Chapter 2: Sharpshooter Skills

Beep! Insufficient permissions, unable to activate

Opened

Upon hearing this, Tu Hao was also left in a state of confusion, but he could be certain that he could not enter the mechanical storage. However, from this, Tu Hao could also ascertain that there should be no danger to him here; otherwise, the alert directed at Tu Hao would not be about insufficient permissions, but rather about the detection of an intruder.

Reaching out to press on the adjacent screen, the metal door opened, revealing a vast and empty hall. In the hall stood an object reminiscent of a space capsule, exuding a strong sense of science fiction. Driven by curiosity, Tu Hao stepped into the capsule, which promptly closed behind him.

Floating Bullet: Fire a powerful bullet at the enemy, causing them to levitate

Knee Strike: Deliver a powerful knee strike to the enemy, causing them to become airborne. The speed of the knee strike can be increased when executing the move.

Upon reading this, Tu Hao immediately turned to the screen and said

Could it be that strange power outage? After much contemplation, Tu Hao could only attribute all of this to that incident. After all, that power outage had led Tu Hao to encounter such an enigmatic event as time travel, and adding some game skills to the mix didn't seem so extraordinary anymore

Beep!

The introduction of the energy bomb made Tu Hao feel that it was quite impressive, and he had no other thoughts. However, when he saw the introduction of the levitating bomb, Tu Hao couldn't help but be taken aback, because both the name and the effect of this levitating bomb were exactly the same as that of the levitating bomb, one of the two initial skills of the sharpshooter in the game.

Completed

Is training in body techniques, such as knee strikes, being conducted

Upon reading this, Tu Hao felt a sense of calmness in his heart. Since there was no danger, he prepared to explore this place thoroughly and also look for something to eat, as he was already on the verge of starvation.

Armory

Martial Arts and Archery Training Room

This cannot possibly be a military base, thought Tu Hao with some regret as he withdrew his hand. Mechanical depots and heavy weaponry storage facilities are clearly not something that can be found just anywhere. Especially when Tu Hao arrived in front of the third metal gate, he became even more certain of his suspicions

Mechanical Library

Insufficient energy points, unable to exchange

Just as Tu Hao was despairingly closing his eyes, waiting for death, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest. Following that, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Tu Hao remembered that this spot was exactly where the unknown round metal badge was located. Immediately, Tu Hao opened his eyes and found that the enormous mantis that had charged at him was now lying on the ground, lifeless.

What the hell, a mantis that can block bullets, how are we supposed to play like this

Tu Hao pressed his hand against the screen beside the heavy weaponry storage, and the mechanical sound echoed once again

Drip

Upon arriving at the metallic gate, Tu Hao immediately noticed several large characters above the gate. On one side of the metallic gate was a screen displaying an image of a hand. Tu Hao walked over and placed his hand on the screen, discovering that the hand image on the screen perfectly matched his own hand.

Upon seeing this, Tu Hao was completely stunned. The handgun was ineffective, and at this moment, Tu Hao had entirely lost his means of resistance, only able to watch helplessly as the sharp blade-like limbs of the mantis struck towards his chest.

Upon entering the ammunition depot, it was not as Tu Hao had imagined, filled with various weapons and ammunition; instead, there was only a machine resembling a vending machine. Approaching this 'vending machine', Tu Hao glanced over it and found that there were only two types of goods available for sale: energy bullets and levitation bullets

After no new discoveries, Tu Hao left the ammunition depot and proceeded deeper into the corridor. Soon, the fourth metal door appeared before Tu Hao.

Faced with the enormous mantis that stood at least one meter tall, Tu Hao did not hesitate for a moment and immediately drew his gun to shoot. However, as the bullet was fired towards the mantis, it was seen that the mantis waved its sharp forelegs, deflecting all the bullets shot by Tu Hao.

Energy bullet: a bullet condensed from energy, more powerful than a conventional bullet, and capable of having additional special effects attached to it

Is it a coincidence

This ... ...

Upon seeing this, Tu Hao couldn't help but be taken aback. However, he quickly regained his composure and walked briskly into the open metal door, eager to investigate further

Tu Hao closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death

Upon hearing this, Tu Hao then noticed that there was a price tag below the energy bullets, indicating that 1 energy point could be exchanged for 10 energy bullets. In contrast, the price of the floating bullets was higher, requiring 10 energy points for 1 floating bullet. Additionally, in the upper right corner of the vending machine, the energy point count displayed a large zero. Besides the prices, the vending machine also provided descriptions of the items for sale.

What place is this

Tu Hao felt somewhat uncertain. However, since he currently had no energy points, he was unable to exchange for a personal trial. After fiddling with the vending machine for a while, Tu Hao made some new discoveries; namely, that the vending machine offered more than just these two items, and there should be many more things available. However, every time Tu Hao attempted to explore further, he received a notification indicating insufficient permissions.

At this moment, the metal badge on Tu Hao's chest emitted a brilliant glow. Suddenly, the radiance of the badge surged, and the blinding light caused Tu Hao to instinctively close his eyes. The moment Tu Hao closed his eyes, his figure also vanished.

Then, a light curtain appeared before Tu Hao's eyes

If the previous appearance of the floating bomb could be considered a coincidence, then the emergence of this knee strike has confirmed to Tu Hao that this is indeed the skill of a sharpshooter in the game. The only thing that puzzles Tu Hao is why the skill of a sharpshooter from the game would appear here

Permission? What permission?

The moment Tu Hao's hand pressed against the screen, a mechanical voice immediately sounded.

Bang bang bang

When Tu Hao opened his eyes again, he found himself in a metallic corridor filled with a sci-fi style. In the distance of the corridor, Tu Hao saw a large metal door, and immediately, he cautiously walked over.

Ammunition Depot

Reaching out to press the button for the energy bullet, however, nothing appeared in the vending machine; instead, a prompt appeared.

Confirm!

Beep! Insufficient permissions, unable to activate

Following the corridor, Tu Hao walked inward, and before long, another metal door identical to the previous one appeared before him, the only difference being the characters on the door

Tu Hao, undeterred, pressed his hand against the screen; however, this time the mechanical voice did not sound. With a crisp chime, the heavy metal door began to slowly open.

Moreover, as a gaming enthusiast, being able to utilize the skills of characters from games is undoubtedly an exhilarating prospect.

It seemed to have realized that it was discovered, and the enormous mantis no longer hid itself, leaping directly down from the tree to pounce on Tu Hao below
