A Grand Gift for You (Part 1)

After setting up his sniper position, Jiang Yan Hai took a deep breath, quickly returned to the vicinity of He Chen Guang and the others, and erased all the traces he had left behind.

For the traces that could not be erased, Jiang Yan Hai began using them in conjunction with booby traps. This route was the best path from He Chen Guang's position straight to his sniper position.

Along this route, Jiang Yan Hai used the traces he had left behind, as well as calculations based on the terrain, the way the trees grew, and other factors, to determine the points every person's footsteps would inevitably pass through, whether they were running or walking. Then he began laying booby traps.

It had to be said that the Coffin Board Skill was truly formidable. It was no longer merely an auxiliary shooting skill. If it were treated as nothing more than a shooting aid, that would be an enormous waste.

For example, on a slope, the walking posture a person needed to adopt to cross it quickly and safely could be completely calculated. Even certain actions caused by instinctive human reactions could be calculated.

With such assistance, setting booby traps could not have been easier!

Just as Jiang Yan Hai finished setting the third booby trap, a chime rang in his mind—the notification sound of the Red Star Auxiliary Engine.

"Detected that the target has fully mastered the Unsuppressible Newton's Coffin Lid Skill. Skill upgraded to B-rank. The target has actively expanded the skill. Special skill awarded: Camouflage Skill B-rank."

Jiang Yan Hai froze for a moment, then a surge of wild delight rose on his face. Damn, he had never expected such a surprise.

It seemed that all skills could be improved independently!

Moreover, the other applications of the Unsuppressible Newton's Coffin Lid Skill had indeed been developed by Jiang Yan Hai himself.

This Camouflage Skill B-rank was exactly what he needed, since he still had to establish a sniper position next.

Since this place was safe enough, Jiang Yan Hai simply claimed the skill right away.

Soon, a huge amount of knowledge began flooding into his mind. Compared to B-rank Black Technology Knowledge, though, this was far less.

Yet once the skill had been fully acquired, Jiang Yan Hai's expression became extremely strange.

He had thought this was a combat support skill that helped camouflage positions and conceal his tracks. But after receiving it, Jiang Yan Hai realized he had been completely wrong!

There was indeed knowledge about camouflaging positions, hiding walking tracks, and so on, but it made up only a tiny portion. The rest was something else entirely.

Could this really be called camouflage? Why did it feel more like one of Asia's four great dark arts—Japanese makeup?!

And it seemed even more excessive than that. Jiang Yan Hai now knew a whole pile of lipstick shades, all kinds of cosmetics, clothing combinations, and more.

Most importantly, this skill could help Jiang Yan Hai design the most suitable hairstyle, clothing, and so on based on a person's body type.

Or he could specify the appearance of the target he wanted to disguise himself as, and it would likewise provide the optimal answer.

Jiang Yan Hai had the illusion that, if he wanted to, he could turn himself into a cross-dressing master in minutes!

The kind who could turn men gay, too!

Damn it! Jiang Yan Hai's mouth twitched, but he also knew that a skill like this would genuinely be useful when Special Forces Soldiers underwent behind-enemy-lines infiltration training!

Forget it. Shaking his head and putting those thoughts aside for now, Jiang Yan Hai immediately used his new skill to reassess the booby traps he had set earlier.

Sure enough, although the booby traps made with the Coffin Board Skill were already exceptionally perfect, after gaining the Camouflage Skill B-rank, he actually discovered quite a few details he had overlooked.

Jiang Yan Hai immediately dealt with every one of those points. Only after handling all three camouflage flaws did he return to his sniper position.

Next, Jiang Yan Hai camouflaged and redesigned his sniper position as well.

After finishing all that, Jiang Yan Hai swiftly gathered all his equipment and left the area, heading straight for another backup hiding spot ten kilometers away.

After all, once He Chen Guang and Wang Yan Bing had established that sniper position, they would not be withdrawing tonight. Jiang Yan Hai had plenty of time.

At the backup hiding spot, Jiang Yan Hai concealed most of his supplies there, then returned to his previous sniper position lightly equipped, carrying only his weapons and a small amount of ammunition.

If he successfully sniped Fan Tian Lei tomorrow, he would definitely be stirring up a hornet's nest, so he had to travel light.

After setting up his sniper position, Jiang Yan Hai switched the custom scope on his Type 10 Rifle into night mode. Sure enough, He Chen Guang and Wang Yan Bing were still there.

After confirming that they were still present, Jiang Yan Hai closed his eyes and began resting.

When the sky began to brighten, Jiang Yan Hai abruptly opened his eyes. Though he had not rested for long, his ability to quickly enter high-quality sleep had already restored his energy.

Through the scope, he watched He Chen Guang and Wang Yan Bing. The two of them had probably taken turns resting through the night.

As daylight fully broke, Jiang Yan Hai finally heard the rumble of tanks. His spirits immediately lifted. It looked like they were coming.

From his direction, though, he could only see He Chen Guang's sniper position, not the road the tanks were traveling down.

But that did not matter. He had not come to take on a tank company in the first place. He was here to lure the big fish behind them, and He Chen Guang was naturally the bait.

After all, He Chen Guang's identity was special. Fan Tian Lei would definitely be keeping an eye on him.

When Jiang Yan Hai saw activity at He Chen Guang's sniper position through his Sniper Scope, he knew they had probably already fired. But the two had suppressors installed, so Jiang Yan Hai could not hear anything from here.

Still, the tanks had stopped—that much was certain.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Yan Hai saw the two men quickly begin moving at their sniper position. After packing up, they roughly tidied the position, then rapidly withdrew.

Jiang Yan Hai immediately took a deep breath. Before long, Fan Tian Lei would probably arrive.

He waited quietly in place. Jiang Yan Hai's camouflage could be said to surpass even that of the Special Forces. With the assistance of the Coffin Board Skill and the Camouflage Skill, his concealment was so complete that even if someone were nearby, they would likely find it difficult to spot him.

Only about ten minutes passed before the sound of a helicopter came from above Jiang Yan Hai's head. There was no need to look up to know that it was definitely a thirteen-ton Zhi-8B Transport Helicopter, because the sound of an Attack Helicopter was somewhat different.

Besides, an Attack Helicopter would not be flying this slowly.
