Chapter 29 Life Trivia and Challenges

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild.

Xuanyuan walked on the street while holding his purse and counting the remaining money.

Minus today's expenses, plus the 3 silver from recycling the armor.

He had a total of 6 silver and 72 copper.

It seemed like a big gain, but it actually made his financial situation even tighter.

Because he already owed a full 10 gold nars.

According to the interest calculation.

If it was 10 gold, he would have to pay a full 70 coppers in interest every day.

Even if he didn't eat or drink, the money in his hand was still not enough to pay the interest for ten days.

Fortunately, the interest was repaid monthly.

As long as he could successfully save 21 silver before the beginning of the next month, he could get through the first month safely.

Moreover, he asked Xinia.

If the guild went to the first floor of the dungeon to recycle the lost spear, could they refund him some money or return the spear to him.

Xinia told Xuanyuan that this was wishful thinking.

If the equipment was dropped in the dungeon and could not be found on the same day.

Although the guild still locates the specific location of the equipment.

However, these equipment will be held by certain monsters.

You must repeatedly kill a certain monster on the second and third floors of the dungeon before there is a certain probability that it will drop out.

For this kind of equipment lost in the dungeon, the guild's recovery cost is very high.

Therefore, even if it is successfully recovered in the end.

The guild will not return the equipment to the original owner, but will directly sell it as ownerless equipment.

Recalling this, Xuanyuan suddenly remembered the rice-sized magic crystal he harvested when he fought the slime today.

Send a message to Xinia:

"How much does the guild charge for the magic crystal exploded by the slime?"

Just as he was about to put his personal terminal back in his pocket, the other party replied in seconds.

"Slime's magic crystals are worthless."

"The guild's recycling price is 1 copper nar = 1 slime magic crystal, which also includes the guild's special subsidy for newcomers."

"The market price outside is 1 copper = 2 slime magic crystals."

Xuan Yuan scratched his head and replied with a sigh:

"So cheap?"

The other party quickly replied again:

"Yes, in fact, it was not so cheap before."

"It seems that the guild discovered an underground city that can produce infinite micro magic crystals two years ago."

"Arranged personnel to work on the assembly line there 24 hours a day, resulting in the micro magic crystals produced by low-level monsters such as slimes, which are not worth much."

"If you want to make money, it is recommended to collect plants in the underground city, or try to complete various commissions in the guild."

"Although the income is unstable, it is also a good supplement for the rookie period. You can accumulate task points and be promoted to a formal adventurer earlier."

After reading it, Xuan Yuan typed a reply:

"Thank you~"

Put away the personal terminal.

He didn't want to walk too far, so he just found a roadside restaurant he had never been to.

After entering the store and sitting down, he found that the store did not have a weapon rack, so he could only carry his equipment on his back.

He did not even have lunch today, and the amount of exercise was particularly large.

He was hungry and chose to splurge.

He ordered a steak rice and a fruit and vegetable salad, totaling 45 coppers.

Before he could taste the flavor, he had already wolfed down the food.

He was reluctant to buy drinks and snacks, so he drank a few more glasses of boiled water given by the store to barely fill his empty stomach.

Walk slowly.

Came to a suburban jungle with a wide view in the city.

After walking around and making sure there were no pedestrians nearby.

Picked up an oval piece of bark from the ground and nailed it to the trunk with a dagger as a target.

Then, took out the longbow on his back.

In the dusk, he observed the longbow in his hand.

Speaking of which, he has not had time to take a good look at his new weapon today.

This is a traditional bow that is sky blue throughout, the color is neither too dark nor too light, just right.

If you look closely under the sun, you will find that the inside of the bow is translucent and crystal clear.

At first glance from a distance, it is inconspicuous and almost non-reflective.

Looking at the state of the bow, it is hard to imagine that this is a longbow that has been used for some years. There is no scratch on the bow, and it is still as smooth and new as if it just left the factory.

The height of the bow is about 1.7 meters, which is almost the same as Xuanyuan's height.

There is no bow window and arrow rest on the bow, which makes shooting more difficult, but also makes it more flexible and light, and can be opened left and right, or shot from any angle.

There is no string groove at the upper and lower ends to replace the bowstring, and the bow body and bowstring are integrated.

Xuanyuan felt a little strange about this.

He has played with bows and arrows for a while and knows that bowstrings and bow bodies are durable.

Under normal circumstances, the bowstring and bow body will continue to be strained when they are in a taut state.

The longer the duration, the faster the loss.

Therefore, when it is not in use, the bowstring is usually taken down and re-stringed when needed, which can effectively extend the service life of the bow and bowstring.

However, this bow is very peculiar.

It does not provide any detachable parts, and the bowstring seems to grow directly from the bow body.

The two are integrated without any gaps.

Xuanyuan suspected that perhaps it was because this was a weapon produced in the dungeon?

It should not be necessary to change the bowstring, right?

After getting familiar with this longbow.

He moved his wrist and stood sideways.

Recalling the archery posture he had learned before, he kept adjusting his body center of gravity.

Took out an arrow from the quiver, which was given by the guild. The tail of the arrow had a small buckle.

He held the bow with his left hand and put the arrow on with his right hand.

With a slight "click" sound, it means that the arrow has been successfully stuck on the bowstring.

He turned his left elbow and pressed down, and his right thumb horizontally buckled the bowstring.

This is Xuanyuan's usual fingering method in his previous life, also known as Mongolian shooting.

He slowly pulled the string, exhaled and aimed, and shot an arrow.

The bow and arrow whizzed past the target and flew far behind.

After practicing a few arrows, he picked up the arrows one by one, and practiced a few more arrows with his left hand.

Xuanyuan found that the poundage of this bow was very interesting.

It is not a bow with a fixed poundage, which means that you must have a certain amount of strength to pull it open.

It is easy to pull the bowstring to full.

He clearly felt it.

You can keep adding force to the bowstring until the force applied reaches the limit of your body or fingers.

During this process, the bowstring did not change at all and remained in a full moon state.

But the power of an arrow shot out will increase as the power applied by oneself increases.

In other words, no matter how weak a person is, he can shoot arrows normally with this bow.

Similarly, no matter how strong a person is, he can use it normally.

As for the upper limit of the power of this bow.

Xuanyuan couldn't help but think of the abnormal physique of the Harad branch president, who could withstand thirty times the speed of sound.

Obviously, it is impossible for Xuanyuan to touch the upper limit of the power of this bow.

Touching the bow, Xuanyuan suddenly realized.

Perhaps, this is what the Harad branch president said about the "special feature"?

The more Xuanyuan used this bow, the more he liked it. It can be said to be a dream bow for traditional bow lovers.

Put away the arrows, carry the longbow on your back, and leave the forest area.

The reason why I didn't practice.

On the one hand, it was too dark and it was no longer suitable to continue practicing.

On the other hand, after practicing a few arrows, the thumbs of both hands were a little painful.

Realized that I needed to find someone to order a set of arm guards and finger guards.

Arm guards can protect you from being accidentally caught or injured by the bowstring during archery; finger guards can effectively protect your thumb, allowing you to draw the bowstring and shoot arrows with higher intensity and longer duration.

Both are necessary equipment for archers.

Put away the bow and arrow and open the personal terminal.

Found a weapon store that seemed to have good reviews and talked to the owner about the needs.

Faced with the plan given by the owner of the weapon store.

Xuanyuan, who was short of money, could only order the cheapest artificial leather right hand guard and a low-quality elastic fiber left arm guard.

A total of 2 silver and 70 copper were spent.

Fortunately, the owner of the weapon store was already accustomed to this and did not show any dissatisfaction because Xuanyuan was short of money.

After the owner of the weapon store patiently helped him measure the size of his wrist and arm.

Xuanyuan took a look at the ordinary protective gear in the store.

His shield was also lost.

In this store, there is an ironwood shield of the same model as the one Xuanyuan lost, but the workmanship is far less sophisticated than his.

Even so, the price of this shield is still 24 silver, which is 8 silver more expensive than the one he bought in the city.

It is indeed too expensive.

Under desperation, Xuanyuan had to buy a half-meter-sized round wooden shield with only a piece of iron sheet in the middle to make up for it.

This shield is second-hand, with scratches everywhere and even a gap.

However, it can barely be used.

It is precisely because of the broken gap on it.

Xuanyuan was able to successfully buy it at the garbage recycling price of only 1 silver.

In addition, based on his analysis of the slime, Xuanyuan bought two extended hardwood spikes with sharp tops from the boss for 80 coppers.

He made an appointment with the owner of the weapon shop to pick up the wrench and arm guard tomorrow morning.

Xuanyuan took his equipment and left the weapon shop with an almost penniless purse.

Back to the hotel room.

He counted the remaining money again, and there were only 2 silver and 77 copper left.

If he went to the dungeon tomorrow, there would still be not enough income.

He was afraid that he really couldn't afford to eat.

He took out the delicious cake given by the owner of the restaurant yesterday from the refrigerator in the room.

He wolfed it down as a midnight snack.

He licked his lips and it tasted very good.

Xuanyuan decided to continue to eat at that restaurant for dinner tomorrow.

He simply washed up and went to bed contentedly.

There was no conversation all night.

The next morning, with yesterday's experience.

Xuanyuan chose to eat a 20-copper ramen for breakfast.

In this way, even if he didn't eat at noon in the dungeon, he would have enough energy to support his actions and would not be so hungry.

Xuanyuan couldn't wait, took his equipment, and went to the weapon store to get the hand guard and arm guard.

It fits on his hand.

Although it is not very comfortable, there is a strong sense of inferior friction.

But Xuanyuan is not picky, as long as it can play a certain protective role.

After leaving the city, he didn't rush to go down the dungeon immediately, but found a place where no one was.

Simple exercise of hands and shoulders.

After shooting three rounds of arrows in a row, he finally regained some of the feeling of archery practice in the past.

When an arrow is shot, it will not deviate too far from the target.

For fixed targets within five meters, the accuracy rate is acceptable.

For targets above ten meters, the maximum error is close to one meter, and it still needs diligent practice.

At least, he is familiar with the current equipment and has some feel for it.

He jogged all the way to the entrance of the dungeon.

There are still many newcomers who know nothing, holding signs and looking for teammates everywhere. Not far away is the familiar small tent, and a lazy new instructor is lying on the table.

Unfortunately, the newcomers are no longer the newcomers before, and the instructors are no longer the familiar instructors.

The lives of those people will always stay in yesterday.

Take a deep breath.

Xuanyuan stood at the entrance of the dungeon and did a full set of warm-up exercises.

In his previous life, he practiced martial arts for some years and would exercise from time to time. Xuanyuan knew very well the importance of warming up before intense exercise.

Yesterday, it was mainly because he was too hasty and was directly dragged away by the instructor. He didn't have time to warm up.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough not to fall behind, and didn't twist his ankle or strain his muscles.

Today, he wants to be fully prepared before going in.

Seeing Xuanyuan's movements are a bit strange.

Some adventurers looked at Xuanyuan with curiosity, pointing at Xuanyuan and his companions and laughed.

Perhaps they thought Xuanyuan's movements were a little funny, not at all like an "adventurer", and not handsome at all.

A few smart newcomers saw that this was a lone boss carrying a longbow from the dungeon.

Although they didn't understand what the boss was doing, they decisively ran over to do it together.

He ignored these newcomers who came to learn from him.

The entrance to the dungeon is a cruel test for newcomers.

Whether Xuanyuan agrees with the practices of the Adventurer's Guild or not, he must abide by the rules.

This was also what he was told repeatedly yesterday.

When Xuanyuan stretched his ligaments and prepared to enter the dungeon.

A burly man wearing full golden armor.

He rushed out of the lounge carrying a heavy sword, blocked Xuanyuan's way, and roared loudly:

"Stinky boy, you stepped on my face in public yesterday, right?"

"Come, fight with me!"

"Today, one of you and I must lie here!!"
