Chapter 257 - The System That Liked to Take the Initiative
Before departing, he glanced at Gu Quanzhong and beckoned him closer.
“Gu Quanzhong, step over here a moment!”
Without hesitation, Gu Quanzhong moved toward Jiang Hao, drawing curious looks from the others.
He realized, despite their lengthy conversation, he still didn't know the proper way to address Jiang Hao.
Detecting Gu Quanzhong's discomfort, Jiang Hao offered a solution with ease.
“Just call me Mr. Jia.”
Gu Quanzhong accepted the name without question and promptly replied with respect.
“Mr. Jia!”
Jiang Hao nodded, giving Gu Quanzhong a once-over before casting a glance at the still-baffled onlookers. He instructed,
“Later, fill in the others. I don't want any misunderstandings interfering with my affairs.”
Gu Quanzhong assured him quickly,
“Of course, that won't happen!”
By now, Jiang Hao's methods had instilled a deep sense of awe in him.
Jiang Hao, unfazed, continued,
“Also, take down my contact information. Notify me with any updates!”
After sharing his details, Jiang Hao fixed Gu Quanzhong with a serious gaze.
“Remember, even without any news, you're to contact me once a month!”
“But if you're looking to die, feel free to skip the call.”
“The water you all drank earlier was laced with a poison of my own creation. Without the antidote in a month's time, the poison will take effect.”
“Then, you'll all rot from the inside out, dying in agony.”
“Of course, you might not take my word for it. If you believe someone else can cure this poison, by all means, try your luck.”
With that, Jiang Hao left Gu Quanzhong standing there, stunned.
He slung a rifle over his shoulder, held two pistols in his mobile phone, and mounted a brown bear. Then, with a lurch, he was off into the distance.
Once Jiang Hao had vanished into the forest's depths, Gu Quanzhong was overcome with a sudden weakness.
?Just then, a rustling sound caught his attention. Turning, he saw the insects that had encircled them withdrawing en masse, as if obeying a silent command.
They vanished in an instant.
Gu Quanzhong was taken aback, feeling as though everything that had just transpired was nothing more than a dream.
……
Jiang Hao sat astride Xiao Soong, clutching the gun with an affectionate grip.
Yet, it seemed he didn't have a clue how to use it!
Even if he did, without any practice in marksmanship, hitting a stationary target would likely still be a challenge for him.
After all, becoming a sharpshooter is something you earn through countless bullets!
But he was short on ammunition.
Then it hit him—the system favored proactive actions.
“Maybe I should try disassembling a gun?” 𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏(.)com
No sooner had Jiang Hao thought this than the system chimed in.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, for disassembling a small handgun. You've earned the shooting skill, 0.8 skill points, and 0.8 Experience Points!”
Shooting Level 1 (0/1): Master every weapon, be it a handgun, rifle, or bow, with this skill.
“Disassembly complete. Would you like to proceed with extraction and fusion?”
Jiang Hao's spirits lifted with the system's prompt.
The system always did prefer a proactive approach!
“Extract and fuse!”
Such an exceptional skill was definitely worth integrating!
At Jiang Hao's command, a wealth of shooting knowledge flooded his mind, and a new skill was promptly added to his personal panel.
Without a moment's delay, Jiang Hao issued another command.
“System, upgrade the shooting skill to level 3!”
