Special Reward

One-hundred-meter mobile rapid fire included several events: individual, two-person, and even whole combat squad mobile rapid fire. What Jiang Yan Hai and the others were competing in now was naturally the individual event.

Mobile rapid fire differed from fixed-target shooting. It required one magazine change midway and hitting all targets. The targets popped up automatically, with both moving and stationary targets.

There was no limit on how many bullets could be used per target; they only had to be knocked down. Of course, using more bullets would lower the overall score and naturally increase the time taken, but that did not mean single shots were always best.

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

The instant his voice fell, Jiang Yan Hai lunged into the training ground like a hunting cheetah striking its prey.

Almost the moment he entered, the first gunshot rang out. With a bang, a hole instantly appeared in the first target's head, and the entire target fell backward.

The moment Jiang Yan Hai charged forward, Gong Jian's pupils contracted sharply, because Gong Jian, who had come from the Special Forces, recognized it at once.

The assault technique Jiang Yan Hai was using was actually the most common assault technique in the Special Forces! Efficient! Clean! But it demanded extremely high physical fitness and shooting ability from the individual!

But then, rhythmic bangs rang out in near-continuous succession. Every shot was a single round, and every bullet struck the forehead, right between the eyes, of the half-body humanoid targets!

With a click, Jiang Yan Hai actually completed the required magazine change in the instant he performed a tactical roll!

The moment he sprang back up, the firearm in his hands had already returned to a ready-to-fire state. The next bullet left the barrel almost the instant the target popped up!

Bang! As the final target was knocked down, Gong Jian almost instinctively pressed the stopwatch in his hand.

"31.22 seconds!" When Gong Jian announced the result, even his lips could not help trembling!

Because while this result would not have been the best in the Special Forces, it definitely would not have been among the worst either!

Most terrifying of all, every target popped back up into place. Everyone could see clearly that every half-body humanoid target had been hit between the eyes without exception. One-hundred-meter mobile rapid fire did not even require hitting a particular location!

And every target had been taken down with a single shot! Not one target had been fired at twice!

With that score right before them, not only the soldiers taking the assessment but even the company commanders, instructors, and senior master sergeants like Old Hei were stunned.

This was simply too insane. And they were supposed to believe he was a recruit?

If he told anyone that this was a recruit's score, they would probably beat him to death!

The soldiers watching from the sidelines could not help cheering and shouting their approval after Jiang Yan Hai finished and Gong Jian announced the result!

A true powerhouse earned everyone's respect! Because this was fucking incredible!

The military camp did not care about hiding one's talents. Here, the strong were revered! Strength was king!

"How did you do it? Those shooting movements and everything just now—you haven't learned those yet, have you?" Gong Jian could not help asking.

Everyone else turned their eyes toward him as well. This was simply too shocking. He was a recruit! A recruit!

If recruits were already like this, how were veterans supposed to survive?!

"It's very simple. Watch videos, break down every movement, remember the timing and techniques for each movement, the timing of firing, and so on. As long as you analyze it, you can do it." Those familiar four words came out of Jiang Yan Hai's mouth again.

Hearing the words "it's very simple," Gong Jian felt the corner of his mouth twitch, even though this was only the second time he had heard them.

But he really wanted to hit someone!

Gong Jian did not ask for further details. All of Jiang Yan Hai's personal history and background files were in his possession, and the political review had long since been completed. There were no issues with Jiang Yan Hai's identity or anything else, so there was no need to doubt it. Some matters needed to be understood in private.

If he had completed one-hundred-meter mobile shooting like that, there was even less need to mention the upcoming fixed-target shooting. Every one of Jiang Yan Hai's shooting scores was a perfect ten!

Not a single exception! Even the top marksmen of Sharpshooter Fourth Company might not have been this good.

There was no need to say anything more. Just looking at the expressions of the other soldiers taking the assessment made it obvious.

If someone was only a little stronger than you, perhaps you could still refuse to accept it. But when someone was far stronger than you, all you could do was admire them, even if they were just a recruit.

Wang Yan Bing and He Chen Guang had each earned that kind of recognition in their respective regiments and squads over the past month, while Jiang Yan Hai had done it in just one day!

The assessment results were announced in front of everyone, so there was naturally no issue with Jiang Yan Hai. He joined Sharpshooter Fourth Company directly.

After Gong Jian announced the result, the mechanical voice of the Red Star Engine rang out in Jiang Yan Hai's mind.

Mission: Join Sharpshooter Fourth Company completed. Reward: Physical fitness +20, Neural Reaction +20, special skill ×1. Detected that recruit Jiang Yan Hai joined Sharpshooter Fourth Company with the highest assessment score, exceeding mission requirements. Reward: Electronic Information Warfare Support Program activated, B-Class Computer Hacking Skills.

Jiang Yan Hai could not help looking astonished. Damn, it even had hacking skills? And there were levels too?

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

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

Of course, Jiang Yan Hai certainly would not tell the truth.

"Jiang Yan Hai." Gong Jian smiled and spoke. There was no one else around at the moment. Every company had gone off to train, including Fourth Company. Only Gong Jian and Jiang Yan Hai remained here.

"Here!" Jiang Yan Hai quickly snapped to attention.

"All right, relax. Let's just chat. So, your joining Fourth Company is settled. You probably do not care about those rumors, but there is one thing I want to know. Your current abilities obviously could not have been trained in a day or two. What exactly happened to you during recruit training?"

As the instructor and a political officer, chatting with soldiers and understanding their thoughts was one of Gong Jian's duties.

So the question was not abrupt, but Jiang Yan Hai fell silent for a moment. Mainly because he did not know how to explain it. He had no relatives. The old principal who had adopted him back then was still alive, and the old principal's family was doing well now, so Jiang Yan Hai did not need to worry about anything.

As for anything else, Jiang Yan Hai was an orphan. If he had contacted the outside world during recruit training, would the military not have records of it?

So he could not even come up with an excuse, leaving Jiang Yan Hai silent for a time.

"Jiang Yan Hai, as your instructor, I should understand your mental state. But the military emphasizes humane leadership now, especially the psychological condition of the soldiers. So if you do not want to talk about it, you do not have to. It's all right," Gong Jian said with a smile.
