Mercenary's War

Limited time, limited distance. If you pursue accuracy, you won’t make it on time; if you pursue speed, you won’t achieve precision. That’s the hardest part.

Ten seconds for ten shots, meaning one shot per second. If it were within a hundred meters, Gao Yang could do it with his eyes closed, but this is One thousand meters.

99.99% of people cannot view ten human-shaped targets through a scope within ten seconds at One thousand meters. Seeing is impossible, let alone shooting and hitting them.

Gao Yang felt he might be able to complete it, but Alexander saw hope.

"You’ve had too short a time with the gun and have only shot forty bullets in total. If you were more familiar with this gun, the results would definitely be different."

Gao Yang had never shot targets like this before, nor had he shot targets so far away in such a short time. Considering it’s his first attempt, the result is actually not bad. With more practice, the effect would definitely be better.

But the problem is that no matter how much he practices, he won’t be able to hit all ten targets. Gao Yang recalled his shooting process: he just swept the gun across the area with the targets, quickly fired as soon as he saw a target without careful aim, then immediately moved to find the next target, without even observing the shooting result.

As long as the bet doesn’t change, more practice will only be the same because the content of this bet has indeed exceeded human limits.

Gao Yang looked at Jack, loudly saying, "Can the performance really achieve it? How did you experiment before?"

Jack shrugged and said, "Theoretical performance is definitely sufficient, but no one can prove it, and machines can’t prove it either because there’s simply no such machine."

Alexander eagerly faced Gao Yang and said, "Practice! You just need time to familiarize yourself. We have hope!"

Gao Yang gave a bitter smile, saying to Alexander, "Practice would improve the effect, but for how long? A day? A month? A year? If I engage for a long time, I really might be able to do it. I have that confidence, but I don’t have time to practice a skill that’s basically useless."

Alexander knew Gao Yang was speaking the truth, and he could only sigh heavily.

Gao Yang pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I think giving me a month’s time to practice would be sufficient. Whether it works or not, a month’s time will be able to determine. I will take the gun with me, and I will use all my spare time to practice. It’s not just for helping you; as shooters, you understand a shooter won’t refuse such a challenge."

Alexander heavily said, "Taking the gun is no problem, but the problem is I don’t have time. We don’t have a month; only a week left, to be precise, eight days, because a bet surely has a time limit. I set a goal to prove it within a month, and today is the twenty-second day."

Gao Yang chuckled a few times, saying to Alexander, "Buddy, what were you thinking when you set such a bet with someone?"

Alexander said desperately, "I just, I was just too happy and drank a few more cups at the time."

Even though Alexander is much older, Gao Yang couldn’t help but pat Alexander’s shoulder, then whispered, "Buddy, it’s said that alcohol is a shooter’s taboo, you can’t get too carried away!"

Alexander nodded deeply in agreement, then whispered, "When I was younger, at my peak, I tried this shooting style, and my best achievement was two hits out of ten, but I used a Barrett. Now with this gun, I can get four hits out of ten at best."

Aurora is a Legendary Mercenary Group, and Alexander is the legendary shooter who led Aurora.

Upon hearing Alexander say he had tried this shooting style before, Gao Yang suddenly paused and said, "So you’re still the strongest yourself."

Alexander nodded in silence.

Gao Yang remained silent for a long time, then slowly said, "My time is very tight, but I should be able to spare a week. During this week, I want to practice more. Is the bet limited to that shooting range?"

Alexander shook his head, saying in a serious tone, "No, as long as it’s not an indoor shooting range. So we can find a place with good terrain and not much strong wind, anywhere nationwide in America is fine."

Gao Yang looked around and suddenly said, "No, right here."

"Here? But this is a plateau area, and there’s often mountain wind here..."

Gao Yang said in a deep voice, "I don’t think there’s time to find a new range. Most importantly, I like it here."

Alexander kept a close eye on Gao Yang, then nodded heavily, loudly saying, "One week, you help me shoot! Whether we win or lose, I’ll owe you a favor. Besides, if you win, I’ll pay you five million US Dollar as a reward!"

Alexander really went all out.

After all, Alexander has money, and he completely doesn’t care about money. Since he’s spent tens of millions just to develop a good gun in his mind, he certainly wouldn’t mind spending five million more to prove his gun.

To some extent, proving himself is more important, so hiring someone for five million US Dollar just for one shot is astronomical, but extremely worthwhile to Alexander.

Gao Yang nodded and then suddenly said, "How to confirm the wager? How to determine who among you lost?"

Alexander said seriously, "Shoot a match in front of Max, and many people will be watching. If it’s not done, or if I don’t respond by the time limit, it’s my loss. I’ve decided, no matter how your practice results turn out, a week later we have Max come over. I can lose the bet in front of many people, but I can’t back down. So, if by then you don’t want to perform, I will personally go on stage."

Gao Yang nodded, saying, "This week, clear the site, and don’t let anyone irrelevant disturb me. Rabbit stays, Crow stays, Jack stays, and Alexander, you stay too, so you can help me if there are any issues."

Alexander immediately said, "No problem."

Gao Yang turned around, grabbed Yelena’s hand, earnestly saying, "Dear, I’m sorry. You have to leave. I really hate to be apart from you, but I need to fully commit to my training. I..."

Yelena nodded gently, softly saying, "I understand. I’ll go back first and come back a week later. I want to see you accomplish miracles that others can’t!"

Gao Yang smiled and nodded, then said to Joseph, "Take my girlfriend back, and then take a week’s leave."

Casually instructing Joseph, Gao Yang said to Alexander, "Prepare a bedroom for me that should be quiet, with a hard bed but not too hard. I choose to go sleep, and for dinner, I want Huaxia food. Let Rabbit take you to buy the kitchenware he needs, and he can make dinner for me. When I wake up, we’ll start training."
