Chapter 8: Marksmanship and Accuracy

Ran Jing could smell the friction intensifying between the two. She felt that since they all came from the same job, there was no need to make things difficult for each other so she tried to step in. All of you shut up.

Li Dazhuang turned around and looked at her. I said that I will protect you. You can reject me from becoming your boyfriend, but you cant reject the things Im willing to do for you.

Ran Jing didnt know what to say anymore.

Li Dazhuang then looked at Xu Cheng. You are definitely weaker than me in strength. In combat, you little regional police probably cant beat me too, as well as any other professional skills. So, to prevent you from finding an excuse for your defeat, lets compete in a basic skill that both of us are experienced in.

Xu Cheng, What is it?

Li Dazhuang then said, enunciating each word, Gun assembly.

He then took out his pistol from his holster and said, As a police officer, knowing how to assemble their gun is a basic skill that everyone must learn. The gun is a part of us, and we are going to compete on who knows their gun better.

Then, it became awkward for Xu Cheng because he didnt get his gun and firearm license yet

I dont have one, Xu Cheng said frankly.

Then theres no need to compete, Ran Jing intervened. He rarely carries a gun, his proficiency is definitely not higher than a SWAT member like yourself. The competition is pointless.

Then, Ran Jing was about to pull Xu Cheng to leave.

Li Dazhuang knew that he couldnt go against Ran Jings words, but he still couldnt help but mock Xu Cheng more with disdain. Then I guess you wont compete with me anymore and just hide behind a woman. Ran Jing, if you like a man like this, then I have nothing to say too. Hes completely useless; no wonder hes just a regional police officer. Hes completely not on the same level as us.

Ran Jing frowned. Li Dazhuang, dont be an asshole, we are all police officers. Whats the difference?

Xu Cheng didnt want to deal with trouble, but that didnt mean he wouldnt fight back when someone was humiliating him to this degree, or he wouldnt be the same Xu Cheng that stirred up a storm in the army. Although that damn genetic fluid caused his comprehensive strength to drop, his C-class power was more than enough to handle a D-class officer like Li Dazhuang.

Xu Cheng completely turned around and arrived a few inches away from Li Dazhuangs face. Both of them were pretty tall, about even in height. Xu Cheng, completely unfazed by the close bull-like encounter, said, I have always wanted to see what special police units are like. Propose whatever you want, whoever doesnt have the balls to play is a py!

Li Dazhuang got even closer to Xu Chengs face and sneered, Come with me.

Xu Cheng, dont be impulsive SWAT units are different from us in nature, said Ran Jing.

Xu Cheng directly ignored her and followed Li Dazhuang into the practice field inside their Criminal Investigation Department building. Inside there, all kinds of training equipment were present, including a boxing stage and a shooting range.

The two came to a desk. Li Dazhuang took one of his colleagues pistols and slid it to Xu Cheng, and the two began disassembling the guns. Then, Li Dazhuang said, When I say start, lets see who can assemble their gun quicker and then turn around to empty the clip at the target at 30 meters. This way, we are not only competing gun assembling but also marksmanship.

Ran Jing complained, Its not fair. Li Dazhuang, you are on the SWAT team, you have the conditions that allow you to regularly practice these exercises. Xu Cheng doesnt have such an advantage.

He was the one that said whoever doesnt play is a py, Li Dazhuang looked at Xu Cheng and sneered.

Xu Cheng looked at him and said indifferently, If I lose, do you just want me to apologize to Ran Jing?

Li Dazhuang sneered, Oh no, I also want you to stay away from her.

Xu Cheng asked, Then what happens if you lose?

Li Dazhuang said with disdain, Do you think I will lose? Do you want to go around the department and ask about my capabilities?

Xu Cheng repeated, So what happens if you lose?

Li Dazhuang mercilessly said, If I lose, then I will f*cking call you daddy.

Xu Cheng slightly smiled. Then lets get started?

The two colleagues beside Li Dazhuang began counting down, 3 2 1!

The moment that 1 came out, Xu Cheng picked up the handful of parts with both hands, while Li Dazhuang began by picking up a part with each hand. It took Li Dazhuang 2 seconds to finish putting in the ballistic tube. On the other hand, Xu Chengs overall movements werent much faster, but what was freakishly terrifying about him was that he could pick up at least three parts at once and finish assembling them perfectly in one step, while also only taking 2 seconds. That meant, within the same amount of time, he was at least 3 steps ahead of Li Dazhuang.

Upon seeing this, Li Dazhuangs pupils greatly magnified, and subconsciously, his hands began moving faster as well. But unfortunately, his mind clearly couldnt keep up with his hand movements so there were jamming noises.

And with the next sweep of his hand, Xu Cheng took the last three parts and successfully finished putting together the gun. 6 bullets were smoothly pushed into the magazine and with a ka sound, he popped the clip in. With a quick racking of the pistol slide, he raised it towards the target 30 meters away and emptied the mag! All shot with one hand!

Not to comment on his accuracy, just his streamlined steps of assembling a gun was efficient to the point of not wasting a single second. Li Dazhuang had just finished and began shooting after Xu Cheng had shot all 6 bullets.

After firing the 6 bullets, Li Dazhuangs face was already burning from the face-slaps. Not to mention the results on the target, he had lost on the assembling step. He was not even close, completely stomped by Xu Chengs speed and expertise.

His expression became very unnatural, only praying that he could save some of his dignity with the accuracy of his shots.

When he looked towards Xu Cheng, he saw that guy was already smoking while sitting down by a table.

Ran Jing ran and retrieved the targets, and then she jogged back.

Li Dazhuang, wanting to save some face, said, You do have some skill when it comes to gun assembly. But I caught a glimpse of your shooting, and I couldnt help but laugh. The recoil per round would naturally affect the accuracy, so generally, its better to hold the gun with two hands at shoulder level to improve hit rate. I saw that you took 6 shots with one hand, clearly, you were trying to show off after watching too many movies.

Xu Cheng didnt say anything but just quietly smoked his cigarette.

And Ran Jing, with the target in her hand, awkwardly looked at Li Danzhuang. It seemed like she didnt have the heart to announce the result.

Dont you know my capabilities? Just announce the result, Li Dazhuang said casually.

Ran Jing raised Li Dazhuangs target and said, You got one hit in the center 5-point red zone, 3 on the 3-point blue zone, and 2 on the 2-point green zone, with a total of 18 points.

The target itself was only a round disc 20 centimeters in diameter. Shooting at something this size, not to mention hitting the red zone, one would already be amazing enough if he or she could hit the target from 30 meters away, relying purely on iron sights. So, this result was worthy of showing off for Li Dazhuang because it was the equivalence of being able to headshot someone 6 times from 30 meters away, as that target was just about the size of an adults head.
