Chapter 84: Chapter 54 Dragon Falcon

The next day.

Ji Xinghuo only went through six exercise cycles and left the house in the afternoon.

He first went to the bank to withdraw money, all in denominations of 100,000 Ya Yuan, the largest denomination issued by the Asia-Pacific Community, which usually circulates only in Olympia. 65 notes, worth a total of 6.5 million, were bundled with a strap and stuffed into his pocket, without showing any sign of carrying a large sum of money.

Then he rented a horned horse and headed towards the center of Olympia City.

Not far from the Star Gate Square, Ji Xinghuo arrived at his destination. He looked at the tall building in front of him with a signboard hanging above the doorway that read four characters.

"Greenfield Archery."

One of the most famous archery brands on Earth, producing and selling the highest-grade bows and accessories.

Ji Xinghuo had long heard about it.

Almost every Ranger, Hunter, and bow-wielding Mutant had dreamt of owning their own fine bow from Greenfield Archery.

The bows sold at Greenfield Archery were at least of the boutique one-star quality, which was just a bonus.

Their main product was Superpower Bows!

In the Asia-Pacific Community, Greenfield Archery had fewer than thirty stores, only found in mega cities and first-tier cities.

And there was only one in Olympia City.

Ji Xinghuo walked through the doorway with an easy gait; inside, the decoration was very simple, without a hint of luxury. A middle-aged man dressed in archer’s attire immediately came up to him with a smile and said, "Welcome to Greenfield Archery. Sir, are you here to buy a bow, or do you need other services?"

Ji Xinghuo glanced at him; the man was an intermediate Mutant.

From the marks on his fingers, it was clear that he had spent a long time practicing archery. His level wouldn’t be bad, likely a Ranger or Hunter.

"I’d like to take a look at the Superpower Bows."

Ji Xinghuo spoke directly about his intentions. If he wanted to hunt alone, a good bow was indispensable, and it would have the greatest increase to his combat strength at the moment.

"May I ask for your surname?"

"Ji."

"As in the Ji of ’season’?" the other party’s expression stalled.

After receiving a confirming response, his attitude improved somewhat, just like everyone Ji Xinghuo had encountered before.

"I am Liu Yu, the Sales Manager of the Olympia branch of Greenfield Archery." He introduced himself, "Mr. Ji can call me Xiao Liu."

Ji Xinghuo, of course, wouldn’t call him that. "Manager Liu, please lead the way."

He followed Liu Yu up to the third floor.

The store wasn’t crowded with customers; the third floor was even quieter, with only two or three clients examining displays at the counter, each accompanied by a salesperson.

One wall of the third-floor hall was high and adorned with more than a dozen bows—Composite Bows, traditional Hunting Bows, Light Bows, all with unique designs, belonging to different series.

The one thing they had in common was that they were all Superpower Bows!

Of course, to prevent theft, a bulletproof glass layer had been installed on the display wall, so they could only be admired from afar. If a client was interested in a particular model, they could inform the salesperson, who would then bring the same model for hands-on target practice. Outside the third floor was a shooting range, where clients could directly shoot at targets behind the store.

"Mr. Ji, do you have a particular bow in mind?" Manager Liu asked.

Ji Xinghuo shook his head.

"Then let me give you a brief introduction, Mr. Ji, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Liu Yu pointed at a black Composite Bow on the wall and said at an unhurried pace, "Mr. Ji, this is the ’Wolf Teeth’ series, the flagship product of Greenfield Archery."

"It’s a balanced Composite Bow, with a maximum draw weight of 160 kilograms, an energy-saving ratio of 85%, an effective killing range of 240 meters, and a weight of only 10 kilograms, using the best-performing light alloy materials, making its structure sturdy and reliable, and easy to repair. It’s compatible with all Composite Bow accessories available on the market."

"The greatest advantage of the Wolf Teeth is its stability, precision, and reliability."

"The latest Wolf Teeth is now in its seventh generation; it was just released last year and has been warmly received by users."

"Wolf Teeth comes with a ’Sharp’ effect that allows the arrowhead to have a stronger armor-piercing ability; it can penetrate a 3 mm thick steel plate within a distance of 200 meters."

"If within 100 meters, even a 5 mm thick steel plate could be pierced!"

"The Elite Stone Scythe Demon’s Rock Skin cannot withstand a single arrow from Wolf Teeth; if hit, armor breakage is guaranteed, causing a fatal injury."

"Even the advanced Iron Guards have to retreat before the arrows of Wolf Teeth."

As he spoke, Liu Yu’s face was filled with pride, "Although the Wolf Teeth series is only Superpower One Star, its sales have always been the highest at Greenfield Archery, with an annual sales volume of over 12,000 pieces."

Ji Xinghuo nodded.

He had also heard of the Wolf Teeth series before and knew it was very popular.

It appeared in many archers’ videos, often compared to firearms, and its formidable armor-piercing ability made a deep impression.

"How much is the seventh generation Wolf Teeth right now?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

The price of Superpower Bows often changed, sometimes due to market fluctuations, sometimes due to store promotions, with a significant difference in price.

Liu Yu replied, "Greenfield Archery is currently running a winter promotion, with substantial discounts. Mr. Ji needs only 2.68 million to get the seventh generation Wolf Teeth."

It was cheaper than expected.

However, Ji Xinghuo wasn’t quite satisfied. Classic Superpower Bows were tested by the market but didn’t meet his needs.

Drawing on Ji Xinghuo’s reaction, Liu Yu guessed his thoughts and immediately introduced several Superpower Bows in succession.

"Spirit Wind" series was designed for agile archers, a Light Bow with shorter killing power and range, but capable of higher firing frequency and speeding up the archer’s running speed.

"Nightingale" series’s advantage lay in its easy portability, minimal vibration noise, offering archers better vision in low-light conditions, and providing a camouflage effect.

Hunter is a traditional Hunting Bow where every arrow shot would flash.

There was also "Heavy Blade," a Composite Bow designed for strength-type archers, with a draw weight of 210 kilograms, extremely long range, but slightly lacking in precision. The edges of the "Heavy Blade" bow were sharp, serving as an unusual weapon and making the archer a melee combatant.

Each of these Superpower Bows was very strong.

Ji Xinghuo listened to the introduction, quite tempted, but felt something was missing.

Liu Yu was very patient and knew that Ji Xinghuo wasn’t there to waste his time, so he directly asked, "Mr. Ji, can you disclose your budget?"

"Around 6 million Ya Yuan," Ji Xinghuo replied. "I can’t afford it if it’s any more expensive."

Liu Yu felt regretful upon hearing this.

If this customer’s budget could go a little higher, say 10 million, he might consider a Superpower Two Stars bow.

Some entry-level weapons of Superpower Two Stars were priced around 10 million.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yu asked, "Mr. Ji, we have a Superpower bow in our store that you might like. Are you familiar with the Eagle Bow?"

"Is it the Eagle Bow that combines the design of the Composite Bow and the Recurve Bow?" Ji Xinghuo had heard about it from Lu Yunhai once.

"Yes."

Liu Yu led Ji Xinghuo into the second exhibition room on the third floor, much smaller than the previous hall, with only a few bows hanging on the wall.

"These are all Eagle Bows, please take a look, Mr. Ji."

Ji Xinghuo’s eyes lit up.

The bows on the wall all had the same design, which was very cool.

The bows were shaped like an eagle spreading its wings, with the main body still being the handle of a Composite Bow; however, the limbs were split into two parts, with the far ends curving outwards like a Recurve Bow, while the inner limbs were fixed to the handle. Pulleys were installed at the junction of the two limbs, transmitting the force via cables.

One could imagine that when an archer drew the string, both limbs would contract inward, like an eagle flapping its wings.

"What a cool bow!"

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help admiring it, but he wondered about its power.

He had heard from Lu Yunhai that the Eagle Bow, by combining the design of two types of bows, had its pros and cons.

The advantage was that it had a higher shooting frequency, allowing quick nocking like a Recurve Bow, and it also retained the Precision of a Composite Bow. The disadvantage was that its energy-saving ratio didn’t exceed 50%, its Precision was not as good as a pure Composite Bow, it required higher archery skills, and its body was heavier than all other types of bows.

This complex design seemed somewhat superfluous and mediocre.

But it really was cool...

Seeing Ji Xinghuo’s interest, Liu Yu smiled and introduced, "The Eagle Bow indeed has some shortcomings, as Mr. Ji obviously knows. However, it also has many strengths, such as a good shooting feel and extremely fast arrow speed. Its overall performance is not much worse than a Composite Bow."

"Our Green Field Divine Archery’s ’Dragon Falcon’ series, after modifications and design enhancements by bow and arrow masters, uses the best materials and the most suited Abilities to fully capitalize on the advantages on the Eagle Bow."

He pointed to a camouflaged Eagle Bow on the wall.

"This Dragon Falcon Mark III weighs 16 kilograms and has a draw weight of 180 kilograms, with an energy-saving ratio of 60%. These basic stats are all quite outstanding and are generally better than most One Star Superpower bows."

"But its most significant feature is arrow speed."

"Arrows shot from the Dragon Falcon Mark III can reach a top speed of 275 meters per second, which enters the transonic range on Earth."

Ji Xinghuo was quite surprised, "That fast?"

The arrow speeds of the previous Superpower bows were only around 180 meters per second at most—a big difference.

"Yes, the Eagle Bow is all about speed!"

Liu Yu nodded and explained, "The Dragon Falcon is one of the fastest flying species in the Star Realm. That’s why it was named after it. The Dragon Falcon’s handle comes with a ’Wind-breaking’ Ability, enhancing the arrow when shot to significantly reduce air resistance, allowing the arrow to accelerate, and increasing range as well. The effective lethal range is up to 300 meters!"

"Of course, only the top archers can manage such a long range."

"In addition, similar to the Wolf Teeth series, the Dragon Falcon also has a ’Sharp’ effect, granting it a powerful Armor-breaking ability. Because the arrow speed is faster, it has stronger Armor-piercing capabilities."

"These two Ability effects make the power of the Dragon Falcon close to Superpower Two Stars."

Liu Yu spoke eloquently, nearly praising the Eagle Bow to the skies.

Ji Xinghuo was indeed very tempted.

A Superpower bow with high arrow speed and long range, combined with the ’Silence’ effect of the Stealth Ring, could turn him into an ultra-long-distance assassin!

"How much?" he asked directly.

"The Dragon Falcon is not part of the current promotional event and is only sold at the original price." Liu Yu said with a smile, "If you purchase the latest Dragon Falcon Mark III, it will only cost you 5.99 million Ya Yuan!"

Ji Xinghuo was speechless inside.

He had mentioned a budget of 6 million, and the price of the Eagle Bow was set at 5.99 million—just right.

"Let me try it out first," Ji Xinghuo did not immediately place an order. He wanted to get his hands on the Eagle Bow, try out the shooting feel, and then make a decision.

"Certainly."

Liu Yu quickly brought over a brand-new Dragon Falcon, handed it to Ji Xinghuo, and took him to the archery range behind the store to test fire.

A short while later, Ji Xinghuo walked out of Green Field Divine Archery carrying a large bag on his back.

He had entered with 6.5 million in cash and left with only a little change.

In addition to a Superpower Bow, Ji Xinghuo also purchased several Capacitor Arrows and bought twenty ’Explosive Flame Arrows’ that would burst into flames upon hitting the target. The latter cost 8,000 Ya Yuan each, which was a discount price for purchasing the Eagle Bow.

Just these two types of Special Arrows cost him nearly two hundred thousand.

A high-poundage bow required better arrows that must have a low flex (harder), heavier arrows to bring out the full power of the bow.

Ji Xinghuo chose Titanium Aluminum Alloy Arrows, each weighing 70 grams, costing over 200 Ya Yuan each.

He bought a total of 500 arrows, spending over a hundred thousand. The arrows alone weighed 35 kilograms, filling up the entire large bag.

Ji Xinghuo returned to his villa and practiced with his newly acquired Eagle Bow in the target range for the entire afternoon.

In the evening, he packed his gear.

Weapons, Armor, tent, sleeping bag, Deodorant, insect repellent, various medicines, and consumables, etc.

After checking three times to ensure nothing was forgotten, Ji Xinghuo slipped a letter into Jiangnan Caiyi’s room, hoisted the backpack weighing over 50 kilograms, and left the villa under the cover of night.
