Chapter 12

He commissioned the [Tough Beast Tendon] to the Blacksmith Shop.

Then a notification popped up.

"[Tough Beast Tendon] + 5 units of [Iron Blocks] + 5 units of [Wood] = [Rare Weapon], success rate 60%!"

"If a blacksmith with a forging talent participates in the creation, the success rate can be increased, and the weapon quality can be improved!"

"Do you want to proceed with forging immediately?!!"

Looking at the prompt before him, Su Li didn't think much and directly chose to forge.

Although if a blacksmith with a forging talent participated in the creation, the success rate could be increased and the weapon quality improved.

But where was he going to find a blacksmith with such a talent in the short term?

Better to try and forge it to improve his own strength.

Anyway, the success rate was 60%, which wasn't too low.

After a while, a white light appeared in the Blacksmith Shop.

"Ding! Forging successful!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained the rare weapon [Iron-Tire Bow] (★)"

[Iron-Tire Bow]

[Quality: Rare (★)]

[Attributes: Might +2, Ranged Damage +20%]

[★ Weapon Trait: Powerful Shot (Range increased by 0.5; the further the arrow flies, the greater the lethality, up to 50% increase)]

[Description: A powerful bow crafted from rare beast tendons, possessing range and power exceeding ordinary bow weapons]

Luck wasn't bad!

He had actually succeeded in one shot!

A look of excitement appeared on Su Li's face.

Although he didn't know what level of weapon a 1-star rare item belonged to.

But this Iron-Tire Bow not only had the Powerful Shot trait but also added 2 points of Might and 20% ranged lethality.

Compared to ordinary weapons, this was simply too awesome.

Just right.

Holding the Iron-Tire Bow, Su Li exchanged for 1 set (100 arrows) and walked into the Barracks.

He prepared to transfer himself to an archer.

To maximize the utility of this rare weapon.

Very quickly, the will of the game system descended.

A notification also appeared on his character panel.

"Job transfer conditions met."

"You are about to transfer from Militiaman to Archer."

"Special Note: After the job transfer, your original professional traits will be reset; do you wish to continue the job transfer!"

Just like the first job transfer.

When Su Li made his choice, a power rose from within his body, quickly strengthening his body and senses.

When the strengthening ended, the cloth armor on Su Li's body had been replaced by leather armor with superior defensive power, he held the Iron-Tire Bow in his hand, and there was an extra quiver on his back where there had been nothing before.

Not only that.

Su Li clearly felt that his eyes and hearing had become much sharper.

The second job transfer was over.

After slightly adapting to his body after the job transfer, Su Li opened his character panel.

[Name]: Su Li

[Identity]: Lord

[Profession]: Archer (Initial Stage) (Ranged Accuracy +20%)

[Level]: LV.14

[Attributes]: Command 5, Might 28, Intelligence 8, Politics 8

[Skills]: Master-level Logging (LV.1), Advanced Blade Technique, Initial-level Archery

[Traits]: ★★ Arm Strength (Significantly increases strength; slashing damage with melee weapons increased by 30%)

[Talent]: Hundredfold Growth

[Initial-level Archery: The most basic archery technique, can slightly improve your use of bows and arrows; accuracy and lethality increased by 10%]

Transferring from Militiaman to Archer added a professional trait: Accuracy +20%.

And the profession also had proficiency; increasing proficiency could improve professional strength.

Besides that.

His other four-dimensional attributes had almost no change, only his Might attribute had increased by 2 points.

And he had gained an Initial-level Archery skill.

"I hope that increasing the level of Archery will also add Might."

As long as it doesn't have mutual exclusivity like the logging and mining skills!

With this expectation, Su Li left the Barracks.

He let the farmers continue to collect resources.

Su Li, with the coarse iron long-blade at his waist and the Iron-Tire Bow in his hand, entered the mountain forest again.

This time.

His goal was to train Initial-level Archery to Advanced as well.

And by the way, see if killing wild monsters could increase his Archer professional proficiency.

The new book sets sail; seeking flowers and ratings!!! ===== CHAPTER 28 =====

Entering the mountain forest.

Su Li drew an arrow from his quiver, aimed at a wild rabbit in the distance, and began his journey of bullying small animals again.

"You have killed a wild rabbit and gained 1 experience point!"

"Your [Initial-level Archery] proficiency +1, current proficiency 1/100!"

"Due to your talent [Hundredfold Growth], you have gained additional growth during this process. [Initial-level Archery] proficiency +100, current proficiency 101/100!"

"Congratulations, your skill [Initial-level Archery] level has increased; it is currently LV.2!"

"You have killed a wild chicken and gained 1 experience point!"

"Your [Initial-level Archery] proficiency +1..."

"You have killed..."

Su Li wandered through the mountain forest again; no matter what creature he saw, he would shoot an arrow at it without a word.

One by one, the beasts turned into rich skill proficiency under his hands.

Before long, the system's notification rang in Su Li's ears.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations! Your skill [Initial-level Archery] proficiency has reached maximum, successfully breaking through to [Intermediate-level Archery]!"

As Initial-level Archery upgraded to Intermediate, Su Li, just like when his blade technique skill upgraded, had some insights into using the bow appear in his mind.

Even the lethality of arrows shot from bow weapons increased from the original 10% to 20%.

But this was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was that at the moment his archery improved, he once again felt a warm current strengthening his body. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====

But compared to before, the power brought by this warm current was half as much.

"Congratulations! During the breakthrough to [Intermediate-level Archery], your Might attribute +1!"

Looking at the prompt before him, Su Li shook his head helplessly.

It seemed that such combat-type skills also had mutual exclusivity, just not as much.

Originally, the first breakthrough of blade technique to Intermediate added 2 points of Might.

This archery breakthrough, however, only added 1 point of Might.

Following this degree, in the future, when practicing other combat-type skills, the increase would probably be minimal.

But even a mosquito's leg is meat.

Having an increase in Might is better than having none.

Su Li checked his Archer professional proficiency again, and it immediately gave him a pleasant surprise.

[Name]: Su Li

[Identity]: Lord

[Profession]: Archer (Intermediate) (Ranged Accuracy +30%)

[Level]: LV.14

[Attributes]: Command 5, Might 30, Intelligence 8, Politics 8

Unknowingly, his Archer proficiency had risen from Initial to Intermediate, and the bonus to ranged accuracy had also increased to 30%.

And his Might attribute seemed to have increased by another 1 point.

None of these were fed back into the notifications.

But Su Li knew that the reason his professional proficiency could increase so quickly must also be due to the talent [Hundredfold Growth].

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to improve so quickly.

After all, how long had he been in the mountain forest? He had only killed a dozen or twenty wild beasts in total, and he had already reached Intermediate proficiency?

Thinking about it, it was impossible.

Resting for a while.

Su Li continued his upgrade journey.

Swish!

Accompanied by a slight sound of breaking air, an arrow flew out like lightning, piercing the skull of a gray wolf dozens of meters away.

"It's about time to go back."

Su Li glanced at the sky; it was already very late.

The arrows he brought, even after repeated use, were almost exhausted; it was time to go back for supplies.

The efforts of this day had brought gratifying results.

His level had risen to 16, and his Archer professional proficiency had broken through to Advanced, giving him an additional 2 points of Might bonus.

However, this was already the limit.

The Archery skill was still stuck at Intermediate, and it would take more than half of the proficiency to reach Advanced.

Why was it so slow?

It was entirely because the beasts nearby had almost been hunted clean by him.

Even if this Three Kingdoms game had a refresh mechanism, it wouldn't be able to spawn too many in a short time.

If he wanted to continue grinding monsters and leveling up, he had to go further away.

But the journey was too long; not only would traveling waste a lot of time, but who knew if he would encounter any powerful existences?

In the short term, Su Li was not prepared to explore those places alone.

Subsequently.

He collected some materials from the beasts and returned to his territory.

After one night, it was the third day.

"Ding! Attention all players, the three-day novice protection period has ended!"

"Mobs will spawn near your territory to loot your resources; please be sure to protect your territory!"

"Special Note: The combat effectiveness of mobs is equivalent to militiamen. Besides mobs, there is a very small probability of large-scale marauders spawning; once encountered, it is best to voluntarily offer all resources to avoid the territory being destroyed!"

Early in the morning, the game system popped up an announcement.
