Chapter 21 Stand firm, hold it well, aim the muzzle, and keep the barrel steady!
Shooting training room.
There are neatly arranged gunpowder spears on the shelves against the wall, and hollow projectiles filled with wooden boxes are stacked on the table next to them.
Next to the ammunition box was a stack of small books, with the words "Simple Shooting Training Manual" engraved on the surface of the white books.
Listening to the sparse gunfire and smelling the faint smell of gunpowder smoke, Cui Ze walked over, first picked up a "Training Manual" and read it carefully, making sure not to miss any step.
"Boy, is this your first time here?"
A thick and deep voice suddenly sounded.
Cui Ze moved his eyes away from the "Training Manual" and looked at the man who spoke.
The man is sitting behind the desk next to the gun rack. He looks to be in his thirties, and his appearance is extremely ordinary. However, the several scars scattered on his face make this sparse and ordinary face even more ferocious and terrifying.
meaning.
From the coat of justice on the back, it is easy to see that this "Scarface" should be an instructor in the training camp just like Xiu Zuo.
An instructor responsible for teaching firearms.
"Yes, instructor."
Cui Ze held the manual and nodded slightly towards the "scar-faced instructor".
"I haven't had many opportunities to come into contact with firearms before, so I want to read the manual instructions carefully before test firing to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Most of the 'little monsters' in the training camp don't attach much importance to firearms."
The instructor glanced at Cui Ze approvingly.
"There are very few newcomers as cautious as you.
"Go and practice on your own first! If you have any questions about shooting later, you can ask me."
"Thank you, instructor!"
Cui Ze saluted the scar-faced instructor, then reviewed the "Training Manual" again, then picked up a long gun and a box of bullets and walked to the shooting range in the training room.
From the appearance, the gun Cui Ze holds in his hand is similar to the "flintlock gun" from his previous life.
However……
A gun that was originally supposed to be a "muzzleloader" can be loaded with multiple bullets at once.
Judging from the shooting principle of a flintlock gun, this operation is actually quite outrageous...
However, the technology in the pirate world is inherently buggy.
Cui Ze only struggled with it for a short while and stopped delving into this issue.
He didn’t travel through time to become a great scientist!
Loading bullets and gently stroking the metal barrel of the spear, Cui Ze was like a big boy who got a novel toy, with a slightly excited expression.
After playing with the barrel of the gun for a while, Cui Ze raised the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the target opposite, and pressed the trigger.
Bang!
A cloud of thick smoke was ejected from the muzzle, and the round bullets flew out, flying across the shooting range space in a breath and hitting the target.
"Six rings!"
Cui Ze put down his gun and watched his "first shot" score.
“Not bad!”
Cui Ze raised the barrel of the gun again and fired wildly at the target.
Six rings!
Six rings!
Seven rings!
Seven rings!
Cui Ze's shooting performance was steadily improving. After he finished shooting a box of bullets, the bullets were basically concentrated in the eighth and ninth ring range, and a few of them were able to hit the bullseye.
Cui Ze took another box of bullets and started shooting training without getting tired of it.
After the second box of ammunition was exhausted, a new prompt suddenly popped up on the light screen.
[After repeated practice, you obtain the F-level ability entry [Close Range Shooting]!]
[F-level entry: short-range shooting]
[Entry effect: When launching a long-range attack against a close target not exceeding 10 meters, your attack accuracy will be improved to a certain extent]
[Comment on the entry: Stand firm, hold on tight, aim the muzzle, and keep the barrel steady!]
"...I always feel like something is wrong."
Cui Ze ignored the strange entry comments, felt the newly acquired entry ability, and then picked up another box and started shooting.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
When the third box of bullets is used up, the entry effect of [Close Range Shooting] changes to "will gain a small accuracy improvement."
Until lunch, Cui Ze improved this ability by consuming a lot of bullets to:
[Effect of the entry: When launching a long-range attack against a close target of no more than 10 meters, your attack is particularly accurate. 】
At this time, Cui Ze was shooting target again.
Eight out of ten guns are of ten rings, and two guns are of nine rings.
The right one!
Cui Ze, who was in a happy mood, put back his spear and left the shooting training room.
The scar-faced instructor from before looked at the empty bullet casings on the ground, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
“This guy’s bullet consumption in half a day is equivalent to someone else’s in a week!
"but……
"Quite talented!"
After enjoying a sumptuous lunch for fifty people, Cui Ze left the cafeteria with a steady pace and returned to the shooting training room under the admiring eyes of all the navy soldiers.
This time, Cui Ze changed the shooting distance.
The 10-meter target was replaced by a 20-meter target.
After consuming two more boxes of bullets, Cui Ze once again gained a new F-level ability [medium-range shooting].
[F-level entry: medium-range shooting]
The entry effect is the same as the original [Close Range Shooting], except that the range description of the entry effect has changed, from "no more than 10 meters" to "above 10 meters, less than 20 meters".
Just when the scar-faced instructor thought Cui Ze would continue to practice shooting crazily, he directly put away the gun and left the shooting training room.
It’s time to kill fish in the afternoon!
…
Canteen chef.
Seeing Cui Ze coming to the food processing room just like he had in the past two days, all the chefs immediately cheered.
"Cui Ze, here we come!"
"You looked so handsome when you defeated Smoker today!"
"When was he number one in the training camp?"
Most of these cooks had witnessed Cui Ze defeat Smoker in public, and those who hadn't seen it had heard about it from other people's ears, and they were all full of praise for this achievement.
Cui Ze responded to everyone's questions one by one, then walked to his usual fish-killing position, chopped and killed the fish like a robot.
[You killed a fish and sea beast with an overall rating of F!]
【……】
In an instant, two fish and sea beasts ended their lives in Cui Ze's hands.
The familiar fish killing information flow appeared in the upper right corner of the light screen, and then a new prompt popped up.
[Kill 50 miscellaneous fish and sea beasts in total, and you will obtain an F-level information entry [Miscellaneous Fish Killer]! 】
[F-level entry: Trash fish killer]
[Effects of entries: 1. Familiar with the living habits and physical weaknesses of most common sea beasts; 2. The damage caused to common sea beasts is slightly increased]
[Comment on the entry: No...don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I'm saying that everyone here is a dead fish]
Cui Ze, who was immersed in killing fish, did not notice the new information entry, but he still vaguely felt that his fish killing speed had been slightly improved.
'Probably practice makes perfect...'
Such thoughts flashed through Cui Ze's mind and were quickly ignored by him.
It wasn't until he returned to his room at night that Cui Ze discovered new information entries.
"No wonder we killed 32 sea beasts today! It turned out to be the auxiliary effect of the new entry!"
Cui Ze opened the light curtain.
In the previous few fishing trips, all the victory bait was used up.
Today's 32 pieces of F-grade bait are all Cui Ze's current savings, which can be combined into two top-notch E-grade baits.
"Mix the bait and continue fishing?"
Cui Ze hesitated for a moment and decided to stop fishing temporarily.
He currently has quite a few abilities.
[Breath of the Beast·Full Concentration] requires practice to improve; [Smoke Form] requires repeated adaptation;
The newly acquired [Short Range Shooting] and [Medium Range Shooting] also require constant training;
Not to mention the [Iron Block] that will be obtained later, and even the [Armed Haki]!
For now.
What Cui Ze needs to do is to consolidate his foundation and adapt to his strength, rather than constantly acquiring uncertain new abilities.
After thinking clearly about this relationship, Cui Ze simply turned off the light curtain and did not even operate the fusion bait.
After a brief wash, Cui Ze went directly to bed to rest.
