I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms
Chapter 77: Chapter 76: But... Why Are the Gunshots So Intense?

"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 replace 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.

In an event that only allowed supernatural beings of level 3 or below to enter, this tactic could indeed be highly effective.

The Federal Government maintained quite a few gunman armies, but in the secret lands, gunmen were rarely seen. The main reason was that in the secret lands, gunmen suffered from a lack of ammunition and no means of resupply, and the areas were restricted by numbers, which significantly diminished the impact a single gunman could have.

A major event was different, with no restrictions on participant numbers.

Although there was still the risk of running out of ammo, until their ammunition was depleted, the sight of these hundreds of gunmen congregating in a formidable display indeed felt invincible.

...

In the forest.

A young man representing the Chi Family, having also received information from the outside, sneered with a cold expression: "This horde of level 3 gunmen must have just been pulled together, right? That must have cost a fortune, and it doesn't seem like they can break even."

"Is the Black Hand Gang aiming for fame?"

Gunmen are cheap.

But hundreds of gunmen aren't cheap. Moreover, equipping these people with enough weapons and bullets costs a fair amount of money. Of course, the biggest expenditure is where to replace these few hundred individuals. These people must have all been ordinary folks before, and to replace so many willing to risk their lives for you would cost a pretty penny.

The total would be at least tens of millions, which includes the hidden costs such as leveling them up and farming experience and the like.

The most important aspect of this grand event was to "win a new city-state effect for one's own city," but regardless of who won, the reward belonged to Fengtian City, and such a great cost wasn't justified at all. As for the remaining treasure chests, it wasn't certain they could break even even after opening them all.

The Black Hand Gang was definitely going to take a loss this time.

The only explanation was that the Black Hand Gang wanted to use this grand event to promote its power, to expand its influence, probably hoping to climb the rankings and advance the position of their power on the leaderboard.

The original tacit understanding among the major powers was to have the young people of their own family lower their levels to participate in this event. There was sufficient crushing force and, because the young people weren't high level, they wouldn't lose too much.

However, when it came to the Black Hand Gang, they went straight for the winner.

Of course, this had benefits for him as well, as such a measure could almost guarantee that the victor of this event would stably be from Fengtian City. That was enough, he could just lie down and be done with it. Find your adventure at m-v|l -NovelFire

...

At this moment, Chen Miao was commanding Yuan Buping and others to dig holes on the spot, seeing more and more formidable enemies approaching, he had to act quickly. The treasure chests here still held quite an appeal for him.

Which was different from those major powers.

His pockets were empty, he literally had nothing.

Everything was attractive to him, everything was good, all his, and nobody else could touch them.

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.
