Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 7 Archery

This time out, Ji Xinghuo chose to walk.

Chang'an's urban planning is extremely good, and it completely separates people and vehicles. Most cars drive on elevated superconducting highways, and there are very few vehicles on the ground. The separately designed ground roads are also closed, occupying only a small area. area.

Therefore, the open space between the buildings has been transformed into a continuous urban park, with a large number of trees and flowers planted, with a high degree of greening and a beautiful environment.

However, Chang'an has too many people.

Qishan District is relatively remote, and it is after two o'clock in the afternoon, but Ji Xinghuo is walking on the trails in the park, but there are many pedestrians coming and going.

Some people were walking and chatting in a leisurely manner, while others were in a hurry, wearing power shoes and gliding by quickly.

There are also lovers sitting in the remote flowers and loving each other.

There are more people who travel alone like Ji Xinghuo. He has lived in this community for several years, and occasionally meets familiar people on the road, and he will nod to each other.

But that's it.

Ji Xinghuo didn't know them, and the other party didn't know Ji Xinghuo either, so they were both polite and alienated.

ten minutes later.

Ji Xinghuo came to a stadium that was more than ten stories high. The sign outside the wall read "Qishan Wutong Archery Hall".

"I have arrived."

He sent a message at the door.

Soon, a tall, thin, long-haired young man ran out of the archery hall and shouted in surprise: "Xinghuo! I thought you were joking with me, but here you are!"

"A sea of ​​clouds."

Ji Xinghuo also laughed, bumped fists with each other, and then hugged each other and let go.

Lu Yunhai was his classmate and one of his best friends in college. He met him almost every day before graduation.

On that graduation trip, Lu Yunhai took his girlfriend with him.

"Are you okay now?" Lu Yunhai asked with concern. He had heard Ji Xinghuo say before that he often had insomnia after returning from travel.

"It's been solved." Ji Xinghuo showed a somewhat mysterious smile, "My current condition couldn't be better."

"Oh?"

Lu Yunhai took a step back and observed carefully, at first he was a little suspicious, then he was startled, "You have become a stranger?"

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

"Damn it!" Lu Yunhai felt normal after being surprised, his face was full of envy, and he hammered Ji Xinghuo's shoulder hard, "I knew that you would definitely become a different person. You should have taken this step a few years ago, otherwise, that guy Wu Qifeng would not have been arrogant until graduation."

Wu Qifeng is also a classmate of the two. They are both friends and competitors.

It's just that Wu Qifeng's talent is very good. He successfully merged with different species in his first year of college. His career template is still relatively strong "Gravity Man", who stole the limelight in his class during college.

"Which career template did you choose?" Lu Yunhai asked curiously.

"Ranger."

"Why is it a Ranger?" Lu Yunhai froze for a moment.

He was very familiar with Ji Xinghuo. He had never heard Ji Xinghuo mention choosing a ranger before, which was far from what he expected.

"Isn't your goal 'titanium-cobalt dragonman'? Why did you give up?" Lu Yunhai couldn't help shaking his head, "It's not because your application for the over-limit ability was rejected, that would be a pity."

Titanium Cobalt Dragons are a profession unique to the Asia-Pacific Community. They are rare in number and have superior strength. They are one of the top professional templates in the world.

Any Titanium Cobalt Dragonite will at least be a super alien in the future.

Whether in terms of strength, potential, or power and status, the Titanium Cobalt Dragons are far superior to the Rangers. There is a huge difference between the two.

"I didn't apply, I just changed my plan." Ji Xinghuo didn't explain much.

Lu Yunhai saw that he didn't want to say more, and he didn't want to delve into the details, so he smiled and said, "Ranger is pretty good too. You don't have to worry about employment."

Only then did he realize it, with a look of surprise on his face, "No wonder you came to me!"

"You work in the archery hall. If I don't look for you, who can I look for?" Ji Xinghuo spread his hands.

The Ranger's main weapon is the bow.

In the early stages of a ranger, at least before being promoted to a super alien, 70% of a ranger's strength lies in bows and arrows. Archery must not only be mastered, but must also be practiced diligently.

Lu Yunhai has practiced bow and arrow since he was a child, and his archery skills are superb. He was the vice president of the archery club in college.

When he was a sophomore, Lu Yunhai tried to fuse different species to become a "stalker". This profession is very close to that of a ranger. It also uses bows and arrows as its main weapon and has a battle pet. It can be understood as a hunter.

Unfortunately, Lu Yunhai's integration failed.

However, Lu Yunhai did not give up. After he recovered, he started working part-time outside the school to save money to buy the second fusion of alien species. He has been working until now.

After graduation, Lu Yunhai officially became the coach of the archery gym.

Ji Xinghuo wanted to learn archery, so he immediately thought of a good friend, and it was very close to home, so of course he wanted to increase some achievements for Lu Yunhai.

When Lu Yunhai heard that he wanted to learn archery, he looked very proud.

"You didn't want to let you join the club before, but now you have to pay to learn archery from me. Do you regret it? Hehe..."

Ji Xinghuo suddenly lost his temper and said, "You want to give me a discount."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the best price." Lu Yunhai had enough of ridicule and felt comfortable, "Follow me."

He took Ji Xinghuo into the archery hall.

When I met colleagues and students along the way, many people would call Lu Yunhai "Coach Lu", which shows that he has a high status in the archery hall.

"You're doing well." Ji Xinghuo teased.

"Of course." Lu Yunhai boasted, "Although I'm not a stranger yet, I'm only as good as archery. I can be ranked among the top five in our gym, and I can even compete for the top three. Only the gym director can steadily suppress me. One end."

Ji Xinghuo was a little curious, "Is the curator really good?"

"Sure!" Lu Yunhai admired, "Our curator is a ranger just like you, but he is a super alien. There are countless people who want to learn archery from him, and many of them are aliens. The fee for a class is tens of thousands of yuan. Every time the class schedule is released, it is sold out."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

No matter what kind of job a super alien does, his income is ridiculously high.

According to the public data of the Ministry of Star Boundary, the number of super aliens in the Asia-Pacific Community exceeded 15 last year, and there are 56 billion people in the whole country. The low proportion of super aliens shows their rarity and value.

It is not difficult for any super alien to make money.

Lu Yunhai quickly registered Ji Xinghuo as a member, and said, "Different bow types have different courses and prices. Which one do you want to learn, traditional bow, barebow, or compound bow?"

"Compound bow."

Ji Xinghuo answered without thinking too much, and didn't even ask about the price difference.

Lu Yunhai nodded without surprise.

This is also the choice of most rangers. The reason is very simple. The compound bow has the greatest power, the fastest arrow speed, and the highest accuracy.

Although traditional bows and barebows have some advantages, and the compound bow itself also has shortcomings, it is difficult to make up for the huge power gap.

In fact, there is also a competitive recurve bow. Because there are too many accessories, it is inconvenient to carry, maintenance is troublesome, and it is too delicate and cumbersome to be practical in battle. Therefore, there are almost no options for rangers. Generally, only enthusiasts will use it in sports competitions, which is very small.

The barebow is a competitive recurve bow with most accessories removed.

Some traditional bows are recurve bows.

"There are 6000 lessons for the beginners of compound bow, one lesson per day, and the total fee is Asian dollars."

Lu Yunhai lowered his voice, "I'll give you a 30% discount."

"Okay, thank you."

Ji Xinghuo knew that even if there was a discount in the archery gym, it would be impossible to reduce the price to % off, otherwise he would have already lost money, and it should be Lu Yunhai himself who subsidized some.

He silently remembered this favor.

"Why are you polite between us, you actually said thank you to me." Lu Yunhai muttered dissatisfiedly, registered Ji Xinghuo for the course, paid the fee, and said, "Let's go, let's get started now."

More than a dozen floors of this venue belong to the archery hall, and each floor is a wide shooting range.

The two came to the third floor, and most of the shooting positions in the shooting range were occupied.Some are practiced by themselves, others are taught by a coach.

Lu Yunhai chose a shooting position and asked, "I'll get the bow. Do you want a hunting bow or an accurate bow?"

Compound bows are also subdivided into two types.

There is no structural difference between a hunting bow and an aiming bow.

In order to facilitate traveling in complex wild environments, such as forests and tunnels, hunting bows will have smaller bows, heavier pounds, and stronger power; while shooting bows have lower portability requirements and are suitable for use in open areas. The bow will be larger and the target will usually be farther away, so the poundage will be slightly lowered to improve accuracy.

Of course, most of the skills of the two types of compound bows are common, and there are many composite bows on the market that can be used for both purposes.

Ji Xinghuo knew the basics of archery.

"I want a hunting bow."

Lu Yunhai asked again: "What about the pounds?"

"70 kilograms." Ji Xinghuo estimated it before replying.

The poundage is the amount of force required to draw a bow. The higher the poundage, the more powerful it is. However, as early as more than a century ago, the unit of pounds was changed to the "kilogram" that everyone is more accustomed to.

Converting 70 kilograms into the previous pounds is about 155 pounds.

"Oh shit!"

Lu Yunhai looked envious and cursed.

It would take several years of practice for ordinary people to draw a compound hunting bow of this weight, and the body must be very strong, but Ji Xinghuo, a beginner, started practicing with a bow of this weight.

He has practiced archery for many years, and usually only uses 60 kilograms of pounds.

"It's cool to be a stranger."

Lu Yunhai often met strangers in the archery gym, and he was almost used to it. He quickly went to get a compound bow, "I'll adjust the parameters first."

For a bow to perform optimally, it must match the size of the shooter.

The first is the draw distance.

Ji Xinghuo is 198 meters tall, but his wingspan is 79 centimeters. According to the formula conversion, his draw length is centimeters. That is, when the bow is fully drawn, the most comfortable posture and the perfect force, the archer and the hook The distance between the string hands.

After adjusting the weight and aiming parameters, Lu Yunhai handed the bow to Ji Xinghuo, "Try to see if it fits your hand."

Ji Xinghuo took it over.

The wheelbase of this composite hunting bow is 85 cm. The bow handle is made of aluminum alloy, with a common hollow structure. The bow pieces are made of carbon fiber composite material. The whole bow is very light, less than 3 kg, and it doesn’t feel much weight when you hold it in your hand with your own strength.

Although the bow used by the ranger will give up many accessories.

However, this compound bow still retains the sight, which is a five-pin sight, as well as a drop arrow rest, shock absorber, stopper and splitter.

These are small and indestructible accessories that are of great help in auxiliary shooting.

"When you were a junior in college, you participated in activities in the archery club. Do you still remember the basic movements of archery?" Lu Yunhai asked.

"Of course." Ji Xinghuo nodded.

Lu Yunhai pointed to the target opposite, "Shoot an arrow and show me."

Ji Xinghuo turned sideways to the archery target, picked up a training arrow and put it on the bow. He did not use a release device. The arrow was placed on the right arrow rest of the bow handle, and he used the Mongolian shooting method, hooking it with his thumb. He clasped the bow string and his thumb with his index finger and looked at the archery target thirty meters away.

All these designs that violate conventional archery methods are for one purpose, and that is actual combat!

With the fastest speed and frequency, shoot the arrow with the highest lethality.

Ji Xinghuo's eyes were fixed on the archery target. The ten-ring yellow bullseye with a diameter of 8 centimeters at a distance of thirty meters seemed to him to be close at hand and within reach.

An intuition emerged in his mind that he could easily hit the desired position.

Vientiane Star Pupil is in effect, more precise than "Precise".

He took a breath.

Then, I pushed the bow with my left hand and used force with my right hand to pull the bow string. The 70 kilogram weight was not particularly difficult in my hand, and it was pulled smoothly.

The compound bow has one bow string and two bow cables, which are transmitted synchronously when the bow is drawn. When the bow is drawn close to the full string, the eccentric pulleys at both ends of the bow body play a role, reducing the force required to maintain the bow by %.

The "peep hole" installed on the bow string was pulled to the right eye, and the three points formed a straight line through the hole, the tip of the second aiming pin of the sight, and the bullseye in the distance.

In fact, the sight and peephole were just decorations in Ji Xinghuo's eyes.

Without these accessories, he can still shoot accurately.

Snapped!

A soft sound.

Ji Xinghuo let go and shot the arrow, which turned into a black line and penetrated deeply into the target in an instant.

"Ten rings!"

Lu Yunhai shouted out the number of rings, his eyes were unbelievable.

He knew very well that Ji Xinghuo had touched a bow a few times before, and he had only scratched the surface of his knowledge about archery.

Although the shooting process of this arrow is very smooth, there are many mistakes, which is typical for novices.

But it hit, and it was ten rings!

"Shit luck." Lu Yunhai refused to accept, "You shoot another arrow."

Ji Xinghuo smiled, picked up the second training arrow, turned sideways, raised the arrow, hooked the string, pushed the bow, lowered the shoulders, aligned, pulled the string, leaned into position, aimed, released, and closed the arrow, all in one go.

Crack, ten rings!

Before Lu Yunhai could speak, he shot three more arrows in a row. Qian Ling's dexterous hand accelerated his shooting movements, one by one faster than the other.

ten rings!ten rings!ten rings!

Lu Yunhai was stunned, looking at the five arrows stuck in the bullseye, and had to believe that Ji Xinghuo shot five ten-rings in a row.

He has worked in the archery gym for several years and has taught several novices who have just become rangers, but none of them are as accurate as Ji Xinghuo before practice.

"Wouldn't the first ability you merged be 'precision'?" Lu Yunhai was a little skeptical.

Constituent abilities of occupational templates, the order of fusion is not fixed.

Generally speaking, the first thing to be integrated is the core ability.

Although it is a very rare situation, there are also some aliens who choose to integrate non-core abilities out of personal preference or other reasons.

"What I fused is Thousand Dexterous Hands." Ji Xinghuo put the arrowhead of an arrow on the tip of his index finger, keeping it balanced and never falling over, and said with a smile: "Can't I be a natural archer? Do you have the world’s top shooting talent?”

"Why haven't you..."

Lu Yunhai stopped halfway through his words.

The professional ability that he was most proud of was suddenly broken by his friends. He instinctively wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only recognize the reality and said seriously: "It is indeed possible, okay, you are awesome! It seems that there is a certain reason why you chose Ranger."

"But this is just a thirty-meter target, and it's a fixed target."

"You're nowhere near a top shooter."

"You still have a lot to learn about archery and compound bows." Lu Yunhai put on the confident posture that a coach should have.

Ji Xinghuo nodded and said modestly: "Please give me Coach Lu's advice."
