I ate dinner in a hurry.

Wang Lan took out some scrap metal he had bought at the market and began polishing the arrowheads with a clanging sound.

The issue of the border wall made Wang Lan even more determined to send Sun Muchen into the final fortress, no matter what.

I've heard that the fortress has many powerful weapons, such as pistols, which are not only easy to carry but also have a longer range than bows and arrows, capable of splitting a person's head open from a great distance.

Wang Lan also wanted to get a pistol, but he had never seen one before; those things were only found in the fortress.

His only ranged weapon was a worn-out longbow.

Overnight, Wang Lan finished polishing all the metal he had acquired and then assembled it into an arrow.

He took out his longbow, bent it, and nocked an arrow.

Wang Lan was inside the room making aiming motions. He said this was for calibration, and he needed to check the fit between the arrowhead and the arrow shaft.

But Sun Muchen looked puzzled and asked, "Does archery really need to be so complicated?"

"Of course we need that!"

Wang Lan explained, "After all, our arrowheads and shafts are inherently rather rough, and in order to ensure the accuracy and destructive power of the entire arrow, we need to balance these two imperfections into relative perfection."

Sun Muchen listened attentively, but didn't understand a word. She watched Wang Lan adjust the bow and arrow one by one, looking quite professional. So, an idea struck her, and she walked over, extending her hand and saying, "Let me try!"

Wang Lan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "Sure, it's not impossible for you to have some fun."

As he spoke, Wang Lan squatted down and began searching for arrows for her.

Sun Muchen took the longbow, completely ignoring Wang Lan, casually assembled an arrow, nocked it on the string, and released it with a "thud".

It stands in the center above the handle of the Vajra Umbrella, which is positioned against the wall.

Wang Lan was taken aback. He went over and looked again and found that there was almost no gap between the arrow and the handle of the Vajra Umbrella. He nodded slightly and smiled, "Not bad, you guessed quite accurately."

"I'm not lying!"

Sun Muchen clicked his tongue and nocked an arrow again.

Loosen your grip.

The arrow that was released from the bow this time struck above the previous arrow, the gap between the two arrows being so small as to be negligible.

Wang Lan stared in disbelief, then turned and exclaimed, "Wow, you shot so accurately!"

Is it difficult?

Sun Muchen drew his bow and nocked an arrow once more, but this time he didn't shoot. Instead, he imitated Wang Lan, opening one eye and closing the other, while saying, "One day I was tired from studying, so I shot for fun. I found that this thing is very simple. When I think it's about time, I let go and I can hit the target!"

After she finished speaking, she began to look around, and when her gaze moved to the window, she suddenly spotted a figure.
