The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 10: As a hunter, I want to be the best
The flames, the size of soybeans, flickered.

In the dimly lit room, the Liu family was having dinner.

Compared with other families, the Liu family's dinner was quite sumptuous, with both meat and vegetables.

Although these were leftovers that Liu Feng's father packed up from the restaurant, poor families didn't have to be so particular.

"Su Mu is a steady kid. I thought he could go with you so we could take care of each other, but I didn't expect him to be too steady and not know how to seize such a great opportunity."

Liu Hai said, "Since he doesn't want to serve, forget it."

"What a pity! The young man is energetic and hardworking. If he can work as a servant, he will be worthy of our Hongyu."

Liu Feng's mother said with some regret.

There was also a girl of about sixteen or seventeen at the dinner table. She was quite pretty and had a heroic air.

"It's a pity that Nanchengsi doesn't recruit female officers, otherwise I would have given it a try."

Liu Hongyu said, "A seven-foot-tall man who doesn't even have the courage to give it a try is not a good match."

Liu Hongyu is literate and pretty. Even if she doesn't marry into a powerful family, she would at least marry a promising young man.

Su Mubai has a good appearance, but he is content with mediocrity. He doesn't even dare to fight for the opportunity in front of him. Forget about such a man...

Mr. and Mrs. Liu Hai shook their heads. "Let's not talk about outsiders. Let's eat."

"When Feng'er becomes an official of the Southern City Division, I will help him find a suitable family. We can't let Hongyu down."

Liu Hai said.

…………

call!
A hatchet flew across a distance of several feet and accurately hit a running hare.

The sharp blade split the hare's head in half.

The hare continued to run forward a few steps before it fell to the ground with a thud.

At this time, Su Mu had just stopped throwing.

When hunting, a bow and arrow is the most suitable weapon.

But Su Mu had no bow, no arrows, and no knowledge of archery.

That's why he figured out this technique of throwing the hatchet.

Perhaps it was because he had a foundation in swordsmanship. After more than half a month of practice, he could almost hit the target every time within ten feet.

However, this little trick can only catch a rabbit, it won’t work on larger wild animals.

"I'm lucky today."

Su Mu took off the bag on his back and put the rabbit's body into it.

Including this hare, he has shot a total of five hares today.

"If we sell these hares, we can almost buy an ordinary mulberry wood bow."

Su Mu thought secretly in his heart.

He had been studying the functions of the panel these days, and then he made an unexpected discovery.

That is, the speed at which a profession brings points is not fixed.

To put it simply, his current identity is a commoner and his occupation is a hunter. He originally thought that the points would increase by one point every day.

That was indeed the case at the beginning.

Later, as his hunting skills became more and more proficient, although no new martial arts appeared on the panel, he found that the original situation of increasing one point every day had turned into an increase of three points in two days!

His identity and occupation did not change, but the speed at which his points increased did.

After thinking it over, Su Mu finally came to a conclusion.

That is, even though they are all hunters, there is a difference between good hunters and mediocre hunters.

The better he does at a profession, the faster his points increase!

After reaching this conclusion, Su Mu secretly decided that even if he was a hunter, he had to be the best hunter!

More than an hour later, Su Mu left the business with a look of heartache on his face, holding an ordinary mulberry wood bow in his hand.

This mulberry wood bow cost six taels of silver!

Fortunately, the company gave him ten feather arrows, which made him feel a little better.

Otherwise, asking him to spend money to buy arrows would be a real pain in his heart.

"With a bow and arrow, I will definitely be able to make great progress in my career as a hunter."

Su Mu was full of confidence.

As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to start practicing archery.

Swish!
Draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

The sound of a feather arrow breaking through the air was heard, followed by a "puff" sound, and the feather arrow was nailed to the wooden door of the woodshed, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly.

"Yeah." Su Mu had no expression on his face.

"The moves are very cool, and the aim still needs to be worked on, but it won't be a big problem."

He said to himself.

Just now he was aiming at the locust tree five steps away.

The door to the woodshed is about two steps to the left of the locust tree.

The sound of the bowstring trembling and the sound of the arrow hitting the wood kept alternating and echoed in the dilapidated courtyard.

Su Mu kept shooting arrows all night long.

In the end, both of his arms were shaking when he drew the bow.

The arrows were shooting further and further off target.

He had to accept a fact.

That is, his talent in archery is average.

"Diligence can make up for lack of talent. Even if I am just an average hunter, as long as I keep practicing, I will definitely become the best hunter!"

Su Mu muttered in his heart.

Lying on the bed somewhat tiredly, he subconsciously called out the panel and took a quick look.

This is what he does every day before going to bed.

The next moment, Su Mu sat up suddenly, his face full of surprise.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Hunter (white body)]

【Points: 57】

[Martial Arts: Fubo Sword Skills (beginner), Archery (not yet beginner/+)]

A few small words were added on the panel!

Archery!

He practiced archery all night long, but he didn't expect that the panel would recognize it as a martial art.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. To be the best hunter, how can one lack the skill of archery that never misses its target?"

Su Mu said to himself, and with a thought, he headed towards the + point behind the archery technique.

hum!
10 points were consumed instantly.

Instead, countless images crashed into Su Mu's mind.

In those pictures, he was holding a hard bow and shooting arrows continuously.

Practice in the winter and practice in the summer.

I don’t know how many thousands or tens of thousands of arrows were shot. If converted into silver, it would probably be an astronomical figure.

Every scene is as immersive as if you are actually experiencing it.

It's just that all these experiences were stuffed into Su Mu's mind in an instant, allowing him to go through a journey that took others months or even years in just one step.

Introduction to archery!

Su Mu sat on the bed, picked up a mulberry wood bow, and picked up a feather arrow with his fingers.

Swish!
His movements were as skillful as those of a veteran. The moment the bowstring sounded, the arrow had already nailed to the door panel.

Learn the art of archery and never miss your target within twenty steps.

Su Mu suppressed his guilty conscience and tried to shoot a few more arrows.

Sure enough, the accuracy doubled.

In this room, you can hit whatever you point at and your target will never go away!
This level is definitely one of the best among the hunters in Wuling City.

"Among the hunters in Wuling City, there are probably few whose archery skills are better than mine. Even if I am not the best hunter in Wuling City, I should be one of the best hunters."

Su Mu said to himself, "I wonder how many points I can add every day now."

Having job skills alone does not change the rate at which points increase.

This is also the experience that Su Mu has gained through exploration.

For a few days he was practicing with the sword at home and did not go out hunting, so his points did not increase at all during those days.

It is impossible for him to give up. Only when he really goes hunting will the panel recognize his hunter profession.

Otherwise, even if his archery skills were the best in the world, the panel would not consider him the best hunter.

"Let's go hunting for another day tomorrow and see how many points I, the best hunter, can gain every day."

Su Mu thought expectantly and gradually fell asleep.
