Chapter 1546: Unprofessional, impure purpose!
Today's second update: Chapter 1546! 2/4!
...
Gan Jiang was helpless: "Master and I tried to change this equipment restriction, but we couldn't do it, so we had to keep it."
No wonder... Hermes said that if there was no such restriction, he could give 100 points, but with this restriction, he could only give 10 points.
If we look at it from a fair perspective, if Xu Kun is the referee, he would even want to give only one point to this Tianwen Sword!
There are really three thousand tribes, but I only give one!
Xu Kun couldn't help but be suspicious, could this be another calculation of his old...scheming Uncle Yang?
Uncle Yang: Shut up, don't get close, this sword has nothing to do with me!
What's the difference between this and the West Lake Vinegar Fish that even the people of Jiangnan don't want to eat?
It's just a decoration!
Seeing that it was not an equipment restriction specially set by Gan Jiang, and even he couldn't change it, the referee team had a heated discussion.
In terms of casting technology, this Tianwen sword is undoubtedly excellent. In the last session, except for the top four craftsmen including Hephaestus, the remaining six people could not cast equipment comparable to this sword!
But just like the artistic content of a movie is not the key to whether it can be a hit.
Even if the artistic content is as high as three or four floors, it is useless if the audience does not buy it!
Who can wear the Tianwen sword except the Sky Eye?
Isn't it a pure decoration?
This leads to the polarization of the Tianwen score!
Professional perspective: 99 points!
Business perspective: 1 point!
You can't take a middle value, right?
That half-step to the highest grade peak holy weapon is probably not as good as an ordinary high-level artifact sword!
The jury was arguing over this.
Even the chief referee Hermes had a headache. The referees each insisted on their own opinions, and it was difficult to rate Tianwen.
Just as Hermes was thinking, he noticed Aphrodite's calm back.
His eyes lit up, and he said to the judges: "Okay, stop arguing."
"We can't figure it out even after arguing for three days and three nights. Why don't we let others handle the rating of this sword?"
"Lord Hermes, who can be more professional than us?"
"That's right, according to me, this sword should be placed above the high-level artifacts, and the half-step supreme level should be at the bottom. Later, if someone can forge a half-step supreme grade peak artifact, then they will be ranked above this sword, and the rest will be behind this sword!"
This one-size-fits-all approach is not undesirable, and it does not favor either side.
But you are just making a mess. If it's so simple, why do you need these judges!
"Don't worry, our jury this time is not just our familiar faces. Since Venus has chosen to join our jury this time, should we listen to her opinions?"
The eyes of the judges lit up when they heard this, and there were many who had long admired Aphrodite.
They soon reached a consensus: "Mr. Hermes is right. We are all evaluating this sword from a professional perspective. We need some other people to comment. Please give some suggestions from Ms. Aphrodite so that we can make the final evaluation."
Under the cloak, Aphrodite tilted her head slightly and looked at the person who spoke and said, "Do you mean, I am not professional?"
Uh...
I wanted to flatter, but I didn't expect to hit the horse's hoof.
The man was immediately accused. Can you speak? If you can't speak, shut up!
If you annoy the goddess, sew your mouth shut!
Aphrodite did not pursue the matter, and said to everyone, "I am indeed not a professional, but since you are all professionals, from my point of view, to evaluate the quality of a piece of equipment, we must first start from the equipment itself."
"Rather than... commercial value!"
"If commercial value must be mixed in, should the value of favors be taken into account? You know, what is the Ten Thousand Races Casting Conference itself? I think professionals should know this better than me, right?"
The Ten Thousand Races Casting Conference is naturally a competition of casting techniques.
Hermes blinked and said, "Then according to your opinion, Venus, the evaluation of this sword should not be discounted?"
"I am just giving my suggestion, because according to all you said just now, if the evaluation of this sword is low, it is a blasphemy to the casting technology, and if it is high, it feels that the commercial value of the sword itself is not worthy of it. If you have to have the best of both worlds, you will not be able to take care of both sides."
"So, it is better to be pure without mixing other emotions."
"Whoever is more skilled, his work should naturally have a corresponding ranking. At least, the people behind him cannot cast such a sword. This is a skill. As for the commercial value, what does it have to do with us?"
That makes sense!
"Of course, if the casting skills are difficult to distinguish, this external factor can be used as a criterion to distinguish the quality of equipment, but so far, this sword is the best of all the works. Do you agree with me?"
"I agree! Lady Aphrodite is right, and we are just being stubborn!"
Whether Aphrodite is right or everyone gives face to her new referee, her words directly make everyone stand together.
"In that case, let's evaluate it according to the casting skills of this sword itself!"
"Venus, thank you for your help." Hermes smiled.
"No, since I'm a referee, I have to do what a referee should do." Aphrodite said lightly.
"Hehe, that being said, you still helped me, otherwise no one would agree on a result. When the casting conference is over, are you free? I got some good treasures recently, let me show you?"
"Okay, if you're not afraid of being broken by Hephaestus~" Aphrodite did not refuse.
Hermes trembled all over when he heard this, his buttocks clenched, and then he smiled awkwardly and said no more.
After the evaluation criteria were finalized, the Tianwen Sword became the first among all the finished products without exception!
Without Hermes to flatter her, Aphrodite turned her head. Just as she was considering secretly observing, she found that the other party's eyes had been on her.
The discussion of the jury was not private, but could be heard by the whole audience. This was to ensure the fairness of the evaluation. Therefore, when the jury held their own opinions and discussed the Heavenly Question, including Gan Jiang and Chi, including Xu Kun and other disciples of Ou Yezi and other human casters, all broke out in a cold sweat!
It was not until Aphrodite came forward and confirmed the unified judgment that these people felt relieved.
Xu Kun looked at Aphrodite with gratitude.
"Master, you did a great job. No wonder you came to be a judge. It turned out to be to help him..." The three goddesses of beauty whispered.
Under the cloak, Aphrodite's ugly little face blushed.
She asked the judges to be pure, but when she said that, her purpose was not pure.
According to her personality, she was not happy to be a judge, and she would not express her position on the issue of the Heavenly Question Sword.
The purpose of doing this was naturally to help Xu Kun a little.
After all, Gan Jiang was Xu Kun's senior brother!
