Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

The Elf Breathing Skill is a method to cultivate Spiritual Energy, and Spiritual Energy is the manifest extraordinary power in this world.

Everyone can practice the three basic attributes, but the privilege of Spiritual Energy only exists within a select few.

According to the official website of "Galaxy Online" I saw before, there are only three paths to ultimate transcendence for the power of a human individual: Spiritual Energy, Genetics, Mechanics.

Or try to grasp all three at once...

Bai E had no hope for any of these paths before, but now for the first time, he had a chance to touch the realm of Spiritual Energy laid out before him.

That is to say, as long as he could perform well, it was possible that the young lady of the Elf Race might consider teaching him the Elf Breathing Skill.

The mission description is a bit strange, but that's the idea at its core.

One can't help but be moved.

Didn't expect this mission to understand one's heart so well?

With an instant change from his indifferent attitude, Bai E gripped the longbow in his hands.

Just as the elf miss had said, the lethal power of a bow and arrow is entirely different from that of a firearm.

The attributes of the bow and arrow in hand were also displayed before his eyes in the moment of contact—

[Eaglehorn Bow——Quality: Green (Ranged Weapon)]

[Basic Parameters: Range 3~1000 meters; Attack Power (Type: Piercing): 8+(Physical Strength-13)*2; Output Energy Level 8+(Physical Strength-13)/2; Durability 15/15]

[Usage Requirement: Physical Strength 13 (usable), the character currently has no Ranged Weapon Specialization, shooting accuracy -30%.]

[Traits: An Elf-made sturdy bow, difficult for ordinary people to draw continuously, physical strength consumption +10% when shooting continuously; shooting kinetic energy +2. (Maximum tensile strength bearable: 25 points of Physical Strength)]

...

[Steel Arrows——Quality: Green] Enjoy new chapters from m-v l'e|m,p-y r

[Basic Parameters: Defense Penetration +5%, Attack Power Modifier +2, hits add bleeding effect.]

[Usage Requirement: Usable with bow and crossbow types.]

[Traits: Crafted with the ingenuity of the Elf Race, hand-polished, shooting accuracy +10%; maximum shooting range +100 meters.]

...

Compared to firearms, it has no rate of fire or ammo capacity limits; from range to attack power and output energy level, it all depends on individual abilities. With Bai E's current 13 points of Physical Strength, the arrows he shoots are even less powerful than a Type 77 rifle.

Investing time or other resources in this at the early stage is undoubtedly an unwise choice.

However, now, there might only be one chance to gain the favor of such a character.

He hoped that the 23 points of Ranged Weapon Specialization experience feedback from the player mission would give him a hand...

Bai E held his breath, drew the bow, and notched an arrow as he pulled the bowstring taut.

Yue Ying stood silently on the side, watching Bai E's actions, expressionless and silent.

With 13 points of Physical Strength, Bai E could barely draw the sturdy bow. His attributes were likely around this mark. He could manage to draw it, but the consequence of doing it with difficulty was his arm muscles trembling, lacking sufficient control over the entire bow.

In this state, hitting a target 50 meters away was probably not even possible...

"Whiz~"

"Thud!"

"..."

Hit...hit it?

Although far from the bullseye, it still stuck in the edge of the ten rings on the target.

Picked up the skill unexpectedly quickly?

This recruit has appeared before her numerous times, so he supposedly hadn't arranged for any private bow practice.

Or was it just luck?

Her expectations for humans were low, but even for beginners, hitting one or two shots out of ten was possible.

Seeing Bai E looking over, Yue Ying slightly lifted her chin, "Shoot a few more times."

"Oh~"

Bai E obediently responded and drew the bow to notch another arrow.

"Whiz~Thud!"

A shadow flashed, and the arrow flew like a dragon!

The muffled sound of hitting the target echoed.

[Successfully hit the target, but far from the center, Ranged Weapon Mastery experience +0.]

"..."

Didn't gain again.

Is training this thing that tough?

Bai E glanced at the black garment fluttering to the side—no reaction.

Continue!

"Whiz~Thud!"

"Whiz~Thud!"

...

Damn it!

There's no chance of improvement at all!

With his eyebrows tightly knitted, Bai E held the arrow and wondered how to unlock level 1 specialization with the situation at hand.

He had so much experience on him, but without at least a level 1 specialization, he couldn't add any points…

What should he do?

Seeing Bai E, who seemed to be pondering over techniques, from behind, Yue Ying was trembling with excitement. In their Elf Race, every outstanding apprentice brought genuine pleasure and satisfaction to their teacher.

Not to mention the number of rings, at least every arrow hit the target.

Is this the level of a beginner?

This talent is amazing!

Soon realizing that her emotions were getting a bit too sensitive, she quickly suppressed her excitement.

Bai E's shooting continued.

…

After another arrow hit the edge of the target, Bai E turned around and actively looked at Yue Ying, "My lord…"

"You can call me Yue Ying." After watching a few more arrows and feeling a bit disappointed—starting at the peak, hardly any progress was visible, she had been happy too early…

"Lord Yue Ying…" Bai E scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, "I feel like there's something wrong with my posture. I can't shoot accurately. Would you mind teaching me the correct way to shoot?"

This can't go on.

Bai E felt like he could hear the countdown to the mission's end ticking away right beside his ear.

Missions without a specified time limit were even more nerve-wracking.

The caprice of this Elf lady could end at any moment, and he couldn't afford to waste any more time.

If an instructor could open a teaching session for him and he could do the same for other players, then surely this Elf lady should be able to open one as well, right?

Bai E decided to take the initiative!

"Oh~" Yue Ying sounded a bit dazed with her response but didn't refuse Bai E's request.

Coming to teach something to this soldier numbered 95B27 was a whim of hers. Having witnessed this artificial warrior's sincerity on the battlefield several times, she felt an impulse to do something for him.

And now, encountering the rare opportunity when he seemed to have nothing else to do, she decided to fulfill a small wish of hers.

She had no idea when she would leave, but since she decided to teach, she might as well do as he asked, "I'll try to slow down. Pay attention and watch."

In her opinion, whether it's swords, spears, clubs, bows, axes, the works, they're all just toys you get the hang of as soon as you pick them up.

She had never taught anyone, not even in her race... so she had no experience.

The occasional guidance was more akin to that time she showed 40 artificial soldiers how to use a sword in combat.

Even without Bai E mentioning it, she only had this method for teaching archery, but it seemed Bai E was even more anxious.

Well then, it's up to you to comprehend it now.

Yue Ying breathed calmly, her movements to nock the arrow exaggerated. She was trying to manifest all the adjustments to her body's state as clearly as possible on the outside.

Archery is not just the work of both arms—cooperation between all parts of the body is necessary to shoot the arrow faster and more accurately!

"Watch carefully."

Just before releasing the arrow, Yue Ying reminded him again.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow shot out like lightning, striking the center of the target at 50 meters with precision.

[You are observing a master's archery demonstration; if you have an epiphany…]

[Teaching: Sensing the opponent's professional specialization, you decide to pay a certain price (combat experience/general experience) to learn the corresponding skill. (Exchange ratio: 2 points of combat/general experience can be exchanged for 1 point of corresponding specialized experience.)]

Exchange, exchange!

Bai E couldn't wait.

[You have spent 10 points of combat experience in learning, converting to 5 points of "Ranged Weapon Specialization" experience.]

[You have spent 10 points of combat experience…]

"Did you understand?" Yue Ying looked at Bai E.

Bai E blinked innocently, looking somewhat helpless, "Could you demonstrate a few more times?"

Yue Ying's brow furrowed slightly, but she didn't say much and began to demonstrate again.

[Do you wish to pay…]

Cut the crap!

Exchange, exchange! Exchange it all!

I'm dying of impatience!

…

After a few more demonstrations, Yue Ying stopped.

For her, those with enough talent could grasp the essence after watching three or two times.

Those without enough talent could watch a hundred times, and it would still be useless.

"Just watching my demonstration won't bring much improvement. Ultimately, you have to do it yourself to see any effect. You try again now..."
