24 hours to save the world

On the morning of November 7, 2045, Zhu Shijiu ushered in a new morning.

I'm going to die again today.

He knew this very clearly, but the strange thing was that he did not feel panic, but felt a strange kind of calm, as if what was about to happen was just an ordinary trivial matter that did not cause the slightest disturbance in his heart.

Wash, brush teeth, go out for breakfast, then return to the hotel.

Yesterday, he spent half a day in the archery hall. He was so tired that he found a hotel outside the school to stay. When he got up this morning, his muscles were still extremely sore, but at least he had gained something. The newbie, who knew nothing, was successfully promoted to become an archery novice.

In the process of learning archery, there is no need to think about the impending doomsday or how to deal with those powerful men in black. The pressure on your shoulders disappears as arrows fly away from the string. Lighten up little by little.

This is undoubtedly a kind of spiritual medicine for Zhu Shijiu, who is nervous about every death.

He chatted easily with Du Fei, the female coach who had just become a friend yesterday.

"...According to my experience, if you think about how to hit the target every time you shoot an arrow, you will miss most of the time because your mind is not calm. If you want to hit the red heart, you must first learn how to hit the target. Let your mind calm down.”

Of course the only thing the two could talk about was archery.

Zhu Shijiu smiled and replied: "I think my heart is quite peaceful now. Unfortunately, I don't have a bow around me now, so I can't try to see if I have improved compared to yesterday. By the way, Coach Du, do you know if Jiang Cheng is better?" Can you recommend a good bow and arrow equipment store?”

"Haha, do you want a bow? I have a recurve bow at home that has only been used for a few years. How about selling it to you cheaper?"

Zhu Shijiu was not afraid of Du Fei cheating him, so he responded without much thought: "That's good."

"Really?" Du Fei was a little surprised. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect Zhu Shijiu to really agree. Does this person really have so much money that he has nowhere to spend it?

Du Fei hesitated for a while, and then said: "I think it's better for me to take a photo for you. The quality is pretty good, and you can see it through the photo."

Zhu Shijiu pretended to be knowledgeable and answered: "I can only tell whether a bow is good or not by using it. How can I get the full picture just by looking at the photos?"

"But it's already nine o'clock now, and I have to go to work in an hour. How about I take the bow to the archery hall when I go to work later?"

At ten o'clock you are gone and you are still at work?

Zhu Shijiu naturally couldn't say what was in his heart, but replied: "It's okay, I have to go to the archery hall later anyway."

"Are you still here today? You've been shooting arrows all day yesterday, aren't you tired?"

Du Fei was really surprised.

"It's better to rest today and don't damage your body."

She felt that Zhu Shijiu's interest was even higher than yesterday. She thought that according to Zhu Shijiu's crazy archery training method yesterday, he had to take a day off today no matter what. Now it seems that she underestimated Zhu Shijiu's enthusiasm.

"Haha, my body recovers relatively quickly, and I feel like I can still shoot hundreds of arrows. Can your archery studio open early?"

As an archery gym coach, of course she had the key to the archery gym. On weekdays, it wouldn't be a big deal if she arrived more than half an hour early, so she thought about it and agreed. Who can resist money?

"Okay, I'll bring my bow later, and you can try it out."

Half an hour later, Zhu Shijiu and Du Fei met at the entrance of the archery hall.

Zhu Shijiu saw Du Fei's bow.

There is no fancy design, the bow body is brown and black, and the alloy limbs reflect quietly in the sunlight. Zhu Shijiu's first reaction to this bow was "very simple". When he saw some wear marks on the bow, his second reaction was "this is an old bow".

Seeing the surprise in Zhu Shijiu's eyes, Du Fei asked.

"Disappointed?"

"No, it's just a little strange. This bow is different from the bow in the archery studio."

"It's definitely different."

Du Fei nodded, with some memories in her eyes, and gently touched the bow in her hand, answering Zhu Shijiu's doubts.

“The bows used in the archery hall are competitive bows, and their structure is more inclined to the recurve bows made with modern technology, but this bow is different. This bow can also be called a traditional bow, and it has the advantages of a modern recurve bow. , but also has the characteristics of a traditional bow. Before I came into contact with the modern competitive recurve bow, I had always used it to practice archery.”

Zhu Shijiu thought of what Du Fei said yesterday. She said that she started practicing with traditional bows, and then slowly started to get into contact with modern recurve bows and compound bows.

Is this the traditional bow Du Fei mentioned?

"It is said that a few decades ago, the concepts of recurve bows and traditional bows were not so clear-cut. At that time, many people liked to play archery. But as time goes by, more and more young people are playing firearms. As a result, the archery industry was not prosperous, and many bows with no distinctive features were gradually eliminated and disappeared from the industry.”

"Since that time, there has been a clear distinction between modern recurve bows and traditional bows, and this bow is probably not something you can find in the industry today. It is as powerful as a modern recurve bow. , but also has the shooting speed of a traditional bow, which is a true masterpiece.”

Du Fei said this.

Zhu Shijiu's dull eyes finally changed: "Who is this master?"

Du Fei's face turned red with embarrassment: "It's my grandfather, who is not well-known in the industry."

Zhu Shijiu: "..."

Du Fei said quickly: "But although my grandfather is not famous, he is a real archery master! My archery skills are passed down to my grandfather. If it weren't for the fact that non-competitive bows are not allowed to be used in competitions, I would have Become a national-level athlete!”

Whether this was Wang Po's selling melons and boasting, or whether it was true, Zhu Shijiu couldn't tell, but he knew that what he needed now was to improve his archery skills at all costs so that he could stand a chance against those men in black. force.

So he asked politely: "Coach Du, is your grandfather still alive?"

The answer he got disappointed him: "No, grandpa has passed away a long time ago."

Zhu Shijiu felt regretful. He thought he had met an expert hermit, but he didn't expect that the expert hermit had become an expert in the underworld.

Du Fei saw that Zhu Shijiu was disappointed, so she picked up the bow in her hand: "Although grandpa passed away, the bow he made remains. Don't underestimate this bow. Most of the bows on the market now are purely about power or accuracy. There are very few that have both at the same time, and this bow is a peerless bow.”

After finishing speaking, as if to prove this point, Du Fei warmed up for a while, then brought Zhu Shijiu to the training area.

Just like yesterday when she demonstrated the archery posture of a recurve bow in front of him, Du Fei also assumed a graceful posture, this time showing a hint of awe in her aura.

Just like yesterday, I hardly aimed at it. When I released the bowstring in my hand, the arrow broke through the air and flew away!

Hit the target! 10 rings!

"Look." Du Fei smiled and turned her head when she saw this, "A good bow has a soul. If it matches the soul of the archer, then every arrow will be like a god."

This statement is too metaphysical.

But Zhu Shijiu then thought about it, even if he had the ability to revert to death, it could happen. This level of metaphysics was not considered metaphysics.

Du Fei handed the bow to Zhu Shijiu.

"Come on, you can try it too."
