Chapter 506 Dazzling Gifts
On the way back to the village, Zhao Yi pulled a few magic grasses from the roadside, broke off a few branches of suitable shapes, tied the magic grasses to the branches, and a simple slingshot was formed.

'The magic insect grass is very elastic, but it can only last for one or two hours. Soaking it in water can keep it elastic for a while longer, but you have to practice as soon as possible.'

"Is it okay for me to bury him? The neighbors all knew that the original father would not live for many days. He died today. It's a coincidence. It's not a coincidence either."

"It's normal for someone to die in this chaotic world. I don't think anyone will bother me for this. I should practice my slingshot first."

'There is no shortage of martial arts in this world, what is lacking is the eyes to discover martial arts, and my creativity just happens to serve as the eyes.'

It was almost noon when Zhao Yi returned home, and he had his first meal since coming into this world.

Chapter two

In the afternoon, Zhao Yi still chose the big tree as his target, and the stones he had picked up earlier could still be used.

Aiming with a slingshot is much simpler than aiming with a stone. He practiced thirty rounds with 20 stones and was able to hit the target every time.

[Martial arts: stone throwing (primary school 13.6%), digging (primary school 61%), slingshot (primary school 3%)]

'Using the slingshot aiming 400 times in a row not only increased the proficiency of the slingshot by 3%, but also increased the proficiency of "stone throwing" by 0.6%. Although it's not much, it's also a pleasant surprise.'

"Moreover, the linkage between different martial arts proves that the proficiency panel has infinite possibilities! As long as you dare to think and dare to do..."

Zhao Yi was eager to verify where this 0.6% improvement lay.

So he put down the slingshot temporarily, concentrated his mind, and stared at the tree trunk, as if there was only this big tree in his field of vision, and everything else was just a blurry background.

He stepped back half a step, took a deep breath, and threw the stone, hitting the center of the tree trunk.

'This feeling... I am concentrating my attention, focusing on it, and not being distracted. Although it is a bit tiring, it is more efficient.'

He opened the panel and saw that his proficiency in stone throwing had increased from 13.6% to 15%, and his proficiency in slingshot had increased from 3% to 3.5%.

'The growth rate of stone throwing and slingshot is different? Because my last action was stone throwing, not slingshot, so the stone throwing will increase more significantly? '

Zhao Yi was overjoyed and said to himself, "Proficiency also requires understanding. Blindly repeating physical labor is effective, but the effect is not obvious. Only by summarizing and improving more can we achieve greater progress."

He switched to a slingshot, recalling what had happened just now, holding his breath, carefully pulled the bowstring, aimed at the spot where the stone had hit before, let go, and the stone flew out, hitting the target right there.

This time he was not in a hurry to open the panel to check his proficiency, but instead struck while the iron was hot and practiced a few more times to consolidate his skills.

Good insights are not always available, so once such an opportunity arises, you must make the most of it.

He consolidated it dozens of times in a row, spending less and less time on aiming, and his movements became faster and faster, but his hit rate did not drop.

Continuous firing, or even... firing without aiming!

After four consecutive misses, he finally hit one.

"No more waiting, panel, come out."

[Martial arts: stone throwing (primary school 15.2%), digging (primary school 61%), slingshot (primary school 5%)]

'This consolidation has increased my slingshot proficiency by another 1.5%. At 5% proficiency, I can hit the tree with every shot. It's time to switch to smaller targets for practice! Missions without any challenges are boring!'

'The proficiency of stone throwing also increased by 0.2%, which is equivalent to the increment of 200 practice slingshots. This combination of practice is indeed more effective than practicing alone.'

He was filled with joy and took five steps back. The tree was still as thick as before, but because of the distance, it looked "smaller" in his eyes.

He pulled the rope, aimed, and let go, all in one go, but missed.

'Half the distance means the difficulty may increase by more than half. It would be great if there were relevant papers. Practice without theoretical support is still a bit difficult after all!

'The ancient sages and predecessors were truly extraordinary, able to blaze new trails without a panel. I used to think I could do it, but after practicing, I realized it's not easy! '

After another ten rounds of 200 exercises, I had a good hit rate beyond fifteen steps.

[Martial Arts: Throwing Stones (15.4% in Primary School), Digging Earth (61% in Primary School), Slingshot (6% in Primary School)] "Okay, great, I need to take a break to recover. There is no air conditioning in this world, what a hassle!"

"Although this body has been tempered for more than ten years and has better resistance to the environment, my spirit has not been tempered!"

"If it were my original self, I could continue this kind of training, but I can't."

"But if it was the original body, he probably wouldn't have thought of this kind of training method. He could only max out his proficiency in things like digging and weeding."

After Zhao Yi woke up from his lunch break, he started practicing slingshot again.

This time he no longer targeted large trees.

He used a wooden stick to draw a circle as big as his palm on the adobe wall, then took five steps back and stared at the circle for about a minute.

The small circle on the yellow adobe seemed to glow with golden light in his eyes. The golden light had an inexplicable attraction to him, making him want to "smash" the stone into the circle.

This may be the state of entering.

A man without faith cannot stand; proficiency without a goal cannot be achieved.

By strengthening your goals and consolidating your beliefs, the effect of such exercise will be better.

It was not difficult to hit the target with the tree trunk, but Zhao Yi missed the target for the first time with the small circle on the wall.

He missed the second time as well, but luckily, he had hit the adobe where the circle was. Although the stone did not fall within the circle, it was not too far off.

The third time, Zhao Yi deliberately aimed at another point outside the circle, which was almost symmetrical with the previous point.

Zhao Yi couldn't even hit the circle, let alone a point that was much smaller than the circle?

By doing this, he is actually trying to force things and rush for quick results.

But he didn't take it seriously.

Having goals is a good thing, but why not achieve them happily?

Just like people taking in protein is good for health. If parents force a person who doesn't like eating beef to take in protein by eating beef, it will undoubtedly be a painful thing. But if they change it to other foods that are easy for people to accept, wouldn't it be stress-free?

It was the circle he was aiming for, that was true.

But any point next to the circle, as long as it is a target he sets, can be used as his temporary practice object.

After dozens of attempts, he finally hit the point that was not within the circle.

Zhao Yi felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

The satisfaction after completing the goal instantly turned into fatigue, pressing down on him forcefully.

He suddenly felt exhausted, dizzy and could hardly stand.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, held his breath, repeated it several times, closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and stood there blankly for about half a minute. Only then did he feel better.

"Open the panel."

[Martial arts: stone throwing (primary school 15.6%), digging (primary school 61%), slingshot (primary school 8%)]

"My slingshot proficiency increased from 6% to 8%? I only practiced less than 100 times, right? I got an increase of 400 times! "

'No wonder I feel more tired than after practicing all morning! My hard work was not in vain!'

'The proficiency of slingshot increased by 0.2%, which is a bit disappointing, but it is equivalent to 200 slingshot training sessions.'

After looking at the panel, he perked up again. Then he aimed at the small circle.
