“Ahem.”
A coughing sound brought Chen Fan back to reality. The lame man stared at Chen Fan and said in a nonchalant tone: "Boy, the bow in your hand is just the most basic one. If it is over 30 meters, it will not have much killing power against low-level beasts. Besides, you only pulled it once, so..."
He pointed outside and said, "Did you see those guys with spears?"
Chen Fan glanced outside and nodded.
"When they first came, they also started with bows and arrows. Some even used a second bow that weighed 60 kilograms, but so what? They couldn't keep going for two or three days."
As he spoke, he glanced at the bow in Chen Fan's hand and said, "Let me remind you that it's best to practice your spear skills like them, so that when you encounter ferocious beasts in the wild, you will be able to fight them."
"Uncle Zhang, thank you for your reminder, but I still want to give it a try."
Chen Fan looked at the progress bar behind the basic archery technique on the panel and felt an urge to complete it.
"what ever."
The lame man was no surprise.
Young boys are like this. They won't turn back until they hit the wall. When he pulls the bow a few more times and can't even lift his entire right arm, he will know how painful it is.
"Uncle Zhang, can I try those bows?" Chen Fan asked with a smile. He had a question, that is, the stronger the bow, the faster the progress of basic archery skills would be
"Okay."
The lame man said without hesitation: "The second bow weighs 60 jin, the third bow weighs 80 jin, the fourth bow weighs 100 jin, the fifth bow weighs 200 jin, and the sixth bow weighs 300 jin. Which one do you want to try?"
"Three, three hundred pounds?"
Chen Fan's eyes fell on the black longbow on the far right, which was almost as tall as him. It weighed three hundred pounds, which meant that in order to pull the bowstring, one would need at least three hundred pounds of strength in one arm
"Does this intimidate you?"
The lame man raised his lips, "Let alone a 300-jin bow, even if it's a 500-jin bow, there are people who can pull it open and shoot an armored rhinoceros with one arrow from a thousand meters away."
"Ironclad Rhino..."
Chen Fan muttered to himself. In his memory, this was the most top-level intermediate ferocious beast. It seemed to be wearing armor, and it was said that it could block small-caliber bullets.
"Uncle Zhang, is he an awakened one?" he asked subconsciously.
After all, in this world, the awakened ones are the ones standing at the top.
"no."
Unexpectedly, the lame man shook his head and said, "It's a warrior."
"Warrior?"
Chen Fan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"Only one in ten thousand can become an awakener. It is difficult for ordinary people to fight against ferocious beasts except with the help of thermal weapons. The good news is that with the changes in heaven and earth, the upper limit of human beings seems to have been broken."
The lame man muttered to himself, "These people have tempered their bodies and strengthened their muscles and bones, and they can possess strength beyond that of ordinary people. They are warriors. In Zhaojiabao, a few kilometers away from our village, there is a man who can pull this 300-jin war bow. He is a warrior."
Chen Fan took a deep breath and felt a door slowly opening in front of him. He asked excitedly, "Are there any warriors in our camp?"
"If it's like the one in Zhaojiabao, there are none. But there are still some who are not as good as him, who can pull a 100-jin hard bow, like the Wei brothers. Both of them can shoot arrows and are the main force of the hunting team of the village. But I'm afraid they won't stay here for long."
The lame man sighed, and his brows were filled with sorrow.
"So, how do warriors compare to awakened ones?"
Chen Fan continued to ask.
“Not even close.”
The lame man looked over. "An awakener who has just awakened his superpowers is easily killed by warriors, but once he is familiar with the use of superpowers, killing warriors is a piece of cake. For example, can the man from Zhaojiabao block bullets? But awakeners can. Some powerful awakeners are not even afraid of weapons of mass destruction. They can destroy a town with a wave of their hands. They are not on the same level at all."
Chen Fan opened his mouth slightly.
The awakened one is so terrifying
He had a vague feeling that his system might be related to martial arts. According to Uncle Zhang in front of him, taking the path of martial arts was the second best option for ordinary people, and the upper limit was very low.
Is this really the case
"Okay, why do you have so many questions?" The lame man looked at Chen Fan with dissatisfaction and threw the 60-jin bow on the wall over to him.
"Let's try it."
Chen Fan came to his senses, put down the 40-jin bow, and tried to pull the 60-jin hard bow. When he was halfway through, his face turned red and his right arm trembled rapidly. When he pulled most of it, he really had no strength left and had to give up.
This body is still a little weak
The lame man smiled meaningfully, "Do you want to try the 80-jin bow again?"
"No, thanks."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, his eyes falling on the remaining bows.
Just because he can't do it now doesn't mean he can't do it in the future. After a few days, when he has accumulated enough potential points, he will be able to pull this 60-jin bow. The same goes for the ones later.
Then the lame man asked him to take a pot of arrows and went out.
When he got to the open space at the door, he drew his bow and aimed at the target 20 meters away. He explained the general posture and then added: "When shooting arrows, you must remember the three levels. The front hand should have a level wrist, the back hand should have an level elbow, and the front and back hand wrists and elbows should be level with the shoulders. This is the most basic movement."
After saying that, with a "swoosh" sound, the arrow was nailed into the earth wall beside him.
The lame man looked at Chen Fan as if nothing had happened and said, "Just practice here today. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."
"Yes, Uncle Zhang."
Chen Fan looked at the arrows on the wall and nodded.
"Um."
The lame man turned around and his old face blushed. He was indeed not good at archery, otherwise, he would not be here to watch over the warehouse.
Chen Fan took the bow and arrow, stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, held the bow in his left hand and put the arrow in his right hand. It was probably his first time to practice archery in such a formal way, so he was a little nervous.
Take a deep breath.
Then he slowly pulled the bowstring and squinted one eye to ensure that it was aligned with the crosshairs and the aiming point on the target.
Gradually, the bowstring was pulled to its maximum, making a creaking sound. A huge pulling force was felt on his right shoulder. In a flash, the three fingers of his right hand that were holding the string opened quickly, and with a "swoosh", the arrow shot out at high speed.
As expected, off target.
Chen Fan had been mentally prepared for this. Perhaps only a genius could hit the bull's eye right after learning archery. He did have this bit of self-knowledge.
Besides, that's not what he actually cares about.
The next moment, his mind moved, and he saw the attribute panel appear in front of him. After seeing it clearly, a smile appeared on his face.
Basic Archery, LV0 (3%)
In other words, although the arrow just now missed, it increased the progress bar by 2%.
As long as he does it 49 more times, he can upgrade the level of basic archery to level one!
