From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 1 Aspiring to Become a Grandmaster Archer

Lezhou, Chen Mansion.

Lezhou is a state with a relatively low presence in Qing State, and the Chen family is a middle-class family in Lezhou. Although they have no power, they are wealthy and are considered a prestigious merchant family in Lezhou.

It was noon at this time. The scorching sun swept through every corner of the Chen Mansion. No one in the huge mansion dared to leave the shelter of the houses and trees. Even the servants who were working quickly ran to the places where the sun was shining.

But even in such a hot environment, from the backyard of the Chen Mansion, where the sun was shining brightly, there were occasional sounds of breathing, as well as the sharp sounds of arrows breaking through the air and the muffled sounds of arrows piercing into the grass.

The spacious backyard was converted into a martial arts training ground. A handsome young man with no shirt on stood upright, holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, shooting sharp arrows one after another.

"call···"

"Someone, bring some cold water."

After shooting the last shot, Chen Qiye let out a long sigh, threw the longbow aside, walked to the bench under the eaves and sat down, asking the servants to bring him some water to quench his thirst.

Soon, a pretty maid came with a large bowl in both hands and quickly walked to Chen Qiye to serve him the cold water that the young master had requested.

"Master, you need to drink the cold water you requested quickly, or it will get hot soon."

When the little maidservant was speaking, she glanced at her young master's exposed upper body intentionally or unintentionally. The smooth lines of muscles made her cheeks red, and she immediately lowered her eyes and dared not look again.

Chen Qiye naturally knew what the little girl was doing, so he patted her on the back, then picked up the cold water and drank it all.

"Ah... Master, you are bad."

"I've seen it several times, why are you shy about taking a picture of it?"

"Master is annoying. Xiaoling is ignoring him."

The maid Xiaoling couldn't stand her young master's teasing any more, so she covered her face and ran away quickly.

Chen Qiye laughed loudly, and his laughter made the little maid run faster.

Retracting his thoughts, Chen Qiye opened the system panel with an idea.

Soon, a series of information emerged in his mind.

【Name: Chen Qiye. 】

【Strength: Rank Four.】

【Talent: God rewards hard work. 】

[Main skill: Archery lv1 (70/100)]

【Persistent practice will continuously increase your skills and experience.】

[Internal skills can increase the effect of archery training, and they complement each other! It is recommended to learn at least one internal skill and practice it at the same time as archery. ]

The golden finger has just been received for a month. Chen Qiye has been working hard to gain experience points every day for a month, but he has only 70 experience points so far. He doesn't know whether this speed is fast or slow because he has no reference target.

However, his strength was only at the second level a month ago, but after having the system, it was upgraded to the fourth level in just a few dozen days. It seems quite impressive when you think about it.

He traveled to the world of Joy of Life for eighteen years and had just cultivated to the second level a month ago. The improvement in one month after the system was implemented was greater than his previous improvement in the past ten years. This was all due to the special system talent of heaven rewarding hard work.

The reason why he had only reached the second level after eighteen years was because he had suffered a serious illness when he was a child, which made his improvement extremely slow no matter how he practiced. However, he did not give up and always persevered.

Fortunately, the golden finger has arrived now. Could it be that the so-called God rewards hard work is God’s mercy to him?

This strange thought suddenly flashed through Chen Qiye’s mind.

God rewards hard work. Learning any martial arts does not require innate comprehension. As long as you learn, you can learn it, and you can continue to increase your level by gaining experience. It is only a matter of time before you are promoted to a grandmaster. But now he has to find a way to get a book of internal skills first, so that he can increase his training speed.

Chen Qiye himself is an avid fan of long-range shooting games, and what he likes most is the feeling of shooting opponents from a long distance.

When watching Joy of Life, the character that I identify with the most is not the protagonist Fan Xian, but Yan Xiaoyi, the only ninth-grade archer in the world of Joy of Life.

He also fantasized that if he traveled through time, he would definitely cultivate to become the only Grandmaster Archer. The Grandmaster's attack was equivalent to a nuclear bomb, so wouldn't a Grandmaster Archer be a nuclear bomb mortar? Barrett was so weak.

Therefore, after the awakening system, he chose archery as his main skill without hesitation, and the main skill can be changed, and he can change it after reaching the maximum level.

As we all know, people have a serious misunderstanding about archers, that is, they subconsciously think that archers have weak melee combat ability and physical strength. Little do they know that drawing the bow and shooting arrows relies on the explosive power of the whole body and extraordinary concentration.

With both mental and physical strength fully stacked, how could the melee ability be bad?
Therefore, Chen Qiye is now in great need of an internal skill to improve his hard power.

However, internal skills are rare and priceless items, so it is not easy to get them.

Lezhou is a relatively backward place in Qing Kingdom, and the development of martial arts is naturally not very high, so it is even more difficult to get a book on internal power.

Chen Qiye has been asking people through his family for several days, but there is still no definite news.

Just as Chen Qiye was thinking of this, the servant came trotting in and brought him the good news.

"Master, Master Liu has brought good news."

Chen Qiye stood up immediately. He asked someone to inquire about the channel to buy the martial arts skills, and the person he found was Liu Qin, the second son of the Liu family. It seems that he really did speak of the devil.

Chen Qiye walked up to the servant Liu Zi and asked, "Where is Young Master Liu?"

Liuzi straightened his butler's hat that was tilted by running, swallowed his saliva and handed over a letter with both hands: "Master, Master Liu just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the matter you asked Master Liu to inquire about has been resolved. You will know when you read the letter."

Chen Qiye immediately opened the letter and found only about ten words on it: See you tonight at Yingchun Tower. I'll have what you want.

"What the hell, can't you just tell me what you're doing in a brothel?"

However, he also knew the playboy character of Liu Qin, who liked to visit brothels and discuss everything there. He put away the envelope and waved his hand: "The messenger should still be waiting for my reply! Tell him to go back and tell them that the young master will be there on time."

"Yes, Master."

You will definitely sweat when practicing archery in such hot weather. Although the sweat has dried now, it would be very uncomfortable if you don’t take a shower.

So Chen Qiye told the maid to prepare hot water and clothes, wash them, and go check the situation in the evening.

Compared to other young men who spend their days in debauchery and doing nothing, Chen Qiye is a man of great potential. Not only is he willing to study hard, but he also practices martial arts diligently every day. Therefore, Chen Qiye's father loves this good son so much that he supports him in everything he does.

Chen Qiye went to discuss with his father, saying that he might have to spend a large sum of money from the family. Chen Guang agreed without even thinking about it. When he heard that his son wanted to practice martial arts, he took the initiative to sponsor him with money, and told him that if the money was not enough, he could move back home.

After getting his father's strong support, Chen Qiye happily returned to his room and found that the hot water was ready.

Several maids were waiting there in an orderly manner, including Xiaoling, who had just run away after being spanked by Chen Qiye.

Chen Qiye waved his hand: "Others go out, Xiaoling stay."

"Yes, Master."

Soon, they were the only two left in the room.

Xiaoling bit her red lips, lowered her head, and nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes, not daring to look up at all.
