He studied the information carefully and noticed that he had already killed nine Flaming Black Beetles and four Flying Flaming Beetles. His Skillfulness with Basic Gun Technique was at 87%.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath of hot air and staked everything on this one attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He turned his gun around and fired at the Flaming Black Beetles on the ground.
These low-grade creatures had already formed a black insect swarm in the field. Meng Chao did not even need to aim. His bullets immediately tore open a few of the beetles' shells.
Some of the unlucky ones were hit by flammable mucus sacs, and they turned into fireballs.
There was a sea of fire in front of Block 19.
Flames rose, and the strange flame in front of Meng Chao became even more dazzling.
[You killed a Flaming Black Beetle. Increased contribution points by 1%. Now at 88%.
[Congratulations, Fire Relayer. You completed your first battle quest, Hunter of Other Insects. You used great power to defend your civilization. You obtained 1,500 contribution points and can increase any of your current basic skills by one level. Will you immediately level up?]
'Wait!'
Meng Chao held his breath and continued shooting madly. As his bullets howled, the Flaming Black Beetles exploded.
The strange flame in front of him burned madly.
[Increased Skillfulness by 1%, Skillfulness by 2%, Skillfulness by 3%!
[Congratulations. Your Skillfulness for Normal Level Basic Gun Technique has reached 100%. It has been upgraded to Specialist Level.]
As if he had been enlightened, all kinds of gun-related information popped up in his head. Bioelectricity surged from his central nervous system to his nerve endings, allowing every muscle fiber in his body to master better marksmanship.
At that moment, the dense gunshots attracted the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle's attention.
The superbeast turned 180 degrees, and golden powder shone on its wings. It widened its ghostly eyes, and its terrifying aura seemed to have gained physical form. It locked onto Meng Chao's window.
Kacha!
The strengthened glass could not withstand the superbeast's aura crashing into it. Cracks that looked like a spider web appeared on it.
"Whose house is that? Does it want to die?"
The Bayonet Team on the ground also noticed the superbeast's rage.
Li Dayong and the neighbors could not help but break into a sweat for the crazed shooter.
'Now! I'll pour all my contribution points into Basic Gun Technique and increase my Skillfulness to the max!' Meng Chao roared in his heart.
He obtained more than thirty contribution points from teaching Reckless Bull Technique, five hundred contribution points from reducing his sister's chances of being corrupted, and one thousand one hundred contribution points from completing the Hunter of Foreign Insects quest. In total, he had more than two thousand contribution points, and he poured all of them into Basic Gun Technique.
His Proficiency skyrocketed.
15%，26%，48%，55%，78%，99%！
He felt that his brain and hands were on fire. Countless memories of shooting in his previous life were shining brightly, like burning meteorites bombarding him, firmly engraved on the cerebral cortex of this life.
[Congratulations, the Skillfulness of Specialist Level Basic Gun Technique has reached 100%. It has been upgraded to Master Level.]
A clear and melodious gunshot rang out in his head.
Along with the excruciating pain that made his brain feel like it was being torn apart, details that were ten times richer than the Expert level came pouring in.
No, this is not enough.
Meng Chao cradled his burning brain. He felt as if his brain was about to gush out of his orifices, but he gritted his teeth and roared in his heart. 'Now, I can get the reward for Hunter of Other Insects and increase my Master Level Basic Gun Technique by another level!'
[First battle reward confirmed. Congratulations, your Basic Gun Technique has leveled up from Master Level to Perfect Level.]
Basic Spear Technique, perfect!
"Ahhhhhh!"
In an instant, Meng Chao's mind nearly exploded.
The incomparably violent information flow not only poured in all of his shooting experience from his previous life, but it was also poured in as well.
It was as if the shooting experience of hundreds of veterans who died with him when Dragon City was destroyed had been stuffed into his brain, and it was about to turn into magma that gushed out of his orifices.
Apart from knowing how to fine-tune every strand of muscle fiber and even every cell, he was able to perfectly control most ordinary firearms.
Hundreds of monster body structures appeared in his mind, including their weaknesses and the best way to fight against them.
Aside from the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle, there were plenty of other monsters that the current Dragon Citizens had never seen before, but he knew them very well.
It was just like how he had stood in front of the operating table in his previous life and personally dissected countless monsters.
"This is the feeling!"
He endured the pain of his brain spurting out and used his hands that were about to burn to reload the last armor-piercing clip.
He did not even look at it and fired three consecutive shots.
This time, the armor-piercing bullets flew out of the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle's curved shell.
They did not pierce through the shell, and they completely enraged the superbeast.
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle shot above Meng Chao's apartment.
Screech!
A piercing screech tore through all the residents' eardrums.
It opened its mouth, and a dark red fireball that was almost purple quickly gathered up.
The superbeast in front of him overlapped with the scene in his nightmare.
Meng Chao seemed to see how this creature wreaked havoc, how it tore humans to shreds, how it burned the home he had lived in for seventeen years to ashes, how it hurt his mother, father, younger sister, himself, his neighbors, and all the people in Blessed Heavenly Garden.
His eyeballs burned, and flames that looked like bullets gushed out of the depths of his pupils.
"Die this time!"
Bang!
At the moment the superbeast spat out destructive flames …
The last armor-piercing bullet was fired.
Basic Gun Technique, Perfect Level, activated!
Meng Chao became one with his gun. The light in his eyes and the will to kill were all wrapped around the bullet.
The bullet instantly sliced through the air.
It accurately pierced the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle's mouth and detonated the fireball that had yet to spit out.
Boom!
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle's mouth instantly exploded, and the organs around it were blasted to pieces. A large amount of sticky, faint golden liquid gushed out, and like a kite with its string snapped, it fell to the ground powerlessly.
"Someone destroyed the superbeast!"
Countless residents in the buildings and on the ground let out cries of surprise and delight.
The Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle was the monster's commander.
When its commander fell, the insect swarm immediately lost its leader.
Not only did the Flying Flame Beetles run around like headless chickens, the fierce insect swarm also split up. The Black Beetles spun around like ants on a hot pan and shuddered under the humans' roars.
"I think it's Block 19. It's Old Meng from Unit 3, Unit 704. He used to be a sharpshooter in the army, but he's still as strong as ever!"
Joint Defense Captain Li Dayong was surprised and delighted. He swung his saber and shouted at the top of his lungs, "The monsters are crumbling! Residents, for Blessed Heavenly Garden, for Dragon City, for Earth, charge!"
The howling Bayonet Squad rushed into the monster swarm like hungry tigers pouncing on sheep.
The Black Beetles, who had been afraid to move forward, instantly covered their heads and fled. They were utterly defeated and tried to run back into the depths of the fog.
But the space-time rift had already closed. They were like fish in a pot, and they had nowhere to run.
"I …"
In Unit 704, Meng Yishan could not believe his eyes.
The superbeast had clearly been destroyed by the bullets fired from Block 19, but aside from him, there was no other sharpshooter who was stronger than him!
Could it be that in a moment of desperation, he had fired his submachine gun madly, and in the end, he managed to perform better than usual?
He had a vague feeling that something was off, but he could not tell what was strange about it.
Thud.
A sound came from beside him, and his son fell limp on the ground.
"A 'chao!"
Meng Yishan's face turned pale with fright. He quickly went forward to hug his son and noticed that his skin was burning. It was as if he had a forty-degree Celsius fever, and his muscles were twitching madly.
Meng Chao could not say anything. Blood gushed out of his nose like a faucet that had been opened. His brain felt as if it had been run over by a main battle tank, and it hurt so much that he wanted to cry.
With his weak seventeen-year-old body, he had instantly awakened to so many memories of his previous life. His brain cells were practically stuffed to the point that they exploded because of the information tsunami. He was basically committing suicide.
Fortunately, he had won his gamble with the last bullet.
The three consecutive shots were just a bait.
It was to make the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle face him and expose its only fatal weakness in the depths of its mouth.
Then, he used the last armor-piercing bullet to interfere with the superbeast's killing move, which triggered a chain reaction that caused the spirit energy in the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle to go completely out of control.
It was not his bullet, but the superbeast's own rampaging power that killed it.
This was what was meant by perfection.
Meng Chao closed his eyes and noticed that the scene of the Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetle wreaking havoc in Blessed Heavenly Garden in his nightmare had shattered. It quickly faded away and disappeared with the wind.
'I knew it. Nightmares can be shattered, and the future can be changed. In the end, my fate is in my hands.' He smiled in his heart.
Suddenly, he tasted something sweet at the tip of his tongue. Bai Jiacao had pried open his mouth and poured medicine into it.
"Big Brother, don't die! I haven't taken my revenge — no, I haven't repaid you! How can you die just like this? Sob sob sob sob! "The girl cried her heart out.
"Who said I …" Meng Chao opened his eyes weakly.
"Big Brother, are you okay?" Bai Jiacao smiled through her tears and seized the chance to pinch Meng Chao's face. "How are you? Do you feel anything? Are you still conscious?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go!" As expected of the Dark Witch, she was really evil.
"Chao 'er, are you okay?" His father, mother, and Granny Wang looked at him in concern.
For the time being, Meng Chao did not know how he should explain it to them.
He was so tired that he could not speak.
He could only give them a thumbs up. "I'm fine. I'm just a little exhausted. Dad, you killed the superbeast. You're really good."
Meng Yishan's face turned red.
He stared at his son, who was trembling and exhausted. He thought about it and gave Meng Chao a thumbs up as well.
"Son, you're good too. Rest well. We're all here, so don't be afraid," the middle-aged man said seriously.
"That's right. With me around, other monsters can forget about bullying you!" Bai Jiacao added.
Meng Chao chuckled and closed his eyes.
After a moment, he opened them.
