Chapter 4
Inside the examination grounds, The Archery Instructor continued:
"Child, the next test will be even more difficult. Do you wish to continue? If you choose to give up now, I will gift you an excellent hunting bow."
"If you choose to proceed, failure will yield no rewards."
Qin Han didn’t hesitate. "Continue the test!"
Passing the first test would reward a Perfect blue hunting bow—its stats were decent, but it wouldn’t be long before such items became common trash. Naturally, he wouldn’t settle for that.
"Very well. You are a child with unwavering determination. Then, let us proceed to the second test."
As the Archery Instructor finished speaking, the targets ahead suddenly became agile, shifting left and right.
At a glance, it was dizzying.
The rules remained the same as before: fifty rings within ten seconds for a Perfect score.
Qin Han remained relaxed.
These moving targets had a constant speed—all he needed was to adjust his lead slightly to hit them effortlessly.
For any skilled archer, shooting moving targets
was almost as easy as shooting stationary ones.
Holding his breath, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
His movements flowed seamlessly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!
Thud, thud, thud—!
Without surprise, all five arrows struck the Bullseye.
"How astonishing. Your progress has truly impressed me."
The Archery Instructor’s voice sounded again.
"Child, if you choose to quit now, I will grant you a Beginner Archer Class Certificate. With it, you can proceed to the Beginner Village Class Advancement Altar for your class change."
"Once you change classes, unexpected benefits await."
"The upcoming tests will only grow more difficult."
"If you choose to continue, you may end up with nothing."
Qin Han’s lips curled slightly.
Class advancement was one of the most crucial steps for any player at the start of the Game of Eternal Life.
It was also one of the few paths for weaker races to surpass stronger ones.
A Beginner Archer was the lowest-tier profession, granting players a 1.5x Growth Value per level.
Ordinary players, no matter how strong their initial stats, would only gain 10 Constitution per level during the Novice Zone phase.
But with the Beginner Archer’s 1.5x Growth Value, they would gain 15 Constitution per level.
In essence, a Beginner Archer leveling up twice would equal an ordinary player leveling up three times.
Ten levels for a Beginner Archer would be equivalent to fifteen levels for an ordinary player.
Over time, the gap would only widen.
Class advancement had no level requirement—players could change classes even at Level 0.
The earlier the change, the greater the benefits.
After all, levels were irreversible.
If a player waited until Level 5 to change classes, the levels gained before that would lack the Growth Value bonus.
The loss would be immense.
More importantly, the number of class advancement slots in the Game of Eternal Life was limited!
Players across all realms competed for a fixed number of slots—first come, first served.
The slots for Beginner Archers under this instructor alone numbered in the quadrillions.
It sounded like a lot, but when distributed across the Endless Beginner Village, that number was a drop in the bucket.
In his past life, by the end, only a handful of players in his Novice Zone had obtained a profession.
The 1.5x advantage of a Beginner profession
meant that against a player without one, it was an absolute one-sided domination!
Fighting one against three with some maneuvering could still lead to victory!
However, the ceiling of a beginner profession is nothing more than being a minor expert in the Beginner's Village.
Dominating the Beginner's Village is already difficult, let alone competing with the powerhouses of the Endless Starry Sky—that would be a joke.
Since he was reborn, Qin Han was determined to become the absolute number one across all realms.
As for beginner professions, even if they were handed to him for free, he wouldn’t spare them a glance.
Qin Han shook his head slightly and said, "Instructor, I wish to continue the assessment!"
This time, the instructor didn’t waste words and began preparing the assessment resources.
A minute later, "Alright, you may begin the next assessment."
Qin Han raised his eyes and saw five targets circling in the sky not far away, like wild geese.
His gaze sharpened.
"Begin the assessment!"
Time passed bit by bit.
Inside the archery training ground, Qin Han passed one assessment after another, until finally, he completed the Advanced Profession assessment.
At this moment, the archery instructor looked astonished and said, "Child, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone as outstanding as you. Among all the youngsters I’ve encountered in my career, you undoubtedly rank among the very best."
"If you complete the assessment now, I will grant you an Advanced Profession Qualification Token and reward you with an exceptionally top-tier longbow."
"But if you choose to continue the assessment, not only will it be extremely difficult, but there’s also a high chance of failure."
"Once you fail, all your previous efforts will be for nothing."
"Moreover, before the assessment, you must complete a pre-task I assign to prove your qualifications."
"You must think this through carefully."
Qin Han nodded, then continued, "Instructor, I choose to proceed with the next assessment."
The instructor mentioned a pre-task, but far from feeling troubled, Qin Han was even more delighted.
After all, as previously stated, among all players in the universe at this moment, those capable of reaching this stage must number over ten billion, while those who can complete the Advanced Profession Qualification likely number at least five billion.
If the archery assessment could be completed in one go, the final profession slots would have long been snatched by others—
how could there be any left for him?
This pre-task was precisely the key to securing the Top-tier Archer Profession Token ahead of all other players.
Hearing this, the archery instructor nodded.
"You are truly a courageous child, and I hope you succeed smoothly in the upcoming assessment."
"To prove you are worthy of inheriting a top-tier profession,"
"you must hunt one hundred Giant Serpents, one hundred Leopards, and one hundred Gray Eagles within a single day. Only after completing this may you return to proceed with the final assessment!"
Even though Qin Han already knew about this pre-task, hearing it firsthand still sent a chill down his spine.
Giant Serpents were Level 10 monsters that preferred solitude. Though abundant in the forest, even with sufficient strength, tracking down and killing these terrifying creatures one by one would take an immense amount of time.
Not to mention the Level 11 Leopards and Level 12 Gray Eagles—
completing the hunt for all of them
would take even the most elite races the better part of a day.
However, it was precisely because of this pre-task’s barrier...
This is precisely why the Top-tier Archer Profession Token has remained unclaimed for so long.
As for Qin Han, the reason he dared to come here was that he knew a way to skip the grind.
Later, as players explored, those lucky enough might find a book in an inconspicuous corner of the Beginner's Village - Black Cloud Stronghold, a bandit hideout.
The book was titled Tears of the Archer, and it told the love story of an exceptional archer and a woman.
Simply by reading the book's contents and discussing it with the archery instructor, one could raise their favorability to "Friendly."
At that point, they could request the instructor to skip the pre-task!
