There was no sound, no disturbance in the scene, just a distant flash of light, simple to the extreme.
This was a completely different experience from close combat, where victory was decided in an instant from thousands of miles away, providing an exhilarating feeling akin to a headshot.
Of course, the most undeniable aspect here was the D-Class Standard Sniper Rifle from the Ancient Mechanical Empire. Judging by its level, this sniper rifle might not seem particularly outstanding, but in reality, when Lin Yuan fired the first shot in this simulated challenge environment, he was profoundly shocked. The initial indifference he felt vanished instantly, replaced by an overwhelming fervor.
Yes, it was like someone who had only ever driven a compact car suddenly getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari. The sensation of upgrading from a toy gun to a powerful weapon was so intense that perhaps only two words could describe it: perfection!
If he had to add two more words, they would be ferocity!
It was simply a combination of beauty and the beast!
He hadn’t felt it during assembly, but now, this sniper rifle on Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body seemed to have gained life and the rhythm of breathing. Every moment felt eternal, intoxicating him and making it impossible to pull away!
One after another, light points spread across the Third-Level Audiovisual Radar's search engine, indicating that one enemy after another was accurately hit. These enemies were not mere targets or low-defense cannon fodder; they were genuine D-Class Mechanical Warriors. In terms of individual combat power, Lin Yuan would not stand a chance against them, considering these were standard units from twenty million years ago in the Ancient Mechanical Empire.
However, the power of this D-Class Standard Sniper Rifle was astonishingly formidable. With just one shot, it could obliterate an enemy that had let down all defenses. It’s important to note that this wasn’t energy-based ammunition but physical projectiles capable of achieving such results—simply unbelievable.
In just thirty seconds—no more, no less—the last enemy was taken down, successfully clearing the challenge!
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but shout in excitement; this was something he had never anticipated. He thought he would fail hundreds of times before succeeding. Who would have thought that this D-Class Standard Sniper Rifle seemed to have activated some cheat mode? It effortlessly annihilated all enemies as if flowing like water. He even had the illusion that it wasn’t him controlling the sniper rifle but rather the sniper rifle controlling him.
“Beep! Newborn Papaya Your Excellency, please repeat this challenge.”
The message from a180 Punisher Intelligent Brain System appeared before Lin Yuan could even ask anything. He found himself entering another thirty-second countdown for battle once again.
At that moment, he didn't think much of it, still immersed in the terrifying yet perfect sniping experience.
Without any suspense, he successfully cleared the level again, this time in twenty-nine seconds.
"Intellect, I want to move on to the next level."
Lin Yuan felt a bit unsatisfied, as if he had just unlocked a new mode in a game. He was eager to tackle a more challenging stage.
However, to his surprise, this time Intellect did not respond at all, yet he found himself back at the previous level. The outcome was predictable; he completed it in twenty-eight seconds, seemingly improving further.
But after clearing the level, the A180 Punisher Intellect seemed to malfunction, forcing Lin Yuan to repeat this level continuously. Confused, he noticed that his completion time kept decreasing, from twenty-eight seconds down to nineteen seconds!
At this point, even though Lin Yuan's thoughts were somewhat sluggish, he finally began to realize something. No matter how arrogant he was or how he had achieved the sixth-level Tremor standard as a sniper, there was no way he could clear what appeared to be such a simple level in nineteen seconds. This was definitely beyond his capabilities.
Yet he still managed to clear the level successfully. If this wasn't a problem, then what would be?
"Stop! Intellect, I demand an explanation! Damn it, I'm trying to train myself, not be treated like a puppet! If you have the ability, why can't you make me hit every shot in reality? Isn't this just blatant cheating?"
Lin Yuan shouted angrily. He had guessed that the D-Class Sniper Rifle he assembled must have some issues. Although it was fully connected to his Central Intelligence Hub, it felt more like a simulation game where he appeared to be the main character while someone else was actually controlling everything. What kind of joke was this?
As Lin Yuan yelled out, the virtual scene finally changed, revealing an unfamiliar planet's surface. There were no buildings in sight; instead, rolling sand dunes surrounded him with clusters of enormous cacti standing in the distance. The sun blazed overhead, and heat waves shimmered in the air.
"Eh?"
Lin Yuan was momentarily taken aback, but then he quickly realized that as a Mechanical Body, how could he feel the intense heat? Looking at his own body, he found that it had indeed transformed into a human form. The sensations were so real that if he weren't fully aware of how twisted Claire's research on the Source Code World was, he might have almost believed that his past was just a fleeting dream.
What kind of trick was this?
Just as Lin Yuan was pondering this, he heard a voice behind him.
"Newborn Papaya Your Excellency, please allow me to introduce myself. I am the Virtual Instructor of the third-generation war training system of the Mechanical Empire, specifically responsible for Long-Range Sniping training. I ask for your cooperation."
"Uh..."
When Lin Yuan turned around, he saw a towering Mechanical Warrior standing thirty meters behind him, having appeared there without him noticing. What puzzled him was that this so-called sniping instructor was actually virtual.
The Virtual Instructor clearly did not intend to leave any room for doubt. It continued, "Newborn Papaya Your Excellency, the eleven simulated challenge modes you just experienced were exactly as you suspected; they do not reflect your true abilities. In fact, they were a virtual gun sensation extracted specifically for you by Lord Claire from an S-Class Long-Range Sniper, approximately one-thousandth of its true power. You merely stepped into that role, which is why you performed so perfectly. The purpose of this is to help you understand what it truly means to be a sniper master. Do you comprehend my explanation?"
"Uh..."
At this moment, Lin Yuan felt quite embarrassed. No wonder he had felt like a powerhouse earlier; it turned out to be like borrowing immense internal energy from a martial arts master—an ordinary person could suddenly become a formidable fighter and gain fame overnight. However, once that energy was withdrawn, they would immediately fall back to their original state.
But then Lin Yuan thought about it: if he could possess such powerful gun sensation for an extended period, wouldn't that solve most problems? He could instantly become a sniper expert! Even if it couldn't last long, who cared? After all, as the saying goes, "A thousand years is too long; seize the day!" (To be continued...)
