Close the ring
"You take care of these pieces. I'll find the ones in the front. Look carefully so you don't take the wrong ones later."
Ding Can was standing with Zhang Qing in front of the target on the track where Yu Fu was. After finding a few special leaves, he began to get familiar with it and was able to find others more quickly.
After she told Zhang Qing to keep an eye on the leaves and not to make a mistake, she also paid attention to some more at a lower position.
After making sure that nothing was missed, he waved towards Yu Fu who was dozens of meters away.
At this distance, you have to speak very loudly for the other party to hear, and it might even alarm the doctors. It is much more convenient to communicate with gestures.
Zhang Qing felt that the leaves felt a little different, but even though he was standing here now, he still felt that what Ding Can said was a little unbelievable.
"Can you really get points just by relying on these leaves?"
So what does it matter if he has been able to shorten the time it takes to get points by practicing hard over the past few days?
Ding Can tugged at the branches beside him. "I can't guarantee anything, but let's just give it a try. This time, even if it doesn't work, it won't be a big loss for you. And if it succeeds, you'll have another strong sport to improve and more time to rest, right?"
It seems that what he said does make some sense, and no matter how he thinks about it, he will not suffer any loss. Zhang Qing was surprised to find that he seemed to have been persuaded by Ding Can again. He had clearly originally wanted to come here to quickly finish the next exercise.
Seeing Yu Fu raise his bow and nod, Ding Can also stood on tiptoe: "Now is the time."
The arrow was shot from the bow and moved very quickly, advancing more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
The two men seized the opportunity and turned the leaves in their hands. A very faint light flashed on the special leaves. Unexpectedly, without much effort, they saw a red dot appear in the air.
It is formed very close to the target. As the movement changes, the light moves and the red dot moves forward.
Due to its high controllability, after adjusting the angle, it can easily fall to the nine point five ring position.
Although the arrow shot by Yu Fu fell halfway, it did not affect the solid point left on the target.
Ding Can trotted back. The three people on the field were all attracted by the electronic screen next to them. Zhang Qing even held his breath, waiting for new changes to appear on it.
The air suddenly became quiet. He felt a little anxious and was about to question whether it was feasible when he saw the signal on the screen become worse and freeze.
After the freeze, the content changed.
A bright 9.5 points appeared in the score column behind Yu Fu's name, and his ranking moved up, surpassing himself and becoming the number one on the field.
"Really?" Zhang Qing widened his eyes and spoke with a broken voice.
Although this made it seem as if all his previous efforts were in vain, he was still very surprised and his joy was beyond words.
Yu Fu turned around and wanted to share the good news with Ding Can, but Ding Can looked calm. Instead, someone else was more excited.
He looked at Zhang Qing, whose face was flushed with excitement. He looked completely different from before and didn't look like someone who had been tortured by Xiushen Island.
Even his grin was a little creepy: "Why are you so happy?"
Zhang Qing rolled his eyes and laughed out loud as he thought of something: "I just think it's quite interesting. It seems like you have opened up a new path."
Before this, everyone was carrying out the sports programs step by step, and countless people were exhausted, fainted on their hands, etc. Although there are still so many people doing it now, it is the result of long-term persistence.
But in such a captive environment, I always feel that there is no way out.
Day after day, there will always be a day when the energy is exhausted, but now it is different. Zhang Qing sees hope in these two newcomers.
Perhaps, the relationship between these "patients" and "doctors" will change significantly from today onwards.
Thinking of this, he suddenly greeted the two of them very formally: "I was rude just now and didn't care about your presence. I apologize, and I think we can work together."
Ding Can turned her head: "Cooperation?" She didn't expect Zhang Qing's attitude to change so quickly.
Zhang Qing's tone was full of matter-of-factness: "Since you are new here, there must be a lot you need to know about Xiushen Island. I can be your guide."
"We do lack information, but you trust us so much that you're not afraid that we got this score by accident?"
"Didn't you just say that the worst is now?"
Zhang Qing just felt that they were like variables, and it was hard to tell whether they were good or bad, but at least they could break the status quo of Xiushen Island.
"Okay," Ding Can said, not dwelling on anything else. "Then the first thing you need to do is help me get my grades."
She patted Yu Fu's shoulder and walked past him. "You two can look for leaves on my track here. We'll go check out other sports together later."
A few minutes later, Ding Can won the first place in this sport: ten rings.
She saw that the circle representing the sport on the bracelet was already one-third closed, which meant she had completed a small part of the task.
In order to show his sincerity, Zhang Qing did not ask to improve his score, and took the two of them in the opposite direction, heading towards the island.
"I've been here for over half a year, and I've gradually learned the rules of survival."
Zhang Qing walked in front, half a body length longer than the two of them, and talked about some daily life-related things as briefly as possible.
Walking so close, Ding Can could see the muscles bulging on his arms more clearly. It was a little hot, so he took off his coat and put on a T-shirt underneath. It was very loose for ordinary people, but for Zhang Qing, it became a slim fit.
The headphones he had been listening to music on were now hanging around his neck. For some reason, Ding Can inexplicably thought of those rings athletes who didn't usually practice their legs.
The muscles in his arms are developed to be broader than his head.
"Can I touch it?" She didn't have any other thoughts, she was just a little curious.
"Whatever," Zhang Qing said indifferently. He even rolled up the sleeves of his T-shirt twice and raised his arms slightly, making the shape of his muscles more obvious. "It's rare that you still have the leisure time to do this."
Ding Can walked closer and poked it with her finger. It was as hard as stone. She exclaimed in approval, feeling that it could tear a cow's hand in half.
The three of them continued walking forward. Ding Can also touched his almost imperceptible biceps and whispered, "Looks like we really need to practice."
Compared to most people on the island, aren't they just like little chicks?
Yu Fu just glanced at Zhang Qing's back and said with a cold face: "This kind of figure is actually unhealthy."
What's so good about it?
"Whether it's healthy or not depends on the individual, but it's better to be more well-proportioned." Ding Can answered pertinently.
Zhang Qing, who was walking in front, of course heard their conversation and couldn't help rolling his eyes. It was already this late, and they still had the mind to chat here.
He was a little curious about their relationship: "You are both new, but you seem to have a good relationship. Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Just as Ding Can was about to get acquainted, he heard a loud rebuttal in his ear.
"No!" Yu Fu was shocked and immediately denied it. Then he realized that his reaction was a bit too much and explained, "She is my cousin."
Since I have explained it to Tan Wan'er before, it would be better to maintain a consistent statement.
Ding Can rubbed his ears, wondering if his hearing would be damaged. He could only follow suit and said, "My brother is not very good at speaking. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
But in Zhang Qing's view, this was just an attempt to hide something: "I know, why is he so excited?"
Yu Fu suddenly changed the subject: "We are walking this way, are we going to participate in some event?"
Zhang Qing didn't ask any further: "Isn't there a task in the ring today that requires a high heart rate? It's not that easy to complete."
"We have also discovered it, but we need to adapt to the environment on the island first, so we haven't specifically studied how to accomplish it. Do you have any suggestions?" Ding Can asked.
"My idea is that I can achieve it only when I am on the verge of death. How about your swimming?"
"I think I only know how to do it. Why are you asking?"
Zhang Qing pointed to the endless sea ahead and said, "There are quite a lot of water sports over there. You can try to choose some that you like."
There are many water sports, but with the archery project as a prerequisite, the two of them certainly don't think of these as being very easy.
Especially in the sea, which is different from the land, there are more uncertainties. Once you go deep into it, you will have to spend most of your energy.
"Are you very experienced?"
Zhang Qing pounded his chest muscles and said, "To be honest, no. You can tell from my appearance that I don't train my legs much. But I often climb on cliffs, so I can see the competition situation above sea level."
After listening to Zhang Qing’s explanation, I realized that swimming can be done with the help of water transportation.
The coastline enclosed on the sea level was very long. Ding Can looked closer and did not see any obvious enclosing device.
She thought of what Tan Wan'er had said before, that when the distance from the island was too far, the bracelet would activate its defense mechanism.
"I haven't researched it, but I've heard others say it's probably within a two or three kilometer radius. However, swimming events aren't affected. The route follows the entire Xiushen Island, which is a circle. It's like a water race."
It is indeed difficult to go around the entire Xiushen Island without the help of transportation, relying solely on the ability of living people.
"I haven't asked you yet, what illness brought you here?"
Zhang Qing replied, "I'm allergic to a lot of things, which makes my daily life very inconvenient. So I thought about signing up for the fitness activities on Xiushen Island. I didn't expect that after two rounds of screening, I would actually see my name on the list."
Allergy... But looking at Zhang Qing's condition, he didn't have any protective measures on his body, and it didn't look like he was being invaded by allergens.
"As you can see, I'm really cured." Zhang Qing shrugged.
Ding Can was a little surprised: "But this is not..."
Zhang Qing shrugged: "I know what you want to say, you tricked people into doing experiments, right? But the fact is, I really recovered."
Not long after entering the island, he noticed that his frequent skin rashes had improved a little, until later, he was able to walk normally in the sun, and no longer reacted to the climate, food, or any other inducements.
Ding Can thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever seen a doctor?"
Now that I have recovered, of course I should think about leaving the island.
