Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 8: % Hit

A lesson at the archery studio is one hour.

After Lu Yunhai finished the first class, he felt a little overwhelmed. He almost lost his self-confidence as an archery coach, and began to doubt whether what he had learned for many years was correct.

During this hour, Ji Xinghuo made great progress.

But it can also be said that there is no progress.

Great improvement means that Ji Xinghuo's archery movements have been corrected and become very standard.

From stance, shooting steps to power-stretching skills, as long as Lu Yunhai taught him once, he would master it after a few times of practice.

There is no progress, because Ji Xinghuo is in the process of correcting and practicing, every arrow he shoots is ten rings, no matter whether his movements are wrong or correct, he can always hit the bull's-eye.

What is the first goal in archery?

It was a hit!

Now that you can hit the bull's-eye every time and hit every shot, it doesn't matter whether the shooting action is standard or not.

It doesn't even make sense!

For ordinary people, wrong archery movements and exertion skills may cause some damage to the body in the long run.

But for rangers, the impact is minimal.

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have signed up for you." Lu Yunhai felt a little regretful. "You only need to take two or three lessons at most to fully master the archery skills. The rest is to practice on your own, to form muscle memory, to make the archery faster and faster, to increase the distance, and to increase the weight of the bow."

He could just take the time to teach the content of a few classes in private, and save a registration fee.

Ji Xinghuo understood what Lu Yunhai meant and said with a smile: "It's okay. I also used the archery hall, so I treated it as paying the usage fee."

"You don't have a job yet, save as much as you can." Lu Yunhai shook his head.

Ji Xinghuo was silent for a while.

His finances are indeed not well-off, but he doesn't need a lot of money at the moment.

The citizen welfare of the Asia-Pacific Community is very good. For citizens who are unemployed, regardless of whether they are adults or not, a monthly subsidy will be provided. There are also some additional benefits during the holidays, and there is no time limit and lasts until death.

The amount of subsidy is not high, generally around 3000 Asian dollars.

If a citizen has made a contribution to society and the country, the subsidy will increase even more, but the vast majority of people can only receive the lowest level.

3000 Asian dollars is enough for one person to maintain his daily needs. If he saves some money, he can still have a little leftover every month.

Of course, this money is only enough to survive on the basics, without going hungry or sleeping on the streets.

But it doesn’t taste very good.

If you want to live a more nourishing life, satisfy your hobbies, pursue your life ideals, and want to be colorful and luxurious, then you have to work hard on your own.

However, there are also many people with very low material desires who choose not to work all their lives and rely on the government to support them all their lives.

So the unemployment rate in APC has never been lower than 35%!

Fortunately, technology is now advanced, productivity has increased dozens of times compared to two centuries ago, and materials are abundant. Let alone feeding more than a billion citizens, even if there are billions more people, the ACP government can afford it. Feeding the non-working population has never accounted for a high proportion of the Asia-Pacific Community's financial expenditures.

Ji Xinghuo has been receiving subsidies since he was born, and he doesn't spend money lavishly. The biggest monthly expenses are rent and food.

The rest of the money was saved, but not much.

The current deposit is only over 70,000 Asian dollars.

In the past, this money would have been enough, but now that I have become a stranger, and if I want to go faster and further on the road of life evolution, I must consider how to make money.

The cultivation of aliens is very expensive, it can be said to be a waste of money!

Exotic buying is just the basics.

If you have money, you can hire an entire cultivation team to serve you.

The team includes a head coach, a martial arts coach, a supernatural coach and several sparring partners, a professional chef in charge of diet, a pharmacist who assists in training, a physiotherapist after training, a personal doctor, and a data analyst who collects physical information of other people at all times, tailors training plans, optimizes training efficiency, and so on.

In addition, many large companies have also developed targeted training methods, large-scale equipment, and more advanced and expensive auxiliary means.

The purchase of weapons and equipment is also a big expense.

The cultivation of aliens is like a bottomless pit. Even if there are hundreds of millions of people thrown into it, they may not be able to make much splash.

All in all, Yiren must be rich!

The reverse can also be true, money can become a powerful alien.

In fact, Ji Xinghuo has recently thought about how to make money.

For example, using your alien status to apply for a high-paying job, but no matter how high the salary of a junior alien is, it is impossible to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

"You continue to practice, I'm going to take other classes." Seeing that Ji Xinghuo didn't speak, Lu Yunhai patted his shoulder, "Don't leave in a hurry, let's have dinner together tonight, I'll treat you!"

"it is good."

Ji Xinghuo watched his good friend leave, put aside distracting thoughts, raised his compound bow and continued to shoot arrows.

After the training, the two left the archery gym together.

Had a nice dinner at a nearby restaurant with a couple of bottles of wine.

Although the two had just graduated for less than a month, but they really left the campus and entered the society, and they still felt a little emotional for no reason.

The alma mater of Ji Xinghuo and Lu Yunhai is "Fengming Language University", a university that mainly specializes in language majors. In addition to teaching languages ​​​​from all over the world, it also offers astral language courses. Its comprehensive strength is far from the top universities. It is considered a second-tier university in the country.

In fact, astral language is the trump card major of Fengming University.

The star realm is vast and boundless, and there are more than a dozen civilized races that human beings have come into contact with so far, and almost all of them speak different languages.

Ji Xinghuo's major is "Xinyarak Language".

This is one of the mainstream lingua francas of the human race in the astral world. He also minored in "Sky Clan Language" and "Dragon Language".

In contrast, Lu Yunhai's part-time jobs took up too much time, his studies were messed up, he often failed courses, and almost failed to graduate.

"Go back to school now."

Lu Yunhai got drunk and pulled Ji Xinghuo away.

Fengming University is located in Qishan District, very close, so Ji Xinghuo has been living here for the past few years, and he did not stop Lu Yunhai.

But when he got to the school gate, he was blown by the evening wind, and Lu Yunhai became sober from his drunkenness.

Looking at the familiar school gate, both of them smiled.

"Haha..." Lu Yunhai laughed a little embarrassedly, "Recently, the work pressure is a bit high, and I lost my composure after drinking, which made you laugh."

"If you have anything, just tell me. Don't keep it to yourself." Ji Xinghuo had already seen it.

Obviously, Lu Yunhai's pressure is not only from work, but also from emotional problems.

In the past few hours, Lu Yunhai has not mentioned his girlfriend. His girlfriend is also a classmate, but she will graduate in a year.

"Come on, let's go around the school."

Ji Xinghuo led the way into the school gate and strolled on the school playground.

It was summer vacation, but there were many people staying in school. Looking at the student couples walking around him, Lu Yunhai fell in love with the scene and finally said, "She and I have broken up."

"What's the reason?" Ji Xinghuo was a little strange.

When he was traveling for graduation, Lu Yunhai and his girlfriend were still inseparable, and they looked like they were rushing to get married.

"Why else, let's move on." Lu Yunhai laughed at himself. "When she came back from the winter vacation at the beginning of the year, she told me that someone in her hometown was pursuing her. She was still a stranger, and she firmly rejected the other party. She came home last week and suddenly sent me a message to ask me to break up."

Ji Xinghuo sighed, this kind of thing is too common.

The gap between ordinary people and foreigners is reflected in all aspects of society, especially in mate selection, where foreigners have an overwhelming advantage.

Between ordinary people and strangers, most people will make the same choice.

You love me, blameless.

Having said that, when this happens to you, especially if you are the one who is given up, everyone will feel depressed.

"Is that why she doesn't like me so much?" Lu Yunhai was quite unwilling.

Ji Xinghuo didn't know how to answer.

According to previous statistics, the success rate of the first fusion of heterogeneous species is the highest, and the success rate plummets by half the second time. The further you go, the more likely you are to fail.

By the third or fourth time, there was basically little hope.

And Lu Yunhai has already failed once.

The second time I tried, I had to spend my own money to buy the alien species. Lu Yunhai's family conditions were average, so he couldn't give much support, so he could only rely on himself.

His monthly salary in the archery gym is tens of thousands, which is already a good job, but he is far from saving enough money.

"Try Harder."

Ji Xinghuo can only comfort in this way, "We are still young now, let's put aside the emotional matters first, being a different person is more important than a woman."

Lu Yunhai nodded heavily.

"Actually, I've looked past it. Breaking up is acceptable." He barely regained his usual self-confidence. "I just didn't expect that she could change so quickly. The day before I went home, she even made an appointment with me for the summer vacation. When I met her parents, I couldn’t tell that she had changed her mind.”

"A woman..." Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "You are not a mind hacker, how could you possibly guess her thoughts."

"Too."

Lu Yunhai fell silent.

After a moment, he suddenly said with a serious face: "Sooner or later, I will make her regret it."

The two walked around the school, and after they came out, they separated and went home.

After that, Ji Xinghuo adjusted his training plan.

Spend two hours every afternoon at the archery studio, take classes and practice archery.

Lu Yunhai gave Ji Xinghuo a basic archery lesson in three days, and then upgraded it to an advanced course at the same price. It only took ten days in total to teach him all the archery knowledge he had mastered.

The rest of the time is practice.

Ji Xinghuo's archery movements and power skills became more and more proficient with each practice. The poundage of the compound bow gradually increased, stabilizing at 83 kilograms (184 pounds), and the shooting distance became farther and farther, from thirty meters The target was zoomed out to a -meter target.

Fixed target within a hundred meters, 100 hits, 100 hits, 10 rings of arrows!

However, if you switch to a moving target and a random target, you can only guarantee that the arrow will hit the target within fifty meters. Above fifty meters, the further the distance, the lower the number of rings.

Even so, Lu Yunhai was still shocked.

He practiced archery for nearly ten years, and Ji Xinghuo caught up and surpassed him in ten days.

At the end of the day's archery training, Lu Yunhai stopped Ji Xinghuo, handed over a black package, and said, "Xinghuo, take it."

"what?"

Ji Xinghuo probably guessed it as soon as he got started.

When I opened it, I found a silver-gray compound hunting bow with dozens of training arrows inside.

"Your 22nd birthday is approaching, and this may be the most important birthday in your life. I don't have any good things. This 'Yifeng' is one of the compound bows in my collection, and I give it to you as a birthday present."

Lu Yunhai said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, if you get rich in the future, don't forget to give me a hand."

Ji Xinghuo originally wanted to refuse, but upon hearing what he said, he could only nod his head: "Okay, then I'll accept it."

Yifeng is a well-known hunting bow brand.

According to ADC's evaluation standards, this composite hunting bow is classified as a "high-quality" one-star product. It uses the best materials and manufacturing processes available and is priced at approximately 2 Asian dollars.

Seeing Ji Xinghuo accepting the gift, Lu Yunhai seemed very happy.

"Every good archer must have a good bow of his own." He talked about the theory of archery. "You usually use the bow in the gym, and you have to adjust the parameters every time you come. The performance is also very mediocre, and you cannot show your full level."

"Although this Yifeng is not a super weapon, its performance is much better than the bow in the museum."

"If you use it smoothly, your strength will increase."

While Ji Xinghuo listened to him, he took out the compound bow and adjusted it according to his own data. Draw length, sights, and poundage.

Yifeng has a wide range of pounds to adjust, from 70 kg to 130 kg, and it should be able to be used for a long time.

"Try shooting a few arrows." Lu Yunhai said.

"it is good."

Ji Xinghuo calibrated the bow and immediately held it in his hand. The handle felt different when he held it.

Because it is a bow for foreigners, the material and design are strong and durable, and there is no need to consider lightweight. Therefore, Yi Feng is much heavier than ordinary compound bows. The entire bow plus accessories weighs more than 7 kilograms. This weight is very important for It's just right for me.

Nock the arrow on the bow, pull the string to aim, and release.

Snapped!

An arrow was stuck in the center of the target a hundred meters away.

He fired continuously, and in just thirty seconds, he shot out all twenty arrows in one breath, filling the ten-ring bullseye.

This was not the first time Lu Yunhai had seen it, but he was still amazed. He shook his head and said, "With your talent, you can practice moving targets and random targets again, and then you can participate in the competition. You will definitely get a ranking."

"What game?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"Chang'an holds many archery competitions every year, all over the country, ranging from amateur level to professional level, and also divided into indoor shooting competitions, outdoor field archery competitions, online simulated actual combat, etc. There are many audiences and a lot of prize money." Lu Yunhai gave a brief introduction.

Ji Xinghuo's eyes lit up, "How much is the bonus?"

Lu Yunhai replied: "Generally, those with the highest scores will receive bonuses. In the highest-level field archery competition in Chang'an, the championship bonus should be hundreds of thousands. But it depends on the sponsor. If the sponsor is generous, the championship bonus can be in the millions." It’s normal.”

"Millions!"

Ji Xinghuo was immediately excited, "When is the field archery competition?"

"It was just held in May, and the next one won't be until next year." Lu Yunhai laughed, seeing that Ji Xinghuo wanted to participate, and said: "There is a small competition next week, which is jointly organized by several archery halls in Chang'an. The 'Sheye Cup' held has a prize of more than 100,000 yuan."

"Is there a registration requirement?"

"There are no restrictions for ordinary people, and the rank of strangers cannot exceed the intermediate level." Lu Yunhai explained, "The Sheye Cup is a semi-professional competition, so the scale is relatively small."

"I signed up."

Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, this is exactly what he wants.

In high-level large-scale competitions, although the champion has more prize money, the competitors are also more powerful. If you make a big splash, you may have some troubles.

This kind of semi-professional competition is small in scale, easy to win prizes, and does not attract too much attention.

"Okay, then I'll sign up for you." Lu Yunhai said with great anticipation: "If you can win the championship, I can also take advantage of it. After all, you were taught by me and you are still a member of the museum. Maybe the curator There will be some extra rewards for you.”

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

If you can get a bonus, this might be a good way for you to make money quickly.
