《fall into darkness》Chapter 97: Two items

Du Dian followed his words and came to the front of the target.
"Here, take a good look at some arrows." The young man took out a black bow and quiver from the shelf next to him and encouraged him.
Du Dian reached out and took it, only to feel that the weight was slightly lighter than the bow and arrow of the hunter at the beginning, but for most scavengers, it was still extremely heavy, so he immediately put on the quiver and took out a common arrow to catch, stretch the strings by hand, and aim at the distant target.
The target was 30 meters away from the visual observation, and with a swoosh, the sharp arrow flew away, nailing it deeply on the target, but it didn't hit the red heart, and it deviates by one and a half circles.
"It's pretty good, have you practiced before?" The young man glanced at it and asked in surprise.
Du Dian nodded and said, "I have practiced for a few days."
"Just a few days..." The young man nodded slightly, handed out a black bandage, and said, "Blindfold your eyes and shoot an arrow to see."
Du Dian nodded, blindfolded, and drew the bow again, searching for the approximate location of the previous target in his mind. Although he could smell the faint odor emanating from the target with his sense of smell, he did not rely on the help of his sense of smell and wanted to see Do you have any talent as a shooter?
Whoosh!
Arrows shot out quickly.
With an indulgent sound, he nailed it to the target.
Hearing the sound of the target, Du Di'an pulled down the black belt and looked around. The position was similar to that of the previous shot, and the deviation was not large.
"It seems that you are quite talented as a shooter." A smile appeared on the young man's face, and he said, "Although your physique is relatively high, it is extremely rare to have such a result after only a few days of practice. If you work hard, you may have a chance. Become the second hunter in the consortium, the mid-level hunter."

Du Dian was surprised: "Is there only one hunter in the consortium who has reached the intermediate level?"
"Well, there are eight mid-level hunters in the consortium, two knights, three warriors, two thieves, and one hunter." The young man smiled and said, "There are fewer hunters, mainly because the hunters' combat ability is too high. Poor, if there is no one to help contain them, it will be difficult to hunt the prey, too much reliance on the team, and the skills of the hunters are relatively difficult, which is also the reason for the scarcity of intermediate hunters."
"The hunter's combat ability is poor?" Du Dian couldn't help but glance at him, and he chose the hunter profession because of his combat ability. In his opinion, this is the strongest single-soldier profession!
However, hunter skills are more difficult, he agrees.
After all, warriors and knights often fight monsters on the front line, and their fighting ability improves very quickly, while hunters are only responsible for repeated archery in the back, and they can gain very little insight. They can only rely on "practice makes perfect".
"Try the talents of other occupations again." The youth took Du Dian to the second-line drawing area next to it. Here are a few wooden figures. On the shelves next to them are placed various swords, iron whips, hammers, and other weapons. But there is no long spear, the spear is the exclusive symbol of the knight.
"Attack the wooden man, smash it, you can see what kind of weapon is easy to use, and use whatever weapon." The young man smiled.
Du Di'an nodded, picked up the long sword first, came to a wooden man, and chopped it in every way he could think of.
Slashing multiple times in a row made him feel awkward and uncomfortable, and the blade would slip if he used too much force.
Du Dian immediately knew that the long sword was not suitable for him, and immediately replaced it with a short sword.
Compared with the long sword, the short sword is much easier to handle, longer than the dagger, and as powerful as a dagger, making him addicted to it, and he does not feel tired when he chops continuously.

Next are other weapons, iron whips, hammers, war knives... Du Dian tried one by one and finally felt that he was more comfortable with short swords and war knives. The youth also gave this evaluation based on his achievements.
"Your warrior talent is not bad, but it's still better as a hunter. Let's take a look at your knight talent," said the young man.
The knights here are different from the knights in the wall. Although the fighting methods are similar, the knights in the wall pay more attention to morality. They will be awarded knight medals after strict assessment. They are purely external fighting professions. for heavy.
Du Di'an was sitting on the rocking horse, holding a long spear and waving it constantly, feeling extremely awkward.
When the young man saw it, he immediately shook his head and asked Du Dian to perform the last test.
The core of a thief is to hide and evade. The test method is a large cage full of knives and guns. This cage will keep shaking, and the knives and guns inside will continue to shake. There are no rules, and it is completely determined by the speed of individual nerve reactions.
"Put this on." The youth handed Du Di'an a set of bulky black iron suits.
Du Dian immediately put it on, and immediately felt awkward.
After entering the iron cage, the young man pressed the mechanism, and the iron cage swayed suddenly, and the swords inside were like countless soldiers holding him to encircle him, stabbing him in a mess.
Du Dian hurriedly dodged left and right, his eyes swept left and right, and occasionally saw silver light from the corner of his eyes, he quickly lowered his head to dodge, his body's instinctive response was extremely sensitive, and as the dodging time went on, he quickly grasped the shaking from his feet to a certain degree. Regularly, it is handier to avoid.
Despite this, two or three shots were still stabbed into his body, but he was protected by black iron armor and was not injured.
Soon, the test is over.
The young man opened the cage, his face full of admiration, and said: "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have such a sensitive skill, although your physique is relatively high, it is too strong to have such a reaction, otherwise, you can change your career to be a thief, Your talent in this area will enable you to reach the intermediate hunter level as soon as possible, and after so many years in the consortium, your thief talent is the top three, no, the top two I have ever seen!"
Du Dian didn't expect to get such an evaluation and was happy in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still said: "I still like to be a hunter and kill enemies thousands of meters away."
"This... okay." The young man sighed regretfully and did not force it. After all, this is just a simple test. It can only roughly see some talents, and it is not completely accurate. Many people are not good at first, but later they are more Those who are comfortable at first are more proficient, and he has seen a few such examples. And in the boring skill practice, interest is very key, which is why the consortium does not compulsorily arrange occupations but lets the hunters choose for themselves.
"Although your hunters and thieves are very talented, don't be complacent. You have to train well in the future. The consortium doesn't give you much time, and strive to become a real hunter within a year." The young man said earnestly: "Although Your study time is only one-third of that of other apprentice hunters, you have already mastered the magic marks, and your physique has improved in all aspects, making it easier to learn. If you fail the skill test after one year, the consortium will force you to Send it to the outside of the wall, so that you can hone in actual combat."
"However, you should also understand the dangers outside the wall, so work hard, be lazy today, and you will die tomorrow."
Du Dian's face was solemn, he nodded and said, "I know."
"Okay, follow me to the hunter training ground," said the young man.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
