Fatal Shot - Chapter 568

Chapter 568: Familiar Competition

“This person must be… Miss Phoenix.” After greeting Feng Luo, Red Queen scanned the area, missing Digital Cat who was still concentrating on hacking the system and instead stared at Phoenix.

On the surface, there was an interesting scene.

Two women, although they had different occupations, their appearance were similar. But their temperaments were also somewhat different: one was as charming and tempting as a poppy while the other was as elegant as a peony.

They were all wearing red, a red so deep it was like fire.

“Miss Phoenix, it is nice to meet you. When I saw you, it made me think of an acquaintance.” Red Queen suddenly opened her mouth after staring at Phoenix for a moment.

Neutron Star and White Crescent’s expressions did not change much, but Glazed Ice and Black Panther seemed a little surprised as they gave a look at Red Queen.

“Is it? Maybe it’s because we all like red.” Phoenix’s face was carrying a smile while answering, but her expression remained as dull.

“Phoenix, the name of this equipment… Hey, this big man is actually…” That tall female scout player, at the moment when Big Pineapple moved his body, swept the room with her sights.

As she looked past the “Phoenix Armor” on Phoenix, and Arnold who was standing behind Digital Cat, but she suddenly looked very surprised, as she blurted a soft “eh?” as if she saw something interesting.

Perhaps the other people’s senses were not as sensitive or did not even notice her.

However, because he only did not recognize this person, Feng Luo was paying special attention to this female scout. Thus, he could see the change in her expression and even “saw” what she was saying.

Arnold’s artificial skin, something Lin redeemed with authority from the Secret Service’s arsenal, looked no different from any player for any player without using reconnaissance.

However, for this female scout, it seemed that at first glance she could see that Arnold was not a real person.

“His name is Arnold and, well, he doesn’t like to talk very much.” Feng opened his mouth to specially make this statement.

“Oh, is that so?” The tall female scout’s face carried a look that was unrecognizable whether it was laughing or not, as the sides of her mouth were slightly lifted.

“Sure, those who can get Red Queen’s attention are not ordinary players. This woman must have a talent or skill which is comparable to that of an investigator.” Feng’s expression did not change, as he spoke to himself internally.

“Hey, look at the deck, what seems to be so exciting?” Both sides met in the room and got to know each other.

In the corridor, Neutron Star suddenly gave a slight cry, because they were in a special position, and it was easy to see the situation on the deck.

“A few sniper players are trying to compete, Y is also preparing to participate.” Glazed Ice, who seemed to be able to obtain information from anywhere, said. “And, Invikill seems to be there.”

“Invikill, the first player to awaken the Life Force?” The tall female scout player, after hearing this, showed some interest in her face as she looked down on the deck.

When the female scout player spoke, Big Pineapple and Phoenix could not help but look at Feng Luo.

This act was noticed by Red Queen who seemed to recall something, as she looked to be pondering about it.

“Hey, the way they are competing is not very creative or new, it reminds me of the last time we went out to sea together, Black Panther and Feng, you were competing as well. Is it because you guys are snipers that you have this habit?” Neutron Star had the best view, as he suddenly laughed.

It was actually due to the few snipers on the deck who were raising their sniper rifles and aiming at the sea vultures in the sky.

As a kind of flying creature that likes to follow ships at sea to wait for the ship to capsize and then eat the corpses, these sea vultures had always been extremely bold and at the moment, above the warship, there were at least a hundred sea vultures hovering in the sky.

“Bang, bang…”

On the lower deck, a succession of sniper shots rang out.

Armor-piercing bullets broke through the sky, hitting sea vultures that were unable to dodge and killing them, many even exploded instantaneously in the sky.

Compared to Feng Luo’s competition at that time, their level and equipment were not high. The players currently on this ship were masters with high-level equipment, and almost all of their sniper rifles were rare equipment. Upon hitting those sea vultures in the sky, which were not above level 25, it got a result of an instant kill.

“Kwa, quack…”

The sea vultures in the sky were making sounds of panic.

The bloodthirsty nature and their low-level AI did not let them choose to escape but instead continued hovering over the back of the warship.

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

Sea vultures fell from the sky after being shot, one after the other.

Because the warships were traveling at full speed, coupled with the impact of the bullets, most of these sea vultures fell into the sea behind the back of the cruise, and turned the sea red after some time.

“Y God killed one, Invikill headshot one, Old Cow killed another…”

Because landing a shot would result in an instant kill, hence this competition would see who was able to hit more sea vultures compared to the rest. It was not like Feng Luo’s initial test to score according to the number of vital points hit, to see their capabilities.

Despite this, those snipers on the deck who were participating in the competition had decent sniping skills.

At the very least, under the conditions of a moving warship, all of them were able to maintain a hit rate above half.

And for “Y God” who Feng Luo met in the 5v5 battle against the Nine-Star Guild had shot a total of 8 shots where only 2 missed, his capabilities were great.

As for that Invikill, one must say that although he was hyped up by the Nine-Star Guild for being the “first to awaken the Force,” he had his own abilities as well, landing 8 shots out of 10.

This figure was even better than what Feng Luo and the Black Panther got during their competition.

Of course, this was partly due to the upgrades in the player’s equipment and their levels and some increase in their skill levels.

Most importantly, this stability on a high-tech warship, compared to the medium-sized warship they sat on before, was a lot stronger.

“Invikill, holy cow, that shot is accurate!”

“Old Y, I really can’t tell, your skills are well-baked!”

“Well, don’t compliment me, I am relying on luck… I almost missed it entirely.”

On the deck, when the results of the test were revealed, you either praise others or act humble yourselves.

The participants in the trial were almost all the guild’s players, their interactions between one another were very genuine.

“Click!”

In the room, Black Panther suddenly reached out to remove a sniper gun from his backpack and assembled it quickly. The gun looked a bit like Barrett, but it was dark gray and was slightly longer in length.

He walked a few steps forward and stretched his body, followed by holding the sniper gun out and aimed at the sea vultures in the sky.

One second, two seconds…

“Bang!”

After about ten seconds, Black Panther chose to shoot.

After this shot, the two Level 25 sea vultures, which were circling in the sky after being frightened by the attacks from the snipers, were coincidentally stacked up together and pierced through by the 12.7MM armor-piercing projectile. One of them impacted the neck of the vulture in front and exploded the stomach of the sea vulture behind.

“Nice!”

“Holy cow!”

“Awesome!”

…

After one shot, there was a burst of cheers on the deck below. Many people also turned their heads and looked in their direction.

“After the last time, I spent a while in the arena to choose the sea boat environment for the last time. Now, when I find the right time, in 10 shots, I should be able to succeed in 5.” Black Panther did not bother with the cheers from the crowds below, he only turned and looked at Feng Luo.

“Well, that’s great.” Feng Luo’s eyebrows raised. He was admiring Black Panther’s attitude internally.

After a defeat, he could insist on continuous training, the will of climbing back up from wherever he fell, that was definitely the psychological state of a strong-willed person.

However, it has to be said that about the way Black Panther practiced sniping on the boat, Feng Luo was not very approving.

This type of onboard shooting exercise was not too meaningful. After all, the player was still fighting on land in most cases. Instead of this type of practice, they should spend time on other types of practices instead.

However, Feng Luo was sure about Black Panther’s mentality, it was definitely due to losing him twice consecutively that he needed to let loose once.

Worse still, the meaning behind that one shot made it clear that he wanted to compete with him again. Plus, the difficulty of the next competition would be a lot higher than the previous, where they would go for “one-shot two kills.”

However, Feng Luo was not really interested.

With him, awakening the Force, his real body, including the brain, was equally “evolved” as super-computing power.

To be honest, he would probably only miss once or twice in ten shots even if he did not make all of them if he just had enough time for preparation.

In contrast to that, Black Panther could only guarantee a success rate of about 50% even after an extensive period of time in the arena.

In this sense, such a competition was like bullying kids. Feng Luo was not interested in it at all. However, seeing Black Panther’s stern expression, he did not know how to avoid this encounter.

“What’s the matter?” Fortunately, before he had time to speak.

The tall female scout player of the stature was suddenly stunned, with a soft questioning sound, staring at the corpses of the sea vultures that had fallen into the water.

“Well?” Almost at the same time, as Feng Luo swept the grey and dull sea with his sights, and with the visual perception after multiple upgrades, he also noticed that the situation was not right.
