Chapter 331 Failure

The staff originally planned to take them to the intermediate level area, but Xia Yue went straight to the area marked "Advanced Level" and said, "Let's go straight to the highest difficulty level."

The crowd watching began to boil.

"Holy crap! This little sister is awesome!"

"Sure! That's exciting enough!"

"She's too young. Pride comes before a fall." Of course, some people are not optimistic about her challenge.

When the boss saw Xia Yue heading towards the high-end area, his eyes narrowed with joy: "Okay, okay, little sister! I like courageous women like you!"

Xia Yue gave him a cold look and said, "Let's get started."

So the boss walked to the counter and took out a very exquisite automatic rifle.

"Since you've chosen the advanced challenge, I'll personally accompany you. The advanced section is a two-person challenge, usually involving only staff members. But today, it's a duel between you and me. There are forty targets in total, and we'll see who hits the most. Each miss will result in a one-point deduction. How do you say it?"

The boss introduced the rules, but did not hand the rifle to Xia Yue. Instead, he acted as if he was going to do it himself.

"Hey, this gun is my personal property, is that okay with you?"

Xia Yue didn't say anything, but just responded calmly: "Just give me any one, let's get started."

Her attitude made the boss a little angry. What's so great about it? Do you really think I'm a vegetarian?

Although he's not a veteran, he was once a gold medalist in the national shooting competition. It's easy for him to deal with a girl like you, not to mention...

A hint of cunning flashed in the boss's only exposed eyes.

"What's going on? This is the first time I see the boss in person."

"Hey, the boss can't hold it in any longer and wants to do it himself."

"Is this girl so powerful?"

"Of course not. You came too late and didn't see what she showed just now. It was simply stunning."

The atmosphere of the onlookers was gradually aroused, and they began to look forward to the match between the two.

But only the boss knew that he would definitely win this time.

He brought Xia Yue to an old cabinet, then opened it and pointed at the guns randomly piled inside that looked very old and almost obsolete.

"Those are the guns you can use."

"What do you mean?"

Li Muhan stared at the boss with some dissatisfaction.

"Hey there! This advanced challenge is definitely going to test a shooter's overall abilities! Besides accuracy, firearm tuning is also considered part of the challenge. What's going on? Am I wrong?"

"Then you use these fucking guns too."

Li Muhan couldn't help but want to slap the man, but Xia Yue had no objection at all. She directly picked up an old bolt-action rifle, took a rough look at the situation, and nodded to Li Muhan.

"That's it."

"Are you ready?"

The boss's eyes fell on the old and poorly maintained rifle in Xia Yue's hand, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking the girl's carelessness. If you look carefully, there are actually two guns that can still be used.

It seems that he is not an expert. I was too cautious before.

He calmly loaded the magazine of the automatic rifle in his hand, then gracefully moved to the shooting position on the side, facing Xia Yue, and bowed like a gentleman with a noble posture.

But his tone was very joking as he said, "Beautiful lady, although I am a man who cherishes women, in this competition, I will leave no stone unturned. Haha, if you can't stand losing later, remember to go back and hug your good-for-nothing boyfriend for comfort, hahahahahahaha."

The boss's words made some onlookers laugh, but most people thought he was going a bit too far.

The young couple who had been watching the whole time were also speaking up for Li Muhan: "Do you know she's a loser? She just didn't make a move. You should beat this girl first before you talk nonsense!"

"That's right! The more talkative a person is, the worse he is!"

"It's not a big deal for a grown man to bully a little girl!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming unfavorable to him, the boss didn't want to waste any more time. He stared at Xia Yue and issued an ultimatum: "If you are ready, we can..."

Li Muhan's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, oh no. Why is this boss courting death? Why did you provoke her?

Although he was scolding himself, Li Muhan had already begun to worry about his life.

However, Xia Yue did not get angry as he expected. She slowly turned her head and gave the boss a positive look for the first time. Her deep eyes did not reveal anger, but a calm and mysterious smile.

At that moment, the boss seemed to see a barely perceptible red light flash across Xia Yue's eyes, which made him wonder if he was dazzled.

He rubbed his eyes, but the chill that had penetrated his heart just now did not dissipate. The moment Xia Yue stared at him, his body shuddered involuntarily, stemming from the instinctive fear of the unknown threat deep in his heart.

"Let's get started."

She spoke the last few words for her boss.

The boss snorted disdainfully and gestured to a nearby staff member. The man immediately pressed the start button, and with the rousing music, the final contest officially began. The target instantly appeared before everyone's expectant gazes. Xia Yue didn't hesitate. Almost the instant the target appeared, she raised her gun, aimed, and fired.

This move scared the boss. The other party's movements were so fast that his eyes couldn't keep up.

But unfortunately...

Bang--

The dull thud of the old rifle echoed across the range, yet, surprisingly, the target remained motionless.

Instead, there was a smoking crater on the specially designed wall behind the shooting range.

Off...off target? ?

This was the first time the girl missed the target, and everyone was surprised.

"Don't worry, Xia Yue."

"Don't take it to heart, Xia Yue." Li Muhan tried to comfort her, but he keenly noticed the strangeness on Xia Yue's face. It was not loss or nervousness, but some confusion.

Bang--

Then the boss's shot hit the target accurately.

"Hehehe, little girl, don't be too nervous. The real challenge is still to come." The boss laughed triumphantly, not hiding his sarcasm at all.

“…”

Xia Yue did not respond, but raised the gun calmly again and shot again.

"Bang--"

However, the same result happened again, and the target remained standing. This time, the doubts and discussions in the audience were more obvious, and questioning voices began to emerge from the crowd.

"What... is going on?"

"Is this the sharpshooter you were bragging about? That's it?"

"Was she really lucky just now?"

Xia Yue remained silent, her eyes determined. She raised the rifle in her hand for the third time, ready to try again.

Bang--

Still missed the target.

The crowd couldn't hold it in any longer and started to laugh.

Bang.

This time the bullet shot out from the boss's gun and hit the target with incredible accuracy. Then he even turned around calmly and waved to the crowd.

"Xia Yue, what's going on?"

Li Muhan walked to Xia Yue and looked at her with some concern.

Xia Yue put down the gun and turned her gaze to Li Muhan. Her face was emotionless as she said calmly, "There's something wrong with the gun. It's not just a lack of maintenance. The guns in that cabinet must have been tampered with."

"Damn it!"

Li Muhan was furious when he heard what Xia Yue said. He turned around and pointed at the boss and cursed, "You bastard! You're such a jerk, aren't you?!"

The boss took his time, accurately shooting down another moving target, then blew a whistle and raised his eyebrows provocatively at Li Muhan: "Young man, if you lose, you lose. Don't throw dirty water on me."

The crowd around them erupted in laughter. "Hahahahaha, now we're in for something interesting to watch."

"It turns out I was just lucky. I was wondering, how could a little girl be so powerful?"

"Her boyfriend is anxious, anxious, look at him, hahahahahaha."

The crowd's attitude suddenly changed, and even those who had witnessed Xia Yue's superb skills began to waver, wondering if their eyes had deceived them.

The direction of public opinion reversed in an instant, making the atmosphere on the scene subtle.
