Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 7 Rapid Fire
The old man's words seemed to say nothing, but they said everything. In the class, only Xiao Zhuang scored 95 rings in shooting, second only to Chang Ning's "ten rings".

Xiao Zhuang: You can just give me your name or ID number.

It was everyone's first official target practice, and they all did quite well, with no one missing the target. The new recruits were quite happy, but the veteran's sarcastic remarks were like a bucket of cold water in this enthusiastic atmosphere, chilling them to the bone.

The new recruits didn't understand why the veterans were targeting them, especially Xiao Zhuang, who felt particularly aggrieved, as he felt he was being deliberately targeted by the veterans.

Xiao Zhuang is the kind of person who can't tolerate any flaws. If you don't like me, I won't give you the time of day.

"Report, shouldn't we praise and encourage those who achieve good results?"

Even if you don't praise them, you shouldn't at least be sarcastic or cynical!

Just as the old man predicted, Xiao Zhuang exploded like a firecracker. What he said made a lot of sense, but little did Xiao Zhuang know that this was all a trap to set him up.

Chang Ning stood in the queue, watching the veteran's awkward acting with a "let's have a good show" attitude, little did he know that the flames of war would soon be upon him.

"What's so great about your achievements? Let me tell you, your results are only average in our reconnaissance company."

"You think you're so great just because you're shooting at a static target!"

The veteran player directly confronted him, saying that today's farce was just a way to suppress and discipline Xiao Zhuang. Through his observations, the veteran player found that Xiao Zhuang was too stubborn and prone to making foolish mistakes; if he wasn't properly disciplined, he would cause big trouble sooner or later.

Moreover, the atmosphere in the class has become somewhat restless lately, and the training results have not been good. As an excellent reconnaissance soldier who always strives to be the best, I really can't stand it anymore.

"How about you, squad leader, set an example for us and show us the style of the elite reconnaissance company?"

Xiao Zhuang was most annoyed by Lao Pao's constant talk about the reconnaissance company. He could usually tolerate it, but now that Lao Pao had added fuel to the fire, his anger had already flared up.

His tone was full of provocation.

In Chang Ning's view, the reason for this situation is the difference in thinking between Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao. Lao Pao values ​​collective honor, while Xiao Zhuang is more self-centered.

This is precisely where Xiao Zhuang is out of place in the military, because the military values ​​a sense of collective honor.

"Alright, I'll show you today. But what's the point of static targets? How about a 100-meter moving rapid-fire target for reconnaissance soldiers? You dare to try?"

After saying that, the old gunman explained what rapid-fire on the move was: "The 100-meter rapid-fire exercise for reconnaissance soldiers is 100 meters long. There will be various obstacles and targets that are either hidden or suddenly pop up. What we have to do is run 100 meters within 40 seconds and hit the target with every shot to pass."

I don't expect you to use the same tactics as me, since I haven't taught you yet. I'll accept defeat if you can complete them in the same time as me.

Old Pao was afraid that Xiao Zhuang would go back on his word, so he deliberately used a provocation at the end of his sentence.

Chang Ning's expression turned strange after overhearing their conversation. The plot had changed again; he remembered there was a coin toss competition before the rapid-fire exercise, what happened to that?

While Chang Ning was still in a daze, the old gunman quickly completed the rapid-fire exercise in 36 seconds!
As expected of an elite member selected for the Wolf Fang training camp, he is agile and exudes masculine beauty.

"Well, is it still not too late to identify the bear?"

The old man calmed his breathing and said slowly.

"Recognize a bear? That's impossible!"

Despite his tough talk, Xiao Zhuang was actually quite unsure of himself.

Xiao Zhuang had never been exposed to the rapid-fire shooting technique before; he only learned about this training method today.

Even if you lose, you shouldn't lose face. Besides, he hasn't even played yet, so he might not necessarily lose.

After saying that, Xiao Zhuang picked up his gun and was about to rush into the rapid-fire range when the veteran gunner quickly grabbed him.

"What's the rush? There's still one person here."

Seeing that the veteran was focusing his gaze on him, Chang Ning was extremely unwilling; he didn't want to participate in this kind of training.

Anyway, the squad leader will teach me after I join the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, so there's no benefit to getting in touch with it now. What else can I do besides show off my marksmanship and athletic talent?
However, he happened to dislike showing off, so Chang Ning was filled with resistance to the old man's decision.

"Chang Ning, you should give it a try too."

Previously, through clues on the target paper, he discovered that Chang Ning's shooting performance was problematic; the guy might be a shooting prodigy. The problem was that these were all just his own speculations, so the old gunner decided to take this opportunity to probe Chang Ning's true abilities.

As everyone knows, hitting a stationary target and hitting a moving target are two different things; the latter is much more difficult than the former. If Chang Ning can achieve good results in rapid-fire while moving, then this guy will probably be a real gem. When the new recruits are assigned to their units, he'll risk his reputation to bring Chang Ning to their reconnaissance company.

Besides, the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company is the elite unit of the entire regiment. Is it wrong to prioritize its recruitment?
"Can I not go?"

"What did you say?"

Well, since they insisted he participate, Chang Ning had no choice but to reluctantly show off his skills, but he couldn't let the old pro lead him by the nose.

Chang Ning racked his brains and came up with a plan: to fight fire with fire.

In short, it's just borrowing the bet between Lao Pao and Xiao Zhuang from the original storyline. Chang Ning directly copied it completely. I just took a look, and rapid-fire shooting in motion isn't difficult for him.

"Squad leader, what's the point of just having a direct competition? How about we make a bet?"

For some reason, the old man felt something was off about Chang Ning's bright smile, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"What kind of bet? Tell me first."

"Simply put, if Xiao Zhuang wins, you do a hundred push-ups. Conversely, if he wins, he does a hundred push-ups."

Before Lao Pao could even say anything after hearing Chang Ning's terms, Xiao Zhuang objected.

Do you really think he's stupid? You, Chang Ning, won't lose anything by betting with the class monitor, regardless of whether you win or lose. In the end, only I will get hurt. Why should I?
"Chang Ning, why did you drag me into this bet with the squad leader? This bet must be about the two of you."

"Okay, I agree."

Old Pao was someone who loved watching the drama unfold. He didn't think he would lose, so he didn't refuse Chang Ning's conditions. Xiao Zhuang, standing to the side, turned green with envy.

"Squad leader, I'm ready."

Xiao Zhuang signaled that he was ready, and then after Lao Pao shouted "Start!", he dashed out.

Because the veteran didn't require Xiao Zhuang to perform any tactical maneuvers, his movements appeared somewhat clumsy compared to the veteran's, but he was still able to hit the target with almost every shot.

In the end, influenced by the plot, Xiao Zhuang still threw the gun and knocked down the target.

"36 seconds."

The teammate in charge of counting down the seconds revealed Xiao Zhuang's score.

According to what the veteran player said before, this time Xiao Zhuang won.

"Chang Ning, be careful. Rapid-fire shooting while moving is difficult."

Xiao Zhuang's expression wasn't good. For him, the final blow was delivered with a gun, which was far from perfect, and there was nothing to be happy about.

As fellow new recruits, Xiao Zhuang hoped that Chang Ning would perform better than him and outshine the veteran.

"understood."

After Chang Ning finished speaking, he stood outside the starting line and gave the veteran a "OK" sign.

"start!"

Chang Ning's starting speed was visibly faster than Xiao Zhuang's; the spot where he had just stood was trampled into a shallow pit, demonstrating just how powerful his explosive force was.

Chang Ning is faster than the veteran, and what's scary is that his tactical movements are basically the same as the veteran's. Even if his movements are occasionally out of sync, it doesn't affect his accuracy.

Chang Ning's slick movements on the rapid-fire range amazed not only the veteran and his comrades, but also Miao Lian, who was observing from a distance.

"So this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people?"
