Chapter 12 Perhaps, it is time to change a bow
After Zhang had promised to let him rest for an extra hour later, the short-haired young man ran over eagerly.
“Hello, Brother Fan.”
He had a smile on his face, nodded and bowed, looking very obsequious.
Chen Fan was a little embarrassed by the other party’s enthusiasm, and since they were about the same age, he quickly waved his hands 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 Ping, the Ping of the plain.”
Wang Ping chuckled.
“Stop smirking, start now.”
Zhang said unhappily, “You saw what I did just now, just do it.”
“Yes, Uncle Zhang, don’t worry, everything is on me.”
“Thank you.”
Chen Fan said gratefully, after all, it took up other people’s time and energy.
But if he didn’t do this, his proficiency in basic archery would slow down a lot. At such a critical moment, every minute and every second is especially precious.
“I can only wait until I have mastered the basic archery skills and go out to hunt the prey, and then I will be grateful to him.”
He said to himself secretly in his heart.
“It’s okay, no problem.”
Wang Ping smiled and said, “Brother Fan, you are the son of Uncle Guodong. If Uncle Guodong hadn’t taken us in at the beginning, we would have been killed by ferocious beasts outside. How could we have survived to this day? This is a small matter. It’s nothing, cough cough…”
It seemed that he noticed that he was talking too much nonsense, so he hurriedly stopped, picked up the archery target, and stood where the crippled man was before, “Brother Fan, I’m about to start.”
Chen Fan took a deep breath, nodded, and entered the state.
The cooperation between the two was very unfamiliar at the beginning, but it became much better later on, and the proficiency of [Basic Archery] was steadily increasing.
Almost an hour passed.
“Wang Ping, thank you for your hard work.”
Chen Fan saw that the boy was throwing the target now with great effort, and slowly lowered his bow holding hand, thanking him.
“Brother Fan, I’m really sorry.”
Wang Ping smiled wryly, he couldn’t hold on any longer, his arms felt like they were filled with lead.
Seeing this, Zhang was also ready to take over. Although his arms had recovered a bit, it was hard to say whether he could hold on 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 tall, but very thin, like skin and bones.
Several people were startled.
The same was true for Uncle Zhang. He looked at the tall young man and said, “Zhao Feng, your skills is the most well-trained among the few. Time and energy are limited, so you should continue to practice.”
Wang Ping wanted to cry out but again, he couldn’t. So he was called here because he was below average?
“Uncle Zhang, it’s okay, just take a rest.”
Zhao Feng showed a smile, then looked at Chen Fan, and said, “Wang Ping is right, because of Uncle Guodong, my mother and I can live here.”
When Zhang heard the words, he didn’t stop him, and nodded slightly.
Just like that, another two or three hours passed.
During the period, apart from Zhang, Wang Ping, and Zhao Feng, there were also one or two young people who came over to help.
On the one hand, it was to repay Chen Guodong for taking care of them for so long. On the other hand, they could also see that Chen Fan was really talented in practicing arrows.
The departure of the Wei family brothers had greatly reduced the strength of the village. It is necessary to cultivate a person who can shoot arrows as soon as possible. As for people who used knives, there was really no shortage of one or two.
During this period, Chen Fan also summed up some rules.
It is also aiming at a moving target. The faster the target moves, the more proficiency it will increase after being hit by an arrow, which can reach 3%. Of course, if it is too fast, he will not be able to hit it at all.
In the same way, if it is too slow, it will be close to a fixed target, and the proficiency will not increase much after hitting it.
“Phew!”
The arrow cut through the air and hit again.
Suddenly, Chen Fan felt a warm current surge all over his body in an instant, and more than half of the previous fatigue disappeared.
“Is the basic archery upgraded?”
He was pleasantly surprised, and at the same time, a strange feeling came to his heart.
“Coming!”
Zhang gave a loud shout and threw the arrow target again.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes. This time, he saw that the archery target not far away was moving slowly in a parabola, just like the slow motion in a movie, the speed was more than twice as slow.
“What is going on?”
In his heart, he was puzzled, but the movements of his hands were not slow, or in other words, it was simply muscle memory, fully drawing the bowstring, and shooting the arrow.
“Boom!”
There was a soft sound, and the arrow hit the bull’s-eye impartially.
“Wow!”
Zhang couldn’t help applauding such a crisp arrow.
Afterwards, he seemed to come to his senses, put away his smile, and said with a cold snort, “Maybe you got lucky this time, a blind cat can also catch a mouse after many trials.”
Chen Fan chuckled.
At this time, he had seen that [Basic Archery] had indeed been upgraded, and the fourth feature had also been unlocked.
Level: 3 (0/4)
Physique: 12.78
Strength: 11.57
【Basic archery: lv3 (1%), characteristics: physical strength level 3, arm strength level 3, slow shooting level 3, Mount Shooting level 1】
【Mount Shooting: For each level up, when aiming at a moving target, the hit rate will increase by 30%】
“No wonder.”
He suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that the speed of the previous arrow target fell to the ground much slower, it turned out to be the credit of this Mount Shooting feature!
Not only that, the first three characteristics, as he expected, have all reached the third level, especially the slow shooting, aiming at immobile objects, the hit rate is as high as 90%, close to 100%.
“This strength should be enough for me to go hunting, right?”
He thought to himself, indeed, if the [Basic Archery] can be raised to lv6, the Mount Shooting would reach level 3, and the hit rate would be 90%, so his confidence would be the much more.
But he also noticed that even though the arrow just hit the bullseye, it only increased the proficiency by 1%. You have to hit the target a hundred times in a moving state to improve to lv4, and it will be more difficult from lv4 to lv5. Two days, at least two days.
Not so much time!
On the second day after traveling through time, the scene of three people dying in the village was still vivid in his mind. If this is delayed for another day, maybe one more person will die in the hunting team. Who knows, could it be his father?
Besides, he also needs enough beast meat to convert into potential points to strengthen his body.
Although it is risky, but if you want to live, how can you not take risks? Just like the adult men in the village, their physical fitness is not much better than him, so why don’t they go hunting every day?
Of course, if you he can improve his [Basic Archery] from LV3 to LV4 from afternoon to night, both his safety and grasp of catching prey will be greatly improved.
“What are you thinking, kid?”
At this moment, the displeased voice of
Zhang sounded, “At this moment, are you actually distracted?”
“Uncle Zhang, I was thinking, should I change to a more lethal bow?”
Chen Fan grinned.
