The Boss Behind The Game Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Predestined Archery (Part I)
Trantor: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The third day after the Naraka Realm was opened, Lu Wu finally managed to umte 200,000 soul
coins andmence his long-awaited n to construct the Spirit Summoning Pce.
After approximately thirty minutes, a towering pagoda appeared near the Mansion of the Dead.
At the same time, the yers in the game received their first surprise after thepletion of thetest
system update.
[Server Announcement: Thetest system update will introduce a new hidden character ss, the Sun
Chasing Archer, along with its Inheritance Trial. The hidden character ss is limited to ten yers
only. For more details, please ask the Character ss Instructor.]
The inheritance of the Sun Chasing Archer was the first gift from Lu Wu to the yers.
The valiant spirit Zhuri, known as the ultimate sun chaser, used to be the number-one archer under the
King of Beiqi’s reign. His ability was almostparable to the Ghost King. His archery skills were
unmatched throughout thend of Beiqi, making him one of the King of Beiqi’s most valued henchmen.
However, he was sacrificed by the patriarch of the Cursed n during the skirmish to annihte them
in order to activate the Praj?ā Scarification.
Zhuri’s death broke the King of Beiqi’s heart. Deeply saddened by his loss, the King of Beiqi knew that
there was nothing he could do. However, the King of Beiqi managed to retrieve Zhuri’s soul and keep it
in the Spirit Summoning Pce, installing him as one of the valiant spirits to be worshiped by theter
generations.
The Sun Chasing Archer was the first hidden character ss created by Bei Li after the recent
restoration of the Spirit Summoning Pce.
As the game was true to life where archery skills were difficult to master by any ordinary people, Lu Wu
had only made avable ten limited spots for the yers. In the meantime, he introduced a pilot
challenge for the yers to inherit the hidden character ss.
The prerequisites to join the pilot challenge were fairly simple. First, all the yers who registered for
the challenge would be teleported to the shooting range in the Artifact Channel that was built by Bei Li.
Then, yers had to undergo three tests. They were required to shoot fixed targets at the 50 and 100
meter range, and then a moving target at a 150 meter range.
Every yer was given five chances. The top ten yers with the highest marks would be rewarded
with the inheritance of the hidden character ss, the Sun Chasing Archer.
The pioneering project had excited many yers. However, it was apparent that the trial was extremely
difficult. An arrow would always travel in a parabolic path. Any ordinary person who had not gone
through a proper training could hardly hit an immobile target, not to mention the moving target at the
150 meter range, where the difficulty would be at its highest level.
Despite the hard challenge, the enthusiasm of the yers to achieve the hidden character ss was
not hindered. Other than the yers who were not interested in archery, most of the yers had
registered for the Inheritance Trial.
The registration ended on the next day and the number of applicants peaked at 250,000 yers.
The trial that had been keeping all the yers on pins and needles finally began. All the registered
yers were teleported to the shooting range in the Artifact Channel.
To prevent yers from affecting one another, they were separated in different spaces. From the
shooting range, a scoreboard could be seen in the distance which conveniently allowed the yers to
check their scores and rankings.
The first test was conducted at the 50 meter range. There were five rings marked on each target. The
yers would get 10 points by hitting the bullseye. Whereas for the other outer red circles, there was a
decrease of one point in ordance to the order of the rings from the center. The yers would secure
just 5 points by hitting the target but not the ring. Of course, they would earn no points at all if they
missed the targetpletely.
The minimum requirement to pass the first stage was to earn 10 points.
When the test officially began, an iron bow appeared in every yer’s hand. Meanwhile, they were also
given five arrows, respectively.
Although the first test was only conducted at a distance of 50 meters, it was already challenging for the
yers who had no experience with archery before. After finishing their five attempts, out of the
250,000 yers, there were less than 40,000 who advanced to the second stage.
Lu Wu, who had been spectating, simply felt helpless. Obviously, the archer character ss, was too
difficult to achieve. It was something that not everyone could do.
Before long, the second test started. All the yers who seeded in advancing the first test fixed
their gaze upon the scoreboard.
First ce: Li Lin (50 marks)
Second ce: Su Mu (50 marks)
Third ce: Ye Chen (50 marks)
Fourth ce: Mo Lingtian (50 marks)
Actually, all the current top ten yers managed to reach a 100% target hit rate.
For most of the yers, these people must be experts who had been practicing shooting in real life.
Otherwise, it was impossible for them to have such high uracy and hit rate.
However, Ye Chen disagreed.
Seeing the target being rearranged to 100 meters, he was gaping in disbelief.
He did not expect to achieve much from this archery inheritance and simply participated for the fun of it.
He certainly did not foresee that his amateur shooting could stillnd his arrows on the center of the
target.

Ye Chen’s face was flushed red when he saw that he was ranked third ce on the scoreboard.
When the second test began, new arrows were distributed. Ye Chen once again took out an arrow from
the quiver and put it against the bowstring.
“Whoosh!”
With a soft whistle, his arrow pierced through the wind.
“Ding!” The scoreboard in the distance lit up: 10 points
Ye Chen waspletely stunned this time. Understanding that he had never been taught archery
skills, nor had he ever touched a bow, he was bbergasted by his luck.
Perhaps, I was born a talented archer?
Therefore, he took out an arrow once again and ced it to the bow. He made a nonchnt effort to
aim at the target before he released the bow.
“10 points!”
“10 points!”
“10 points!”
“10 points!”
After the fourth arrow was shot out, Ye Chen was full of admiration toward himself and his skills.
iming to be a prodigy now, Ye Chen thought that archery was way too easy for him.
Entering the third round, there were only less than 3,500 yers left. Ye Chen’s ranking still remained
at third ce, causing him to feel increasingly ted.
When the third test started, the target, unlike before, was no longer fixed. On top of that, the distance of
the range had been increased to 150 meters. The difficulty was greatly increased as every yer was
given only thirty seconds to shoot.
Looking at the target which was moving back and forth in an arrhythmic manner at 150 meters away
from him, Ye Chen was slowly losing his confidence.
He took out an arrow and ced it on the bowstring. After he roughly predicted the movement of the
target, he released his arrow.
“Thud!”
“Ding! 10 points!”
His bowstring was still vibrating when the scoreboard announced his score from afar.
“Haha, I’m a real genius!” Ye Chen was ecstatic when he managed to score ten points once again.
The next four shots happened just as what Ye Chen predicted. Every shot hit the bullseye. When the
final result was announced, Ye Chen was extremely proud of himself.
[Server Announcement: The ranking for the Inheritance Trial is as follows. The top ten yers will
begin the inheritance for ss advancement.]
First ce: Ye Chen (150 marks)
Second ce: Mo Lingtian (149 marks)
Third ce: Li Lin (143 marks)
Fourth ce: Su Mu (141 marks)
Even though I wanted to keep a low-profile, this must be my actual ability! Seeing that he was in the
first ce, Ye Chen could not help butugh out loud.
Immediately after the ranking from the Inheritance Trial was revealed, Lu Wu looked at Bei Li and said,
“Let’s start the inheritance!”
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Bei Li nodded and transferred her consciousness into the artifact. Ten sets of the inheritance of the Sun
Chasing Archer were copied and transferred to the ten yers’ temtes. Besides that, Bei Li spent
2,000 soul coins for each yer to help them to build a new body temte so that they would be able
to adapt to the inheritance.
At the same moment when the inheritance began, Lu Wu also satisfied the curiosity of the inquisitive
yers by allowing ten live streams of the shooting range, each focused on one of the ten winners who
inherited the hidden ss.
Notifications appeared in Ye Chen’s and the others’ mind after the inheritance began.
“Congrattions! You’ve sessfully advanced your character ss to be the Sun Chasing
Archer. More details and information of the character ss can be found in the Attributes Menu.
Meanwhile, the shooting range will continue to stay open for the next thirty minutes. Hurry up and
practice your new skills at the shooting range!”
