Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 15: Hitting the Bullseye
After searching for a while in the shooting range, Li Jiu and Scar Brother finally found two empty targets next to each other.
Wilkie supported Daisy at the foot of Scar Brother, and from time to time he secretly glanced at Li Jiu, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. The two of them had been with Scar Brother for quite a long time, and they were very familiar with his methods. Maybe Scar Brother's shooting skills could not be called a sharpshooter, but at least in the Night Rose Mercenary Group, he was also among the top ranks. Therefore, in their opinion, Li Jiu, a rookie, dared to compete with Scar Brother in shooting skills, which was simply seeking his own death!
Although Scar Brother was not very sturdy, he was full of lean muscles. He held the heavy golden M60 machine gun in his right hand very easily. He turned his head and grinned at Li Jiu and said, "Hey, brother Li Jiu, you are a new recruit, so let you fire the first shot."
Li Jiu frowned and couldn't help but complain in his heart, Scar is really a veteran. He seemed to be being modest, but in fact he was playing tricks on him!
Although Li Jiu was just a new soldier, he knew that when two people were competing with each other, the result of the first shot was very critical and might directly affect the final result. Because if the first shot was good, it would not only boost his confidence, but also hit the opponent's momentum.
On the contrary, if the first shot is weak, you will inevitably become nervous, which will directly affect your subsequent state, and at the same time indirectly boost the opponent's morale from another aspect.
As the saying goes, even a good horse can stumble. Even a sharpshooter cannot guarantee that he will always hit the target.
Therefore, the first person who shoots must take certain risks, and Scar obviously wants Li Jiu to take this risk.
Although this was obviously a trap, Li Jiu thought about it carefully for a moment and decided to fire the first shot himself.
The reason was simple. Although Li Jiu had no confidence in his half-baked gun skills, he was very confident in Scar's gun skills. Because Scar could become the leader of the soldiers, his gun skills must be excellent. Although he didn't know how good he was, he must be better than himself.
If he were to fire the first shot, there would be a high chance that I would be the one hit, so it would be better for me to just be single and accept it directly.
"Okay, let me fire the first shot." Li Jiu picked up the M16 assault rifle, held his head high and said with a cold face, looking very imposing.
As the saying goes, it is better to lose the battle than the person. No matter how good your shooting skills are, you must not lose your momentum before the game starts.
Scar brother nodded, with a smile of success on his face.
It was already noon, and the sun in the sky was as hot as an unmarried girl, making the man feel hot all over, but he dared not look directly at it.
Li Jiu put the butt of the gun against his shoulder, tilted his head, closed his left eye, and aimed at the target a hundred meters away that seemed to be only the size of a lollipop through the sights on the gun body.
Although Li Jiu has already implanted the "God of War System", if the "combat system" is turned on, his vision will instantly improve a lot, which will help improve his shooting performance. But unfortunately, before the training began, Kaqi had already said that it was not allowed to use the "combat system" to assist during target practice, because it would not be good for improving the shooting skills.
That is to say, Li Jiu cannot open the "combat system" without authorization at the shooting range today. Once he uses the "combat system", the mercenary group will be able to find out through the background data, and then they will deduct money. Of course, this also applies to Scar Brother.
"Inhale...exhale..." Li Jiu's expression was serious. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
The breeze gently blew across the hair, but Li Jiu's neat shaved head remained motionless...
"Bang!" An explosion was heard, and an almost invisible tongue of fire spurted out from the muzzle of the gun.
The bullet flew out of the muzzle and spun towards the target in the distance.
With a "puff" sound, after a short flight, the bullet penetrated the wooden target unhindered .
Almost at the moment the gunshot rang out, Li Jiu, Scar Brother and the other two all widened their eyes with nervousness and subconsciously looked at the target in the distance, wanting to see the result of the shooting at the first moment.
However, the hole in the target a hundred meters away was definitely not much larger than the diameter of an embroidery needle. And the four people including Li Jiu were just ordinary people. Although they had good eyesight, they could not see clearly.
"Bring the telescope!" Scar Brother stretched out his hand to Wilkie and the other man behind him, and shouted without turning his head.
Wilkie's reaction was a little slow. After a moment's pause, he ran over and took a telescope from his neck. He brought this thing over when he was holding Scar's weapon.
Scarface quickly snatched the telescope from Wilkie's hand, placed it in front of his eyes and stared at the target in the distance, while the other three people focused their eyes on Scarface.
When Li Jiu came to practice shooting today, he actually brought a telescope with him, but it was with Kaqi, and Kaqi did not leave it to him when she left.
Therefore, for the time being, only Scar Brother, who was holding the telescope, could see the results of the shooting.
After Scar Brother looked through the telescope for a while, Li Jiu suddenly saw the corner of his mouth twitching. His heart also jumped. He didn't know why Scar Brother was twitching. What was the result of this shooting...
"Alas, it is true that heroes emerge young!" Scar put down the telescope, looked at Li Jiu in disbelief, and sighed, "Brother Li Jiu is indeed not an ordinary person. I, Scar, have been in the army for so many years, but I have never seen a talent like you, who is not only good at fighting, but also so sharp with a gun."
After hearing what Scar said, Wilkie and Daisy Yamashita looked at each other in bewilderment.
Li Jiu also frowned and couldn't help thinking that what Scar said was a bit off.
He was still a little unsure about his shooting skills. Although after a morning of practice, he could hit the target with five or six out of ten bullets, but how many rings he could get out of those bullets was completely up to fate.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of shooting skill doesn't seem to be sharp, right?
"Huh? Could it be that..." Li Jiu's eyes jumped, and he suddenly thought of a possibility. He said uncertainly, "Damn, this shot didn't hit the bull's eye, did it?"
"Yeah, that's right, brother Li Jiu has great marksmanship, this shot hit the bull's eye!" Scar brother nodded, gave Li Jiu a thumbs up, and said with admiration. At the same time, he felt a lot of pressure in his heart. If he had known this would happen, he would not have let this kid fire the first shot...
To be honest, after seeing the shooting results, Scar Brother regretted competing with Li Jiu today. Hitting a ten-ring with the first shot, how could a rookie have this level? Even some veterans could hardly do this! If he could hit four more bullets, even if every shot hit the bull's eye today, he would definitely lose!
However, at the same time, Scar Brother secretly congratulated himself for having foresight and intentionally befriended the other party before the gambling game began. If the boy in front of him really had such a sharp shooting skill, then even if he lost the gambling game this time, it would be worth it!
"Impossible! How could this happen? Even I'm not sure I can hit the bull's eye with the first shot..." Wilkie lost his voice in shock when he heard the result of the shooting, and looked at Li Jiu as if he were a monster.
As for the little devil, Yamashita Hinagiku, he was shocked, but also felt a chill in his heart. When he thought that he had offended such a monster, his anus tightened. Therefore, he did not dare to say anything, for fear of further deepening the conflict between the two sides, and then his back door would be...
"How is it impossible?! Brother Li Jiu is a genius, how can a fool like you compare to him? Just stay aside!" Scar brother frowned and scolded the younger brother who didn't know the rules without any politeness. How could a younger brother interrupt when the bosses were talking?
After confirming that he had hit the ten rings, Li Jiu was stunned for a moment at first, a little bit unbelieving, but soon he touched the tip of his nose, coughed dryly, and acted as if he had expected it...
Although he knew that his shot was purely a matter of luck, he couldn't tell the other party, "Brother Scar, I shot by chance..."
"Haha, brother Li Jiu's shooting skills are indeed sharp, but I think I have been a soldier for so many years and have also mastered a pretty good shooting skill. I know there is a high possibility that I will lose this bet, but I still can't help but show off my ugliness. I hope you don't mind." Scar brother has been a soldier for so many years, and his psychological quality is not exaggerated. After a brief shock at the beginning, he quickly calmed down and smiled indifferently at Li Jiu.
Li Jiu nodded indifferently, but thought in his heart, I would be surprised if I didn't mind! If you take the initiative to admit defeat, I wouldn't mind...
The next moment, Scar Brother's actions made Li Jiu's eyes almost pop out.
Scar turned around, held the gun, pointed the gun at the target a hundred meters away, and pulled the trigger without even aiming!
"Bang!" A sound like hitting an iron barrel was heard, and the golden M60 spit out a tongue of fire and fired a burst of shots.
Yes, that’s right, it’s burst shooting, burst shooting from a machine gun!
In the eyes of ordinary people, after pulling the trigger of a machine gun, a string of bullets will be fired. But in fact, when a master uses a machine gun, he can skillfully control the force of pulling the trigger and fire in bursts. And Scar Brother is obviously such a master.
"Brother Li Jiu, I won't watch it anymore. You come and watch it." Scar Brother fired a shot, and with a smile on his face, he handed the telescope to Li Jiu. He seemed very confident in his shot, and the expression on his face was even more arrogant than Li Jiu.
Li Jiu took the telescope and squinted to glance at Scar Brother. He didn't know whether this guy was really skilled and brave, very confident in his casual shot, or just pretending to gain momentum.
However, when Li Jiu put the telescope to his eyes and saw Scar's shooting results, his whole body trembled almost imperceptibly, and his heart was filled with shock!
It's no wonder that there are many hidden talents in the Night Rose Mercenary Group. Scar Brother's casual machine gun burst also hit the bull's eye and made a ten-ring shot!
