Chapter 250 - A Great Shot In The Eyes of Millions! A Stunning Six Hundred Seconds! (1/2)

“First place? Are you, East Asia recruits, dreaming? This glory — our Europe has already won the title in succession for three years. You were only third in the previous session.” With a prideful tone, three European recruits stood next Qin Fen’s dining table.

“Stackhouse.” Xing Wuyi used his middle finger to push the spectacles on the bridge of his nose, “I don’t see you for a few days and you become this arrogant.”

“Oh, Xing.” Among the three, the short and lean recruit smiled and said, “If it was the past, I really would not dare to say this. But Peng is dead, and now there will be no better gunmen in the world than me.”

“Nonono… Stackhouse, you are too conceited. We, the Americans will take the first place this year.”

Three more recruits appeared. The military uniforms they had on showed their place of origin, America! The real hegemon of the Recruit Tournament!

“Andy?” The lean Stackhouse’s thick eyebrows raised, “Your gunsmanship is indeed good, but it is still not good enough for first place.”

Andy possessed wide shoulders and a big face. He smiled faintly with a glimpse of a forthright expression, “Peng is dead, therefore everyone is qualified to compete to be the Gun King among the recruits now, including me.”

Xing Wuyi’s eyes had a glint of sorrow. If the all-rounder Du Zhanpeng was still alive, how could these people be arrogant?

Qin Fen patted Du Peng, who had clenched his fists. He got up slowly and looked at the recruits from Europe and the United States, “Since this first place would have belonged to Du Zhanpeng originally, I will help him get first place in this category. You guys can stop fighting.”

Both Stackhouse and Andy were in shock as they assessed Qin Fen. If it was said by Xing Wuyi, there would still be some weight to the words. After all, he was the buddy of the recruit Gun King, Du Zhanpeng. Such person who none had heard of before dared to speak like this? Oriental man, weren’t they always known for their subtleties? What happened today?

Andy looked down at Qin Fen’s long and smooth hands. In the web between his thumb and forefinger, as well as his index finger, there were no calluses from long periods of shooting. Andy’s pupil shrunk into the size of two needle tips instantly.

These hands! It’s too much like Du Zhanpeng’s hands!

For a first-rate gunman, due to the long hours of gun practice on their usual days, there would be calluses in the web between the thumb and forefinger as well as the index finger. It was the silent glory medal of gunmen.

However, for super-class gunmen, their hands were always smooth without the slightest callus.

Any callus would affect and reduce the gunner’s sense of the gun, and would prevent the gunman from reaching the perfect harmony between a man and gun as a whole.

Andy had a pair of smooth hands. Stackhouse also had a pair of smooth hands, but it was a little lacking compared to the smooth and slender hands of Du Zhanpeng.

“Fantastical orient.” Andy looked up at Qin Fen slowly, “I am looking forward to your performance.”

Stackhouse saw Qin Fen’s hands and the initial pride on his face subsided, “Oriental man, it seems that you are a good opponent. However, I must win! Today, Napoleon Aerial Combat Team suddenly abstained, causing many to think that our European soldiers are cowards. I will prove that the European soldiers are the best soldiers of the Federation!”

“The recruits of you three continents are too confident. Have you forgotten abotu Africa?”

“And us, West Asia…”

The spacious canteen were gathered with a lot of soldiers, but it still didn’t give off the feeling of overcrowdedness.

Qin Fen’s dining table location felt completely out of touch with the canteen’s spacious feeling.

Around the small table gathered new recruits from Earth’s various continents.

The relaxed dining atmosphere experienced a sudden turn of event. The aura of power between the gunmen recruits collided with each other. Recruits who had more sensitive martial senses felt the change of the canteen’s atmosphere at once, and they threw their gaze to the source.

Lin Ling put down the milk that had just been picked up and used her thumb and index finger to gently turn the cup. With a pair of cold eyes, she waited for the milk in the cup to ripple gently, “If you can figure out who is the best gunman is through plain words, what is the use of a competition? Whether you are the strongest or not, doesn’t just depend on the words from your mouth. Just find out your levels at the shooting range.”

The cold words wre like a basin filled with ice cold water as it repressed the fiery aura down again.

The recruits were silent for a few seconds. They turned to leave the table that belonged to the East Asian recruits.

Du Peng clenched his fists silently and his shoulders shivered slightly. The brother who used to be seen as an enemy turned out to not just have the luck of being noble-born. Not only did he have excellent martial arts skills, even his gunsmanship could suppress the recruits of other continents.

The scene of the mission of the day once again emanated from the mind.

Boom… boom…

The joints of his fists made a continuous cracking sounds.

Du Peng looked at the shaking table and whispered to himself, “If that day, I did not fight for it… if that day, I was not impatient…”

Remorse filled every cell in his brain.

Qin Fen returned to his seat and patted Du Peng’s fist.

The little episode between the meal time ended with just a few cold words from Lin Ling.

After breakfast, the recruits who were competing began to rush to the venue. The recruits who weren’t competing either went back to rest and recharge or simply chose a game to watch.

The Recruit Tournament represented the highest level of military skills among global recruits of various categories. Being able to watch could also be considered as an eye-opener.

Qin Fen arrived at the venue with shock. The shooting range he imagined turned out to be a huge building.

Around the building, there were also dozens of houses of varying sizes. Vacuum monitors were installed everywhere to detect every corner of the entire shooting range.

Outside the shooting range was a huge circular stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people!

Above the stadium, there was a multi-angled stereoscopic projection at the center that showed the inside and outside of the building, as well as the inside and outside of the cabin.

As recruits of the competition, they weren’t allowed to know the environment of the game in advance. This was also to test the military’s ability to adapt.

Qin Fen looked at the viewing platform that was almost full, and stood in a daze for a few seconds before turning his gaze onto Xing Wuyi’s face that had doubt written all over it.

“Although the Recruit Tournament isn’t something the whole Federation focused on, it still has some influence.” Xing Wuyi pushed the gold-rimmed spectacles on the bridge of his nose, “Military enthusiasts everywhere show great interest in this. In order to generate income, the army…”

“Understood.”

Qin Fen smiled and walked to the player’s seat, secretly admiring the military dignitaries who came up with the idea of generating income. They indeed had an economic brain.

“Qin Fen…” Du Peng called out and said to Qin Fen, who turned around, “You must win first place!”

Qin Fen raised his arm up high and gave a thumbs up, “Ready the warm hug upon my victory.”

“Okay!” Du Peng’s promised.

Due to special reasons, for today’s pistol shooting championship, Du Peng had a more intense desire to win than Qin Fen.
