Reckless Through The New World

After a comfortable night's sleep, the panda was in good spirits the next day.

This surprised the sailors who saw him, and Captain Jack clearly expressed his surprise: "Oh my God! The wind was pretty strong last night, and the boat was a little bumpy. You didn't even notice at all. seasick?"

"Probably my body is better." Panda replied casually.

"Does seasickness have anything to do with the body?" Captain Jack wondered, "I once saw a strong man who could stand on his fists, vomited like a quail when he got on the boat, and after three days of rest, he managed to recover a little bit. ."

"What happened to him later?" Panda asked curiously.

Captain Jack smiled: "Afterwards, of course he landed and disembarked, he was just a passenger."

Panda laughed too.

After laughing, he noticed that the sailors were practicing their bows and arrows. They came to an open space next to the pier that might be a simple shooting range, and shot the wooden target in the distance with the arrow shaft with the arrow removed. They shot the human-shaped target at a distance of about 50 meters. On average, they could hit three or four arrows with ten arrows. Pretty good.

Captain Jack also noticed his gaze and said: "The boys on my ship are still very good. There are often small-scale wars in the Southern Islands, and sometimes we are also mercenaries. I never let them on the front line, they are all Shoot arrows in the back, so that you can at least run faster if you lose. You see, their archery skills are not bad.”

"This level is not bad. It can't be compared with the shooters in the regular army, but the more general hunters are much better."

"Well, that's enough," said Captain Jack. "By the way, are you interested in shooting some arrows?"

Panda shook his head, he was really not interested.

It's not that he doesn't know how to shoot arrows, and his archery skills are already level 10, which is a level qualified to be a hunter. Taking into account the attribute bonus, it is estimated that it is much smarter than the average hunter, but no matter how smart, the shooting accuracy of non-professionals is always the same, and there is nothing to show off.

A distance of 50 meters is not far, but not close. If you can guarantee that every arrow will hit the humanoid target at this distance, then the archery level is really good-you know, they are not using professional competitive bows made by Skye (Scavenger), but ordinary hardwood bows. Shooting with this bow... Skye once joked that people who play with this bow have a famous saying, "It's all about faith."

Generally speaking, at a distance of about 30 meters, trained shooting enthusiasts can basically guarantee the accuracy; at 50 meters, if you want to hit the target with every arrow, you can really focus on your skills; further, to 70 meters At this level, if you can ensure that you hit the target, you are a first-class master; as for the "hundred steps to penetrate Yang" and the like, that is what the ancients bragged about, with "strengthening the mountain and the air is unparalleled", "flying down three thousand feet" What, the credibility is about the same.

What was the accuracy of the ancients' shooting? In the Song Dynasty, there is a note story "The Oil Seller", which can be used as a reference.

Chen Yaozi is good at archery and is unparalleled in the world, so how accurate is his archery? Nothing more than "eight and nine out of ten".

Of course, Skye also said that this story was compiled by Ouyang Xiu to black Chen Yaozi, but at least from this story, in Ouyang Xiu's eyes, "eight and nine out of ten" is already a very powerful archery skill - Skye laughed because of this. Said that if he wanted to travel to the Song Dynasty, he could teach Chen Yaozi to shoot archery and use the nickname "Little Li Guang".

Captain Jack got off the boat with great interest. He shot five arrows in a row with the bows and arrows of the sailors. Not only did they all hit the target, but they were almost all concentrated near the center of the target. It is estimated that even if there are no ten rings, there are at least seven or eight ring.

This kind of archery can already be called a master of archery. At least if it is replaced by Panda himself, under the same circumstances, there is no confidence that he can surpass him.

What if Skye came? Skye's words... At this distance, he can put four or five arrows on the bow, close his eyes and shoot, all the arrows are concentrated in the center of the target, densely packed.

As far as archery skills are concerned, Skye is really amazing. He himself said that when it comes to "technical", he has reached the limit. Even the legendary powerhouse "Earth Ranger" can only shoot arrows farther and with greater power than him. If the shooting range is more accurate than the legendary powerhouse, the legendary powerhouse cannot beat him.

However, compared to archery, Panda is more interested in those ballistas on the side of the ship.

Those ballistas were shaped like oversized crossbows, but instead of bolts, they fired round stone or mud bullets. It can shoot stone bullets at an alarming speed, and can produce effective lethality on the sails, crew members and even parts of the ship's hull that are not strong enough.

But its hit accuracy is very tragic. Unless the distance is close enough, it is simply a fantasy to use this thing to threaten other ships on the bumpy sea.

After Panda got the permission of Captain Jack, he unloaded a ballista and tried to shoot several times at the simple shooting range on the shore. It turned out that the accuracy of this thing was simply beyond the word "tragedy" to describe—— A fixed crossbow against a fixed target, 50 meters away, can deflect something about 30 meters away. This is a ghost's accuracy!

"Is this thing really useful?" Panda asked suspiciously.

Captain Jack scratched his head: "It's still useful to scare people."

Everyone laughed, and after laughing, they put the ballista, which can only be used to scare people, back on the gun turret on the side of the ship.

But in addition to laughing, Panda stopped his eyes on the skills he had just acquired.

In his "shooting" skill tree, in addition to the 20th-level "throwing", the 10th-level "bow and arrow" and the 5th-level "crossbow", he also added the 1st-level "ballista".

He looked at this skill, and casually tapped it two levels up.

I don't think it's useful, but at least... be prepared.

Even if it is really unnecessary, it can be used as a talent show when the transmigrators gather.

He then visited the watertight compartments and cargo hold of the Harp Mermaid, and met with the ship's first mate, second mate and bosun at lunch. These people all have a sturdy aura, and they do have certain skills. Panda observed them carefully, and judged that they did not have a strong murderous aura, and they should not be people who fight often, and there was not much blood on their hands, which made him feel more at ease with the "Harp Mermaid".

In the afternoon, he watched the sailors load their cargo, box after box, ten boxes in all.

These goods, of course, are sugars that are ready to be shipped to the Southern Islands for sale. The Southern Islands do not produce sugar, and all sugar is imported. To be able to get a share of this business, Captain Jack is also a capable person.

After everything was ready, Captain Jack held a big banquet in the tavern that night, and invited more than 40 sailors to eat and drink.

Of course, Panda also attended the banquet, but the sailors did not dare to toast him. After the banquet, when the drunk sailors were brought back to the ship, no one dared to ask him for help, which made him deeply appreciate the social class gap. .

The next day, when the sky was twilight, the panda had just woken up, and before he left the room, he saw the scenery outside the window change.

As planned, the "Harp Mermaid" clipper hoisted its sails, lowered its anchor, and took advantage of the early morning sea breeze to sail out of Molai Port and sailed all the way to the south.
