In The Whole World, I Have 50% More Rewards - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Basic Archery

“Chiliarch Ling, why did you hit me?” asked Zhao Gao as he tried to look aggrieved.

“You idiot, the arrow missed the target by so much, and yet you’re nodding your head in satisfaction?”

“Did you totally forget my instructions?” Chiliarch Ling roared and glared angrily at Zhao Gao.

“Erm…” Zhao Gao was speechless as he rubbed the back of his head. Chiliarch Ling had misunderstood his grumbling expression.

“Chiliarch Ling, please don’t be angry. This is my first attempt at archery. It’s my fault for not doing well and being complacent. I will continue to learn. I hope Chiliarch Ling can continue to guide me.” Zhao Gao apologized hurriedly. After all, being able to master the skill of archery would be the best outcome.

“Hmph! You’d better do as you say! Hurry up and start practicing. I’ll watch from the side.” When he saw Zhao Gao that Zhao Gao had admitted his mistake, Chiliarch Ling was satisfied that Zhao Gao was willing to learn from his mistake. But he still continued to knock Zhao Gao on the head.

Within this batch of people, Zhao Gao’s strength had increased the fastest. He had shown improvement as he fought with the Adjutant every day. Hence, Chiliarch Ling naturally focused more of his attention on Zhao Gao.

It was just like the saying, ‘no teacher would dislike students with good grades’.

Moreover, Zhao Gao would be his soldier in the future. He would bear his mark and be his Man.

The stronger Zhao Gao became, the more impressive he would seem to be.

In the past few days especially, after he had finished training Zhao Gao and the others, he would always brag to the other Thirteen Protectors, about Zhao Gao.

He had annoyed the other Thirteen Protectors.

When he heard Chiliarch Ling’s command, Zhao Gao hurriedly picked up his bow and arrow, nock it, and tried his best to perform the movements. He then aimed at the target.

“Idiot, raise your hand, straighten your back, and keep your elbow level,” Chiliarch Ling pointed out Zhao Gao’s mistakes immediately.

Zhao Gao quickly adjusted his position. Chiliarch Ling shouted, “Shoot!”

“Swish!” Zhao Gao released the arrow immediately after Chiliarch Ling’s command.

“Ping!” This time, the arrow steadily hit the target. At least the arrow had not missed the target even though it only hit the outer edge of it.

“Continue, shoot as you did just now,” Chiliarch Ling instructed Zhao Gao before he turned to the next person.

“Idiot, what are you looking at? Your movements aren’t right either. Quickly pick up your bow and shoot!” Chiliarch Ling’s exasperated voice came from afar.

Zhao Gao followed Chiliarch Ling’s instructions and continued practicing his archery.

As he shot one arrow after another, Zhao Gao had to carefully aim each one before releasing it in his hand.

As time passed, the intense archery practice allowed Zhao Gao to estimate his marksmanship EXP.

This allowed him to shoot more accurately as well.

Every shot hit the target.

Zhao Gao continued to shoot, hoping to master the archery skill in these 30 minutes.

Zhao Gao worked hard at shooting one arrow after another. While ensuring accuracy, he also accelerated his speed.

He was totally focused on his marksmanship and was not affected by anything external.

“Obtained skill: Basic Archery.”

Suddenly, a notification from the system pulled Zhao Gao back to reality.

“Phew, I’ve finally obtained a Skill. I can upgrade now.” Zhao Gao secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the system notification.

“Time’s up! Next batch.” Chiliarch Ling’s voice sounded at this moment.

Zhao Gao left and let another person stand in his position to practice.

As soon as he retreated, Zhao Gao hurriedly opened the system interface and began to check the archery skills he had obtained.

“Basic Archery: Beginner-level archery skill. It is also the beginning of becoming a Sharpshooter.”

“Evaluation: Everything in the world depends on one arrow – the saying of a certain female called Han Bing.”

“Tsk! Don’t think I don’t know who said it. You even borrowed other people’s lines. This system is so ‘low’!” Zhao Gao secretly ridiculed the system’s Evaluation.

After grumbling, Zhao Gao prepared to upgrade his Basic Archery.

Before leveling up, he checked his EXP bar as usual.

“Storage EXP: 1720 673”

When he saw that there was only this bit of EXP points, Zhao Gao thought for a moment. He then had a plan for this upgrade. First and foremost, he would spend 85 600 EXP points to upgrade his Character level daily.

“Character upgrade successful!”

“Current Character Level: 7”

“Growth gained: All Stats will automatically increase by one.”

“Additional Reward for Talent: All Stats increase by 0.5.”

He silently endured the pain of his body from this upgrade.

After a minute, Zhao Gao continued to upgrade his Basic Archery.

He clicked on the Basic Archery skill twenty times.

“Basic Archery Level 1”

“Basic Archery Level 10”.

“Basic Archery Breakthrough → Elementary Archery”

“Elementary Archery Level 11.” “Elementary Archery Level 20” “Total EXP used: 1 225 685”

“Remaining EXP: 409 388”

The moment the system ended its broadcast, a familiar pulling sensation pulled Zhao Gao back to the mountain peak.

This time, his figure on the mountain peak had become one with a bow in his left hand and a quiver of arrows on his back.

As soon as he entered, all of Zhao Gao’s thoughts were focused on archery.

He took out an arrow from the quiver, nock it, drew the bow, and aimed at a red wooden target that appeared in the air.

“Shoot!” An indescribable sound echoed as Zhao Gao released an arrow.

Day after day, year after year, the bow would not wear down, the quiver would not lack arrows.

Zhao Gao’s shooting never stopped. In the first year, the red target was 50 meters away from Zhao Gao. In the second year, it was 100 meters away.

In the third year, it was 120 meters away.

In the fourth year, it was 170 meters away.

By the tenth year, the fixed target was 300 meters away from Zhao Gao.

At this distance, it was already the limit of a powerful ‘One-shi Bow’.

By the eleventh year, when Zhao Gao was able to hit the bulls’ eye accurately, the target disappeared suddenly. A large goose appeared instead.

The large wild goose flew at full speed in the sky even though it was flying at a constant 300 meters away from Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao continued to shoot arrows at the wild goose as if he was possessed.

But at such a distance, the goose naturally had time to react.

The wild goose dodged the arrows easily and continued to circle above Zhao Gao leisurely.

It was as if it was humiliating Zhao Gao.

It even mocked Zhao Gao by asking, “That’s it? That’s it?”

But Zhao Gao was not moved by anything at all. He continued shooting arrows like he was an emotionless machine.

Zhao Gao shot at the wild goose one arrow after another, but it dodged again and again.

The man and the animal seemed to have no physical limitations. Both of them maintained their physical strength at its peak.

Year after year passed, until the twentieth year, Zhao Gao was still shooting at the wild goose. As for the goose, it continued to dodge the arrows with ease.

Days passed. It was getting closer to the end of the twentieth year.

All of a sudden, Zhao Gao had an idea.

After the wild goose dodged the first arrow, he quickly loaded an arrow while trying to predict the wild goose’s trajectory. He then quickly shot another arrow.

“Swish!” The fast arrow instantly hit the goose.

With a tragic cry, the goose fell down the cliff like a plane.
