Chapter 362: 277, Acting Skill (Requesting guaranteed monthly tickets)_3

He picked a anti-material sniper rifle, recalling his reaction the first time he used “Win People with Virtue” as he aimed at the 400-meter target and pulled the trigger.

“Ten rings!”

Just like that, Qing Chen seemed to not have adapted to the huge recoil at all, his whole body slightly shifted, and the muzzle of the sniper rifle deviated from the target.

All of this was the same as when he first fired a gun, even the muscle reactions were perfectly replicated.

Qing Yi silently looked at the sniper, who spoke in a low voice, “That indeed was the reaction when he first fired an anti-material sniper rifle; it’s something generally not easy to fake. Moreover, if you see how he loads, it’s very clumsy, which is also hard to disguise.”

Speaking of loading, Qing Chen was indeed not faking it.

…

He had never loaded an anti-material sniper rifle before!

Because “Win People with Virtue” doesn’t need loading at all, you can’t even find where to insert the bullets!

“But he scored ten rings,” Qing Yi said softly, looking at the figure of Qing Chen lying prone on the ground.

“He has an absolute feel for handguns and automatic rifles, hitting ten rings on a 400-meter target with a sniper rifle is normal,” the sniper spoke quietly, “What’s important is to look at 600 meters and 800 meters. At 600 meters, it’s no longer possible to clearly see the target with just a 16x optical scope, and at 800 meters, when the trajectory starts to show a slight parabolic curve, then we will see what score he can achieve.”

During their conversation, Qing Chen had already aimed at the 600-meter target and pulled the trigger.

The staff waved the flag: 6 rings!

Everyone present felt this was normal, and scoring six rings was already quite impressive.

Only Nan Gengchen was inwardly shouting, he’s starting to act, Brother Chen is starting to act!

Initially, he thought that the outright display of shooting skills earlier didn’t quite fit Qing Chen’s character.

But now he thought about it, displaying a mix of real and fake was more persuasive.

Only by experiencing Qing Chen’s brilliance first, would they believe the modesty shown later.

If it were based on his knowledge, seeing Qing Chen’s shooting skills at Xingshu Road that night, scoring ten rings at 1000 meters was expected.

If Qing Chen couldn’t achieve this, he definitely wouldn’t let a bullet pass between his legs; Qing Chen wouldn’t gamble with his personal safety!

That anti-material sniper rifle bullet is as long as a palm, and hitting the leg would mean losing the leg.

Qing Chen wouldn’t take such a huge risk.

Nan Gengchen discreetly looked around; he noticed that seemingly only he realized that Qing Chen was starting to act, even Xiao Tongyun didn’t know how ferocious Qing Chen’s shooting was.

“Six rings?” After learning his score, Qing Chen seemed slightly dissatisfied.

He pulled the trigger again, but this time he did even worse, scoring only two rings, nearly missing the target.

Upon firing again, ten rings.

When they saw the ten rings, everyone was momentarily stunned; someone thought, “Could the three-shot bullseye trick be happening again?”

Qing Chen fired again, scoring seven rings.

Qing Yi looked towards the sniper beside him, his eyes filled with a questioning look.

The sniper spoke softly, “Hitting the 10-ring is just luck. When aiming at the target and shooting, as long as you hit the target, you might accidentally hit the 10-ring. Hitting the 10-ring is what’s real. If each shot revolves around the bullseye but never actually hits it, that’s a problem. Boss, let’s look at 800 meters. That’s a hurdle. Those who can’t become snipers can’t get over this hurdle.”

Qing Yi thought about it and realized it was true.

At that moment, Li Changqing smiled at Qing Chen and said, “Don’t be discouraged. It’s already quite an achievement to hit the target at 600 meters the first time you handle a sniper rifle.”

“That’s true,” another sniper remarked. “The first time I handled a sniper rifle, I didn’t hit the target with a single shot. Let’s try the 800 meters target.”

Qing Chen thought about it and shook his head, “Forget it. It’s hard enough at 600 meters, I don’t want to embarrass myself.”

“It’s all about trying, Uncle Qing Chen,” Qing Yi encouraged. “It’s Li’s firing range anyway, and they don’t charge us for the bullets.”

“Then let’s give it a try,” Qing Chen said as he lay prone on the ground, turning the barrel towards the 800-meter target.

This time, he aimed straight at the target paper, and after he pulled the trigger, the bullet didn’t even hit the target!

Qing Chen slightly raised the barrel, trying to calculate the parabola’s arc to make the bullet hit the target, but it still missed!

The staff responsible for confirming the target, took a few steps farther away, fearing they might get hit by a stray bullet…

A sniper beside Qing Yi explained softly, “When he can’t hit the target, and doesn’t even know why his shots are off, he can’t adjust his trajectory. Simply trying to intuitively adjust the barrel is futile. By then, wind speed and gravity will pull the bullet off course, afraid his subsequent shots won’t hit the target either. When I first practiced at the 800 meters target, it also took me two whole days to master the shooting skills.”

No sooner had he finished, as if to prove the sniper’s point,

Qing Chen, stubbornly, fired another fifteen times. Only one shot hit the edge of the target paper; all the others missed.

Watching his defiant, dissatisfied expression, Nan Gengchen thought to himself that he should go for an Oscar if not.

He didn’t want to watch any movie without Brother Chen from now on!

Li Changqing gently squatted beside Qing Chen, patted his shoulder, and consoled, “That’s enough for now. Come back to practice when you’re free, you’ve already done very well.”

“Alright,” Qing Chen sighed as he stood up.

“Let’s go, I still have a place to take you today,” Li Changqing said with a smile seeing him give up, “Li Yinuo, Xiao Tong Yun, you both come along too. Today is the day Li’s School opens the Martial Arts School, we’re bringing a new fighting instructor. Qing Yi, are you coming?”

Qing Yi shook his head, smiling docilely, “Auntie, I hate school the most. It’s not often I get to come out; just let me have a day off. You all go, I still want to shoot some more.”

“Then be careful,” Li Changqing said before he left with Qing Chen.

Left at the range, Qing Yi watched as the vehicle drove away, and then calmly said to the servant beside him, “Go behind the target paper and check the bullet marks. I want to know where his bullets ended up.”

“Boss, you mean…” the sniper was a bit puzzled.

Qing Yi spoke calmly, “True experts like to hide their skills, but even those who love to conceal their skills can’t help showing off sometimes. For instance, masters of forgeries leave their signatures in the design, which are hard to find if one doesn’t look carefully. If he is a sniper, and still young at heart, even if he intentionally misses the target, he might inadvertently want to prove something, to show he’s not a true failure. Of course, this is just an unnecessary check, he might really just be handling a sniper rifle for the first time.”

When Qing Yi said this, he completely lost the immaturity of a youth, and appeared surprisingly mature.
