This is too easy to be fun.

"Huh? You didn't shoot, bro? Then... could it be Red-Name Bro?"
"It had to be him. We only have two ranged players, and I didn't bring my Precision Rifle—I just can't handle that thing."
"Hey, Lao Chen, you were in danger earlier? Are you hurt? Could you get back on your own?"
The student called Lao Chen quickly hopped back towards his teammates, chattering into the voice chat:
"I'm fine, heading back now... You won't believe me, but I just felt like I saw an immortal..."
He then rapidly described the recent danger, his voice filled with reverence as he spoke of the four rounds of armor-piercing ammunition that struck with surgical precision.
"Seriously, that monster was less than a meter away from me! I forgot this was just a sim—I was frozen in terror!"
"But what really scared me were the last four shots. The bullets practically grazed my eyes! It was terrifying! I can't believe anyone could get that much out of this piece of junk gun! If you don't believe me, just check the combat footage later."
"Uh... after hearing you talk it up so much, I really want to see it now."
"This isn't exaggeration! He's seriously godlike! This Raven Big Shot is definitely among the top elites in the Alliance. Under normal circumstances, we might never encounter someone like that in our entire lives."
"Ah? Then all that trash-talking we did earlier about him... wasn't that..."
"We can't be blamed for that, right? His record was genuinely awful... And he never communicated with us at all. Why do you think that was?"
"That's unclear... Oh, by the way, where did he go?"
"I don't know... He suddenly left the team earlier, and then vanished. This damn place—none of our instruments work here."
The Precision Rifle is a versatile weapon, yet it's widely acknowledged as difficult to use. It's like a classic semiautomatic rifle from the past, or that green chat app on your smartphone.
It's not that the gun itself is poorly designed. In fact, it has a fast projectile velocity, tight dispersion, long range, and is relatively sturdy and low-maintenance. The real issue lies in the fact that the one holding the gun isn't you.
In the Mecha Era, with various auto-aim and visual targeting aids, "framing" an enemy is simple. But achieving precise alignment of the gun's sights requires considering numerous factors: the mech's vibrations, the enemy's maneuvers, terrain limitations, environmental effects, and more.
With the assistance of trajectory calculations, posture adjustments, balance control, and other support programs, static firing accuracy is naturally guaranteed.
But once you enter high-speed maneuvers or complex battlefield environments, the meager processing power of the onboard chip simply can't handle the vast, complex data. "Auto-aim" becomes "Auto-Outline."
In situations like this, you'd either have to manually adjust with skill or switch to grenades or rockets, relying on sheer caliber to compensate for accuracy errors.
But Xiao Bai was different. Even though it was his first time h andling this weapon, his exceptional processing power, combined with the updated and integrated Auto-Combat system, made this gun feel even more user-friendly than the semi-auto sniper rifle from that police vs. bandits game—he almost couldn't put it down.
"Hmph~ Back in the day, I always got voted out of casual games for picking the Counter-Terrorist and buying a semi-auto sniper rifle. Now I can finally enjoy it properly."
"Precision shooting is crucial, whether for stealth operations, long-range takedowns, or dealing with those Demonic Beasts that require 'weak point' targeting. You really need pinpoint accuracy."
"If only I had one of these in real life..."
As Xiao Bai spoke, he raised his hand and fired two more shots, blowing up a Giant Spider lunging toward him.
Then, he shouldered the howitzer and blasted a group of 'ants' gathering at the base of a tree. With his other hand, he swung the chainsaw sword horizontally, slicing a 'mosquito' that brushed past him in half.
"The realism is decent, but the difficulty is still too low. The objective of killing 50 Demonic Beasts within three hours isn't even enough for me to have any fun."
Xiao Bai activated his thrusters again, landing on another sturdy tree trunk. His weapons had just finished recharging, ready for another round of harvesting.
Und er the influence of the "Ferocity" rule, the Demonic Beasts in this forest had abandoned their advantages in camouflage and concealment. The moment they heard the sound of gunfire, they would recklessly charge forward, allowing Xiao Bai to vent his stress.
Without this "buff," clearing the beasts in this environment, where detection equipment struggled to function, would have been quite troublesome...
In just ten minutes, he had already completed nearly half of the mission objective.
His teammates were chattering incessantly over the comms, drawn by the sound of gunfire, eager to "assist" him.
"Don't come over and steal my kills! Can't you just chill and reap the rewards?" Xiao Bai grumbled, continuing to use the thick trunks for cover, staying out of his teammates' line of sight.
Based on their performance in the early stages, he had already concluded that these guys lacked any real jungle combat experience. They hadn't even studied combat reports from similar environments; they were still stuck in textbook mode.
In such a complex environment, daring to run alone into the only open area—wasn't that like sending a woman to India?
"You like the Bo Plateau, huh? Are you planning to scatter and deny next?"
He immediately roasted his teammate's recklessness. If he hadn't quickly broken formation and caught up, the recon guy would have ended up in the Spider's belly.
Xiao Bai had clearly studied numerous combat reports from similar environments, all secretly sent to him by Lao Luo.
The more complex the ecosystem, the more bizarre and unusual creatures it tended to spawn. Consequently, many of the "submissions" Lao Luo received came from these "hellish" places, essentially prepping Xiao Bai with a wealth of relevant experience.
A few minutes later, only a handful of Demonic Beasts remained.
"48... 49... Got it!"
As the final Giant Spider-like creature was blasted into fragments by grenades and rockets, Xiao Bai successfully met the mission requirements before his teammates could even fire a shot.
The victory was so smooth that his teammates didn't get a single trigger pull, completely missing out on the "game experience." It was a small payback for their earlier disdain.
They could only shout in vain over the voice chat:
"Huh? It's over already? What just happened? Where are we? Who am I?"
"I don't know if this counts as winning without even seeing the enemy minions, but their base just exploded automatically!"
"No, strictly speaking, except for Lao Chen, we didn't even see the enemy minions... This Raven Big Shot is just too ruthless and heartless! He didn't even leave us any scraps!"
"The evaluation results are out! Quick, look! It's an SSS rating! And we're ranked first in this scenario! Yes! My credits are saved!"
"But isn't there nothing to celebrate here? Aside from survival time, everything else is a zero. If others see this, they'll suspect we were cheating or exploiting a bug!"
"Don't worry. You can just tell them we encountered a super Big Shot who played more outrageously than someone using cheat codes."
