17: Chapter 17 Jungle Nightmare, Xinyue’s Fate 17: Chapter 17 Jungle Nightmare, Xinyue’s Fate With a whoosh, a figure burst upward from below, landing in front of Chang Ye. It was Qianlong No. 88. No. 88’s face was filled with excitement: “The seedling you brought back... has actually triggered the Gun God Line?” “Not only did he trigger the Gun God Line, but... but the four hundred shots that followed were all 10.9!” No. 88’s entire body trembled, exhaling gently: “His path might need to change; perhaps he should take the route of special operations!” Originally, everyone’s conception of Lin Xiaosu was to follow the spy’s path, but right now his trial results made No. 88 see another possibility: special operations! “There’s a problem with special operations!” Chang Ye said, “Though he has an extraordinary intuition with guns, his physical condition is a weak point. Placed in a dangerous battlefield, he would be in great danger.” “Physical qualities can be transformed!” No. 88 said: “Shall I have a talk with him right now?” “Genetic transformation is a serious matter. Modern genetic technology still has major flaws. Unless absolutely necessary, it’s better to let nature take its course.” Chang Ye said, “Let’s wait and see how far a true genius of gunmanship can go in a complex environment, relying solely on his firearm.” She flicked her finger gently, touching a button on the coffee table. At her touch, the surroundings around Lin Xiaosu suddenly changed. No longer the previous scene, he was now entirely in the middle of a dark jungle. The words appeared out of thin air: “Jungle Nightmare.” The wind blew, cold to the bone, the sound was hair-raising, and in an instant Lin Xiaosu felt as though he were in a real jungle. Enemies were all around him. His hand suddenly lifted, one shot fired, the head of a figure in camouflage who had just turned behind a tree was hit, blood splattered—although he knew this was all holographic projection, at that moment, he still felt his stomach tighten... There was a noise behind him, Lin Xiaosu turned and slid behind the tree he was just at, another shot, another one down. The jungle in front of him violently rustled, a third shot—the enemy didn’t even have a chance to show his face before he was taken out. Sh-sh-sh... Sequential shots, three different directions, three blossoms of blood... Gunshots rang out, branches and leaves flying in the jungle, incredibly real. With each shot Lin Xiaosu fired from his hand, he took down an enemy. The jungle’s exceedingly complex terrain, the various covers, seemed non-existent to him. And he himself, in the very moment an enemy raised their weapon, could always accurately pinpoint where the enemy was, and his evasion techniques were flawless, choosing the most rational option every time, as though even if time stopped and everyone held a meeting to analyze it, his choice would still be optimal. No. 88’s eyes were completely bright now. Chang Ye exhaled quietly: “This ‘Jungle Nightmare’ has perfectly replicated the actual ‘4.12’ invasion. If the one at the core of the encirclement at that time wasn’t No.1362 but him, he would have spared our comrade from sacrificing himself for his country. Instead, it would be an epic annihilation of the enemy!” Her voice fell, and the Jungle Nightmare ended! This Jungle Nightmare, rooted in real events, perfectly replicated the scene of that day, the enemy special forces invading, Qianlong No. 1362 sacrificing himself for his country. Qianlong integrated this scenario into the system to train their special operations personnel. No trial candidate, aside from official members, had ever successfully passed. But him, not only did he pass, he single-handedly annihilated the entire invading force, seventy-seven in total. No. 88 said: “I see what you mean. He doesn’t need to undergo genetic transformation. Even with his current physical capabilities, combined with his entrancing marksmanship and reaction speed, he is essentially a qualified special operations member. Even if we directly conduct the assessment now and grant him an official Gold Medal, he would be deserving.” No. 1362 was an official Qianlong Gold Medal holder. He died in that invasion. But if he swapped places with No. 1362, he successfully annihilated the invading force. What did that say about his combat abilities if he had already reached the standard of an official Qianlong Gold Medal holder? How absurd and unimaginable was that? Xinyue looked back and forth from one to the other, unable to hold back any longer: “Hey, hey, is it really that easy to become an official Gold Medal holder? You two reviewers seem to have reached a consensus. Did you even consider my feelings, unable to turn official for eight months?” “Go! Who cares about your feelings?” No. 88 glanced at her. “Damn it...” Xinyue leaped high in dismay. No. 88 calmly looked at her: “According to the Qianlong Regulations, Article 172, Clause 3, insulting a superior officer will result in a 10-point deduction! Xinyue, your current assessment points are only 852!” “I... I mean... I work day and night, always thinking about sharing Qianlong’s concerns, I didn’t curse anyone, really didn’t... Help, Sister Changye...” Xinyue was beside Chang Ye, full of flattery. Chang Ye shook her head slightly: “Given the context of what just happened, No. 88’s punishment was by the book. It can’t be changed now. Be more mindful in the future.” “I...” Xinyue turned on the spot, but before a word came out, No. 88 was watching her; she fought for several rounds with her emotions, swallowing the explosive words back down: “That kid isn’t my superior, right? It doesn’t bother anyone if I take him on, right? I’m just expressing my opinion. What’s so great about blasting a regular invading force in the jungle? If he’s got what it takes, let him come at me!” Her finger flicked, touching a watch on her wrist, entering the system! No. 88 and Chang Ye exchanged glances, simultaneously smiling. This was indeed a rather good plan. Lin Xiaosu was good at gun battles, wasn’t he? Hadn’t he just annihilated an entire invading force? But in the end, what he annihilated was just an ordinary army. Time for a change of opponent! Someone like who? Xinyue! Xinyue is a Genetic Person with extremely peculiar genes and astonishing combat abilities, especially in complex terrains. This sassy girl was brimming with resistance, representing herself and competing against this newly emerged prodigy in marksmanship on a complex and simulative battlefield, just to see if he could survive a true Genetic Master’s hunt armed with nothing but his gun. Xinyue had already passed the trials. She wasn’t an official Qianlong Gold Medal yet, not because of her skills—she was, in fact, indistinguishable from the official Gold Medal holders in terms of combat prowess. The system contained a record of all her Skills, marking her at her best. By connecting to the system, she could summon her own digital avatar to face Lin Xiaosu in a head-to-head clash. The jungle in the system remained. But the enemy was gone. Suddenly, Lin Xiaosu felt a jolt of surprise—enemy ahead! His gun swiftly rose, a shot fired! The moment the gun was fired, the enemy was right there, but in the blink of an eye, it had moved behind him. A faint shadow glided through the air. This wasn’t an ordinary enemy—it was an invisible one! And its speed was incredibly fast, definitely Non-human! Lin Xiaosu’s gun swept up from beneath his rib, another shot fired! The figure behind him skimmed close to the ground, fast as lightning, Lin Xiaosu’s waist twisted sharply, another shot fired. This bullet, targeted not directly at the head of the invisible foe but at his projected path, would meet him should he not alter his course. This shot! Qianlong No. 88’s heart skipped a beat. Marksmanship was something all Qianlong members excelled in, but most judged their shooting by accuracy alone—who could transcend mere “accuracy,” predicting the enemy’s movement and setting a trap with their gun? Only a handful of gun gods could do that. Lin Xiaosu was cunning enough to set such a trap, especially against an invisible enemy. This move was too damn cool. Qianlong No.88 questioned himself—if he were just relying on his gun, could he do better under these circumstances? Most likely not. Damn, this is defying the heavens... Xinyue was also taken by surprise. Even though she was just a digital avatar and not a real person at that moment, her entire focus was linked with her digital self, feeling everything as if in her own body. Confronted with such preemptive shooting, Xinyue’s real skills came into play—she tapped the ground sharply with the tip of her toes and soared into the air. This was an improvised change in direction. Such a maneuver was itself incredible, as dodging bullets by changing directions at such a moment meant one could avoid gunfire. However, her sudden change in direction was still anticipated by Lin Xiaosu. He raised his hand and fired three shots, forming a triangle that enclosed all of Xinyue’s possible spaces for rising. What a Xinyue, she twisted her body sharply like a twister. Dodging all three bullets simultaneously. The bullets missed, but the momentum of her upward movement vanished. At that brief moment of hesitation, Lin Xiaosu’s gun fired the last bullet—pfft! The holographic projection of Xinyue’s left chest burst open! “Ah!” Xinyue in the yard let out a scream, grabbing her left chest and tearing off the sensor connected to her body, she exited the system. Before exiting the system, she had to endure the real sensation of pain (the sensor would stimulate her body with an electric current to simulate the pain of the injury in the system); after exiting, the pain naturally disappeared. The pain gone, her chest intact, but Xinyue was completely furious: “Damn it, I’m gonna kill him in real life!” “Can’t you be a bit more ambitious?” Qianlong No.88’s face darkened, “You, as a Genetic Person and self-proclaimed ‘First Reserve,’ got into such a state with someone ordinary in your field of expertise and you still have the nerve to want to kill him in reality?” Xinyue’s face clouded over, her chest heaving rapidly, yet she held back her footsteps from storming down the mountain. Qianlong No. 88’s gaze shifted to Chang Ye: “This new member has passed the firearms track. Shall we offer him the Reserve slot now?” “No rush! His journey has just begun, let’s not constrain his path too early,” Chang Ye responded leisurely, “I will continue to monitor him and see which track he chooses next.” “Alright, I’m off!” Qianlong No. 88 moved and left the yard. Chang Ye’s gaze turned toward Xinyue. Xinyue was still fuming. Chang Ye smiled, “There are specialties within professions, who among Qianlong members hasn’t lost before? You’re upset after one loss?” Xinyue groaned, “Sister Changye, if you want to comfort me, can you find another phrase? Specialties within professions... His field is criminal investigation, mine is special operations. I lost precisely in my field of expertise, not his.” “I’ve already mentioned, don’t define his path too early. For all we know, special operations could be his path,” Chang Ye murmured tranquilly. Xinyue’s eyes brightened slightly, “Do you mean to say, one day, I might carry out special ops missions with him?” Chang Ye smiled faintly, “Looking forward to it?” “Look forward to what? That bastard dare to explode my chest, what are my breasts for? They’re for my future son’s sustenance. He’s smashing my breasts; he’s smashing my son’s sustenance. Can I forgive him? I must hang him up and beat him first. He thinks he can team up with me without letting out this breath? No way!” With that, her figure rose, and she vanished from sight.
