In just a few minutes, Jingyi Entertainnt team had rapidly built up the advantages it had on hand as nobody dared to go up against the double sniper combination. However, these minutes also gave Wu Jin a precious opportunity to hide.
The sound of the automated instance chanism exploded in his ear. Wu Jin tried his best to roll and finally pulled away from Jingyi Entertainnt’s line of sight.
A trainee on the other side was shot down by Jingyi Entertainnt, his life-saving capsule popping up. Ming Yao unceremoniously picked up his supplies for himself, and a second life-saving capsule soon popped up––this ti, their opponent dropped a card.
Wu Jin calculated in his mind and was frightened by his conclusions. Jingyi’s double c had gotten together too early, forming an overwhelming advantage at the beginning of the round and snowballing as they accumulated resources. In this Temperance card instance, once they changed it to the card they had in their hands––
The consequences would be unthinkable.
On his side, the instance attacked Wu Jin again.
Wu Jin was in a difficult situation, and his heart was filled with regret. Why had he chosen ‘material’?! Another way of thinking about it barely gave him a bit of comfort: Choosing ‘spirit’ would an getting sniped at by the two Jingyi snipers, but choosing ‘material’ just ant he was shot at three tis––he was only getting shot by one extra instance gun, there wasn’t much of a difference!
Wu Jin heaved a sigh at the bottom of his heart, but his gaze was sweeping over the scattered cups in the field.
The glittering gold and silver chalices seed to be connected by invisible dotted lines that started from the bunker where Wu Jin was hiding and passed through the area controlled by Jingyi Entertainnt’s firepower.
Countless scenarios filtered through his mind. Hypothesis, rejection, hypothesis, another rejection––
There were 48 chalices in the instance. In the N15 direction from the bunker, he would only be able to steal 4 from under Jingyi Entertainnt’s noses.
1 gold, 3 silver.
After two players were eliminated, there were still 10 ‘material’ people and 7 ‘spirit’ people.
In order to maximize the benefits of the four chalices, he would have to use them right at the cutting edge––the mont the situation changed.
Wu Jin slowly closed his eyes. By the ti they opened again, they flashed with a cold light.
The youth took a deep breath.
The red dot from the instance weaponry once again aid at Wu Jin, who was creeping forward on the ground. The gunfire from Jingyi Entertainnt that was clearing the area was also approaching the bunker Wu Jin was hiding behind.
From behind a thick patch of grass, a youth dressed in army green bulletproof armor leaped out like a thunderbolt!
The basic rifle was slung over his shoulder, and Wu Jin held the submachine gun in both hands. His left hand was fixed firmly on the butt of the gun, and a slightly bloody bandage could be seen in the gap of his broken armor. His eyes were cool from concentration, and when he raised his chin, his gaze clashed directly with that of Zuo Botang’s.
The gun fired at full speed!
Wu Jin’s movents were extrely stable, and he didn’t require himself to shoot accurately. His injured right arm only needed to pull the trigger, and he used his left hand to hold the butt of the gun steady.
Compared with the double snipers, his biggest advantage lay in the speed and continuity of his gunfire. The submachine gun that he traded for with the Ace of Swords was equipped with 60 bullets, with a maximum firing speed of up to 100 rounds per minute. For the next three seconds, Wu Jin wasn’t stingy with bullets at all, forcing the Jingyi double c-positions to head for shelter.
From a hundred ters away, Zuo Botang’s eyelids twitched as he temporarily chose to yield. Wu Jin’s casual use of bullets had been outside of both of their expectations&#k2013;&#k2013;
In the next instant, Wu Jin suddenly turned his gun away.
To the right, a trainee who was avoiding a shot by the instance weaponry was suddenly shot at by Wu Jin.
That trainee froze and had no ti to fight back. He ran to the right in a panic and hid, but another bullet passed by him from the left, causing him to change directions again.
Behind him, Wu Jin’s eyebrows were drawn together, sweat slipping down his cheek. His pupils were quivering from the constant ntal calculation, and he pushed down on the trigger again after calculating the other party’s position.
On the other side of the field, Zuo Botang and Ming Yao’s line of sight shook abruptly. “He––”
Nobody inside the arena knew that at this ti, the Crosson Show director’s studio was also full of cries of exclamations. Blood Pigeon quickly focused the cara on Wu Jin, zooming in close enough to see the control he had over his limbs, then turned to explain his line of sight and trajectory.
“A very powerful learning ability, or in other words, a very good ability to imitate. He understands with just one demonstration.” Blood Pigeon sighed emotionally from off-screen.
Wu Jin’s shooting technique was very similar to that of Jingyi Entertainnt’s just now.
The goal of the bullet wasn’t to hit the target, but rather to push the target in the direction he needed.
The accuracy of the submachine gun was slightly lower than a sniper rifle’s, and Wu Jin’s shooting skills were definitely not better than those of a professional sniper’s , but it was sufficient for the limited space inside the instance.
The F-level trainee who’d been escorted by Wu Jin was one of the unlucky ones who’d chosen the ‘material’ camp. In the gap within his hurried escape, he managed to make the ti to raise his hand, and his face suddenly brightened––in front of him was a silver chalice filled with water.
The F-class trainee didn’t hesitate to pick up the cup and drink it down. His wrist watch changed from gold to silver, and he joined the current safe camp.
At the top of the instance, the angel who stood there pouring water started to move slowly.
There were now 9 people in the ‘material’ camp and 8 in the ‘spirit’ camp.
Wu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hid behind a bunker in order to avoid Jingyi Entertainnt’s attacks. His eyes were locked precisely in the N15 direction despite the dim lighting.
The second silver cup that he needed was there, the most crucial one.
The submachine gun opened fire again, and Wu Jin used the spray of bullets to rush out again, heading to the cup as fast as he could––
However, another man suddenly charged out.
It was a D-level trainee from a small company who was only slightly familiar. His neck was tattooed with the words ‘must win’. He had dark skin, and his wrist watch was gold.
This ‘must win’ contestant obviously hadn’t realized that there was another person behind him. His eyes were ecstatic, and he was just about to drink when he was taken by surprise by the gun on his forehead.
Contestant ‘must win’ stiffened, “...If, if you have sothing to say, just say it... I’ll, I’ll give you the cup?”
The voice behind him was a little hoarse, yet still carried a bit of a youthful clarity, “You, drink.”
The trainee trembled, “I, I, I...”
Wu Jin was expressionless as he urged coldly, “Hurry up.”
The instance’s impartial attacks suddenly assaulted the two people. Wu Jin leaned back to avoid it, simultaneously kicking away the man who’d been targeted by the red dot of the gun. He then pressed lightly on the trigger with his fingertips, causing the tal parts to clink as they collided. The trainee was given a scare and shouted, “Brother, don’t shoot! I’ll drink!”
The chalice was lifted, the water gurgling as it was drunk down. The trainee’s golden watch changed color.
At the top of the instance, the angel holding the cups had finally changed positions. She raised her right arm slowly, and her left arm dropped down. The original movent of pouring water out of the ‘material’ chalice reversed, and water was now pouring out of the chalice that represented ‘spirit’.
The ‘material’ camp had 8 people, and the ‘spirit’ camp now had 9. For the first ti, the number of people in the ‘spirit’ camp had exceeded that of the opposing camp––
Based on the Temperance card’s laws, the target of the instance’s attacks changed!
The trainee who had just finished drinking down the water in the silver chalice didn’t have ti to relax before a red light flashed on his head. The gun that represented the instance rules that had only just shifted away from him turned back once again.
“......” He really wished he could spit out the water he’d just drunk down before and escape from the red dot.
On the opposite side of the instance, the two snipers who’d just been about to shoot at Wu Jin were targeted at the sa ti. They gave up their shots and went to snatch up another set of chalices instead.
––The ‘spirit’ camp that Jingyi had originally chosen was no longer safe.
Wu Jin’s eyes lit up. This was his chance!
In the footage, the youth rushed along his pre-planned route and picked up the three chalices that had been hidden behind shelter.
Crosson Show director’s studio.
Ying Xiangxiang sighed in appreciation and also took the opportunity to pick out a comnt from the scrolling comnts:
“Little Witch is so clever ahhhh!! The kindergarten and primary school learning bully they talk about, it’s you, it’s you!!! Little Witch, shoot! Fight back, fight back ahhhh!!”
Blood Pigeon laughed lightly, “I agree with not fighting back. Contestant Wu’s marksmanship has obviously improved, but it still needs to be honed. He won’t co out on top against Jingyi’s configuration.”
Ying Xiangxiang was smiling broadly as she added, “Well, it’s also really amusing to watch little children snatch cups.”
Half a minute later, Wu Jin returned to his bunker with three chalices firmly in his arms. He also pulled out his submachine gun and obtained a hostage.
At this ti, the pair from Jingyi finally reacted and learned from Wu Jin, snatching the chalices without a second thought. Any that they couldn’t snatch were simply shot through with a bullet, causing the water contained inside the chalices to splash everywhere––all the chalices that remained in the field were attacked.
Wu Jin finally took a look and then determinedly settled himself in behind the bunker.
He had 34 bullets left in the submachine gun. As long as he didn’t show his head, it would be enough to defend against two snipers.
In the next five minutes, life-saving capsules continued to pop up. In order to reduce the number of people in the ‘spirit’ camp, Ming Yao shot down a trainee with a silver watch.
At this ti, there were 8 people in the ‘material’ camp, and 8 in the ‘spirit’ camp.
The angel sculpture that loved to pour water didn’t change her actions––the condition that would trigger the change in target was obviously that one side had to have at least one more person than the other.
Nine minutes.
Zuo Botang eliminated another person from the sa camp, and after Jingyi Entertainnt went into a frenzy and killed off people from their own camp, the rules flipped again.
There were now 8 ‘material’ people and 7 ‘spirit’ people. Jingyi Entertainnt was now in the safe camp.
Wu Jin saw this situation and quickly drank down the water from a silver chalice, changing himself into the ‘spirit’ camp. His wrist watch changed from gold to silver––the instance targets reversed again.
7 ‘material’ people, 8 ‘spirit’ people. The rules caused Wu Jin and Jingyi Entertainnt to be attacked at the sa ti!
Jingyi Entertainnt, who hadn’t yet recovered their breath, was caught by surprise. At this ti, it wouldn’t be wrong at all to say that they were fiercely angry––if it hadn’t been for the current situation, they would really want to charge over imdiately and switch from snipers to assault positions just so that they could pull out Wu Jin, who was still hiding behind his bunker.
The indifferent attacks by the instance had little effect on the contestants who were hiding behind shelters. With the red dot as an indicator, anyone who was able to remain until now in the Crosson Show would be able to avoid the attacks without getting injured––however, this was almost a disaster for snipers.
Scanning, calibration, and pre-aiming all took ti. At this point in ti, there was automated weaponry from the instance sweeping around from overhead, and red dots would suddenly appear on their body. This was basically constant harassnt to snipers.
Sixteen minutes.
Jingyi Entertainnt changed their strategy. Ming Yao resolutely drank from a golden chalice and switched to the ‘material’ camp.
There were now 8 ‘material’ people and 7 ‘spirit’. Ming Yao was attacked by the rules of the instance, while Zuo Botang and Wu Jin were now in the safe camp due to the decrease in the number of ‘spirit’ people.
Zuo Botang nodded gratefully to Ming Yao, cald down, and quickly began to start shooting.
In the Crosson Show director’s studio, the cara was once again focused on the Temperance card instance due to strong audience demand. The scrolling comnts were instantly excited when they saw Zuo Botang’s actions, “... Is, is he going to single snipe?!”
Blood Pigeon nodded, “Jingyi Entertainnt is famous for its dual sniper configuration, but I want to remind you all that even if they’re separated, each sniper is an elite trainee. This is especially the case for Contestant Zuo. Ming Yao changed camps for the sake of creating an opportunity for his teammate––a very accurate team decision.”
The screen zood in on Zuo Botang, who was currently safe in the instance.
This trainee had a broad forehead, full lips, and straight and broad facial features. He was the mainstay of the new generation in the recently declining Jingyi Entertainnt, and also served as a reserve substitute for their battle team. He attracted fans due to his mild personality, and his position in the rankings had continuously gone up over the past three rounds of voting.
His movents were light and unhurried, but extrely precise. The SSG sniper rifle in his hands was aid in Wu Jin’s direction, and he even greeted the cara before taking aim.
Almost everyone in the audience held their breath.
Blood Pigeon spoke up to ease the atmosphere, “Zuo Botang’s sniper selection score was 91 points, while Ming Yao’s was 80 points. I think that this is why they chose to have Zuo Botang shoot instead of Ming Yao. Now, we can see that he’s already finished checking his scope, and now––”
Jingyi Entertainnt’s double c-position, Zuo Botang, finally reached towards the trigger.
Juurensha: So smart Little Witch!
