Chapter 96: Marksmanship!
Despite his rough exterior, Gu Luo's teachings were meticulous and his demeanor always made people feel comfortable. Furthermore, Gu Luo was incredibly experienced. Walking through the firearms section, he could name each of the various weapons on the wall without even thinking, along with their specific stats, strengths, and weaknesses.
Yu Cang had come in with Qiu Ding, so naturally, they didn't have to squeeze in line at a public shooting range. Qiu Ding had an open lawn here, ensuring no one would disturb him. The targets were varied: humanoid, animal-shaped, mobile, fixed, and even flying discs. If Qiu Ding wanted, Guluo could even bring in a few real wild animals as targets, or have someone operate a professional gun target spirit card.
If you are thirsty or tired, there will be professionally dressed waiters with camouflage paint on their faces to serve you snacks and drinks at the right temperature.
Yu Cang looked at the waiters who were wearing "tactical bikinis", with capable figures and expressions that were either sassy or sweet, standing quietly by the side, with an expression that showed that his world view had grown.
He saw it when he passed by a public shooting range. The waiters there were all big and strong men. Most people who wanted to shoot had to wait in line for a long time, and the people who interacted with each other were all men.
I didn't expect that there would be such a big change just across a mountain.
Is this the world of the rich?
"This is the basic model of the Azure Wings pistol, with a caliber of 9.1 mm and an effective range of 200 meters. If used by a novice, it is usually held with both hands..." Guluo introduced to Yu Cang.
Yu Cang wore tactical gloves and professional goggles, and adjusted his movements while listening to Gu Luo's explanation.
When he came into contact with the Azure Wings, he had already turned on the entry recorder, and a ten-minute countdown appeared on it.
It seems to be a common entry.
"The basic Azure Wings doesn't feel good in the hand. If you really want to play with it, you should check out my collector's edition." Qiu Ding gently twirled a pistol with his fingers. "Watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate it once."
Qiu Ding turned around, and the staff hiding in the dark immediately understood. Three flying discs instantly flew out from a suitable position and crossed the sky!
Qiu Ding's eyes were determined, and the azure wings instantly stopped in his palm. He took off the safety and loaded the gun in one go. Then, three consecutive gunshots with very short intervals were heard in the air, and the flying disc in the distance shattered!
“Wow!”
“So handsome!!”
"Hmph, you haven't regressed yet. It seems you've been practicing hard."
On the one hand, the service team faithfully fulfilled the role of the atmosphere group.
"How is it? It's not bad, right?" Qiu Ding raised his eyebrows towards Yu Cang.
"Very accurate." Yu Cang held the pistol with a standard two-handed grip, one eye slightly closed, and took aim.
whoosh!
A flying disc flew from a distance. Yu Cang's expression changed and he immediately moved the muzzle of the gun and shot!
Bang!
No.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yu Cang fired several shots in a row until all the bullets in the magazine were empty, but he didn't hit the frisbee that was obviously flying very slowly.
In fact, only the first few shots were the result of aiming. For the next few shots, Yu Cang's gun muzzle was almost flying into the sky, so there was no way he could hit the target.
"Hiss..." Yu Cang shook his numb hands.
Cool!
Sure enough, the aesthetic of the collision between gunpowder and steel can be felt very intuitively even if you don’t hit it at all.
"When firing, be sure to control your wrist carefully so that you can suppress the recoil." Gu Luo stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Yu, as a newcomer, your progress has been obvious. Perhaps you will have a talent for shooting."
"Probably." Yu Cang nodded, his eyes lit up, and resonance had already begun.
Seeing this, Qiu Ding laughed and said, "Yu Cang, resonance won't improve your accuracy."
"I know." Yu Cang still stared at the empty space in front of him.
This time, several ground moving targets rose from the grass not far away. It seemed that the staff in secret took the initiative to help Yu Cang reduce the difficulty.
Next, there was a constant blast of gunfire.
Qiu Ding's hit rate is quite high. Even for high-speed moving objects such as frisbees, he can guarantee an 80% hit rate. And every time he makes a brilliant move, the service team behind him will make appropriate and unique exclamations and praises, and it seems that they also have their own personalities.
Yu Cang was in a much worse situation. Even if the target was a large moving target on the ground, his hit rate was ridiculously low, and as long as he fired continuously, the latter shots would almost certainly miss.
Comparing the two sides, the gap is obvious.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Guluo nodded and sent a signal with his tactical goggles.
In secret, the staff immediately received the notification. A leader-like figure stared at several monitors and spoke into the intercom, "Attention, change the behavior of the ground moving targets to increase Boss Yu's hit rate... When appropriate, have him hit once with a full magazine. The frisbee group remains unchanged, but you can add a few subtle errors to reduce Boss Qiu's hit rate."
"receive."
"receive."
A voice came from the intercom.
In a game like this where the boss brings people to play, they naturally have to operate secretly.
In particular, Qiu Ding also brought a newcomer, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity to make the boss happy.
First, secretly improve Qiu Ding's hit rate, let him show off in front of the newcomers, and then when Yu Cang "slowly finds the touch", make a big move to increase his hit rate all at once, and even slightly surpass Qiu Ding.
Then, when Qiu Ding finds something wrong and says something like "Not bad, I have to be serious too", "Warm-up is over", etc., improve Qiu Ding's hit rate, or even make him hit the target every time!
This way, both sides can be pleased, and the newcomer will most likely become their customer after feeling satisfied!
Perfect!
As for the fact that this new guy looks like just a college student or something...it doesn't matter. It's good to have a few new people in the public shooting range.
And many times, it is these college students who have never experienced anything who have sufficient purchasing power!
It’s not that college students are easy to cheat out of money, it’s just that, uh… they are more willing to spend money to satisfy their curiosity.
As for adjusting the hit rate or something... this is very easy to do. Those flying discs and moving targets are actually mostly summoned by soul cards. These soul card masters are very experienced. After observing the two people's grabbing styles, it is a piece of cake to influence the hit rate without being discovered.
Sure enough, as soon as the order was given, Yu Cang gradually felt that his "feeling" was coming.
He hit the target several times in a row, and even hit the target easily after firing continuously once!
It feels so good!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The powerful recoil penetrated through the butt of the gun and sank into his palm, making him feel a slight numbness in the bones of his palm. In contrast, every time a tongue of fire spurted out from the muzzle and pierced through the target a hundred meters away, he could feel his adrenaline surging!
Qiu Ding, who was standing nearby, raised his eyebrows upon seeing this. "Not bad, the feeling came so quickly... It's just perfect now that I've finished warming up. I'll show you my true strength."
After saying that, he threw the magazine of Azure Wing aside, took a new one from Guluo's hand, pushed it into the butt of the gun with force, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Watch carefully—"
Next to him, Gu Luo immediately understood, tapped a few times next to his goggles, and a message was sent.
It's time to move on to Phase 3!
whoosh!
Six frisbees flew out at the same time. Qiu Ding's eyes focused and he raised his gun and shot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Six gunshots rang out in quick succession, and the Frisbee exploded!
"How about it, handsome, right?" Qiu Ding looked at Yu Cang, but after seeing his results clearly, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and the words of guidance that were about to come out of his mouth stopped.
Not far away, I saw that the four moving targets had all been hit, and the scores... were all ten rings.
Obviously, this was typed by Yu Cang.
Seeing this, even Gu Luo was stunned.
In the dark, the leading staff member frowned even more and said into the intercom, "Mobile target group, there's no need to be so exaggerated. Just let Boss Yu get on the target. There's no need to hit the ten-rings every time. That's too fake."
After a moment of silence, a voice came from the other end of the intercom: "I... I'm not in control..."
"What?" The man was stunned.
…
Before he could react, the second round of frisbees had already been sent out.
Qiu Ding raised his gun and shot, but this time, someone was faster than him.
Yu Cang still maintained a fairly standard posture of holding the gun with both hands and aiming with one eye, looking like a well-behaved novice, but when he pulled the trigger, the air suddenly froze!
Bang! — Bang!
Several gunshots were fired in succession, almost overlapping and as if echoing each other. Before Qiu Ding raised his hand, Yu Cang's magazine had been emptied in an instant!
After such a high-density round of shooting, even though Yu Cang had tightened his wrist, the barrel of the gun still rose slightly under the action of the explosive recoil, and the slightly red muzzle pointed to the sky with a wisp of green smoke.
In contrast...
BANG!!!
The six flying discs in the air shattered almost at the same time, turning into countless points of light that scattered everywhere!
The Azure Wings had a total of seven bullets, so before shooting the six frisbees, Yu Cang secretly fired the first bullet while raising his hand, and it happened to hit a moving target that bounced up from the ground, and it was a ten-ring target.
At this moment, Yu Cang himself used the recoil to quickly raise his hands and destroyed all the flying discs before Qiu Ding!
"This..." In the dark, the man holding the walkie-talkie was stunned.
But looking at the equally stunned people on the field, and Guluo who was already sending a dangerous look through a monitor next to him, he immediately said with a cold sweat on his face: "Everyone, pay attention, interfere with Yu Cang's shooting, and do everything possible to ensure Boss Qiu's hit rate!"
"receive!"
whoosh!
This time, there were eight frisbees.
Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged, still maintaining the stiff shooting posture, raising his hand and shooting!
Bang!
Six bullets were fired in an instant, and the corresponding Frisbees shattered with a sound. Only the last Frisbee was left, floating alone in the sky.
"Fuck, your hand speed is a bit outrageous, isn't it?" Qiu Ding finally reacted and was shocked.
What kind of incredible wrist strength is this, you use semi-automatic as full-automatic?
You changed your gun secretly, right?
...That's not right. How could a fully automatic machine be so accurate?
He gritted his teeth, unwilling to fall behind, raised his hand and fired a shot.
Bang!
However, under such pressure, Qiu Ding's marksmanship was also affected.
His bullet seemed to be a little off, and it only grazed the edge of the frisbee, but the huge force still blew half of its body into pieces.
In the dark, a staff member was sweating profusely.
It was so close... I was so focused on watching Yu Cang's shooting skills that Qiu Ding almost missed the target... Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise Qiu Ding wouldn't even have missed the target!
"What's going on? Didn't we say we were going to interfere with Yu Cang's shooting? How come he still hit all the targets?" the leading staff member said angrily.
"We're doing it..." A doubtful voice came from the intercom, "But Yu Cang's marksmanship is too terrifying, and his shots are very decisive. The interval between each shot is ridiculously short, so there's no way he can tamper with it... If we forcefully miss the target, people will notice something's wrong!"
Hearing this, the man cursed inwardly, not even bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and quickly passed the message through a secret line to Guluo's headphones.
It's okay for them to do these little tricks secretly, which can better ensure that the boss has fun, but there is one thing that is the premise of everything - the boss must not be found out!
Otherwise, this will just become a team-based trick to fool people!
Most bosses have blind confidence in their marksmanship - they will feel that this behavior is a serious insult and lack of trust in their marksmanship.
But in fact...these people who work hard in the dark know much more about their marksmanship than they do themselves...
So, even if he was very anxious, he couldn't let the frisbee team do anything too outrageous.
You can't let the frisbee turn at a sharp angle!
Isn't that a bit too confusing...
Yu Cang followed Guluo's instructions and used the simplest loading method to change bullets, load the gun, and aim. When he raised his gun to shoot, he found that there were no more new frisbees in the air.
Huh? What's going on?
At this time, Gu Luo came up from behind with a laugh: "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Yu, how is it, are you having fun?"
He chose to cut his losses in time.
But we can’t let the boss’s friends overshadow the boss…he still knows who spends the money.
"It's okay." Yu Cang sighed and put down the Azure Wings with some regret.
"I say... brother, you're being disloyal!" Qiu Ding walked over angrily. "You... you've practiced with a gun before, right? You can't have learned this skill on the spot!"
"I'm not kidding, this is my first time touching a gun."
"Impossible! You must be playing dumb!...Okay, I admit, you've fooled me again." Qiu Ding's eyes flashed with curiosity. "How do you usually practice shooting? I've been handling guns for almost ten years, and I've never heard of your shooting skills!"
"Of course it depends on persistence and hard work." Yu Cang smiled.
His marksmanship suddenly improved...naturally, it was thanks to the entry recorder.
A few minutes ago, a line of words was written on it:
The entry is extracted and the common entry is obtained: [Shooting]
Coincidentally, the cooldown of the item equipment system had finished, so Yu Cang tried to equip this item. Sure enough, the passive of this item was similar to what he expected:
[Shooting]: Greatly improves control over firearms.
As soon as this entry was installed, Yu Cang suddenly felt that the Azure Wings in his hand suddenly became much smoother. This ordinary firearm seemed to have become an extension of his arm. Without much thought, all kinds of superb skills could naturally and continuously flow out from his muscles.
After just a brief attempt, he was surprised by the result!
His wrist strength did not improve, but the recoil of each shot was perfectly captured and reduced by Yu Cang in this state. Even in the state of high-speed shooting, he was able to completely not affect the accuracy of the next shot, and turned the semi-automatic gun into full-automatic!
So terrifying!
However, the price was that after only firing two magazines, Yu Cang already felt the bones in the upper half of his body going numb. After all, no matter how superb his skills were, the recoil force could not disappear out of thin air, and in the end, Yu Cang's own body had to bear it.
Even if Gu Luo didn't stop him at this time, he probably wouldn't be able to fight for a few rounds.
"Stop lying to me... No, you must teach me this shooting technique. I feel that Guluo's shooting technique is not as strong as yours!" Qiu Ding was not giving up.
"Yeah, Boss Yu's shooting skills... I am ashamed to be inferior to him..." Gu Luo laughed aside and signaled with his eyes. The service team next to him immediately came forward with fruits, and then one of them walked behind Qiu Ding and massaged him to relax his muscles.
Although Guluo said this... he actually knew it clearly in his heart.
Yu Cang was definitely a novice at the beginning!
When a person has no grasp of a skill, that state is difficult for a skilled person to imitate.
If Yu Cang had really practiced for so long, it would be impossible for him to imitate the stiffness of the muscles when a newcomer first touched the gun, the breathing and heartbeat when firing, and even the body temperature!
Just like a student who has been handling a pen for so long, even if he pretends that he has never used it, as long as he keeps the pen in his hand for a little longer, he will subconsciously place the pen in the most suitable places for writing or turning, and there is no way to disguise it.
He was very familiar with Yu Cang's situation; he was just a complete novice!
So there was only one possibility... He truly relied on his terrifying comprehension to hone his marksmanship to such a terrifying level in such a short period of time...
What terrifying control over his body... He must be one of those rare melee soul card masters...
Yu Cang rubbed his sore shoulders and looked at Qiu Ding who was enjoying the massage, his expression unchanged.
Gu Luo apologized, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Yu. Everything in this place belongs to Mr. Qiu. Other things are easy to deal with, but the maid can't be assigned to anyone else. We have a rule for this. Even if Mr. Qiu asks..."
"Hey, what are you talking about!" Qiu Ding, who was enjoying a back massage from a maid, waved his hand and pointed at a maid, "You, go massage my brother's shoulders."
"This..." Guluo looked embarrassed, "We have regulations..."
"Lao Gu, are you not giving me face? Or do you look down on my brothers?"
"No, no, since you said that... why don't you go quickly!"
"Oh, okay!" The maid agreed immediately.
Bullshit rules.
Gu Luo just wanted to give Qiu Ding a chance to show off and let him quickly save his lost face.
There are more than two hundred rules in the shooting range. He knows that Qiu Ding has definitely not read and memorized them all, so he definitely doesn't know whether this rule exists or not.
Besides, even if there isn’t one… there will be one after today.
Gu Luo could only be thankful that Qiu Ding was...very easy to fool. This little trick would definitely not work on other clients of Qiu Ding's level, but Qiu Ding...it was so easy to make him happy.
"This..." Yu Cang looked at the huge figure coming towards him, his expression changed slightly, and he coughed lightly, "Just, just be gentle."
"Brother, if you want..."
"That's not necessary!" Yu Cang said with a righteous look on his face and changed his sitting position.
Although I was curious, I decided not to buy the mining card.
…
After a short rest, Gu Luo brought two hunting rifles for the two of them.
"Gentlemen, now that we're all warmed up, how about going hunting for some blue sheep?"
"Okay." Qiu Ding stood up.
"I can do any of them... Oh, Coach Gu," Yu Cang hesitated, "Is there a sniper rifle that's easier to use?"
"Oh? You want to try sniping? Of course, no problem." Guluo turned around with a smile, and soon came over with a short sniper rifle. "This gun is called the 'Retracted Comet', with a caliber of 8.58mm and an effective range of about 1,800 meters."
Yu Cang's eyes lit up: "Okay, this is it!"
After a quick try, he found that the countdown for the gun was one hour long, and it was ready to be sold!
"Ah? No, then I want to try sniping too!" Qiu Ding immediately threw down the hunting rifle in his hand.
"Of course!" Guluo agreed.
After a simple adjustment, the two men rushed into the forest with sniper rifles on their backs.
Behind him, Gu Luo stood in place and said through goggles: "Everyone pay attention, control the area where the prey is released, we can't let Yu Cang defeat Boss Qiu this time!"
There were several "received" sounds coming from the headset.
…
Hunting with a sniper rifle might be a little dangerous for novices, but both of them are soul card masters, and the animals in the mountains and forests cannot pose a threat to them.
Not to mention that Guluo also considerately added a duel shield for the two of them.
Qiu Ding seemed to be determined to beat Yu Cang in the hunt. After entering the forest, he immediately headed towards a commanding height. Yu Cang climbed up a slightly higher tree, fired a few shots around, and then started fishing out of boredom.
After equipping the equipment with the [Shooting] attribute, Yu Cang's sensitivity to air flow also increased accordingly.
So the trajectory of the frisbee... although very subtle, he still noticed something was wrong.
Well, someone is manipulating it behind the scenes... I understand, it's just to make the sponsor happy.
He didn't intend to make things too difficult for Guluo and the others. After all, they were all working in a group, so if there was a chance, it would be better not to make things difficult for them.
He knew the moment he touched the retracted comet... winning was too easy for him. However, he'd just try his luck this time.
Thinking of this, he yawned boredly on the treetop. Even though several mountain goats passed by under the tree, he did not take any action.
This made the staff who were secretly monitoring a little anxious: Brother, how about your shooting skills? Let me see them again!
He took the risk of disobeying his superior's orders just to see if Yu Cang could turn the sniper rifle to full automatic mode!
Why don’t you tell me whether it is open or not?
…
Just like that, an hour had passed, and finally a line of words appeared on the entry recorder:
The entry extraction is complete, and the rare entry is obtained: [Shoot], and the common entry is: [Farsightedness]
oh?
Yu Cang's eyes lit up.
nice one!
Thanks to Ye Ling and Nanchao Yanyuzhong for the rewards!
