Sniping and Wind Speed
"Go to sleep early," Qing Chen said to Nan Gengchen. "We still have a lot to do during these two return visits."
Nan Gengchen asked curiously, "Brother Chen, what are you going to do?"
"Let's try out an idea in our minds," Qing Chen said after thinking for a moment. "If I succeed, it means we will be more confident in facing the world."
After saying that, Qing Chen did not go back to his house, but instead opened the door and went to the neighbor's house.
The house where Yang Yang used to live.
Nan Gengchen was a little surprised to be alone in the room. He thought to himself, "Didn't Yang Yang leave? Why is Brother Chen going to that room? Is he thinking of her?"
Little did he know that the room also contained Yang Yang's gravity chamber and mail delivery address.
In the narrow, dimly lit room, Qing Chen took off his coat and shoes and walked into the gravity chamber, picking up a letter from beside his pillow.
Because he was so close to the pillow, Qing Chen could even smell its faint fragrance.
It's not strong; it smells more like a refreshing pomegranate scent from some kind of soap.
Qing Chen opened the letter and saw that it read: You should have already realized how rare the gene serum is. What you need, I can give you.
"As expected," Qing Chen hadn't seen this letter before his last transmigration, but now he had it, which meant it was sent after their recent chat...
Huan Yu had already realized that Ice Eye was Liu Dezhu's boss.
Therefore, after Ice Eye launched its counterattack, the other party immediately began to retaliate against 'Boss Liu Dezhu'.
There are only a few ways to retaliate: undermine others, plant spies, and then launch a lethal attack.
Who are the members of Liu Dezhu's organization? On the surface, they are Qing Chen, Liu Dezhu, Nan Gengchen, Yang Yang, and a mysterious boss. In the shadows, there are Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen, Jiang Xue, Li Tongyun.
So who can Huan Yu recruit? Nan Gengchen lacks combat power and has powerful figures from the Inner World like Li Yinuo by his side. It seems that the most suitable person to recruit is the helpless "gene warrior Qing Chen".
Qing Chen had already proven his fighting prowess on Laojun Mountain, and even He Jinqiu personally came to Luocheng to invite him to join Jiuzhou. How could that mysterious holder of the Demon Stamp not be tempted?
He thought for a moment, then finally cut his finger, dripped blood onto the letter paper, and wrote, "I can find a way to obtain the gene serum myself."
Qing Chen slowly burned the letter.
Soon, a new letter appeared on Yang Yang's pillow.
Qing Chen unfolded the letter, and the other party replied: Since you replied to this letter, it means that you are already interested, because you know that the conglomerate would never put the 002 and 001 sequences into the market.
At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly realized that this Huan Yu might not know his identity as a black boxer, nor that he had become a favorite of Li Changqing.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't have said such things to me.
In the Inner World, the FDE-001 gene serum quota, which even Li Yinuo might not be able to obtain, was actually within Qing Chen's grasp, but he simply didn't need it and planned to leave it for someone else.
Qing Chen has already made a name for himself in the underground boxing world, but this is ultimately something that can't be brought to the forefront. It doesn't even qualify as a legitimate competition, and the federal media is openly prohibited from reporting on it, so his fame isn't as great as one might imagine.
Qing Chen replied, "Why did you give me the gene serum?"
Huan Yu replied, "No rush, do me a favor first as a Pledge of Allegiance."
Qing Chen replied, "I won't do anything that goes against my basic moral principles, no matter what you need me to do."
Huan Yu replied, "Don't worry, I'll contact you again."
Qing Chen did not reply to the letter again, but instead decisively began to cultivate in the gravity chamber.
It has been a week since Yang Yang left, but the force field in the gravity chamber has not changed significantly.
The girl had previously said she would return before the gravity chamber disappeared, but it seems she won't be back anytime soon.
Qing Chen muttered to himself, "Did they know they would get lost, so they allowed more time?"
After practicing until 3 a. m., Qing Chen returned home.
He carefully reviewed his Memory Palace according to his daily bedtime routine.
The so-called Memory Palace is a memory technique used to categorize and classify one's memories so that one can find and utilize them.
Open each door of the Memory Palace, and inside are memories he has organized.
It is not something that actually exists.
However, just as Qing Chen was searching the palace, he was shocked to find that there was an extra door inside the magnificent palace that he had already built!
"That's strange," Qing Chen's consciousness entered the door, only to find himself back in that mysterious world.
Forbidden Item ACE-011: A world Conquer by Virtue!
Qing Chen looked at the familiar wilderness, where even the marks he had left while crawling on the ground were still there.
Meanwhile, the pitch-black Conquer by Virtue, with its 1.4-meter-long anti-material sniper rifle, lay quietly on the ground.
"So, the technique of Conquer by Virtue, stored within the body, is located here," Qing Chen said thoughtfully. "And this place is a natural shooting range!"
He is now a new master Conquer by Virtue. With a thought, the gray sky suddenly cleared up and was no longer covered by dark clouds.
A warm breeze swept across the open field, as if spring had arrived.
Qing Chen another thought, tens of thousands of trees sprang up from the previously empty wilderness around him, transforming this world into a giant tropical rainforest.
"This is a real simulated firing range," Qing Chen exclaimed.
He only fully experienced the magic of Forbidden Item at this moment!
He looked at the black sniper rifle. The last time he took in Conquer by Virtue, this mysterious world used a standard model for him. This time, however, he was directly allowed to use Conquer by Virtue for training.
Qing Chen wondered if this meant he wouldn't need to go to the Li family's sniper range anymore, and that he could practice indefinitely in this mysterious world.
It's important to know that the recoil of an anti-materiel sniper rifle is terrifying. If you were training in the real world, the noise would attract attention, and your shoulder wouldn't be able to withstand many shots.
However, things are different here. No matter how hard he tries to withstand the recoil, once he leaves this mysterious world, it won't have any effect on his body.
Moreover, he won't let anyone know the trump card he has in his hand!
After a moment's thought, Qing Chen did not rush to try the 1600-meter target again, nor did he even fire a shot. Instead, he summoned the coin that served as the target, which appeared one meter away from him.
The coin appears, then disappears.
When the coin reappeared, it was 2 meters away from Qing Chen.
He kept increasing the distance between himself and the coin until the effective range of the Conquer by Virtue reached 2600 meters before stopping.
Then, he changed to four different terrains: mountains, desert, wilderness, and jungle, constantly testing the data until he could tell how many meters away he was from the coin just by looking at its location!
If it were any other newbie who had just gotten their hands on a sniper rifle, they probably would have already been unable to resist firing one for fun.
But Qing Chen was unusually restrained, more restrained than a teenager.
For a sniper, knowing the distance between himself and the target is crucial because the bullet travels through the air for a long time, during which the target will move and change.
Therefore, a sniper who wants to shoot at extremely long distances must first know how far away he is from the target and how long it will take for the bullet to arrive.
Typically, a sniper is paired with an observer whose main responsibility is to use specialized instruments to measure distance, wind speed, and air humidity, providing the sniper with various parameters.
However, Qing Chen was a lone wolf, and he firmly believed that on the battlefield, only by going it alone could a superhuman be most efficient.
Nan Gengchen could be his observer, but he was too weak to keep up with Nan Gengchen's pace as he moved his firing positions.
Liu Dezhu can keep up, but he needs Liu Dezhu to fight, not to be an observer.
The next moment, Qing Chen gently lay prone on the ground. With a thought, he made the coin appear 400 meters away, and then pulled the trigger of the Black Sniper rifle.
With a loud bang, the coin was sent flying.
The next second, a coin appeared again at a distance of 400 meters, exactly the same as before.
However, the wind in this mysterious world gradually picked up.
At first, there was a gentle breeze, which only caused the grass to sway slightly.
Then came a fierce wind, so strong it seemed it could even topple large trees.
Qing Chen fired mechanically, shot after shot, but all the data was summarized and analyzed in his mind.
He discovered that when the wind speed exceeded level 7, even with a range of only 400 meters, the trajectory would deviate slightly.
By level 8, Qing Chen even needed to use his left hand to find a fixed object to keep his body still and his crosshair from deviating.
Amidst the gale-force winds, Qing Chen pulled the trigger again and again.
At one point, after pulling the trigger more than a hundred times, Qing Chen suddenly felt something.
He began to regulate his breathing in the mysterious world, and pulled the trigger again!
But the bullet flew through the air at high speed and landed steadily on the coin 400 meters away!
"Finally, I've got all the wind speeds over this distance," Qing Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't try any more wind speeds above level 8, because there was no need.
When the wind speed reaches level 9, even wooden houses on the ground can be destroyed.
When the wind speed reaches level 10, even large trees can be uprooted.
You'll rarely encounter wind speeds higher than that on land.
Qing Chen didn't need to imagine such an extreme environment for himself. If he were in that kind of wind speed, he wouldn't need to think about sniping or not. It would be a miracle if he wasn't blown away.
After testing the 400-meter target, Qing Chen began trying the 450-meter target, gradually moving the distance of the coin backward.
The wind speed, on the other hand, cycles from level 1 to level 8.
Qing Chen didn't know how much time had passed; he was simply building a solid foundation for himself, little by little.
Just like when he was learning martial arts, he tried to remember all the changes through his own efforts.
According to Qing Chen's rough estimate, it would probably take him seven days just to familiarize himself with the trajectory of the ballistic missiles at distances of 1-2600 meters and wind speeds of 1-8.
This is data that must be accumulated over time.
However, Qing Chen didn't find it boring at all; on the contrary, he remained very interested.
He enjoyed the feeling of being completely immersed in the training ground, where the complex world became a single training ground where he only needed to keep shooting and make up for his weaknesses.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, it's time to go to school," Nan Gengchen's voice rang out in the mysterious world.
Qing Chen opened his eyes, gently rubbed his shoulders, and finally felt relieved after confirming that the training in the mysterious world would not affect his real body.
I glanced at the time; the countdown was 160:30:00.
At 7:30 in the morning, Qing Chen felt as if time had stood still in the mountains, and time had slipped away without him even realizing it.
He didn't sleep all night, but he wasn't sleepy at all.
It was more like a deep sleep.
The surprise that "Conquer by Virtue" brought to Qing Chen far exceeded his expectations.
"Yi, are you there?" Qing Chen asked from inside the bedroom, but Yi did not respond.
Qing Chen was somewhat disappointed. He had wanted to ask his friend if other Forbidden Item were hidden beneath the other prisons as well...
Although he was told it was gone, he wasn't entirely convinced...
It seems that Yi has slipped out to play.
Hopefully, she won't cause any trouble.
Liu Dezhu's home in Xinglong Residential Area, Luocheng.
Liu Youcai got up early in the morning and prepared a sumptuous breakfast for his son, as if he was afraid that Liu Dezhu would not have enough to eat.
"My child, you've suffered so much," Liu Youcai said with heartache. "Once you go to the Inner World, you'll have to go to prison. The food in prison must be terrible."
Liu Dezhu thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I've been transferred to another prison. I'm now in Prison No. 10."
Liu Youcai looked worried. He didn't know the difference between Prison No. 10 and Prison No. 18.
Liu Dezhu explained, "Prison No. 10 is a place where the federal government specifically detains important figures, so the food is very good. From now on, you and Mom won't have to wait for me to come back in the middle of the night to make me a midnight snack."
He didn't mention that he had been released from prison.
Qing Chen had specifically instructed him not to spread this matter.
Although the real culprit who shifted the blame to Liu Dezhu has been brought to justice, releasing him prematurely violates the proper judicial process, and if the outside world finds out, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, it would be easier for him to move around if everyone thought he was still in prison.
Just then, the roar of sports car engines suddenly came from downstairs, and there was more than one.
Liu Dezhu frowned. Where did all these supercars come from in the neighborhood so early in the morning?
But the next second he opened his mouth wide, realizing what had happened.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on Liu Dezhu's door. A group of people were chattering noisily outside, seemingly very excited.
Liu Dezhu put down the beef bun in his hand and hesitated before going to open the door.
Outside the door, the group of spoiled brats from Class 4, Grade 2 Luocheng Foreign Language School excitedly greeted Liu Dezhu, saying, "Brother Liu, I have some good news for you."
Liu Dezhu was silent for a moment. "What good news?"
The spoiled brat chuckled and pointed behind him, "Seventeen of us, after consulting with lawyers from the Inner World, carried out a precise crime. We even used gold bars brought from the Outer World to bribe a detective in the PCE Security Committee. In a while, we'll be able to come find you at Prison No. 10!"
Both chapters today are 4000 words each, not bonus chapters.
I started trying to increase the number of daily updates, but of course, this depends entirely on my condition.
Thank you, Xiao Dinghai, for becoming a new ally of this book. The boss is so generous; the boss doesn't step in puddles on rainy days!
