Chapter 21, Seven Nights: Some Things Don't Need to Be Upheld
As soon as Lin Qiye finished speaking, Leng Xuan looked at Lin Qiye as if he were an idiot.
"Don't you know that bullets travel in a straight line when they are fired? Bullets always fly in a straight line. Due to air resistance, the speed of the bullet will gradually decrease and eventually fall to the ground."
Wang Teng continued, "But, if someone's forbidden ability is spatial folding, Brother Leng, is such an operation even possible?"
Upon hearing about spatial folding, Leng Xuan thought for a moment and nodded: "Hmm, if it's a spatial fold, then it might be possible. However, since spatial folding is already possible, they probably won't use weapons like guns anymore."
Wang Teng continued, "Brother Leng, I have another question. If I have two enemies in front of me, but I only have one bullet in my gun and a sharp dagger, if I put the dagger on the muzzle of the gun, can I make one bullet become two bullets the instant the bullet is fired, hitting both enemies at the same time?"
Leng Xuan pointed directly at the door: "Get out of here! People who are bad at physics shouldn't come here to learn about firearms!"
Wang Teng nodded obediently, and just as he was leaving, he heard Lin Qiye's voice again.
"That makes sense. That way, one bullet becomes two."
Unable to contain himself any longer, Leng Xuan flicked Lin Qiye on the forehead: "Idiot, since you already have a knife that can cut bullets, why are you still worrying about one or two bullets? Lin Qiye, tell me honestly, are you a complete physics dunce?"
Lin Qiye scratched his head sheepishly: "Brother Leng, how did you know I was planning to major in history? Physics is too hard!"
Leng Xuan, his face dark, handed Lin Qiye a gun: "Enough with the nonsense, start by shooting from 20 meters away. Let me see your talent!"
"Bang!"
It missed the target.
Both of their faces darkened.
As the gunshot rang out, Leng Xuan clutched his chest with a heartbroken expression; his Dao Heart was shattered!
Taking a deep breath, Leng Xuan turned around and comforted Lin Qiye: "It's okay, Qiye, it's normal for this to happen the first time. You're different from that kid Wang Teng. That kid's strength is a bit strange, he doesn't need guns. You're different, you're still a bit weak. Guns are of little use to high-level mythical creatures, but for low-level mythical creatures, guns are often more effective than melee weapons."
Lin Qiye seemed to have regained some confidence and nodded upon hearing this: "Brother Leng, you're right. I was just a little unaccustomed to shooting earlier. With more practice, I'll definitely get better. I have faith in you. Your marksmanship is so good, you can definitely teach me."
Leng Xuan opened his mouth: "No, isn't practicing shooting your job? How come, as we're talking, I feel like if you don't learn it, it's all my fault!"
Lin Qiye nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, only a great teacher can produce outstanding students! Just like in school, if I did poorly on a test, it must be because the teacher didn't teach me well!"
Then, Lin Qiye said to Leng Xuan with a smile, "So, Brother Leng, I'll have to trouble you to use your best skills."
Wang Teng, with an expression of utter astonishment, gave Lin Qiye a thumbs up: "Little Lin, I'm completely impressed! Put aside your personal ethics, embrace this shameless life, refuse to suffer internal strife, and just go all out when something happens. It's better to make things difficult for others than to make things difficult for yourself! Brother Leng, Little Lin has already put himself in this position, aren't you going to take on the role of a strict teacher and properly discipline him? Otherwise, be careful Little Lin doesn't ruin your reputation when he gets out!"
Leng Xuan, instead of his usual reserved and sly demeanor, approached Lin Qiye with a sinister grin.
He clenched his fists, and a series of crackling sounds came from them: "Alright, Xiao Linzi, I'll definitely show you my best skills today and teach you how to shoot properly."
Lin Qiye then realized that his frivolous remarks just now seemed to have strained his back.
"Um, Brother Leng, actually, if it weren't so necessary..."
Leng Xuan brought over three boxes of magazines: "Guns are all about practice makes perfect. Don't say I'm forcing you. We can rest after we fire these 5000 rounds today."
Lin Qiye's face lit up with joy: "Really..."
Leng Xuan smiled and nodded: "Yes, really, I never lie."
Wang Teng, standing to the side, almost burst out laughing as he watched Lin Qiye, looking utterly bewildered, accept the bullet handed to him by Leng Xuan.
Guns have recoil.
Although Lin Qiye's cultivation level is now at the Zhan Realm, his physical abilities are slightly higher than ordinary people, but not by much. After firing 5000 bullets, his shoulder will probably be swollen by tomorrow.
Watching the shooting practice, Wang Teng shook his head, walked to the armory, and went to the adjacent training room to continue meditating and cultivating.
Leng Xuan is right. Guns can only be used at lower levels. At higher levels, it's all about mental strength and the laws of nature.
At 10 p.m., Leng Xuan walked out of the armory looking utterly devastated, followed by Lin Qiye, whose face was ashen.
Hongying quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Qiye, what's wrong with you?"
Leng Xuan, with a face full of life's experiences, said to Lin Qiye, "Qiye, some things really depend on talent. There are many paths to Rome; you don't necessarily have to go down a dead end!"
Lin Qiye forced himself to say, "Brother Leng, it's okay. As long as I practice more, I'm sure I can master marksmanship."
Leng Xuan glanced at Lin Qiye, who was full of fighting spirit, opened his mouth, sighed helplessly, and then closed it again.
An expression that says, "Whatever makes you happy."
Lin Qiye looked at everyone and asked somewhat nervously, "Captain, do we have a place to stay?"
Chen Muye looked at Lin Qiye with some confusion: "Don't you have a place to stay?"
Lin Qiye scratched his head sheepishly.
"Before joining the Night's Watch, I always thought that the Night's Watch was a very large organization, located in a remote military restricted area, full of planes and tanks,"
“I originally lived with my aunt and cousin, but I was worried that we would go out for training, so I just told my aunt that I had joined the army.”
Wang Teng then raised his hand and looked at Chen Muye: "Captain, what exactly have Lin Qiye and I been saying to others about what we've been doing these past few years? We can't just say we're unemployed! That would really affect my future pension."
"Didn't I tell you? With your joining the Night's Watch, your files have already been transferred to the military."
Wang Teng made a heart shape with his hands for Chen Muye.
"I love you, Captain! I'll rely on this salary to improve my skills."
When the topic of strength came up, Chen Muyi explained to Wang Teng, "I have already reported your situation to the higher-ups. A month from now, as long as you pass the trial, the higher-ups will allocate energy blocks to you every month."
