Chapter 11: 7 bullet holes and 7 rings? Instructor, take a closer look!
The air at the shooting range seemed to freeze.
He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing practically pounced on the target paper, their eyes wide with shock.
"Holy crap...really?" Wang Yanbing swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "There are overlapping burn marks on the edges. It really is three bullets that went through one eye!"
As a sniping genius, He Chenguang's understanding of ballistics far surpasses that of ordinary people. After careful observation, his expression became extremely solemn, even showing a hint of... awe.
"It's not as simple as just crawling through." He Chenguang turned to look at Li Erniu, his voice low. "Two hundred meters away, the target is swaying from side to side. This means you have to catch the moment the target returns to its original position within a fraction of a second, and pull the trigger with zero error so that the three bullets form a straight line."
"This kind of marksmanship... to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever been able to do that!"
Li Erniu rubbed his nose, then resumed his憨厚 (honest and simple) look, chuckling foolishly, "What 'shooting god' or anything? I just shoot a little fast. When I'm chopping dumpling filling in the kitchen, that's the rhythm too, 'da da da da,' all in one go!"
Gong Jian felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning a hundred times.
Looking at Li Erniu's simple-minded face, and then at the target paper that could be described as a work of art, he felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
Seven shots hit the bullseye, three shots overlapped.
Based on the actual hit count, Li Erniu scored—a perfect 100! A perfect score!
And it was a miraculous full ring!
It's ridiculous that he just mocked someone in front of the whole company, saying they were disgracing their ancestors and that he wanted them to crawl three times in a low position.
Now it seems, who really lost face?
Squad Leader Lao Hei chimed in with a sarcastic remark, "Instructor, according to the rules, Li Erniu's performance... not only should he not have to do the laps, but it should also be recorded in the company's honor room, right?"
Gong Jian's face changed from black to red, from red to purple, and finally turned into a liver color.
He gritted his teeth, staring intently at Li Erniu, and after a long while, he finally blurted out, "Li Erniu! Since you have this ability, why didn't you fire one shot at a time? Why did you have to finish it in three seconds?!"
Li Erniu was taken aback, then chuckled and said, "Instructor, what are you saying? If you're so capable, shouldn't you fire even faster? Besides, I was so nervous watching He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing fight so well. When I got nervous, my hand started shaking, and who knew the bullet would go straight into one of my eyes..."
Shaky hands?
Can shaky hands produce a three-piece combo?
Upon hearing this, all the soldiers in the company felt an urge to take off their shoes and beat the guy.
[Ding! Host detected to have completed Ultimate Versailles. Gong Jian's heart has suffered 10,000 points of true damage. Shock value +15000!]
[Detected: Sharpshooter's four consecutive shots have completely shattered everyone's worldview; Shock level +30000!]
Li Erniu was secretly thrilled, but he still had to pretend on the surface.
He looked at Gong Jian, then adopted the air of an elder, and sighed:
"Instructor, although I reported my score as 70 rings, now that the target is here and the truth is out, can I skip the three laps of low crawling? My old bones can't take that much torture."
Gong Jian felt a sweet taste in his throat and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Can you waive it?
It's more than just being exempted! He now wishes he could disappear into a crack in the ground!
"Forget it! Get back here right now!" Gong Jian roared, his voice filled with exhaustion.
"Alright! Thank you, Xiao Gong... oh no! Thank you, Instructor!!" Li Erniu saluted and turned to leave.
"Alright, get out of here! Get out of my sight right now!" Gong Jian waved his hand weakly.
He understands now.
Whether it's hand-to-hand combat, physical fitness, or shooting, if he tries to suppress Li Erniu in any way, he will inevitably be the one who gets hurt in the end.
How could Li Erniu be his nemesis?
This was absolute hell for him!
……
On the way back to the company.
He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing flanked Li Erniu like guardians.
"Erniu, tell me honestly, were you modified by aliens?" Wang Yanbing reached out and pinched Li Erniu's arm. "These muscles aren't that exaggerated, how come your explosive power is so strong?"
Li Erniu chuckled and said, "I just have good genes."
Wang Yanbing said, "Now I understand, the instructor is doomed to fail because of you."
Meanwhile, Gong Jian, who was walking at the back of the line, was having a low conversation with Squad Leader Lao Hei.
"Old Hei, what do you think?" Gong Jian's tone became more serious than ever before.
Sergeant Lao Hei was silent for a moment, then said, "This soldier... keeping him in the mess hall is a waste. His shooting talent has surpassed everyone in our fourth company, and even those veteran snipers in the regiment."
Gong Jian nodded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: "You're right. Although his identity is special, and his seniority... cough, his seniority is also high, he's a gem. Since he's a gem, he should be placed in the most crucial position."
"So what do you plan to do?"
Gong Jian snorted coldly, a somewhat sinister smile appearing on his lips: "Didn't he want to retire in the mess hall? Didn't he want to be my great-uncle? Fine, I'll grant his wish. When the annual military exercise starts next week, I'll assign him to the special reconnaissance team. Since he's a sharpshooter, he should do the work of a sharpshooter."
"But the instructor, he hasn't been in the army for long, and he hasn't practiced any tactical coordination or anything like that."
"If he hasn't practiced, he should start practicing now!" Gong Jian gritted his teeth. "I refuse to believe that he can get by on the battlefield with that 'chopping dumpling filling' theory!!"
……
Li Erniu was unaware that his adopted grandson had already dug an even bigger pit for him.
He was sitting in the kitchen of the mess hall, happily drinking the bone broth that Sergeant Ma had specially saved for him.
"Erniu, you really made our cook squad leader proud today!" Squad Leader Ma exclaimed, beaming. "I heard the instructor's hands were shaking when he was checking the targets at the end?"
Li Erniu took a big gulp of soup, wiped his mouth, and said, "That's right, Xiao Gong is still young and lacks self-control. Squad leader, I've decided that, as a reward for myself, I'll cut two extra pieces of fatty pork for tonight's braised pork!"
"Fine! You can even stew the whole pot, I won't mind!"
