Chapter 538: Archery Competition (Requesting Subscriptions!!)

After eating, Jiang Yan and the others were led by Yaemikami to the crowd gathered in a dense throng.

According to Yaemikami, this year's festival differed from previous ones, with many new activities added.

This current activity was unlike any of those Jiang Yan and the others had seen during their stroll.

It must be one of the extra events added for this Rongcai Festival.

Its name was the Archery Competition.

Because it was a new activity, everyone was very curious.

This immediately drew a large number of townspeople to gather and watch after the event launched.

This archery competition was primarily for entertainment.

The general idea was that anyone—men, women, young or old—could participate in the archery competition.

The top three finishers would receive commemorative prizes prepared by the organizers.

Other participants would receive consolation prizes and some exquisitely made desserts.

This competition caught the attention of Jiang Yan and the women around him.

The four little girls in front of Jiang Yan were especially eager to join.

"Master, Master, can we join this competition? Those desserts look delicious!"

Little Ningguang looked up at Jiang Yan and asked.

"Little Beidou wants to join too—it looks so fun!"

Little Beidou echoed Ningguang, looking up at Jiang Yan.

Though Little Shenhe and Little Shara said nothing, their excited expressions told Jiang Yan they wanted to join too.

Seeing the hopeful looks on the little ones' faces, Jiang Yan couldn't refuse.

"Alright, since you want to join, go ahead and have some fun."

Jiang Yan smiled and ruffled Little Ningguang's head.

Then Jiang Yan turned to Little Ganyu and Lei Dianying and the others beside him:

"I'm taking them over to check it out—do you want to come along?"

Lei Dianying said she didn't mind; after all, today was meant for having fun with Jiang Yan and the others.

But Lei Dianying was quite interested in the archery.

After all, as a Shadow Warrior, she was highly skilled in all kinds of weapon techniques.

Seeing that none of the women objected, Jiang Yan said:

"Then let's all go together—let's all have some fun."

The women exchanged glances and each nodded.

Then Jiang Yan led everyone to the archery range.

At that moment, the range was packed with people, nearly impossible to squeeze into.

Besides spectators, many participants took part, spanning all age groups.

But children like Ningguang and Shara were still rare among the competitors.

After all, whether such little ones could even draw a bow was questionable.

When registering, the staff even doubted whether the little girls could pull the bowstring at all.

After repeatedly confirming their intent to enter, the staff finally processed their competition eligibility.

Jiang Yan was quite satisfied with the staff's service attitude.

Although the staff doubted whether the little ones could draw the bow, they said nothing discouraging; instead, they encouraged the girls and wished them good luck in the competition.

Soon, Jiang Yan led the little girls into the archery range.

Upholding fairness and impartiality, all competitors were required to use the same bows and arrows.

Since it was an entertainment event, the organizers didn't use high-quality bows—just ordinary hunting bows.

Yes, the one-star hunting bows Jiang Yan often used as dog food in his past life's game.

One-star hunting bows were the most common bows in the Teyvat World.

They were also the most widely used bows by ordinary people.

As for damage, well—if you were hunting wild boars, they were sufficient.

But against monsters, you'd just get beaten.

The damage was simply too pitifully low.

But clearly, the four little girls didn't think so.

Especially Little Shara.

The other three were fine—they'd been given five-star weapons by Jiang Yan, and since they were young, they had no strong preferences regarding weapons.

They were mostly excited by the novelty of a new type of weapon.

After all, Ningguang used a magical treasure, Beidou used a claymore, and Shenhe used a spear.

But Little Shara was different.

When she saw the hunting bow, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Before following Jiang Yan, when she lived in the mountains, the bows she used were crudely made and simple.

Why were they crude?

Because she had made them herself.

This one-star hunting bow, to her, was already an invaluable weapon.

She gently stroked the bowstring, her expression filled with delight.

Like a child who had just received her favorite toy.

For little Shah Luo, a bow and arrow was her favorite toy!

Jiang Yan saw every one of little Shah Luo's movements, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Just an ordinary hunting bow, and it could make the little one this happy.

If he gave the little one a five-star bow, wouldn't Shah Luo bounce up with joy?

Jiang Yan thought this with a rather mischievous streak.

In fact, that very image had already flashed through his mind.

Speaking of which, he actually did happen to have a five-star bow.

It was the one he'd asked Barbatos for from the Sky series weapon set.

The Skyward Wing!
