Headshot

Bullets struck the collapsed wall and rotting wood.

Bricks shattered at once, and splinters flew everywhere.

The moment he fired, Qin Ran had already dived sideways and rolled away from his original position.

Qin Ran was grateful for Colin's instruction. Without [Dodge], he would have been pinned behind that collapsed wall by the barrage of gunfire.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The gunfire continued.

Clearly, Qin Ran's earlier shot had turned the other side into startled birds. They wanted nothing more than to shoot him dead through the wall.

Leaving aside whether the M1905's bullets could penetrate a concrete wall, even if they could, Qin Ran had long since left his original position. They were destined to be disappointed.

Huff!

Leaning against the wall, Qin Ran took a deep breath. He gripped the M1905 in his hand and waited for an opportunity.

That earlier shot had not been the opportunity Qin Ran needed.

In fact, if the other side had not noticed something was wrong, Qin Ran would have continued using the combination of [Stealth] and [Cold Weapons (Dagger)] to pick off the remaining targets. He would never have fired his gun.

Just as Qin Ran had expected.

His marksmanship was poor!

Even from less than ten meters away, he could not accurately hit a target's vital areas.

[Shooting: Dealt 50 HP damage to opponent. Opponent possesses protective gear, negating 45 damage. Actual damage dealt: 5...]

Looking at the battle record, Qin Ran could only shake his head.

If he had hit the opponent's head, which was not protected by a bulletproof vest, the opponent would already be dead.

Rather than, as things stood now, leaving two enemies alive!

But likewise, Qin Ran's side also had two people!

Bang!

A sudden gunshot rang out amid the continuous firing, piercingly sharp.

"Ah! My leg! My leg!"

The armed thug's scream that followed was even clearer.

Colin!

Colin, who had been hiding and watching the entire battlefield since the battle began, had made her move.

According to the plan Qin Ran and Colin had devised, Qin Ran was the main attacker. Only when Qin Ran was surrounded or suppressed by enemy fire would she act, creating an opportunity for him to escape or counterattack.

Everything happening before them proved that Colin had done very well.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran raised the M1905 in the shadows!

Bang, bang!

Two shots in quick succession.

Although Colin had created an opportunity for him, the result was not very good.

The first shot still hit an area covered by the opponent's bulletproof vest, while the second shot missed completely.

"Damn!"

Qin Ran cursed inwardly and quickly moved again.

Because he had already seen the armed thug he had aimed at, but missed with his second shot, raising his gun.

"Rookie! A rookie with a gun! Hahaha!"

"Jackal" Hook could not help but let out a vicious laugh.

At first, his subordinates had died without a sound, which had truly frightened him. He thought he had encountered someone dangerous and had even begun to panic.

Then, a shot out of the blue struck down one of his remaining subordinates, making that panic grow even stronger.

Until it finally turned into despair!

"Jackal" Hook had begun to believe from the bottom of his heart that he was going to die.

So when faced with another attack, "Jackal" Hook had stood there stupidly, waiting for death!

But after the guy before him fired two shots, "Jackal" Hook relaxed.

What kind of dangerous man was this guy? He was just a rookie!

At least, a rookie with a gun!

From less than ten meters away,

he could even miss a completely stationary target. If that did not make him a rookie, what did?

As long as he did not let the other side get close, he could utterly crush him!

Simply put, if he used this guy as his breakthrough point, he would not have to die!

As for the other shooter?

Looking at the subordinate beside him clutching his calf, "Jackal" Hook wisely chose not to make her his opponent. With a rookie as his breakthrough point, he would be an idiot not to choose him.

"Jackal" Hook carefully avoided Colin's firing angle and shouted at his still-groaning subordinate, "Go, lure out that guy in front!"

As he spoke, he aimed his gun at the injured subordinate.

"Boss, you can't do this!"

The armed thug growled, then raised his own gun as well.

But that only made "Jackal" Hook sneer.

"Do you have any bullets left in your gun?"

Hook asked coldly.

The armed thug froze.

The armed thug had fallen into a panic earlier. After being attacked, he had completely lost his head and fired wildly without caring whether he could see his target.

Therefore, he had not counted how much ammunition he had used.

Sweat seeped from the armed thug's forehead, but he did not intend to become bait just like that.

"Boss, you're out of bullets too, aren't you?"

The armed thug said with a forced smile.

"It seems you still don't understand why I'm the leader, while you're merely one of the boss's ordinary subordinates!"

As Hook spoke, he pulled a magazine full of bullets from a pocket at his side. "See this? Every time I come out, Boss Vulture specially prepares two extra magazines for me... precisely to deal with sudden situations like this! Hurry up! Otherwise, I don't mind dealing with you myself!"

Hook impatiently raised his gun again.

The armed thug believed that if he refused to go out, Hook would definitely fire.

The other's ruthless viciousness had long been deeply ingrained in everyone's mind.

After hesitating for a moment, the armed thug ultimately chose to compromise.

After all, if he went out, he might not die with the opposing shooter's rookie skill. But if he stayed here, he was definitely dead!

After all, Hook had become Vulture's right-hand man because his decent marksmanship carried considerable weight.

Gritting his teeth, the armed thug crawled out from behind cover.

In the shadows, Qin Ran watched the scene before him and understood the other's plan almost instantly.

The other's undisguised voice earlier, along with that blurted-out assessment of "rookie," had reached Qin Ran's ears clearly.

Qin Ran could fully imagine that the moment he raised his gun to fire again, the unharmed armed thug would rush out and shoot at him, the rookie shooter.

And he had only two choices.

First, dodge!

Second, fight the other side head-on!

If he chose the former, the other side would very likely escape!

And if he chose the latter?

Judging from the marksmanship he had displayed earlier,

he would undoubtedly die!

But Qin Ran still chose the latter.

If this had been reality, Qin Ran would never have chosen the latter!

But this was a game!

No matter how realistic this game was, a game was still a game. Some settings would not change simply because the game was realistic!

For example, the "benefits" given to players by the Beginner Instance!

In the Beginner Instance, as long as an action was effectively triggered three times, one could obtain the corresponding skill!

Qin Ran had made this guess earlier.

And he had been extremely confident in it!

Now, he had already made two effective attacks with a firearm.

He only needed one more to obtain the corresponding skill!

When that happened, he would definitely win a shooting battle against the other side.

Qin Ran had that confidence!

Because although the other side had shown familiarity with firearms, that familiarity could not possibly have reached the level of a game skill!

Otherwise, he would have already died under the other's earlier gunfire!

Huff!

After taking a deep breath and adjusting his condition, Qin Ran raised the M1905. He narrowed his eyes and aimed at the crawling armed thug.

Bang!

The gun fired.

The bullet slammed hard into the other's bulletproof vest, and the impact sent the crawling man rolling away.

Seeing this, "Jackal" Hook stood up from behind cover. His gun was aimed at Qin Ran, standing in the shadows, while Qin Ran did not Dodge. His M1905 was aimed at "Jackal" Hook at the same time.

Seeing this, "Jackal" Hook was almost delighted enough to laugh aloud.

Everything was even easier than he had imagined!

The other side was far more foolish than he had imagined!

In "Jackal" Hook's original plan, the other side would definitely retreat behind cover upon discovering him. He had not expected the other side to actually intend to fight him head-on!

"He's clearly just a rookie shooter, yet he dares to compete with me in marksmanship!"

At once, "Jackal" Hook grinned viciously.

"Jackal" Hook had originally only planned to escape, but he did not mind taking Qin Ran's life along the way.

After all, the subordinates he had brought out had been nearly wiped out. If he had no explanation, he would not be able to answer to Vulture once he returned to the Lair.

Thinking of Vulture's harsh methods, "Jackal" Hook could not help but shudder.

In fact, after escaping, "Jackal" Hook had already planned to head straight for another area and stay far away from Vulture!

With the firearm in his hands, even if he could not live as comfortably as he had in the Lair, he could still tough it out.

But who would have thought Qin Ran would practically run into his gun barrel?

"Once I kill one of them, even if Boss Vulture gets angry, he won't blame me too much!"

Thinking of this, "Jackal" Hook's heart burned. If possible, he absolutely did not want to leave that wonderful place, the Lair.

"Die!"

"Jackal" Hook's finger was about to pull the trigger.

Bang!

But Qin Ran pulled the trigger first.

He's just a rookie shooter!

"Jackal" Hook was startled, but he immediately comforted himself with that thought.

Then, "Jackal" Hook knew nothing more.

Because his head burst apart like an exploding watermelon.
