Prelude - New Life Chapter 34 Arrived as promised

A red taxi pulled up in front of the City Hunter HOC shooting club, and a long-haired man in a red leather jacket got out of the car. He flicked his sunglasses, glanced at the sign of "City Hunter HOC", waved his arm, slung his black sports backpack over his shoulder, and walked straight into the door of this high-class shooting enthusiast club in Jingnan City.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?" The female saleswoman at the bar asked enthusiastically.

"Range 1, appointment 035." The long-haired young man replied.

"You can take the elevator to the second floor to wash the bathroom and change clothes, or ......," said the saleswoman.

"No need, the person I wanted to date me has already arrived." The long-haired young man interrupted the saleswoman.

At this time, Xu Tian, a former famous player in the e-sports Gun of Glory project, was enjoying a leisurely life after retiring, and he looked through the upstairs window of the "City Hunter HOC" club at the "Flying Tower", the base of the once familiar Phoenix team (PHX) in the distance. He picked up the vibrating phone on the table, and when he saw the words "Liu Ye" on the screen, the corners of his mouth began to rise.

"See you at Range 1." Xu Tian said lightly.

Five minutes later, a young man wearing a white baseball jersey and a white baseball cap appeared in the club's elevator. He then took a mini tram driven by the club driver to Range 1. When the young man in white arrived, he walked to a round table and sat down opposite a long-haired young man in red leather.

The long-haired young man greeted: "The star players are different, it turns out that the retirement life after retirement can still be so comfortable, pity me for this mud, rolling on the ground all day long, I don't know when I will be a ......"

"Louis XI? Don't come unharmed! Xu Tian asked straight to the point.

"Yes, 3 years ago...... I've used this ID, and Louis XI is known as the 'Spider King', which is cool, isn't it? The long-haired man said.

"Your real name is 'Liu Ye'? Vietnamese? New to Gyeonnan City? Xu Tian asked continuously.

"The basic information should be in the information, and I don't want to answer it." Liu also said.

"Your Chinese is so good that it surprises me......" Xu Tian asked.

"My hometown is Bantai Village, Hejiang City, where there are many Chinese Americans, and we grew up together, so Chinese is not bad!" Liu also had a proud expression on his face.

"Liu Ye, Southeast Asia server Vietnam Theater GameID: RedEyes 'Red Eyes', Gun of Glory has been playing for 4 years, and the 'sixth man' of the Flying Sickle team of the Vietnam Professional League, with an average of 2.19 kills per game, 0.63 deaths per game, and a comprehensive glory value of 8.99...... The numbers are very good......"

"But it still can't be compared with Xu Tian, the great demon king with an honor value of 9.20." Liu also replied.

"I'm not the professional player with the highest glory value, and the star player of the Korean TKS team, Fike, has a comprehensive glory score of 9.51." Xu Tian said lightly, this injury made his personality a lot more restrained, of course, this is a disguise of his funny physique.

"The three-time world champion added 0.3 points to him, otherwise you would just be between them." Liu also said with a smile.

"I also have a copy of your stats from when you were in Ghost Troopers, with career stats of 1.89 kills per game, 0.59 deaths per game, and 8.71 overall glory points...... How do you explain some of the subtle changes? Xu Tian put a data sheet on the round table and continued to ask.

"There's nothing to explain, I've changed my style of play now, the kill rate is higher, and the mortality rate has gone up, but there's no doubt that I'm stronger now!" Liu also replied.

"Of course, you can say whatever you want about the data, but the commonly used weapons represent a person's habits...... Most of the matches on the Ghost.LY11 account used pistols, and only one sniper rifle was used in the WSTG Grand Finals. But now the RedEyes account is basically using sniper rifles or automatic rifles, and in the past three years, the number of pistol uses has decreased sharply, and even the Five-seveN '57' pistol has only been used 3 times, or a recent record, how can you explain it? Xu Tian threw out the question in his heart.

"Habits can also be changed...... Just because I haven't used a firearm before doesn't mean I won't use it in the future! In the past 3 years, I have become more professional, my weapons are more scientific, and I like the 'Desert Eagle' more pistol. Liu also explained.

"So, now you think — if you hadn't dropped AWP and used Five-seveN in that game three years ago...... As a result, will it be different? Xu Tian took a sip of the coffee on the table and asked with a smile.

"I'm very confident in my marksmanship, even if it's you, I won't throw in the towel easily!" Liu also tidied up the neckline of the red leather coat and said.

"I asked you to come over, I just want to learn from the 'real guy'!" Xu Tian said as he threw an improved shooting training gun to Liu Ye.

"7 days ago, you asked me to come here to meet, I guessed that I would inevitably have to be tested, fortunately I have practiced twice in the past few days, otherwise I will be embarrassed......" Liu also took the training gun with his hand, and adjusted the rifle's sights slightly with his fingers.

"If you like it, you should be entertained with me...... Since I left the national team, I rarely come to practice. Xu Tian said thoughtfully.

"So, is your experience shooting athletes real? I thought it was a joke from netizens...... Why did you retire from the Spear of Glory? Ready to get back on the shooting team? Although Liu also said this, he was not stage frightened, and walked to the shooting range with a gun.

The dummy at a distance of 100 meters from the depth of the shooting range has a "red circle center" printed on its chest representing the ten rings, and the black ripple-shaped circles around the center of the circle are marked with the nine, eight, and seven rings respectively...... There is no doubt that if there is no black line in the outermost circle of the hit, the score will be calculated as off-target.

Xu Tian did not answer, the fact that he was shot has not been announced to the outside world, and the hand injury is also regarded as a car accident...... He chose a training gun, which was exactly the same style as Liu Ye's. After putting on headphones and goggles, the two of them scattered and stood apart, both standing outside the white lime line, holding their guns in their hands, and their crosshairs were aimed at the dummy in the shooting range.

"Like the 'Training Map' range in the Gun of Glory?" Liu Ye asked suddenly.

"It's very similar, but the distance between real and virtual is not so easy to break...... Xu Tian said with a smile.

"Let's get started, right? Who hits first? Or one person, one shot? Liu also asked.

"One shot per person, more than ten bullets." Xu Tian replied.

Liu is also a person who is uninhibited on the outside and cold on the inside, and a slight smile will also make people feel ruffian, I saw him aim at the target a few times, put the gun down again, took out a black headband and tied his long hair up, the attitude is unpredictable is casual, or serious......

"Ready?" Xu Tian asked.

"Alright, let's get started!" Liu also replied.

“Three! Two! One! Start!” Voice prompts came from the range system.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The two alternately completed the continuous shooting, the tacit rhythm like the percussion ensemble of drums and gongs, and when the two of them finished firing ten bullets each, the body of the dummy in the distance was already scarred and blooming everywhere.
