For example, "Demon Blade" Yoshizawa's father is in the oil business; "Three-Second Girl" Huang Ya's father is a senior police superintendent; and "Little General" Zhang Lisi has been admitted to the University of Maryland Polytechnic in the United States, simply because his mother is a member of the college's board of directors; "Black Mamba" Lu Ke is perhaps the only one who doesn't rely on his parents, because he is already the owner of a security company.
Add to that the eldest son of the Zhao family and the second daughter of the Yang family, both from families with assets exceeding 10 billion...
In reality, the "Operation Red Sea" club is nothing more than a place for a bunch of rich kids and powerful people to seek thrills!
These people are even willing to risk their lives to carry out high-difficulty missions for the sake of excitement!
To put it bluntly, they're just bored out of their minds!
Of course, Lin Chen was also bored out of his mind at this point. After all, in a sense, his identity as the "young master of the Lin family with billions in assets" probably played a role in his being able to join this group.
Looking at it from another perspective, Lin Chen felt even more certain that his choice was correct. Cultivating deep connections with these "big shots" would undoubtedly be a significant boost to his future development.
So he temporarily put aside everyone's distrust and ridicule.
However, while he could tolerate the ridicule of others, Huang Ya, the more extreme version of the delinquent girl, was an exception. Once she opened her mouth, she would talk non-stop like a machine gun, as if she wanted to belittle Lin Chen to nothing.
She even said something extremely insulting: "Are you like me, only lasting three seconds?"
This greatly displeased Lin Chen. He decisively activated his Insight skill and focused all his attention on Huang Ya, who was known as "Three-Second Girl".
Looking at the attitudes of his teammates, Zhao Zhuowen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He even began to doubt whether Lin Chen, despite his considerable skill, could truly surpass Huang Ya within seven days.
Zhao Zhuowen's gaze was deep, as if he was thinking about something. Then his gaze fell on Lin Chen, filled with anticipation and curiosity.
At this moment, Lin Chen finally spoke, his voice firm and confident: "Give me an hour. In an hour, we'll have a competition. Let's judge by the result and see who truly deserves the 'three seconds'."
Lin Chen's words stunned everyone present. They stared at him in surprise, especially Huang Ya. Lin Chen's handling of the gun subtly changed, a change so subtle it made everyone's pupils shrink.
The feeling was completely different. In just a few minutes, Lin Chen and the gun in his hand seemed to have become one, achieving a kind of indescribable tacit understanding.
How did he do that? Everyone was filled with doubt. The smile on Lin Chen's lips revealed his strong confidence.
What makes him think he can beat Huang Ya? And why did he choose to hold the competition an hour later?
The others didn't understand, but Zhao Zhuowen seemed to recall something. He remembered Lin Chen displaying astonishing potential and talent on the training field. But how could they possibly know the surprise and delight Lin Chen was feeling at this moment?
Lin Chen wanted to make a good impression, so he focused all his attention on it. In the past, he usually maximized his insight to see into other people's minds. But this time, under the collective contempt of those around him, his insight was unusually and truly focused entirely on Huang Ya.
There was no other sound in my mind except for one thought: I must master sniping skills and never let this "three-second girl" look down on me!
As Lin Chen concentrated, the voices in his mind gradually faded, until finally even Huang Ya's voice disappeared completely. Only images remained, constantly merging into his mind—images of sniping actions and key points to note. There was no sound, no words, yet Lin Chen felt his understanding of sniping techniques advancing by leaps and bounds.
The gun in his hand also changed imperceptibly. This change surprised everyone around him; they couldn't understand how Lin Chen had done it.
Once Lin Chen fully understood Huang Ya's grasp of sniping, he immediately felt more confident. Moreover, he unexpectedly discovered another use for his Insight Technique—it could actually copy another person's skills on the spot and paste them into his own body for his own use!
This discovery thrilled Lin Chen, who couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly powerful this "cheat" was!
Lin Chen agreed to the competition in an hour, and Huang Ya naturally wouldn't refuse. She sneered inwardly; an hour was only an hour. How much could Lin Chen possibly improve his sniping skills? If she defeated Lin Chen, she would undoubtedly become the top sniper for this mission.
She knew that Zhao Zhuowen had brought Lin Chen along this time as a precaution. During the last mission, the lack of a single sniper position led to their location being exposed and the mission failing. This time, Zhao Zhuowen wanted to make the mission more successful, so he had Lin Chen join in to create a second sniper position as a backup.
While ostensibly a backup plan, Zhao Zhuowen also wanted to assess Lin Chen's abilities. What if this guy was more talented than Huang Ya? Then the first sniping position might change hands.
Huang Ya stood coldly to one side, watching Lin Chen, with Yao Dao, who secretly loved her, beside her. They both looked at Lin Chen with almost unanimous hatred, hoping he would make a fool of himself.
Meanwhile, Vice Captain Yang Meilin quietly approached Zhao Zhuowen, wanting to find out more about Lin Chen. Her devoted follower, Little General, also came running, only to be glared at and sent packing by Yang Meilin. He could only sit to the side with Black Mamba, who was almost 10 years older than him, idly basking in the sun.
"Captain, are you sure you're serious?"
After confirming that no one was around, Yang Meilin removed her aloof mask, a trace of tenderness flickering in her eyes, and softly asked Zhao Zhuowen.
Zhao Zhuowen didn't turn around; his gaze remained fixed on Lin Chen, as if trying to discern his every move. "Let's wait and see. I trust my judgment," he said, his words revealing firmness and confidence.
However, only Lin Chen knew that Zhao Zhuowen wasn't actually that interested in Yang Meilin. His mind was entirely focused on Lin Ruoyue. If he knew that it was Yang Meilin's own sister who had stolen the woman he loved, would this "tyrant" still be able to remain calm?
In fact, everyone, including Zhao Zhuowen, was curious about what Lin Chen could do in that hour.
Then, they witnessed a shocking scene.
Lin Chen drew his gun, put it away, and drew it again, repeating the action over and over. At first, his movements were a little clumsy, but in less than a minute, his actions of drawing and putting away the gun were as skillful as those of veterans who had been immersed in this profession for many years.
The sniper's pursuit of perfect harmony between gun and man may sound mystical, but it truly exists. The gun is no longer a burden, but becomes an extension of the body. Lin Chen achieved this in just one minute.
After completing this step, Lin Chen raised his hand, steadily lifting the gun and aiming at a target. He closed his left eye, keeping only his right eye open, and then... bang!
A gunshot shattered the silence.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lin Chen emptied all ten bullets in the magazine in one go.
"This isn't a shooting range, this isn't a shooting competition," Huang Ya said coldly, watching Lin Chen. "Snipers snipe people, and people are moving objects, not inanimate objects. You're still far from good enough!"
Huang Ya's words sounded a bit critical, but Lin Chen didn't mind at all.
"Thank you for your guidance." He was actually being polite to Huang Ya.
However, Huang Ya felt that Lin Chen's smile at this moment was somewhat hypocritical.
After emptying the magazine, Lin Chen reloaded it and walked over to Zhao Zhuowen. "Give me a hundred bullets, now!" Lin Chen said.
"Old Dog, are you sure you're alright?"
Zhao Zhuowen hesitated for a moment. Although Lin Chen's performance just now was amazing, he never thought that Lin Chen could become an excellent sniper without a master's guidance.
He knew Lin Chen had a strong learning ability, and his original plan was for Lin Chen to learn from Huang Ya for a day. He believed that after a day, everyone in the group would look at Lin Chen with new respect!
