I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 111 Deepening Research
At the intersection of multi-layered bookcases, a man sitting on a wooden wheelchair was slowly pushed forward by Ellu.

The man is thin, with silver hair hanging loosely. He wears a pair of round glasses with chipped lenses.

"Senior Dewen, long time no see."

Ni Shuang greeted.

"Is there any new progress regarding the skeleton dragon?"

Dewen raised his head and asked.

"There is."

"tell me the story."

"I found the person I was looking for."

"where?"

Dewen's eyes swept left and right.

"That's it, Li Ming."

Ni Shuang took a step back and introduced.

Li Ming had an "I'm not, I don't have" expression on his face.

But thinking that since the shield ax needs to be modified, I can only reluctantly accept it.

"Hello, Senior Dewen."

Dewen pushed up the frame and looked carefully, and seemed to notice Li Ming's presence.

"Kabra, is the way he wears his armor some kind of cutting-edge research result?"

A cat head poked out from behind the wheelchair. He looked at it for a moment and gave an answer: "It's not a cat. It seems to be a simple mix. The additional equipment is also very strange."

"You two, I still have research to do, so I won't send it away."

"Uh, you two, walk slowly, meow."

Elukabra ran out from behind the wheelchair, opened the door, and looked like she was asking to leave.

"I'm here to make in-depth modifications to the shield axe. Can you help me?"

Li Ming tried to say.

"You may be able to give me some advice on other weapons, but as a transforming weapon, the shield ax and slashing ax are too complex in structure and very difficult to develop. Moreover, relevant research has been stopped, and we are unable to provide help."

Kabra answered on his behalf.

"Is it possible that the shield ax hunting skill has broken through the limitations and just stayed at the conceptual stage?"

Li Ming thought of the worst outcome.

"Of course not. Longliyuan has been able to achieve it for a long time, but I am tired."

After a brief excitement, Dewen waved his hand and signaled Kabra to see off the guests.

The door was closed, and the door number with the words Airship R&D Department tilted downwards a little.

"How about going to the workshop to try your luck?"

Ni Shuang suggested.

"I'm a little reluctant. Is there no other way?"

Li Ming felt that Dewen should have something to do, but he was just too scrupulous to tell him.

Ni Shuang's expression changed several times, and he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there is another trick that will definitely impress De Wen."

"Trick? Use it quickly."

"But."

"There's nothing to worry about. If anything goes wrong, I'll be responsible for it."

Seeing that Li Ming was so determined, Ni Shuang knocked on the door again.

"Please come in. Why is it you again?"

Dewen helplessly held his forehead.

"Li Ming said he wanted to hunt the Sky Comet Dragon!"

Ni Shuangji's powerful shout echoed in the room.

Dewen's face flashed with horror, and he asked uncertainly: "What did Li Ming want?"

"Li Ming said! We want to hunt! Sky Comet Dragon!"

Ni Shuang raised his voice again.

At the entrances of other departments on the third floor of the headquarters, people kept looking around.

Is this the trick you said?
The corners of Li Ming's mouth twitched.

"Haha, I haven't heard such inspiring words for a long time."

Dewen smiled bitterly.

"But how can a hunter who doesn't even have enough armor hunt the Sky Comet Dragon?"

It makes sense, people who have faced Tian Huilong head-on are really different.

Li Ming gave approval in his heart.

"This is my observation record, as well as the hunting log of the ruthless team."

Ni Shuang said and handed over two pamphlets.

Kabra opened the curtains, revealing the papyrus pages scattered all over the room.

Dewen looked through it carefully, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

The two-man team worked their way up to four stars without ever missing a beat.

Li Ming possesses power that even the female fire dragon cannot shake.

The top shield injection can absorb energy to the extent that the shield ax can be overloaded with energy.

Amazing appetite and helpful.

Dewen raised his eyes, and Li Ming, who was now in the sunlight, was radiating light all over his body.

"At the end of the observation record, it is written that the attribute injection energy and impact injection energy have all overflowed. Is this why you are here?"

Dewen started asking.

"Yes."

"Li Ming, do you really want to hunt the Sky Comet Dragon?"

"Uh yes."

"Why? Both the Ryūliyuan and the Hunter Guild have given up on the crusade against the Sky Comet Dragon. Moreover, due to the exhaustion of the Hexing Stone mineral veins, the Sky Comet Dragon has frequently appeared on the ground in recent years to fight other ancient dragons. , thereby absorbing the dragon attribute energy, not only the combat power is improved, but the temperament becomes more and more violent, your thoughts are no different from sending death."

"This is to make up for the regret. The world in my eyes should not be like this, and I also want to ride an airship and fly in the sky."

Li Ming expressed his thoughts.

"But you will most likely die."

"Not necessarily, I'm determined."

Dewen was silent for a long time and took a long breath.

"Kabra, find the modification design of the Shield Ax Hunting Skill."

"Okay meow."

"Are you willing to help?"

Li Ming's eyes lit up.

"Anyway, you have enough time to think about it, but there are some issues that I need to make clear first."

"Ok."

Li Ming listened carefully.

"The breakthrough of shield ax hunting skills was achieved by the creation of special energy bottles. The research and development was indeed completed at that time, but the research on the versatility of the creation materials was just started and was stopped."

Dewen saw that Li Ming didn't quite understand, so he continued to explain.

"When designing and modifying weapons, we will use the most top-notch materials to try them out. When all performance reaches the standard, we will try to replace them with next-level materials. On the premise of minimizing the loss of strength, we will improve the general-purpose materials that all workshops can create. Use sex.”

"Understood, it is to use the best materials for research and development, and then replace the materials to reduce the cost and difficulty of creation, but the intensity will be reduced."

Li Ming expressed his understanding.

"Yes, it is impossible to restart research and development now. Even if Longli Academy has a small amount of material reserves, they will not allocate them to me to make special energy bottles, so everything can only be done by yourself."

Li Ming suddenly understood what Dewen was worried about.

The shield ax's breakthrough limitations are stuck in its versatility due to its research and development progress.

At present, if we want to realize it, there is only one way to build it regardless of the cost.

Although its strength will be higher than the general-purpose version, if the user is not a top hunter, there is no need to waste it.

After all, conventional standard manufacturing can already meet the needs of use.

"What materials are needed?"

"The four best materials are the flame jade for killing the dragon, the water jade for the fox dragon, the ice jade for the giant beast, and the thunder jade for the electric dragon."

Isn’t this the fate of the Four Heavenly Kings?Li Ming's eyes widened.

"It's a bit difficult, but the super energy bottle made from these four materials is currently the best. Of course, if you really can't get it, other materials from the Four Heavenly Kings can also make do."

Five-star monster material, can we just make do with it?
Li Ming could not imagine how much rare materials Longli Institute had spent in order to develop a super energy bottle that broke through the restrictions.

"So you regret it?"

"No, it's just that the investment in R&D was a bit unexpected."

"At the beginning of our research and development, we were not aiming to solve the spillover of attributes and energy, so there is nothing surprising."

Dewen sighed.

"why?"

"It is to make the attributes and energy overflow more thoroughly."

"You're talking about a focused lightsaber?"

De Wen was startled, as if he didn't expect Li Ming to know about the existence of the energy-gathering lightsaber.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "It's a focused lightsaber, a blade made entirely of attributes and energy."

At this time, Kabra handed over a stack of yellowed manuscripts.

"Is that really possible?"

Looking through the manuscript, he took out one, pointed to the energy-charging sword in the picture and said: "When the shield embedded in the sword body slides to a lower position, it will fit and get stuck. At this time, the energy bottle docks with the interface. It will be in a semi-open state and release energy to the outside world. The energy, electricity, light and steam will be accumulated and erupted on the shield surface. When waiting for the slash, it will be released to the outside world together. This is the normal principle of the attribute liberation slash."

Dewen changed a design document.

The shields and axes above are in a state of being fitted together.

But Li Ming saw something was wrong at a glance. The shield surface was connected too low to the energy-charging sword.

When slashing in this form, the shield may not have time to slide to the tip of the sword and transform into an ax blade for slashing.

"Later, during a research and transformation, the fitting parts failed, the shield was stuck in the final position, the energy bottle interface was fully opened, and the accumulated energy was released instantly. After the hunter responsible for the test swung it out, this scene appeared."

Dewen said, changing another design document.

The fitted shield surface did not slide forward with the swing, but was stuck on the hilt of the charged sword.

The shield blade was expanded to the extreme, like a flower blooming.

The energy overflowing from the shield enveloped the charged sword body and expanded outward to form a thick sword-shaped energy flow.

"From now on, we learned that when the shield ax is engaged in the final position and the energy bottle is fully opened, the energy released by the swing will not overflow and leak out, but will widen and extend outward along the energy-charging sword."

"Amazing."

Li Ming praised.

"The actual results measured on site were not so shocking. This was based on the theory. Later, in order to realize it, we found that the energy stored in the energy bottle was not enough to support the use of the energy-gathering lightsaber, so we started research and development to break through the limitations. You will also know what happened next.”

After Dewen finished his introduction, he sorted out the manuscripts and put them on his knees.

Ryūryūin's Breakthrough Limitation was developed to realize the energy-gathering lightsaber.

Unexpectedly, I would be able to help a rising star hunter many years later.

Now that research and development has been stopped, it is naturally impossible for the energy-gathering lightsaber to go any further.

However, Li Ming also felt that the harvest was not small.

He understood the principles of both hunting techniques.

And one of them is possible as long as the materials are gathered together.

Another required end-position fitting involves weapon modification, which is somewhat difficult.

"Senior Dewen, can I borrow these design drawings?"

"I asked Kabra to make a copy."

"Thank you. Once the team has the materials, I will come find you."

"If you only want to implement a single attribute, just get a corresponding material."

Dewen reminded.

"it is good."

Not long after, Kabra handed the copied design draft to Li Ming, and the two left.

"All members of their team are four-star cats. Isn't it too early?"

Kabra hesitated to speak.

"It's getting late. Humanity urgently needs pioneers, otherwise it will be too late."

Dewen sighed.

"But, the dean and the others don't believe you, meow."

"They're just running away."

Dewen turned his head and looked at the paintings on the easel.

Under the sunlight, the few extra pink rodents around Tian Huilong's body looked particularly strange.

In the guild hall of Bernard Village, after ordering several barbecues, the team started planning for future hunting.

"Dragon Slayer is weak to water, so it's best to hunt the Bubble Fox Dragon first, and then make equipment to start hunting accordingly."

Li Ming expressed his opinion.

Although the current frog style and ring-head whip are also water-based, compared to the strength of the Bubble Dragon weapon, there is really a huge difference.

If you really want to face Zhanlong, it is really difficult to gain an advantage.

"Well, what about Bubble Fox Dragon?"

Ni Shuang was embarrassed.

"The Paohu dragon is weak to thunder, so it is naturally an electric dragon."

"What about the electric dragon?"

"The electric dragon is weak to ice and can hunt giant beasts."

"What about the giant beast?"

"The giant beast is weak to fire, so I can hunt and slay the dragon. Why has a closed loop been formed? It seems that I can only try to use the silver-haired witch to break the situation."

"That means we have to hunt the Bubble Dragon first, but how can we get the contract?"

Ni Shuang was a little confused.

"This requires long-term planning, but now we have a direction. All that remains is to work hard and strive to receive the five-star emergency contract as soon as possible."

Hearing what Li Ming said, Ni Shuang let out a sigh of relief.

Obviously the other party was not dazzled by the joy and had the intention to go hunting in the wild.

Currently, any star-rated team can successfully hunt five-star monsters.

You can submit an application for transportation at your own expense to the field investigator without a contract.

As long as you don't transport and sell it privately, it won't be considered poaching.

However, since there is no contract reward, the guild's share will be collected as usual, and the income can be said to be quite low.

The guild does not recommend doing this, and the five-star hunter team is not willing to take risks.

However, some four-star teams eager to hunt five-star monsters will make some extraordinary moves.

"As for the hunting of the Sky Comet Dragon, you don't need to take it to heart. If Dewen needs to be held accountable in the future, I will be responsible for it."

Ni Shuang said frankly.

Obviously Dewen's assistance is not without preconditions.

Ni Shuang felt that the pressure brought by Skeleton Dragon was outrageous enough, and he didn't want Li Ming to bear any more.

"Actually, Dewen didn't put any pressure on me. It felt more like asking me for help to complete the unfinished research that year."

Li Ming expressed his feelings.

"why?"

Ni Shuang was a little surprised.

"He is probably the person who knows best how terrifying the current Sky Comet Dragon is. It is impossible for such a person to make a hunting agreement with a four-star hunter."

Li Ming speculated.

"That means."

"He simply wants to help the team and see that the research results he has done together with everyone can be truly applied to hunting."

"So that's the case. But before in Longliyuan, everyone always thought that he was paranoid and did things too extreme."

Ni Shuang was stunned.

"Perhaps that was an inherent impression, or perhaps he had a glimpse of some possible ecological evolutions with his profound accumulation of ecological knowledge, and had to make extreme choices at certain key nodes."

"Like?"

"For example, if the Celestial Comet dragon hunt is successful, the body can be used for scientific research, airships and airways can be vigorously developed, and many things from now on may have different results."
