24 hours to save the world

At noon, at the gate of an archery hall.

It was the time when the archery hall just opened in the afternoon, and a young man wearing a casual thickened sportswear appeared in the archery hall.

The person who came was Zhu Shijiu.

Standing next to Zhu Shijiu was a young and beautiful female coach with a curvy figure.

The woman had a ponytail with long black hair hanging behind her head. She wore a slightly transparent white short-sleeved shirt, and her slightly muscular arms were exposed to the air. Her every move was elegant. When you get close to her, you can smell the perfume of an unknown brand.

She was very beautiful and came to tutor him individually, because Zhu Shijiu had just recharged 5,000 yuan and basically spent all the money in the card to sign up for a course.

For this newly opened archery hall, he is indeed a big sponsor.

The female coach asked: "Mr. Zhu, do you usually play with bows and arrows?"

"No." Zhu Shijiu answered honestly.

"Then it seems that you don't know much about bows and arrows?"

The female coach looked very accustomed to it. When many newbies first came into contact with bows and arrows, they watched a few videos online and thought they were cool, so they came to play. However, it was rare for someone like Zhu Shijiu to spend 5,000 yuan to sign up for a course without saying a word.

"Why don't I explain to you the types of bows and arrows first, depending on what type of bows and arrows you want to use. Generally speaking, according to the course you sign up for, we will teach every type of bows and arrows, but when playing bows and arrows in normal times, I suggest you choose a focus. When you first learn to bow, you can learn the one you are more interested in..."

Zhu Shijiu then looked down at the work permit hanging on the chest of the female coach. The honor column on it read "2039 Jiang Province Recurve Bow Archery Competition Champion", and the name was Du Fei.

Du Fei was stuck for a moment.

I said to learn the bows I am more interested in first, why are you looking at my chest?

Zhu Shijiu was not interested in listening to her introduction to the origin history of each bow and arrow. He was more concerned about the level of this coach.

He asked, "Have you ever won the provincial archery championship?"

Du Fei nodded: "I won the provincial championship when I was in school, which is also a small honor. Although the competition used a recurve bow, I am also good at compound bows and traditional bows, and I can teach them."

"Which of these three bows is easier to learn?"

"There is no easy bow to learn. Each type of bow has its own difficulties. I can only say that different bows are suitable for different people. I personally think that compound bows are the easiest to learn. Generally, beginners will choose compound bows because they are easy to use and more powerful than recurve bows and traditional bows..."

Du Fei hesitated for a while and said in a serious and responsible attitude.

"...But I don't recommend learning compound bows first, because once you get the hang of compound bows, it's hard to get the hang of other bows. Secondly, you need to learn how to adjust the compound bow, and it takes a while for a novice who knows nothing to get the hang of it."

"My suggestion is to try out the traditional bow first to get a feel for it, then take the recurve bow course, and finally the compound bow."

The only bow Zhu Shijiu knows a little about among the three types of bows is the compound bow, which is indeed more powerful than the recurve bow and the traditional bow, but...he thought of the cheetah-like speed of those men in black. Power is not an option he needs to prioritize.

So Zhu Shijiu asked, "Which bow has the fastest shooting speed?"

Shooting speed and arrow speed are two concepts, referring to the process from nodding the arrow to shooting.

Compound bows don't have the concept of shooting speed at all, they only require accuracy, so they are ruled out.

Du Fei guessed Zhu Shijiu's preference and said, "If we only talk about the shooting speed, the traditional bow and the recurve bow are similar. The traditional bow may have a faster shooting speed due to its power. But overall, I personally recommend the recurve bow, which has great power and can guarantee the shooting speed."

She saw that Zhu Shijiu wanted to play with a bow that was not lacking in power, easy to learn, and could also play rapid shooting.

The recurve bow is very suitable.

Sure enough, Zhu Shijiu did not reject it, but said, "Okay, then learn the recurve bow first, I want to try it."

"Mr. Zhu, how many pounds do you want?"

Zhu Shijiu has no relevant knowledge about this, and said modestly, "Just recommend it."

"Then try the 24-pound one first, and change it if it doesn't suit you."

Du Fei picked a 24-pound recurve bow and handed it to Zhu Shijiu, and did not talk about the knowledge points at the beginning. Those coaches who like to play strict will be eliminated if they don't have a certain level.

It is not the teaching method of the older generation of taking apprentices. The relationship between the archery hall coach and the students should still be based on the students' feelings.

Letting the students to explore the first step by themselves is also a good start. Many times, only when the students encounter difficulties in the first step can the significance of the coach's existence be reflected.

Zhu Shijiu was a little curious when he touched the bow for the first time.

"Let's try the 10-meter target first."

Du Fei said this and was about to take Zhu Shijiu to the 10-meter area.

But Zhu Shijiu shook his head: "Start directly from 20 meters."

Directly 20 meters?

Du Fei felt that this guy was really arrogant, or should it be said that he was "ignorant"? Although 20 meters sounds short, in fact, when you really stand in the archery area, you will find that 20 meters is really far away. If a novice chooses 20 meters when he starts archery, he will definitely miss the target.

Du Fei did not stop him, but took Zhu Shijiu to the 20-meter archery area without saying a word.

Looking at the handle in the distance, Zhu Shijiu imagined the distance.

At this distance, he should be able to avoid the stun-inducing substances and gunshots of those people, and at the same time, he can effectively counterattack the opponent. He doesn't need to learn to shoot at a closer target, nor does he need to consider the high accuracy. He only needs to consider how to shoot the arrow steadily, and the rest is up to fate.

Moreover, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to practice at that time, and I don't know how many times he will have to go back.

While thinking, while clumsily putting the arrow, Zhu Shijiu realized the difficulty of archery for novices.

This is a completely new experience. Not to mention the posture, he can't even master the most basic bow drawing, and it's crooked.

Zhu Shijiu failed to shoot the first arrow, and he didn't feel ashamed, but turned his head to look at Du Fei.

This is when the role of the coach is reflected.

Du Fei personally demonstrated it once, using an extremely standard and beautiful posture to put the bow and shoot the arrow... Phew! She didn't even aim, the arrow made a slight sound of breaking through the air and hit the target, hitting the target with a nine-ring.

She whistled, looking very relaxed.

"Pah, pah, pah." Zhu Shijiu clapped.

Du Fei turned around and handed the bow and arrow to Zhu Shijiu: "There's no need to be so anxious, the course is long, it's better to get familiar with ten meters before challenging twenty meters."

Zhu Shijiu shook his head.

He didn't come to learn archery just to pursue accuracy.

He mainly wanted to grasp the distance. He had to force himself to remember how far twenty meters was through thousands of practice, so that he would be able to fight against the group of black-clad men. The ten-meter target would only interfere with his sense of distance.

Du Fei felt that Zhu Shijiu made many mistakes that novices make, that is, he was too ambitious. But she just frowned slightly, but didn't continue to persuade him.

Forget it, let the boss be happy.

She asked Zhu Shijiu to draw the bow again. This time, she did not just watch and say nothing. Instead, she began to seriously instruct Zhu Shijiu on the problems he had when drawing the bow and how to improve them. She even corrected him twice.

So, under such careful guidance, Zhu Shijiu shot the first arrow.

... Well, it missed the target as expected.

Du Fei tried not to show any strange expression, and Zhu Shijiu did not feel embarrassed, but continued to draw arrows and shoot.

Many girls can play with a 24-pound bow. As an adult male college student, Zhu Shijiu is better than girls in terms of physical strength and endurance. He did not feel tired after shooting all the ten arrows in the quiver.

Du Fei walked over and looked at the target. After a long time, he tactfully said: "Well... Mr. Zhu, you have good physical strength."

Zhu Shijiu: "..."

All ten arrows missed the target. Even if Du Fei wanted to compliment him, she could not find the words.

However, considering that Zhu Shijiu was a novice, it was not good to be too strict. It was just that she found a problem while watching just now.

"Mr. Zhu, why don't you aim when you shoot?" What she didn't say was that if you can take the time to aim, you might at least hit the target.

"Oh, I don't like aiming." Zhu Shijiu said casually.

Du Fei: "..." It's really weird. She has been shooting arrows for so many years, but this is the first time she has met an archery enthusiast who shoots arrows without aiming. Does this person come to play archery just for the pleasure of shooting the arrow?

Zhu Shijiu asked: "Is there a bow with more power? I feel that the arrow speed of this pound is too slow, and it is easy to dodge it when it is shot."

Dodge?

Du Fei wondered and complained: "Mr. Zhu, are you going to hunt?"

Zhu Shijiu calmly replied: "Yes, I learn archery for hunting."

Although the hunting is not wild animals, but people.

Du Fei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the shooting speed was given priority rather than accuracy, because the prey would flee, and in actual combat, it is indeed impossible to aim slowly like indoor training. It's not that accuracy is not important, but shooting fast is more important than shooting accurately.

Du Fei is a traditional indoor competition school. Although she has heard of some hunter clubs in China, she has never had any intersection with them.

"Mr. Zhu, please try a 32-pound bow. I think this poundage is just right. Bows with more than that are not suitable for rapid shooting."

As soon as he took over, Zhu Shijiu found a clear difference. The 32-pound bow is heavier than the 24-pound bow. The difference is more obvious when pulling the bow - Zhu Shijiu's movements are deformed.

"Mr. Zhu, lower your front shoulder when you raise the bow, keep your shoulders down..."

Du Fei taught very seriously, perhaps because this was her first job, or perhaps because Zhu Shijiu was really humble and eager to learn, so the two were willing to teach and learn at the same time. In just one afternoon, she came to her senses and found that she had taught a lot of things outside the course.

And this young man, except for going out for a meal in the afternoon, stayed in the archery hall from the afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening when the archery hall was about to close.

This way of absorbing knowledge like a sponge reminded Du Fei of his enthusiasm when he was learning archery.

He was carrying the expectations of his family, and in order to get out of the countryside, he climbed into the bigger cage of the city with archery to gain a future.

What was he doing?
