Chapter 449 Excellent marksmanship... He's afraid Qi Hui will snipe him (9th update)
"Yes, still there," Qi Hui replied immediately. "What's wrong?"

As soon as the message was sent, Qi Hui immediately realized what was happening.
When the movie "Brotherhood of Blades" used a video of him kicking a knife to promote the film, Wu Jing already had an idea.

They wanted to use videos of them hunting and handling guns in the US at the time for early promotion of "Wolf Warrior".
This idea is excellent, and Qi Hui agrees.
Wu Jing's questions now are likely related to "Wolf Warrior".
"Is it time to start the promotion for 'Wolf Warrior'?" Qi Hui's fingers flew across the keyboard as he immediately sent the message.
Having been involved in politics for two lifetimes, Qi Hui had long since honed his lightning-fast typing speed. You can ask Jing... cough cough!
Compared to Qi Hui, Wu Jing was somewhat inferior, after all, he came from a martial arts background and was less skilled in electronic technology.
“Yes, the pre-release promotion for ‘Wolf Warrior’ can almost begin,” Wu Jing replied in a message.
"But not now, let's wait a few more days."

"Okay, I'll send you the video." Qi Hui replied immediately.
"No, Lao Qi," Wu Jing quickly refused, "Why would I give it to you?"

"With so many followers on your account, why don't you just post it directly on your account?"

Qi Hui: “…”

So they were interested not only in my videos, but also in my popularity!
I never expected that you, Wu Jing, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would become so cunning.
"Alright, what can I say, you're the director?" Qi Hui agreed; it wasn't a big deal.

"Old Qi, filming's starting!" Guo Fan's voice rang out on set.
"Come here!"

Qi Hui tossed his phone to his assistant and strode into the film set.

It's time to get started!

……

About nine or ten days later, Wu Jing sent a message saying that the video could be sent now.
Qi Hui didn't rush to post it, but instead inquired about the progress of the post-production work for "Wolf Warrior".

"It's in progress," Wu Jing replied. "The editing is finished, the music is almost done, and now we're working on the special effects."

"I'm planning to release it in early April. Lao Qi, do you have any thoughts?"

"No, early April was fine," Qi Hui replied.

Having reached an agreement, the two logged off and went off to get busy.
An hour or so later, Qi Hui's account updated with a video.

He has tens of millions of followers, but not quite 100 million.
Compared to idols like Lu Han, whose fan base numbers are in the hundreds of millions, Qi Hui's seems rather pathetic.
However, Qi Hui never bought followers or managed a fandom; he did all of that himself.

In other words, they are all living people.

Those who were following the story received the update immediately, and their interest was piqued when they saw it was a video.
Every time Qi Hui releases a video, it causes quite a stir.
Last time they even had a long argument with public intellectuals.

Immediately, the video was opened.
By the way, I'll tag those famous public intellectuals. There's nothing else to it; we netizens just love a good show!

Public intellectuals, let's have another match if you dare!
However, the video content was somewhat different from what they expected; it wasn't a zombie apocalypse like in the US, nor was it the amazing firefighting methods of Americans.

Instead, helicopters

In the video, Qi Hui and Wu Jing are wearing noise-canceling tactical headphones, each holding an assault rifle equipped with a holographic sight.
The two men's guns were secured to ropes on the helicopter door, muzzles pointed downwards.

The helicopter roared and circled overhead, and a series of English words could be heard in the video.

"Boss, the prey is about to appear. The hunt can begin."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a series of wild boars roared and charged out of the bushes below the helicopter.

The lead wild boar was tall and strong; even from the air, its ferocity and power were palpable.

Behind it followed a dozen or twenty adult wild boars.

"They're here!" Qi Hui's eyes lit up. He released the rifle safety, adjusted the muzzle, and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
Gunshots rang out continuously, bullets flew out of the ejection port, and wild boars on the ground fell one after another.
"Brother Jing, help me finish off the enemy!" Qi Hui said with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, my marksmanship is pretty good!" With that, Wu Jing fired his gun.
The wild boar on the ground, still struggling after being shot by Qi Hui, was singled out by Wu Jingyi and shot down with a rifle.

Gunshots rang out continuously, and wild boars fell one after another.
The video content is short, simple, and repetitive, yet few people quit; instead, they watched it with great interest. On the left side of the video, a few lines of text scrolled, explaining to viewers how wild boars were rampant in the United States, damaging crops and causing great distress to farmers.

Not only did Qi Hui and his group not have to pay for hunting wild boars, the farmer even paid them.
"Wow, that's amazing aim! I'm not even this accurate when I play CS!"

"Holy crap, this looks so relaxing!"

"Let me do it, I'll pay, let me play!"

"You? You've never even touched a gun!"

"Damn, how is Qi Hui's marksmanship so accurate? He actually took down a wild boar with one shot!"

"Indeed, this is shooting at moving targets, and they're taking them down one by one. Look at Wu Jing over there, he's even messing up the follow-up shots."

"That's right, compared to Wu Jing next to him, the difference in skill is obvious!"

"This is outrageous!"

"..."

In the comments section, netizens were discussing it extensively.
This scene was so novel; they had never seen anything like it before!

China is still in the era of text and image-based internet; data traffic is expensive and Wi-Fi is scarce.

Even browsing Baidu Tieba requires using data-saving mode; only when I see something I really want to see do I reluctantly click to view the image.

Many video contents that will be commonplace in a few years are things that today's netizens have never even seen.
This was the first time they had ever seen shooting scenes that were comparable to those in a live-action video game.

Especially since the one who fired the shot was the big star Qi Hui, and Wu Jing was there to follow up with a shot; this just felt unusual.

The video was quickly and widely shared, and Qi Hui's videos also appeared on other video websites.

Actually, there's no need for that at all. Qi Hui had already registered accounts on other video websites and was updating simultaneously, saving netizens the trouble of reposting.

Of course, the account wasn't revealed to belong to him, Qi; it was simply treated as a regular video website account.
……

In contrast to the shock of netizens, public intellectuals, while still bewildered, suddenly became extremely vigilant.

A while ago, Qi Hui updated his Weibo with a post about arriving in the United States.

At first, they thought it was just an ordinary blog post, an ordinary message, and an ordinary picture.
However, gradually, Qi Hui's content became increasingly ferocious.

Later on, they were even forced into a corner where they had no way to refute or do anything.
The public intellectuals felt a chill run down their spines when they recalled what had happened recently.
What should we do now? Should we immediately launch a counterattack?
But the idea was quickly rejected.
Counterattack? They're barely able to protect themselves now. Have they forgotten the desperate situation they faced not long ago?

Thinking of this, the public intellectuals could only obediently bury their heads in the sand and pretend they hadn't seen anything.

Despite being tagged by netizens, he just won't show his face.
Can't afford to provoke, can I still not hide?

……

Haidian, villas

"Damn it... fuck!" Watching Qi Hui relentlessly firing and slaughtering indiscriminately on the video, Teng Huatao felt a chill run down his spine.

These are live pigs, heavier than people!
How come this bastard doesn't even blink?
What about murder? Could it be the same?
Thinking of this, Teng Huatao felt his throat go dry and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Where did that bastard Qi Hui learn such marksmanship? He's like a professional gunman!

Unlike public intellectuals who bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, Teng Huatao is genuinely afraid.
He was afraid that Qi Hui would snipe him!
