"Gunshots?"
Upon hearing the sound, the representative sent by the Autumn Chamber of Commerce furrowed his brows slightly, taking a moment to process the situation. Gunshots during a major event? The Gunman Profession?
It had been a long time since anyone had chosen the Gunman Profession as a newbie.
But... why were the gunshots so frequent?
It sounded like hundreds of guns were firing at the same time. Could it be that some force had sent hundreds of gunmen here?
...
"Hm?"
Even Chen Miao was momentarily stunned, standing still, listening to the distant gunshots. He hadn't even started firing yet; how could someone else have already begun? And the gunshots sounded quite dense.
At that moment—
He received a message from Zhou Shen.
"Miao, there are hundreds of gunmen in this major event, organized by the Black Hand Gang. They're systematically taking out others. Be careful."
"How do you know?"
Chen Miao was somewhat puzzled.
"The major event is always broadcast live. Outsiders can watch, but not everyone makes it on camera. Only when the event itself deems a moment to be a highlight, will it be filmed. So far, you guys haven't made it on camera, Miao."
"So, people outside can relay information now?"
"That's right."
"Hundreds of gunmen..."
The corners of Chen Miao's mouth twitched slightly. The Black Hand Gang was clever, indeed. If they wanted to get a substantially good reward in this special major event, the best way was to find a supernatural being of around level 10 or higher and have them forfeit their level to reclass and level up multiple times, thus leveraging their high skill proficiency to dominate others.
But... while the cost was high, the crushing force wasn't all that great.
Unless it was a level 30 supernatural being reclassing, which would indeed provide substantial crushing power, but they'd be losing their shirt in the process.
With hundreds of gunmen, the cost was similarly high, but the overwhelming force was on a different level. The Gunman was inherently a strong profession in the early stages. While other professions still hadn't acquired control, sprinting, jumping, and other skill books, a Gunman could indeed fire at will with just a gun in hand.
Especially when hundreds of gunmen fired together.
He had originally planned to make a move later, but now that such powerful enemies had appeared, it meant he could no longer afford to pause. Quickly, a deep pit was prepared, and Yuan Buping and the others took the lead in jumping down.
Chen Miao followed suit and jumped down as well.
Immediately after, only two hands holding a Thompson surfaced outside the pit, while his body and head were buried underneath in the Deep Pit, thus minimising the likelihood of being hit by ricocheting bullets.
Generally speaking, bullets are more likely to ricochet off harder surfaces, such as concrete floors. The surrounding trees weren't particularly sturdy, and even though the Thompson Submachine Gun didn't have strong penetration, the likelihood of ricochet was slim.
However, the number of bullets he fired was so large that even with a low probability, the chance of a ricochet occurring out of the vast number of bullets was not small.
He chose to be cautious.
So...
A somewhat comical scene ensued.
In the middle of the forest, a dugout sheltering many people emerged with a Thompson Submachine Gun slowly peeking out, and this abnormal sight was immediately captured by the grand event and broadcasted live.
However, before many people could understand what this scene meant,
"Bang."
The sound of gunfire resounded.
Then, countless flames abruptly spewed out from that gun barrel, as tens of thousands of bullets erupted in an utterly unreasonable manner, spraying everywhere from the barrel.
It was like stuffing 100 jellybeans into one's mouth, when the barrel was so small, it was bewildering how it could fire so many bullets at the same time.
Utterly unreasonable.
The scene was extremely exaggerated.
And the surrounding trees also fell down in unison. One Thompson bullet couldn't possibly knock down a tree, not even ten, but there was no withstanding the 20,000 bullets per second from Chen Miao's gun.
Under the F-grade skill "Firepower Coverage".
Every time he emptied a magazine, it meant 20,000 bullets were discharged in an instant.
This ordinary attack skill, belonging to the Gunman Profession, was like an S-grade skill in Chen Miao's hands. He loved this world in his own unique way, bringing a little shock to it.
At this moment, Chen Miao was like a lawnmower, hiding in the Deep Pit and continuously clearing the debris around him.
Unstoppable.
