Shooting Range.
The Shooting Range was precisely the second destination of Li Zhen’s trip.
Bang, bang, bang.
Inside the Shooting Range, Li Zhen held a Handgun and fired continuously at the target.
Although his aim was inadequate, his face was filled with incomparable happiness.
It was because the Handgun was also a Level 1 Machine.
It could be Copied!
【Handgun, Level 1 Machine, Copyable】
【Copyable Rewards: Handgun shooting, partial Level 1 Steel Body】
However, he did not hurry to Copy it, because the Handgun was not his primary target.
Outdoor Shooting Range.
Led by an employee, Li Zhen arrived at the Sniper Rifle shooting range.
“The Cleaver Sniper Rifle is 1,180 millimeters in total length, with a 660-millimeter barrel. It fires 12.7-millimeter bullets.”
“This is an excellent Sniper Rifle produced by an American military equipment company. It uses .408 CheyTac ammunition, with a range of approximately 3,000 meters. This range far exceeds that of ordinary sniper rifles.” The employee introduced it while helping Li Zhen load the bullets.
【Sniper Rifle, Level 1 Machine, Copyable】
【Copyable Rewards: partial Level 1 Steel Body, Sniper Rifle shooting, enhanced vision】
The Sniper Rifle could indeed be Copied.
Moreover, he could obtain so many abilities.
Li Zhen immediately became unable to suppress his excitement.
Copy!
Without hesitation, he immediately Copied the ability of this Cleaver Sniper Rifle.
As he Copied it, a phantom emerged from the Sniper Rifle, unmistakably taking the form of a phantom Sniper Rifle.
This phantom Sniper Rifle split into two parts: the gun body and the scope. The gun body fused into Li Zhen’s right arm, while the scope fused into his eyes.
The two parts became one, and the phantom disappeared.
“Did you just see anything?” Li Zhen Blinked and asked, looking at the employee.
“What do you mean? The birds in the sky? You want to shoot birds?” the employee replied with some Doubt, looking up at the sky as he spoke.
As it happened, several birds were flying across the sky.
Some customers really could not resist firing toward other places.
This was strictly prohibited.
“You can’t do that. Except for the targets, you cannot shoot toward other places. Bullets landing elsewhere may cause unnecessary trouble,” the employee explained to Li Zhen.
“It’s fine.” Li Zhen merely smiled and said nothing more.
It seemed that only he could see the phantom just now.
That put him at ease.
He was extremely excited.
A Sniper Rifle had actually fused with him.
In other words, it was equivalent to carrying a heavy sniper rifle with oneself!
His eyes had also undergone Huge changes because of the scope’s fusion. Looking toward the distant mountains, he discovered that he could switch his focus back and forth.
Even scenery one kilometer away was as clear as if it were right before his eyes.
So Cool!
He recalled the three abilities just now.
Partial Level 1 Steel Body?
Looking at his right arm, he felt no abnormality whatsoever. Yet when he twisted it forcefully, he found it incomparably tough. He knew that this right hand was already completely different. It had reached the strength of a Level 1 Steel Body and could fire bullets capable of taking a person’s Life at any moment.
He could hardly wait to run outside and experience it to his heart’s content.
Outdoor Shooting Range.
“Bang, bang, bang~”
Intermittent sniper shots rang out.
The target was more than five hundred meters away and extremely small, visible only through a small Telescope.
However, unlike the others, Li Zhen used his own eyes.
After fusing with the scope, his eyes had become a pair of natural telescopes.
The recoil of every shot was enormous, shaking Li Zhen’s entire body.
Although the Sniper Rifle was equipped with a silencer, the sound of every bullet fired was Still very loud.
Li Zhen fired fifty shots, but only five grazed the target. He had no idea where the others had flown.
“That’s a pretty good score.” Despite such results, the employee still praised Li Zhen.
After leaving the shooting range, Li Zhen took a taxi straight to an uninhabited forest nearby.
After going deep into the forest on foot, he stopped and raised his right arm.
He had plainly turned his hand into a gun.
His eyes transformed into telescopes, allowing him to easily see scenery one kilometer away.
Target: a protruding tree branch.
Fire. Shoot.
Bang.
Following the command Li Zhen issued in his mind, a sniper bullet suddenly shot from the tip of his index finger.
The bullet was initially illusory, but solidified instantly after leaving his finger.
The sniper bullet was extremely fast, covering a distance of one kilometer in the blink of an eye.
“Crack!” The branch designated as the target was struck by the bullet, and the Huge impact snapped it on the spot.
After the sniper bullet broke the branch, it continued onward with undiminished force, vanishing toward an unknown destination.
“Great!”
Seeing that he had hit the target, Li Zhen was thrilled.
He had not expected to hit it with his very first shot.
“Bang, bang, bang~”
Next, Li Zhen aimed at various objects in the forest and began firing wildly.
Large objects such as tree trunks, and small ones such as little birds.
He snapped a bowl-thick tree trunk with a single shot.
He even blew up the little birds directly.
Too cruel.
Possessing such a deadly weapon as a Sniper Rifle, Li Zhen discovered that killing intent had actually arisen in his heart.
A tremendous desire to Destroy raged within him.
“When one carries a sharp weapon, killing intent naturally arises.”
It seemed he would have to Pay Attention to this in the future.
Li Zhen noticed the thoughts arising in his heart. This made him vigilant and led him to restrain himself inwardly.
He continued practicing, but used only plants as targets and did not shoot any more animals.
His aim also progressed from hitting by coincidence at the beginning to becoming increasingly accurate.
Time passed from Noon into the afternoon.
What surprised Li Zhen most was that his Sniper Rifle actually possessed unlimited ammunition!
Even when he fired without stopping for a moment, bullets continued to emerge endlessly from his fingers.
It really was unlimited ammunition.
Perhaps it was not only that.
“It is most likely unlimited energy,” he guessed inwardly.
His Heart of Concept would provide him with an eternal and inexhaustible source of energy from now on.
“Excellent!”
Never before had Li Zhen felt so Powerful. It was as if he had become Number One Under Heaven.
He looked at a large tree less than ten meters in front of him, one person’s armspan around, and fired directly at it.
“Bang.”
The bullet was immensely powerful, blasting open a hole in the trunk before piercing straight through it in the next moment.
After passing through the first tree, the bullet entered another large tree behind it and pierced through the second tree as well.
Only after striking the third large tree did the bullet finally stop.
Li Zhen walked to the third tree and examined it.
“The bullet has actually Disappeared!”
The trunk was smoking, and the broken area emitted a scorched smell, but the bullet itself was nowhere to be seen.
“Did it turn back into energy?” Thinking of this result, Li Zhen smiled.
Excellent.
This way, not even the final traces or evidence were left behind.
In the future, even if he fired a Sniper Rifle, no one would discover anything.
Li Zhen stopped shooting and walked to a large tree, then punched the trunk.
Thud.
The tree shook.
“It doesn’t hurt at all!”
Li Zhen looked at his fist and found no pain whatsoever.
After fusing with the Sniper Rifle, his right hand had truly become an iron hand.
Seeing the sky darken, Li Zhen finally took a taxi back to the hotel, reluctantly.
It was not that his self-control was poor; the attraction of a heavy sniper rifle was simply too great.
After returning to the hotel, Li Zhen remained highly agitated. Tossing and turning in bed, he thought about possessing the Heart of Concept and now having fused with a Sniper Rifle, and all sorts of thoughts began rushing through his mind.
His thoughts Expanded without limit.
He did not know when he fell asleep.
The next day, after eating breakfast, he once again took a taxi early in the morning to an uninhabited forest.
He had only just obtained his new toy; how could he possibly get tired of playing with it?
There happened to be a lake in the mountains.
Li Zhen fired repeatedly at the lake.
“Bang, bang, bang~”
Every sniper bullet caused Huge waves to erupt across the lake, splashing two or three meters into the air.
The bottom of the lake was as if it had experienced an earthquake. Beneath the unseen water, every bullet that entered caused a violent tremor.
When several bullets struck stones on the lakebed near the shore, they even produced sparks.
He returned home.
For the next month, he hid alone every day in the Deep Mountain Old Forest of his hometown and practiced shooting.
They say that enthusiasm is your teacher, and this saying was indeed true.
Driven by his tremendous enthusiasm, Li Zhen could now hit whatever he pointed at, achieving a hundred percent accuracy.
At least within one kilometer, he never missed.
Beyond two kilometers, his hit rate fell to Half.
Li Zhen truly enjoyed shooting every day. Each time he came to the mountains to practice, firing with complete abandon provided an emotional release, leaving him thoroughly exhilarated.
As for Work, he had already resigned.
He now had a high-class Work—the Life Protector.
【Li Zhen】
【Level 1 Life Protector】
【Origin Point: 0】
After Copying the Sniper Rifle’s ability, his Level naturally rose to Level 1.
On this day, Li Zhen finally received another Mission.
Novice Mission.
