29 Life is trivial and challenging
After leaving the Adventurer's Guild.
As he walked down the street, Xuan Yuan counted the remaining money with his money bag.
Removing today's expenses, count the 3 silver you get from recycling your armor.
There are a total of 6 silver and 72 bronze in his hand.
It seems to have gained a lot, but it actually made his financial situation even more tense.
Because, he already owes a debt of 10 kinnars.
Calculated based on interest.
If you have 10 gold, you have to pay a full 70 copper of interest every day.
Even if he didn't eat or drink, the money in his hand was still not enough to pay off the interest for ten days.
Fortunately, the interest is repaid on a monthly basis.
As long as he can successfully save up 21 silver before the beginning of the next month, he can survive the first month.
And, he asked Sinia.
If the guild goes to the first floor of the dungeon and recovers the lost spear, can you return him some money or return the spear to him?
Xinia told Xuan Yuan that it was wishful thinking.
If the equipment is dropped in the dungeon and cannot be retrieved on the same day.
Although, the guild still locates the specific location of the equipment.
However, this equipment can be held by certain monsters.
You must repeatedly kill a monster on the second and third floors of the dungeon to have a certain chance of falling out.
For equipment lost in this dungeon, the cost of recycling for the guild is very high.
Therefore, even if it is successfully recycled in the end.
The guild will not return the equipment to the original owner, but will directly sell it as ownerless equipment.
Recalling this, Xuan Yuan suddenly remembered the rice-grain-sized magic crystal he harvested when he fought slimes today.
Send a message to ask Sinia:
"The magic crystal that burst out of the slime, how much money does the guild recycle?"
I was about to put my personal terminal back in my pocket, but I didn't expect the other side to return in seconds.
"Slime's Shard isn't worth much."
"The recovery price of the guild is 1 copper nar = 1 slime shard, which also includes the guild's special subsidies for newcomers."
"The outside market price is 1 copper = 2 slime crystals."
Xuan Yuan scratched his head and replied with emotion:
"So cheap?"
Once again, the other party quickly replied:
"yes, it wasn't that cheap before."
"It seems that two years ago, the guild discovered a dungeon that could produce infinite miniature magic crystals."
"Arrange for people to work there 24 hours a day, and the miniature magic crystals produced by low-level monsters like slimes are not very valuable."
"If you want to make money, it is recommended to collect plants in the dungeon, or try to complete various commissions in the guild."
"Although the income is unstable, it is also a good supplement to the rookie period, which can accumulate mission points and be promoted to an official adventurer earlier."
After reading it, Xuanyuan typed and replied:
"Thank you~"
Collapse the personal terminal.
He didn't want to go too far, so he found a random restaurant that he hadn't been to before.
When I entered the store and sat down, I found that the store did not have a weapon rack to put it, so I had to carry the equipment on my back.
I didn't even eat lunch today, and the amount of exercise was very large.
Hungry, he chose to be extravagant.
I ordered a steak rice and a fruit and vegetable salad, totaling 45 copper.
Before he could taste anything, he had already gobbled up the food.
I was reluctant to buy drinks and snacks, so I poured a few more glasses of boiled water from the store to barely fill my spare stomach.
Walk slowly.
Come to a suburban jungle with a great view of the city.
After walking around and making sure there are no pedestrians nearby.
Pick up an oval-shaped piece of bark from the ground and nail it to the trunk with a dagger to use it as an arrow target.
Subsequently, remove the longbow from your back.
By the twilight of the sky, he looked at the longbow in his hand.
Speaking of which, I haven't had time to take a good look at my new weapon today.
This is a traditional bow with an all-over sky blue body, and the color is not dark or light, just right.
If you look closely in the sun, you will see that the inside of the bow is translucent and crystal clear.
From a distance, it is very inconspicuous and almost not reflective.
After looking at the good level, it is hard to imagine that this is a longbow that has been used for some years, and there is not a single scratch on the bow, and it is still as smooth and new as if it had just left the factory.
The bow is about 1.7 meters tall, which is almost the same as Genyuan's height.
The bow does not have a window or turret on it, which makes it more difficult to shoot, but also makes it more flexible and lightweight, allowing you to shoot left and right, or shoot arrows from any angle.
At the upper and lower ends, there are no string slots that can replace the bowstring, and the bow body is integrated with the bowstring.
In this regard, Xuan Yuan felt a little strange.
He had played with bows and arrows for a while, and knew that the bowstring and the bow body were durable.
Normally, the bowstring and bow body are taut, which will cause constant strain.
For a long time, the attrition rate is very fast.
Therefore, when not in use, the bowstring is usually removed and rewound when it is needed, which can effectively extend the service life of the bow and bowstring.
However, this bow is very peculiar.
It doesn't offer any detachable parts, and the string looks like it's growing straight out of the bow.
The two are integrated into one, and there is no gap.
Xuan Yuan suspected, maybe it was because this was a weapon produced by the dungeon?
Yes, you don't need to change the bowstring, right?
Familiarize yourself with this longbow.
He moved his wrist and stood on his side.
Recall the archery posture you have learned, and constantly adjust your body's center of gravity.
From the quiver, he pulled out an arrow given by the guild, and the tail rod of this arrow had a small buckle.
He holds a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand.
With a soft 'click' sound, the arrow has successfully jammed the bowstring.
He pressed down on his elbow with his left hand and pulled the string horizontally with his right thumb.
This is the idiomatic fingering of Xuanyuan's previous life, also known as Mongolian archery.
Pull the string slowly, exhale and aim, and shoot an arrow.
The bow and arrow whistled and missed the target, flying far behind.
After practicing a few arrows, I picked up the arrows one by one, and then switched to my left hand and practiced a few arrows.
Xuanyuan found that the poundage of this bow was very interesting.
It's not a fixed-pound bow, it's just how many pounds of strength you have to pull it out.
It's easy to pull the bowstring to the fullest.
He felt it clearly.
You can increase the force on the bowstring until the force applied reaches the limit of your body or fingers.
During this process, the bowstring did not change in the slightest, and it remained in the state of the full moon.
The power of an arrow increases as the power you exert increases.
That is, no matter how weak a person is, he can shoot an arrow normally with this bow.
In the same way, people with more strength can also use it normally.
As for the upper limit of the bow's power.
Xuan Yuan couldn't help but think of the head of the Harald branch, who could withstand a perverted physique that could withstand thirty times the speed of sound.
Obviously, it was impossible for Xuanyuan to touch the upper limit of the bow's power.
Touching the bow, Xuanyuan suddenly realized.
Perhaps, this is what the Harald branch president called 'special'?
This bow, the more Xuan Yuan uses it, the more he likes it, it can be said to be a dream bow for traditional bow lovers.
Put away the arrows, put the longbow on your back, and leave the wooded area.
The reason why I don't practice anymore.
On the one hand, it was too dark for me to continue practicing.
On the other hand, after only a few arrows of practice, the thumbs of both hands ached a little.
Realize that you need to find someone to customize a set of arm and finger guards.
The arm guard can protect yourself from being accidentally scratched or injured by the bowstring during archery; Finger guards can effectively protect your thumb, allowing you to shoot arrows with higher intensity and longer.
Both are necessary equipment for archers.
Put away the bow and arrow and open the personal terminal.
I found a weapon shop that seemed to have a good rating, and talked to the owner about the needs.
Faced with the plan given by the owner of the weapons shop.
Xuanyuan, who was shy in his pocket, could only order a cheapest faux leather right armguard and an inferior elastic fiber left armguard.
A total of 2 silver and 70 bronze were spent.
Fortunately, the owner of the weapon shop has long been accustomed to this, and he did not show any dissatisfaction because of Xuanyuan's shyness.
The owner of the weapon shop patiently helped him measure his wrists and arms.
Xuan Yuan glanced at the ordinary armor in the store.
His shield was also lost.
In this shop, there is an ironwood shield of the same style as the one that Xuanyuan lost, but the workmanship is far less sophisticated than his.
Even so, the shield was still priced at 24 silver, which was 8 silver more expensive than the one he bought in the city.
It's too expensive.
In desperation, Xuanyuan had no choice but to buy a round wooden shield half a meter in size, with only an iron sheet inlaid in the middle, to fill the number indiscriminately.
The shield is second-hand, with scratches all over it and even a chip.
However, it can barely be used.
Because there is a broken notch on it.
Xuanyuan was able to successfully buy it for only 1 silver garbage recycling price.
In addition, according to his analysis of the slime, Xuanyuan asked the boss to buy two lengthened hardwood barbed sticks with sharp tops, which cost 80 copper.
Make an appointment with the owner of the weapon shop to come tomorrow morning to get the wrench and arm guards.
Xuanyuan took his equipment, took his almost destitute money bag, and left the weapon shop.
Back in your hotel room.
I counted the remaining money again, and there were only 2 silver and 77 copper left.
If you go down to the dungeon tomorrow, there will still not be enough input.
I'm afraid he really can't afford to eat.
In the refrigerator of the room, I took out the delicious cake that the owner of the restaurant gave me yesterday.
When the supper is devoured and eaten.
I licked my lips and it tasted good.
Xuanyuan decided that he would continue to eat at that house for dinner tomorrow.
Wash up briefly and go to bed satisfied.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, with yesterday's experience.
Xuanyuan chose to eat a full amount of ramen for 20 copper for breakfast.
In this way, even if he doesn't eat in the dungeon at noon, he will have enough energy to support the operation, and he will not be hungry enough to panic.
Xuanyuan, who couldn't wait, brought his equipment and went to the weapon shop to get the gauntlets and arm guards first.
Wear it on your hand and it fits just right.
Although not very comfortable, there is a strong sense of inferior friction.
But Xuanyuan is not picky, as long as it can play a certain protective role.
After leaving the city, I didn't rush down to the dungeon immediately, but first found a place where no one was.
Simply move your hands and shoulders.
After shooting three rounds of arrows in one go, I finally regained some of the feeling of practicing archery in the past.
An arrow is fired, and it will not go too far from the target.
Fixed targets within five meters, the accuracy is okay.
If it is more than 10 meters, the maximum error is close to 1 meter, and you still need to practice diligently.
Anyway, he was already familiar with the current equipment, and he had some feel.
Trot all the way to the entrance to the dungeon.
There are still a lot of newcomers who don't know anything, and they are holding signs looking for teammates everywhere, and not far away is still the familiar small tent, and there is a lazy rookie instructor lying on the table.
It's a pity that the newcomers are no longer the newcomers they used to be, and the instructors are no longer familiar instructors.
The lives of those people are forever left in yesterday.
Take a deep breath.
Xuanyuan stood at the entrance of the dungeon and started a full set of warm-up activities.
Xuanyuan, who had practiced martial arts for some years in his previous life and would exercise from time to time, knew very well the importance of warm-up activities in advance before intense exercise.
Yesterday, I was mainly in a hurry, and I was pulled away by the instructor directly, and I didn't have time to warm up at all.
Fortunately, I didn't drop the chain, and I didn't twist my ankle or strain my muscles.
Today, he wanted to go in again when he was fully prepared.
Seeing Xuanyuan's movements, there was something peculiar.
Some adventurers looked at Xuanyuan with curiosity, pointing at Xuanyuan and laughing with his companions.
Maybe he thinks Xuanyuan's movements are a little funny, he doesn't feel like an "adventurer" at all, and he is not handsome at all.
There are a few clever newcomers who can see that this is a lone guy with a dungeon longbow on his back.
Although I didn't understand what the big guy was doing, he decided to run along and do it along.
Ignore these newcomers who came to learn from him.
The entrance to the dungeon is a cruel trial for newcomers.
Regardless of whether Xuan Yuan approved of the Adventurer's Guild's practices or not, he had to follow the rules.
That's what he was told again and again yesterday.
When Xuanyuan stretched his ligaments and was ready to enter the dungeon.
A burly man in full gold armor.
Carrying a heavy sword, he rushed out of the lounge, blocked Xuanyuan's way, and roared loudly:
"Stinky boy, you stepped on my face in public yesterday, didn't you?"
"Come, come with me!"
"Today, one of you and me must lie here!!"
