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

Chapter 82 Intermediate Armor-Piercing Arrow

Is this the new type of currency?

Most of them are purple banknotes with a face value of one hundred yuan, and there are two or three light blue ones with a face value of ten yuan.

Seeing Chen Fan standing there in a daze, everyone assumed he was embarrassed and urged him on.

"Xiao Fan, keep these. You deserve them."

"Yes, if it weren't for you, we would have starved to death long ago."

"Speaking of which, all this money should be yours; we're all benefiting from your generosity."

In comparison, each of them only received a little over ten yuan, which was considered a hard-earned fee.

Even so, it's still much better than before. They used to exchange valuables for money and couldn't even get enough to eat.

Gu Ze swallowed hard. 1,500 yuan!

He'd never seen so much money before!

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

Chen Fan nodded and reached out to take it.

He deserves it; there's no need for him to feel embarrassed.

Moreover, he was planning to visit the weapons shop, thinking about what he might like to buy, or perhaps a few martial arts manuals to further enhance his strength.

Chen Guodong glanced at everyone and instructed, "You have one hour to go and buy whatever you want from the street stalls, but be careful, there might be pickpockets mixed in with the crowd. Meet at the entrance of the grain store in one hour."

"clear."

Gao Yang, Gu Jianghai, and the others nodded. They were all seasoned veterans and knew these kinds of precautions.

Soon only Chen Fan and his son, Liu Yong, Gu Jianghai, and Gu Ze remained on the field. Knowing Chen Fan's intention, the group walked together towards the weapons shop outside.

It was the same woman from before. Seeing the group approach, she beamed, "Gentlemen, what would you like to buy?"

"I'd like to see the bows you have here."

Chen Fan replied.

Upon hearing Chen Fan's voice, the woman's gaze fell upon the bow on Chen Fan's back, and a look of astonishment appeared in her eyes.

Judging from his voice, the masked man in front of me is probably not very old, but what about the bow he's carrying?

"Okay, okay, please follow me," the woman quickly realized and introduced herself as she walked: "Gentlemen, my name is Zhu Yan, you can just call me Xiao Zhu. If you want to see bows, that's really a coincidence. A few days ago, our shop just received a batch of bows and arrows from Anshan City."

"Really? That's quite a coincidence," Liu Yong said with a smile.

Zhu Yan led the group to the northeast corner, where they saw the walls covered with all kinds of longbows, from arm-length to longer than a person, a dazzling sight.

"These arrows are way too expensive! Can you make it cheaper?"

A man's voice sounded from the side.

"Gentlemen, I'm really sorry," a woman, also dressed in a suit and tie, said with an awkward yet polite smile.

"These are genuine armor-piercing arrows, no bargaining."

"But two hundred yuan a piece is too expensive. Can you make it a little cheaper?"

The man carrying a bow and arrow pleaded.

"Yes, beautiful lady, this isn't my first time buying from your store. Can't you give me a discount since I'm a regular customer?"

"Can we buy two for a discount?"

The man's companions also chimed in.

The woman shook her head helplessly.

Ultimately, she was just an employee and had no right to negotiate prices.

Moreover, within a radius of dozens of miles, only Songjiabao sells armor-piercing arrows; they are not available anywhere else. To put it bluntly, it's take it or leave it.

The group exchanged glances, then gritted their teeth, took two sticks, and went to the front to pay.

Chen Fan withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhu Yan, saying, "I heard them mention something about armor-piercing arrows just now?"

Zhu Yan's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, please come here."

She walked to the spot where the group of people had been standing and took out an arrow that was more than a meter long from a quiver hanging on the wall.

"This is an armor-piercing arrow?"

Chen Fan asked subconsciously.

These armor-piercing arrows were extremely long and thin, with arrowheads as sharp as chisels, and exuded a chilling aura.

Chen Guodong and his companions seemed to be seeing this for the first time as well, their eyes wide open.

Zhu Yan smiled and said, "Brothers, don't underestimate this armor-piercing arrow. See its arrowhead? It's made of first-tier original alloy."

"First-order prototype alloy?"

Gu Ze let out a soft cry.

"?"

Chen Fan was completely confused.

Original alloy?

Or is it first-order?

"Looks like this guy knows his stuff."

Zhu Yan put down the quiver and picked up a steel plate from the side. "This is a steel plate that is half a centimeter thick. If you gentlemen are worried, you can check it."

Liu Yong looked at the others, reached out and took it, examined it, and nodded, saying, "It's definitely a steel plate."

Zhu Yan picked up another armor-piercing arrow and ran it across the steel plate, leaving a deep scratch immediately.

The group's eyes widened immediately.

"I have the strength to do this much. If you asked a few of the older guys to do it, they could cut this steel plate in half."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Chen Fan took the steel plate, held the armor-piercing arrow in one hand, and with force, the arrowhead slowly pierced into the steel plate, then with a soft "plop" it came out.

"That's amazing."

His eyes lit up.

If we were to use these armor-piercing arrows to deal with intermediate-level ferocious beasts, wouldn't they be even more powerful?

"That's impressive."

"Is this the armor-piercing arrow?"

"If an armored rhinoceros were to take an arrow like that, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand it."

Yes, that's right.

Zhu Yan smiled and nodded: "This armor-piercing arrow is actually a mid-level armor-piercing arrow, specially designed to deal with mid-level ferocious beasts. Even an armored rhinoceros can be killed within a hundred meters with this kind of arrow and a strong bow weighing a hundred catties."

Several people gasped.

In their minds, the armored rhinoceros was a god-like being, and they would usually avoid it if they saw it.

"From what I overheard those people talking earlier, these armor-piercing arrows are quite expensive?" Chen Fan asked.

"Yes, two hundred yuan a piece."

"However, it's definitely worth the price."

Zhu Yan hurriedly replied.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

"Two hundred yuan a piece..."

Chen Guodong gasped. If he remembered correctly, a bow with a draw weight of 100 jin (50 kg) only cost around 100 yuan.

Does that mean this one arrow is equivalent to two bows?

"I'll buy three."

After a brief hesitation, Chen Fan made his decision.

After all, isn't money meant to be spent?

With this armor-piercing arrow, he was confident that he could kill an armored rhinoceros within two hundred meters if he encountered one.

As for other intermediate-level ferocious beasts, they are even less of a concern.

Chen Guodong and the others exchanged glances, none of them objecting.

Firstly, the money belonged to Chen Fan, so he could spend it however he wanted. Secondly, the armor-piercing arrow was indeed powerful; although expensive, it was worth buying.

"Okay, okay, thank you, boss."

Zhu Yan bowed several times in a row. Three armor-piercing arrows, six hundred yuan, and she could get a commission of several tens of yuan!

Thinking of this, she asked again, "Boss, a new batch of heavy arrows has arrived. Would you like to take a look?"

"Heavy arrows?"

Chen Fan became interested. "Let me see."
