At noon, I returned home. Princess was already there, waiting outside with another girl.
I finally let out a long sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that the shooting practice wasn’t going smoothly, it was mainly that Jian Xingde talked too much! Luckily, the gun practice went really well, surprisingly well. I even suspected I was another Nobita Nobi.
Because I’d never properly handled a gun in my life, I never knew I was a natural sharpshooter!
Nobita Nobi, upon first touching a real gun, directly faced and instantly killed two Western bandits, sniped 30 bandits with the town mayor, and with Doraemon’s assistance, directly started a massacre, every shot hitting its mark! I wasn’t that outrageous, but at the 15-meter target, my first shot hit the target, the 10th bullet hit a ten, and the following 10 bullets hit 8 tens.
Jian Xingde and Yue Pengju were astonished.
But this was just the beginning.
25-meter target, the first bullet directly hit the target, the 6th hit a ten, and the following ten shots were all tens! At this point, Jian Xingde and Yue Pengju were almost speechless, silently replacing it with a 50-meter target.
The first bullet directly hit the target, the 5th hit a ten, and the following ten shots were all tens! 80-meter target.
The first bullet was an eight, the 4th hit a ten, and then again, ten shots, all tens!
Jian Xingde and Yue Pengju were completely dumbfounded.
They weren’t strangers to sharpshooters; on the contrary, they’d seen many.
But they had never seen, never even imagined, that someone who had never touched a gun before could become a sharpshooter in half an hour!
Not just them, I was dumbfounded too.
I really, really, really wanted to go back to the shooting range of my military training at 18, to see the target paper of the three shots where I got hit by the scope!
I now strongly suspect there was a ten on it! Even though I didn’t even see the target clearly through the scope at the time.
But who knows! I’m sure Nobita Nobi doesn’t need to see the target’s position to shoot!
Don’t all natural sharpshooters shoot by feel?
After that, I tried various different firearms, quickly mastering them all in a very short time, the speed of improvement in shooting accuracy terrifyingly fast.
“All kinds of martial arts! This is an AK47!”
In the end, I got more and more excited, but Jian Xingde’s look at me was starting to get strange.
He began to reassess my danger level! A person like me, with a little training and enough weapons, would be a super weapon in a city environment! Remember, he didn’t bring me to those ordinary shooting ranges open to the public.
Ordinary shooting ranges use training bullets with reduced propellant; the stuff here is real ammunition! In short, putting aside Jian Xingde’s complex inner world, I thought this gun practice was very successful.
And I felt that my shooting skills would soon reach the level of “gun feel experience” needed for making *Wanted*.
It’s just that on the way back, I endured Jian Xingde’s incessant chatter the whole way, making me speechless.
Luckily, when I saw Princess, it was like a switch was flipped, and he instantly shut his mouth, transforming back into that professional, cool, silent, serious guy.
Princess also greeted me kindly, and then introduced the girl beside her to me.
“Lin You, this is my good friend Yao Yuhua, just call her Shuihua. She kept pestering me to come yesterday when I called, sorry about that.”
“Hello, just call me Lin You, let’s go inside.”
After simply pouring them a glass of water, before we had chatted for a few sentences, the people from Game Base arrived.
So I first took Princess and Shuihua to the study. I had already placed two virtual reality devices here last night, including the one Princess used last time.
“This is the one you used last time, the save is still there. You can continue from where you left off, or you can play online with the one next to it, two people playing together. This is considered a backdoor for you guys, after the official release it’s random matching, no one knows who anyone is.”
“Thank you.” Princess thanked softly. “We can do it ourselves, you go ahead and get busy.”
There wasn’t really anything to receive them with, I didn’t plan to accept interviews, I really didn’t have time.
I only provided a spot to participate in the game test early. A simple agreement was signed, requiring no spoilers to be released before the official launch of the game, and then I taught them how to use the equipment, and let them play by themselves.
The female classmates who won the lottery in the group chat, Jian Xingde, and Xia Yi, wearing a skirt, revealing a metal prosthetic leg, all followed the same procedure.
I invited Yue Pengju to play again, but he remained unmoved, insisting on standing at the door, so I gave up.
Qin Songyun probably still had some interview mentality, afraid of disturbing my schedule, he was very cautious, not arriving too early, only arriving half an hour before the agreed time.
At this time, I had just settled the one-legged female streamer Xia Yi.
Opening the door, I saw Qin Songyun, who looked slightly more mature than in his resume, and his girlfriend standing beside him, Xiaochun, standing gracefully in a long dress.
She stood there with a smile, politely nodding to me, her demeanor calm and composed, showing no sign of her suffering from a terminal illness.
On the contrary, Qin Songyun, even though he tried to hide it, still had an unresolvable knot between his brows.
“Please sit.” I invited them into the house, to another study.
After a brief self-introduction, I said to them: “I can understand how you feel, let’s talk somewhere else.”
Then I took out the equipment, installed it, and guided Qin Songyun and Xiaochun to put on the head ring and start the equipment.
Seeing them successfully enter, I also started the head ring.
But I didn’t enter their world immediately.
I was now in Xiaomeng’s sky aircraft carrier.
At this moment, I was standing on the deck, with 5 images floating in front of me, showing the status of these players.
Princess and Shuihua were in the same world, they had already reached the second level—Broken Bridge.
In order to play with her friend, she gave up the wish to immediately see the later levels, and was now trying to bypass the Broken Bridge, using aerial resonance relay to fly directly onto the Broken Bridge.
“Quite creative.” I nodded.
Without a leader like Princess, the rest hadn’t reached the second level yet.
Some had started to push the progress forward, some were still in the prologue, curiously touching and looking around.
Every time Xia Yi walked a short distance, she would stop to touch her right leg, clench her fist, excitedly jump in place a few times, and then walk forward.
Then, before long, she would stop to touch her right leg again…
After confirming that they were fine, I entered Qin Songyun and Xiaochun’s world.
As soon as I entered, I saw Xiaochun and Qin Songyun kissing, and while kissing, they couldn’t help but cry uncontrollably.
“Sorry, I’ll leave you be!” I immediately fled the scene, giving the couple some space.
