"The hostage rescue project, there was no requirement on when to open fire."
"As long as it wasn't too slow to cause the 'hostage' to be killed, it would be considered up to standard."
"Moreover, in actual combat, the best opportunities are often fleeting."
"Qin Xuan's ability to seize the opportunity at the first moment and eliminate the perpetrator can greatly guarantee the safety of the hostage."
"This is definitely something only a top sniper can do."
"I don't know what reason you have to ask the General to eliminate him."
Li Hongyu's tone was filled with sarcasm, and her expression towards Qin Hu had shifted from initial impatience to a hint of disdain.
She didn't understand why this man was becoming increasingly annoying.
A few years ago, he was just an immature nuisance.
"This, this isn't because you didn't explain clearly!"
"In regular competitions, we always shoot in the second round."
"If you had specified beforehand, I could have shot in the first round too!"
Seeing Li Hongyu's dismissive expression, Qin Hu felt a sting in his heart.
He sensed her disgust.
But the more it was like this, the more he needed to prove himself with his skills.
"Enough!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel in front of so many people, Fu Guo'an let out a stern shout, instantly separating them.
"Don't you think you can do it?"
"Fine."
"I've already had Xiao Yang and the others rearrange the props."
"You go up to position now and redo it as quickly as possible."
"If your score ranks first, then I will admit your statement, but if you can't, you won't participate in the subsequent competitions!"
"I..."
"Hurry up and go!"
Having Qin Hu redo the test was a result of discussions between Fu Guo'an and Qin Xuan.
Although he wanted to use Qin Xuan to temper Qin Hu's arrogance, he also wanted to see if this kid could go even further.
Qin Xuan was helping Fu Guo'an with this favor, so he wasn't in a hurry. He simply held his rifle, calmly watching Qin Hu reposition himself.
"Second hostage rescue, begin!"
As Fu Guo'an gave the order again, Qin Hu began his second challenge.
But unlike before, the pressure he was under was immense, almost to the point of explosion.
Although Qin Hu had been stubborn, saying he could do it too, in reality, he had watched Qin Xuan's entire shooting process.
He knew very clearly how perfectly Qin Xuan had performed throughout the sniper operation.
But he just couldn't swallow his pride.
Especially in front of the girl he loved!
"Damn it, I will definitely surpass you and become number one!"
Thinking this, Qin Hu's eyes gradually approached the scope.
But only then did he realize that the target had already moved to the perfect position for the first shot.
"Not good!"
In his haste, Qin Hu quickly pulled the trigger.
But as Li Hongyu had said, perfect opportunities were fleeting.
Although his shot hit, it only grazed the edge of the target.
By sniper standards, it was clearly very substandard.
How could this happen?!
After the first shot, Qin Hu's emotions were in turmoil.
When he regrouped to rescue the next "hostage," that "hostage" had already been killed by the "perpetrator" due to exceeding the time limit.
The consecutive failures severely affected Qin Hu's mindset.
The third bullet also missed the target, as expected.
Three shots, zero hits.
His head was buzzing, and he even had the urge to jump off the platform.
How could this be?
This is not my normal performance at all!
Dejected, Qin Hu moved down from the vantage point.
Fu Guo'an also learned of his score from the soldiers opposite.
"Do you have anything else to say now?!" Fu Guo'an questioned him, disappointed.
Qin Hu shook his head weakly.
Even with his stubbornness, he couldn't argue anymore.
He had chosen the project, and he had chosen to redo it.
He hadn't seized the opportunities even after so many chances, so what right did he have to be unconvinced?
No, wait!
The competition wasn't over yet. There was still the long-range sniping that he was most skilled at.
I still have a chance, I still have a chance!
Thinking of this, Qin Hu felt like he had found a lifeline in the deep sea.
Ignoring the strange glances from others, he desperately asked Fu Guo'an to let him participate in the third competition item.
Fu Guo'an was reluctant, as he was truly angry now.
However, he couldn't resist Qin Hu's pleading.
With a sigh, he looked at Qin Xuan standing behind him.
"It's getting late, let's finish this quickly. I have something to discuss with you."
Nodding to Fu Guo'an, Qin Xuan was the first to leave the scene.
He could tell that Qin Hu was not completely convinced. Since that was the case, he didn't mind striking another blow to this kid.
With Qin Xuan's consent, Fu Guo'an found his excuse.
The third competition venue moved from the high-rise building to an open space.
The shooting position was on a small hill, and their targets were in the wilderness below the hill.
As everyone took their positions, several soldiers brought several sniper rifles, larger than CS rifles, to Qin Xuan.
These were firearms he had seen before, but they hadn't been used because long-range shooting wasn't required.
Now that the project had changed, more suitable firearms were needed.
Barrett M82A1: Brother, have you heard of the king of sniper rifles? Maximum effective range 1850 meters, maximum range 2500 meters. It's definitely a must-have for killing people and looting... ah no, for home travel!
AWM: Don't listen to him, brother. The Barrett's recoil is too strong, it's not meant for humans! Use me, my range is also far, and even at 2500 meters, I have destructive power!
TAC: Heh, destructive power at 2500 meters is something to brag about? My extreme kill range hasn't even been measured yet! What did I say?
The inner thoughts of the sniper rifles were all similar.
If he had seen them before, Qin Xuan might have chosen the Barrett or the AWM.
After all, these two sniper rifles were very famous.
The AWM is a frequent visitor in PUBG.
As for the Barrett...
Who hasn't heard of the "Barrett cannon resistance" when they were young?
But today, both of them were directly passed over by him.
Because during the first selection of sniper rifles, he had caught a glimpse of a sniper rifle that had set the longest kill record.
That was the American-made TAC rifle placed next to the AWM.
And the longest kill record it set was an astonishing 3540 meters!
So without hesitation, he directly chose this ultra-long-range sniper rifle whose extreme kill range was unknown.
Li Hongyu and Qin Hu also did the same.
To achieve ultra-long-range precision shooting, the TAC was still the best choice.
"Next, I will announce the rules for this ultra-long-range sniping project."
"This project has four fixed target positions."
"The closest target position is 500 meters, and the farthest is 1200 meters."
"You can choose one of the target positions to shoot at, or you can set your own target distance, but each person only has five bullets."
"After shooting, your scores will be determined by a combination of hitting the farthest target and the number of targets hit."
"Now, take your positions with your observers!"
