The next morning, Qin Tian’s door was knocked.“Hello, are you Qin Tian?”A young soldier in military uniform stood at Qin Tian’s door, holding a rectangular box, his attitude polite.“I am.”Qin Tian nodded, his eyes falling on the box, a hint of anticipation flashing through them.“Please show me your identification.”The young soldier took out a black device, scanned Qin Tian’s ID card, and after a successful match, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ he handed the box to Qin Tian.“Thank you,” Qin Tian said.The young soldier smiled, gave Qin Tian a military salute, and then left.Creak~~The door next door opened, and Xiao Yunlong, with messy hair, ran out, standing in front of Qin Tian with an excited look.“Quick, quick, let me see what a Rune Gun looks like.”“Come inside to see.”Qin Tian placed the box flat on the table and activated the switch via facial recognition.Click~~The latch sprang open, and the top cover flipped to the side.A long, slender, black sniper rifle appeared before the two of them.The gun body was nearly two meters long, with a smooth, streamlined shape, like a black giant python poised to strike, its lines simple yet powerful, every curve perfectly placed, showcasing extreme craftsmanship and design aesthetics, its surface covered with a fine matte black paint that reflected not a single glint of light.Upon the gun body, subtle Texture were vaguely visible, like ancient runes winding and coiling.This was the Rune Sniper Rifle—Hidden Kill—that Qin Tian had exchanged for 2600 military points.So cool~Qin Tian’s eyes lit up; the physical item was even more attractive than the online pictures and videos.He extended both hands and slowly lifted Hidden Kill.This Rune Gun weighed at least five times more than an Owl Dragon Rifle; ordinary soldiers couldn’t even lift it, so one could imagine how exaggerated the recoil would be when a bullet was fired.“Wow, that’s so cool.”Xiao Yunlong rubbed his hands, “Qin Tian, can I touch it?”“Of course, you can even try a couple of shots later,” Qin Tian nodded.“Haha, you’re truly my good brother.”Xiao Yunlong’s face split into a wide grin; he was a Spiritual Energy User and also a military enthusiast, with extensive research into various weapons and equipment like firearms, mechs, and aircraft, but this was his first time encountering a Rune Weapon.Xiao Yunlong gently stroked the gun body, his eyes filled with admiration and curiosity; this was a Rune Sniper Rifle, he truly didn't know how terrifying its power would be once a bullet was fired.“Qin Tian, should we find a shooting range to try it out?” Xiao Yunlong was a bit impatient.“Don’t rush, let’s wait until they get up.”Qin Tian placed Hidden Kill on the table, then pulled out another iron box from inside the larger one.After opening the iron box, 125 specially made bullets were neatly arranged in rows; the bullets were longer than an adult’s palm and were also an ink-black color.Qin Tian loaded the bullets into the magazine; one magazine could hold 5 bullets.“I’ll go call them.”Xiao Yunlong dashed to the next room, knocked on Qin Dadi’s door, and also sent a message to Liu Zhaozhao, telling her to hurry up and get ready so they could go to the shooting range together to test the gun.Soon, Qin Dadi walked into Qin Tian’s room, and the moment he saw Hidden Kill, his eyes also lit up.…“Qin Tian, why don’t we switch to a closer target first?”Inside the shooting range, Xiao Yunlong, Qin Dadi, and Liu Zhaozhao stood behind Qin Tian, looking at the almost disappearing target three kilometers away, a thought emerging in their minds.It’s so far, can he really hit it?“I’ll try first, to get a feel for it.”Qin Tian lay on the ground in a standard prone shooting position, his legs slightly spread to provide stable support for his entire body.His arms were like steel brackets, steadily propping up the Rune Sniper Rifle, his cheek pressed tightly against the stock, and through the ultra-long-range scope, he saw the target several kilometers away.This was his first time challenging a range of over 3000 meters.But in fact, 3000 meters was still less than half of Hidden Kill’s maximum range.“Each bullet costs one military point, so use them sparingly,” Xiao Yunlong reminded him.“Understood.”Qin Tian focused his mind, his vision solely on the target in the scope, as threads of spiritual energy flowed into Hidden Kill along his palms, causing the patterns on both sides of the gun body to emit an even deeper, darker glow.His finger pulled the trigger.The bullet shot out from the muzzle, and the immense recoil made Qin Tian’s shoulder jolt.The next instant, the distant target exploded with a bang, scattering fragments everywhere, and even more astonishingly, there was not a single sound of gunfire throughout the entire process.This was the effect of the Concealment Rune.The bullet fired silently.“Hiss, that power is too terrifying.”The three members of the Earth Dragon Squad gasped, the targets in the shooting range were specially made, and ordinary sniper rifles would at most leave a black mark on them.Who would have thought that Hidden Kill, with one shot, would directly shatter the target?If this were a Spiritual Energy User, anyone below the fourth rank would die, and even a fourth-rank Spiritual Energy User might not be safe.Qin Tian was not satisfied with that shot, because he clearly saw that the bullet only hit the 5-ring area; it only blew up the entire target due to its immense kinetic energy.Qin Tian summarized that the accuracy was insufficient, firstly because he was using it for the first time and did not yet understand Hidden Kill’s overall performance; the unexpected recoil caused a slight deviation when the bullet was fired.Additionally, the spiritual energy input was not precise enough, leading to the three runes not being activated simultaneously, which also affected accuracy to some extent.Upon discovering the problem, Qin Tian immediately made adjustments, firing the second shot, the third shot…By the fifth shot, his control over Hidden Kill had reached a considerably high level; all that was needed now was gradual refinement in actual combat.“You guys try it too.”Qin Tian handed Hidden Kill to the eager Xiao Yunlong.“Come, come, let this master marksman show off his shooting skills.”Xiao Yunlong took the gun, his mouth wide with excitement, but when he fired the first shot, the smile instantly vanished from his face.“Master marksman, you missed the target.”Liu Zhaozhao’s lips curled, her light voice making Xiao Yunlong extremely embarrassed.To be honest, his marksmanship was genuinely good, especially after a period of special training with Huang Xun, his shooting skills had improved by leaps and bounds; while he couldn't be called a master marksman, he could at least reach an elite level.Without some foundation, he wouldn't dare to attempt operating the Rune Sniper Rifle, which had the highest difficulty.Before pulling the trigger, he had anticipated that the bullet would deviate significantly, but he never expected it to miss the target completely.This was too embarrassing.“Try again, and pay attention to controlling stability when firing.”Qin Tian said.“Okay.”This time, Xiao Yunlong was incredibly focused, adjusting his breathing, slowly injecting spiritual energy into the firearm, activating the three major runes, and then pulling the trigger.One second later, the target in front remained motionless, no sound emitted.“Missed again.”Qin Dadi shook his head with a smile; indeed, not everyone could use a Rune Gun, and even Xiao Yunlong, who had decent marksmanship, couldn't hit the target, so he wouldn't go make a fool of himself.“Damn it, how did I miss again?”Xiao Yunlong’s eyes widened; he thought he had controlled it well this time, but the result remained unchanged.“Forget it, that’s enough.”Xiao Yunlong completely accepted reality; the Rune Sniper Rifle was not for everyone, requiring both marksmanship and spiritual energy control, so he wouldn’t waste Qin Tian’s bullets anymore.Qin Tian looked at Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao, but seeing that neither of them had any intention of trying the gun, he put Hidden Kill away.
