Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 123: 122 Side Quest - Advanced Shooting

"I heard from Helen that your physical fitness has already exceeded 14 points, right?" Carlos asked hurriedly as he led the way.

"Hmm."

"Then you should go get a machine gun first."

Bai E had always used the beginner's Type 77 rifle; higher-grade machine guns are more powerful but also require more physical control. The minimum requirent to use the machine gun's burst mode is also a 14-point physical attribute.

Having only trained for three days, Bai E had not undergone a detailed physical examination. Even if he had, with a physical attribute of only 13.7 points at the ti, he was still a bit short of the minimum requirent of 14 points. It's always better to stick with what's familiar, so he did not change his equipnt when he went to the Bug Race battlefield.

Now that he knew, the first thing he certainly had to do was to change his equipnt.

He could also switch to a more powerful Desert Eagle for his handgun.

The Blade machine gun that he had only personally fired during the new soldier talent test was finally in his hand, and the sensation of holding sothing much heavier than a rifle was reassuring.

"You go get familiar with the new equipnt first, and then I'll take you to participate in the selection," Carlos said, clearly very concerned about Bai E, the synth.

"Alright."

"Pupu pupu."

The sound of the machine gun burst was more brisk and muffled, effortlessly leaving... a bullet hole on the distant 200 ter target.

Carlos gazed closely and saw that there was only one hole at the bullseye that allowed the light from behind the target to pass through.

Not bad in terms of precision.

"That's it, go try, go try!" Carlos was visibly more enthusiastic about sending Bai E on a covert military operation.

As Bai E approached the specialized test range, he could hear the roar of machine guns from a distance.

The mont he stepped through the gate, the muscles of countless burly n imdiately stood out before him.

The number wasn't particularly high, probably less than a hundred, but...

All burly n!

Almost every figure that was carrying and firing a machine gun in the crowd lining up next to it was built; they all had the sa uniform machine guns in their hands.

Those who weren't qualified to use the Blade machine gun in burst mode didn't even have the eligibility to participate in the selection.

Bai E deliberately summoned the "lucky hit" rate panel that belonged to him—

They were all at least third-level or even fourth or fifth-level Light Firearms Specialization, and almost all of them had the "Firepower Suppression" skill, just like Song Ying.

Clearly, as a mber of a special forces team, Song Ying was not unique in this military camp; he was just the common face among countless machine gunners. Maybe in terms of all-around abilities, he had sothing special, but in shooting... everyone's abilities were almost the sa.

Especially one muscular man dual-wielding machine guns appeared to be exceptionally showy.

The pressure was quite big.

Bai E felt his palms begin to sweat, and since it was not a critical mont, he did not suppress his body's natural emotions.

"Go on, it's okay. Although they are veterans, your abilities are not inferior to theirs," Carlos reassured Bai E, patting him on the back: "It's just a display of ability. The final selection still depends on the comprehensive score, and shooting ability is just a part of it."

"Alright~"

Bai E, carrying the machine gun, went to the end of the queuing line and waited quietly.

The capability test on the field was nothing more than burst firing at moving targets, except it was more continuous than the shooting training before, and not limited to the air, targets could appear from all directions.

It also did not require hitting all targets without wasting any bullets; as long as each target was hit the required number of tis within its appearance ti limit, it was considered a completion.

What Carlos said sounded easy, but to actually perform it, judging the order of the targets' appearance in rapid succession and determining instantly the different hit counts required for each target, as well as their paths of motion... it was still quite difficult.

To maintain continuous shooting while also retaining the ability to make reasoned decisions and a certain degree of precision, that's probably the capability this selection wanted to assess.

The only strange thing was... the duration of the test seed quite long?

Bai E pondered quietly, feeling a bit puzzled.

"It's your turn," the officer in charge of maintaining Order reminded softly from not far away.

[Triggered side quest—Advanced Shooting.]

[Advanced Shooting: The most challenging shooting test of the training camp is right before your eyes. To qualify for covert military operations, you must perfectly complete this test. Task requirents: a failure rate below 10%, an ineffective shooting rate below 30%. Reward for completion: Light Firearm Specialty Special Attribute Awakening Card *1. Countdown: 10 minutes.]

Bai E was slightly startled, then nodded and responded with a smile, "Hmm."

"Hu~" Standing in front of the target position, Bai E took a deep breath, turned off the safety, and set the firing mode to burst fire.

"Ready!" The officer beside him shouted loudly, "Begin!"

The mont the order was given, the moving targets that appeared in front of him traced erratic paths, one in the air and ten on the ground.

20S, 30Hit

18S, 20Hit

5S, 9Hit

30S, 50Hit

8S, 3Hit*7

The number of hits required and the ti limit for each of the moving targets, crafted from an unknown tal of various sizes and marked with paint, lood before him. The changing movent patterns of the eleven targets were also instantly outlined in a pitch-black sea of thoughts.

The rate of fire for the War Blade machine gun was 8 rounds/s, using the longest firing duration of 30 seconds as a baseline, the number of hits that could be made was 240, while the total number of required hits for all the moving targets combined was only 130.

The provided shooting ti seed to be quite ample, the only factor that could possibly affect efficiency was the ti needed to reload mid-way, considering the War Blade machine gun's total magazine capacity was only 100 rounds, requiring a magazine change after no more than 13 seconds of continuous fire.

Fortunately, magazines loaded with bullets had already been prepared by the military. The speed of changing magazines determined one's results significantly. Those veterans were exceptionally smooth in this respect, and that was Bai E's observation from watching on the sidelines.

He might be slightly at a disadvantage here...

"DadaDada!"

In less than a breath's ti, nurous thoughts flashed through Bai E's mind, then the machine gun roared into action.

[Side quest—Advanced Shooting, current failure rate 0%, ineffective shooting rate 1%...]

...

[Side quest—Advanced Shooting, current failure rate 0%, ineffective shooting rate 1%...]

After opening fire, notifications on the panel flickered like a flowing stream, updating in real-ti. Bai E, who had spent days getting used to controlling the intensity of the notifications with his mind, wasn't disturbed by this.

"DadaDada!"

At a certain mont when the gunfire fell silent, Bai E's left hand, which steadied the gun, instantly flicked away the magazine.

"Click!"

The chanism engaged as bullets were chambered again.

"DadaDada!"

The ejected brass casings soon piled up into a shallow carpet of golden yellow at Bai E's feet.

[No wonder they don't make Advanced Shooting a routine training exercise for the soldiers, it's too wasteful of bullets...]

The task was easy, and Bai E still had the energy to think about various things...

"Kakakaka~"

There were three targets left in the first round, and several more targets subsequently appeared from all around.

Continuous judgnt and execution of shooting, that's the key point of assessnt in this advanced shooting test.

Bai E's gaze intensified, he quickly focused his concentration.

Watching from the sidelines didn't provide much of an actual feeling, only by starting the test could he truly feel that pressing tension when one target after another erged, giving no chance to catch a breath.

The ti limit marked on each target was like a countdown from the grim reaper, not allowing any mistakes.
