Chapter 95

Jiang Guiti shouted loudly, "I, Jiang, have lost! This Brother Chen has won!"

Then everyone saw Jiang Guiti take off the protective gear around his neck to show everyone. The wooden blocks and the leather underneath were actually broken into two pieces!

There were many people who could break the wooden blocks with one palm, but the leather was extremely tough, and only a few could break it with one palm. Moreover, Jiang Guiti's attack was extremely fast, and Chen Fei managed to strike and break the protective gear in such a short time!

As the saying goes, "An expert shows his skill, and you know if he's the real deal!" With this move, Jiang Guiti knew that his skills were far inferior to Chen Fei's! Therefore, he lost with a clear conscience!

Jiang Guiti was also straightforward and shouted, "Brother Chen, I am no match for you! I, Jiang, am convinced!"

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Liu Kunyi originally intended to humiliate Lin Yuan and Chen Fei, but he didn't expect Chen Fei to be an expert, who made Jiang Guiti submit wholeheartedly. He was determined to find a way to get back at them.

So Liu Kunyi had a sudden idea and said, "Lord Lin must be well-versed in battle. Nowadays, firearms are the foundation of the battlefield, while hand-to-hand combat is secondary. Why don't we have a shooting competition tomorrow?"

Lin Yuan was quite confident in his shooting skills, but Liu Kunyi added, "Our shooting competition will be different from the usual ones. We will compete in rapid fire."

Lin Yuan asked, "How exactly is rapid fire?"

Liu Kunyi explained, "Within a certain time, we will use our chosen weapons to see who scores more points."

Lin Yuan smiled and agreed.

It was already lunchtime, and Liu Kunyi said with a smile, "Lord Lin, let's go have a meal together."

Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "No need, I'll eat with the soldiers."

Liu Kunyi and his aides frowned. An aide advised, "Lord Lin, how can a noble person like you eat with lowly soldiers?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "All men are created equal, there is no such thing as noble and lowly."

The others didn't understand but didn't force him. So Lin Yuan and Chen Fei went to eat with the soldiers.

Lin Yuan's feat of drinking down a dozen people at the banquet had already spread among the soldiers, and Chen Fei's recent victory over Jiang Guiti was also witnessed by everyone. As a result, everyone treated them like gods.

The food in the camp was not particularly delicious, but the portions were generous. Each person got two steamed buns, which contained bran. Bran is the outer shell of wheat, and the well-known flour is made from the inner part of the wheat, with the bran removed. In ancient times, when food was scarce, the bran was eaten along with the wheat.

The only dish served was boiled cabbage, but everyone still enjoyed it. Chen Fei, a special forces soldier, had received wilderness survival training and had eaten all sorts of disgusting things. Lin Yuan, a pilot, had also received similar training, so even though the food was not tasty, they could still eat it.

At this moment, a soldier next to Lin Yuan said, "Lord Lin, when will we go to war?"

Lin Yuan replied, "It should be soon. Why, are you looking forward to it?"

The soldier laughed and said, "Of course, we get meat before the battle! We earn money if we win, and with money, we can buy more meat!"

Another soldier said, "You're looking forward to it? If you die in battle, you won't get to eat anymore!"

The first soldier replied, "Dying is better than starving to death!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself, "For most people in this era, being able to eat enough is already a rare thing. It seems that it will take a long time to make the Qing Dynasty as prosperous as 21st-century China!"

At this moment, a soldier said, "Lord Lin, if Liu Kunyi challenges you to a shooting competition, I think you might lose."

Lin Yuan thought, "My shooting skills are not inferior to Liu Kunyi's. Why would he say that?" So he asked, "Why do you think so?"

The soldier replied, "Liu Kunyi has a very fast gun. It's a strange gun with a rotating wheel, and the bullets are in that wheel. It fires very quickly. If you use the same gun as me, you will definitely lose."

Lin Yuan immediately realized that the gun the soldier was referring to was the revolver, which Liu Kunyi had somehow obtained. The gun Lin Yuan would use would be the same as the soldiers'.

Lin Yuan knew that the soldiers' guns were called the New Rapid Fire Gun, which was a domestic imitation of foreign five-shot rifles. This gun had a magazine that could hold five bullets, and after firing, the user only needed to pull back the bolt to eject the spent shell and load the next bullet. Even so, the firing rate of this gun was much slower than that of a revolver.

However, Lin Yuan was not worried because he had a faster gun.

After lunch, Lin Yuan went to see Zhang Hua and asked, "Do you have your gun?"

Zhang Hua nodded and said, "Yes."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Can I borrow it?"

Zhang Hua took a small box from his bag, opened it, and inside was a 92-style 5.8mm pistol. He pushed the box to Lin Yuan and said, "Bring me some cigarettes when you're done. I can't smoke anymore."

Lin Yuan bid farewell to Zhang Hua and, thinking of Guan'er, went to stay at the Dream Fairy Building for the night. The next day, he and Chen Fei went to the training ground from the previous day.

As soon as they arrived, a servant led them to another courtyard, where there were fewer people, but all were military officers. Liu Kunyi was already waiting there. After some pleasantries, the shooting competition began.

A military officer acted as the referee, holding a foreign watch and said, "The rules of the competition: each side has one minute to shoot, using their own guns. The one with the most points wins."

After some polite exchanges, Liu Kunyi shot first. He waved his hand, and a servant brought a fancy wooden box. Inside was a Colt revolver. Liu Kunyi picked up the revolver, glanced at Lin Yuan with a smug look, and walked to the shooting position. At the referee's command, Liu Kunyi fired six shots in quick succession.

Both were shooting at a target 25 meters away, so Lin Yuan could see the bullets hitting the target. He noticed that Liu Kunyi's shooting skills were quite good, with each shot scoring around eight points. After six shots, Liu Kunyi quickly changed the cylinder and fired again. In one minute, Liu Kunyi changed the cylinder twice, scoring 140 points with 14 bullets.

Chen Fei whispered to Lin Yuan, "Liu Kunyi's shooting speed is too slow, and his cylinder-changing speed is even slower."

Lin Yuan joked, "Comrade Special Shooter, take a break. Who doesn't shoot slowly?"

It was Lin Yuan's turn to shoot. Liu Kunyi gave a signal to his subordinate, who brought a New Rapid Fire Gun to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan smiled and said, "No need to trouble yourself, I have my own gun."

With that, Lin Yuan took out a box, removed the 92-style 5.8mm pistol, and two magazines, and walked to the shooting position.
