Gao Wu: Invincibility Begins with Basic Archery

Chapter 12: Maybe it's time to change the bow

Views:

After the lame man promised to let him rest for an extra hour, the short-haired young man came running over happily.

"Hello, Brother Fan."

His face was full of smiles, and he nodded and bowed, looking very flattering.

Chen Fan was a little embarrassed by the other party's enthusiasm. Besides, they were both about the same age, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Just call me Chen Fan. By the way, what's your name?"

"Wang Ping, the king who is called king, Ping of the plain."

Wang Ping chuckled.

"Stop giggling and get started."

The lame man said unhappily, "You saw what I did just now, just do as I say."

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"It's troublesome."

Chen Fan was grateful, after all, he was taking up other people's time and energy.

But if he doesn't do this, his proficiency in basic archery will be much slower. At this critical moment, every minute and every second is especially precious.

"I can only thank him after I master the basic archery skills and go out hunting for prey."

He said to himself secretly in his heart.

"It's all right."

Wang Ping chuckled and said, "Brother Fan, you are Uncle Guodong's son. If Uncle Guodong hadn't taken us in, we would have been killed by ferocious beasts outside. How could we have survived until now? This little favor is nothing, ahem..."

As if he noticed that he had been talking too much nonsense, he stopped talking in a hurry, picked up the target, and stood where the lame man had been. "Brother Fan, I'm going to start."

Chen Fan took a deep breath, nodded, and got into the state.

The two of them were unfamiliar with cooperation at the beginning, but it got much better later on, and their proficiency in basic archery steadily increased.

Almost an hour passed.

"Wang Ping, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the other party throwing the arrow at the target with great effort, Chen Fan slowly put down the hand holding the bow and arrow and expressed gratitude.

"Brother Fan, I'm really, sorry."

Wang Ping smiled bitterly. He really couldn't hold on any longer. His arms felt like they were filled with lead.

Seeing this, the lame man also prepared to take over the other. Although his arms had recovered a little, it was hard to say whether he could last for an hour.

"Let me do it."

At this moment, the young man who was sitting and resting stood up. He was tall, at least 1.8 meters, but very thin, like skin and bones.

Several people were stunned.

The lame man did the same. He looked at the tall young man and said, "Zhao Feng, your spear skills are the best among the others. Time and energy are limited, so you should continue to practice your spear skills."

Wang Ping was in tears. So, he was called here because his marksmanship was average

"Uncle Zhang, it's okay, just take a break."

Zhao Feng smiled, then looked at Chen Fan and said, "Wang Ping is right. It is because of Uncle Guodong that my mother and I can live here."

Upon hearing this, the lame man did not try to stop him and nodded slightly.

Just like that, another two or three hours passed.

During this period, in addition to the lame man, Wang Ping and Zhao Feng, there were also one or two young men who came forward to help.

On the one hand, it was to repay Chen Guodong for taking care of him for so long. On the other hand, they could also see that Chen Fan was really talented in archery.

The departure of the Wei brothers has greatly reduced the strength of the village. They need to train someone who can shoot arrows as soon as possible. As for people who can use guns, they really do not lack one or two more.

During this period, Chen Fan also summed up some rules.

When aiming at a moving target, the faster the target moves, the more proficiency will increase after being hit by the arrow, up to 3%. Of course, if it is too fast, he will not be able to hit it at all.

Similarly, if you shoot too slowly, it will be close to a fixed target, and the increase in proficiency after hitting the target will not be much.

"call out!"

The arrow cut through the air and hit again.

All of a sudden, Chen Fan felt a warm current surge up and spread throughout his body in an instant, and most of his previous fatigue disappeared.

"Is the basic archery skill upgraded?"

He was surprised, and at the same time, a strange feeling surged into his heart.

“Here it comes!”

The lame man shouted loudly and threw the target again.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes. This time, he felt that the target moving in a parabola not far away was like a slow motion shot in a movie, and its speed was more than twice slower.

"What's going on?"

Although he was confused, his hands did not move slowly, or rather, it was simply muscle memory. He pulled the bowstring to its full extent and shot the arrow.

“Boom!”

With a slight sound, the arrow hit the bull's eye.

"pretty!"

The arrow was so clean and sharp that even the lame man couldn't help but cheer.

Then he seemed to react, put away his smile, and snorted coldly: "Maybe you are lucky this time, a blind cat meets a dead mouse."

Chen Fan chuckled.

At this point, he had seen that the basic archery technique had indeed been upgraded, and moreover, the fourth feature had been unlocked.

Level: 3 (0/4)

Physical fitness: 12.78

Strength: 11.57

Basic Archery: lv3 (1%), Features: Physical Strength 3, Arm Strength 3, Slow Shot 3, Horse Archery 1

Horse Archery: For each level up, the accuracy rate when aiming at a moving target increases by 30%.

“No wonder.”

He suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that the target fell to the ground much more slowly, it turned out to be due to this characteristic of horse archery!

Not only that, the first three characteristics, as he expected, have all reached level three, especially the slow-fire characteristic, which has a hit rate of 90% when aiming at motionless objects, close to 100%.

"This strength should be enough to support me to go out hunting, right?"

He thought to himself, indeed, if the basic archery skill can be improved to level 5, the horse archery feature can reach level 3, and the hit rate will be 90%, which will give the best chance.

But he also noticed that although the arrow just now hit the center of the bull's eye, it only increased his proficiency by 1%. He had to hit the target a hundred times while moving to upgrade to level 4. The difficulty from level 4 to level 5 would be even greater, and it would take at least two days.

There’s not that much time left!

The scene of three people dying in the village on the second day after he traveled through time is still vivid in his mind. If he delays for another day, perhaps one more person will die in the hunting team. Who knows, could it be his father

Besides, he also needed enough ferocious beast meat to convert it into potential points to strengthen his body.

Although it was risky, if you wanted to survive, you had to take risks. It was like the adult men in the village, whose physical fitness was not much better than his, but they still went out hunting every day, didn't they

Of course, if you can improve your basic archery skills from LV 3 to LV 4 during the afternoon to night, both your safety and your chances of capturing prey will be greatly improved.

"What are you thinking about, kid?"

At this moment, the lame man's unhappy voice sounded, "You are distracted at this time?"

"Uncle Zhang, I'm wondering if we should switch to a bow with greater lethality?"

Chen Fan grinned.
