Chapter 167: Reward for Slaying a Level 2 Character

"Bang!", "Bang!"

Two gunshots rang out consecutively, with less than a second between them.

The spiderweb-like cracks on the piece of glass in front of Liu Xiaotian had nearly doubled in size, but they had not shattered and fallen off.

However, if one looked closely, one would see that a bullet tip had already protruded halfway out from the exact center of the spiderweb-like cracks.

But the guy who was Liu Xiaotian's opponent, hiding in the warehouse, wasn't so lucky.

The bullet fired from Liu Xiaotian's Dragunov semi-automatic sniper rifle precisely pierced that guy's scope, making his fate even worse than the guy who died in Elder Principal's hands.

Let alone the hole at the back of his skull; just the wound around his eye, caused by the bullet dragging shattered glass from the scope through it, would be enough to make anyone with trypophobia break down.

At this moment, Liu Xiaotian was already lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

"Liu, are you alright?" Elder Principal suddenly pushed the door open and asked in a low voice.

at one, one look`nothing, one mistake version%！

If that bullet's propellant had been increased by one-fifth, the bullet tip would now be lodged in Liu Xiaotian's brain instead of hanging on the shattered glass.

Since the system's rewards have been issued, it must be real! Even now, he still finds it hard to believe.

That's why he had Wang Qingshan get off the car and go to provide support.

"Jiaweis" also joined in the fun, and the 3D image immediately began scrolling a line of red Chinese characters: "Congratulations sri obtaining Level 2 character reward……"

Elder Principal quickly stepped forward to help Liu Xiaotian up and led him out of the room.

He even wondered whether the entire underground of Warrior School had been converted into basements.

Not scared? That's nonsense!

Liu Xiaotian: ……

After going down the stairs, the first thing that came into Liu Xiaotian's view was another long corridor.

Moreover, if his cognitive abilities weren't impaired, this place should be a hospital.

As soon as the two appeared, several medical staff in white coats rushed forward with a stretcher, took the blood-soaked, dying young man from Elder Principal and Liu Xiaotian's hands, placed him on the stretcher, and hurried toward a nearby operating room.

In the second-floor corridor of Elder Principal's small building, Liu Xiaotian and Elder Principal jointly lifted the dying young man lying at the doorway of a room, then immediately went downstairs and entered the basement through a hidden door at the turn of the first-floor stairs.

"I'm fine, Principal." Liu Xiaotian came to his senses, his voice trembling slightly.

He could clearly feel his heart pounding violently, and the blood flow in his body seemed to be more than twice as fast as usual.

However, this corridor was brightly lit, with not even a shadow in sight.

If one had to name something, it would be the mission obtained a dozen days earlier to assist in capturing Xiezi.

Adding to the two basements he had already visited, this was the third one, and each was larger than the last.

Who said basements can only have one level? Take the underground control center he first visited, for example—you had to take an elevator down, and its depth was at least ten meters.

Damn……

After Wang Qingshan got out of the car, Shang Ming immediately had the driver head for the seaside. Only after entering the basement did Liu Xiaotian realize that its floor area was far larger than that of the small building above.

If it weren't for the fact that the immediate danger hasn't been fully resolved, Liu Xiaotian would definitely give Jiaweis a piece of his mind! 'I may be a rich kid, but you're treating me like this?'

He felt that this place was no longer safe, so he wanted to first leave this small island and drift on the sea beyond what he considered a safe distance.

It couldn't be pierced through, but shooting into it posed no problem at all.

To be honest, at least thirty percent of it was guesswork, relying purely on feeling and the experience accumulated from past shooting training.

If the situation continued to develop against him, he would immediately flee.

Liu Xiaotian initially just thought the line of text looked somewhat familiar; only after a few seconds did he realize—damn, isn't that the slogan often seen on banners when those 'successful people' who post about minor injuries on short-video sites drag a few folks to luxury car dealerships for photos?

Although he couldn't be sure whether his shot would hit, he nonetheless flung himself to the ground the instant he saw the bullet lodged in the glass.

At this moment, Shang Ming's anger was near its peak. The unfortunate guy that Liu Xiaotian had taken out was one of his biggest assets for this operation, yet before anything else could happen, he was killed, and Shang Ming's confidence suffered a massive blow, leaving him feeling agitated.

At this time, Wang Qingshan was also kicked out of the car by Shang Ming.

Just then, the system's mechanical voice suddenly sounded:

Liu Xiaotian carefully observed the lighting arrangement in the corridor; it appeared to be installed according to the standard for shadowless operating-room lights, only not as bright.

Although this operation was organized at great expense by him, compared to his own life, what was money? The principle 'as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood' is not understood only by Easterners.

In such a situation, anyone would feel a mixture of relief for having survived and dread at having narrowly escaped death.

The bullet tip that had protruded through the glass was positioned right between Liu Xiaotian's eyes.

Although Liu Xiaotian had undergone several life-and-death experiences during this period, the situation of watching a bullet hover before his eyes was far more real and concrete than an invisible danger.

Anyway, this mission of his wasn't to assist in capturing Shang Ming, and he hadn't even received a clear mission directive.

"Congratulations! You have slain one Level 2 character, earning 360 mission points."

Less than five minutes earlier, he had just received word from his insider Natasha that the operation had failed, and now he had lost one of his strongest subordinates, giving him a bad premonition.

However, Xiezi didn't go to find Shang Ming as planned; instead, he came a cropper at Warrior School, or more precisely, he fell into Liu Xiaotian's hands.

Compared to Shang Ming, Wang Qingshan was more worried about Wang Yanbing's safety, so he also didn't try to stay by Shang Ming's side.

Did he really hit the mark?

As for the basement beneath Elder Principal's small building, its depth was only about one meter greater than that of an ordinary basement.

But he quickly realized that his thinking had been rather narrow.

As for whether that young man could survive, Liu Xiaotian actually held no hope at all.

Liu Xiaotian knew that this young man was probably the Xie Liaosha that Elder Principal had just mentioned, but his injuries were extremely severe.

According to Liu Xiaotian's observation, Xie Liaosha had at least seven penetrating bullet wounds, three in the chest-abdomen area and the remaining four in the legs.

With injuries like that, even if he clung to life, he would basically be a vegetable……
