Chapter 165: Going All Out

You must know, even for a heavy tank, its composite armor is no more than 800 millimeters thick, and at the same thickness, the penetration resistance of steel plate is even stronger than composite armor.

If the shooting distance is set to five or six hundred meters, even if the lethality is halved, killing an Advanced Fierce Beast with one arrow should not be a difficult task.

"Young Brother Lu..." Liu Yong, who was to the side, still wanted to persuade him further, but Song Tian waved his hand and said, "Alright, Lao Yong, I think Young Brother Lu's idea might actually be the correct one."

"Hm?" Liu Yong looked at Song Tian with a face full of confusion.

Song Tian slowly explained, "Our Constitution as Martial Artists far exceeds that of ordinary people, so we are able to carry a three or four-hundred-jin Machine Cannon with us, and in a one-on-one situation, we will not fear an Advanced Fierce Beast.

But what if we encounter an even more powerful opponent? Those Elite-level Fierce Beasts are said to have defensive power comparable to a heavy tank; let alone a Machine Cannon, even a 100-millimeter howitzer shell hitting them is like scratching an itch.

Only a large-caliber howitzer shell hitting them has the possibility of severely wounding them. But we Martial Artists can't just carry a howitzer around with us everywhere, can we?

Besides, the speed of these Elite-level Fierce Beasts is not something a clumsy heavy tank can compare to; if it weren't for a volley of dozens or hundreds of howitzer shells, it would be very difficult to hit them. This is also the reason why we humans can currently only defend passively and find it difficult to take the initiative to attack."

"This, that is indeed the case." After hearing this, Liu Yong could not help but nod in agreement.

After all, Elite-level Fierce Beasts are already this troublesome, not to mention those existences of even higher levels.

It is said that those few Beast Emperors can even remain unscathed in a nuclear explosion; after these few years, I fear they have become even more terrifying.

Song Tian turned his gaze back to Lu Yu and said, "Young Brother Lu, rest assured, I will report your request to headquarters shortly. If nothing goes wrong, within a day or two, someone will bring the bow you want."

"Thank you, President, but the draw weight doesn't necessarily have to be five thousand jin; I can accept it if it's even higher," Lu Yu said with a smile.

"Fine, I will report it truthfully to headquarters," Song Tian agreed readily.

"President, besides that, isn't there also a bottle of Superior Blood Qi Pill, and one free opportunity to use the Gravity Room?" Lu Yu's eyes were full of anticipation.

He estimated in his heart that a bow with a five-thousand-jin draw weight, even if the price couldn't compare to a 40-millimeter Machine Cannon, would likely still be worth two hundred thousand.

And a whole bottle of Superior Blood Qi Pill is also worth as much as 200,000. As for the opportunity to use the Gravity Room once, according to what Liu Yong said earlier, it could be worth hundreds of thousands or even a million.

"That's right." Song Tian looked at Lu Yu and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, since you have already joined the Association, these benefits will certainly not be lacking for you."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Moreover, I, representing the Yongan City Branch, will gift you an additional bottle of Superior Blood Qi Pill."

Liu Yong, who was to the side, thought to himself that the President had really gone all out this time to win over Young Brother Lu.

But thinking about it carefully, it was understandable; in the Nanshan District Martial Arts Association, there are over twenty small city branches of the same scale as Yongan City.

Over these years, the Yongan City Branch has always been at the bottom among them. Now that such an excellent seedling has finally appeared, it is only natural to cultivate him with all their might.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly thanked him repeatedly.

"No need to be so polite," Song Tian waved his hand and said kindly, "From now on, you are an important member of our Branch. I hope you will work hard in the future, hunt more Fierce Beasts, and add glory to our Association."

"Yes!" Lu Yu nodded heavily, his eyes filled with firmness and determination.

Afterwards, Lu Yu finished the relevant procedures, and a membership card appeared in his hand.

According to Song Tian's introduction, this card has powerful functions, combining the functions of an ID card and a bank card into one.

Relying on it, Lu Yu can not only check into any branch in any city within Nanshan District, but also consume Contribution Points to purchase weapons, Cultivation Methods, and other items.

Even if he leaves Nanshan District and heads to other places, he can still use this card to enter the local branch and check in.

Besides that, Lu Yu was also assigned a special mobile phone, which can maintain contact with the Branch at any time and place via satellite signal.

"Come, I'll take you to the third floor to take a look. That is the activity area; only In-Jin Martial Artists can enter by swiping their cards. In the future, you will handle tasks, exchange resources, and other matters there," Song Tian said enthusiastically, leading Lu Yu into the elevator, while Liu Yong took his leave and departed first.

The elevator rose slowly, and after reaching the third floor, the doors opened slowly, revealing an extremely spacious tea lounge.

The lounge was exquisitely decorated and arranged very elegantly, and the enticing aroma of food drifted faintly in the air.

"President." Two tall beauties wearing the Martial Arts Association uniform stood behind the bar; seeing Song Tian arrive, sweet smiles immediately bloomed on their faces.

Song Tian nodded with a smile and briefly introduced the two parties.

Upon hearing this, surprise flashed in the eyes of the two women.

You must know that although there are a few In-Jin Martial Artists on the third floor here, they are generally over thirty years old.

Yet this young man before them looked a year or two younger than them, and he had already reached the Realm of an In-Jin Martial Artist; it was truly astonishing.

Lu Yu politely nodded at the two of them, then followed Song Tian to a machine.

"This is the equipment the Branch uses to exchange resources. If you place your card on it, you can view the resource list. Of course, you can also operate it on your mobile phone, consuming Contribution Points to exchange for the items you need.

If it is a Cultivation Method, you will receive it directly after the exchange. If it is a Pill or weapon, if the Branch has it in stock, you can come here to collect it in ten minutes.

If there is no stock, you may need to wait a day or two, and someone will notify you when the time comes," Song Tian introduced in detail.

"Then I'll give it a try," Lu Yu said, placing his card on the machine.

Very quickly, several lines of information appeared clearly on the screen, including his name, ID number, Realm, affiliated branch, etc., as well as his Contribution Points—0. What was surprising was that his ranking was also marked behind it—36.

Lu Yu curiously tapped the screen and scrolled up, only to see that the first-place person's Contribution Points were nearly ten million, and the name was Wu Jin.

"This is a Martial Artist from the Miyun City Branch," Song Tian introduced from the side. "He is a Transformation Energy Martial Artist, and I hear he is about to break through to become a Pulse Refining Martial Artist."

"So that's how it is." Lu Yu nodded, then scrolled down again.

The second place had over nine million Contribution Points, the third place had eight million, and further down, the Contribution Points were all below five million.

"President, is it true that as long as I can enter the top three of this contribution ranking this month, I can get an extra free opportunity to use the Gravity Room?" Lu Yu raised his head and asked with bright, piercing eyes.

Song Tian was slightly startled, then a gratified smile appeared on his face as he said, "That's right, but no one in our Branch has ever managed to do it yet. I am actually looking forward to you creating this miracle."

"Yes, I will definitely work hard," a glimmer of excitement flashed in Lu Yu's eyes.

He secretly made up his mind that once he got his hands on that five-thousand-jin draw weight bow, he would immediately go to hunt Advanced Fierce Beasts.

After all, the benefits that can be brought by hunting Advanced Fierce Beasts are far greater than hunting Intermediate-level Fierce Beasts, and the harvest will surely be even more bountiful.
