Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 8 A perfect shot

A lesson at the archery studio is one hour.

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

In this hour, Ji Xinghuo made great progress.

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

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

From posture, shooting steps to force exertion techniques, as long as Lu Yunhai taught him once, he would master it after practicing it a few times. He would never make mistakes again, and his shooting speed would also increase.

There was no progress because in the process of correction and practice, every arrow Ji Xinghuo shot was ten rings. Regardless of whether the action was wrong or correct, he could always hit the target.

What is the first goal in archery?

It's a hit!

Since you can hit the bull's-eye every time and achieve perfect results, it doesn't matter whether the shooting action is standard or not.

It doesn’t even make sense!

For ordinary people, incorrect archery movements and power techniques may cause some damage to the body in the long run.

But for the Rangers, the impact is minimal.

"I wouldn't have signed up for you if I had known." Lu Yunhai regretted, "You only need to take two or three lessons at most to fully master the archery skills. The rest is to practice by yourself, form muscle memory, and make your archery speed faster and faster." Faster, more distance, more weight on 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 money if you can." Lu Yunhai shook his head.

Ji Xinghuo was silent for a moment.

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 the subsidy is not high, usually around 3,000 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.

3,000 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 interests and hobbies, pursue your ideals in life, and want to be colorful and luxurious, then you must work hard on your own.

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

Therefore, the unemployment rate in APEC 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. His 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 have to think about how to make money.

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

Exotic purchases are just the basics.

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

The team includes a chief coach, a martial arts coach, a superpower coach and several sparring partners, a professional chef in charge of food, a pharmacist to assist in training, a post-training physical therapy recovery specialist, a personal doctor, and a data analyst, who are always collecting information from strangers. Body information, tailor-made training plans, optimized training efficiency, etc.

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 huge 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, aliens must have money!

The reverse can also be true. Only with money can you become a powerful alien.

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

For example, you can use your identity as a foreigner to apply for a high-paying job, but no matter how high the salary of a junior foreigner is, you won't be able to make a lot of money in a short period of time.

"Continue practicing, I'm going to take another class." Seeing that Ji Xinghuo didn't speak, Lu Yunhai patted him on the shoulder, "Don't leave in a hurry, let's have dinner together tonight, I'll treat you!"

"good."

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

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

Had a nice dinner at a nearby restaurant and had a few bottles of wine.

Although the two of them had just graduated less than a month ago, they still felt a little emotional after actually leaving the campus and entering the society.

The alma mater of Ji Xinghuo and Lu Yunhai is "Fengming Language University". It is a university that specializes in language majors. In addition to teaching languages ​​​​from around 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 Fengming University's trump card major.

The star realm is vast and boundless, and humans have currently explored and come into contact with more than a dozen civilized races, almost all of which speak different languages.

Ji Xinghuo's major is "Xinyarak Language".

This is one of the mainstream lingua franca of the human race in the star realm. In addition, he has also minored in "Celestial Language" and "Dragon Language". He has mastered three astral languages ​​in total, and his results are relatively good.

In contrast, Lu Yunhai was a mess in his studies because his part-time job took up too much time. He often failed classes and almost failed to graduate.

"Go back to school now."

Lu Yunhai got drunk and pulled Ji Xinghuo away.

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

However, when he arrived at the school gate, Lu Yunhai sobered up from the drunkenness as soon as the evening breeze blew.

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

"Haha..." Lu Yunhai laughed sheepishly, "I have been under a lot of pressure at work recently, 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 comes 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.

"Let's go and walk around the school."

Ji Xinghuo took the lead 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, I'm not in love anymore." 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, and he was a stranger, and she firmly rejected him. She went home last week, Suddenly he sent me a message to break up with me."

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.

Your love for me is beyond reproach.

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

"She doesn't think so highly of me?" Lu Yunhai was quite unwilling.

Ji Xinghuo didn't know how to answer.

Past statistics show that the success rate of fusion with alien species is the highest for the first time, but the success rate plummets by half the second time. The further back, the more likely it is to fail.

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

And Lu Yunhai has already failed once.

For the second try, he had to spend money to buy the alien species himself. Lu Yunhai's family conditions were average and he couldn't provide much support, so he had to rely on himself.

His monthly salary at the archery hall is tens of thousands, which is already a good job, but it is still far from saving enough money.

"Try Harder."

Ji Xinghuo could only comfort her, "We are still young now. Put aside emotional matters for now. Being a stranger is more important than being 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, then 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 100-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 almost ten years, and was caught up and surpassed by Ji Xinghuo 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 roughly guessed it as soon as he got started.

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

"Your 22nd birthday is coming soon. This may be the most important birthday in your life. I don't have anything good. This 'Yi Feng' is one of the several compound bows in my collection. I gave it to you as a birthday gift."

Lu Yunhai said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me. If you become prosperous in the future, just don't forget to give me a hand."

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

Yi Feng 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 20,000 Asian dollars.

Lu Yunhai looked very happy when he saw Ji Xinghuo accepting the gift.

"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 museum. You have to adjust the parameters every time you come, and the performance is mediocre. You can't Give your best."

"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 improve."

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.

Yi Feng has a wide range of weight adjustment, from 70 kg to 130 kg, so it should be able to be used for a long time.

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

"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.

Attach an arrow to the bow, draw the string, 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, from amateur to professional levels. They are also divided into indoor shooting competitions, outdoor field archery competitions, online simulated actual combat, etc. There are many spectators and a lot of prize money." Lu Yunhai gave a brief introduction.

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

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."

"Are there any registration requirements?"

"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 that this was exactly what he wanted.

In high-level large-scale competitions, although the prize money for the champion is larger, the competitors are also more powerful. If you try to steal the show, you may get into some trouble.

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.
