Origin Story

在古代，有一个著名的弓箭手叫神箭手，他的箭法非常高超，百发百中。有一次，他参加了一个比赛，比赛规则是，谁射中靶心最多，谁就能获得丰厚的奖品。神箭手为了这场比赛做了很多准备，他仔细观察了靶子的距离、风向、以及自己的箭的飞行轨迹，并根据这些因素调整了自己的射箭姿势和力度。比赛开始后，神箭手一连射出了十支箭，每一支箭都精准地射中靶心。周围的人看到他的箭法，都惊叹不已。这时，主持人走过来问神箭手：“你对这场比赛有多大的把握？”神箭手自信地回答道：“十拿九稳！”,

In ancient times, there was a famous archer called the "God of Arrows". He was known for his extraordinary archery skills and never missed a target. Once, he participated in a competition where the one who hit the target the most would win a rich prize. The "God of Arrows" prepared a lot for this competition. He carefully observed the distance of the target, the wind direction, and the trajectory of his own arrows, and adjusted his archery posture and strength based on these factors. When the competition started, the "God of Arrows" shot ten arrows in a row, each one hitting the target accurately. The people around him were amazed by his archery skills. At this time, the host came over and asked the "God of Arrows": "How sure are you in this competition?" The archer confidently answered: "Ten out of ten!"
