The First Skill Target

Returning home.

His mother's words and Xiao Shitou's tender voice gradually eased the panic in Chen Xuan's heart.

"You're back!"

"Hurry and eat!"

Zhang Chunhua's voice rang out.

"Okay, Mom!"

Chen Xuan quickly responded, his figure obediently moving to the table.

The food today was undoubtedly much richer. Not only was there leftover fish from lunch, but there were also a few wild vegetables, clearly dug up by Zhang Chunhua in the afternoon.

While eating, Chen Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to ask his mother something, but after opening it, he still didn't speak.

He was afraid of making his mother worry.

He was also afraid that after he told her, his mother would no longer allow him to go to the riverbank.

No matter how dangerous the riverbank was, and no matter how much he considered not going there in the future, that was only possible if there were other options.

If there weren't, the riverbank was the only place he could quickly get food.

If there was truly no other way, he would have to continue taking this risk.

Dinner was silent.

It was quickly finished.

Chen Xuan helped clear the table, then walked out of the room and began searching.

Soon, he found his target.

There were always some green bamboo planted by the doors of rural homes.

Chen Xuan's home was no exception. Chen Xuan quickly selected a suitable green bamboo.

He then found a wooden stick, peeled off its bark, and used his strength to tie the two ends of the bamboo together, quickly making a simple bow.

With a thought.

The text before his eyes quickly flickered.

Target: Master Archery (To be determined)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path One: Every three days, bring one jin of meat to visit Zhang Shan's home. Zhang Shan will agree to teach you hunting skills. After three years of study, your archery will be initially proficient."

'Path Two: Green Mountain City, Fierce Mountain Hall is recruiting members. Arrive at Green Mountain City within twenty-four hours and offer one tael of silver to Steward Chen. You can join Fierce Mountain Hall. If you make a great contribution, you can become a disciple of Fierce Mountain Hall's Deputy Hall Master, Zhang Qiushan, and learn archery. Within ten days, your archery can become proficient.'

As the text appeared, Chen Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.

Both paths were undoubtedly unreliable. The first one, three years, he simply didn't have three years. After these ten days, whether he could even continue to get food to study was a question.

As for the second path, there was even less to say. Reaching Green Mountain City in twenty-four hours was nothing short of a pipe dream, and joining Fierce Mountain Hall and achieving great merit was even more ridiculous.

However, Chen Xuan had anticipated this long ago. Looking at the Conceptual Ability, his heart stirred again.

As his thoughts moved, the text changed again.

Target: Master Archery Entry within ten days (To be confirmed)

Setting complete

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

Path one: Green Mountain City, Fierce Mountain Hall is recruiting members. Arrive at Green Mountain City within twenty-four hours, offer one tael of silver to Steward Chen, and you can join Fierce Mountain Hall. Achieve great merit, and you can become a disciple of Fierce Mountain Hall's Deputy Hall Master, Zhang Qiushan, to learn archery. Within ten days, your archery can reach entry level.

Path two: When an archer faces a target, they stand sideways, with their chest facing perpendicular to the line connecting the person and the target. Their feet are slightly apart. The relative position of the two soles is between a T-shape and an eight-shape. Hold the exact middle of the bow grip, nock the arrow... Practice for four hours daily, then practice drawing the bow and shooting arrows for three hours daily, and then receive guidance from Zhang Shan. Within one month, your archery can reach entry level.

New text appeared. At this moment, Chen Xuan's goal changed again.

Compared to the previous ambiguous setting, this time he gave a more precise time and a more precise goal. In theory, this would undoubtedly be more difficult.

However, when the new text appeared, it wasn't.

"Hoo!"

Scanning the text, Chen Xuan couldn't help but let out a long breath of stale air, and a smile appeared on his face.

It was just as he had imagined.

His Conceptual Ability, as a conceptual-level ability, was terrifying beyond imagination.

When he set sufficient preconditions, seemingly making it even more impossible to complete, the Conceptual Ability automatically responded and improved.

For example, at this moment, Path Two. The system directly provided a more systematic, clearer, and completely suitable training method for him, no longer just a simple target path.

Its purpose was naturally to allow him to reach entry-level archery within ten days.

After all, the ability of the Conceptual Ability was that once a goal was set, a path sufficient to complete it would inevitably be generated. Providing a more complete and clear training method was undoubtedly also a path sufficient to complete it.

In fact, because this thing was completely tailored to him, the difficulty might not have increased much.

With the information presented, Chen Xuan no longer hesitated and quickly began to try.

Although he had a clearer training method, it was still very difficult to achieve these things.

But Chen Xuan was not discouraged. If it didn't work once, he would try twice. If it didn't work twice, he would try three times.

Night gradually deepened.

Stars began to dot the sky.

It wasn't until late at night, when his body was almost exhausted, that Chen Xuan slowly fell asleep with his weary body.

In the early morning, when the sunlight of dawn shone down.

After drinking the fish soup, Chen Xuan continued to practice.

Meanwhile, Zhang Chunhua once again left home with her bamboo basket on her back.

It wasn't until he had practiced for two hours that Chen Xuan opened his Conceptual Ability again, preparing to acquire food.

This time, his requirements weren't too high.

Acquiring food wasn't a big problem.

In the fields, he caught three frogs and one loach. On an old locust tree to the right of the village, he found a few bird eggs. Because the bird's nest was in a very hidden location and clearly hadn't been there long, it hadn't been discovered by others. It was just a pity it couldn't hide from Chen Xuan, this guy with a cheat.

Compared to yesterday's food, today's acquisition was undoubtedly much less, but it was enough to eat for a day. More importantly, it was safe enough.

Yesterday's events still left him with lingering fear.

In the afternoon, his figure appeared at Zhang Shan's house again.

Compared to yesterday, Zhang Shan was clearly not as attentive this time.

However, the teaching was still decent. Chen Xuan wasn't too disappointed by this.

He still had a bit of self-awareness about his own talent.

In his previous life, he was just an average person. In this life, according to his memories, he wasn't someone with extraordinary talent either. It was impossible for him to suddenly become a genius after the fusion of two lives.

Anyway, as long as he followed the method of the Conceptual Ability, he would be able to reach the introductory level of archery within ten days.

As for other things, he didn't care.

Two hours passed quickly.

Chen Xuan said goodbye to Zhang Shan's house again.

He returned home.

Upon returning home, Chen Xuan continued practicing as usual.

And time, in this kind of daily routine, quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, ten days had gone by.
