Every year, just before the New Year, large numbers of wild sheep, wild boar, and wild ox descend upon the Plains.
This time, to boost the girls’ enthusiasm for weapons research, I specifically ordered the production of 10,000 Muskets and took the 50,000-plus girls involved in R&D out to the field. My goal was simple: let them hunt for themselves to build their self-confidence. After all, no matter how well a weapon is designed, it is just empty talk on paper without real-world testing. Besides, I am counting on these students of mine to fight for me when they grow up; they are my core troops and must be properly trained. An ox weighs about a thousand pounds, some even two thousand; wild boars are around a thousand pounds; even the deer weigh five or six hundred pounds. The sheep are the lightest, at maybe two or three hundred pounds. As I led the tens of thousands of them to the Plains, we were greeted by hills and fields overflowing with countless wild boar, wild ox, and deer.

This boosted Wan'er's confidence significantly, and soon the other girls followed suit, firing away. A large area of animals fell amid the sound of gunfire. Of course, there were times when several people hit the same target, but the results were good regardless. From two or three hundred meters away, they could hit th…
