Chapter 78: Tower Shooting Test
The general on the rostrum continued his speech, first introducing the North Camp. Beiying is one of the places where troops are recruited and trained. The military is the official armed force. It is an armed force authorized by the government to use force and weapons to defend official interests and citizen interests. It mainly performs the following tasks: eliminate the four pests (bandits, bandits, bandits, pirates), etc.
The main purpose of this military activity is to select talents. Currently, there are many people participating in the activity. The number of people in Beiying alone exceeds 50,000.
As the saying goes: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." This means that everyone wants to be a "general", but those who can become a general must be among the best.
This event is where players can display their abilities and talents. Officials will select the best players through four assessments.
The four assessment items are: force, strategy, shooting, and riding. Each item is divided into: audition, elimination, and promotion.
The general on the ring raised his right hand, pointed in one direction and said to everyone: "Have you seen that pagoda?"
The players in the queue area looked up neatly, and what they saw was the "Leifeng Tower".
"That tower is the famous trial tower in our army. There are currently four trial towers in Buluo Town, which are called the "Martial" trial tower, the "Wisdom" trial tower, and the "Riding" trial tower. The trial tower and the "shooting" trial tower respectively correspond to the four assessments of force, strategy, riding skills, and shooting. Our tower in Beiying is the "shooting" trial tower."
The general finally said: "The shooting assessment will be held at 9:20, so all players should be prepared."
Feng looked at the time and saw that there were still about five minutes left. These five minutes should be the official time given to players to prepare and discuss. There has been a lot of discussion in the inn group, and everyone is thinking of countermeasures.
The tower in Dongying is the trial tower of "Martial Arts", referred to as Dongwu;
The tower in Nanying is the trial tower of "Zhi", referred to as Nanzhi;
The tower in Xiying is the trial tower of "riding". Referred to as West Riding;
The tower in Beiying is the trial tower of "riding". Referred to as Beiqi;
For Feng, there is no need to delve into the two assessments of martial arts and riding skills, because these two aspects are his strengths and he will definitely be among the best.
What is worth discussing is strategy and shooting. Strategy is something that is very unfamiliar to most people in peaceful times. Most of their knowledge in this area is obtained from books and movies. If I want to use one word to describe it, it would be: " Talking on paper”.
As for shooting, this game has very strict control over long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. So far, he has never used such long-range weapons, or even seen such weapons. Therefore, if we had to use one word to describe our understanding of this type of weapon, it would be "blank."
Five minutes passed quietly, and just after nine-twenty, the general shouted from the podium: "The auditions have begun."
With the general's military order, the scene in front of him changed drastically. In an instant, he was no longer in the formation area of the North Camp, but had entered the "Shooting" trial tower.
A voice from the system came to my ears: "This audition will last for two hours. After two hours, the officials will rank the players based on the number of levels they have cleared in the trial tower. The top 2,000 players will enter the next round of eliminations. "
Then, a countdown starts in the upper left corner.
In order to make this assessment fair, the official has replaced all players' weapons and armor with ordinary weapons and armor.
Now, what is in front of Feng is the gate of the first floor of the "Shooting" trial tower. Just walk forward a few steps and you can immediately take the first floor assessment of shooting.
Xiaochao from Nanying has entered the "Wisdom" trial tower to start the strategy assessment, and Westbrook from Dongying has also entered the "Wu" tower.
So, he strode forward and entered the first floor of the "Shooting" trial tower.
On the first floor of the "Shooting" trial tower, there are various long-range weapons placed inside, including bows, arrows, crossbows, etc. Players can choose one of them as their own weapon.
When you get a new weapon, the first thing you need to do is of course match the game character's weapon actions with the character's actions. He spent several minutes matching the weapon actions of his chosen bows and crossbows one by one.
During the action pairing process, he also discovered the advantages and disadvantages between bows and crossbows.
The bow has fast attack speed, is light and easy to carry, and has high usage conditions, but its accuracy is not high and its penetration is not strong;
The crossbow has a slow attack speed, is bulkier than a bow, and has lower usage conditions, but has high accuracy and strong penetration.
In terms of operability, the operation of the crossbow is simpler. You only need to load the crossbow arrows, and then aim and shoot more calmly; while the operation of the bow is relatively difficult to master and more challenging.
After repeated considerations, he finally chose the more challenging bow and arrow as his weapon. There is only one reason: in the world of martial arts, nothing is invincible except speed. The fast attack speed of the bow and arrow is its biggest advantage.
With the bow and arrow in hand, I have everything in the world. He put the arrow on the bowstring, aimed in the direction, and released it with his right hand. The arrow shot out quickly like a wild horse running wild.
The feeling was good, but the result was heartbreaking. The arrow deviated from the track in mind and did not hit the target in the distance. Instead, it flew into the open space near the target.
"Haha" he could only smile awkwardly. This result was expected. After all, it was still a bit extravagant to hope to hit the target in one go.
He did not lose heart, cheered himself up, took out another arrow from the quiver, and put the arrow on the bow string. After learning from the last experience, he adjusted the angle and released his right hand.
This time, the result was good, the arrow hit the edge of the target.
"I was able to hit the target twice. It seems that I have the potential to become a marksman." Seeing this result, he couldn't help but praise himself.
The conditions for clearing the first level are very simple, just choose a weapon and shoot it anywhere on the target.
Coming to the second level, the difficulty of clearing this level is greatly increased. It not only increases the number and distance of the arrow targets, but also increases the requirements for hitting the target.
The game divides the archery target into ten rings, ascending from the outside to the inside.
There are a total of 5 archery targets on the second level, which are located at 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 35 meters, and 40 meters away from the player.
Passing conditions: The target at 10 meters is above 9 rings, the target at 20 meters and 30 meters is above 7 rings, the target at 35 meters and 40 meters is above 5 rings.
He thought that this military activity would be a lively feast, but it turned out that it was still a lonely trip, but he had become accustomed to it.
He fully understands the principle of "one minute on stage, ten years off stage". Success is a lonely journey; without long-term accumulation and training, how can one develop good martial arts skills?
Bows and arrows are very different from weapons such as knives and guns. It requires calmness and concentration. Players must keep themselves still at the moment when the arrow is released. Even a small breath will affect the final result of the arrow. direction.
He is indeed a talented young man. In a short period of time, he has mastered the essentials of bow and arrow operation. He actually achieved a good score of 8 rings on an archery target 40 meters away from him.
Arriving at the third level, the difficulty of this level begins to increase again. The targets on the first two levels were dead targets, but now the targets are moving targets. The moving archery target further tests the player's operation, and the player must have his or her own ability to predict the target archery target.
The ability to predict is a kind of combat talent, and it is also a process of precise calculation. Players first predict the trajectory of the target in their own minds, and then calculate a series of data such as the distance between the target and themselves, as well as the time for the bow and arrow to travel in the air.
Finally, all the data come together in the mind to form an operational feeling. This operational feeling is ethereal and can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
After repeated failed operations and successful operations, he gained his own views and understanding of bows and arrows, and gradually became more and more comfortable with them.
Forty minutes had passed since the two-hour test. Feng also arrived at the sixth floor of the "Shooting" trial tower. Not only did the target move on this floor, but so did the shooting position of the players. Players must avoid the traps, traps, hidden weapons, and obstacles set by the system while aiming to shoot at moving targets or small animals.
Now he is in a dense deep forest. Archery targets and small animals will randomly appear in every corner of the deep forest. Also randomly appearing are mechanisms, traps, hidden weapons, and obstacles.
The quiver on his back contains a total of 20 bows and arrows. The conditions for passing the level are to hit 5 arrow targets, 5 rabbits, and 5 birds. If it fails, start again.
Holding a bow and arrow, looking in six directions, listening in all directions, and walking like a cat, he suddenly heard a rustling behind him. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was a little rabbit running back and forth among the fallen leaves.
Although the little rabbit is very cute, its cuteness is one of the conditions for passing the level. He has no choice but to draw his bow and shoot it. Unexpectedly, this rabbit was not only cute, but also cunning. The moment he shot the arrow, the rabbit's movement speed actually doubled, perfectly dodging the fatal blow.
"What an awesome little rabbit, he actually predicted my prediction." When he saw the rabbit escape, he had to put down his contempt for the little rabbit, and at the same time, he became more vigilant about this level of assessment.
Continuing the catwalk, looking for the target, an arrow target appeared on the tree in front of him. This arrow target hung motionless on the tree. As long as he took another step forward, he would have a good attack view.
