Chapter 30: Hunting Trip (1/4)

"Damn... this is... simply incredible, isn't it?"

Qin Yuan paused, unable to hide his astonishment. So, this was owl vision? In the pitch-black night, their sight was actually this powerful? The world appeared no different than it did during the day. Qin Yuan finally understood just how formidable owls truly were. Especially when reflecting on his experiences over the past few days, he felt a profound sense of the unique capabilities of animals.

"It's just... the night vision range is only 100 meters! That's a bit low," Qin Yuan mused. "Continue selecting!"

"I choose 1!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful selection! Acquired: Perfect-Level Night Vision."

"Perfect-Level Night Vision: Allows the host to see in the dark as clearly as in daylight, with a night vision range of 200 meters."

The crisp system prompt rang out. Qin Yuan was delighted; the range had indeed increased!

"Continue selecting!"

Qin Yuan chose 1 again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful selection! Acquired: Qiankun-Level Night Vision."

"Qiankun-Level Night Vision: Allows the host to see in the dark as clearly as in daylight, with a night vision range of 400 meters."

"Huh? It doubled again?" Qin Yuan blinked, pleasantly surprised. He had expected the Qiankun-level to reach 300 meters, but it was 400! A 400-meter range was already incredibly vast.

With a thought, Qin Yuan activated his night vision. In an instant, it was as if he had gained a god's-eye view. Everything within a 400-meter radius was as clear as day, all displayed right before him. If he wished, he could instantly focus on any corner within that 400-meter radius.

"This is too magical!" Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile brightly. There was no helping it; the sensation was simply too wondrous. Only by experiencing it personally could one realize how extraordinary this ability was.

Immediately, Qin Yuan knocked out two more owls. This time, however, he chose the second option: World-Class Hearing. He already had night vision; his hearing needed to keep up.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful selection! Acquired: World-Class Hearing."

"World-Class Hearing: Allows the host to hear everything within a 10-meter radius."

In an instant, Qin Yuan felt his ears enveloped by countless warm, subtle currents. The next second, he felt a earth-shattering change in his hearing. Everything within a 10-meter radius—the sound of the breeze, insects crawling, branches swaying, the chirping of crickets—nothing could escape his ears.

"Continue selecting!" Qin Yuan smiled and chose again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for a successful selection! Acquired: Perfect-Level Hearing."

"Perfect-Level Hearing: Allows the host to hear everything within a 20-meter radius."

"As expected, it increased again!" The swift change concluded. Qin Yuan's hearing had ascended to a new level, reaching 20 meters. What did a 20-meter radius mean? As long as there was movement within 20 meters, he could hear it. There were no obstacles; no one could hide.

With a thought, Qin Yuan activated his Perfect-Level Hearing, Qiankun-Level Night Vision, and World-Class Thermal Imaging. In a flash, everything within a 1,000-meter radius became his domain. Anything and anyone would be within his grasp.

"This feeling... it's wonderful, isn't it?" Qin Yuan smiled, feeling quite satisfied with this sense of total control.

"Huh? Someone's coming?" Qin Yuan discovered, to his surprise, that at a 60-degree angle, 1,000 meters away, a small squad of Blue Force soldiers had just entered his thermal imaging range. There were six of them, and they seemed to be searching for something.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the crisp system prompt rang out again. Qin Yuan was jolted. What was this? Was the system issuing another mission?

"Ding! System mission issued: For every 10 Blue Force soldiers 'eliminated,' unlock a new system slot."

"Wow, this is great!" It was like being handed a pillow just as he felt sleepy. After capturing five owls, Qin Yuan didn't have a single slot left. But now, he only needed to eliminate 10 Blue Force soldiers to unlock a new one.

"This is practically a free gift!" Qin Yuan smiled and immediately turned back. With a push of the accelerator, he locked onto the six people ahead and gave chase.

"Brother Yuan, where are we going? It's late at night, shouldn't we get some rest?" Li Erniu asked with a simple, honest smile.

"Where?" Qin Yuan chuckled. "To eliminate some soldiers, of course!"

1,000 meters was very close. In a moment, Qin Yuan had circled to the side of the group of six.

"Range, 100 meters! Perfect elimination, no pressure!" After a quick glance, Qin Yuan opened fire.

*Da-da-da! Da-da-da-da-da!*

With almost no aiming, Qin Yuan unleashed his most powerful Universe-Level rifle marksmanship. In an instant, six bullets reached the center of the six men's foreheads.

"Ah!" A chorus of screams erupted from the six. Immediately, blue smoke—the signal of being eliminated—rose from their bodies. If anyone had observed closely, they would have seen that every single one of them had been hit right in the center of the forehead.

"Universe-Level marksmanship is truly terrifying," Qin Yuan noted, having observed everything clearly through his powerful night vision. Even in a real combat scenario with high-speed firing, hitting everyone in the forehead—even Fan Tianlei would be shocked if he saw this.

"Erniu, go collect the spoils!" Qin Yuan smiled and led them toward the location of the six soldiers.

"What? Brother Yuan, where are they? I didn't even see anyone, and you've already taken them out?" Li Erniu scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

Qin Yuan smiled calmly, "They're right up ahead."

The six Blue Force soldiers were stunned at this moment. The night was pitch black, and for the sake of concealment, they hadn't even turned on their flashlights. Yet, in these conditions, they had been eliminated! They didn't even know where the attacker was! Could there be a more frustrating way to die?

Qin Yuan and Li Erniu appeared, confiscated all the rifles and magazines from the six, and then sped away while the soldiers stood there in shock.

Immediately after, Qin Yuan began his joyful hunting trip. Since the system had issued a mission, he naturally had to seize the opportunity and make good use of it, right?

At the same time, at the Blue Force command post, Fan Tianlei received the report from the six and couldn't help but offer a bitter smile. "Qin Yuan, oh Qin Yuan! I've really shot myself in the foot this time! Not only did you eliminate my Wild Wolf squad and successfully stop the decapitation plan, but you've also silently taken out six more of my soldiers?"
