Chapter 11 Hitting a moving target
When it was almost nine o’clock in the morning, Chen Fan had a flash of inspiration. Not only that, a warm current flowed through his body. It wasn’t as intense as the one when his body was strengthened, but it also alleviated much of his previous fatigue.
He could feel that his physique and strength were stronger.
“Finally upgraded to level 2.”
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the skill column in his mind.
Realm: None
Level: 3 (0/4)
Physical: 11.78
Strength: 10.57
[Basic archery: lv2 (0%), characteristics: physical strength level 2, arm strength level 2, slow shooting level 2]
It was clear at a glance that the attributes of physical strength had increased a little.
Especially the physique attribute, which was almost 12.
The level 2 slow shooting characteristic also meant that his hit rate was as high as 60%.
“I wonder how much proficiency I can gain by shooting an arrow now?”
Thinking this, he couldn’t wait to draw the bow and set the arrow. This time, it was easier to pull the bowstring fully.
“Phew!”
The arrow cut through the air and hit the bullseye.
Very accurate.
“The improvement in basic archery at level 2 is indeed significant.” Chen Fan recalled that when he was shooting, he was fully focused. The key was that once he started to draw the bow, he would automatically enter this state.
The next moment, a wry smile appeared on his face.
[Basic archery lv2 (0.4%)…]
At level 1, an arrow that hit the bullseye could increase proficiency by about 1.2%. Now, it was only one-third of that.
“That is to say, if I want to raise basic archery to level 3, I need to hit the bullseye 250 times.”
“My physique and strength have improved now. I estimate that completing one archery percent in 2 minutes is not a big problem. That would be 30 times in an hour. 10 hours should be more than enough.”
He had a smile on his face, full of energy again.
Time passed bit by bit. At noon, Chen Fan went back to have lunch. The woman, feeling sorry for his hard work in practicing archery, added a few pieces of meat to his bowl.
The potential point also rose to 0.3. Although compared to the next level’s experience value of 4 points, it was less than one-tenth, Chen Fan was full of gratitude in his heart.
After lunch, he couldn’t wait to return to the open space in front of the warehouse to continue practicing archery.
It seemed that a few young people were touched and came over not long after, looking at Chen Fan with a trace of respect.
They didn’t quite believe what Zhang had said—that the young man practicing archery continued to practice here at night. But this morning, plus the whole day yesterday, they didn’t see Chen Fan call quits.
In addition, the Wei brothers had left. The village would become more and more difficult in the future.
An hour later, Zhang sat on the ground, massaging Chen Fan’s arm, and said in a complicated tone, “You boy, you really have some talent.”
He could see clearly that among Chen Fan’s ten arrows, at least six or seven could hit the bullseye. If he told this, no one would believe that this kid was a beginner.
Chen Fan chuckled.
It is undeniable that it is mainly due to the system, but he also worked very hard.
“But if you continue to practice like this, it may not be very effective.”
At this moment, Zhang changed the subject and said.
Chen Fan’s body shook, his pupils dilated unconsciously, and he hurriedly asked, “What do you mean?”
Zhang raised his head and glanced at him, “I saw that your archery hit rate is very high now, which is a good thing. But have you ever thought that these are immobile targets? Wild beasts are not stupid. Unless you don’t let them find out, otherwise, at their speed…”
He didn’t continue talking, but the meaning was self-evident.
Chen Fan’s mind trembled.
He kept staring at the proficiency progress bar, full of energy, but he was also stuck in it and didn’t consider thinking outside his own self made box.
“Uncle Zhang, do you want me to practice shooting at moving targets?”
“Exactly.”
Zhang showed a teachable expression, “Although my archery skills are commonplace, I can know the answer to this kind of thing with my ass. Your progress is amazing and worthy of praise, but it is not enough.”
“I see.”
Chen Fan took a deep breath and then asked, “How can I get moving targets?”
“…”
Zhang felt that he had dug a hole for himself. After two or three seconds of silence, he gave his answer, “Let me help you.”
After a while, several young people saw this scene.
Zhang stood aside and threw an archery target into the air, while Chen Fan aimed at the target in a parabolic motion in the air and shot an arrow.
Regrettably, it was missed.
“Don’t worry, take your time.”
He said, “This time, I’m going slower, concentrate!”
After speaking, he threw the target again.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, predicted the trajectory of the target, and shot another arrow.
“Phew!”
He hit the edge of the target. The target body shook, flew backwards, and finally landed on the ground.
Chen Fan let out a breath and impatiently looked at the attribute panel.
[Basic archery lv2 (25%)]
“!”
He was suddenly surprised and delighted. It was only 23% before, which meant that just this arrow directly increased the progress by 2%?
This was just hitting the edge.
If he could hit the bullseye, wouldn’t it be more than 4%? Even if it’s not the bullseye, the edge still gives 2% progress. The efficiency is five times that of shooting a fixed target, a big profit!
“What are you thinking? Focus and keep going!”
Zhang’s serious voice sounded.
“Yes, Uncle Zhang!”
Chen Fan glanced at him gratefully.
At this rate, let alone upgrading basic archery to lv3, with more effort, lv4 was also in sight!
To be fair, Uncle Zhang is really a good person.
An hour later, Uncle Zhang finally couldn’t hold on anymore. He felt that his right arm was heavy and he couldn’t lift it at all. He wanted to say take a rest, but after seeing Chen Fan’s fighting eyes, he changed his mind.
“Next, I will switch to my left hand. The strength may not be as well controlled as before. You should be mentally prepared.”
Chen Fan also woke up from the excitement of the soaring proficiency and hurriedly apologized, “Uncle Zhang, why don’t we take a rest first? After the rest is over, it won’t be too late to practice.”
“Continue as long as you are told, why is there so much nonsense?”
He frowned and said unhappily.
But in his heart, he thought, can I, a big man, still lose to you, a brat?
Just like that, throwing the target, shooting the arrow, throwing the target, shooting the arrow, for almost an hour, Zhang finally couldn’t hold on anymore.
“Uncle Zhang, let’s rest first.”
Chen Fan felt sorry and took the initiative to speak.
In about two hours, he hit the target about a dozen times. Although he didn’t hit the target once, the progress bar has already exceeded 50%.
Physical strength, in fact, did not consume much.
Zhang seemed to notice this and asked, “Can you still go on?”
“Uh…”
Chen Fan hesitated.
“You, come here!”
He looked not far away, looking up at a young man, “I think you have been resting for a while and have been staring at this place. Okay
, then I will give you a chance. Just come and replace me.”
The young man wanted to cry out in protest but the look in Zhang’s eyes were enough to convince him otherwise.
