Chapter 40: Hunter's Work
【Bow Weapon Mastery (Beginner)
Passive effect: When using a bow weapon, the crosshair circle shrinking speed increases by 10%, the crosshair dispersion range decreases by 10%, and the bow's lethality increases by 10%.
Skill introduction: After being taught by experts, you have gained some experience in using bow weapons, and you have become more adept at using such weapons in combat. This skill is also a necessary prerequisite for learning bow and arrow combat skills. 】
It really is worthy of being a high-level job with an apprenticeship fee of 100,000 yuan, and weapons and skills are given upon entry.
Xiao Jie equipped himself with the bow and arrow, and drew his bow towards a target in the distance. Immediately, a gradually shrinking crosshair appeared in the center of the screen, and it took nearly two seconds to shrink from a full circle to the smallest circle. In other words, in order to ensure the hit rate, it took two seconds to aim before shooting an arrow. Adding the action of taking the arrow and loading it, it took about three or four seconds to shoot an arrow.
If you don't shoot an arrow when the circle shrinks to the smallest circle, the crosshairs will expand again in about two seconds, so it is important to grasp the timing of shooting the arrow.
Xiao Jie was quite accustomed to the bow and arrow in this game. It reminded him of the bow and arrow when playing Mount & Blade. The effect of this bow weapon specialization was probably similar to the [Strong Bow] skill in Mount & Blade.
After getting familiar with the feel of the arrow, Xiao Jie shot an arrow at the target.
Whoosh—boom!
An arrow hit the target.
"Good, the first arrow hit the target, which is acceptable." Yang Baichuan praised from the side.
I also shot an arrow when I wanted to become an immortal. He had never played Mount and Blade, but he had spent a day outdoors and shot arrows before, so shooting at a static target was no problem for him.
Let’s shoot with the same arrow.
The two of them shot arrows one after another, and soon the target was full of arrows.
After all, it is a game, and archery is definitely much simpler than in reality. As long as you master the rhythm of the shrinking circle, shooting at such a fixed target is very easy.
Yang Baichuan praised repeatedly, "I have accepted two good disciples today. Good, good, your archery skills are enough for hunting.
Being a hunter means providing prey for the village, while also eliminating the ferocious beasts that threaten the villagers.
Now that you have mastered the art of archery, let's start hunting.
Go hunt the wild animals outside the village. I will reward you according to the prey you hunt. Here are two sets of bows and arrows. I will give them to you first.
System prompt: Obtain temporary occupation [Hunter Apprentice], obtain weapons [Hunting Bow], [Rough Feather Arrows × 20].
Xiao Jie thought that he had finally gotten the job. This hunter job really deserved to be the most difficult to unlock top job worth ten taels of silver.
But the benefits are really good, they even give away weapons.
Look at the properties of the bow and arrow.
【Hunting bow (bow and arrow)
Attack power: 15 stabs.
Weapon Effect: Beast Slayer. Causes 30% increased damage to beast enemies.
Item Description: The bows and arrows used by hunters are suitable for long-distance shooting of wild animals. It is said that the original purpose of human beings inventing bows and arrows was hunting, and thus they became the nemesis of wild animals. This is the most authentic form of bows and arrows as a weapon. 】
[Rough Feather Arrow (Ammunition)
Attack: +1 stab.
Item Description: A crude arrow made of bamboo, pig iron, and goose feathers. It can barely be used for hunting, but it may not be effective against large beasts. 】
Well, it turns out that free stuff is not good.
I'll spend money to buy a better bow and arrow later.
This hunter's job is not only difficult to obtain, but also more dangerous. Unlike other jobs that can be completed in the village, hunters must go to the wild to obtain prey, which means - fighting.
However, at this moment, Xiao Jie was not as nervous as before. Although he was still only level 2, through the accumulation and improvement in the village over the past few days, his strength was now completely different from what it used to be.
You can shoot arrows from a distance, draw your sword at close range, and have the ability to ward off evil spirits when you encounter ghosts. It's time to kill monsters and level up!
No, there is also a dog training technique.
"Master, hunters should be able to learn dog training skills, right? When will this be taught?" Xiao Jie asked.
I want to become an immortal and I became excited. Yang Baichuan shook his head and said, "You can't teach a dog, you have to learn it. To train a dog, you must first learn how to feed it. Once you feed the dog well, it will naturally listen to you.
In addition to selling the prey you hunt to me, you can also feed it to the dogs. After feeding them a few times, you will naturally master the art of dog training.
[System prompt: Unlock the special errand [Dog Feeder]. This errand cannot provide direct benefits, but it can improve your [Dog Feeder] skill experience.]
Xiao Jie was confused and thought to himself, since when did feeding a dog become a skill?
Improve your skills and experience...
But he did understand that feeding dogs should be just like herding sheep. Shepherding sheep can help one learn the knowledge of wild beasts, while feeding dogs can probably help one learn dog training techniques.
Well, that makes sense. I've learned something from it...
Yang Baichuan then said, "Oh, by the way, Yin Yue Sui Feng, I promised you a treasure to send you off, so come with me."
This Yang Baichuan had clearly divided the targets of the tasks, one by one. Although the ghost was killed by Ye Luo, and the ghost-exorcising task was taken by Xiao Jie, it was only shared by Cheng Xian and me, resulting in the task reward being shared by only two of us.
And only Xiao Jie got the special reward.
Xiao Jie followed Yang Baichuan into a cellar, only to see animal skins hanging all over the walls of the cellar.
On a table, three fur products are placed side by side.
Yang Baichuan looked at the three pieces of equipment with a proud look on his face, "I have hunted countless prey in my life, but the three that I am most proud of are a brown bear, a ghost mountain cat, and a silver-maned white wolf.
I used the fur of these three beasts to make three pieces of equipment, which I have always regarded as treasures. Now that you have helped me so much, I will give you one today. Go and choose one. "
It turned out to be a blue equipment reward. Although it is not as good as a magic weapon, it is still quite good for a novice.
The first piece was an armor made of bear skin, which was extremely thick.
[Tough Bearskin Breastplate (Breastplate)
Personal defense +18.
Weight: 8
Equipment Effect: Bear's Tenacity. Increases the toughness value by 10 points.
Item Description: A chest armor made of giant bear fur, tough and heavy, capable of reducing damage while resisting the impact of weapons, making it more difficult for you to be stunned. 】
the second one
[Sensitive Lynx Leather Boots (Boots)
Leg defense +4.
Weight: 1.
Equipment Effect: Cat's Agility. Agility +3, slightly increases your running speed.
Item Description: These leather boots are made of the fur of a ghostly mountain cat. They are extremely light and can reduce the recoil force generated when running, thereby increasing running speed. 】
The third item was a white cloak.
【Cold-resistant White Wolf Cloak (cloak)
Personal defense +6.
Equipment Effect: Cold Resistance. Frost Resistance +20.
Item Description: This cloak is made of the fur of a silver-maned white wolf. It has an excellent effect of keeping warm and resisting cold. It not only makes you immune to environmental damage in a cold environment, but also has a certain resistance to frost spells. 】
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jie decisively chose the bobcat leather boots.
He was planning to go the agility route in the early stages, so equipment that increases agility is particularly valuable. Besides, you can never have too much movement speed, and it makes it convenient to run away and save your life.
"Ah, you chose this one. Good, you have good taste. This ghost mountain cat is a cunning prey. I have only killed one in my lifetime. It is a rare opportunity. Come on, let's go up."
Xiao Jie put on the leather boots and was quite satisfied.
When the two of them walked out of the cellar, Ye Luo and I Yu Chengxian were chatting outside.
"Brother Suifeng, Sister Yeluo is telling me about gaming careers. You should come and listen. Sister Yeluo, you don't mind having another audience, right?"
"Whatever." Ye Luo continued to speak in a cold tone.
Xiao Jie immediately started to listen, as this kind of game information was extremely valuable.
Knowing more about it will be extremely helpful for his future career planning.
