Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 18 Metamorphosis

"Today we're organizing shooting practice, and I'd like to clarify two things about Chang Ning in front of everyone."

After ordering everyone to line up again, Lao Pao explained that Chang Ning hitting the squad leader was a misunderstanding; it was part of his plan to bring Chang Ning into the reconnaissance company.

Another thing is that Chang Ning's initial target shooting score was not ten rings but one hundred rings, because all ten bullets hit the same spot, so it was reported as ten rings.

The reason the veteran clarified these things in front of everyone was to tell everyone that Chang Ning is not a lawless person, and that he is not only physically excellent, but also possibly a top-notch shooter.

Why do I say it's possible? The veteran only witnessed it once, and he was afraid that Chang Ning's "ten stars in a row" performance last time was just a fluke, so he didn't speak too confidently, lest he harm Chang Ning.

"With Chang Ning's abilities, I think everyone would agree that a powerful new talent has joined our class."

In private, Lao Pao isn't as serious as he seems on the surface; he also jokes around with everyone.

"no!"

"If Chang Ning is really as the squad leader said, then Chang Ning is indeed a ruthless person."

Chang Ning was a little embarrassed by everyone's praise in the queue, and her ears turned red.

The friendly smiles of his comrades helped Chang Ning integrate into the group quickly.

Everyone was young and there was no deep-seated hatred between them. In addition, the camaraderie in the military camp was very pure. Chang Ning has now begun to integrate into the group of Class One.

"Everyone knows that our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company always relies on strength, and our class is no exception. If I were to say here how amazing Chang Ning's marksmanship is, you probably wouldn't believe me."

"How about letting him perform? What do you all think?" the old man asked loudly. He not only wanted to help Chang Ning integrate into Class One, but also to help him establish his authority here.

"it is good!"

Chang Ning's comrades began to look at him expectantly and applaud, eager for him to show his skills.

"Come on, the venue's all set up for you, don't dawdle." Old Pao waved to Chang Ning, urging him to hurry up.

Today is the day to see if Chang Ning's marksmanship is as amazing as we've guessed. Even the veterans are looking forward to Chang Ning's performance.

Seeing this, Chang Ning didn't waste any words. He ran from the ranks to the old man, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Relax and just play your normal game."

Chang Ning couldn't respond to the old man's words; he was afraid that if he showed his true abilities, his comrades would be in an uproar.

Within the effective range of the Type 95 assault rifle, he could hit exactly where he pointed. To do something so abnormal in front of the whole class was really discouraging to everyone else.

"Squad leader, I'd like to shoot the 400-meter target."

The effective range of the Type 95 assault rifle is 400 meters. It's not that Chang Ning didn't want to shoot at long distances, but he didn't want to make a big splash.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. Do you need any assistive devices?" the old man asked kindly.

The Type 95 can be equipped with auxiliary equipment, such as an optical sight.

The auxiliary equipment the veteran was talking about is this; after all, with a 400-meter target, it's impossible to see clearly with the naked eye if you want to hit the bullseye.

"Need not."

I don't intend to be too sensational, but that doesn't mean I won't shock my comrades. Using an optical sight would greatly reduce its effectiveness.

"you sure?"

"determine."

Seeing Chang Ning's resolute attitude, Lao Pao stopped trying to persuade her. As long as Chang Ning could hold on, that was fine. Anyway, even if things went wrong, there was no harm in it. Being half a step ahead was genius, being a full step ahead was madness, and nobody wanted to get close to a madman.

Taking the bullets from the squad leader, Chang Ning skillfully loaded them into the magazine, chambered a round, and disengaged the safety. He then held his breath and focused on adjusting his stance. This time, he was using a standing firing position, which required considerable stability. However, this didn't affect Chang Ning much. Ever since he maxed out his rifle shooting experience, his muscles would instantly engage whenever he picked up a rifle, as if he were a seasoned rifleman with decades of experience.

Chang Ning's understanding is that the system directly adjusted his muscle memory for rifles, allowing him to find the most comfortable firing posture instantly when using a rifle.

"The firing range is ready; you can fire now."

The veteran soldier briefly communicated with his comrades at the firing range via walkie-talkie before telling Chang Ning that they could begin.

Although he knew Chang Ning couldn't possibly have accidentally injured his comrade, he was always right to be cautious, as some things, once they happened, were hard to undo.

"400-meter target shooting training is now beginning!"

At the old gunner's command, gunfire erupted across the firing range. Chang Ning didn't even use bursts; the gunfire was continuous.

"Chang Ning's recoil control is so steady, you can barely see any shake of the gun tip!"

Seeing Chang Ning's performance, Old Cui knew he was a monster. Losing to a monster wasn't shameful, and with that thought, he felt less uncomfortable.

While laymen might watch the spectacle, these reconnaissance soldiers, who fired shots every day, were certainly experts. Through Chang Ning's firing patterns, they actually discerned some clues.

The fact that the gun is held steady indicates that the person has strong core strength and can control the constantly rising gun tip.

Looking at Chang Ning's stance when firing the gun, the overall impression can be summed up in two words: "harmonious"! There wasn't a single unnecessary movement in his entire body.

The fact that his body didn't tremble when he fired the gun shows that Chang Ning was able to neutralize the impact of the gun, demonstrating that his physical fitness is top-notch. No one in the entire Night Tigers can do what Chang Ning has done.

Chang Ning's endurance and shooting skills are currently at the top of the entire company; now all that's left is his hand-to-hand combat ability.

However, considering that Chang Ning is only 19 years old and his body is still developing and has not yet reached his peak, his fighting ability is definitely not very high.

From this perspective, Chang Ning still has shortcomings; he is not an all-rounder who excels in everything. Even so, it can be said that Chang Ning has virtually no rivals in the regular troops of the Southeast Military Region.

There might be some weirdos in special forces, but that can't be included.

Chang Ning stopped firing after emptying the magazine. He could roughly guess his own skill level. His touch wasn't great today; the bullets weren't hitting as consistently as usual.

"Target reporter, bring me the target paper."

In fact, after witnessing Chang Ning's shooting prowess, his comrades in the first squad had already acknowledged his shooting skills.

Although the shooting posture was indeed a bit hasty, we can infer from the details that Chang Ning's performance this time will definitely not be disappointing.

This was a consensus among all the comrades in the class; they had extensive experience with guns, and this was something they could tell.

When the target reporter brought the target paper, everyone gasped. What did they see?
The bullseye on the human-shaped target was completely destroyed, with only scattered scraps of paper stubbornly fluttering in the wind.

Besides the bullseye, the target was hit in other places as well. However, most of those hits were concentrated in the nine and eight rings.

There were no bullet holes outside the eighth ring, which is terrifying.

"Actually, I wasn't in good form this time, and my shots were too scattered."

Chang Ning's words were extremely clear in the quiet environment, and everyone's expression turned unnatural upon hearing them.

Listen to what a human being would say! What do you mean by "bad touch"? If they can't even perform like this, are they unfit to fire a gun?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Chang Ning realized that she had inadvertently turned Versailles into a frenzy.

"Alright, alright. Now that everyone recognizes the gap between us, we need to train hard."

The old man stepped in to smooth things over, which saved Chang Ning; otherwise, Chang Ning certainly wouldn't have had such a good day.
