SRGA Chapter 69: Powerful Shooting Talent
Tan Xin looked surprised. "Lin Tian, are you a military enthusiast?"
Lin Tian shook his head. "Not really. I just have a good memory. Besides, I'm interested in these firearms."
Tan Xin nodded slightly.
She handed Lin Tian a magazine.
Lin Tian intentionally acted a bit clumsy as he loaded the magazine.
"Here's the safety."
"After you aim, try two shots first, then I'll teach you the correct grip," Tan Xin instructed.
Lin Tian nodded and disengaged the safety. He aimed the pistol at the target. Tan Xin frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Pistols had significant recoil, so beginners usually used both hands to hold them.
Lin Tian deliberately took his time aiming.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and Lin Tian's hand trembled slightly, but not too much. The bullet hit the target accurately.
Tan Xin was stunned.
Lin Tian's strength was impressive.
To hit the target with just one hand on the first shot, although it only hit the two-point ring, was already good.
Tan Xin didn't know that Lin Tian possessed master-level shooting skills, and he wouldn't hold back even against a king of soldiers.
"Only hitting the two-point ring is quite challenging."
"I'll try again!"
Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Bang, bang!"
Soon, Lin Tian fired ten shots. He intentionally missed two shots, but the other eight all hit the target, including one hitting the ten-point ring!
Tan Xin couldn't believe it.
The task given to him was to hit the target with at least five out of ten shots at a fifteen-meter range. And he had already completed it?
"Is Lin Tian a shooting genius discovered by the higher-ups?" Tan Xin wondered.
"Lin Tian, you've just started shooting, and your accuracy will be higher if you hold the gun with both hands. Now, let me teach you the correct two-handed grip," Tan Xin said, picking up another pistol to demonstrate.
"You try again."
"There are ten bullets left in your gun."
Lin Tian nodded, holding the gun with both hands this time and started shooting. Soon, all ten bullets were fired, and all hit the target. Four shots even hit the eight-point ring.
Tan Xin didn't know what to say. She was assigned to teach Lin Tian how to shoot because of her excellent marksmanship. Her talent in this area was quite good.
But her initial shooting performance was far inferior to Lin Tian's current one.
"Have you never handled firearms before?" Tan Xin asked.
Lin Tian replied, "Would encountering an armed criminal some time ago count?"
Tan Xin shook her head. "Of course not. If you've never handled firearms before, it means you have a talent for shooting."
"Let's continue!"
Time passed quickly, and under Lin Tian's control, Tan Xin witnessed his shooting skills improving rapidly.
After an hour, Lin Tian had fired hundreds of bullets, and his score on the fifteen-meter target was approaching eighty out of one hundred.
For pistols, this accuracy at a fifteen-meter range was very good.
"Lin Tian, let's stop here with pistols. What do you want to try next?" Tan Xin didn't know what to say anymore.
She thought today's task would be quite troublesome, but unexpectedly, in such a short time, Lin Tian's pistol shooting was not much worse than hers.
"All right."
Lin Tian smiled.
He soon started trying out other firearms, and in the following time, Tan Xin witnessed Lin Tian's powerful shooting talent.
"Lin Tian, let's end it here for today."
"You've fired a lot of bullets, and your body can't take it anymore."
Two hours later, Tan Xin said.
Reluctantly, Lin Tian let go of the sniper rifle in his hand. He didn't know when he would have the chance to touch a gun again.
...
"Report, Lin Tian has completed firearms training, and his performance is excellent."
"Excellent performance?" The officer in front of Tan Xin was surprised.
Tan Xin nodded seriously. "Yes, his performance with pistols and rifles is outstanding, and his performance with sniper rifles is close to excellent."
"He only trained for three hours."
"If he receives more training, his performance will definitely be even better."
The officer in front of Tan Xin was shocked.
Reaching such a level in three hours of shooting training?
"You can return to the base," the officer said solemnly.
Tan Xin left and stood up straight, dialing Yang Zhiheng's phone. "General, reporting to you. Lin Tian's shooting training is over—"
Listening to the report, Yang Zhiheng's eyes showed a surprised expression.
Lin Tian actually possessed a monstrous shooting talent.
"Well done."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhiheng quickly called Lin Tian. "Xiao Lin, let's have lunch together, I have something to discuss with you."
...
"General Yang, what can I do for you?" Lin Tian asked
.
Yang Zhiheng arrived first and had already ordered the food.
"Xiao Lin, I had someone investigate your family background. Your grandfather was a veteran who made significant contributions to the country," Yang Zhiheng said.
"With the contributions your grandfather made, you could have demanded better treatment from the country."
Lin Tian nodded slightly. "My grandfather knows, but he said many of his comrades died, so he's already grateful to be alive."
"He said the country was difficult in the past."
Yang Zhiheng sighed. "The country owes many unsung heroes like him a lot. Xiao Lin, my father wants to give you a gift."
He took out a wooden box.
Opening the wooden box, there was a beautiful pistol inside.
"This pistol was given to my father by the Great Leader. My father is giving it to you as a token of gratitude and for self-defense."
Lin Tian was shocked. This was actually the pistol the Great Leader gave to Yang Lao. Its value and significance were extraordinary.
"General Yang, I can't accept this."
"This pistol must be very precious to General Yang. It's not right for me to take it. Besides, it's illegal for me to possess it."
Lin Tian said quickly.
Yang Zhiheng chuckled. "My father's intention is to give you an identity, to get you a gun license so you can legally own it. But you can't just take it out casually."
Lin Tian's eyes lit up.
Getting him a gun license to legally own a gun?
The temptation was great.
Which man wouldn't want such a thing?
"I'll get you an identity at the National Security Bureau," Yang Zhiheng continued.
Lin Tian coughed lightly. "General Yang, is this really okay?"
Yang Zhiheng shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with it. Your outstanding medical skills deserve special treatment like this."
Lin Tian contemplated.
He was a martial arts master, and in the future, if there were things he didn't like, he might need to intervene. Having such an identity would be much better.
"General Yang, I'll take the identity. But please take back the gun. Just give me an ordinary gun when the time comes."
Lin Tian said seriously.
"Are you sure?" Yang Zhiheng asked in surprise.
Lin Tian nodded. "I'm sure. I wouldn't dare to use this gun, and when I get back, I'll have to buy a safe to hide it."
Yang Zhiheng smiled. "Then I'll give you an ordinary handgun later. You still need to buy a good safe to keep it."
"I'll give you an extra magazine for the bullets."
With the extra magazine, there were forty bullets in total, which was completely sufficient for normal use.
