A lesson in the archery hall is an hour long.

After Lu Yunhai finished the first class, he felt a little unbearable, and he almost failed to maintain his self-confidence as an archery coach, and began to doubt whether what he had learned over the years was correct.

In this hour, Ji Xinghuo has made great progress.

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

Great improvement refers to the fact that Ji Xinghuo's archery movements have been revised and become very standard.

From posture, shooting steps to power skills, as long as Lu Yunhai teaches it once, he will master it after practicing it a few times by himself, and he will never make mistakes again, and his archery speed has also increased a little.

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

What is the first target of archery?

It's a hit!

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

It doesn't even make sense!

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

But for the Ranger, the impact was minimal.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have enrolled you in class." Lu Yunhai regretted a little, "You only need to take two or three classes at most, you can fully master the archery skills, and the rest is to practice by yourself, form muscle memory, make the archery faster and faster, increase the distance, and increase the tension of the bow." ”

For a few lessons, he would just take the time to teach them privately, and he could save a registration fee.

Ji Xinghuo understood what Lu Yunhai meant, and said with a smile: "It's okay, how can I say that I also used the venue of the archery hall as a usage fee." ”

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

Ji Xinghuo was silent for a moment.

It is true that his economy is not well-off, but he does not have a place to use a lot of money for a while.

The benefits of APEC citizens are very good, for citizens who do not work, whether they are adults or not, a monthly grant is paid, and there are some additional benefits during the New Year's holidays, and there is no time limit, which lasts until death.

The amount of the grant is not high, generally around 3,000 Asian dollars.

If a citizen has contributed to the social state, the subsidy will rise even more, but the vast majority of people will only receive the lowest level.

3,000 Asian dollars is enough for a person to maintain daily necessities, save some, and have a little surplus every month.

Of course, this money is only enough for the most basic life, and there will be no starvation and no sleeping on the streets.

But it didn't taste good.

If you want to live a nourishing life, satisfy your hobbies, pursue your life ideals, and want colorful and luxurious scenery, then you must work hard yourself.

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

As a result, the unemployment rate in APAC has never fallen below 35%!

Fortunately, today's science and technology are advanced, the productivity has increased dozens of times compared with two centuries ago, and materials are abundant, not to mention to feed more than a billion citizens, even if there are billions more, the ACP government can afford it. Feeding the unemployed has never been a high share of APEC fiscal expenditure.

Ji Xinghuo has been receiving grants since he was born, and he has not spent money lavishly, and his biggest expenses every month are rent and food.

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

At present, the deposit is just over 70,000 Asian dollars.

If it was before, this money would definitely be enough, but now that he has become an alien and wants to go faster and farther on the road of life evolution, he must think about how to make money.

Inhuman cultivation is very expensive, and it can be said to burn money!

Xenobuying is just the basics.

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

The team includes a chief coach, a martial arts coach, a paranormal coach and several sparring partners, a professional chef in charge of diet, a pharmacist who assists in cultivation, a physiotherapy restorer after training, a personal doctor, and a data analyst, who collects inhuman body information at all times, tailors a training plan, optimizes cultivation efficiency, and so on.

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

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

Inhuman cultivation is like a bottomless pit, even if there are hundreds of millions, if you throw it in, you may not be able to make much splash.

All in all, Inhumans must be rich!

The reverse can also be established, and only with money can you become a powerful Inhuman.

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

For example, using one's identity as an alien 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 go on with the practice, I'll go to another class." Seeing that Ji Xinghuo didn't speak, Lu Yunhai patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be in a hurry to leave for a while, let's eat together in the evening, I'll have a treat!" ”

"Okay."

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

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

Had a hearty dinner at a nearby restaurant and drank a few bottles of wine.

Although the two have just graduated less than a month ago, they really left the campus and entered the society, and they still feel a little emotional.

Ji Xinghuo and Lu Yunhai's alma mater is "Fengming Language University", a university with language majors, in addition to teaching Chinese languages around the world, it also offers Astral Language courses, and its comprehensive strength is far from the top universities, which can only be regarded as a second-rate university in China.

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

The astral realm is vast, and there are more than a dozen civilizations that human beings have explored and come into contact with, almost all of which have different languages.

Ji Xinghuo majored in "Sinyalak language".

This is one of the mainstream lingua franca of the Astral Terrans, and he also minored in "Celestial Language" and "Dragon Language", and has mastered a total of three Astral Languages, and his results are relatively good.

In contrast, Lu Yunhai took up too much time because of his part-time job, his studies were a mess, and he often failed to graduate.

"Let's go back to school now."

Lu Yunhai was full of wine, and pulled Ji Xinghuo and left.

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

However, when he arrived at the school gate, he was blown by the evening breeze, and Lu Yunhai's alcohol was sober.

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

"Haha......" Lu Yunhai laughed a little embarrassedly, "Recently, I have been under a lot of pressure at work, and I lost my temper when I drank alcohol, which made you see the joke." ”

"Tell me if you have something, don't hold it yourself." Ji Xinghuo had already seen it.

Obviously, Lu Yunhai's pressure not only comes 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 there is still a year to graduate.

"Let's go, take a walk around the school."

Ji Xinghuo took the lead in walking into the school gate and strolling on the school's playground.

It's summer vacation now, but there are a lot of people staying in school, looking at the student couples coming and going, Lu Yunhai touched the scene, and finally said: "I have broken up with her." ”

"What is the reason?" Ji Xinghuo is a little strange.

When he graduated from the previous trip, Lu Yunhai and his girlfriend were still like glue, looking like they were rushing to get married.

"Why else, don't fall in love with empathy." Lu Yunhai laughed at herself, "When she came back from the winter vacation at the beginning of the year, she told me that someone in her hometown pursued her, and she was still a stranger, so she resolutely rejected the other party. She came home last week and suddenly messaged me to break up. ”

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

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

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

You and I are willing, blameless.

That being said, when this happens to you, especially when you are the one who has been given up, anyone can feel depressed.

"She's so dismissive of me?" Lu Yunhai was a little unwilling.

Ji Xinghuo didn't know how to answer.

Past statistics show that the success rate of the first fusion of xenomorphs is the highest, and the success rate of the second time plummets by half, and the further you go, the more likely you are to fail.

By the third and fourth times, there was little hope.

And Lu Yunhai has already failed once.

On the second attempt, you have to spend your own money to buy xenomorphs, Lu Yunhai's family conditions are average, and he can't give much support, so he can only rely on himself.

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

"Go for it."

Ji Xinghuo could only comfort him like this, "We are still young now, emotional matters will be put aside, and it is more important to be an alien than a woman." ”

Lu Yunhai nodded heavily.

"Actually, I also saw it, and a breakup is acceptable." He barely regained his usual self-confidence, "I just didn't expect her to become so fast." The day before she went home, she made an appointment with me to meet her parents during the summer vacation, and she couldn't tell that she had changed her mind. ”

"Women......" Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "You're not a mind hacker, how could you guess her thoughts." ”

"Yes."

Lu Yunhai was silent.

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

The two went around the school for a while, and when they came out, they went home separately.

After that, Ji Xinghuo adjusted his cultivation plan.

Every afternoon, I set aside two hours to go to the archery hall to take classes and practice archery.

Lu Yunhai completed the beginner archery course for Ji Xinghuo in three days, and then upgraded to an advanced course, the fee remained the same, and it only took ten days in total to teach him the archery knowledge he mastered.

The rest of the time is practice.

Ji Xinghuo's archery movements and power skills became more and more proficient in practice again and again, and the tension of the compound bow gradually increased, stabilizing at 83 kilograms (184 pounds), and the shooting distance became farther and farther, from a 30-meter target to a 100-meter target.

A fixed target within 100 meters, 100 shots and 10 shots, and 10 rings of arrows!

However, if you change to a moving target and a random target, you can only guarantee that the arrow will hit the bull's-eye within 50 meters, and above 50 meters, the farther 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 by Ji Xinghuo in ten days, and surpassed.

At the end of the archery training on this day, Lu Yunhai called Ji Xinghuo, handed over a black package, and said, "Xinghuo, take it." ”

"What's that?"

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

When I opened it, it was a silver-gray compound hunting bow, and it was equipped with dozens of training arrows.

"Your 22nd birthday is approaching, and this is probably the most important birthday of your life. I don't have any good stuff either, this 'Yifeng' is one of the few compound bows I have in my collection for your birthday. ”

Lu Yunhai said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, if you are developed in the future, don't forget to pull me." ”

Ji Xinghuo wanted to refuse, but when he said this, he could only nod: "Okay, then I'll accept it." ”

Yifeng is a well-known hunting bow brand.

According to ADC's evaluation criteria, this composite hunting bow is a "high-quality" one-star, using the best materials and manufacturing processes available, and the price is about 20,000 Asian dollars.

Lu Yunhai looked very happy when he saw Ji Xinghuo accept 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, and you have to adjust the parameters every time you come, and the performance is very mediocre, so you can't play your full level." ”

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

"If you use it well, your strength will improve."

Ji Xinghuo listened to him while taking out the compound bow and adjusting it according to his own data. Pull distance, sight, as well as pounds.

The Yifeng has a large range of poundage adjustments, from 70 kg to 130 kg, and should be able to be used for a long time.

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

"Okay."

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

Because it is a bow for Inhuman, the material and design are biased towards sturdiness and durability, and there is no need to consider lightweight, so Yifeng is much heavier than the average composite bow, and the whole bow plus accessories is more than 7 kg, which is just right for himself.

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

Syllable!

A hundred meters away, in the center of the target, an arrow was inserted into it.

He shot continuously, and in only thirty seconds, he shot all twenty arrows in one go, filling the bullseye of the ten rings.

It wasn't the first time Lu Yunhai had seen it, but he was still amazed, shook his head and said: "With your talent, if you practice moving targets and random targets again, you can go to the competition, and you will definitely be able to get the ranking." ”

"What game?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"Chang'an holds a lot of archery competitions every year, all over the country, from amateur to professional, but also divided into indoor shooting competitions, outdoor field archery competitions, online simulation of actual combat, etc., there are many spectators, and there are a lot of bonuses." Lu Yunhai gave a brief introduction.

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

Lu Yunhai replied: "Generally, the top performers have bonuses, and the highest level of field archery in Chang'an, the champion should have hundreds of thousands. However, it depends on the sponsor, and if the sponsor is generous, it is normal for the champion to win millions of dollars. ”

"Millions!"

Ji Xinghuo was immediately moved, "When is the Field Archery Competition?" ”

"It was just held in May, and the next one will be next year." Lu Yunhai laughed, seeing that Ji Xinghuo wanted to participate, and said: "There will be a small competition next week, which is the 'Leaf Shooting Cup' jointly organized by several archery halls in Chang'an, and the prize money is also more than 100,000 yuan. ”

"Are there any registration requirements?"

"There is no limit to ordinary people, and the rank of an alien cannot exceed the intermediate level." Lu Yunhai explained, "The Leaf Shooting 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 championship prize money is more, the competitors are also more powerful, and if you make a big show, you may have some trouble.

This kind of semi-professional competition, which is small in scale and easy to get prize money, will not attract much attention.

"Okay, then I'll sign you up." Lu Yunhai said very expectantly: "If you can win the championship, I can also follow the light, after all, you are taught by me, and you are still a member of the museum, maybe the curator will give you some additional rewards." ”

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

If you can get a bonus, it may be a good way to make a quick buck on your own.
