The viewers on the stream ridiculed Su Yu.
They were not there to look down on him, but the odds were heavily against him.
It was widely known that both a war bow from ancient times and a modern bow had limited firing ranges. Their common effective firing range was a little more than 100 meters, or 200 meters at best.
Others might not believe it, but most of the battles throughout history and the world happened within 50 meters.
Once the target left the effective firing range, which was over 100 meters or more, a normal bow weapon would drastically lose its precision.
On the battlefield, long-range battles that surpassed 200 meters or more relied heavily on luck. In other words, the person firing a bow or a gun at a target further than 200 meters was as good as firing blind.
If the person was able hit an enemy with 200 shots or less, he could already be considered a sharpshooter.
There were a lot of memes on the internet that ridiculed this particular matter.
One of them was a commander telling his subordinate, “As usual, finish firing the bullets and you can go home for the day.”
Another widely known meme picture was a bunch of soldiers wiping their guns in front of a truck with the caption, “US soldiers ready to head home after firing all their rounds.”
In short, once the effective range stretched further than 100 meters, precision shooting would be a fool’s talk.
At first glance, Su Yu was more than 100 meters from the rabbit. He would be dreaming if he thought he could hit the rabbit which could be considered an agile target with sensitive perception.
The viewers on the stream started to bet on the outcome.
“Can Su Yu hit the rabbit?”
Although there were more than 10,000 Peas voting for ‘Yes’, there were more than 3 million Peas under ‘No’.
The overwhelming odds were proof that no one hoped for Su Yu to hit the rabbit.
However, he did not have the time or attention to look at the comments as he was focused on the rabbit. He was determined to have rabbit meat for lunch.
At the next moment, Su Yu’s eyes glowed purple as a stream of energy rose.
[Superior Marksmanship]!
He drew the bow string fully and took aim at the rabbit.
The viewers saw him draw the string fully.
Jun Moxiao typed, “OMG! Are you serious? It’s just a rabbit. Do you need to fully draw a 20 kg bow?”
“Master Su, it’s just a rabbit. You don’t need to be this serious.”
The arrow was already loaded, so he had to fire it.
Swoosh!
A sharp whistle tore the air apart, and the arrow flew from the bow, transforming into a black blur as it traversed across the forest.
It flew accurately towards the wild rabbit.
The rabbit reacted quickly as well. The moment it heard the sharp whistle, it lifted its head, but before it could flee, the black arrow came like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, piercing its head.
Swiftly, the arrow carried the rabbit away and pinned it to a tree trunk further away.
“Holy sh*t!”
“WTF!”
“I’m on my knees! You hit it?! Master Su, you are awesome!”
“A sharpshooter! Is this the legendary technique Superior Marksmanship?!”
“I’m f**king broke! My 300K Peas are gone! I’m as good as a poor b*st*rd before liberation!”
“We are all broke! I suspect Master Su of cheating! I want to report the rabbit for playing dead!”
“Well, the rabbit’s acting is Oscar-worthy!”
“Daaaamn! A 100-meter headshot? You should be joining the Olympics, not wasting your talent on rabbits!”
[Jun Moxiao sent you 10 Super Rockets]
Jun Moxiao then typed, “I’m stunned. Man! Wait, you are my bro from now on! Bro, when are you going on your next archery trip? Please bring me along.”
[Promise sent you 10 Super Rockets]
Promise typed, “AWESOME!”
[Princess Piggy sent you 5 Super Rockets]
Princess Piggy typed, “The most handsome streamer out there! You looked so cool!”
Su Yu put his bow down and said, “Thank you for your gifts, everyone.”
Then, he headed to the tree where the rabbit was pinned to. He pulled the arrow from the tree and took the rabbit off.
The viewers were already astonished before he pulled the arrow out, and when he did, they were further shocked.
The arrow had left a deep mark on the tree.
“WTF? How much strength did you use to pull the string? It’s just a rabbit, but the mark is at least 3 cm deep!”
“3 cm? It’s more than 5 cm from what I see! Do you have beef with the rabbit?”
“You are ruthless! Master Su is ruthless!”
Su Yu was speechless. “Uh…I didn’t control my strength properly. I’ll be careful next time.”
He did not expect to overuse his strength. After all, it had been a while since he held a bow and he did lose his grip back there for a bit. On top of that, he was stronger now, and it seemed normal for him to lose control of his strength.
However, the rabbit would have disagreed with what he said to the viewers. “Next time??? How the hell is there a next time? Are you hearing yourself?!”
Su Yu’s stomach was already growling after he removed the rabbit from the arrow.
“Okay, guys, let’s find a spot and take care of lunch first.”
“What are we eating? Are we eating the rabbit?”
“The rabbit is so cute! Why are we eating it?!”
“Dude, you are so hungry…I mean merciless! I despise your action! Please send me your location and I’ll come to join you…I mean punish you with my bowl and chopsticks.”
“Damn it! My tears are drooling from my mouth.”
Su Yu did not play along with the lousy jokes from his viewers. He brought the rabbit and Little White to a river.
Since he used to train and play in the mountains when he was younger, he knew where the water source was.
At the river, he planned to split the workload with Little White.
“Little White, let’s have a discussion. I’ll deal with the rabbit and you can go fetch some wood, clean up a spot for the fire, and get some fish from the river. What do you say?”
Little White looked at Su Yu with a quiet look. “???”
“Hahahaha! Gosh, this is funny! Little White must be thinking: Don’t you bully me because I don’t speak the human language. I understand you loud and clear! And it’s not fair!”
“Good gracious! Good mother of god gracious! Every follicle of that capitalist is sucking blood!”
“Little White: You want me to build a fire and a roasting rack? Are you serious?”
Despite the ridiculing comments, Little White went searching for sticks while Su Yu was in charge of cleaning the rabbit.
Of course, the cleaning process would be bloody and was not suitable for streaming, so he skipped the entire process.
After he skewered the rabbit with some sticks, Little White returned with the firewood.
While the man and the snake were busy preparing lunch, one of the viewers in the stream asked an important question, “Bruh, I think you forgot something. How are you going to start a fire?”
“Hahaha! ROFL! What are you going to eat if you can’t start a fire?!”
“Oh, right, I didn’t even notice! No wonder something feels missing.”
“I told you to bring more necessities earlier today, but you didn’t listen to me. What are you going to do now? Hahaha.”
Su Yu answered calmly, “Don’t worry. It’s just starting a fire. It’s a piece of cake. I’ll show you how to start a fire with wooden sticks.”
“Start a fire with wooden sticks? You must have watched too many TV shows. It’s not as easy as it looks. The odds of starting a fire with wood are underwhelmingly low.”
“Correct. I used to play with sticks when I was young, but after spinning the sticks for half an hour, I didn’t even get a single spark.”
“Hahaha! Let’s just skip to the part where you eat raw rabbit meat.”
“Rabbit sashimi? Eww!”
Su Yu was already working on it while the comments were filled with jokes aimed at him.
He got two thicker sticks and started to rub them together. With a deep breath in front of the camera, he rubbed them at explosive speed.
“Holy f*ck! How fast are you rubbing? Your hands are blurred out!”
“Is it me or the stream is lagging? How fast are his hands moving?”
“He’s leaving afterimages in his motion! How many years have you been single?”
“Scary! I always took pride in my own hands and how fast can they move, but today, you’ve won me over!”
More than 100,000 viewers in his stream were stunned by his astonishing speed.
Su Yu’s hands were moving so fast as though he had a motor installed in them. The rapid rubbing motion left afterimages in its wake.
In less than 3 minutes, smoke started to waft out from the sticks. Su Yu carefully poured the ignited ashes out on the tinder he had prepared. A few soft blows later, a tiny ember appeared.
“Look, isn’t it easy?” Su Yu said.
The viewers in his stream were stunned.
