High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Is this request in Chapter 156 really that difficult to fulfill? (Please subscribe)

Upon hearing Chen Fan's words, Sun Wei and Lin Hui exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

"Of course, no problem."

Sun Wei said, "According to the regulations, if you are a Ming Jin martial artist, the association will give you a 20mm machine gun and 1,000 rounds of ammunition for free. If you are an An Jin martial artist, the association will give you a 30mm machine gun and 5,000 rounds of ammunition for free. If you are a Hua Jin martial artist, the association will give you a 40mm machine gun and 10,000 rounds of ammunition for free."

"Brother Chen, although you are a martial artist with internal strength, you are an exception. You will receive a 40mm machine gun and 20,000 rounds of ammunition."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui's expression grew even more serious.

The chairman clearly values ​​Brother Chen highly, providing him with the highest level of resources from the start.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the 40mm autocannon's caliber is only ten millimeters larger than the 30mm one; in reality, its power is several times greater!

The 30mm autocannon can penetrate 50mm of composite armor at a distance of 400 meters and 38mm of steel plate at a distance of 1000 meters. In other words, even an armored rhinoceros can be killed with a single shot from 1000 meters away!

A 40mm autocannon, when firing a high-explosive shell, can reach an initial velocity of 1000 meters per second, with an explosive force equivalent to a 50mm artillery shell. When firing an armor-piercing shell, the initial velocity can reach 1640 meters per second, penetrating 140mm of steel plate.

Even a high-level ferocious beast would be seriously injured if hit at this distance. If the distance were any closer, it would be easy to take it down.

"Machine guns?"

Chen Fan's mouth gaped slightly; this seemed a little different from the reward he had imagined.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Sun Wei was taken aback.

When you go out to kill high-level ferocious beasts, do you all use machine guns?

A few people carry rocket launchers, but the initial velocity of rocket launchers is too slow, and some high-level ferocious beasts can easily dodge them.

"President, actually I want a powerful bow."

"A powerful bow?"

Sun Wei and Lin Hui were both taken aback.

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded. "I want a bow with a draw weight of 5,000 jin or more. The higher the draw weight, the better."

"Five, five thousand catties!"

Upon hearing this, the two people in the room widened their eyes.

"Young Master Chen, are you sure you want a bow weighing five thousand catties?"

Sun Wei was speechless.

Even now, he can't draw that bow.

"Yes, I'm sure," Chen Fan nodded with a smile.

Sun Wei and his companion exchanged another glance.

"President, is this request difficult to fulfill?"

"This is difficult, yet not difficult."

Sun Wei said, "The bow is made directly of alloy, and the material for the bowstring is not hard to find. Some high-level ferocious beasts, weighing nearly ten tons, can still jump more than ten or twenty meters high, which shows their fascial elasticity. But, do you really want to choose a 5,000-jin bow instead of a 40mm machine gun?"

When he arrived, he felt that Chen Fan's ambitions were too great. A pulling force of five thousand jin is equivalent to lifting a five thousand jin weight with one hand. Only martial artists above the Meridian Refining Realm in the association can achieve this level of strength.

Secondly, a bow with a draw weight of 5,000 jin has a shorter range than a machine gun, or even only half that of a machine gun, which undoubtedly adds a huge risk.

"Yes, Brother Chen, I know your archery skills are excellent, but those high-level ferocious beasts are not to be trifled with. It would be safer to choose the machine gun," Lin Hui couldn't help but advise.

"Thank you both for your kind offer, but I've really thought it through," Chen Fan said with a smile.

Based on the estimate that a bow with a pulling force of 200 jin can penetrate a 3-centimeter-thick steel plate within 100 meters.

A bow with a draw weight of 5,000 jin (approximately 2,500 kg) should be able to penetrate a 75-centimeter-thick steel plate within 100 meters, even if calculated at 25 times the draw weight.

What does a 75-centimeter-thick steel plate mean?

Even for heavy tanks, composite armor is only 800 millimeters thick. Not to mention, steel plates of the same thickness have a higher penetration resistance than composite armor.

If the distance is increased to five or six hundred meters, it should have half the killing power; killing a high-level ferocious beast with one arrow is not difficult.

"Brother Chen..." Lin Hui, who was standing to the side, wanted to say a few more words of advice, but Sun Wei waved his hand and said, "Alright, Lao Lin, Brother Chen's idea is probably correct."

"?"

Lin Hui was taken aback.

Sun Wei slowly said, "Our physical constitution is far superior to that of ordinary people, so we can carry machine guns weighing three or four hundred pounds. In a one-on-one situation, we are not afraid of encountering high-level ferocious beasts. But what if we go even higher?"

Those elite-level ferocious beasts are said to have the defensive capabilities of heavy tanks. Not to mention machine guns, even 100mm howitzers can barely scratch them.

Only large-caliber howitzers can severely damage them, but we martial artists can't exactly carry a howitzer around, can we? Besides, their speed is far superior to that of clumsy heavy tanks. It's difficult to hit them without a barrage of dozens or even hundreds of howitzers firing simultaneously. This is why we humans can only passively defend and cannot launch proactive attacks.

Yes, that's right.

Lin Hui nodded.

This is still an elite-level ferocious beast; the higher you go, the more troublesome it becomes.

I heard that those beast kings can bathe in nuclear bombs. A few years have passed, and they've probably become even more terrifying.

Sun Wei's gaze fell on Chen Fan, and he said, "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will report your request to headquarters later. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will deliver the bow you want within a day or two."

"Thank you, Chairman. However, it doesn't necessarily have to be 5,000 jin. A higher amount is also acceptable."

Chen Fan smiled.

"Okay, I'll report this to headquarters for you," Sun Wei agreed.

"President, besides that, is there also a bottle of high-grade Qi and Blood Pill, and one free use of the gravity chamber?"

Chen Fan's eyes were full of anticipation.

He estimated that a bow with a draw weight of 5,000 jin, even if it wasn't as expensive as a 40mm machine gun, wouldn't be much cheaper; it should still cost around 200,000 yuan.

A whole bottle of top-grade Qi and Blood Pills is worth 20 yuan.

According to Lin Hui, a single opportunity to use a gravity chamber is worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.

"That's right."

Sun Wei was both amused and exasperated: "Don't worry, now that you've joined the association, you'll get your share of these things."

"Furthermore, on behalf of the Anshan City branch, I would like to give you an additional bottle of top-grade Qi and Blood Pills."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui thought to himself.

The chairman really went all out this time to win over Brother Chen.

However, it is understandable. There are more than twenty small cities like Ansan City in the Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association. Over the years, the Ansan City branch has always been at the bottom of the list.

It's rare to find such a promising talent, so of course we should do our best to nurture him.

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then thanked him repeatedly.

"No need to be so polite,"

Sun Wei waved his hand, "From now on, you are a member of our branch. I hope you will work hard in the future, kill more ferocious beasts, and bring glory to our association."

"Um!"

Chen Fan nodded emphatically.

After completing the formalities, Chen Fan received a membership card.

According to Sun Wei, this card combines an ID card and a bank card, so it can be used to check into any branch in the Jiangnan District, consume contribution points, and purchase weapons and martial arts techniques.

Even if you leave Gangnam District and go to other places, you can still enter and check in.

In addition, he was given a mobile phone, which allowed him to contact the branch anytime, anywhere via satellite.

"Come on, I'll take you to the third floor. That's the activity area. Only martial artists at the Advanced Level can swipe their cards to enter. It's also where you'll receive missions and exchange resources later."

Sun Wei led Chen Fan into the elevator, while Lin Hui left first.

Upon reaching the third floor, the elevator doors opened, revealing an extremely spacious tea room with exquisite decor and the aroma of food wafting through the air.

"President."

Two tall, beautiful women dressed in martial arts association uniforms stood behind the bar. When they saw Sun Wei arrive, they smiled sweetly at him.

Sun Wei nodded and gave a brief introduction.

Stars suddenly twinkled in the eyes of the two women.

On the third floor, there are several martial arts practitioners who have reached the advanced level, but they are generally over thirty years old.

The young man in front of them looked a year or two younger than them, yet he was already a martial artist who had entered the realm of internal strength.

Chen Fan nodded to the two men and followed Sun Wei to a machine.

"This is where the branch exchanges resources. Place your card here to view the resource list. Of course, you can also do it on your phone, using contribution points to exchange for resources. If it's a cultivation technique, you'll receive it after the exchange."

If it's elixirs or weapons, and the branch has them, you can come here in ten minutes to collect them. If not, you'll need to wait a day or two, and someone will notify you then.

"Then I'll give it a try."

As Chen Fan spoke, he placed his card on the table.

Soon, several lines of information appeared on the screen.

Name, ID number, realm, affiliated branch, etc., and contribution points: 318840.

Surprisingly, there's a ranking below it: 36.

Chen Fan clicked on it out of curiosity and scrolled up, only to see that the number one contributor had nearly ten million points.

"Wang Hao."

He glanced at the name.

"This is a martial artist from the Tianfeng City branch," Sun Wei said. "He is a Transformation Realm martial artist, and I heard that he is about to break through to become a Meridian Refinement Realm martial artist."

"so."

Chen Fan nodded and scrolled down again.

The second-ranked contributor contributed over 9 million.

Third place, 8 million.

Below that, they're all below five million.

"President, if I rank in the top three on the contribution leaderboard this month, will I get an extra free use of the gravity chamber?"

Sun Wei was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's right, but no one in our branch has ever done it before. I'm really looking forward to seeing if you can do it."

"Yes, I will try my best."

A glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

He decided that once the bow with a draw weight of 5,000 jin arrived, he would go hunting high-level ferocious beasts.

After all, the benefits of hunting mid-level ferocious beasts far outweigh those of hunting low-level ferocious beasts, and the same should be true for high-level ferocious beasts.
