Chapter Twenty: The Target Appears
ument.write(
Something too exquisite will make people suspect its practicality. The Bright Moon Bow and the Radiant Moon Bow gave Luo Ke this feeling.
Luo Kai remembered the draw weight of the bows in the archery competition at the previous Olympic Games, which was the force required to pull the bow full, 14-23 kilograms for men and 9-18 kilograms for women. The draw weight of this Bright Moon Bow and Radiant Moon Bow were very close to that of the archery competition, so it felt more like those noble young masters' entertainment target practice toys to Luo Kai.
Unlike the first two bows, the third bow gives Luo Ke a feeling of being real. What is real is close to the original purpose of the bow. The bow is a weapon, made by carving wood and stringing it with a bowstring to shoot arrows. The previous bows seem more like hunting and killing bows.
"How about it, everyone? Is the bow in our store flawed? Are the materials used fake?" Wu La asked with a confident tone and a self-satisfied smile.
"The products of Feng Zhi Shang must be of high quality." A young master said, taking over Ula's words.
"The Wind's Lament weapon shop is indeed trustworthy for both young and old." Another young master praised.
"That goes without saying, absolutely no need to say." A rich foreigner, speaking broken Chinese, chimed in.
……
When Wu La saw the event, many familiar customers responded. To be honest, the weapons produced by Feng Zhi Shang are really not picky about obvious problems. After all, there are few muscular men in the world who can open a strong bow, and even fewer among those who can afford to buy bows and arrows at a high price. Therefore, the exquisite workmanship of Liang Yue Gong and Yao Yue Gong is more popular among the nobility. In the circle of wealthy people, weapons play a greater role in showing identity.
The tiger is the overlord of the mountains, with a mighty and extraordinary aura. The dragon is an ancient divine beast, noble and extraordinary. Li Jingxuan is a person who respects the tiger's might and the dragon's nobility, but he would never stoop to using his long tongue to speak ill of others. At this moment, Li Jingxuan took a step forward, grasped the thirty-kilogram Moon-Obstructing Bow with one hand, and drew the string with the other. With a light movement of his hands, the bow arm and the bowstring formed an astonishing arc, then transformed into a full circle, and finally emitted a mournful cry, only to end up with the bow breaking and the string snapping.
Breaking the thirty-kilogram Moon-Blocking Bow is not impossible, but those who can slowly draw the bowstring like Lie Jingcheng are rare, so his actions caused a stir far beyond what anyone could have imagined.
"This, this... a thirty-kilogram Moon Bow just like that... is too fierce, right?" The group of young masters and ladies next to him were shocked with their mouths agape, they had never thought they would witness such a scene. When they came back to reality, the constant cheers followed, these weaklings never lacked violent factors.
Ulaq's manager pointed at Lie Jing Cang, who was speechless. It wasn't that Ulaq's manager hadn't seen anyone use brute force to break the Moon Concealing Bow before, but someone as calm and composed as Lie Jing Cang when breaking the bow was rare. Lie Jing Cang's performance was like pulling a rubber band, fundamentally different from those robust men in the mountainous region who turned red-faced when breaking the Moon Concealing Bow.
Luó Kǎi gave Lì Jīng Cāng a strange look. In fact, everything that happened after entering this mountain shop today was discussed in advance by Luó Kǎi and Lì Jīng Cāng. The purpose was to see and evaluate the long-range killing equipment of the mountain people, and also to intimidate the owner of this weapon shop. However, they only planned to pull the bow open, but did not discuss breaking the bowstring, which is equivalent to smashing someone's signboard in public, a great humiliation.
Lethal Engine didn't know that Luo Kai would ask him to buy a good bow for himself, and he wouldn't have known that the Wind's Requiem weapon shop would have an annoying manager.
In the Jianghu, when someone visits a friend's place and receives hospitality, it is a common courtesy and a show of generosity. If you offer money, it would be impolite. This time, being treated, next time treating in return, and it's even. However, other gifts cannot be easily accepted, even if received, must be returned. The overbearing and proud Li Jianying uses his own equipment, never accepts free gifts from others, so refusing is also an art.
They say that plans can't keep up with changes, and in the end, it was decided to do this and that at the last minute. As a result, Luo Kai couldn't even buy himself a decent bow, and on top of that, he also offended that annoying Wu La, which turned out to be a two-for-one deal.
This matter of losing face for the arms store was not even a consideration for Lian Jing Cang, some people have an invisible scale in their heart, if it tilts then the naturally overbearing side will be revealed, they don't care about consequences when doing things, and neither does their capital.
"Alright, alright." Wu La Guan Shi finally squeezed out a sentence, but he didn't have the face to ask Lai Jing Cang for compensation in front of the wealthy people around him. On the contrary, Wu La Guan Shi even gestured with his hand, letting his subordinate bring up another bow.
"This is the Wu Yue bow, with a draw weight of 40 kilograms. It's the favorite of my mountain tribe warriors. You try it." Ula didn't mention anything about what happened earlier and only wanted to see if Li Jing could handle this large bow. The Wu Yue bow was the most commonly used weapon among the mountain tribe warriors, absolutely incomparable to those flashy bows and arrows from before.
Luoke's face changed color when he saw this Wuyue bow. The previous Yueliang bow held in the hand of Lijian Cang, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, was like a grown-up holding a small toy bow. But this Wuyue bow would not give people such a feeling, because Wuyue bow is a large bow, just suitable for a brave warrior like Lijian Cang.
This is the true killing bow of war, a sharp instrument of military disaster.
Lethal Jing took over the Wuyue bow, his expression unchanged, swiftly grasping the bow and drawing the string, instantly pulling the Wuyue bow taut.
"Huh." Lie Jing Cang was shocked and let out a cry of surprise. This black moon bow actually withstood Lie Jing Cang's abnormal strength. Lie Jing Cang, born with divine power, couldn't even pull this large bow apart.
Breaking and pulling apart are two different things.
Drawing a bow is not just about strength, but also about posture, movement and finger grip. Luo Kai knew that being able to draw a 40-kilogram bow was a true strongman in his previous life. Being able to draw a 40-kilogram bow effortlessly, without changing the shape of the movement, and maintaining stillness for a long time is truly exceptional. Being able to repeatedly draw a 40-kilogram bow and maintain high accuracy when shooting arrows is a great archer. As for those who want to break a 40-kilogram bow, they are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the world.
Lethal Frost's face cracked a faint smile, his arm muscles tensed slightly, and the black moon bow in his hand suddenly snapped its string. When Lethal Frost's martial arts reached this level, every part of his body was like a spring, and with just a slight adjustment of muscle force, he could become the last straw that crushed a camel.
Just then, a servant ran to the side of Wula Guanshi and whispered a few words in his ear. Wula Guanshi suddenly looked much older, let out a long sigh and said: "Two noble guests, please follow me up. This first floor is no longer suitable for you."
Wu La took Luo Ke and his party up to the second floor, but instead of staying behind, he turned around and went back downstairs.
"Mr. Luo, your presence is a great honor to our humble shop. I am Ke Mu, the owner of this store, and it's my privilege to serve you, a true privilege indeed."
The self-proclaimed Kamo was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man who spoke fluent Chinese, asking Luo Ke and his party to take a seat while saying.
Luokei was polite for a while, and after both parties sat down, Kemu said hypocritically.
"I was already aware of the matter you just mentioned, and that Ula is also unbearable to some extent. He actually introduced such a low-quality item to Master, and I will definitely severely punish him for it later."
Seeing the attendant come over, Kamo's expression turned serious and he began to get down to business.
