117 Bow and Arrow Workshop
Before collecting the grain at the end of March, Huojia Xiaobao and others finally arrived at Xiaobai Village.
In addition to the Huo Family Xiaobao, several other fireflies flying in snow, flying on grass, flying arrows, a little rain, etc., are also players who have killed horse thieves in Xiaobai Village and were sent to the Hunter's House to learn skills by Zhan Xiaobai.
What surprised Zhan Xiaobai the most was that the old NPC hunter Lu Shan actually came, saying that he came to Xiaobai Village to visit the deputy village chief Li A San. It turned out that the last time Li A San invited him to come to the village to have more fun when he had time. The old hunter often thought about the water and wine in the village, so he simply took this opportunity to come and visit.
Of course, Zhan Xiaobai was extremely welcome. He personally accompanied the old hunter to the tavern with Li A San and others to drink.
"The old man finally came here, so he might as well stay in our village for a few more days. Although our Xiaobai Village is not a rich village, there are always many fine wines and delicacies to entertain guests. You are always a distinguished guest in our village and you must treat it with the best fine wine."
The old hunter and Zhan Xiaobai were familiar with each other and did not refuse. He said happily: "The village chief Xiaobai was very kind, so I had to refuse it and chatter more. Today I will have a few drinks with the village chief Xiaobai and Mr. Li."
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Where, please! We will not return until we are drunk today!"
Zhan Xiaobai pulled Wei Xiaobao and his team of seven or eight people to the village tavern, and set up a table of wine and food, drinking and chatting.
With Zhan Xiaobai's intentionality, he turned the topic to the various skills of the old hunter. "I don't know what skills Mr. Lu can do? What are the effects."
The old hunter Lu Shan knows that his skills are very complicated. Basically, he can do the skills of the hunter profession just a little.
The old hunter has taken over 4 apprentices so far.
The eldest disciple Huojia Xiaobao learned the intermediate level [arrow support production]. Although it is just ordinary arrow support production, it is extremely important. Because the two skills of bow and arrow are the main skills of the hunter profession and the archer profession.
Liuying Feixue is a girl, she learns life skills - primary [cramp].
"This skill is great. The two tricks of skinning and cramping are unique. They are a skill that can make money. You can make money on it in the future."
Zhan Xiaobai praised Liuying Feixue so much that his face turned red and peeled and cramped. These two unique skills are "extraordinary" for girls.
Cao Shangfei learned the elementary [trap production]. This trap is not something that ordinary players just dig a pit on the ground. This kind of trap can be seen at a glance and cannot deceive people. However, players with [trap] skills create standard hunter traps, which have relatively high lethality and high hidden performance. Unless they have the hunter's [reconnaissance], it is difficult to be seen through.
Xiaoxiao Arrow learns basic archery skills - primary shooting - this skill increases the accuracy of archery.
Yiyu learns basic life skills - primary cutting of flesh.
All the above four people have been transferred to hunters, each with a 20-level hardwood hunting bow and a pot of 10-level arrows. The hardwood hunting bow was given to them by the old hunters, and the 10-level arrows were made by Huojia Xiaobao. Regardless of other skills, these four hunters who hold bows and can conduct long-range attacks are extremely outstanding and urgently needed talents.
A problem arises. None of the four people learned to make bows. So who will make bows for Xiaobai Village?
When Li A San was drinking with the old hunter, Zhan Xiaobai asked several players in confusion and said, "No one of you learned to make bows? Making bows is the most powerful. What's going on?"
Xiaobao of Huo Family was a little ashamed and explained: "Boss Bai, it's not that we don't want to learn it, but it's up to the old hunter to teach us any skills. If he doesn't teach it, we can't do anything."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded secretly. The old hunter may have certain requirements for teaching various skills, rather than teaching them at will. He said: "Do you know what conditions should he meet before he can teach bow production skills?"
Huojia Xiaobao said: "I don't know very well, it's probably related to horse thieves. I have killed a small horse thieves, and they are all ordinary horse thieves who killed. So I learned to make arrows, and they learned three other small skills. I guess that the more powerful the horse thieves he killed, the better the skills he taught."
Zhan Xiaobai thought about it and it was not easy to kill horse thieves now. Now there is only Pei Yuanshao, a powerful horse thief. Want to kill them? Isn’t that asking for death by himself?
It seems that you have to think of another way and get a large number of level 20 bows.
He smiled at the old hunter and said, "Old Lu, I wonder if you will sell hunting bows?"
The old hunter was stunned for a moment, and after a glass of hot wine, he said, "Selling bows? Haha, I live alone in the deep mountains and rivers, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. Why do I sell bows? I don't sell them or not. I wonder what the village chief is doing when buying bows?"
Zhan Xiaobai explained: "The government asked me to form a village guard team in Xiaobai Village, but there were no long-range bows. Can you see if you can make a batch of level 20 bows and arrows and sell them to me. As long as the conditions are opened, I agree."
The old hunter shook his head and said, "This is difficult. I never sell bows and arrows in my life. I only sell some prey occasionally and go to the mountains to exchange for salt. If the village chief wants prey, it will be easier. I want to sell bows... This, my Lu family does not have this tradition, no matter how poor I am, I cannot sell bows and arrows for food."
As the deputy village chief, Li A San was worried and worried for the lord, and quickly advised: "I said Brother Lu, is there no other way? It's just selling us a few pairs of ordinary bows, which is not a shame."
Huo Jia Xiaobao and others also advised: "Yes, master, please make sense." "It's all my own family, and there's nothing wrong with this little thing, right?"
The old hunter was a little shaken, but he still didn't let go. "This...is still a bit inappropriate. How can you sell a meal guy?...This is not auspicious. It cannot go against the tradition left by our ancestors! It cannot be sold."
Zhan Xiaobai's inspiration appeared, and the system probably set a hurdle here to prevent players from buying a large number of bows and arrows directly from the NPC hunter. Just let it go. He hurriedly said, "Then don't sell it. We ask you to help us process it. We have all the materials ready. You just need to help us process it into a pair of bows. What's the matter? This should not violate the ancestral teachings, right?"
"Yes, this is not a guy who sells you to eat, but a man who helps others process it!"
The old hunter didn't understand the difference between selling and processing, and after drinking too much wine, he became confused: "This... seems to be OK, help others process~...it's not considered selling. OK, I will help you process... a few pairs."
"Very good!"
Everyone was very happy and finally fooled the old hunter successfully. If the old hunter refused to agree, they really couldn't do anything. They sent the drunk old hunter to the inn.
On that day, Zhan Xiaobai took Huojia Xiaobao and others to mark a special place in the weapons workshop to make bows and arrows.
And prepare a large amount of materials. The main ones are six major materials - dry (zhe, mulberry, orange, papaya, jing, bamboo, etc.), horns (ox horns), tendons, glue (deer, horse, ox, rat, fish, rhinoceros), silk and lacquer (the outer coating material that protects bows and arrows).
The production of bows and arrows is a very tedious craft.
It took more than a month for the Huo Family Xiaobao to learn how to make arrows. The production of arrows is divided into the production of arrowheads, arrow shafts, and arrow feathers.
What Huojia Xiaobao is most proficient in the production process of level 10 arrows.
Zhan Xiaobai asked him to make a few pieces to take a look.
Huojia Xiaobao took a few materials and took 1 minute to make a level 10 arrow. He looked so skillful and very skillful.
Weapon name: [Bamboo Arrow] Level 10, primary long-range weapon, can be used with primary bow. Restraint object: None.
Performance: +1 Attack, Durability 5 (One-time consumable item)
Consumable materials: bone spurs x1, bamboo x1, chicken feather x1.
Zhan Xiaobai was sweating with this short arrow. This gadget looked weak, how much blood can it hurt?
He used the Huo Family Xiaobao's level 20 hardwood hunting bow to install the arrow and shot an arrow at a pair of small wooden shields [20]. With a "bang", he only knocked out the small wooden shield for 5 points of durability, and the arrow broke... The waterfall sweat is too weak. Compared to the fierce arrows of the draft leader, one in the sky and the other underground.
“Can you do more advanced ones?”
"Yes, I can make level 15 arrows now. However, I have been staying in the mountains before and lacked advanced arrow materials such as "iron, bronze, etc., so I don't make them very often and am used to using this level 10 arrow."
Zhan Xiaobai asked him to do a level 15, and Huojia Xiaobao changed several materials: cast iron horn x1, wooden pole x1, and pheasant feather x1, making a level 15 arrow.
[Wooden Arrow], Level 15. Restraint object: light infantry.
Performance: +1 Attack, Durability 15 (One-time consumable item)
Zhan Xiaobai used it to shoot the small wooden shield again, and knocked off the small wooden shield for 15 points of durability at one time.
Although the level 15 wooden arrow is still not very strong, it is much better than the bamboo arrow.
He used a sword to cut off the small wooden shield, which would consume almost 15 points of the small wooden shield's durability.
"What about the level 20 arrows? Can you do it now?"
"Yes, but I'm just making intermediate-level arrows now, and the success rate of making level 20 arrows is not high. Moreover, the material requirements are also very high, preferably hardwoods such as birch and peach."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded. There are not many good trees in the village, so it seems that we should collect more.
He asked Li A San to send all kinds of advanced materials for making arrows here to supply Huojia Xiaobao to upgrade his skills. With these good production materials, Huojia Xiaobao's skill proficiency can also be improved faster.
The next day, after the old hunter woke up, Zhan Xiaobai and Li A San were invited to the weapon workshop with great enthusiasm to help "process" the bow.
The old hunter Lu Shan was worried that this system was not good, and it was not good not to do it. Alas, it was all because of being drunk. Forget it, just help them "process" a few pairs, which is not a big deal. You can't drink some good rice wine in Xiaobai Village for a few jars of good rice wine in vain, right?
The old hunter came to the weapon workshop and was satisfied with the spacious and quiet working environment here. What satisfied him the most was a pile of good materials, such as oak, willow, hickory, cedar, iron, elm, cypress, birch and hemlock - these are not often found in the deep mountains and forests.
He said, "Captain Xiaobai, I don't know how you need a bow?"
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "It is mainly a bow that can be used at levels 20 to 30. What kind of bow do you think is the best?"
The old hunter looked around the pile of materials and said slowly: "I can make 5 kinds of bows that hunters often use, level 10 short bows, level 15 wooden bows, level 20 hardwood hunting bows, level 25 reinforced hunting bows, and level 37 cow horn bows. I see the materials you have here, making level 10 short bows, level 15 woodworking, and level 20 hardwood hunting bows. I'm afraid that the other two can't be made." (There are many varieties of bow series, but they are not made by hunters, so the old hunter didn't mention it.)
Level 20 hardwood hunting bow can be suitable for many players. However, some high-level players can already use level 25 hunting bows.
When Zhan Xiaobai thought of this, he hurriedly said, "I don't know what materials are missing from the level 25 strengthened hunting bow and the level 37 cow horn bow? If possible, I'd better make these two bows."
The old hunter nodded, "It's okay, I'll stay in the village for seven or eight days and will help you process the bow. If you don't care much about the quality, you can make several simple hunting bows every day. How much materials can Xiaobai Village Chief collect and how many bows can he make, he will do it himself."
Zhan Xiaobai repeatedly thanked him. Even if he could only make 20 bows and arrows in the past seven or eight days, it should be enough for him to form a small team of bow soldiers.
He collected the required materials according to the old hunter's requirements. The wood was enough, mainly high-end tendons and glue, these two rare materials.
When Zhan Xiaobai went to collect materials,
The old hunter took a few small materials and made a level 10 short bow.
10 Short bow Bamboo material x1, rabbit tendon x1, fish glue x3. Made of bamboo, this thing can at most bully small animals, so it is played as a small broken bow. In the jungle, it can be used to drive away birds and beasts.
15 Wood bow Wood x1, squid tendon x1, fish glue x5. It is easy to deteriorate and has little effect.
20 Hardwood Hunting Bow Low-grade hardwood x1, deer tendon x1, fish glue x10. Rough bows are made by hunters and are often used. Animal bones are made into arrowheads, and the feathers are arrow feathers.
25 Strengthen hunting bow Medium-grade hardwood x2, beef tendon x1, high-quality fish glue x10. Good bows, often used by experienced old hunters.
37. Niu Keel Bow. Top-grade hardwood x3, Niu Keel x1, high-quality beef tendon x3, high-quality animal rubber x20. Top-grade good bows are rarely used by people, and are equipped with carved feather arrows.
These types of bows are the most difficult to collect only the materials of the ox horn bow, and I'm afraid it can't be made.
