Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 7 Archery
This time out, Ji Xinghuo chose to walk.

Chang'an's urban planning is excellent, and the separation of people and vehicles is completely achieved. Most of the cars drive on the elevated superconducting roads, and there are very few vehicles on the ground. The ground roads designed separately are also closed, occupying only a small 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 walked and talked leisurely, while others walked in a hurry, wearing power shoes and gliding past.

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.

10 minute later.

Ji Xinghuo came to a stadium with a height of more than ten floors, and the sign outside the wall read "Qishan Wutong Archery Stadium".

"I have arrived."

He sent a message at the door.

Soon, a tall, thin, long-haired young man ran out from the archery gym, and exclaimed in surprise, "Xinghuo! I thought I was joking with you, but it's really here!"

"A sea of ​​clouds."

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

Lu Yunhai is his classmate, one of the few best friends in college, and they would see each other almost every day before graduation.

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

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

"It's been resolved." Ji Xinghuo showed a mysterious smile, "I'm in a very good state now."

"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, and he had never heard Ji Xinghuo mention that he wanted to choose 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 Dragon is a unique profession in the Asia-Pacific Community, with a small number of people and outstanding strength. It is one of the top professional templates in the world.

Any titanium cobalt dragon man will at least be a super alien in the future.

Whether it's strength potential or power status, Tico Dragon is far superior to Ranger, and there is a world of 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 didn't delve into it wisely, and said with a smile: "Your knight is also very good, don't worry about getting a job."

It was only now that he realized it later, and his face was stunned, "No wonder you came to me!"

"You work in the archery gym, who would I look for if I don't?" Ji Xinghuo spread his hands.

The ranger's main weapon is the bow and arrow.

In the early stage, at least before being promoted to a super alien, a ranger has [-]% of his strength in bows and arrows. Archery is not only a must to master, but also to practice 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 fusion failed.

However, Lu Yunhai did not give up. After he recovered, he began to work part-time outside the school, saving money to buy the second fusion of different species, and 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 became angry, "You want to give me a discount."

"All right, all right, I'll give you the best price." Lu Yunhai satirized enough, and felt relieved, "Come with me."

He took Ji Xinghuo into the archery gym.

When meeting colleagues and students along the way, many people would call Lu Yunhai "Coach Lu", which shows that he has quite a status in the archery gym.

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

"Of course." Lu Yunhai boasted, "Although I'm not a stranger yet, I'm only good at archery. I can rank in the top five in our museum, and I can even compete for the top three. Only the curator can stabilize me."

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 job a super alien does, their 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 gave the answer without thinking too much, and didn't even ask about the price difference.

Lu Yunhai nodded without any 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, compound bows also have disadvantages, but it is difficult to make up for the huge gap in power.

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 the competitive recurve bow without most of its accessories.

Some traditional bows are also 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 [-]% 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?"

There are two types of compound bows.

There is no difference in structure between a hunting bow and a shooting bow.

Hunting bows are easier to travel in complex outdoor environments, such as forests and tunnels, so the bow body will be smaller, but the weight is larger and more powerful. The shooting bow has lower portability requirements and is suitable for use in open areas.

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 greater the power.However, as early as more than a century ago, the unit of pounds was changed to the more accustomed "kilogram".

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

"Oh shit!"

Lu Yunhai looked envious and cursed.

With a compound hunting bow of this pound, ordinary people have to practice for several years before they can draw it, and their bodies must be very strong. As a beginner, Ji Xinghuo used such a heavy bow to practice.

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 at its best, it must match the size of the archer.

The first is the draw distance.

Ji Xinghuo is 1.8 meters tall, but his wingspan is 198 centimeters. According to the formula conversion, his draw length is 79 centimeters, that is, the distance between the bow hand and the draw hand when the bow is most comfortable and the force is perfect.

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 in your junior year, you participated in activities in the archery club, do you still remember the basic archery movements?" 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 didn't use a release device, and the arrow was placed on the right arrow rest of the bow handle, and he used the Mongolian shooting method. He hooked the bowstring with his thumb, clasped his thumb with his index finger, and looked at the arrow target 30 meters away.

All these designs that violate the conventional archery method are all for one purpose, that is actual combat!
With the fastest speed and frequency, shoot the arrow with the highest lethality.

Ji Xinghuo's eyes locked onto the target. At a distance of 30 meters, the yellow bull's-eye with ten rings and a diameter of 8 centimeters seemed to be within reach in his eyes.

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, push the bow with the left hand, and pull the bowstring with the right hand. The 70 kg weight is not particularly difficult in the hand, and the string is 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 "peephole" installed on the bowstring was drawn to the right eye, and the gaze passed through the hole, the tip of the second aiming needle of the sight, and the bull's-eye in the distance, and the three points formed a straight line.

In fact, the sight and peephole are 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 at most a few times before, and the knowledge about archery was also some superficial knowledge he had come into contact with from himself.

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

But it hit it right, 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, drew the string, pushed the bow, lowered the shoulders, aligned, pulled the string, leaned in, aimed, released, and closed 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 dumbfounded, looking at the five arrows on the bull's-eye, he 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 fusion must be 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.

"I am fused with a thousand dexterous hands." Ji Xinghuo put the arrowhead of an arrow on the tip of his index finger, keeping it balanced and never falling, and said with a smile, "Can't I be a natural archer and have the world's top shooting talent?"

"Why didn't you..."

Lu Yunhai stopped halfway through his words.

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

"But it's just a 30-meter target, and it's a fixed target."

"You're nowhere near a top scorer."

"About archery and compound bow, you still have a lot to learn." Lu Yunhai put on a confident attitude that a coach should have.

Ji Xinghuo nodded, and said modestly, "Please coach Lu for advice."
