Chapter 10, The Subtlety of Difficulty

To be honest, the food in this sharpshooter camp is already considered good

Generally, they are all below 1.6 meters

Then you can go and shoot whatever you want

In a single breath, drawing the bow, retrieving the arrow, and shooting again... Thus, after three times, three arrows were shot in one breath

Thus, his rapid-fire may seem intimidating, but the accuracy is quite average

He pointed to the various birds flying in the sky and said: "A large pancake, two stalks of green onion, a plate of dipping sauce, and a bowl of vegetable soup, this is the standard meal configuration for our archery camp. However, as an archer unit, we have a special privilege..."

Wang Qi only felt that Wang Dashan's repeated insistence on being low-key was truly difficult

However, the subsequent three arrows were aimed at a fleeing waterbird, and finally, two arrows hit consecutively, bringing it down...

He indeed became one of the forty squad leaders... He is also the first squad leader

Even the highest-ranking official at that time, Xu Junhou, was startled

However, the manner in which he shot six arrows in one breath is still quite intimidating

He knew that any further pretense would be inappropriate, so he simply continued to wear a worried expression and said: "I am worried about going hungry..."

And what about the people around?

Wang Qi nodded slightly ... After the emergence of 'one yang' within him, he could actually see very clearly even in the pitch-black night, which could be considered a true form of night vision.

Wang Qi believed he was adhering to his principle of being 'low-key', but the officers in the camp showed a moment of surprise followed by expressions of delight... It was a连珠箭, but it was not the orthodox type of 连珠箭.

Because this barracks is ultimately a strange place, and with fifty people living together, he is quite uncertain about how to handle his personal belongings, so he simply continues to carry them with him.

Shooting six arrows and hitting two birds, this hit rate is truly not remarkable

However, he remained quietly observant from a distance, as he could hear and see everything that was said and done over there just by standing far away.

He held the tails of two arrows in the palm of his hand, quickly nocking the first arrow with his index finger and thumb before shooting it out

He felt that he should perform well this time, suppressing the impulse to 'exterminate' others and achieving a shooting accuracy of thirty percent. This should be a way to remain low-key while still reaping some rewards

At this moment, he found it much easier to use the short bow he was familiar with

Many new recruits are quite satisfied with their round bellies ... . ... Many people have never eaten this full in their entire lives

The sound of the vibrating strings resonated as one among the crowd

At that moment, he was momentarily taken aback, and then, speechless, he said: "Is it really true that you grow up eating meat every day? No wonder you have such a robust and stocky appearance."

The veterans standing by felt a tightening in their hearts

However, it can be seen from here that Wang Qi, who is well-nourished, indeed stands out in this meticulously selected military group, embodying the meaning of being a crane among chickens

The second arrow was shot, the third arrow was made in the same manner, and yet another arrow missed its target

Then his arm made a quick forward thrust and retraction, and the second arrow was already fully nocked.

Then Wang reached out for the fourth time, but paused slightly in the quiver; when he took it out, he found that three arrows were already gripped in his hand

These things next to the team leader were quite amusing, and he asked: "Are you the child of a wealthy family? Able to eat meat every day?"

Upon hearing this, many of the new recruits around could not help but burst into laughter, thinking that this fellow named Wang Qi was truly outrageous for saying such things in front of the squad leader and the team captain

Indeed, he had meat to eat tonight, while others could only watch him roast the bird over the fire and swallow their saliva.

At this moment, it is just after dusk, and it is the late autumn season. Flocks of birds occasionally fly across the sky. To the north of Qiu County lies the Yishui River, where large areas along the river are inhabited by waterfowl. Currently, it is the time when the waterfowl migrate south for the winter.

In that instant, Wang Qi had already shot six arrows, with the first three slightly spaced apart, while the last three were almost in succession, resembling a string of beads

Oh? He suddenly saw a large-bodied waterbird that did not fly very high, a group of six migrating southward...

But both the length and the team rate have arrived, what should he do

Wang Qi raised his head upon hearing this and estimated the flying height of those waterfowl

This remark left Wang Qi feeling somewhat wronged; he simply has broad shoulders and long arms, and his waist is not slender. Is it really necessary to use such descriptors as 'broad-shouldered and round-waisted'?

Team leader Wu nodded in satisfaction, as Wang's various foundational conditions at this time were already quite outstanding

A person with such a physique, when paired with a pair of long arms, can easily become skilled on the battlefield with just a bit of training

Wang Qi has evidently achieved the effect of consecutive arrows using his own accustomed "wild methods," which further demonstrates his outstanding potential

However, they soon discovered that Wang Qi's grip on the arrow was far from the standard method for holding a continuous shot arrow; instead, his grip was filled with a wild and unconventional style

In fact, just by looking at Wang Qi's physique, one can understand why he worries about being hungry... This is clearly a body that has been accustomed to meat.

He had no time to select a war bow; he simply slung his own short bow off his back and nocked an arrow...

Thus, the plan he devised that night to "become a squad leader" was realized that very night

Seeing this, the team leader also became interested and simply pulled everyone to walk towards the schoolyard again

This series of rapid shots is indeed intimidating, but Wang Qi remains mindful of the character he must portray, which is that of a young hunter who shoots quickly but with average accuracy

Some young people born as hunters, like Wang Qi, began to question their lives ...? ... We are all hunters, could it be that I am the fake one?

As the sky has already dimmed, the vast majority of people here are unable to see the birds flying in the sky under such lighting conditions

Wang Qi shook his head again and seemingly answered honestly: "I am the child of a hunter... able to eat meat every day"

Buzz

And that team also asked in surprise, "Isn't that cake enough for you to eat?"

This is truly a vivid and striking example of a crane standing out among chickens

This group of fifty new recruits, gathered around several officers of various ranks, indeed brought a lively atmosphere to the barracks, which had been rather quiet during the night. The people in the other barracks also became curious, wondering what was about to happen

String of Pearls Arrow

Yet he does not regret it, after all, compared to not being able to eat meat... it is somewhat unavoidable to be a little out of line

Having said that, he pointed to the bow racks on the school grounds that had not yet been collected and said, "Go pick a bow for yourself, and then shoot whatever you want to eat."

Wang Qi's success in the recruitment process, which was almost predetermined, was largely related to his height, which was significantly greater than that of those around him

Wang Qi shook his head and said honestly: "I am full, but I haven't eaten any meat. I will surely feel uncomfortable with hunger later in the night"

The pancake is sufficiently large, and the accompanying green onions are also ample in quantity, while the vegetable soup has been generously seasoned with salt

He is asking whether Wang Qi has night blindness

The leader, whose surname is Wu, raised his head to look at the sky after bringing everyone to the training ground

The key issue is that no one is unconvinced; the new recruits all consciously believe that it is only natural for him to hold the position of a sergeant.

He then directly omitted the step of retrieving the arrow; his ring finger flicked, and he effortlessly launched an arrow that he had been holding in his palm, perfectly resting it against the edge of his hand.

Yet even so, Wang Qi still shot three arrows in quick succession in the next moment

He has been very careful to hide it, yet he did not expect to still feel out of place here

At this time, he is approximately 1.7 meters tall, and at the age of sixteen, it is still possible for him to grow taller. It is quite likely that he could grow another 10 centimeters and become a true 'eight-foot tall man'.

Upon seeing this, Captain Wu immediately asked, "Have you been eating meat since childhood, possibly giving you night vision?"

Clearly, he had planned to keep a low profile and to bide his time, yet on the very first day in the military camp, he attracted the attention of his superior... Wang Qi felt quite troubled at the moment

After the first arrow accurately hit the target, the subsequent two arrows missed their mark due to the fright of the waterfowl
