BXBX NOVEL Chapter 87: 087 Clue Quality Improvement
There was a bit of pressure, but it was manageable.
Originally at 23 mastery experience points, he had obtained 1 point through his own diligent practice, and the remaining 76 points depended entirely on cheating.
He had spent a total of 160 combat experience points to directly upgrade his Ranged Weapon Specialization to level 1 through the Teaching Bureau.
[Current Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience 104/100, "Level 1 Ranged Weapon Specialization" learned, with 1 Quiescent Point simultaneously obtained.]
[Ranged Weapon Specialization (Level 1): +5% Shooting Accuracy, +3% Firing Rate, +100 meters Range.]
[Current Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience 4/300, reach 300 points to master "Level 2 Ranged Weapon Specialization".]
His abilities became more professional, and with the formidable power added through specialization directly overlaid on the motor neurons of his body, Bai E\'s every move seemed identical to the standard maneuvers Yue Ying had just demonstrated.
The two shadows interweaved and ultimately merged into one.
Finger relaxed, arrow released.
"Thud!"
At the red-dotted center of the target, the lightweight steel arrow shaft kept quivering.
[Successfully hit the target center, Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience +3.]
"..."
Yue Ying\'s brows, hidden beneath the hood, suddenly twitched.
What happened?
Isn\'t the difference from before and after a bit too great?
Having only been instructed a few times, he had learned this fast?
"Shoot two more times."
[Side Quest — Yue Ying\'s Approval, countdown extended.]
Hearing the prompt, Bai E breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, the life extension worked.
Without wasting time, Bai E continued to execute the most standard shooting motions meticulously.
The lessons learned had taught him a rule of this world — any insincerity in action would only yield perfunctory results.
"Thud~"
[Successfully hit the target, Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience +2.]
"Thud~"
[Successfully hit the target, Ranged Weapon Mastery Experience +2.]
"..."
He didn\'t hit the bullseye again, but the deviation wasn\'t too far.
Bai E carefully watched the still, black-robed figure, whose face was partially obscured under the hood, its expression unseen.
Wondering what she was thinking...
Is this considered up to par?
[Was my teaching talent really that remarkable?]
Yue Ying felt very pleased inside, having found sufficient confidence from this human warrior with the number 95B27.
"Then let\'s continue... this time, we will advance a step further."
[Prompt: Current "Side Quest — Yue Ying\'s Approval" has been preliminarily completed. You may refuse at any time to receive the quest reward.]
[Current quest reward: Clue to the Elf Breathing Skill (Quality: Grey)]
[Clue to the Elf Breathing Skill (Quality: Grey): You have attained the initial goodwill of the Elf Race\'s Yue Ying. By showing more of your excellent skills, there\'s a very small chance of obtaining the knowledge of the "Elf Breathing Skill" from her.]
What Elf girl conquest?
Bai E didn\'t hesitate.
Continue, continue!
"100 meters?"
The increase in distance was undeniably the simplest form of making it more challenging.
"No." Yue Ying shook her head slightly, "Given that you could make a handgun shoot in an arc, you must have some insight in this area. Watch closely..."
"..."
Watching her turn around to seriously begin drawing the bow and nocking the arrow, Bai E felt a bit like crying without tears.
Have you misunderstood something?
Is that really an upgrade in difficulty?
Is it that you don\'t know how to teach, or do you have too much confidence in me?
"I\'m about to shoot."
[The target technique is exquisite, continuing to learn may yield unexpected rewards.]
```
Hmm?
Bai E blinked in surprise, subconsciously making a decision to agree.
The arrows, like swimming fish, deftly skirted the first target in line, accurately striking the bullseye of the second.
[You have spent 10 combat experience points in learning, which were converted into 5 points of "Ranged Weapon Specialization" experience. (A very small probability of awakening a special attribute.)]
?
What is this?
A small probability of awakening... a special attribute? Hmm, there\'s also a "very".
The same teaching scenario...
A recent event suddenly came to mind, and Bai E had an epiphany.
Last time he held a teaching session for players, he found it odd how some of them, so foolishly, took lessons at a 2-to-1 ratio of loss, giving him an extra dose of experience.
Now it seemed not that they were foolish, but that they were gambling.
There were no foolish players, only those who, even with a one in a thousand chance, would believe they were the chosen ones.
Otherwise, what would those gacha games earn from?
Gamblers! All of them gamblers!
Fortunately, he was one too...
Saving up so much experience had indeed been a wise choice.
Learn! Learn fiercely from Yue Ying!
The loss of experience at a 2-to-1 ratio meant nothing when that lost experience was equivalent to unlocking special attributes available only after reaching level 4 specialization. Whether it was a loss or gain was hard to say.
But as long as he could learn that special attribute, he could then teach it to the players.
What he lost, he could always recoup from others.
Not only would he not be at a loss, but he might even profit from it.
He was the middleman, making a killing on the margin!
Not to mention, "Yue Ying\'s Approval" the side quest just required breaking more of Yue Ying\'s expectations and earning her admiration, so what if he threw all he had at her?
"Did you see clearly?" Yue Ying asked considerately after noticing the flash in Bai E\'s eyes, as if he was recalling techniques in his mind.
Bai E blinked and said, "Could you shoot a few more times? This is kind of difficult..."
Previously moved by her own talents in teaching, Yue Ying didn\'t hesitate to accept, "No problem, you can perform the movements with me in real time to adjust better, you may progress faster that way."
"Great!"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
The arrows, like swimming fish, freely circled around the targets, and like sharks smelling blood, ferociously collided with the target in the back.
[You have spent 10 combat experience points in learning, which were converted into 5 points of "Ranged Weapon Specialization" experience. (A very small probability of awakening a special attribute.)]
...
[You have spent 10 combat experience points in learning, which were converted into 5 points of "Ranged Weapon Specialization" experience. (A small probability of awakening a special attribute.)]
It seemed there was a hidden mechanism of cumulative proficiency in the teaching scenario, with the probability description changing after multiple learning sessions.
Bai E felt exhilarated.
Keep throwing in!
[You have spent 10 combat experience points in learning, which were converted into 5 points of "Ranged Weapon Specialization" experience.]
[Your prolonged learning has allowed you to absorb enough experience from the master\'s performance. Your specialization skill—Ranged Weapon Specialization—has gained a new "special" attribute bonus!]
[Ranged Weapon Specialization (Level 1): Shooting accuracy +5%, firing speed +3%, range +100 meters, parabolic shot (special) +2%.]
[Current Ranged Weapon Mastery experience 271/300, you can master "Level 2 Ranged Weapon Specialization" when full at 300 points.]
"Whoosh~"
The arrow pierced through the air resistance, its sleek shaft flexing with elasticity, lightly grazing past obstacles, and thrusting straight into the second target!
"Thud!"
[Arc shot triggered! Successfully hit the target behind an obstacle, Ranged Weapon Mastery experience +5.]
A peripheral vision flashed across the screen, nerves rapidly reacting, Yue Ying shuddered, and suddenly looked over.
Success?
[Luck Strike energy +1]
Bai E, calmly focusing within, showed not the slightest excitement.
[Current mission reward: Clue to the Elf Breathing Skill (Quality: White)]
[Clue to the Elf Breathing Skill (Quality: White): You have gained further favor from the Elf Race\'s Yue Ying, showing more of your excellent talents, there\'s a slight chance of acquiring the "Elf Breathing Skill" from her.]

[Continuing to challenge higher difficulties could lead to disappointment from the target, thus lowering the quality of the clue. Will you decide to quit while you\'re ahead? Or perhaps...]
