Back to the basement.
Lu Li took out the dragon tendon characteristic extraction liquid and refined the refined gold, taking two-thirds of it, merged the two, and shaped it into a bow body.
Dragon tendons have the most elasticity, making them ideal for bow bodies.
In the minds of many, animal tendons are used to make bowstrings.
But the truth is quite the opposite. Tendons are used on the bow body to increase its elasticity.
Bowstrings, contrary to popular belief, don't need elasticity.
Historically, bowstrings were generally made of various plant fibers or thin ropes made from cowhide.
Elasticity in bowstrings is often a big no-no in bow making.
As the bow body took shape, Lu Li tried it out and found that, as expected, the bow body had ample elasticity, sufficient for making a strong bow.
He then took some refined gold, turned it into liquid, and infused it with dragon bone and dragon scale characteristics to ensure its durability, stretching it into a bowstring.
Once it took shape, Lu Li installed it on the bow body, drew it a few times, and was satisfied. He put the bow down.
With a bow, naturally, you need arrows.
As a supernatural equipment, the characteristics of the arrows naturally go without saying.
Penetration, firing distance, armor piercing, and other characteristics are needed.
Besides that, the issue of arrow quantity also needs to be addressed.
After all, if a supernatural arrow is one less with each shot, that's too wasteful.
This is where teleportation magic comes into play.
Lu Li took some refined gold, turned it into liquid, and combined it with dragon toe and dragon tooth characteristics to create twelve arrows.
As the arrows were infused with the powerful piercing characteristics of dragon claws and dragon teeth, the sharpness of the arrows was at least 30% stronger than pure refined gold.
In addition, Lu Li also added wind magic and teleportation magic to the arrows.
Wind magic can make the arrows more powerful, fly farther, and penetrate stronger.
Teleportation magic allows the arrows to fly back to a designated location after hitting their target, achieving an infinite loop.
Thinking about this, Lu Li used the last remaining refined gold, combined it with dragon scale characteristics, and made a beautiful quiver covered in red scales. He inscribed the corresponding teleportation formation on it, creating a bow and arrow set.
He picked up the bow and arrows and went upstairs.
Shiina Mashiro looked curiously at Lu Li, her gaze landing on the bow and arrows.
“Is this what you’ve been busy with, Lu Li?”
Lu Li nodded: “That's right. This bow used 500 tons of steel and quite a bit of dragon materials, costing about another 100 million yen.”
“That's too expensive,” Shiina Mashiro widened her eyes, unable to believe it.
Do Familiars spend money in hundreds of millions?
She suddenly had a sliver of doubt about the leisurely life of guarding deities.
Can I really do this?
“This bow can be used for a long time!” Lu Li laughed, activating magic. A teleportation gate appeared. “Come on, let's go to the inner world to try out the bow.”
Kato Megumi, Fālín, and the others were also very curious. Upon hearing this, they followed Lu Li into the inner world.
In the inner world, everyone appeared on top of a tall building.
Lu Li drew his bow and arrow, drawing the long bow into a full moon. The next moment, the arrow flew off the string, disappearing in a blink.
After a while, about several miles away, a towering evil spirit's chest suddenly split open, exploding, letting out a scream, and turning into ashes.
Kato Megumi was shocked: “It can shoot so far?”
Shiina Mashiro pointed at the quiver and said, “And the arrows automatically fly back. This means that as long as the arrows aren't destroyed, they can be used endlessly.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha was shocked: “This weapon is too overpowered.”
Lu Li handed the bow and arrow to Kato Megumi.
“Try it out. This bow and arrow is perfect for Megumi's ordinary person characteristic!”
Kato Megumi nodded, mimicking Lu Li's stance, drawing the bow and arrow.
Having already reached Lv.2, Kato Megumi could naturally draw the treasure bow.
The next moment, the long arrow left the string.
A moment later, an evil spirit a mile away dissipated.
“Missed!” Kato Megumi was a little embarrassed. Although she still hit an evil spirit, it wasn't the one she aimed at.
Lu Li comforted her: “It's alright. Starting tomorrow, Megumi will diligently practice archery. By the way, do you guys want to try it?”
Maru Sil shook her head: “No, I’m a magician.”
Fālín, Shiina Mashiro, and Kasumigaoka Utaha were actually quite tempted.
Even if you don't like bows, it's good to try out a divine weapon that costs 100 million yen.
“Bang!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha took the long bow and it immediately fell to the ground.
“So heavy!”
She was speechless.
How come she can't even lift a bow?
Upon seeing this, Shiina Mashiro didn't even touch it.
She was just an ordinary high school student. Although she claimed to be a sports prodigy, her strength wouldn't be much more than Kasumigaoka Utaha's, so she definitely couldn't lift the bow.
Fālín stepped forward, picked up the long bow, aimed slightly, and directly killed a huge evil spirit a mile away.
“It's really easy to use!”
Fālín's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy.
Lu Li nodded gently: “We’ll go find a dragon on Sunday and make a bow for Fālín.”
Maru Sil, as Fālín’s little fan, had fanatical eyes: “That's right!”
Kato Megumi, upon hearing this, said, “Why don't we just give this bow to Fālín?”
“No need to pass it around,” Lu Li waved his hand. “Everyone will have this kind of weapon later. For now, think carefully about what kind of weapon you like.”
Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi took the bow back.
“Mashiro, are we training tonight?” Lu Li asked.
Shiina Mashiro nodded: “Let's start training. I want to participate in the dragon slaying on Sunday.”
“Okay.” Lu Li nodded and took everyone's weapons from the teleportation gate and distributed them. “Start leveling up. You guys fight, I'll be in the rear. I won't intervene unless it's life-threatening. Senior, please help guide Mashiro's swordsmanship.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha was unhappy: “Utaha!”
“Alright, Utaha, help guide her.”
Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha’s lips curled up: “No problem!”
Thus, a team was formed with Kato Megumi and Maru Sil as the main attackers, Fālín as support, and Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shiina Mashiro as slackers, and they started training.
It has to be said, Shiina Mashiro's original character setting is absurdly ridiculous - a top student, athletic prodigy, household chore expert. Besides a bit of trouble with her family, she's practically perfect, known as an angel.
Now, with grace, she's unlocked her potential, and her swordsmanship progress is incredibly fast. After only ten minutes, she can already independently kill evil spirits.
“Mashiro is so amazing!”
“I feel like Mashiro will surpass us all in no time!”
Everyone watched Shiina Mashiro, with her rising sword light, mercilessly slaying evil spirits, feeling a sense of urgency in their hearts.
Especially Kasumigaoka Utaha, her mood became even more subtle.
Just a moment ago, she was still accepting guidance from her teacher, but in the blink of an eye, her swordsmanship was more practiced and refined than hers.
It's unscientific!
