Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Second Encounter

As more and more actions are taken in the future, some people will definitely become aware of me. They won’t be caught off guard like before, and they certainly won’t be terrified just by seeing my Instant Teleportation.

By then, when the opponents are prepared and know my skills, defeating them won’t be that easy.

There’s a chance they might catch me or injure me while I teleport over, which would risk exposing my identity.

More importantly, if a prolonged fight occurs, my prestige would be completely lost, not to mention whether or not my identity is revealed. Those society members would no longer fear me.

“I need to prepare more attack methods.”

“Especially long-range attack methods.”

“The best option is to use a gun.”

Su Xin’s mind conjured up an image.

Dozens of cold-blooded men in black suits stood on the street, looking around in panic, while my figure flashed around them. Every time I appeared at one spot, a few bright bursts of gunfire bloomed, and a few people in the crowd fell to the ground. By the time the crowd reacted and prepared to fight back, I had already flashed to another corner, and the gun barrel once again erupted with gunfire.

In less than a minute, these armed men were shot dead by me.

I turned away gracefully.

Not a drop of blood stained my black robe.

I left after accomplishing the mission, hiding my achievements and reputation.

This is the best way to apply Instant Teleportation.

What’s the point of using fists?

If you’re not careful, you might be counterattacked.

Using guns, combined with Instant Teleportation, is truly sweeping invincibility.

Although he doesn’t intend to kill, having another long-range attack method gives him an extra strategy, allowing him to handle sudden situations more calmly and ensure the safety of his life and identity information.

Of course, in Wanghai Country, guns are strictly controlled. Guns aren’t easy to obtain, and even for societies, the vast majority of people aren’t qualified to carry guns. The buying and selling of firearms are tightly regulated with many restrictions on their use.

But the law is just the law.

Though societies are legitimate entities, this doesn’t mean all of them are law-abiding citizens. In fact, every society must have several people who possess firearms, with illegal possession and use being common.

Su Xin has heard gunshots a few times at night himself.

He personally had no way to get a gun.

But through these societies, there’s a chance he might get a gun from the opponents.

Before that, he needs to learn the basic knowledge of using a gun and practice shooting skills.

Having traversed to this world for sixteen years, he had always wanted to play with guns, but he wasn’t of age before, and shooting ranges wouldn’t accommodate him. Now that he’s sixteen, he’s considered a legal adult and meets the age requirements for shooting ranges.

Finally, he could try it now.

After finishing his meal and returning home, Su Xin changed his clothes and searched online for the largest shooting range in Lening City, then took a cab there.

When he walked into the hall, a sweet-smiling girl at the front desk immediately stood up and greeted him:

“Welcome!”

“Hello, I’d like to try pistol shooting. What are your charges here?”

“The pistol rental fee is 200 yuan per hour, and bullets are charged per round at 10 yuan each. Oh, sir, is this your first time playing with a gun?”

“Yes.”

“If you have no experience, we have professional coaches here to teach you the basic moves and skills, which requires an additional fee of 100 yuan.”

“Alright, please arrange it for me.”

The girl handed over a document and smiled: “Sir, this is the safety commitment agreement. Please take a look; everyone needs to sign it. Also, these are the types of guns you can choose from… ”

Su Xin took the document and started reading it.

At this moment, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from not far away:

“Huh? Su Xin?”

“Huh?”

Su Xin turned his head in confusion.

It was Fang Mengzhu, who had met him by chance on the coastal highway a few days ago, walking into the hall with another man and woman by her side.

Seemingly surprised to encounter Su Xin here again, a hardly noticeable joy flitted through Fang Mengzhu’s eyes.

It’s not that she had developed any favorable feelings towards Su Xin, but because after that sad and chaotic day where she wanted to commit suicide, running into Su Xin had lightened her mood considerably. This gave her a natural affinity towards Su Xin, and she also found his personality quite likable, so since that day, they could be considered friends.

She initially regretted not exchanging contact details, but didn’t expect to run into him again so soon.

“Fang Mengzhu? What a coincidence!”

Su Xin also smiled slightly.

This woman matched his aesthetics well and had a simple personality. If it weren’t for her seemingly unusual family background, he might have wanted to pursue her.

Women in this age group were his favorite at this stage; in some ways, they were much better than those just developing girls in school.

“Mengzhu, since when did you secretly get to know such a handsome young man? Aren’t you going to introduce him to me?” Su Xin’s friend smiled mischievously after exchanging a glance with the young man beside her, and teasingly leaned towards Fang Mengzhu.

Fang Mengzhu slapped her friend’s hand away, rolled her eyes, and introduced calmly:

“What do you mean by ’secretly’? He’s a friend I met by chance last time. His name is Su Xin… This is my friend, Jiang Suroo, and this is also a friend of mine, named Shan Shidong.”

Shan Shidong, who was quietly observing Fang Mengzhu’s expression, slightly exhaled in relief after this—based on Fang Mengzhu’s behavior, this young man named Su Xin probably didn’t have any special relationship with her.

However, he still couldn’t underestimate the threat posed by the other party.

In his impression, Fang Mengzhu rarely showed such enthusiasm towards a man; at least, she had never been this enthusiastic with him.

Even though this young man named Su Xin seemed quite young and temporarily had nothing to do with Fang Mengzhu, the potential threat shouldn’t be ignored.

“Hello everyone.”

Su Xin greeted them proactively and then curiously asked, “Why are you here as well? Are you also here for shooting practice?”

Jiang Suroo shrugged with a look of helplessness: “Isn’t it strange? It’s rare for a girl to like playing with guns, but it’s Mengzhu’s way of coping with a bad mood.”

Fang Mengzhu giggled: “Don’t you think shooting is exciting? It’s at least a hundred times more fun than horseback riding and bowling that you prefer.”

Shan Shidong said gently:

“I think shooting is more interesting. As everyone knows, shooting is a high-level sport that combines strength, skill, body control, focus, balance, and endurance.”

“Practicing shooting more often helps relax the body and mind, reduces stress, and additionally improves reflexes and body coordination.”

Fang Mengzhu nodded repeatedly as she listened.

Su Xin found it hard to comment on their hobbies. Seeing that the three of them were together and he was not familiar with any of them, he felt he couldn’t join in the conversation and didn’t want to mix in too much, so he said:

“I don’t really understand all this. Today, I just wanted to try it out and have some fun. Hope you all have a great time. I’ll go practice on my own.”

Fang Mengzhu quickly said: “Since we ran into each other here, let’s play together. We have some experience and can teach you as well.”
