It wasn't until the bullet disappeared from sight that the roar of the explosion sounded in Shen Qian's ears.
However, Shen Qian had already prepared in advance, so he directly blocked his hearing, but his body still shook a few times from the powerful backlash.
This is 30,000 kilograms of destructive kinetic energy. A normal sniper needs to use a "shooting sun" sniper, and even needs to wear special protective clothing, otherwise he is likely to be injured first after firing a shot.
"Let's go and have a look."
Shen Qian stood up with the big sniper in hand, and the great sage jumped on Shen Qian's shoulders.
Phew!
As the strong wind passed by, one person and one monkey disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, Shen Qian was already standing in a forest 1,800 meters away.
This forest is strangely black, the ground is scorched earth, the trees are pitch black, there is no vegetation on it, and there is a hazy mist everywhere, and something seems to be wandering in it, which is quite penetrating.
However, this kind of scenery is only normal in the restricted area, so Shen Qian is already used to it.
He focused his gaze on a tree trunk in front of him.
The body of a demonic beast was tied to the trunk of the tree. It was a Di sheep that is relatively common in restricted areas, but the one in front of me was considered the king. Judging from the horns that shone with a cold luster, it should be a V-level demonic beast. He has a strength that is close to the peak of a Chinese martial artist.
Shen Qian's eyes moved around Di Yang's body and finally landed on its neck.
He raised the low-hanging sheep's head and could see that a small part of Di Yang's neck had strangely disappeared.
"What a pity, I almost missed it..."
Shen Qian exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The position he aimed at was the sheep's head.
But the bullet obviously missed a little, and only missed Di Yang's neck.
Shen walked forward and finally found the bullet's impact point about one kilometer away from Di Yang.
A black hole with a diameter of about half a meter appeared on the ground. To the naked eye, it was bottomless.
Shen Qian stepped lightly with the soles of his feet, and with a rumbling sound, nearly a hundred meters of land and the trees on it instantly collapsed, revealing a huge fragmented pit and scorched earth burning with sparks.
It’s hard to imagine what it would be like if this kind of power exploded in the human body?
"The 132nd shot, 1,800 meters, error 7 centimeters..."
Shen Qian took out a small notebook from somewhere and quickly wrote down something in it.
The dense data on it represents Shen Qian’s progress.
From the first shot's error of more than twenty meters to less than ten centimeters now, this rate of progress, at least based on what Shen Qian learned from some internal military forums, is... terrifying.
An ordinary sniper can be called a genius if he can accurately hit a target within a thousand meters within one year of starting training.
Shen Qian is not sure how much of this is due to his relatively high starting point.
But one thing is for sure, Shen Qian does seem to be somewhat gifted in shooting.
After eighteen years of life, among the extremely ordinary life templates, Shen Qian finally found something that he was good at.
"Just arrive in the Magic City on time in eleven days. There is still plenty of time, so be sure to truly master this killing technique!"
Shen Qian let out a breath and added another item to his wish list for this trip to the restricted area.
According to his own assumptions, the bullets within five thousand meters would be perfect...
This is the goal he set for himself.
The maximum effective range of Shooting Sun, when all psychic powers are turned on, can reach a terrifying fifty thousand meters.
Fifty thousand meters...that’s fifty kilometers!
This is such a terrible distance.
So Shen Qian felt that he just wanted to master the five-kilometer killing radius, which was not a particularly outrageous ambition.
Although, among military warriors, this is something that only an ace sniper can do.
So far, only from the information obtained from internal forums, the record of sniper kills recorded by Sunshot is as far as 19,800 meters.
In other words, the shooting distance of 50,000 meters is actually just a theoretical value announced by the Department of Military Industry.
After all, at such a long distance, there are too many uncontrollable factors. To cross fifty kilometers to snipe an enemy is a bit of a fantasy no matter how you look at it.
"But there are not enough bullets, I have to buy more..."
Shen Qian thought about it for a while, then sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out a golden ball from his arms, and his consciousness sank directly into it.
The emperor monkey also immediately jumped to a tree in the distance to keep watch for Shen Qian.
……
"Mr. Shen, which province are you currently in?"
As soon as she entered the Hall of Hundred Kings, Wan Ning, who was wearing a black suspender skirt and long stockings, asked Shen Qiandao with a smile.
Shen Qian glanced at Wan Ning's attire and sighed slightly.
It seems that after being together for so long, the other party already knows how to dress himself.
I already have long legs of over 1.7 meters, so the advantages of dressing up like this are fully demonstrated.
"Ahem, it should be the second province of Shannan..."
"Shannan?" Wan Ning asked in astonishment, "You... are lost again?"
"What do you mean by 'getting lost again'? I just saw the beautiful scenery here and stopped by for a stroll." Shen Qian corrected her seriously.
"Giggle... Then Mr. Shen, you will enable the positioning permission to me soon, and I will send the surrounding information and the best route to your bracelet."
Wan Ning covered her mouth and smiled, but did not correct Shen Qian.
"Well, if you have nothing to do, please log off first. I'll go shopping in the mall."
Shen Qian waved his hands.
"Mr. Shen... if you still have time later, you can check out the online community. The community has been very active recently, and there may be useful information."
Wan Ning reminded Shen Qian before leaving.
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then clicked into the points redemption system of Baiwang Palace.
To be fair, the treasures that can be redeemed in the Palace of Hundred Kings are not very many, but the advantages are that they are complete in variety, and some commonly used consumables can be exchanged without restrictions, such as... special psychic bullets for sniper rifles.
Even though Shen Qian is already a school-level officer, there is a quota for the number of bullets he can receive each year.
He can receive up to 1,000 rounds of No. 2 sniper bullets for shooting the sun every year.
Who can use this little amount?
...Although considering that normal people would not directly use live ammunition when practicing sniper rifles, Shen Qian has the luxury of confidence.
In the exchange system, Shen Qian quickly found the No. 2 sniper bullet, and one contribution point can be exchanged for ten bullets.
From this perspective, bullets are really expensive.
You must know that if a little contribution value is converted into 300,000 Chinese coins, it is equivalent to a bullet worth 30,000 yuan.
The items in the Hall of Hundred Kings are sold for welfare to members, which means that their true value to the outside world is probably more than 30,000.
The wealthy Shen Qian exchanged three thousand rounds of ammunition with his eyes closed.
Although he has not done anything in the Hundred Kings Palace recently and even spent a lot of money, as of now, the contribution value in his account still exceeds 2,500 points.
Wait until he sinks before going to certify his cultivation. The reward for improving his realm will be at least several hundred points. Naturally, he won't take it seriously if he has a contribution value of 300 points.
After getting the bullets, Shen Qian clicked on the "Exotic Treasures" column again, and then set his sights on one of the redeemable treasures.
"Source Stone!"
Shen Qian is not unfamiliar with this special stone.
Shen Qian once took away a hundred kilograms of Taoist stones from Meiyuan. The Taoist stones are precious materials used to arrange the Heaven-Seizing Formation, and the Origin Stone is the companion of the Taoist stones.
The most important thing is that the source stone is a crystal with highly compressed energy.
In other words, it can be absorbed directly by the system.
The last time Shen Qian passed through Tantai Qin, he obtained a large amount of source stones after annihilating the "Gate", so that the system could replenish the energy at once.
There are Dao Stones in the exchange system of the Hall of Hundred Kings, so there will naturally be Source Stones as well.
What really puts Shen Qian in a dilemma is its exchange price.
One pound of Dao Stone has a contribution value of 100 points. Source Stone is relatively cheaper, but one pound of Source Stone also requires ten contribution points.
It may not sound like much, but the key issue is quantity...
The last time all the Origin Stones in Tantai Qin's necklace were absorbed by the system, the system's energy was only replenished to more than 80%. At that time, Tantai Qin's necklace contained at least a thousand kilograms of Origin Stones.
In other words, if Shen Qian wants to replenish energy through the exchange system of Baiwang Palace, his current contribution value is far from enough.
A contribution of 2,500 points can only exchange for 250 kilograms of Origin Stone at most, which is only enough to replenish the system's energy to 40%.
Extremely uneconomical.
Therefore, Shen Qian did not intend to take this method unless he had no other choice.
During this period, Shen Qian also studied it carefully and found that the system is actually not picky, and any form of energy is acceptable.
For example, when Shen Qian first obtained the system, it directly drained the power of the three nuclear power plants in Jingcheng.
In other words, wind energy, water energy, electric energy, nuclear energy... these can all be absorbed by the system.
But the quantity needs to be a lot.
For now, these energy centers are concentrated in major cities. With Shen Qian's current status, it is impossible for him to do another stupid thing that drains the energy of the entire city.
So in theory, Source Stone is the best to use.
"When I can't make it in time, I will use the Hundred Kings Palace to exchange part of it. At worst, I can exchange the money directly for contribution value. The contribution value of 6,000 points is 1.8 billion, which is not something I can't afford..."
Shen Qian thought about it for a while, and this was his last resort.
But his wealth will be reduced by half in an instant.
The roar of the emperor monkey woke up Shen Qian, and he hurriedly retreated from the Hall of Hundred Kings. After concentrating on the feeling, Shen Qian nodded slightly to the great sage, indicating that the other party should not be nervous.
Phew!
The sky was cut open, and a black-robed man wrapped in a cloak came through the air, and then landed one meter away with a "bang".
"Express delivery!"
A hoarse voice came from under the cloak, and at the same time the person handed over a huge metal box, which was the sniper bullet Shen Qian ordered ten minutes ago.
"You are so efficient!"
Shen Qian sighed again and took the metal box from the cloaked strongman.
But the other party still didn't say a word. He nodded before sinking, then stood up and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Shen Qian watched the other party leave, with thoughts in his mind.
If the first nine kings have disappeared, then who is controlling the Hundred Kings Palace?
At least from Shen Qian's feeling, the Hundred Kings Palace has an extremely strict operating system, but there must be someone behind it to control it.
Or maybe the Star Council suspended in mid-air is the manipulator behind the scenes?
After all, Wan Ning said at the beginning that the Star Council determines the daily affairs of the Hundred Kings Palace.
Shen Qian thought about it, and suddenly his heart moved.
He remembered what Wan Ning had reminded him just now, and simply sank his consciousness into the Hall of Hundred Kings, and then sat on the throne.
The scenery before his eyes changed, and when Shen Qian came to his senses again, he was already sitting in the magnificent hall.
Under the dome made of magnificent stars, there are thirteen huge thrones in mid-air, which are the exclusive thrones of the Star Council.
What surprised Shen Qian was that there were figures on two of the thrones at this moment.
Prince!
Since Shen Qian entered the Hundred Kings Palace, this was the first time he saw princes online in the Hundred Kings Palace community, and there were two of them as soon as they appeared.
Although their faces cannot be seen clearly, the two princes each have a number on their head.
1 and 14.
Shen Qian's eyes narrowed.
Assuming that his original guess was correct and everyone's numbers were sorted according to the number of people in existence, then Prince No. 1, even if he was not the first to join the Hall of Hundred Kings, was certainly one of the earliest members.
"Hey, another kid is online."
As if aware of Shen Qian's gaze, Prince No. 14 smiled.
"If I remember correctly, No. 98 should be the second person to join the company this year."
Prince No. 1 also answered the conversation with a smile.
"I have met the two princes." Shen Qian came to his senses and wanted to salute.
"There is no need to be formal. We are both members of the Baiwang Palace and we can treat each other equally." But Prince No. 1 waved his hand and stopped Shen Qian's actions.
The two princes did not speak to Shen Qian any more and fell into silence.
But Shen Qian felt that the two of them had not stopped talking, but he just couldn't hear them.
Shen Qian was thoughtful.
At this moment, he overturned his previous thoughts.
There is no other reason. The attitude of these two princes towards him is too normal. This is not a problem, but if everything in the Hundred Kings Palace is really controlled by the Star Council, then it is impossible for the other party not to know his true identity.
It’s impossible not to know that he is the “God of Martial Arts” in the martial arts forum.
Even if you don’t look at me differently, it shouldn’t be this attitude.
"No. 98, you're here too. Did you hear their discussion? Phew, this time the magic city is truly a gathering of storms..."
A slightly enthusiastic voice interrupted Shen Qian's contemplation, and the noise around him gradually entered Shen Qian's ears.
After saying hello to Zhao Keyi who was talking to him, Shen Qian noticed that the Baiwang Palace was particularly lively today, with at least fifty or sixty people online.
No. 9 and No. 66, whom Shen Qian was most impressed by, were there. In addition, there were many strange figures that he had never seen before.
"Hey, I'm still more optimistic about Su Kewu University. I heard that Bai Fei, who had been dead for two years, has reappeared. Not to mention that besides Bai Fei, there is also Cai Hongling who has been practicing overseas all year round..."
"Beiwu has been on the throne for many years. How can he be knocked down so easily? Not to mention the old students, one of the new students, Wang Shuo, is probably qualified to participate in Nine Days!"
"I heard that Xuan Tiangong's youngest son will also participate, and he rejected invitations from the four major universities and specifically chose a third-rate institution. Hey, the purpose is self-evident..."
Shen Qian listened carefully for a while and then understood what Zhao Keyi was talking about.
The members of the Hall of Hundred Kings are currently discussing the Nine-Day War twelve days later. Because of this, everyone is in the middle of a debate about peerless geniuses.
Shen Qian heard a few familiar names, but most of them were unfamiliar.
The members of Baiwangdian are so knowledgeable, and the people who can be mentioned by them must be extraordinary, so Shen Qian also pays special attention to them.
While Shen Qian was listening with great interest, a voice suddenly came from above, "Everyone."
Everyone stopped talking for the time being, and Shen Qian also looked up. The person speaking was none other than Prince No. 1 who was standing in the air.
"The Baiwangdian has just received the request for help from No. 56. He is willing to pay 1,000 contribution points and invite members near the first province of Jiangnan to come and help."
Prince No. 1 announced a message.
Shen Qian was startled when he heard this. Isn't the first province of Jiangnan right next to the Shannan province where he is currently?
