133: Chapter 133 One shot from the east, one shot from the west, both good brothers share the spoils~

"Bang!"

Watching through the scope as, a few milliseconds after the gunshot rang out, the monkey's head suddenly burst open on the spot and it plummeted straight down from the tree canopy.

Chu Hong smiled and skillfully pulled the bolt.

An extended barrel, a silenced muzzle, plus a 3/7x scope.

A target at 370 meters, killed with a single headshot.

The [Ecological Observation Tower] where Chu Hong was standing at this moment was over ninety meters tall, equivalent to the height of a large ultra-high-voltage transmission tower.

And it was also at this moment that Chu Hong was surprised to find that, observing from this height,

let alone the opposite West Bank [Huaxi Wharf],

even, Chu Hong found that with the effect of the "Transparent World" from his [cobweb brain-computer interface] display case, he could even spot the [Transport Line Station] a thousand meters away.

It's just that to ensure the bullet's power, this shot would consume a bit more Source Energy.

"Click!"

Another round of golden quality 7 ammunition was chambered.

The [Special Weapons Department] gave 60 rounds upon entering the match; even if he couldn't finish shooting them, he wouldn't be able to keep them for himself upon returning, as they would be forcibly reclaimed by the [Special Service Department].

Chu Hong simply gave up on the idea of exploiting this loophole.

However... the bots in this [Primitive Valley No. 1] map were about to suffer.

Inside the scope.

A sniper watchtower standing on the edge of the cliff, which could instantly launch attacks against anyone coming out of the [Old Logging Camp], was chosen by Chu Hong as his next target.

On the watchtower, a [Palino Group] sniper was standing in a leisurely posture, pacing back and forth at times and stopping still at others.

Chu Hong adjusted his breathing.

Finally, the exact moment the [Palino Group] sniper stopped again,

"Bang!"

the gunshot rang out, but on the screen inside the scope, the sniper was completely fine.

Chu Hong was not in a rush.

One second, two seconds...

Suddenly, the sniper in the scope fell backward flat on the ground.

"Seventeenth..."

Chu Hong murmured, his hands already lifting the [inheritor sv-98] and setting it up directly on a sniper rifle platform he had prepared on the side.

The elevated soft cushion, coupled with the built-in wind speed meter on the [Ecological Observation Tower],

made this place simply the best position prepared specifically for a sniper rifle.

Selecting position... The rock pile above the [Waterfall Cave].

Selecting target... A large chimpanzee lying leisurely on a rock, sunbathing.

Chambering the bullet, adjusting the scope magnification...

From start to finish, it took no more than twenty seconds before Chu Hong's finger slowly rested on the trigger once again.

"Bang!"

The bullet penetrated the large chimpanzee's head, even blasting a shallow pit into the rock it was lying on.

Blood mixed with brain matter, and amid the panicked and angry screeches of monkeys, the mutated monkeys on the [Waterfall Cave] were instantly startled.

However.

Even if they racked their brains right now, they would never imagine

that the Grim Reaper, who had thrown them into utter panic, was leisurely readjusting his sniper position once again, aiming his muzzle at [Huaxi Wharf] on the opposite bank.

"Eighteenth..."

There were a total of four extraction points on the [Primitive Valley No. 1] map.

Aside from the [Waterfall Cave Helicopter Extraction Point], which, in Chu Hong's view, would definitely not be unlocked by new [Pioneers] taking on benchmark assessment tasks until completion,

among the remaining three extraction points,

the conventional [Northern East Bank Mudflat] extraction point had no cover around it at all, sitting completely under his crosshairs.

And the paid extraction point, [Huaxi Wharf Cargo Ship],

could also be clearly seen by him...

"Tsk tsk tsk, if this is coordinated properly, having a teammate pull the switch at the [Transport Line Station] at the start of the match to send away the one-time-use train extraction point, and then coming straight to my position to set up a sniper rifle..."

"Holy crap, I really am a super CS..."

Chu Hong muttered to himself mockingly in his heart.

Yet his hands had already aimed at a [Palino] armed personnel at [Huaxi Wharf] and instantly pulled the trigger.

In the scope, this shot shook a bit.

Although it still killed the opponent with a single shot,

it failed to achieve a headshot kill...

"Tsk..."

Chu Hong curled his lip and turned his muzzle back toward the mutated monkeys.

The alert and commotion at the [Waterfall Cave] had already subsided.

With the meager intelligence of these monkeys, after failing to figure out why the big dark guy's head had burst open like a rotten watermelon while sleeping soundly, they simply stopped thinking about it.

Having "dried monkey meat" visible everywhere even inside the cave,

they wouldn't care at all about a chimpanzee corpse sunbathing beside them.

They went back to whatever they were doing.

A mutated monkey was holding a lighter it found somewhere, scratching its ears and cheeks while studying it. Suddenly, as if having made some decision, it aggressively bared its fangs and bit down on it.

"Bang!"

"Ooh gagaga!"

The commotion of a head bursting open gave the surrounding monkeys a huge scare.

They blankly watched their companion's headless corpse roll limply off the rock, fall into the stream, and then slide down along the waterfall...

They all looked at each other in dismay, not understanding what novel method of death this fellow had researched this time.

Chu Hong let out a strange laugh: "What an old veteran actor!"

Nineteenth...

Sixty rounds of ammunition—Chu Hong shot very cautiously, but also very quickly.

The Source Energy points in his account weren't very many, but he could still afford the 100k Source Energy point task acceptance fee.

The 40-headshot task was easily completed in front of the ubiquitous "bot" targets among the mutated monkeys.

"Bang!"

When Chu Hong adjusted his breathing, his marksmanship seemingly empowered, he landed a headshot and killed an ordinary Palino bot grunt at the [Outer Outpost] by the entrance of the [Parino Valley Base].

The task prompt from the [Special Service Department] rang in his ear.

[Weapon Trial Task]: "inheritor sv-98" — Entering the Fray (Completed).

Without hesitation, Chu Hong quickly climbed down from the [Ecological Observation Tower], his objective clear all the way as he dashed straight toward the [Waterfall Cave].

With the help of the "Transparent World" from the [cobweb brain-computer interface], Chu Hong easily bypassed the mutated monkey pack, whose defenses had grown thin after his "roll call".

And entered the interior of the cave.

"Let the flowers come!"

"Tapatapa..."

The monkeys on patrol wore clear astonishment when they saw a human suddenly rushing toward them inside the cave.

"Puchi!"

The saber [source blade] decapitated a blocking monkey with a single slash, and its life energy was torn into Chu Hong's body by the esper ability [Slaughter Overlord].

In a flash, by the time the monkeys came to their senses,

Chu Hong had already charged deep into the cave.

"Ooh gagaga!!!"

The piercing and angry roars made the entire [Waterfall Cave] boisterous and boiling.

And at this moment, Chu Hong had already arrived at his target location.

Looking at the [Lord of the Ape Clan: Codename Primitive One], who was completely uninjured and staring at him with full murderous intent.

Seeing that nothing had spawned at the place where the [mother of the forest] spawned,

Chu Hong's response was to open his hands, revealing two [golden apple]s that appeared on his left and right sides.

"Good things should be shared together. Come, one for you, one for me..."

All the Source Energy was injected into the two [golden apple]s respectively.

Chu Hong threw one at his own feet.

And smashed the other directly toward the boss.

"Boom!"

"Boom——!"

[Investigation Area: Primitive Valley No. 1 (Confidential)]

[Extraction Failed]

[Action Time: 47:22:01]

[Harvest Value of This Action: 0 Source Energy Points]

[Cause of Death: Accidental Death]

Chu Hong didn't care about these. Instead, he immediately came before the [Special Weapons Department] and looked at the new task appearing within the light screen.

[Weapon Trial Task]: "inheritor sv-98" — A Minor Demonstration of Skill

[Task Processing Fee]: 500k Source Energy Points

[Task Provision]: 60 rounds of 7-grade golden quality ammunition

[Task Content]: Equip only the weapon "inheritor sv-98" to enter any confidential-level or higher Investigation area, and headshot-kill 60 enemy targets.

[Task Reward]: Skins can be brought into the combat zone

Chu Hong's eye twitched fiercely.

Not only had the processing fee increased, but the number of required headshot targets had also increased, and furthermore, there were still only sixty bullets.

"Hiss, you call this task a minor demonstration of skill? Shouldn't this be called Bullseye?"
