"Report!"
After Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian left, Wang Rui entered an office.
A middle-aged man looked up from his desk. "Wang Rui, how is Mr. Lin progressing? Do you think you can teach him everything in a month?"
"Team Leader Lü," Wang Rui replied, "has Mr. Lin ever served in the military?"
The man shook his head. "No. Why do you ask?"
Wang Rui frowned slightly. "Team Leader Lü, I need to report something. Mr. Lin's marksmanship is exceptional. He's even better than me!"
"Is there any problem with his identity?"
The man shook his head. "Of course not. Are you sure his marksmanship surpasses yours?"
"Absolutely!"
"However, Mr. Lin said he'll be back to practice more. He wants to continue honing his skills."
"If his identity is secure, there's no need to worry," the man said. "Let him practice for a few days. Consider it a break."
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Rui turned and left.
The man dialed Tianlang's number. "Tianlang, Mr. Lin's marksmanship is on par with the military's best sharpshooters. You can give him the rifle now."
"That strong?" Tianlang said in surprise. "Lao Lü, I'll leave it to you."
The middle-aged man replied, "Mr. Lin has excellent marksmanship, but he'll be coming back. When he does, you'll have to cover the cost of the bullets he fires."
"What's a few bullets? You're being too stingy. Lao Lü, Mr. Lin isn't ordinary. Befriending him will benefit you in the future." Tianlang said irritably. "I'm only letting him train at your place out of respect for our friendship."
"If you won't even treat me to a meal, you expect me to cover the costs? I'll just arrange for Mr. Lin to train elsewhere then."
The middle-aged man looked surprised. "Who exactly is Mr. Lin?"
"Don't ask."
"Just know that he's very important," Tianlang said.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian returned. Though a girl, Lin Xiaoqian was quite interested in firearms.
"Mr. Lin, I'm the manager here. Feel free to ask for anything you need. I used to lead a special forces team, so call me Team Leader Lü," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
His name was Lü Chaoping. He had served in an elite front-line unit before being wounded and transferred to manage this shooting range.
"Alright, thank you, Team Leader Lü," Lin Chen said.
Lü Chaoping followed them to the shooting range.
"Qianqian, this is for you," Wang Rui said, handing Lin Xiaoqian a wooden pistol he had carved himself.
His craftsmanship was impressive; the wooden pistol was beautifully carved.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang," Lin Xiaoqian said in her sweet, childish voice.
"Thank you," Lin Chen added.
Wang Rui waved his hand. "No need to thank me. My daughter loves these. I've carved quite a few, and this one is among the best. Seeing Qianqian reminds me of my own daughter."
Lin Chen said, "Wang Rui, why don't you take some time off? I don't need you to teach me anything here. I just want to have some fun. You should go home and spend time with your wife and kids."
Surprise flashed in Wang Rui's eyes. He glanced at Lü Chaoping, who nodded. "If Mr. Lin's shooting skills are as good as he says, feel free to go home and see your family."
Wang Rui nodded gratefully, his face lighting up.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Lin Chen fired quickly, his shots both rapid and accurate.
Surprise flickered in Lü Chaoping's eyes. He had once been a sharpshooter himself, but even then, his marksmanship hadn't matched Lin Chen's. Now, with his injury, the gap was even wider.
"Wang Rui, your leave is approved."
"I'm giving you three days off to go home and be with your family," Lü Chaoping said.
"Yes, Team Leader Lü," Wang Rui replied.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin," Wang Rui said as he left.
Lü Chaoping stayed for a while longer before leaving. Lin Chen didn't need his guidance. He continued teaching Lin Xiaoqian.
Lin Xiaoqian had lost interest in street shooting. Practicing at the shooting range allowed her to gain experience more quickly.
Lin Chen wasn't aiming for the Legendary rank. Reaching the Grandmaster level in marksmanship would be enough for him.
Two days passed.
During this time, Lin Chen had been practicing at the shooting range every day.
Suddenly, the System's voice rang in his mind: "Host, your marksmanship skill has reached the Grandmaster level."
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
Finally.
With his marksmanship skill at the Grandmaster level, there were likely fewer than ten people on the entire planet with better shooting skills than him.
Moreover, all his firearm skills had reached the Grandmaster level. Others likely only had one firearm type at that level.
"Daddy, why did you stop?" Lin Xiaoqian asked, looking at Lin Chen.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Lin Chen raised his hand and fired. With his marksmanship skill at the Grandmaster level, the gun in his hand felt like an extension of his body.
There was no need to aim; wherever he pointed, he hit.
"Daddy, you're so amazing!"
"Daddy, I want to become amazing like you too!" Lin Xiaoqian clapped her hands.
Lin Chen patted her small head. "Qianqian, Daddy's practiced enough. Shall we go home?"
"Yes, yes," she nodded.
Lin Chen had told her that by acting as his sparring partner, he could teach her during practice sessions, allowing her to gain experience.
***
Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian returned home, and Tianlang arrived shortly after.
Lin Chen and Tianlang went to the study.
Tianlang opened the briefcase he had brought with him.
He pulled out a custom-made pistol. "Mr. Lin, this is the firearm I've obtained for you. It's more powerful than standard handguns and significantly more expensive."
"This gun requires you to register your palm print."
"Even if someone else gets their hands on your gun, they won't be able to fire it."
Lin Chen quickly registered his palm print.
Tianlang continued, "Mr. Lin, although others can't fire your gun, you still need to keep it secure."
"You've been issued one hundred rounds of ammunition. If you use any, you'll need to explain where it was used."
Lin Chen nodded.
Tianlang's expression turned serious. "Mr. Lin, this firearm is for your safety. It's best not to let others know you're armed."
"Otherwise, they might resort to more extreme measures against you."
Lin Chen asked, "Tianlang, does my concealed carry permit only apply to this specific gun? If I don't have this one with me and I grab an enemy's gun, can I use theirs to fight back?"
"Of course," Tianlang nodded.
Lin Chen smiled. This was perfect.
Since he could use other weapons, he could prepare more in his System Space, significantly improving his safety.
A small handgun's power couldn't compare to a sniper rifle, heavy machine gun, or other large firearms.
If the enemy died, could they still stand up and claim the gun wasn't theirs?
"Mr. Lin, you're safe at home. When you're there, it's best to keep this gun locked up. Outside, you should carry it for self-defense," Tianlang advised.
Lin Chen nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Tianlang took his leave.
Lin Chen stored the gun and ammunition in his System Space.
With surveillance everywhere, he rarely used his System Space.
Now, his one-thousand-cubic-meter System Space was completely empty.
"Looks like I'll have to make a trip abroad soon," Lin Chen muttered to himself.
He couldn't acquire many firearms to fill his System Space in China, but in many countries abroad, money could buy them freely.
His one-thousand-cubic-meter space could store a vast quantity of valuable items.
