Special Reward

The 100-meter speed shooting event included multiple disciplines: individual, pair, and even entire combat team speed shooting. Jiang Yan Hai and his teammates were competing in the individual event.

Unlike static target shooting, speed shooting required a magazine change mid-event. All targets were automatic pop-up style, with both moving and stationary types.

Each target didn't limit the number of bullets used, as long as the target was hit. However, using more bullets would lower the overall score and increase the time taken. Still, it didn't mean single shots were always the best.

Standing at the entrance, Jiang Yan Hai took a deep breath and then shouted, "Start!"

The moment his voice fell, Jiang Yan Hai lunged into the training ground like a striking leopard.

Almost as soon as he entered, the first shot rang out. With a "bang," a hole appeared in the head of the first target, and it immediately fell backward.

As Jiang Yan Hai advanced, Gong Jian's pupils contracted sharply. Having come from the special forces, Gong Jian immediately recognized the technique.

The assault technique Jiang Yan Hai was using was the most common one employed by special forces units! It was highly efficient and concise, but demanded exceptional personal physical fitness and shooting skills!

However, the rhythmic "bang," "bang" of gunshots continued almost without pause. All shots were single-fire, and each bullet struck the forehead of the half-body human silhouette targets!

With a "click," as Jiang Yan Hai executed a tactical roll, he managed to complete the required magazine change!

The moment he rolled back up, the firearm in his hand was already in a ready-to-fire state. The next bullet was almost fired the instant the target popped up!

"Bang!" With a single shot, the last target fell. Gong Jian instinctively pressed the stopwatch in his hand.

"31.22 seconds!" Gong Jian's lips trembled as he announced the time!

While this score wasn't the absolute best in the special forces, it certainly wasn't the worst!

What was truly terrifying was that all the targets had reset, and everyone could clearly see that every single half-body human silhouette target had been hit precisely in the forehead, without exception. It was important to remember that the 100-meter speed shooting didn't specify where the targets needed to be hit!

Furthermore, all targets were hit with single shots! Not a single target required two shots!

With this result on display, it wasn't just the soldiers participating in the assessment who were stunned, but even the company commanders, political instructors, and senior non-commissioned officers like Old Hei were taken aback.

This was simply unbelievable. How could this be a recruit?

If you told anyone that this was a recruit's performance, you'd likely be beaten to death!

The soldiers watching couldn't help but cheer loudly after Jiang Yan Hai finished and Gong Jian announced the time!

True strength earned everyone's respect! Because this was undeniably impressive!

The military camp didn't value hiding one's abilities; it valued the strong ruling and strength being king!

"How did you do it? Those shooting movements and techniques, you haven't learned those yet, have you?" Gong Jian couldn't help but ask.

Everyone else also turned their attention to Jiang Yan Hai. It was truly astonishing, considering he was a recruit! A recruit!

If a recruit performed like this, how were the veterans supposed to live?!

"It's very simple. I watched videos, broke down all the movements, memorized the timing, techniques, and firing opportunities for each action. Once analyzed, it's achievable," Jiang Yan Hai replied, uttering those familiar four words again.

Hearing "It's very simple," Gong Jian felt an urge to twitch his mouth, even though it was only the second time he'd heard it.

He really wanted to hit someone!

Gong Jian didn't ask for more details. Jiang Yan Hai's entire experience and background information were already in his possession, and the political vetting had been completed long ago. His identity and everything else were without issue, so there was no need to doubt these matters. Some things needed to be understood in private.

With the 100-meter speed shooting completed so impressively, the static target shooting was even less of a challenge. Jiang Yan Hai's scores for all static targets were perfect 10s!

Without a single exception! Such shooting performance might even be beyond the capabilities of the elite marksmen in the Sharpshooter Fourth Company.

There was no need to say more; the expressions of the other soldiers undergoing the assessment made it clear.

If someone was slightly better than you, you might refuse to admit it. But when someone was vastly superior, all you could do was admire them, even if they were just a recruit.

Wang Yan Bing and He Chen Guang had earned such recognition within their respective regiments and squads over the past month. Jiang Yan Hai, however, had achieved it in just one day!

The assessment results were announced in front of everyone, so there were no issues for Jiang Yan Hai, and he was directly assigned to the Sharpshooter Fourth Company.

When Gong Jian announced the result, a mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Yan Hai's mind.

"Mission: Join Sharpshooter Fourth Company completed. Rewards: Physical Fitness +20, Neural Reaction +20, Special Skill x1. Detected: New recruit Jiang Yan Hai joined Sharpshooter Fourth Company with the first-place assessment score, exceeding mission requirements. Reward: Electronic Information Warfare Support Program activated, B-Class Computer Hacking Skills."

Jiang Yan Hai couldn't help but show surprise. "Holy crap, there's hacking skill too? And it has levels?"

"What? Surprised?" Gong Jian asked with a smile.

"Uh, a little," Jiang Yan Hai quickly replied. Gong Jian had just assigned Jiang Yan Hai to Old Hei's squad, meaning he would be in the same squad as He Chen Guang.

Of course, Jiang Yan Hai wasn't going to tell the truth.

"Jiang Yan Hai," Gong Jian said with a smile. At this moment, no one else was around. All the companies had gone for training, including the Fourth Company. Only Gong Jian and Jiang Yan Hai were there.

"Here!" Jiang Yan Hai quickly stood at attention.

"Alright, relax. Let's just treat this as a casual chat. So, your joining the Fourth Company is settled. As for those rumors, I assume you don't care. However, there's something I'd like to know. Your current performance clearly isn't something that can be trained in just a day or two. What exactly happened during your recruit training?"

As a political instructor, engaging in heart-to-heart talks with soldiers was part of Gong Jian's job.

So, his question wasn't abrupt. However, Jiang Yan Hai fell silent for a moment, mainly because he didn't know how to answer. He had no close relatives. The old principal who adopted him was still alive and well, and the principal's family was in good financial condition, so Jiang Yan Hai didn't need to worry about them.

As for other matters, Jiang Yan Hai was an orphan. Whether he had contacted the outside world during his recruit training would surely be recorded by the military.

Therefore, he couldn't even come up with an excuse, which led to his momentary silence.

"Look, Jiang Yan Hai, as your political instructor, I should understand your psychological state. However, the army now emphasizes humanistic management, especially regarding the psychological well-being of soldiers. So, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. It's fine," Gong Jian said with a smile.
