64: Look, this gun can really shoot it down.
Everyone immediately took a few steps back.
Exactly.
Huang Jingyu had at least practiced for a few months, whereas Lin Pei reportedly hadn't practiced much at all.
His aim was bound to be even worse.
Lin Pei walked under the tree, holding the gun.
He turned to ask Hai Qing.
"Which one do you want?"
Hai Qing's eyes widened.
"What? I can even choose?"
"It's already a struggle just to shoot one down."
But she played along anyway.
"I can't see clearly, so let's go with that biggest one in the cluster."
Huang Jingyu was dumbfounded.
"Buddy, stop joking."
"If you can even graze the skin of a coconut, I'll consider you impressive."
"The difficulty of grazing a specific coconut is no less than making Mars habitable for humans."
The crowd was also getting a bit impatient.
They had been waiting for a long time.
Why was he still wasting time bragging?
Lin Texian hadn't expected this either.
He let him go try it, and the guy actually started challenging the role of a sharpshooter.
Crucially, it sounded impossible.
Statistically, the probability was many times lower.
*Bang!*
Lin Pei barely even aimed before firing the gun.
Everyone looked toward the coconuts.
The coconuts didn't budge an inch.
The bullet had also flown off into the sky.
Huang Jingyu felt like he'd been misled.
"Don't say it, I actually had a moment of anticipation just now."
"I didn't expect you to be even worse than me."
"Why didn't you even bother to aim properly?"
Lin Texian also felt misled.
He had also thought Lin Pei might be capable.
Even if he couldn't target a specific coconut.
There was still hope he could graze one and knock it down.
Who knew the bullet would just fly into the sky?
As expected of a professional, their Action Director was right.
The distance was too great and the gun wasn't professional; normally, it would be impossible to shoot a coconut down.
The Action Director wasn't surprised at all.
Although this Lin Pei's technique looked very professional, it couldn't compensate for the lack of objective conditions.
To shoot down a coconut, you'd have to change guns.
The crowd was also getting a bit anxious.
"How about we just forget it?"
"Let the kid go up; the little guy is about to cry from frustration."
That black child was indeed nearly in tears from anxiety.
Something he could accomplish in two minutes was being dragged out by these people.
He vaguely guessed the lady was afraid he'd fall and die if he went up.
But if they waited any longer, he was afraid he'd die of anger instead.
Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves.
He heard the brother holding the gun say something to him.
"Don't worry."
???
What language was that? He couldn't understand it.
No, he absolutely had to go up this time.
His little black hand had just touched the trunk when he heard a *bang*.
*Thud!*
A coconut fell at the sound.
The little kid was stunned.
Did he really shoot it down?
That brother didn't even aim?
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
Wait.
Seeing him fire so casually.
And it just fell down like that?
Lin Pei turned to ask Hai Qing.
"Check if that's the one you wanted?"
Hai Qing's already wide eyes were now as big as copper bells.
"What did you say?"
"This is the one I pointed to?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Looking up, she was dumbfounded.
Huang Jingyu was startled.
"Sister, don't stare like that, I'm scared."
Hai Qing was almost in tears.
"My god, this really is the one I pointed to."
Startled, Huang Jingyu also looked up at the top of the tree.
"For real? It must be a coincidence, right?"
"Didn't you miss just now?"
Lin Pei smiled.
"I was just testing the feel of it earlier."
Everyone else was also shocked.
He really did just fire casually earlier, and he actually shot it down?
The Action Director didn't snap out of it for a long time.
No.
He shot it down, fine.
But he would bet his head that with this crappy gun, he definitely couldn't aim at a coconut that far away.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He felt that this Lin Pei guy was prone to bragging.
Walking under the tree, he looked at Lin Pei.
"Lin Pei, right?"
"I admire that you shot this coconut down."
"But if you say you aimed for that specific one, I feel it's necessary to refute you."
Hai Qing was still excited.
"No, Director, he really did shoot it down."
"It was the exact one I specified!"
The Action Director was nearly deafened by Hai Qing's shout.
"I know."
"I'm saying he just got lucky."
"I explained it earlier, our Film Crew's crappy..."
"This Prop Gun cannot be aimed from this distance."
"How about you shoot again and see if you can still hit one."
The Director, not far away, hurried over to mediate.
Filming hadn't even started yet; it wouldn't be good for the instructor and the actor to have a conflict.
"Lin Pei, that was a good shot."
"But our instructor is right, this isn't a professional gun after all, it's a lot of work to shoot it."
"Don't shoot the rest, just let the kid go up and pick them."
He knew very well the quality of the Prop Gun.
Although Lin Pei had high talent and good skills, even a good soldier can't overcome bad equipment.
If he can't aim but still hits the target, wouldn't that be divine?
Hai Qing wasn't having it.
"Hey, Director, Lin Pei clearly shot it down."
"Let him keep shooting."
"Maybe he can shoot them all down."
Huang Jingyu picked up Hai Qing's thread.
"Exactly, let him keep going."
"Since he's so confident, what could be the problem?"
He clearly thought Lin Pei had just gotten lucky earlier.
If he shot again, he'd surely be like himself—failing every single time.
Lin Pei looked at the coconuts on the tree and waved his hand.
"Director, it's really no trouble, I'll get them one by one."
"It should be faster than that kid."
!!!
Everyone was stunned again.
The instructor had already made it so clear that the gun was no good.
Yet Lin Pei still dared to say one shot, one coconut.
Was he addicted to bragging?
Lin Texian was a bit anxious; why was this young man acting like a sharpshooter at a time like this?
If he showed off now and couldn't shoot the coconuts down in a moment, wouldn't he be the one losing face?
Huang Jingyu's dropped jaw finally closed after a while, and he let out two cold chuckles.
"What boastful talk, truly boastful."
"Please, go ahead!"
Beside the tree, the Little Black Kid was so anxious he started speaking the local language.
"Balabala..."
Lin Pei raised his hand and fired a shot at the tree.
*Bang!*
*Thud!*
Another coconut fell to the ground at the sound.
The Little Black Kid blurted out something everyone could understand.
"Oh... my... God!"
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Huang Jingyu's jaw went into freefall again.
Then he followed the kid and said, "Oh my God!"
"Wait, buddy."
"You shot another one down?"
"This crappy gun can really shoot them down?"
Refusing to believe it, he hopped over to Lin Pei and touched the gun.
*Hiss.*
"It is mine."
"My name is still pasted on the bottom here."
"This gun is working now?"
He lifted the gun and aimed at the tree.
*Bang!*
It went into the sky again... Huang Jingyu barely dodged the bullet falling back from the sky.
His face might as well have had the words "questioning life" written on it.
His eyes blinked rapidly as he looked at Lin Pei.
"Buddy, these coconuts... did you really shoot them down with this gun?"
Lin Pei found it a bit baffling.
"Otherwise? With my head?"
