and the others spent some effort to pull the two of them apart and push them back to their seats.
Fortunately, it is not uncommon for drunken people to get into fights in public taverns, and their location is relatively remote, so they did not attract too much attention.
At the table, Master Jiang, holding a cup of hot tea, looked at this scene with a smile and did not stop him.
Young people, it’s better to be more energetic.
“Master, why did the great elder summon us this afternoon?” Gordon put an arm on Ancier’s shoulder, suppressing him, and asked the master, “Isn’t it another urgent task?”
The master put down his tea cup and said, "No, with the great elder's impatience, if it is an urgent task, he will only summon you immediately instead of setting a time to summon you."
"Too."
"It should be a good thing to relax, cough cough." The master took a sip of hot tea to relieve his cough, and looked at Gale, "Gale should also have received the summons notice, right?"
"yes."
“That’s right, the reward for the defense of Styracosaurus should be a commendation meeting.”
Gordon nodded, it was pretty much what he thought.
“By the way, Gordon, did the Great Elder tell you anything before?” Master Shixiang narrowed his eyes and asked, “The Great Elder called me over yesterday and praised you and Julius.
He said that I have two good disciples and led two good teams, and then he laughed and let me go. "
Gordon probably guessed what the Great Elder was referring to. He crossed his arms and said, "Didn't the Great Elder intend to promote a few of us after the defense of Metabetate? We used the excuse that the interval between our last promotions was too short. Declined.
The great elder said at that time that he would promote us after we hunt the ancient dragon species next time.
Originally thought it would be a long time later, and then the Styracosaurus happened to attack."
“It’s true, cough cough.” Master Jiang’s expression was a little helpless, “Julius and Bi are in the same situation. After defeating the rusty steel dragon, the great elder also wanted to promote them.
From this point of view, summoning you this time is likely to be a large-scale collective promotion. "
Anhil was a little confused, "Master Campbell, why are the great elders so eager to promote us high-ranking hunters?
Is there any essential difference between us, seven stars or eight stars?
It’s just a name. It doesn’t mean that we will become stronger if we are promoted to eight stars.
In a real crisis, will seven-star hunters or eight-star hunters be recruited equally? "
“Anhil, you are right, cough, cough, cough.”
The master took a breath and continued: "In fact, many of the tasks you have performed in recent years have exceeded the difficulty standard of seven-star tasks. The Great Elder promoted you to eight-stars not out of considerations of 'convenience of use'"
“What’s that for?” Anhir asked.
The master was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he got up and took everyone to a quiet room on the second floor of the tavern. After closing the door, he said:
“With your hunter level, you will soon be exposed to this information, please keep it confidential.”
Hunters nodded one after another, and even Feng Ying and Gale became serious.
“In recent years, Gulong incidents have occurred frequently. The causes of each incident seem to be unrelated, but in terms of overall data.
Let’s put it this way, do you know how much the incidence rate of cologne-related incidents has increased in the past two years compared to ten years ago? "
"How many?"
The master raised three fingers.
“Thirty percent?” Anhir asked.
“Three times.”
ˆ “.”
You probably haven’t learned about the one- and two-star missions for a long time, right?
Ahem. In the past two years, due to the graduation and influx of a large number of novice hunters, today's low-star missions are not to mention backlogged, and may even be in short supply. "
Gordon scratched his chin. He really hadn't paid attention to this for a long time.
But he still remembered that when he first became a one-star hunter, the various collection tasks and the tasks of defeating small monsters were too many to handle.
The master craftsman continued: "After the bottom level has sufficient strength, or even excess, the guild begins to relax promotion restrictions step by step.
For example, you originally had to complete thirty one-star missions before you were eligible to take the initiative to receive the assessment mission for promotion to two stars. Now, the number has been reduced to twenty-five times, and in some local guilds it has been reduced to twenty times. "
Hayata's eyes widened, "In this case, wouldn't the casualty rate of the promotion mission increase a lot?"
“Yes, cough cough cough,” the master craftsman’s expression was slightly gloomy, “Although when promotion restrictions are being relaxed, guilds in various places have repeatedly emphasized that novice hunters are warned to do what they can.
However, the casualty rate of assessment tasks has increased significantly. "
Ancier looked serious, but he agreed with the guild's approach, "The guild will not force low-star hunters to be promoted. If you feel inadequate, no one will care about you if you do a hundred one-star tasks and then get promoted.
The guild hopes to improve the quantity and quality of the entire hunter group from the bottom up.
Young hunters who are motivated and talented will stand out at a faster speed.
If this momentum continues, in another five years or at most ten years, a large number of young high-level hunters will emerge, and the number of four-star and five-star elite hunters will also increase greatly.
Only in this way can we maintain our advantage in the next ‘competition of species’.
Otherwise, ancient dragons appear frequently and attack cities, but the number of hunters does not increase. Hunters sacrifice in large numbers, cities fall one by one, and the population base decreases, forming a vicious cycle. It is not impossible that human civilization will be destroyed. "
"Is this such an exaggeration?" Feng Ying stuttered, "There is also the Great Elder. Isn't the Great Elder super strong? Monsters like Styracosaurus can be chopped down with one knife. With him here, there will be no problem, right?"
The master craftsman shook his head, "Unless taboos are involved, the great elder will not take action, cough. He has already violated the 'not to interfere' agreement with the hero and the craftsman by using the sword this time.
That stubborn old man blamed himself very much. "
“But, why?” Feng Ying asked further.
Gordon interrupted her, "Parents have to do everything. Children cannot grow up. Although parents live long, they are already old and will pass away one day.
If children are protected too well and have no ability to protect themselves, they will not be able to survive in a future full of dangers. "
Feng Ying understood the meaning and closed her mouth.
“So, what does this have to do with the promotion of a high-level hunter?” Gale asked confused.
“As the leaders of the younger generation, we are the role models and goals for young hunters. Only when we stand high enough and perform dazzlingly enough can we be called role models.
Besides, why don’t we go up and stay where we are as goalkeepers? "Anhil, who had understood everything, said casually.
“It feels weird.” Hayata sighed softly.
As a "role model" who was once almost put on the wall, she is relatively repulsive to this kind of promotion with other purposes.
Knowing what Hayata was struggling with, Master patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. You have grown up now and can shoulder this honor and responsibility, ahem."
Speaking of this, Master Jiang glanced at Feng Ying and said with a smile: "Maybe your descendants will catch up soon?"
Hayata was startled. She thought of Feng Ying who had just come of age, Lie Yan in Yanhuo Village, Aiden in Pen, and Jean in Bokai Village.
There are also "newcomers" all over the world who are working hard to climb up.
She was also relieved, "Yes, if we don't speed up our pace, we may be overtaken in a few years."
ˆPs.
Don’t think about the “darkness of the guild”. The hunter guild in this book is still very decent. This part of the description is just to rationalize the “quick promotion”.
In fact, the further into the later stage of writing, the more obvious this problem becomes. Are the protagonists promoted quickly? Of course it's so fast that it's a bit unreasonable, but
For example, you will understand this distress. One month after Luffy defeated Doflamingo with great difficulty, he defeated Kaido.
It seems that only half a year has passed in Tian Hui Long, but the chapters are almost 300. If we don’t fast forward the timeline, the curve of time and experience growth will be very sharp.
If you can pull up the timeline, the protagonists are not immortals after all. If you pull up the timeline frequently, they will suddenly become middle-aged.
In fact, the strength has reached the standard, and several unlocked monsters have been killed. If Gordon still insists on holding down the seven stars, everyone will probably feel uncomfortable.
This is the only way it feels more reasonable.
