Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

Xuan Yuan calmed down.

Find yourself in a primitive jungle.

The only difference is that there are only various towering trees in this primitive jungle, as well as large or small arrow targets hanging in different parts of the trees.

There were many tables in front of Xuan Yuan, and quivers hung next to them. The quivers were all full of arrows.

Behind him is a towering tree hundreds of meters high and dozens of meters wide. There is a wooden door at the bottom of the tree, and inside is a wooden cabin.

Just finished observing the terrain.

Xuan Yuan heard a voice whose source he couldn't find, and started explaining to himself.

"You will spend thirty days in this ordeal."

"The time ratio here compared to the outside world is 10:1, and 10 days spent here is approximately equal to one day in the outside world."

"Every day, the cabin will show you the daily tasks that need to be completed that day. When you complete the daily tasks in advance, you can choose to press the blue button on the big tree behind you to skip the waiting time. Enter the daily tasks for the next day.”

"After completing 30 daily tasks, you will be deemed to have passed the Archer Guild's entrance test and can be transferred to a trainee archer."

"Besides that, there's a status restorer with a yellow button in the hut."

"When you feel tired, hungry, sleepy, or lacking energy, press the yellow button to instantly restore your physical condition and retain your exercise results."

"The yellow button can be used every hour."

"The movable area of ​​this forest is limited. When you encounter an air wall, it means you have reached the edge of the movable range. Please turn back immediately and don't waste time."

"There are multiple shooting platforms in the jungle. The arrows in each shooting platform will be automatically replenished after they are used up. The arrows fired will disappear after ten minutes."

"Please do not damage the shooting stand and quiver maliciously, otherwise you will have to compensate according to the price."

"You have only two choices if you want to get out of here."

"Either you complete 30 daily tasks and successfully change jobs, or you fail directly in any daily task, it will be deemed as a test failure and you will be sent away immediately."

"The green button in the lower right corner of each shooting platform will provide you with a projection analysis function that can help you correct your shooting movements. Please experience the specific functions by yourself."

“The functional descriptions of the buttons in different colors are engraved in your cabin, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting or remembering them incorrectly.”

"Finally, I wish you successfully pass the test and successfully change your job!"

After saying that, the voice disappeared completely.

First walk around this primitive jungle.

Xuan Yuan counted and saw a total of seven different shooting platforms.

The target position and distance in front of each shooting stand are completely different.

Went to the hut and took a look.

The hut was bare, not even a bed.

There is only a wooden table with a yellow button inlaid on it. There is a huge display screen on the wall of the wooden house, which shows:

【Day 1】

[Task of the day: Complete 1000 arrow shooting]

For 1,000 arrows, if you only focus on speed, it will only take about 4 hours to complete.

However, Xuan Yuan did not forget it.

This is a test set by the Archers Guild, and it is still the first day of the test.

Get out of the cabin.

To be honest, after arriving in this primitive jungle, Xuan Yuan always felt vaguely out of place.

At first, Xuan Yuan didn't react.

It didn't take long for him to realize that there was no "life" in this jungle, everything was lifeless.

There are no birds, no insects, no mosquitoes, no life of any kind here.

The only thing left is the silence of isolation.

Taking a deep breath, Xuan Yuan adjusted his state.

There is only one test for the Archers Guild. If you fail to pass it, you cannot take it again.

First find the nearest shooting stand. The target in front of the shooting stand is a ten-meter target.

Xuan Yuan tried to press the green button.

Next to the shooting stand, a three-dimensional muscle model with the same body shape as his own appeared.

This muscle model repeatedly repeated the standard shooting posture of standing sideways, drawing arrows, nocking the bow, and shooting. The action posture was extremely standard. Different from Xuanyuan's previous archery practice, the opponent did not use the bow return.

Xuan Yuan imitated the action of this model and shot an arrow. It was obvious that the action was very standard and his body felt much more comfortable when he shot the arrow.

After shooting an arrow, two muscle models that kept repeating the same movements appeared in front of Xuan Yuan.

It can be clearly seen.

Among them, there is a muscle model with very non-standard movements, which is the archery action I just performed. On this model, all the parts of the model that have non-standard movements are marked in white.

Xuan Yuan followed the model and tried to improve the quality of his last shooting action.

An arrow shot out.

Sure enough, the accuracy improved.

The previous arrow was still on the edge of the target, but this one finally hit the target.

Try each of the seven shooting stations one by one.

Xuan Yuan discovered that the training content of each shooting platform was different.

There are three shooting stations for training standing standard shooting, including left and right bow shooting.

It’s just that the shooting distance is different, one is 10 meters, one is 18 meters, and one is 30 meters.

Moving target shooting: Stand in front of the shooting stand, and the target 10 meters away will start to move irregularly.

Running shooting: The target will not move, but Xuanyuan needs to shoot at the fixed targets on the left and right sides while running.

Crouching shooting: Let Xuanyuan squat in a very awkward posture and try to shoot with the bow left and right.

The last shooting platform is a bit interesting.

Every time Xuanyuan stands on it, the field of vision becomes dark, leaving only the faint moonlight, and he needs to shoot a few fixed targets in the dark.

As soon as he leaves the shooting platform, it will be bright daytime again.

Having understood the mechanism, Xuanyuan directly started shooting training.

He did not choose to remove his equipment, because Xuanyuan knew that what he needed to practice was the bow skills that could be used in actual combat, not the bow skills that required taking off the equipment during combat.

He did not practice randomly.

Calm down and start practicing from the first shooting platform.

Not hurried or slow, try slowly one arrow at a time, gradually adjust the action until it reaches the standard level.

With pulling the bow again and again.

The arrows will automatically recover, and there is no need to pick them up.

The personal terminal cannot be turned on, it is just a black brick.

It will not get dark here.

Every time you feel hungry, sleepy, or tired, press a button to restore your physical condition, and even your equipment will be brand new.

No need to eat, no need to sleep, no need to bathe or defecate.

Gradually, Xuanyuan lost the concept of time.

It was silent here, no one could communicate with him, and no other sound could be heard except the sound of his own archery.

If it weren't for the fact that the tasks in the hut were updated regularly every day.

Each time, the task requirement of 100 arrows was increased just right, so that Xuanyuan could calculate the number of days that had passed.

I'm afraid Xuanyuan was about to fall into some kind of unconscious chaos.

Such a place is a huge mental torture for people.

It's equivalent to locking a person in a completely closed prison where he can't even go out.

Apart from archery, there is no entertainment.

There are no mobile phones, no computers, and no one to communicate with you.

People with weak minds will soon be troubled by loneliness and are extremely eager to get out of this environment.

However.

Even though Xuanyuan felt more and more irritable in his heart and his mood became negative and low.

He still didn't use the blue button on the tree to skip any day.

There is enough time, why not use it reasonably?

Every day, he spent 24 hours practicing archery.

Every day, he tried to endure the irritability and anxiety that rose inside.

Gradually, when the daily task became 2,000 arrows.

Xuanyuan suddenly had a desperate thought in his heart:

It's only been 10 days?

Why does it feel like a century has passed?

Then, he woke up suddenly.

Woke up from the depressed unconscious state.

Sitting on the ground, covering his head and letting out a sigh.

He found that in the past ten days.

He had unknowingly fallen into a vague dream, and it was a little difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Even in these ten days.

He didn't remember what he did specifically.

He only vaguely remembered completing the daily task, and then mechanically pulling the bow and shooting arrows.

Shaking his head, Xuanyuan chose to stop.

Throwing the bow aside, he lay directly on the ground and began to rest.

Although he felt a little tired, he did not press the yellow button to recover, because he would not be able to sleep after pressing it.

He has now reacted.

The test of the Archer Guild is indeed hidden.

Although the yellow button can instantly restore the physical state.

However, the mental state cannot be restored by pressing the button.

Ignoring mental fatigue will gradually lose the ability to be conscious in excitement and fall into an unconscious inertial reaction.

The brain is becoming more and more dull and less willing to think.

The more this happens, the more uncomfortable it is psychologically, and the more you like to press the yellow button.

The more you press the yellow button, the more you will feel mentally depressed after a short period of excitement, and gradually reduce the efficiency of practice and the quality of life without knowing it.

He took a look at the hut.

He found that he had completed the 2,000 archery shots today.

Then, he lay on the ground with peace of mind.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, and when I woke up again, I felt refreshed.

The whole person seemed to be renewed.

Xuanyuan realized that only sleep could restore his mental state.

There was no bed in the hut deliberately, just to mislead himself and make himself think that he didn't need to sleep.

Entering the hut, the daily task on the display screen was still 2000 arrows.

A few seconds later.

It just changed to 2100 arrows in front of Xuanyuan, indicating that a new day had begun.

After waking up, Xuanyuan had a clear mind.

He understood.

The yellow button is an addictive thing.

The more you press it, the more addicted you become. The more addicted you become, the more you lose control of yourself. The more you lose control of yourself, the more you fall into a state of confusion.

In this state, you don't even want to pay attention to the daily tasks.

After mechanically completing the daily tasks, you wait next to the yellow button, just wait for it to refresh and press it quickly.

The whole person has almost become a useless person.

If this continues, it will be a matter of time before you give up the daily tasks.

Take out the booklet from your pocket.

Reread the test requirements of the Archer Guild.

[Requirements: willpower, patience, self-control, psychological endurance]

Xuanyuan suddenly woke up.

Yellow button.

The corresponding test is - will.

There is no food, not even a toilet, and no way to shower. Everyone participating in the test must use the yellow button.

The yellow button refreshes once an hour, much more often than it really needs to.

It feels so good to have a new look.

But if it is not controlled, it will soon become hazy and lead to serious addiction.

Every time the state drops a little, I will be eager to press the yellow button to recover.

The yellow button is a necessity. You can't survive in this place without using it.

Reasonable arrangement of the frequency of use of the yellow button and self-restraint are the key!

Blue button.

The corresponding test is-patience.

There is no entertainment, no personal terminals, no place to do anything except archery and tree climbing.

If you don't have patience, you will just be eager to leave.

Once you press the blue button, the days will fly by.

Blindly increase the shooting speed.

But in fact, the archery skills have not improved at all.

Xuan Yuan does not think so naively.

The final test of the Archers Guild can be easily passed by shooting 4,000 arrows in one day.

Although 4,000 arrows a day is tiring, it is definitely not too difficult.

Otherwise, why would the Guild have seven different types of shooting bays?

when reaching a certain node.

The daily tasks will definitely change, and the assessment will definitely be related to the technology of the shooting platform.

A test of self-control and mental endurance.

It's painful enough to be locked up for a day in a place with no entertainment and no one to interact with.

What's more, what if it's closed for a whole month?

Moreover, he very viciously gave the other party the right to end it on his own initiative.

If you don’t have strong enough self-control, you really can’t bear it.

Figure this out.

Xuan Yuan began to readjust his daily schedule.

According to the seven shooting stations, different number of groups and times are set for each shooting station, and a reasonable rest time is set between each group.

Afterwards, in addition to normal hunger and recovery of muscle condition.

At other times, Xuanyuan will not use the yellow button too much.

After completing the set amount of training every day, Xuan Yuan will choose to sleep to recover.

After waking up, use the yellow button to update the muscle status to avoid affecting the training intensity the next day.

In addition, I also arranged meditation for myself.

Whenever he completes a series of training on the shooting platform, Xuan Yuan will cross his legs and meditate deeply for about half an hour to rest and calm down the mental agitation caused by no one to communicate with him.

In order to restrain the desire to use the yellow button, Xuan Yuan chose to use it at a fixed frequency instead of blindly refusing or indulging.

Gradually, Xuan Yuan became more and more calm.

Start putting more and more of your attention into each shot.

Start enjoying the physical sensation after each arrow is shot, making each arrow more comfortable, and no longer focus solely on improving your archery performance.

He often doesn't even use the green button on the shooting stand.

Just a rough guide to maintaining your posture.

Turn off the model character, focus entirely on the inside of the body, and try to explore the most comfortable archery posture for yourself, instead of copying the standard posture of the muscle model.

Through constant exploration and research, Xuanyuan gains more and more every day.

I also gradually entered a state of timeless concentration.

Time flows faster and faster.

He no longer felt that his days were like years; instead, he felt that each day was getting shorter and shorter.

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the 29th day.

Xuan Yuan wakes up from sleep.

Just when he subconsciously thought that today's task was to shoot 3,900 arrows.

Daily tasks have changed.

【Day 29】

[Task of the day: Each shooting station shoots 10 arrows according to the action requirements. It is required that no arrow misses the target. Each shooting station can only attempt three rounds of shooting. Failure at any shooting station will be regarded as a failure of the entire test. 】

Xuan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, as he had guessed before.

Today's task.

The most difficult thing is the 30-meter standing shooting.

There's also run-and-gun shooting, shooting at moving targets, and night shooting.

After this period of systematic training, Xuan Yuan's bow skills have undergone qualitative changes.

Not to mention how strong he is, but he is definitely not weak anymore.

A thirty-meter target, although not an arrow bullseye.

But Xuan Yuan easily hit the target with 10 arrows in his first attempt without missing the target.

Shoot the moving target and pass the level easily.

Running shooting is an item that Xuanyuan has been intentionally strengthening.

He simply used his fastest running speed and completed a gorgeous rapid fire in one go while running at high speed, hitting all 10 arrows.

Finally, there’s shooting in the dark.

Every time the target appeared in a different position, Xuan Yuan accidentally missed the target and shot an arrow.

Fortunately, it was successfully completed the second time.

After completing his daily tasks, he was not impetuous.

Continue to polish your skills with peace of mind, follow the previous daily schedule, and complete the plan for the last day step by step.

Finally, the time came to the last day.

Xuan Yuan woke up early and sat waiting for the last day's mission to be updated.

【Day 30】

[The mission of the day: hit the target 10,000 times, regardless of shooting method, and ensure that the movement does not distort more than 60%. 】

See this assignment.

He quickly wrote down the formula on the ground with his hands.

The fastest speed for shooting an arrow is 2 seconds, and 10,000 arrows takes at least 20,000 seconds.

It can be completed in about 6 hours.

But in fact, the muscles get sore very quickly.

The yellow button can only update the body status once an hour, plus the time wasted by the arrows that missed.

Calculated based on continuous shooting for an hour.

Choose the nearest 10-meter target, and it is ideal to have an average of about 15 arrows hit the target per minute.

The task requires 10,000 hits, not just 10,000 rapid shots.

Even so, after careful calculation, 24 hours is enough to hit 21,000 arrows.

From the perspective of time, 15 arrows hit the target per minute is enough, so there is no need to rush.

The next test for yourself is probably endurance and persistence.

Thinking of this.

Xuanyuan grabbed the longbow, ran to the shooting platform, grabbed a handful of arrows from the quiver, and turned on the rapid shooting mode.

Try to increase the shooting speed while increasing the hit rate as much as possible.

I even tried to shoot two arrows at the same time, but the hit rate was too low, so I had to give up reluctantly.

I kept shooting and adjusting the frequency, gritting my teeth and pulling the bow and shooting arrows, until my muscles were extremely sore and my hands were shaking and I could hardly pull the bow, then I ran back to press the yellow button.

After the status was updated, I immediately came back to continue shooting.

When I was exhausted and the yellow button was still cooling down, I took a break and continued to shoot with gritted teeth.

I didn't have time to count how many arrows I had shot.

Fortunately, every time I ran back to the cabin to update the status, I could see the progress bar at the bottom of the display.

One thousand times, two thousand times, five thousand times...

There was no time reference, and I didn't know if I had wasted the number of times the yellow button was updated.

I didn't know how much time was left.

I only knew that I was racing against time, and this process was a huge test of willpower.

I could only grit my teeth, endure the muscle pain, and continue to pull the bow and shoot arrows.

Until my fingers were covered with blood, I still insisted on pulling the bow.

Finally, I completed 10,000 hits.

Xuan Yuan suddenly fell to his knees, gasping for breath.

His hands were shaking like cramps, and he could hardly hold the bow. The blue bow was stained with his blood.

If it weren't for the yellow button that could heal the injury, I'm afraid even his fingers would have been torn off.

A long-lost voice came to my ears:

[Congratulations, apprentice adventurer Xuan Yuan]

[You have successfully passed the entrance examination of the Archer Guild]
