These people didn’t dine in the canteen but went back to eat the assistant’s food, which itself indicated that they had passed the assessment! Passing the assessment means they are Qianlong reserves. As long as their points meet the standard, they would become the real Qianlong Gold Medal that everyone dreams of. “Hey, brother!” Lin Xiaosu patted the shoulder of the young man eating timidly next to him. The young man looked up and gave him a slight smile in response. “What’s your name?” “Zhou Zhen. And you?” said the young man. “Lin Xiaosu.” Lin Xiaosu said: “What’s your specialty?” Zhou Zhen said, “My coming here might be an accident, I... I just like to tamper with computer viruses.” “Hacker?” “No, the brother who brought me here said that I can’t be called a hacker in the future, but should be called Red Hacker.” “When did you get here?” “Just now! How about you, little Su?” “I also just arrived... You must have chosen the espionage tactics area, right?” “Yes, the ‘Net Control’ sub-area within the espionage tactics zone. Which area did you choose?” An ordinary question, yet Lin Xiaosu hesitated before answering after a long pause: “Firearms, I guess.” After dinner, it was training time. Lin Xiaosu and Zhou Zhen parted ways at the entrance of the training area. Zhou Zhen went to the espionage tactics zone, while Lin Xiaosu entered the firearms area. On the hilltop behind, a small courtyard resembled those of the Jiangnan water towns, where a woman sat on a swing, her tiptoes lightly touching the ground, sending the swing flying, looking extremely at ease. She was none other than Changye. But Changye at this moment was completely different from the Changye that Lin Xiaosu had seen. Her facial contours hadn’t changed, but her skin was three shades whiter than the outside world’s, because she had removed her simulated protective skin. Upon removal, her skin was like that of a baby’s that had never seen sunlight. Her hair was no longer immaculate but floated up high. She seemed as if she had shed her shackles, presenting a fairy-like airiness and grace. Across from her, a petite beauty with incredibly agile eyes and a small mouth busy eating grapes. The grapes on the table disappeared at an astonishing rate; in just a moment, as her mouth moved chaotically, the grapes visibly dwindled, thinning out until only one was left. The petite girl spoke up: “Sister Changye, can’t you really come up with a poison antidote for yourself?” “I have some clues, but haven’t truly succeeded yet.” “You have to push harder, really. You’ve already ripened completely; you should make some arrangements for your future man, otherwise, wouldn’t all that boundless charm be wasted?” “Xinyue, oh Xinyue, can’t you think about something normal at such a young age?” sighed Changye lightly. “I’m always thinking about normal things. I keep wondering, which immortal did I offend to make my Reserve points always encounter some mishap when it’s close to the threshold of a thousand, knocking it down again?” “Cough...” Changye’s face showed a hint of complication... Suddenly, her eyes fixed on a certain direction. Xinyue followed her gaze. In the void in front of them, a projection appeared. It was a handsome man, walking with a swagger toward a test zone, which displayed two big letters: Zone B. “Zone B! Firearms area!” Xinyue exclaimed in surprise: “Didn’t you say the guy you brought back was a criminal investigation genius? Why isn’t he entering the fourth sub-area of the espionage tactics zone? Why did he go to the firearms area?” “This guy... this guy is quite bizarre. Sometimes he seems very smart, but at other times he’s a bit confused. No worries, he will take a tour inside and soon learn what ‘professional mismatch’ means. After hitting the south wall, he’ll turn back, right?” Lin Xiaosu entered the firearms area. He swiped a card across the door, and his personal information appeared on the big screen in front of him, along with the basic rules of the firearms area. The firearms area was a broad category, including all types of firearms and equipment. Whether guns or equipment, they were all laid out there for you to use at any time, with the instruction manuals displayed on the side. Lin Xiaosu walked past the shelves in front of him, experiencing a scenery that couldn’t be felt in the outside world. Dragon Dagger, seven inches and eight minutes long, made of tungsten gold, capable of stabbing, slashing, and chopping, and the blade could withstand a weight of two hundred pounds... Dragon Rope, eighteen meters long, capable of bearing a weight of five hundred pounds... Hairpin, with a range of fifty meters, a War Spy weapon... Dragon Blade, three feet long, specially used in tactical combat... Reverse Hood, specially designed for women, concealing hairpin, a War Spy weapon... Lin Xiaosu looked at all kinds of equipment, his thoughts completely sidetracked. Damn, what exactly have I gotten myself into? It’s bad enough that teacups, plates, briefcases, and umbrellas can become lethal weapons, even bras and hair clips can become tools for murder. Aren’t they afraid we will all have psychological trauma, with our nerves constantly on edge during romance? Does this place not allow us to enjoy life happily anymore? Lin Xiaosu did not touch the cold weapons. And then it was the conventional firearms. There were all types of firearms available. Submachine guns, machine guns, rocket launchers, all types of weaponry were available, even miniature missiles included. Of course, what they were loaded with was training ammunition... Lin Xiaosu picked up a small handgun, only eight inches long, about the size of a larger mobile phone; he mused that if he were really out on a mission, he’d likely choose a gun of this size. Then, with the gun in hand, he pushed open a door beside him. On the other side of the door was a huge platform surrounded by walls. But the moment Lin Xiaosu entered, the lights came on, and the platform space magically transformed into a vast wilderness. He knew this wasn’t magic; it was modern holographic projection technology. The gun in his hand wasn’t real either, similar to a game controller. Essentially, he was playing a game, but this game was highly realistic; if he hit a target in the game, as long as he switched to a real gun, he could hit a target in a real environment as well. Hence, this was training. Targets appeared in front of him, roughly a hundred meters away. “He’s chosen a G2 pistol; short firearms have strong concealability, but the downside is that accuracy is hard to control. How many shots do you think it’ll take for him to hit the target?” Chang Ye lightly tapped her toe on the ground. Projected in front of her, the full scene before Lin Xiaosu appeared. Xinyue chuckled, “This guy who has buried himself in his studies is already doing well if he can see the target clearly, and you still expect him to hit it?” “You’re wrong there. You can say his physically skills are weak, but never say his eyesight is poor. I bet he can hit the target within three shots!” Pshew! Lin Xiaosu pulled the trigger, and the first bullet missed the target by at least ten meters. That’s the drawback of a handgun. Because of their short length, it’s actually very difficult to control the accuracy. In modern society, hitting a criminal from fifty meters away is already indicative of a sharpshooter; at a hundred meters, it’s purely a matter of chance. “I told you, this is what you call a mismatch of expertise!” Xinyue cheerfully exclaimed, mysteriously producing a bag of sunflower seeds and began cracking them open... The second shot was fired, and Xinyue froze, “Damn, he hit it! A blind cat running into a dead rat, perhaps?” The third shot, the electronic screen displayed: 8 rings! The fourth shot, 9 rings! The fifth shot, 10 rings! The sixth shot, 10.5 rings! Lin Xiaosu spun the gun on his fingertip, adding difficulty for himself, raised his hand, and the seventh shot scored 10.5 rings! Chang Ye shot to her feet, her eyes shining brightly. Xinyue shrieked, “Damn his luck, how can he be so fierce? He must’ve practiced, right?” “The information shows he hasn’t trained before! And his score of 10.5 rings, he worked his way up from missing the target, slowly improving. He was clearly unfamiliar with the gun at first, but in just seven shots, he’s become extremely skilled. Pay attention to his movements.” Lin Xiaosu spun around sharply, completing a 360-degree turn, and raised his hand to fire! From raising his arm to the bullet firing, there was no hesitation; however, the screen showed a score of 10.6 rings! Xinyue said, “This is unbelievable. I spent three full months training to achieve an accuracy of over 100 rings with ten shots, which was already an unprecedented feat in ‘Qianlong’... well, quite rare indeed. And this guy does it in a flash! You still dare say he hasn’t trained?” Chang Ye’s gaze flickered, “Shooting relies on eyesight first, the coordination and stability of hand-eye unity second, and the intuition for correcting parameters third. I have no doubts about his eyesight; his intuition seems exceptional as well. Now it’s time to see his stability. If he can keep every shot above 10 rings from now on, he will be the second gun god since 066!” Lin Xiaosu fired ten consecutive shots, each scoring 10.8 rings. After ten shots, another ten shots, all scoring 10.9 rings! The highest standard! The next 50 shots were also 10.9 rings. Chang Ye and Xinyue’s mouths hung open a bit too wide. Startled by his stability. Next, Lin Xiaosu began to show off variety; he spun around, then ran a few steps on the ground, firing his gun in the midst of running, and even suddenly leaned backward while shooting. His movements completely defied the norms of the shooting range. Normally, people wish to maintain a relatively stationary state to preserve good results, fearing that a slight error in positioning might cost them the optimal shooting angle. But Lin Xiaosu, as restless as a monkey, leapt up and down, yet every time he fired his gun, each shot reliably hit 10.9 rings without fail. Unmatched stability. A hundred shots! Two hundred shots! Three hundred shots! Five hundred shots! With a loud bang, the electronic screen displayed a large bloom, a bullet streaked through the screen like flowing light, incredibly dazzling and strikingly shocking. Xinyue and Chang Ye both cried out in unison, “He triggered the Gun God Line...” 500 consecutive shots above ten rings, triggering the Gun God Line, signifying direct clearance of the fixed target challenge, and marking the birth of the training range’s best record.
