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

Chapter 83 You spend money really fast!

A moment later, Chen Fan saw the heavy arrow the woman was holding.

These heavy arrows varied in size, but without exception, the arrowheads were large and heavy. The most exaggerated one had an arrowhead that was as big as two or three adult fists.

"Is the arrowhead of this heavy arrow also made of Tier 1 original alloy?" Chen Fan asked.

"No, of course not."

Zhu Yan gave an awkward smile. "It's just made of ordinary metal. Boss, what you're carrying on your back is probably a bow with a draw weight of 200 jin. If you shoot a heavy arrow with such a strong bow, it will be powerful and fast. It can also be very effective against intermediate-level ferocious beasts. The downside is that the range is relatively short."

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Those powerful mid-level ferocious beasts have very high defense, so armor-piercing arrows are the perfect choice. Although these heavy arrows are powerful, their armor-piercing ability is weak.

It seems like a good tool for dealing with people?

This idea suddenly popped into his mind.

correct.

He suddenly remembered the bald, burly man Meng Yu had mentioned. This guy seemed to have a strong ability to block, managing to deflect two of his arrows from three or four hundred meters away.

As the saying goes, "a crossbow at its last gasp cannot pierce even the finest silk," meaning that an arrow flying three or four hundred meters away will inevitably fly much slower.

If the distance is within 200 meters, he doesn't believe that the opponent can block one arrow, let alone a second or third.

But what if you use heavy arrows?

If you can't stop it, you'll die. If you do stop it, are you sure you can stop it?

"How much does one of these heavy arrows cost?"

He asked the question.

Zhu Yan's face lit up with joy, and she pointed to the middle one, saying, "This one is made entirely of steel, weighs over 400 grams, and fits perfectly with the bow on your back, boss. It's fifty yuan apiece."

"Fifty!"

Gu Jianghai couldn't help but say, "This is a bit too expensive."

Liu Yong and the others nodded vigorously. It was more than just a little expensive.

"Brother, these heavy arrows aren't cheap to begin with. They're only sold in Anshan City, and we paid a high price for them," Zhu Yan complained.

"Give me three too."

Chen Fan spoke up, feeling a pang of regret.

In the blink of an eye, half of the 1,500 yuan was spent, leaving only 700 or 800 yuan.

However, he would need one of these two types of arrows later, while the other would be indispensable in the future.

"Never mind, as long as I kill one mid-level ferocious beast, I can immediately earn back the money I spent."

He comforted himself.

"Okay, boss."

Zhu Yan smiled broadly, "Boss, I heard you wanted to look at bows at the beginning, right? What kind of bow are you looking for? A 300-pound draw weight? Or 400 pounds? We have even higher ones."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan then asked, "What's the maximum draw weight of the bow you have here?"

"Currently, the store has 500-pound ones available, but boss, if you want one with greater pulling power, you can place an order, but we don't know when you'll receive it."

"?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

That's right.

Zhu Yan hurriedly explained, "Bows weighing over 300 jin are much more expensive because the materials used to make the bow are easy to find, but the materials suitable for making the bowstring are very rare. They can basically only be obtained from mid- to high-level ferocious beasts."

Intermediate-level ferocious beasts are manageable, but high-level ferocious beasts... to be honest, even though I live inside the fortress, hearing about their presence nearby makes me so nervous I can't sleep for days. Therefore, bows weighing 500 jin or more will be much more expensive.

"so."

Chen Fan nodded. In other words, for a bow with a draw weight of 300 to 500 jin, the bowstring material must be made of medium-level ferocious beasts, and for bows with a draw weight of 500 jin or more, it must be made of high-level ferocious beasts.

"So what exactly is the price?"

Let alone the 200-pound bow on his back, even if it weighed 300 pounds, it would be obsolete for him sooner or later.

To challenge Zhao Family Fortress, one would at least need the strength to draw a 500-jin bow, right?

"A bow with a draw weight of 100 jin costs 100 yuan, a bow with a draw weight of 200 jin costs 200 yuan, a bow with a draw weight of 300 jin costs 300 yuan, a bow with a draw weight of 400 jin costs 800 yuan, and a bow with a draw weight of 500 jin costs 2,000 yuan."

Zhu Yan glanced at Chen Fan and said, "As for 500 jin or more, it would cost at least 5,000 yuan to buy. Whether you can buy it or not depends on luck."

Chen Fan clicked his tongue in amazement.

This high-level ferocious beast is really valuable. Even if you use its sinews to make a bow, it can sell for several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars. Such a large ferocious beast must be able to make quite a few bows, right?

And that doesn't even include other materials.

Bows with a pulling force of less than 300 jin seem expensive, but compared to this, they are as cheap as cabbage.

He couldn't help but think of the bow with a draw weight of 300 jin in the village. If Uncle Wei and the others were to leave and they were ever in dire need of money, they could sell that bow to make ends meet.

However, it definitely won't sell for that much money; if it can sell for 100 yuan, then the people here are kind-hearted.

Zhu Yan looked at Chen Fan expectantly, "Boss, what size pull force do you want?"

Chen Guodong and the others' eyes fell on Chen Fan. There were bows with a draw weight of 300 jin in the village. If Chen Fan wanted to buy one, he could only buy one with a draw weight of 400 jin or 500 jin.

However, he probably doesn't have enough money on him.

Thinking of this, Chen Guodong gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Fan, how about we buy that 400-pound pulling machine first?"

He could take out some more money and that would be enough. But if he bought that 500-jin (250 catties) bag of grain, he wouldn't have enough money to buy more food and salt.

Chen Fan glanced at his father, coughed lightly, and said, "Let's do it next time."

Liu Yong and his companions immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, boss."

Zhu Yan smiled understandingly, but she quickly thought of something. "Boss, I see you bought armor-piercing arrows. You must be going to hunt mid-level ferocious beasts, right? How about buying a dagger as well?"

The daggers here are also made of Prototype alloy, making them very convenient for cutting intermediate-level ferocious beasts. Otherwise, ordinary knives would quickly become dull and damaged.

Chen Fan found this explanation quite reasonable. "How much?"

"The smallest one costs 300 yuan, but it's only about 10 centimeters long. The blade is made of Tier 1 Prototype Alloy. A better one costs 600 yuan. The blade is about the size of a palm, and about one-third of it is made of Tier 1 Prototype Alloy. A better one costs over 1,000 yuan. They're about the same size, but they're basically all made of Prototype Alloy and are very durable."

"Take the one that costs six hundred yuan."

Chen Fan sighed softly.

What the other party said makes sense. Ordinary knives are no match for mid-level ferocious beasts, and this dagger can also be used for self-defense.

However, this meant that the 1500 yuan he originally carried was reduced to less than 200 yuan.

"By the way, boss, it seems you can handle guns too? Have you ever considered getting a new alloy gun barrel?"

"No? Okay, actually we just received a new batch of alloy battle knives. Oh? You don't need them? Okay, okay."

"Boss, welcome back next time!"

Zhu Yan watched Chen Fan and the others leave the store with reluctance.

The street was bustling with people, but the atmosphere in the small room was very quiet.

After a long pause, Liu Yong grinned and said, "It's damn expensive!"

"Yeah, it's faster than robbing someone to make money." Gu Jianghai gasped.

Gu Ze looked at Chen Fan and thought to himself, "You spend money as fast as you make it."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's a bit expensive, but the money is well spent."

"That's true."

Several people nodded.

Liu Yong suddenly thought of something.

"Xiao Fan, I remember last time you said you were going to the street stalls to find that old man who sells martial arts manuals, right?"

"An old man selling martial arts techniques?"

Gu Jianghai and his son exchanged a glance, feeling that they vaguely remembered him.

"Um."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I was just about to go over there."

"Come on, I'll show you."

As Liu Yong spoke, he strode forward.
