Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 12 Shooting Leaf Cup

three days later.

Ji Xinghuo wore the power shoes Zhong Ming gave him and slid quickly on the park trail.

The pulley set installed on the sole is driven by a micro-motor, and the maximum speed can reach 50 kilometers per hour. There is an intelligent control system inside the sole, which can not only maintain body balance at all times, but also can keenly sense the wearer's force, and assist in controlling speed and direction.

You can go when you want and stop when you want; the operation is simple and the movements are silky smooth.

Power shoes are the best choice for short distance travel!

In less than three minutes, Ji Xinghuo arrived at the Qishan Wutong Archery Hall.

The archery hall is particularly lively today, not only because it is the weekend, but also because of the "Leaf Shooting Cup" competition that will be held today.

Most of the people who come and go around carry bow bags, and gather together in twos and threes to chat.

Like Ji Xinghuo, they are all contestants.

"A sea of ​​clouds."

Ji Xinghuo paused, and the pulleys retracted into the soles of the shoes, turning into a pair of normal sneakers.

When he walked into the archery hall, he saw Lu Yunhai in the crowd. He was wearing clothes with the referee's logo today, which was very eye-catching.

Many students gathered around Lu Yunhai and asked him about the competition.

Lu Yunhai heard someone calling him, turned his head and saw Ji Xinghuo, walked over and asked, "How are you preparing?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded and gave him a confident smile.

In the past few days, he has deliberately increased his archery practice, especially for moving targets and random targets above fifty meters, so that he can be more confident.

"Have you understood the schedule?" Lu Yunhai confirmed it.

"of course."

Ji Xinghuo received the "Sheye Cup" competition procedure on the day of registration, and read it carefully twice at home.

The competition is divided into ten rounds in total, and the difficulty increases with each round.

The first three rounds are group matches, which are held at seven archery halls that jointly organize this competition. They are divided into groups. It takes one morning to determine the top 3000 with the best results from nearly 300 contestants and advance to the fourth place. It’s the knockout round of the sixth round.

In the knockout round in the afternoon, the players will gather at an archery venue on the outskirts of Chang'an to determine the top 32 in three rounds.

From the seventh round to the ninth round, half of the people will be eliminated in each round.

The last four remaining contestants enter the tenth round to compete for the final championship!

The whole schedule is only one day, very compact.

Lu Yunhai said a few words and walked away. As one of the referees, he had a heavy task today.

Ji Xinghuo found a corner in the archery gym and sat down, took out the compound bow and calibrated it again.The competition theme of the Shooting Leaf Cup is biased towards actual combat. Sighting equipment can be used, but the balance bar cannot be installed, and each shooting must be completed within a limited time. Overtime results are invalid.

He observed other players around him, more than 80% of them used compound bows like himself, but most of them were shooting bows in compound bows, not hunting bows.

After all, it is a competition, there is no requirement for lethality, and it is more advantageous to shoot the bow accurately.

The remaining 20% ​​of players have both traditional bows and barebows. There are dozens of bows of various models and shapes, and there are also many exotic bow types that are difficult to identify.

Traditional bows and barebows will test your archery skills more. Those who dare to use these two bows to compete will not be inferior in strength.

Several sought-after contestants use traditional bows.

They were surrounded by fans signing autographs.

However, Ji Xinghuo had just learned archery for two or three weeks. Except for Lu Yunhai, he didn't know anyone in this circle, and others didn't know him either.

"The game is ready to begin."

The radio in the archery hall sounded, and a female voice said, "All contestants, please go to the corresponding venue according to your own group."

There are more than 400 contestants at Qishan Wutong Archery Hall, divided into five groups, and each group is assigned an archery range.

Ji Xinghuo arrived on the fifth floor, and seventy or eighty players in the same group arrived one after another.

Several referees were maintaining order.

"The first round of shooting begins now." A referee shouted loudly: "Please call the players whose names and numbers are called to come forward, four at a time, and stand in the designated shooting area. Please do not make any noise to avoid affecting the field. players."

The place quickly quieted down.

The referee called out the names of the four players. They stood in a row, fifty meters in front of them was the target to be shot in the first round, and there was a timer beside each person.

"One minute to prepare."

Players must be ready to shoot within one minute. Once the time is up, they must shoot the first arrow within three seconds; then prepare for ten seconds and shoot the second arrow; each interval is ten seconds, and then You have to shoot within three seconds until you have shot ten arrows.

One minute soon came, and as the buzzer sounded, a three-second countdown began.

clap clap clap...

The bowstrings vibrated in unison, and the four contestants shot the first arrow almost simultaneously.

Three minutes later, the group completed ten arrow shots.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the target opposite. The first round was the lowest difficulty, but maybe he was too nervous to play first. Only one of the four contestants achieved a perfect score of ten rings, and the other three all scored between 90 rings and 97 rings. Between rings.

Judging from their annoyed expressions, it was obvious that they were not performing properly.

The referee counts the number of rounds and records the results.

"The second group of players enter the field."

A group of players completed the ten-arrow shooting. Ji Xinghuo found that most of the players scored around 95 points, and very few players could hit 100 points.

Almost all of these outstanding players are aliens, either rangers or stalkers like themselves.

After half an hour.

Ji Xinghuo heard his name and went on the stage with three other players.

All the contestants present focused their attention, but what they were watching was the female contestant next to Ji Xinghuo, who seemed to be quite famous and known to many people.

"One minute to prepare."

With a calm mind, Ji Xinghuo drew out his arrow and placed it on the "Yifeng", waiting for the preparation time to end.

beep!

When the buzzer sounded, he quickly shot the first arrow, pop!

Ten rings.

Out of the corner of his vision, he saw the target next to him, which was also the tenth ring, and he shot almost at the same time as himself.

Only then did Ji Xinghuo notice the person next to him, but he was not distracted by this and waited for ten seconds to pass before shooting the second arrow.

Ten rings.

Ten rings.

Ten rings...

Ji Xinghuo's hands are fast and steady, like mechanical hands that have been set up, every shooting action is exactly the same, without any deviation.

After ten arrows, he got the score of 100 rings.

When the referee confirmed the number of rings, there was a burst of admiration from the sidelines. Three of the four players in this group hit the full ring, and the remaining one was not bad, with a score of 99 rings.

Ji Xinghuo and the other two full-circle players looked at each other, nodded and left.

It took an hour for all players to complete the first round of shooting.

Then came the second round.

This round of shooting is a 80-meter fixed target, and the difficulty has increased a lot. Compared with the previous round, the players' scores have declined to varying degrees, with an average of around rings.

Of course, the aliens with superior archery skills still maintain a high level.

Ji Xinghuo's second round score was still 100.

In the third round, the distance of the target was extended to 50 meters, and the difficulty increased greatly. Many contestants missed the target, and most of them only got results below rings.

Ji Xinghuo still played full circle!

After three rounds of shooting, there are only a handful of players who can still get 100 rings, and they are basically strangers. Ji Xinghuo has also gained some attention because of this.

"Getting acquainted."

The female player in the same group came over and took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Fang Yinping, from Chang'an, intermediate ranger."

She is about thirty years old, has a heroic face, is about 1.65 meters tall, has a well-proportioned figure, wears a white archer uniform, and carries a bare bow behind her back, highlighting her capable temperament, and her whole body is full of a sense of vigor and flexibility. .

Ji Xinghuo shook hands with her and then let go, nodded and said, "Ji Xinghuo, junior ranger."

"Mr. Ji is very young!"

Fang Yinping had already sized him up several times, smiled, and asked, "Why haven't I heard of such a high level of archery before?"

She already regarded Ji Xinghuo as a strong opponent in this competition.

Ji Xinghuo replied truthfully: "I just learned archery not long ago, and this is my first time participating in a competition."

Fang Yinping froze for a moment, a look of displeasure flashed across his face, obviously disbelieving, thinking that Ji Xinghuo was fooling himself with nonsense.

"Then I wish Mr. Ji a good ranking." After saying these words, Fang Yinping turned around and left.

Ji Xinghuo looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

I'm telling the truth...

After the first three rounds, the players all knew whether they could advance.

Most of them came to join in the fun, to see high-level archers, and they didn't want to advance to the knockout round, so they left the archery gym after three rounds.

Ji Xinghuo waited at the door for half an hour. Lu Yunhai finally finished his work and came out, and the two of them went to have lunch together.

Lu Yunhai asked: "How are the results?"

Ji Xinghuo picked up the new mobile phone he had just used for a few days, and the screen lit up towards him, showing the results of the competition and the notification of advancing to the knockout round.

"I knew you were fine!"

in the afternoon.

After Ji Xinghuo went home and rested for an hour, he set off for Zhongnan Mountain in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, and arrived at an outdoor archery range built in a valley.

This venue is very large, and a tall screen is erected on the side of the entrance of the assembly point, playing the promotional video of "Sheye Cup".A rostrum is set up under the screen, and each shooting position in the venue is equipped with a floating camera, which broadcasts live in real time, making it very formal.

Three hundred contestants who advanced to the knockout rounds arrived one after another.

Two in the afternoon.

Seven curators of the archery gym boarded the rostrum, and five of them were strangers.

Ji Xinghuo noticed Yang Tianqing, the director of Qishan Wutong Archery Hall, at a glance. Lu Yunhai often mentioned him to him. Yang Tianqing is a super alien, his professional template is also a ranger, his archery skills are extremely good, and he is powerful. You can only see him if you sign up for his course.

Yang Tianqing was of medium stature, neither tall nor short, with empty hands, but anyone could tell that he was not an ordinary middle-aged man.

His gaze was extremely sharp, like a blade.

Many players in the audience knew Yang Tianqing and looked at him curiously, but did not dare to look at him.

Ji Xinghuo looked at it twice and then turned his head.

"Good afternoon, fellow archers!" Yang Tianqing stood on the stage and said a few words on behalf of the seven archery halls, encouraging the contestants to show their strength and strive for ranking. The rewards of this competition are very generous. The top eight will receive bonuses, and the champion can get 20!

This is a bit more than the previous years, and the players are not surprised. Many people come here just for the prize money.

"let's start."

Without further ado, Yang Tianqing immediately announced the fourth round of shooting, and the contestants entered the venue according to the new draw group.
