Chapter 124 - Gun Proficiency? Advancement to Elite Sharpsho

Tap-tap-tap…

Fire snakes spewed from the muzzle.

Even though the Class 3 rangers were still not used to the attacking method of firearms,

However, with their strong shooting talent, many bullets still hit the target.

Moments later, the few zombies in front of him were shot and holes riddled them like a beehive.

“Oh my god! This lump of metal is so powerful!”

“It’s accuracy is good too. It feels easier to get started than a bow. It’s just the recoil that is not newbie friendly.”

“Its single-target firepower is not as strong as the Storm of Arrows, but it’s superior in quantity. A single shot can even pierce through the skull of a Level 2 zombie. It’s not considered bad amongst the class 3 weapons.”

“There’s also the problem with shooting speed. In the blink of an eye, more than ten shots could be fired. What kind of concept is that? It’s equivalent to being able to fire a dozen or so weaker version of Storm of Arrows in each breath. With a hundred people, that means there are thousands of bullets shot. Heavens, I don’t even dare to imagine. This is too terrifying.”

“All of you have neglected one important point. This iron lump does not consume elemental power. As long as we have resources, we can continue fighting for a long time. It can be called an Infinite Storm of Arrows. That is the most terrifying thing.”

After witnessing the power of firearms, the rangers’ eyes turned red with excitement.

Everyone discussed intensely as they quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this magical weapon from the other world.

“Oh yeah, when I was buying the blueprint, they gave me a manual and instructions. F*ck, I forgot about this.”

Suddenly, Lin Ye slapped his forehead and quickly took out the manual for M4A1 from the Reputation Shop.

“Come, come, come. Let’s study it together. The one with the strongest comprehension skills will go first. It’s fine if you don’t understand the Chinese characters. I’ll help you translate it.”

Soon, the rangers in the front row surrounded Lin Ye again. They gathered together and listened to their lord’s explanation.

“Oh, so the basic usage methods are divided into three consecutive shots, semi-automatic and fully automatic…”

“The operation isn’t too difficult. Isn’t this too newbie-friendly?”

“Firearms have proficiency levels as well. The more you practice, the better you get. They are split into ranks, newbie, elites, specialists, experts, masters, gun kings, gun emperors, gun gods!”

Ten minutes later, the group seemed intoxicated. The weapons of China were too advanced.

Compared to that, the bows and arrows that they originally used were trash.

It was difficult to get good at bows. Not only did it require high elemental power talent, it was also impossible for untalented people to become elemental rangers. If they could not even reach the basic threshold for Storm of Arrows, they would only be ranked last in their lives.

But it was different now. With a firearm like M4A1,

Even a Class 1 ranger, as long as they were trained well, could have the lethality of a top Class 3 ranger for a short period of time.

This was too terrifying!

Just think about it, if tens of thousands of rangers were each given an M4A1, they would dare to destroy a Level 1 Haunted House which was was seven, eight, or even nine stars.

After that, they practiced shooting a few more times. Most rangers could use it basically.

Even though the hit rate still needed to be increased, it was already a crushing victory when compared to humans like Wang Qiang.

“Alright, that’s all for the testing of firearms. The four-star Haunted House will be the real practice field.”

Lin Ye waved his hand to stop the eager rangers. They had just learned a new weapon and were itching to use it.

However, Lin Ye did not dare to let them waste the bullets. The bullets were hastily processed, so there were only a total of 20,000 bullets. With just a few rounds of testing, he had used up more than a thousand bullets. The remaining bullets would still have to be used at the four and five-star Level 1 Haunted Houses. It was probably not enough.

He would fight the four-star haunted house first and open a bunch of treasure chests after that.

At that time, the number of treasure chests would probably be a little scary.

Xu Que had three one-star Haunted Houses on his side, while Luo Feng had a two-star Haunted House. He himself had just destroyed his second three-star Haunted House not long ago.

Including the four-star Haunted House that he was about to attack.

Wow, there were probably more than a thousand bronze treasure chests.

There were so many chests, and with his luck being so good right now, he might be able to drop tens of thousands of M4A1 bullets.

Even if they did not drop it, with more than 1,000 bronze treasure chests, it would at least ensure that 80% of the soldiers would be wearing Class 3 Purple tier equipment by the end of it. There was even a 10% chance that all of them could be wearing Class 4 Silver Tier equipment.

With such high-level equipment, it was probably not difficult for him to fight a five-star haunted house.

Of course, these were purely hypothetical. He still had to look ahead.

“It’s getting late, Su Yu. Get your men to inform Luo Feng and Xu Que to come back as soon as possible after they were done.”

After he finished speaking, Lin Ye led his personal guards and charged towards the four-star Level 1 Haunted House.

The four-star haunted house was located outside the forest. It was a wasteland filled with grayish-brown soil.

In a certain era, this was where the human lords gathered.

One could vaguely see many remnants of houses on the wasteland.

Perhaps it was once prosperous here. The buildings were densely packed, and looking at the scale, the number of people was no less than a thousand.

Unfortunately, it was all in the past now. Time constantly chipped at it till it completely collapsed into rubble.

As for those people living in this wasteland, they had most likely already turned into a pile of yellow sand.

“There are so many of them!”

Two hundred meters away, Lin Ye used Heart’s Web to scout the four-star haunted house.

His gaze swept across the Haunted House’s courtyard. There were many zombies everywhere. If he was not wrong, the information in the archive room was true.

The zombies here were really more than twice the amount of a three-star Haunted House. Their scale far surpassed any Lin Ye had seen.

Before they even got close, they could hear the terrifying roars of a large number of zombies.

At the same time, the waves from Hint also scanned the entire four-star Haunted House.

Soon, the information returned.

“Friendly Hint: Four-star Level 1 Haunted House. 18,396 zombies. 60% is Level 1 zombies, 30% is Level 2, 10% is Level 3. There might be Level 4 Zombies hiding. (Unknown, no details).”

“Friendly Hint: For detailed information you need to level your talent, to peek through the dark fog.”

“Difficulty Prediction: G Class (Advanced)”

After reading the notification from Hint, Lin Ye nodded. It was similar to what he expected.

Before he obtained the M4A1, he had used Hint once to predict the difficulty and the result was E Class.

This meant that even if he killed indiscriminately, his army might suffer quite a bit.

If they were newly recruited soldiers, it would not matter since their loyalty was not enough. He could always just recruit another if they died.

However, every soldier here was a loyalist that he had spent a lot of money and feelings to nurture.

He would not accept any deaths.

Fortunately, he had recovered now. Wasn’t this a chance for a perfect victory for a G Class difficulty?

“Everyone with guns, disperse. Bring a silencer and adjust it to three consecutive shots mode. Don’t waste bullets. Shoot at the zombies while practicing your technique. We still have 18,000 bullets left. 135 each. Give me the rest. As long as we can succeed in decimating half of their forces, we can easily kill the remaining 7,000 to 8,000 lower-level zombies.”

“Everyone else, be on guard. Once you find a high-level zombie leader controlling them, launch an all-out attack.”

“Disperse!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of afterimages vanished.

Rangers were the best at combat in the forest. Soon, they found their hiding spots.

They were in all directions.

“Biubiu—”

Soon, someone couldn’t stand the loneliness and started to shoot.

Lin Ye did not join the shooting group for the time being. Instead, he observed the 130 rangers through Heart’s Web.

He wanted to find a few people with the best firearms talent.

With the arrival of the four sacred halls at midnight, he might be able to grant a few places to the rangers.

If some of them advanced to special classes or awakened special abilities in the end, wouldn’t it be a huge gain?

“Biubiu!!!”

After putting on the silencer, other than Lin Ye who had a sensitive hearing,

the zombies in the haunted house did not notice anything strange, including the large group guarding the entrance.

Gurgles!

After a while, an extremely talented ranger gradually entered his view. Basically, every four bullets she shot would kill a zombie.

Furthermore, they took aim calmly and the hit rate steadily increased.

“This one is not bad. Mm, her too. Also, the consumption rate has been controlled to 1:3. In a while, it should be able to drop to 1:2.”

Lin Ye sat on a large tree, constantly switching between the different perspectives. Every time he discovered a talent, he would remember the person in his heart.

After watching for a while, other than the few rangers who surprised him, the rest were mostly plain.

Indeed, talent was something only a minority would possess.

The original thought that 18,000 bullets would be enough to kill 8,000 to 9,000 low-level zombies was probably just a dream now.

However, even if they were trash, getting rid of 3,000 to 4,000 zombies should not be a problem.

When the time came, he would get the rangers with the Class 3 Fortress Battle Bow to clear the field. That would take away half of the power of the four-star Haunted House.

Turning it straight to a three-star one. Perfect!

Thinking of this, Lin Ye chuckled, grabbed his M4A1, and started shooting as well.

Biubiu——

Bullets tore through the air.

In the backyard, a zombie was shot in the shoulder and chest.

It was heavily injured but did not die!

“Ah, I wasted two bullets!”

Lin Ye shook his head.

Fortunately, at the same time when he fired, a proficiency bar appeared in his line of sight.

This had never happened before when he used the Desert Eagle and MP9 machine pistol.

Could it only be found from items bought from the reputation shop?

He narrowed his eyes and a bright smile appeared on his face.

He fired continuously.

M4A1 Proficiency 3, M4A1 Proficiency 3, M4A1 Proficiency 3…

100xReward.

M4A1 Proficiency 300, M4A1 Proficiency 300, M4A1 Proficiency 300…

Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your proficiency has reached 10,000 and you have advanced to a newbie sharpshooter!

Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Your proficiency has reached 10,000. You have advanced to an elite sharpshooter!

He listened to the system notification. Lin Ye was improving at a godly speed. The more he fought, the smoother it felt. From a distance of 200 meters, almost all his shots were hitting.

Biubiu————

After a series of crazy shots, green blood spurt out from the eyebrows of the zombies opposite him.

— 200HP!

— 200HP!

It fell to the ground and died!

“Feels good! Hahaha.”

Lin Ye was overjoyed. After killing dozens of zombies, he immediately changed positions.

Biubiu——

Another round of crazy shooting.

In this state, he was like a grim reaper. Every bullet he shot could easily take the life of a zombie!

Even Level 3 zombies were no exception.

Crack—

He was in the middle of shooting when his gun jammed. He had no bullets left!!

Lin Ye looked at Wang Qiang who was still shooting shoddily and sighed in his heart.

As expected, there was no other shooting genius like him among the humans.

Thinking about it, if everyone was like him, wouldn’t it be a mess?

After a while, the other rangers finished their bullets as well.

The effect was alright. In less than 7 minutes, they had killed more than 4,200 low-level zombies.

“Gather!”

He waved his hand and made the rangers with the guns change into their Class 3 Purple Tier Fortress Battle Bow.

The group returned to the place where the main group was lying in ambush. The rangers were all extremely excited.

“My lord, this firearm is too powerful. It feels good to use!”

“That’s right. Near the end, I felt like I’d become a night assassin, kill a few, and change locations. Shooting silently from afar. Its stealth and the safety it provides are much better than crossbow bolts.”

“The only problem is that there are too few bullets. I just warmed up and I’ve finished using them all.”

“Small, powerless!”

In the end, Adelia concluded the conversation.

“Don’t worry, I’ll let you guys have your fill next time.”

Lin Ye smiled confidently. Then, his lord’s skin transformed into golden armor again. He rode the giant earth wolf and waved his hand.

“The assassination has ended. Brothers, fight them head on!!”

“Charge!”

After he spoke, a dark and powerful group of soldiers wearing Class 3 Purple weapons charged forward.
