Since Lao Zhan said so, it seems that Qi Lang really has no other way but to prepare for Quill's daily abuse and humiliation.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Qi Lang rushed back to his tent on time before the barracks closed the gates. Owu had returned, and the wounds on his face were almost healed, but his face was still so ugly. Qi Lang wanted to take the initiative to talk to him to ease the relationship between the two that had dropped to freezing, but when he saw Ou Wu's fierce eyes, he quickly gave up, after all, the fault was not on him, and he hadn't lost his anger yet.

The rest of the training was no different from the first day, after the morning run, the morning was archery training, and the afternoon was swordsmanship, which was boring and extremely difficult. But now Qi Lang's goal is clearer, he wants to become a beginner warrior as soon as possible, like Gulf. He put all his energy into it, especially in archery, and Qi Lang received praise from Maggie almost every day, because the arrows he shot were getting closer and closer to the target, and of course it had a lot to do with the one-hour intensive training that Gulf gave him every night.

However, in Quill's swordsmanship training, Qi Lang did not seem to have made the slightest progress, although he used all his strength to slash each sword according to Quill's requirements, but the strength was congenitally insufficient, and he had no way to turn the wooden sword like others in the short term. For this reason, Quill invented many new nicknames for him, such as "Oriental Cat", "Soft-footed Shrimp" and the like.

Despite this, Qi Lang found that when the two of them were training, there was no one to rush to be his opponent anymore. Qi Lang also easily figured out this: there is nothing to be proud of in defeating him, but once something happens, it will be a loss of face for them to end up losing both sides like Ouwu. Only poor Gulf, though he was far from showing a talent for archery in swordsmanship, bravely took up the responsibility, and had to come up twice a day to make two strokes and deal with errands.

However, Qi Lang was most worried about the promotion, he didn't find that there was a blue flame burning anywhere in his body, let alone "bah" - Lao Zhan's description was too inaccurate, if it was said that the soreness in his body gradually turned into a hot stinging pain, then Qi Lang could often experience it.

Since the term of cleaning toilets would continue for a long time, Qi Lang and Gulf's private archery training could only start at half past seven in the evening. Qi Lang was very embarrassed about this, because the other corporals were usually busy with leisure and recreation during this time, and many of them had even begun to have trysts with the female soldiers of the White Cha Army. The Spiral Warriors are famous, and the girls are more likely to treat them differently. However, Gulf didn't seem to care too much about that, and Qi Lang guessed that he might have imprinted the "perfect image" of Second Lieutenant Maggie in his mind.

On this day, when Qi Lang came to the big willow tree by the Etrian River with a stench, Gulf had been waiting there for a long time. His freckled face was flushed, and the excitement made Qi Lang wonder if Crouch's bathroom had opened early.

"Can you believe it? I've finally figured it out!" was Qi Lang's cocktail arrow dangling vigorously in Gulf's hand.

"What? what do you understand?" said Zilang, wiping his hands with the ice at the edge of the river, but his exertion and frustration made it impossible for him to appear excited.

"Your arrow, Qi Lang, I'll do it!" Gulf laughed, "Oh my God, I'm a genius! I mean, you're a genius too!"

"I don't think so. Qi Lang said, "You are a genius, I am a fool." It's been two months, and I can only shoot the five rings at most. ”

"Come on, buddy, you're improving so fast that everybody can see it. But I'm not talking about it, you have to look at my arrow. Gulf forcibly pulled Qi Lang to his side, took his bow and arrow from behind his back, aimed a little, and shot it with a whoosh.

The arrow was like a silver-white arc of lightning, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air, bypassing the big tree in front of it, and shooting at the small sapling with the thickness of an arm behind it.

"Awesome, congratulations. Qi Lang applauded listlessly.

"Dude, can't you cheer yourself up?" Gulf looked disappointed, as if the treasure he had picked up had just been identified by an expert as an ordinary pebble, "It's a miracle, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Gurf, do you want me to say it again? Awesome, buddy, you're such a genius!" Qi Lang clapped his hands twice as he pretended to be gratified, but immediately he and Gurf sat down on the rocks by the river in a heap.

"I know you're in a hurry, Qi Lang......" Gulf beaded with sweat on his forehead, "but that's not a hurry, really." It took me a year and a half to become a beginner warrior, and of course I didn't have much talent, and ...... Old Harry doesn't have any money either......"

"yes, I'm even less talented. Qi Lang was not comforted, he looked even more depressed, "And not only do I have no money, but I also owe Dr. Qom three sils. ”

"It's unfair!" Gulf angrily threw the stone in his hand onto the hard ice, "for the sake of those five primary spirit stones, old Harry sold the only three otter skins left in the family, and he will probably never be able to buy a house in the town and leave that hellish place in the Black Forest." ”

Qi Lang was silent for a moment, feeling very uneasy that his emotions had affected his only friend. But he really couldn't pull himself together anytime soon. Three more soldiers were promoted to become beginner-level warriors, including the Qiu Qi who couldn't even hold a bow, Qi Lang really didn't understand, this so-called promotion was not like what Lao Zhan said, it was a fair assessment of nature.

"I'm sorry, Gurf. Qi Lang patted Gulf on the shoulder, "I shouldn't be like this. Everything is my fault. ”

"No, you're not wrong!" Gulf still seemed to grumble, "It's the fucking system's fault! That Felix, look at his arrogance, yes, he was the first to become a beginner warrior, but who doesn't know his details! He didn't have to work hard to get enough spirit stones, did you hear, he used twenty spirit stones to advance, he was really talented." ”

"Yes, that must be expensive, right?" Qi Lang became even more frustrated when he heard this.

"It will be expensive if he buys it!" Gulf gritted his teeth, "but does he use it? And since he was promoted to a high-level warrior, he had no intention of being promoted to the level of a martial artist at all. ”

It was the first time Qi Lang had heard such gossip, and although he guessed that it would only make him more angry, he couldn't help but ask a few more words: "How did Major William get so many spirit stones?"

"He's in a good fate! He's already in that position, he can use the exploits of the three warbands under his command to exchange spirit stones for the empire!" Gurf added a few words hatefully, "He's a fucking vampire! Even the underground trading market has been disrupted by him, and the primary spirit stones that were originally sold for ten Bernie have now been fried to fifty Bernie, do you understand? Five spirit stones cost Old Harry two and a half Syrs, two and a half Syrs!"

"Oh my God!" Qi Lang began to silently calculate how many months he would need to save up with his salary to buy five spirit stones, and at the same time pray that he would not waste himself so much to Felix, because in that case, he would probably reach the age of retirement and not be able to move up a few levels, "I thought the spirit stones should be easy to get." You know...... I was in those years...... It was during the years in the slave camp that a lot of them were collected. ”

"That's different, brother. After venting for a long time, Gulf's spirit seemed to have recovered a little, and his tone began to calm down a little, "No one can stand the spirit stones collected directly, it is like an untamed beast, and the magical power in it can make you crazy." The spirit stones all need to be transformed by the psychic master first, and the tiger inside will be turned into a kitten - sorry, I'm not quoting Quill, you know - our bodies can accept it. ”

"In other words, we have no other way but to save money?" Qi Lang sighed helplessly. He had planned to save up for it, but it was to pay back the three Syr of Dr. Qom.

"Not exactly. Gulf came up with a new idea, "When we have a chance to start participating in the operation and get some merits, we can exchange them for some spirit stones." Just like Quill, he was already a beginner-level Douzun, you know? He had probably consumed tens of thousands of primary-level spirit stones, and the middle-grade spirit stones had to be thousands, but I guarantee that he hadn't spent a single Bernie for the spirit stones. All his money was spent on wine and women. ”

Hearing Quill's name, Qi Lang suddenly vomited, as if he was still cleaning the toilet. At the same time, he noticed that Gurf also had a disgusted expression, and he seemed to have a close opinion of the stupid bear.

"Shall we study that arrow?" suggested Zi Lang and Gulf in unison, and then laughed together.

Gurf is unrivalled in archery, especially his inquisitive spirit. He discovered a new continent from Qi Lang's cocktail arrow—an unbalanced arrow feather!

Of course, Zilang's arrow could not ensure a stable arc, and Gulf improved it according to this principle. When he shoots an arrow, he only needs to fold the normal arrow feather, and through the control of different angles, the arrow can fly out of different arcs.

Gulf thought it was definitely the second biggest discovery in the military world that could rival the serial armor, but he had no intention of promoting it. He hoped that it could be a secret weapon for him and Qi Lang, because they knew that in a world where intellectual property was not valued, it would not earn them much income, but if they could use this trick to get some merit back, it would be much more affordable.
