Chapter 240: Going to Tsinghua University or Peking University? The slingshot's power was so formidable that the stone disappeared completely from Han Cheng's line of sight... Or rather, it never appeared in his line of sight in the first place. Han Cheng, upon realizing this, muttered a word of dismay and quickly covered his head with his hands, and then... And then, the next moment, he felt relieved. Because a crisp sound rang out, followed by a series of rumbling noises. Han Cheng turned his head toward the sound and saw the stone projectile rolling down from the roof, falling into the snow below. Well, the newly built house would need to replace some tiles now. The onlookers, who were watching from afar, were dumbfounded. At this moment, they fully understood why the Divine Child had asked them to stand so far away.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m) They truly experienced the terrifying power of the slingshot. The Divine Child was right; this thing's lethality was significant, almost to the point of not distinguishing between friend and foe. Han Cheng looked at the stunned crowd, sniffed slightly, and thought, damn it, apart from being a little off target and smashing some tiles, my shot was perfect. Do you have to look at me with such eyes? It was just slightly off, hitting the house behind and to the side... But regardless, Han Cheng had demonstrated the power of the slingshot. With his current physique, under normal circumstances, he could only throw a stone about twenty meters, and that was if it was the right size and felt comfortable to throw. But now, with the help of the slingshot, the stone he just threw had exceeded thirty meters... The Second Senior Brother eagerly held the slingshot, and the onlookers moved farther away. Han Cheng even considered flipping a pottery basin over his head to use as a helmet. In the strange atmosphere of anticipation and alertness among the onlookers, the Second Senior Brother sShamanng his arm, and the slingshot made a sharp sound as it cut through the air. Before Han Cheng and the others could see clearly, they saw smoke rising from a point more than forty meters away, followed by the stump standing there, tilting backward and making a crashing sound. The Second Senior Brother's shot perfectly demonstrated the power of the slingshot. The onlookers, seeing this scene, had eyes shining with excitement. Only Han Cheng was sniffling. Damn it, can the difference be any more obvious? The Second Senior Brother was even more excited. He trotted over to prop up the fallen stump and then returned to where he had just stood, stepping back another ten meters or so. He loaded a stone into the slingshot, sShamanng it, and released one end into the air, and the stone flew out swiftly. Although he didn't hit the stump this time, the stone flew nearly eighty meters before landing. This scene left the onlookers even more dumbfounded, their eyes gleaming with amazement. It was hard to imagine that stones could be thrown so far with such a simple tool. Even though this scene was happening before their eyes, they still found it hard to believe. Next, the slingshot circulated among the hands of the onlookers. Among them, the one who threw the stone the farthest and most accurately with the slingshot was still the Second Senior Brother, the slingshot master. His farthest throw reached an astonishing one hundred and three meters! The distance achieved by the Second Senior Brother's slingshot was nearly twenty meters farther than the farthest distance shot by the Third Senior Brother using a bow and arrow! However, Third Senior Brother wasn't discouraged because he had learned from the Divine Child that the bow was large and thick enough as long as the materials used were suitable. The strength was sufficient, and arrows could be shot even farther. Hou Yi shot down the sun with a bow and arrow, not a slingshot. Furthermore, although the slingshot could throw farther, it wasn't as accurate as shooting with arrows. If used for hunting, the noise the slingshot makes would easily scare away prey... Few people were as steadfast in their belief in using bows and arrows as Third Senior Brother. After Han Cheng brought out the slingshot and everyone saw its power, many who were initially enthusiastic about bows and arrows began to waver. Take Tie Tou, for example. At this moment, he was torn between his bow and a slingshot, one in each hand. He didn't need to be so indecisive, he would soon realize. After hesitating for a long time and finally choosing to use the slingshot, he discovered the massive gap between him and the Second Senior Brother. The onlookers, seeing this scene, had eyes shining with excitement. Only Han Cheng was sniffling. Damn it, can the difference be any more obvious? The Second Senior Brother was even more excited. He trotted over to prop up the fallen stump and then returned to where he had just stood, stepping back another ten meters or so.

After hesitating for a long time and finally choosing to use the slingshot, he discovered the massive gap between him and the Second Senior Brother. So, he gave up the slingshot and switched to using a bow and arrow, only to be beaten badly by Third Senior Brother... Tie Tou sat on the ground, feeling somewhat dejected, watching Third Senior Brother and the Second Senior Brother shooting arrows and playing with slingshots not too far away, feeling helpless. Han Cheng could empathize with Tie Tou's current mood. When he was younger, he had agonized over whether to go to Tsinghua University or Peking University when he grew up, only to suddenly realize after entering high school that neither of these schools had anything to do with him... The emergence of the slingshot, which served as a substitute for bows and arrows to some extent, disrupted the firm determination of the people in the Green Sparrow tribe to pursue bows and arrows, just like Tie Tou. Many people were now torn. Han Cheng saw all of this, but besides urging everyone to accelerate the production of bows, arrows, and slingshots and dedicate time to practice every day, he said little else. People each had their strengths. It was impossible for everyone to reach the proficiency levels of the Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother in both weapons. Han Cheng's idea was simple: first, let everyone become familiar with these two new types of weapons. Then, after some time, classify them based on their mastery of these two weapons. Those better at shooting arrows would use bows and arrows in the future, while those who excelled with slingshots would specialize in slingshots. If one or two individuals were equally skilled in both weapons, they could choose one as their main weapon based on their interest, with the other as a secondary weapon. He had other plans for those who weren't proficient in either weapon and wouldn't let them idle. After classification, they would spend time training every day. Once the tribe's people became proficient in using these two weapons, relying on the hedgehog-like walls built by Han Cheng, they wouldn't need many people to firmly guard the tribe. Then, Han Cheng could confidently lead other people to do other things. Han Cheng shared this idea with Shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother, who naturally agreed with Han Cheng's proposal. Shaman extended his tree-root-like hand and groped back and forth on the bows, arrows, and slingshots, his face filled with anticipation and piety. He expressed to Han Cheng his intention to sacrifice to the gods and thank them for protecting the tribe. He had this idea since yesterday when he witnessed the power of the bow and arrow, but he hadn't had a chance to say it before Han Cheng brought out the slingshot, a weapon that was just as powerful as the bow and arrow. With weapons like this, possessing just one was enough to keep the tribe strong. And now, thanks to the Divine Child, their tribe suddenly had two! How could such a thing not be reported to the gods? The harsh cold of winter couldn't extinguish Shaman's fiery heart.
