Silicon Invasion

Relying on the 100mm thick alloy armor, Warrior 7 managed to block the attack with relative ease, and even the cockpit didn't experience much vibration.

However, Xiong Wu didn't show any sign of relief on his face. He knew that this was just a sample, and the next, more precise strike would come soon.

Indeed, Luo Rui had recently been practicing a new technique—flick-shotting.

This is a term from a game, referring to the act of instantly aiming at an enemy and attacking with a sniper rifle. The technique Luo Rui was practicing at this time had a similar concept.

The mecha's early warning system works by observing and capturing the direction of the gun muzzle and then calculating the trajectory to provide a warning. Someone proposed that if one could reduce the time spent on gun muzzle displacement and aiming through intuition, experience, and gun feel, and exploit the time difference between the early warning alarm and the pilot's reaction, then the success rate of the attack could be greatly increased.

In simpler terms, it means quickly raising the gun and firing, so that the early warning system, which relies on observing the gun muzzle direction, doesn't have time to react. Even if the early warning system does react, it doesn't leave the pilot much time to maneuver.

But this operation is easier said than done, and the difficulty of doing it far exceeds what ordinary people can imagine.

Pilots cannot feel the sniper-grenade launcher in the mecha's hand through touch; they can only adjust the sniper-grenade launcher's posture and aiming direction through sight.

This isn't like playing a game where you can just move the mouse. Posture adjustment, orientation, left arm support, right arm gun support, and so on all require a rather complex set of operations, and to complete them in a very short time, you must have a strong hand speed to match.

Flick-shotting wasn't first conceived by Luo Rui. Looking back at the past few decades, there have been countless outstanding people. If Luo Rui didn't have the attribute table, he probably wouldn't even be considered a top contender.

As early as more than ten years ago, when large-caliber sniper-grenade launchers were first equipped, this concept was proposed, and in the same year, this operation was used in reality.

Actually, flick-shotting is difficult, but it's also not that hard. As long as the hand speed meets the standard, the rest is practice. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. With enough practice, even if you only use sight, you seem to be able to feel part of the function of touch, reaching the point where you can shoot by feel.

Luo Rui certainly has no problem with hand speed in this regard, even exceeding the standard significantly. What he lacks is practice. However, since his attributes were comprehensively improved, although he doesn't know which attribute provided the increase, he can indeed feel a significant enhancement in his mental capacity. This makes his practice more efficient, often achieving twice the result with half the effort.

He had previously deliberately practiced flick-shotting skills. Although he can't be considered too proficient yet, if the opponent is someone like Xiong Wu, then it can already be used in actual combat.

Faced with such a high-level technique, Xiong Wu had no power to fight back, and the accuracy of the first shot was good. Luo Rui slightly corrected the parameters, and the second shot followed closely.

The sniper-grenade launcher has a fast rate of fire. Even though Xiong Wu knew that he was about to be hit by a second attack, his evasion was still half a beat too slow. With a crisp sound, the shell directly hit Warrior 7's head, and shattered crystalline material flew everywhere, damaging the hidden observation instruments inside.

Before Xiong Wu had time to get angry about the malfunctioning equipment, Luo Rui's truly hidden killing move was launched, and a high-explosive shell was fired from the recoilless rifle's barrel.

Perhaps his attention was drawn by the sniper-grenade launcher, or perhaps he simply had no time to take care of it. Xiong Wu didn't make any effective response to this attack, which was far more powerful than the sniper-grenade launcher.

This wasn't some blind shot or flick-shot; it was a real aimed shot. With Luo Rui's long-range firepower level, hitting a nearly stationary target was impossible to miss.

Warrior 7's armor was too thick, and an armor-piercing shell might not be able to finish the job in one hit, so Luo Rui still focused on weakening the opponent's combat power, choosing a high-explosive shell.

In the roaring explosion, Warrior 7's entire head was blown off, the observation system directly crashed for the most part, and Xiong Wu also lost his high-altitude vision.

But whether he lost it or not didn't matter anymore. The gap between the two sides was too large, so much so that Xiong Wu was like a target, suffering a brutal beating. What followed became Luo Rui's performance show. If it were a mecha like Swift Rainbow, the battle would probably have ended long ago, but Warrior 7's armor became an obstacle to finishing early, and it was hard to say whether this was a good thing for Xiong Wu.

"That's too miserable!"

A classmate muttered to himself, and the classmate next to him nodded in agreement unconsciously.

On the big screen, Archer Three stood in place, constantly firing three types of long-range fire weapons, disassembling Warrior 7's combat units bit by bit, like a butcher dissecting an ox.

The leg joints were broken first, and Warrior 7 completely lost its ability to move as a result. Then, there was a frantic bombardment of the cockpit. Although the armor here was twice as thick, it was still breached under the bombardment of multiple armor-piercing shells, and the temperature instantly rose to thousands of degrees, directly sending Xiong Wu to the west, and the battle ended there.

"That's too inhumane..."

"Is that person really Xiong Wu?" Some people couldn't believe it. The battle maniac who had previously dominated level 25 would actually suffer such treatment. Even those who hated Xiong Wu at this time felt a sense of pity.

"Is this the strength of a special admission student?"

Some ignorant people had their eyes opened. They always felt that everyone was a genius, so why could someone be admitted exceptionally? Now they understood that compared to ordinary people, they were indeed geniuses, but compared to some people, they became ordinary people.

"Bullshit! A level 24 special admission student isn't this fierce!"

Someone expressed a different opinion. Although special admission students are a rare species, there are one or two every year. Some special admission students are even brutally abused by their normally admitted classmates.

"Indeed, this guy is abnormally strong, three long-range fire weapons, flick-shotting. If you told me this was a level 22 or 23 senior, I would believe it."

"If he came to find me to fight, I would just surrender, saving people's time." A male classmate with a very fashionable hairstyle expressed his opinion, causing everyone to laugh. However, when they turned their heads and saw who was speaking, they were surprised again.

This person is highly recognizable because of his hair. He once argued with the teacher because it was too slow to wear a helmet with this "beautiful hair." However, although this person dresses like a non-mainstream, his skills are not bad. In the privately ranked list of students, this guy is a top expert who can rank in the top five of level 24.

Now that even he is saying this, doesn't that mean that this newcomer, even in level 24, can be among the best? But thinking about it, with his level, the students in level 24 can ask themselves, they are really not his opponents.

"Hehe, now there's a good show to watch. The bunch of guys in level 23 probably won't be able to remain calm anymore." A level 24 classmate sneered. I don't know how the higher-level seniors treated them so warmly back then.
