I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 5 - Xiaolong Rifle Flame Power


“Brother, what’s your name?”The young man looked at Qin Tian, a smile on his face.Qin Tian was expressionless and pointed to the number on his chest.“Ah haha, you don’t have a name yet, do you?”The man laughed awkwardly, then introduced himself: “My name is Xiao Yunlong, and this beautiful lady next to me is Liu Zhaozhao.”Qin Tian nodded, while also observing the two.Both of them were young, looking to be only in their twenties.Xiao Yunlong was quite handsome, and his smile, revealing two rows of white teeth, was very infectious.Liu Zhaozhao had fair skin, a pure and gentle beauty, and straight long hair draped over her shoulders. She seemed to have just cried, as her eyes were red and swollen, which added a touch of broken beauty to her.“Oh, and the person at the door is our captain, Qin Dadi,” Xiao Yunlong added.Qin Dadi~Qin Tian’s eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he had thought of something.“I’ve remembered.”Bang~The sound of a door closing came from outside, and Qin Dadi walked into the room.“Captain Qin, I’ve already told him our three names.”Xiao Yunlong asked, “But shouldn’t we give him a name? It feels weird to call him by a number.”“Mm.”Qin Dadi nodded. Huang Xun had just sacrificed himself, and this clone soldier joined the Earth Dragon Squad as a marksman. It seemed like a coincidence, but it could also be fate’s arrangement.Since that was the case, why not call him Huang…“I have a name,” Qin Tian suddenly spoke.“You have a name? Did Instructor Raymond give it to you?” Xiao Yunlong asked curiously.Qin Tian glanced at Qin Dadi, his tone calm:“My name is Qin Tian.”Qin… Tian?Xiao Yunlong secretly peeked at Qin Dadi, his lips tightly pursed, wanting to laugh but not daring to, feeling very uncomfortable.Liu Zhaozhao lowered her head, a hint of a smile appearing in the corner of her eye.Qin Dadi’s expression stiffened, his eyelids twitching violently twice.My name is Qin Dadi, and your name is Qin Tian.Are you trying to step on my head?Qin Dadi glared at Qin Tian, but found no expression on Qin Tian’s face. However, the subtle twitch of his eyebrows was clearly caught by him.This kid, could he have chosen this name as retaliation because I just called him trash?A thought surfaced in Qin Dadi’s mind, but he himself found it absurd.Would a clone, fresh from the factory and having experienced nothing, truly have emotions like anger and resentment?“Cough, cough, Qin Tian, not bad, it’s a good name.”Qin Dadi patted Qin Tian’s shoulder. “Then we’re family. Don’t worry, your big brother will take care of you in the future.”“Haha, Qin Tian, welcome to the Earth Dragon Squad!”Xiao Yunlong enthusiastically put his arm around Qin Tian’s shoulder, acting very familiar. “From now on, we’re comrades, we’re brothers.”“Welcome,” Liu Zhaozhao said simply, her tone somewhat indifferent.She hadn’t yet emerged from the grief of Huang Xun’s sacrifice. Facing Huang Xun’s successor, a new marksman joining, she couldn't say she resisted, but at the very least, she couldn’t accept it as quickly as Qin Dadi and Xiao Yunlong.Qin Tian nodded, maintaining his usual cool demeanor.“Qin Tian, come, sit.”Xiao Yunlong pressed Qin Tian into a chair, poured him a glass of water, and asked curiously:“Can you tell me how you passed the Lingtong Bird (Nimble Bird) Test? I challenged it once before, and I couldn’t even hit a wing.”Upon hearing this, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao immediately looked at Qin Tian.They also wanted to know how a newly manufactured clone could complete such a nightmarish shooting exercise.Qin Tian blinked, his tone faint: “You just need hands.”Just need hands…Their eyes twitched violently. This sounded so annoying.However, when they saw Qin Tian’s eyes, as calm as a lake, they helplessly shook their heads.Forget it, as a clone, he surely doesn’t understand what showing off is; he’s just speaking his mind.“Qin Tian, is that your gun behind you?”Xiao Yunlong changed the subject, glanced at the rifle Qin Tian carried, and pouted: “The Type 85 standard rifle, its power is decent, but the rate of fire is too slow. This kind of gun can only deal with those Green-skinned Orcs.”“Captain Qin, I think we can give Huang Xun’s gun to Qin Tian.”Qin Dadi didn't refuse and nodded, saying:“Alright, go get all of Huang Xun’s things.”“Got it!”Xiao Yunlong quickly ran into the room and carried out a black box. Inside were all of Huang Xun’s personal belongings.Click~~The buckle opened, and Xiao Yunlong held up a dark rifle with both hands. The surface of the gun body was sandblasted, giving off a matte metallic luster, conveying a sense of sturdiness and durability. The large muzzle brake at the front of the barrel had a unique shape, like ferocious fangs. It not only effectively reduced the huge recoil generated when firing but also added a few points of deterrence.“The Owl Dragon Rifle, Gerrard Company’s ace product.”Xiao Yunlong then took out a rectangular iron box, patted it twice, and said: “Inside are armor-piercing and high-combustion rounds that go with the Owl Dragon Rifle. Their lethality is enough to threaten a Tier 2 Spiritual Energy User. Here, take it and feel it.”Qin Tian reached out with both hands to take the rifle. The moment he picked up the Owl Dragon Rifle, a sense of familiarity surged through him, as if this gun had accompanied him for more than ten years, every part deeply imprinted in his mind.Qin Tian caressed the gun body, the cold, matte texture from his fingertips making his soul tremble slightly.“Thank you.”Qin Tian thanked him earnestly, and his sincere demeanor made the others a little unaccustomed to it.“No need to thank me, these were all left by our previous teammate.”Qin Dadi’s voice was low. “Only in the hands of [N O V E L I G H T] a marksman will such a good gun not be left to gather dust.”“Yunlong, let Qin Tian try the other things too.”“Okay.”Xiao Yunlong took out several other items from the box: a silver combat suit, a laser pistol, a magazine pouch, a multi-functional combat helmet…When all the items were fully equipped, a stern and resolute special forces soldier appeared before everyone. His facial features were sharp, and beneath the transparent visor, his eyes revealed coolness and calmness.The three of them felt a momentary trance, as if they saw a familiar shadow overlapping with Qin Tian.Whoosh~Qin Dadi took a deep breath, his eyes clearing. Qin Tian was not Huang Xun; he was not anyone’s replacement.“Qin Tian, these things are yours from now on. I hope you can use them well.” Qin Dadi patted Qin Tian’s shoulder, his tone tinged with emotion, as if entrusting him with the most precious items.Qin Tian nodded, his movement very light, but the determination in his eyes was heavy and strong.He could actually guess that Qin Dadi and the others were so considerate towards him largely because of their previous teammate, and that person was most likely the original owner of 【Absolute Gun Sense】.But no matter the reason, he would thank the Earth Dragon Squad and was very fortunate to have come to such a team.Beep beep beepJust then, Qin Dadi’s wristband suddenly emitted a rapid sound.He raised his arm and glanced at it, saying in a deep voice:“A mission has arrived.”“Captain Qin, what mission?” Xiao Yunlong asked.Qin Dadi’s tone was chilling: “A group of wildcats are loitering near our camp. Headquarters has ordered us to skin them.”“It’s those cat-people again.”Liu Zhaozhao frowned, and a ball of crimson flame abruptly rose from her palm.The heat wave spread outwards, and the room temperature soared.Qin Tian’s eyelids drooped slightly, and ripples stirred in his heart.Flame ability?What kind of world is this, after all?
