For the next few days, Lin Nai spent almost every night at the shooting range.
Linna has been skipping classes at the Night Watch Academy for several days now.
The main reason is that he feels there's nothing left to learn at school.
In practical training courses, he has far surpassed his peers.
As for theoretical classes, let's not even talk about them.
Linnaeus wasn't particularly gifted in the past, so he focused more on studying theoretical courses.
He had already mastered the basic theoretical knowledge of superhumans that a regular university would cover in four years.
So now there's no need to spend time cramming on theoretical knowledge.
Lin Nai thought to herself, if she had chosen to give up back then because she lacked talent, she would definitely be wasting more time on theoretical knowledge now.
In this light, the old saying that only those who are prepared and have accumulated experience can seize opportunities is not entirely wrong.
Time flies.
There is one week left until the college freshman competition.
That day, as usual, Linna took Wanye to the shooting range near her home.
On hot days, more and more people on the street are starting to wear short sleeves, and girls' short skirts and shorts are gradually becoming a beautiful sight in the city.
However, even in such weather, five strangely dressed figures, all wearing thick hooded robes and completely covered up, lay prone in the flowerbed opposite the shooting range, peering at Linnaeus and Yewan'er through binoculars.
Passersby cast strange glances at them.
I thought to myself, "Are these people crazy? Aren't they hot wearing such thick robes in this sweltering heat?"
The man in the black robe lowered his binoculars and cursed, "No way, this kid is always hanging out with that girl. The college freshman competition is coming up soon, and if this continues, we won't be able to find a chance to get close to him!"
The man in the white robe beside him was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems there's no other way. We can't delay any longer... How about this, we split up. A few of us will distract the girl, and the remaining two will contact Lin Nai."
The man in the black robe asked, "Will this work? Didn't you say that girl might be very strong?"
The man in white robes said, "This is Yecheng. No matter how strong she is, she shouldn't be more than level 10. With the abilities of the few of us, even if we can't beat her, we shouldn't have any problem holding her off."
The man in the black robe said, "Alright, let's do it this way then."
Clearly, the days of waiting in ambush had made him a little impatient.
......
Inside the shooting range.
"Brother Linnai, someone has been following and spying on us for the past few days." Night handed over a towel.
"I know." Lin Nai took the towel and wiped the sweat from her face. "Let them spy if they want to. It won't hurt them. Let's see what they want to do first."
"Hmm..." Ye Wan'er thought about it and agreed.
The fact that these people were discovered means that their strength is not enough to pose a threat.
Here, this is for you.
Linna then handed over a cup of milk tea.
“...Huh?” Ye Wan’er paused for a moment, then looked up at Lin Nai in a daze.
"Thank you so much, Instructor Ye, for helping me with this special training these past few days." Lin Nai smiled as she looked at the girl. "I remember you like this."
Nightfall blushed slightly as she accepted the milk tea with both hands: "Th...thank you..."
The milk tea cup was ice-cold, and holding it in my hands on a hot summer day felt very comfortable.
The girl lowered her head and took a sip from the straw.
Slightly cool, with a delicate sweetness.
A slight ripple stirred in the girl's heart.
Lin Nai was unaware of the subtle changes in the girl's feelings.
He looked at the level 5 Tigrex in his inventory and fell into deep thought.
After ten days of intensive training, he can now basically master the level 2 sniper rifle, and his shooting accuracy within a range of 500 meters is generally very good.
Lin Yuxi told him that such a learning ability was already terrifyingly fast, and besides, he wasn't even a Soul Gunner yet.
This proves that Linnaeus did indeed have a talent for firearms.
But Linnaeus still felt it was too slow.
The college freshman competition is just around the corner.
At this speed, when will we be able to use the Tigrex?
Night seemed to see through Lin Nai's thoughts and said, "Brother Lin Nai, if you want to quickly master the high-level soul energy sniper rifle, I might have a way."
"Oh?" Linnaeus asked, "What method?"
Night Child: "You can try using divine power."
"Divine power?" Lin Nai was taken aback. "Is that possible?"
Lin Nai had considered this idea before.
The kinetic energy of the Soul Energy Gun comes from soul power.
Although both are forms of energy, soul power and divine power have completely different frequencies.
Linnai tried to control the Soul Energy Gun with divine power, but the result was that the collision of the two forces made the Soul Energy Gun's vibrations even more chaotic.
“Yes, it’s possible,” Night said. “During gun class, I tried using magic to control a human’s soul energy gun. After some simple experimentation, I discovered a way for the two energies to communicate. I just need to slightly change the control technique.”
Lin Nai thought to herself, the "simple exploration" this girl was talking about was probably not so simple after all...
But if divine power can truly control the Soul Energy Gun, that would be the best outcome, definitely a shortcut for him.
"Alright, let's give it a try then." Lin Nai thought, gathering divine power and picking up a level 3 soul energy sniper rifle. "Tell me, Instructor Ye, how to do it is entirely up to you to train me."
......
It went on until late at night.
Linna and Yewan finally emerged from the shooting range.
"They're out."
Upon seeing this, the black-robed and white-robed men, who were crouching in the distance, immediately raised their hands and gestured: "Target has appeared."
Behind them were men dressed in yellow, purple, and gray robes, all with serious expressions of preparing to "get to work."
"Speaking of which, isn't that Linnaeus an apostle of the White Reaper?" the man in the yellow robe asked疑惑地. "He's not a gunslinger type of character, so why does he always hang out at the shooting range?"
"Who knows?" The man in black waved his hand. "Never mind that, let's prepare to move out!"
......
Linna and Yewan'er prepared to go home.
The path was quiet at night. It was very peaceful at night, with hardly anyone around, except for the cicadas chirping alone in the bushes by the roadside.
Lin Nai looked at a public toilet by the roadside and said, "Wan'er, I'm going to use the toilet. Wait for me for a moment."
The girl stopped and stood still: "Okay."
Lin Nai then went to the toilet.
Lin Nai entered the public men's restroom and stood by the urinal to relieve himself.
At that moment, his ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly realized something.
"Hmm?" Lin Nai didn't turn around, but glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye.
Two figures approached him silently.
One was wearing a white robe, and the other was wearing a black robe.
Both of them wore hoods, covering their bodies completely, leaving no room for wind.
