"Brother, how should I address you?"
The young man looked at Qin Tian, a smile on his face.
Qin Tian remained expressionless, pointing to the number on his chest.
"Ahaha, you don't have a name yet, right?"
The man awkwardly laughed, then introduced himself: "My name is Xiao Yunlong, and this beautiful lady next to me is Liu Zhaozhao."
Qin Tian nodded, studying the two of them.
The two looked young, only in their twenties.
Xiao Yunlong appeared quite refined, with a smile showing a row of white teeth, very infectious.
Liu Zhaozhao had fair skin, pure and gentle, with straight long hair draped over her shoulders. She seemed to have just cried, her eyes red and swollen, adding a touch of broken beauty to her.
"Oh, by the way, the guy at the door is our captain, Qin Dadi." Xiao Yunlong added.
Qin Dadi~
Qin Tian's brow slightly moved, as if he thought of something.
"I've remembered."
Bam~
The sound of the door closing came from outside, and Qin Dadi walked into the room.
"Captain Qin, I've already told him the three of our names."
Xiao Yunlong asked, "But shouldn't we give him a name? Otherwise, calling him by a number feels weird."
"Hmm."
Qin Dadi nodded. Huang Xun had just sacrificed himself, and this cloned soldier had joined the Earth Dragon Team as a sharpshooter. It seemed coincidental, but maybe it was fate.
If that's the case, why not call him Huang...
"I have a name."
Qin Tian suddenly spoke.
"You have a name? Did Instructor Raymond give it to you?" Xiao Yunlong asked curiously.
Qin Tian glanced at Qin Dadi, his tone calm:
"My name is Qin Tian."
Qin... Tian?
Xiao Tengfei sneaked a peek at Qin Dadi, his lips tightly pressed, trying not to laugh yet finding it hard to hold back.
Liu Zhaozhao lowered her head, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of her eyes.
Qin Dadi's face stiffened, his eyelids twitching fiercely.
My name is Qin Dadi, and your name is Qin Tian
Are you trying to be above me?
Qin Dadi glared at Qin Tian but found no expression on Qin Tian's face, though he clearly caught the slight arch of his brow.
This kid, could it be because I just called him trash, he's retaliating with this name?
A thought flashed in Qin Dadi's mind, but he himself found it ridiculous.
Can a clone, fresh out of production, having experienced nothing, really feel anger or resentment?
"Ahem, Qin Tian, not bad, it's a good name."
Qin Dadi patted Qin Tian's shoulder, "Then we're kin now, don't worry, your big brother will take care of you."
"Haha, Qin Tian, welcome to the Earth Dragon Team!"
Xiao Yunlong warmly draped an arm around Qin Tian's shoulder, acting all friendly, "From now on, we're comrades, brothers."
"Welcome," Liu Zhaozhao said simply, her tone somewhat lukewarm.
She hadn't gotten over the grief of Huang Xun's sacrifice. Facing Huang Xun's successor, a new sharpshooter joining, she couldn't say she resisted, but at least she couldn't quickly accept it like Qin Dadi and Xiao Yunlong.
Qin Tian nodded, maintaining his usual cool demeanor.
"Qin Tian, have a seat."
Xiao Yunlong pressed Qin Tian into a chair, poured him a glass of water, and curiously asked:
"Can you tell me how you passed the Spirit Bird test? I tried once before and couldn't even hit the wings."
Hearing this, Qin Dadi and Liu Zhaozhao immediately looked at Qin Tian.
They also wanted to know how a freshly manufactured clone managed to complete this nightmare-level shooting task.
Qin Tian blinked, his tone faint: "As long as you have hands, it's enough."
As long as you have hands... it's enough
Their eyes twitched fiercely, that comment sounded like it was asking for a beating.
However, upon seeing Qin Tian's eyes as calm as a lake, they could only shake their heads helplessly.
Forget it, a clone surely doesn't know what it means to be pretentious, it's just speaking its mind.
"Qin Tian, is that your gun at the back?"
Xiao Yunlong changed the topic, glancing at the rifle Qin Tian carried, he smirked: "An 85 standard-issue rifle, decent power, but too slow firing rate. This kind of gun is only good for those Green skinned Orcs."
"Captain Qin, I think we can give Huang Xun's rifle to Qin Tian."
Qin Dadi did not refuse, nodding as he spoke:
"Alright, go bring over all of Huang Xun's things."
"Got it."
Xiao Yunlong quickly ran inside the room, carrying out a black box filled with Huang Xun's personal belongings.
Clack~~
The latch opened, and Xiao Yunlong raised a jet black rifle, its surface sand-blasted, emitting a matte metallic luster, giving a sturdy and durable feel. The muzzle with a large muzzle brake, unique in shape, like a pair of grim fangs, effectively reduces the huge recoil from firing, and adds some intimidation.
"Xiaolong Rifle, Jerald Company's flagship product."
Xiao Yunlong produced a rectangular iron box, tapped it twice and said: "In here are armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds compatible with the Xiaolong Rifle, their firepower enough to threaten Tier Two Spiritualists, here, take it and feel it."
Qin Tian reached out with both hands, taking the rifle. At the moment he held the Xiaolong Rifle, a familiar feeling surged within him, as if this rifle had been with him for decades, with every part deeply imprinted in his mind.
Qin Tian caressed the gun's body, the cold, sand-like texture sending a slight shiver through his soul.
"Thank you."
Qin Tian expressed his gratitude sincerely, and his earnest demeanor made everyone feel a bit unaccustomed.
"No need to thank, these are all things left by a former teammate."
Qin Dadi's voice was deep, "Such a good rifle only won't gather dust in the hands of a sharpshooter."
"Yunlong, give the rest of the stuff to Qin Tian to try out as well."
"Okay."
Xiao Yunlong took out several more items from the box: a silver combat suit, laser pistol, magazine pouch, and multi-function combat helmet...
Once fully equipped, a rugged and resolute special forces soldier appeared before them, with a hard-lined face. Under a transparent visor, those eyes revealed a cold and calm demeanor.
The trio's gazes were distracted, as if seeing a familiar shadow overlapping with Qin Tian.
Whew~
Qin Dadi took a deep breath, his gaze clearing up. Qin Tian was not Huang Xun, and he was not a replacement for anyone.
"Qin Tian, these things are now yours. I hope you can use them well." Qin Dadi patted Qin Tian's shoulder, his voice carrying a hint of emotion, like he was entrusting the most precious of items to him.
Qin Tian nodded slightly, but the resolve in his eyes was heavy and intense.
He could guess why Qin Dadi and the others were treating him so well, largely driven by their previous teammate, who was likely the original holder of the Absolute Gunmastery.
But whatever the reason, he was grateful to the Earth Dragon Team and was fortunate to have joined such a squad.
Beep Beep Beep
Just then, Qin Dadi's watch suddenly emitted a rapid beeping sound.
He raised his arm for a glance, speaking in a deep voice:
"There's a mission."
"Captain Qin, what mission?" Xiao Yunlong asked.
Qin Dadi's tone turned icy: "There are some wild cats prowling around our camp, the command center has ordered us to skin them."
"Those Cat-men again."
Liu Zhaozhao's brow furrowed, a mass of crimson flames rose sharply from her palm.
Waves of heat spread outwards, as the room's temperature surged.
Qin Tian's eyes lowered slightly, feeling a stir within.
Flame Superpower?
What kind of world is this~
