Close-quarters combat does not require a high level of marksmanship from the fighters.
On the contrary, it places extremely high demands on a combatant's adaptability.
When danger arises, one must maintain a highly calm and clear mind.
Simultaneously, one must assess the opponent's intentions within an extremely short period.
If the opponent intends to resort to force, preemptive counter-measures are needed.
Conversely, if the situation remains under control, one should not rashly escalate the conflict.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang..."
Ouyang Yu fired off over a hundred rounds in quick succession, yet failed to even graze the targets.
Bullets flew wildly, scorching the small hillside behind the shooting range.
"Bang, bang..."
At this moment, Liu Kai Xuan also opened fire.
He, too, aimed at the distant targets, firing eight shots consecutively until his magazine was empty.
Only two bullets hit the targets; the other six missed entirely.
Witnessing this, Kuang Niu was overjoyed.
He eagerly grabbed a handgun and unleashed a barrage of shots at the distant targets.
Kuang Niu's barrage appeared casual, but the shooting results were excellent.
All ten bullets struck the targets, with four rounds hitting the bullseye, the ten-ring.
The lowest scoring shot landed in the seven-ring.
This performance was indeed many times superior to Liu Kai Xuan's.
"Mr. Kuang Niu, your marksmanship is quite impressive!"
Liu Kai Xuan offered a perfunctory compliment, as the man was known for his showmanship.
Having just suffered a setback, he was now eager to demonstrate his abilities.
Kuang Niu replied with extreme humility, "Boss Liu is too kind!"
"In fact, my shooting skills are the worst in our team!"
"If we're talking about the best marksman, that would be Miss Reina!"
"Hmm!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement, "No wonder you all hold Miss Reina in such high regard!"
"So it turns out Miss Reina is the true expert!"
At this point, Reina also stepped forward and spoke.
"Actually, in real combat, speed is even more important!"
"It's probably too late for Boss Liu to practice marksmanship now!"
"However, if you can develop some proficiency in drawing and firing speed, it might prove effective in critical moments."
As she spoke, Reina drew her handgun from her waist at lightning speed and fired a shot at a distant target.
She then swiftly returned the handgun to its holster.
Reina's draw, fire, and reholster were all executed in a seamless, fluid motion with no hesitation.
Her speed was so astounding that it even made Liu Kai Xuan marvel.
Furthermore, firing at such speed, she still managed to hit the ten-ring bullseye.
If Liu Kai Xuan had attempted it, in less than two seconds, he might not even have had time to aim.
"Excellent, truly excellent!"
Liu Kai Xuan smiled and nodded, "Miss Reina's proficiency with firearms is indeed very high!"
"I think I've now found the direction I need to train in!"
"By the way, Miss Reina, does your esteemed organization offer weapons sales services?"
"Certainly!"
Reina nodded, "As a security company, we do provide services for the sale of arms and equipment!"
"Boss Liu is a valued client. If you only need weapons for self-defense, I can authorize a handgun and fifty rounds of ammunition as a gift!"
"No need!"
Liu Kai Xuan waved his hand and smiled, "I want to equip my friends with weapons for self-defense as well!"
"How much will it cost? Once this security mission is concluded, I will have Ouyang Xue settle the payment with you!"
"No problem, these are minor matters. Please follow me!"
Subsequently, Reina led everyone to the armory.
Liu Kai Xuan and his entourage intended to purchase weapons for self-defense in special circumstances.
They didn't require overly powerful firepower; a handgun for each person would suffice.
After all, in genuinely dangerous areas, security company personnel would provide safety services.
The Thunder Security team had a formidable reputation, and it was reasonable to assume their combat readiness would be high.
...
Liu Kai Xuan selected a weapon for himself. Before anyone else had chosen, Ouyang Yu excitedly picked one.
"I'll take this one. This gun is the most suitable for me!"
"Xiao Yu, why do you need a gun?"
Ouyang Xue reminded her, "It's enough for Sun Feng and Sun Cheng to use!"
"Starting tomorrow, you will stay in your hotel room and not wander around aimlessly!"
"Sister, why are you so agitated?"
Ouyang Yu said indignantly, "Hu Lan City is very safe!"
"Besides, you saw Chen Qing Long's strength just now. With him protecting me, what are you afraid of?"
Ouyang Xue replied with a wry smile, "It's not a matter of fear!"
"Xiao Yu, you must understand that the environment in Thunder Empire is not like our country!"
"Your temperament is too impulsive. If you were to get into trouble, how would I explain it to our family when I return?"
"Sister, I'm not a child anymore, please don't worry!"
Ouyang Yu said confidently, "I'm not getting a gun to cause trouble; I just want to protect myself!"
"When we return to our country in the future, I definitely won't bring this gun back, so you can rest assured!"
"Rest assured about what? You only know how to cause trouble for me!"
Ouyang Xue said sternly with a straight face, "If I let you have a gun now, you'll push your luck and insist on leaving Hu Lan City with us!"
"You're becoming more and more excessive. I shouldn't have let you come with me in the first place!"
"Alright, alright!"
Under Ouyang Xue's incessant admonishments, Ouyang Yu finally relented.
"Sister, fine, I'm afraid of you, okay?"
"I don't want this gun anymore. I'll give it to Qing Long, okay? Let him use it to protect me. You should be relieved now, right?"
As she spoke, Ouyang Yu handed the gun directly to Chen Qing Long.
After Chen Qing Long took the gun, Ouyang Xue found it difficult to say anything more.
After all, Chen Qing Long was not Ouyang Xue's direct relative.
Moreover, Chen Qing Long's performance in the arena had indeed been astonishing.
For such a capable individual, it was certainly necessary for him to possess a firearm for his protection.
"Chen Qing Long, you must keep Xiao Yu in check and prevent her from running around with the gun!"
"Ah..."
Chen Qing Long frowned slightly and replied, "Sister Xue Er, let Xiao Yu stay in the hotel alone tomorrow."
"I want to accompany Boss and expand my own horizons!"
