In the real world, I'm timid, but in the virtual world, I strike with a heavy blow.

Such is Li Xiang's life credo.

In the real world, you only live once, but in the virtual world, you can restart if you fail.

Li Xiang dashed towards the next obstacle, raising his gun to shoot, as the person stood there dumbfounded.

Bang~

An armed robber taking cover behind the assault vehicle fell instantly.

"I aimed at the chest, how did I hit the head?"

In real combat, few aim for the head, not out of mercy for the enemy, but because the head is a smaller target, harder to hit compared to the chest. Only those extremely confident in their gun skills aim for the head.

Li Xiang wasn't very confident in his gun skill. To improve accuracy, he aimed for the chest, but by a twist of fate, he ended up with a direct headshot.

"Undercover cops are here, quick, quick, get in the car."

"Cover, cover fire."

"Damn it, how did the cops get here so fast?"

"Foolish cop, fight back, suppress them with firepower."

Facing the sudden situation, the armed robbers quickly responded, several long guns spraying bullets towards Li Xiang's position. In no time, granite fragments flew around Li Xiang, riddling the area with holes.

The expert, seeing Li Xiang had charged ahead, had no choice but to open fire in support. His gun skill was excellent, and at the sound of a shot, another robber fell dead.

"Get in the car fast, they're not alone, if we don't leave now, it'll be too late."

Meanwhile, the armed robbers sped up their movements, throwing the stolen black bags into the car, ready to flee.

Just then, other police officers who had been practicing at the shooting range also caught up, and gunfire erupted from all directions.

"How did the cops arrive so fast?"

"How would I know?"

"Charge, charge, charge!"

Bang bang bang~

Of course, they didn't know.

The city's best marksmen had been practicing at the indoor shooting range not far from Guosheng Bank; they had stirred a hornet's nest without realizing it.

With the timely support breaking the robbers' firepower, Li Xiang finally could lift his head.

His position was just right, in the direction of the robbers' assault vehicle. As Li Xiang lifted his head, he saw the vehicle already closing in, even catching the driver's panicked expression.

No time to think, he jumped out of cover, held his gun in a isosceles stance, aiming at the driver, and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang~

Knowing his gun skill wasn't very good, especially against moving targets, he didn't expect to hit the enemy with one shot. To not waste this prime opportunity, he fired several shots in succession.

Crash~

With a few shots, the driver was killed, and the assault vehicle careened out of control into the greenery strip, stopping only when it crashed into a tree.

The surviving robbers in the car, though dazed by the crash, knew it was a matter of life and death and scrambled out to fight back.

Although the officers were sharpshooters, with handguns, they were hesitant against the rifles' firepower.

They could only return fire during magazine changes.

Fortunately, the explosion noise had cleared nearby citizens, providing a temporary battlefield for both sides.

The police no longer had to worry about hostages.

After a brief standoff, the distant sound of many sirens was heard, as police reinforcements arrived quickly.

The armed robbers seemed to sense their fate and made a last-ditch stand, spraying bullets at Li Xiang and his group as if bullets cost nothing.

Special police vehicles arrived one after another not far from the battlefield. Fully armed SWAT officers poured out, forming a larger battle formation than Li Xiang had ever seen in reality, only in TV finales did such scenes occur once or twice.

But now, he was immersed in the experience.

The arrival of SWAT signaled the robbers' end.

A large contingent of SWAT surrounded them: "You are surrounded, immediately drop your weapons and surrender, or we will retaliate."

Their onboard speakers promoted surrender, but they met stubborn resistance.

"Fire!"

Suddenly, a barrage of gunfire more intense than before engulfed the battlefield.

The robbers' cover was riddled with holes until there was no movement, when the gunfire ceased.

Terror.

Truly terrifying.

This focused crossfire turned the robbers' location into a sieve.

SWAT advanced cautiously with riot shields in a combat formation, searching for any movement, ready to unleash a hail of bullets at the slightest alert.

"All robbers have been neutralized, danger alert lifted."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this operation, he had killed two men.

"You're brave, weren't you afraid of being shot full of holes?"

Unbeknownst to him, the expert who taught him shooting suddenly appeared by his side.

"If you're afraid of dying, don't be a cop, just do it."

He only bragged like this in the game, in real life, faced with bullets flying around, he wouldn't dare run around carelessly.

It's known that on the battlefield, new soldiers fear artillery, veterans fear bullets, meaning veterans can judge shell landings by the whistling sound, new recruits can't, veterans' biggest fear is unpredictable stray bullets, which bring an unknown death.

Li Xiang thought of himself as not a veteran, so he feared both.

"I now know why you can participate in the city competition despite your poor gun skill, it's your reckless spirit, you can achieve great things. I'm Gao Jian, from the city criminal police squad, you are?"

"Li Xiang, just transitioned to an auxiliary police officer."

"You've got potential."

Li Xiang's bravery earned Gao Jian's admiration, who occasionally provided tips on shooting, especially in the three competition events: precision pistol shooting, rapid shooting, and comprehensive application shooting.

Without Gao Jian's coaching, he wouldn't progress in those disciplines.

So the key to this round was to maintain a good relationship with Gao Jian, only gaining his approval would lead to full mentorship.

Li Xiang did not disappoint. Before the city competition, his accuracy in stationary targets could consistently hit around the ninth ring, and the tenth ring often appeared too. Although his rapid and comprehensive shooting scores were slightly lacking, his skill improved dramatically.
