Chapter 1 Introduction to Archery
This winter is unusually cold. For ordinary people, they basically stay at home in winter, reduce activities and physical consumption, so as to waste less food.
Originally, the people had prepared enough food for the winter. Although they could not be said to have no worries about food and clothing, they would not worry about food. However, a few months ago, the court suddenly collected food and fodder from the people, saying that the border was in danger and the court wanted to go to war, and it had collected food more than once.
After several rounds of collection, the people had very little food left for the winter and could not survive the winter at all. The three meals a day were changed to just one meal, which was a bowl of clear porridge.
At this time, a man was sitting in front of his house, holding his head with both hands, quietly looking at the heavy snow outside the house. The man thought about it and a transparent panel appeared in front of him that only he could see.
Host: Zhou Chen
Realm: None
Strength: 5
Speed: 2
Skill: None
Martial arts: ordinary archery (not yet mastered)

Zhou Chen looked at his attribute panel and thought to himself, "After traveling through time for a month, I finally gained some strengthening points." Then, with a thought, the panel in front of him changed.
Head: Not open
Left arm: Not open
Right arm: Not open
Chest: Unopened
Left leg: not open
Right leg: not open
Inventory
Wolf pattern (right arm ninth level normal strength plus 3)
Unlike other time travelers, Zhou Chen has two panels, one is his own attribute panel, and the other is the equipment panel.
The wolf pattern in the inventory was obtained by chance when he just crossed over. Coincidentally, it was not Zhou Chen's soul that crossed over but his whole body that crossed over to this world. After Zhou Chen crossed over, he landed directly in the forest.
While he was still confused, a white wolf with one blind eye pounced on him and bit him. Fortunately, a hunter passed by and shot an arrow in time to save his life.
Zhou Chen looked at the white wolf lying on the ground and instantly became furious. He picked up a stone beside him and smashed it at the dying white wolf. This immediately ended the white wolf's pain, and then a smaller version of the white wolf floated out of the white wolf's body.
At this time, his time-travel welfare system also arrived. A prompt appeared in front of him: "Found the demon pattern, do you want to obtain it? Then a smaller version of the white wolf floated into his body."
Just when Zhou Chen was thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts, "Brother Chen, the meal is ready, let's eat."
"Okay," Zhou Chen responded and walked into the house. The food had already been served on the table. A woman with a good-looking face looked up at Zhou Chen and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, eat quickly."
Zhou Chen has no family in this world. The woman is the hunter's sister. After learning that Zhou Chen has no family, the hunter took him back home. The hunter was recruited into the army because of his outstanding archery skills and sent to the border to fight.
The hunter knew that he would not be able to come back alive, so he entrusted his only sister to Zhou Chen. And because the hunter joined the army, his family did not hand over much food. In addition to the money exchanged for the white wolf, Zhou Chen and his family did not have to worry about food this winter.
Zhou Chen sat down opposite the woman and picked up a piece of wild vegetable and put it in her bowl. "Yiyao, you eat too." The woman named Leng Yiyao hummed and lowered her head to eat the porridge in the bowl, no longer looking at Zhou Chen opposite her.
Zhou Chen ate his meal slowly, and from time to time he picked up some food for Leng Yiyao. Leng Yiyao didn't have a big appetite, so she was full after only one bowl, while Zhou Chen ate two bowls, and Xiaodie's wild vegetables were also eaten up. As soon as the two finished their meal, someone knocked on the gate outside. Leng Yiyao was about to go in to take a look, but Zhou Chen stopped her and said, "I'll go."
"Well, Brother Chen, if you come here to borrow food, please don't lend it to us. We don't have much food left." Zhou Chen nodded in agreement and walked out.
The snow outside was a little lighter at this time. Zhou Chen came to the gate of the courtyard in the cold wind. The knocking on the door was still ringing, "Who is here?"
Zhou Chen opened the gate and saw that the person who came was an old man. Upon seeing Zhou Chen, the old man said without further ado, "Xiao Chen, I haven't eaten for several days. Can you lend me some more food? Don't worry, I will pay you back double next year."
As expected, he came to borrow food. Zhou Chen and his team had already lent out a lot of food during this period, and this winter is still a long way from over. Zhou Chen said with a worried look on his face, "Uncle Chen, I'm not happy with you saying that we don't have any extra food at home."
Seeing that the old man was about to speak, Zhou Chen quickly said, "Uncle Chen, it's getting late. I have something else to do, so I won't keep you here." After saying that, he slammed the door shut without waiting for the old man to speak.
Old man Chen cursed Zhou Chen for being a stingy guy and left his house. Leng Yiyao had already cleaned up the dishes at this time. When he saw Zhou Chen come in, Zhou Chen said without waiting for him to ask, "You guessed it right. You are here to borrow food again."
"The villagers still have some food. They just see that my eldest brother is not at home and you are easy to talk to, so they come to borrow food every few days. Brother Chen, don't lend food to anyone who comes to borrow from you in the future."
"Okay, I understand. By the way, how much food do we have left?"
"It's not much left, but if we save a little we can still get through the winter."
There is no Internet in this world, so people go to bed early after nightfall. Zhou Chen is no exception and goes to bed early after nightfall.
Zhou Chen lay on the bed and opened his attribute panel again. After a month of understanding, Zhou Chen knew that this was a world of warriors. The stronger the martial arts, the more respected they were. However, he had no martial arts skills at the moment, only the archery taught by the hunter.
Zhou Chen had not been able to practice well before and had planned to give up. Due to his physical condition, he could only barely pull the bow left by the hunter, let alone shoot arrows. However, since he had no skills to practice at this time, Zhou Chen simply added that little strengthening point to his ordinary archery skills.
As the extra points ended, a memory appeared in Zhou Chen's mind. In his memory, Zhou Chen practiced archery day after day, but he could never shoot accurately. However, after his unremitting efforts, he finally achieved something one day.
After the memory ended, Zhou Chen looked at his attribute panel again.
Host: Zhou Chen
Realm: None
Strength: 7
Speed: 2
Skill: None
Martial arts: Ordinary archery (beginner)
Strengthening points: 0
"The strength has actually reached 7 points." In addition to the system panel, Zhou Chen has another ability, which is that he can see the attributes of others as long as he wants. The strength of a normal person is 6, while the previous Orion's was 8.
Zhou Chen could no longer contain his excitement. He immediately got out of bed and picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the wall. This bow and arrow was left by a hunter. Zhou Chen picked up the longbow, gathered some strength, and then pulled the bowstring.
Although it was still a bit strenuous, it did not affect his archery. Zhou Chen picked up the bow and arrow and quietly came to the yard. Although they were all ordinary people, the land in this mountain village was worthless and had no owner. Although the houses of ordinary villagers were not very good, the yards were not small.
The hunter's yard was especially large, more than twenty meters wide. Zhou Chen placed the wooden target for archery practice and then stood twenty meters away.
At this time, not only Zhou Chen's strength but also his eyesight had improved a lot. Although it was night, he could still see the target twenty meters away.
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, then suddenly drew the bow and aimed without any hesitation. With a bang, the arrow shot out and hit the bull's eye in the distance.
