“David, there may not be many people, but there is some really good stuff here!” Maron explained gleefully to David as he proceeded to retrieve his equipment.

Of course, David understood. With the city defense brigade as his backer, Jim would definitely be able to get his hands on some lightweight hot weapons. As long as he did not touch the heavy equipment, no one would question him.

In an administrative planet like Planet Rocky, which was in a war zone, the weapons control would not be too strict.

Sometimes, the military would even encourage civilians to practice using various hot weapons so that they could put it to use when necessary.

In fact, the military was not worried about hot weapons. They only had to control the civilian armorers, which were highly destructive and far more terrifying than those lightweight hot weapons.

“This is what you wanted!” Jim said as he walked towards them with a rectangular box in one hand and an ammunition box in the other.

David could tell from the amount of strength that he was using that the rectangular box was rather heavy.

He placed the rectangular box with a dull thud.

“David, I’ll try my hand at it first. You can try again afterward!” Maron said to David as he opened the rectangular box.

David nodded and looked at the box as well.

After Maron opened the box, the barrel of one of the sniper rifles was revealed. He grabbed the accessories like the barrel and stock out from the box and began assembling them.

“This?” David asked with some uncertainty as he looked at the extremely familiar-looking sniper rifle.

If the rifle was longer and the barrel was larger, he would have thought it was a specialized sniper rifle used by a Sniper Armorer.

“This is a replica of the ‘Eye of Death’. Although it is not as powerful as the ‘Eye of Death’ in terms of power, it has been adjusted and weakened based on the ratio utilized in the ‘Eye of Death’. Many Sniper Armorers have trained with this replica version!” Jim proudly declared as he introduced the sniper rifle.

David received a great shock as well. He remembered that the specialized sniper rifle in the illusion was named ‘Eye of Death’. Jim was rather well-connected and amazing. Its information could not even be found on Skynet, but there was a replica of her.

One can imagine the Sniper Armorer that had obtained the replica of Eye of Death and used it for training.

With the terrifying recoil of the Eye of Death, one’s physical exertion would increase greatly, even if they only used it for regular practice. The efficiency of the practice would also become too low.

At this moment, Maron had already taken out a magazine of ammo and slotted into the sniper rifle.

David saw that the replica did not have the switching of ammunition like the authentic Eye of Death had. However, he thought about it and realized that it made sense since the replica did not have to fire Level 1 ammunition. As such, it did not require a switch.

“Jim, give me some fixed targets!” Maron exclaimed at Jim as he got down on the ground in a crouching position.

Jim performed some operations on his identity bracelet, and at a spot that was more than 300 meters away, a row of ten fixed targets was lowered from the top.

“David, watch me shoot!” Maron exclaimed, gesturing for David to pay attention to his performance.

He then fired a bullet with the replica of the Eye of Death with an average rate of shooting once every five seconds. He said that he would usually practice shooting with a sniper rifle. Although he did not usually practice with the replica of the Eye of Death, the weapon he had was higher in terms of accuracy, and his performance was naturally better.

As the replica of the Eye of Death blared in Maron’s hand, the five people who were practicing shooting with pistols stopped and looked over.

“Jim, how did I do?” Maron asked while touching the gun.

“99-ring!” Jim announced the results after looking at his identity bracelet.

“Haha, I should have a talent for sniping, right?” Maron asked with a smug look on his face.

“Maron, we’re in a windless indoor environment, and you’re 300 meters away from the target. Yet, you can’t even hit the 100-ring with the replica of the Eye of Death. The cheek of you to call yourself a talent in sniping!” Jim scoffed.

“I think my score is good!” Maron exclaimed. He did not continue shooting. Although it was just a replica, it had a strong recoil, and he needed a break.

“Once you start firing shots with 100% accuracy and upgrade the settings, you will know the difficulty!” Jim said, not letting Maron off.

“David, you try!” However, Maron did not care about what Jim said. His main motive for going to the shooting range was to beat David at shooting.

David was a little impatient. He eagerly walked to the Eye of Death replica, and as soon as he touched the sniper rifle, he felt like it had become one with his body.

He stuck his fingers into the ammunition box beside him and took out a magazine. With a gentle press, he loaded it.

The only flaw was that the Eye of Death replica did not come equipped with a T3 Sniper Assist Device. It was just a normal scope.

However, the environment there wasn’t that complicated either. David did not even have time to aim after loading the ammunition. He simply placed the scope in front of his eyes and fired.

Ten shots were fired in a row and the sounds were almost continuous.

“Jim, how are David’s scores?” Maron turned to look at David and asked since he couldn’t help but secretly rejoice after seeing that David seemed to be firing in a random manner.

However, he saw a look of bewilderment on Jim’s face.

“100-ring. David, have you been practicing with a sniper rifle before?” Jim reported the results and asked curiously.

“What? He hit the 100-ring despite shooting in a random manner?” Maron questioned in disbelief before waiting for David to answer.

He grabbed Jim’s hand and looked at the scores displayed on his identity bracelet. The lack of a single mistake was enough to prove everything.

“I knew I shouldn’t have competed with you!” he said to David, in a somewhat grudging manner. He then turned to Jim and said, “David’s never touched a sniper rifle before. He’s just a quick learner.”

“How is that possible?” It wasn’t just Jim who didn’t believe it, but the five men next to him didn’t believe Maron’s words either.

“David, are you interested in raising the bar?” Jim asked David.

“No problem!” David said with a nonchalant nod.

He was eager to play with the Eye of Death replica for a while longer. If he was given a chance, he would definitely scan and retrieve the information of the Eye of Death replica with his micro-scanner that he carried around.

He would then be able to restore the Eye of Death replica in the virtual world of his medium-sized server at home. He could also then slowly debug and form the real Eye of Death through the feeling in his memory.

“David, you have twenty seconds to prepare for the next increase in difficulty.” Jim did not state any requirements as he believed it would be hard enough for David to shoot at the target since he was new to it, let alone meeting the other requirements.

David pressed and loaded five sets of ammunition in a row, filling the replica’s magazine to the brim.

Within twenty seconds, he moved and Jim started performing some operations on his identity bracelet. Afterwards, ten fixed targets appeared at the farthest wall of the range and wind began blowing in the field.

David’s eyes moved slightly. The experience he had gained from constant studying told him that the farthest fixed target was 600 meters away, the wind speed was 3.7, and the temperature and humidity were about the same. Two seconds later, he fired with the Eye of Death replica again.

With another ten shots in a row, David ended that round of shooting.

At the same time, his body shuddered slightly in his wide suit, removing all the recoil he had sustained.

“100-rings!” Jim exclaimed with even more disbelief in his tone as he took another look at the scores.

In such an environment, he would be able to achieve those results as well if he were to shoot slowly. However, if he had to shoot rapidly and consecutively as David did, the recoil of the first bullet alone would have sent the remaining bullets flying everywhere.

“David, if you complete the following task, I’ll give you this Eye of Death replica!” Jim said again as he shifted his gaze a little.

“Jim, you and David are both my friends. You mustn’t get yourself into trouble because of your spontaneity!” Maron hurriedly warned.

“Maron, don’t worry, I know what to do!” Jim said with a wave of his hand. He looked at David and waited for a response.

“Sure!” David said, filled with excitement and agitation.

That was probably his only chance to get the Eye of Death replica before becoming a Sniper Armorer. Although he did not know why Jim would make such an offer, he was not going to stand on ceremony.

Jim was the son of the first officer of Pelan City’s military. Since he could set up such a large shooting range there, he was definitely not an insensible person. He definitely had his own plans since he could say those words.
