I really don't want to have a girlfriend.

Bypassing the service staff, she requested two tracks, two air pistols, and two boxes of ammunition. Yukinoshita looked at Tenkuji Yu with interest, and even offered a seemingly well-meaning suggestion:

“I’ve been to many professional shooting ranges, and the instructors all say my skills are almost better than theirs. Why don’t you switch to another one?”

"Don't worry." Like receiving a new toy from her parents, Tenkuji Yu didn't look up at her, but instead curiously examined the pistol and bullets in her hand.

“I’ve had intensive training at the shooting range in Hawaii, so I probably won’t lose to you.”

Yang blinked, unable to hide her surprise: "Really?"

"It's fake, my surname isn't Kudo."

"..."

"Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of 666 yen."

Yuu Tenkuji pretended not to see the reward, which was strange in both origin and amount.

The moment he touched the air pistol, his mind flashed through techniques for quickly loading bullets, ways to counteract recoil, whether the muzzle would affect accuracy, and other shooting-related knowledge.

Give him a target, and he can shoot it through at any time.

The accuracy is also beyond doubt; it will never miss the right eye when hitting the left eye, and it will never miss the belly button... or someone else's belly button.

the most important is.

This time, even though he hadn't used any skills yet, he already possessed professional-level shooting ability.

"Have we become passive...?"

Looking at the system panel, Yuu Tenkuji fell into deep thought.

This was undoubtedly beyond his expectations.

He thought the system would only give him one-time skills to spur him on to go further on the mining path—so whether it was playing the piano or throwing, he would try to remember the feelings he gained during the process while using the skills, trying to turn the skills given by the system into his own.

Unexpectedly, the system gave him a big surprise, telling him that he could find a permanent skill and achieve it all in one step.

Although there was indeed a sense of helplessness, like "What was I thinking about all this time?", for Yuu Tenkuji, the main feelings were joy and relaxation—along with the various questions that followed.

What are the prerequisites for unlocking permanent skills? Is it related to Yukinoshita Haruno's psychological transformation?

Is the success rate of skilled, expert, and perfect shipments random?

Is there a guaranteed minimum return? Is it possible to use a "round" strategy (likely referring to a specific type of betting strategy)

If there are permanent skills, what is the point of one-time skills?

Can permanent skills be upgraded? How can they be upgraded?

In this way, the more you know, the more you don't understand.

It's like he just wiped the dust off a treasure. Even after studying it all night, he still only saw the tip of the iceberg of the system god. There are still many unknown functions waiting for him to discover and dig out more benefits.

There's nothing we can do; this system lacks intelligence and simply can't answer his questions.

"All in all, it's a good thing."

With his mind calmed down, Tenkuji slowly exhaled.

He picked up a bullet and flicked it high with his thumb, as if preparing to fire a railgun.

As the bullet fell due to gravity, the pistol suddenly swung half a circle in the air and made a snapping sound.

Before they could even enjoy a moment of freedom, the bullets were already loaded, the muzzle of the gun was steadily pointing to the ground, and they were ready to fire.

The entire set of movements was fluid and graceful, and the overall style was incredibly cool.

The coach next to him opened his mouth slightly, looking at him with a look of astonishment.

Dude, it's just reloading a bullet, why are you acting so cocky?!

Yuu Tenkuji simply shrugged; no one understood his current feelings—when he was a child, he had also dreamed of becoming Nobita Nobi.

Not the one who crawls into people's intestines, but the legendary "number one gunman in the universe".

According to the system's classification, Nobita's marksmanship should be at the perfect level, right?

Although he is only at the expert level now, it should be enough to deal with Yukinoshita Haruno.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out from the side, bringing Sky Temple Yu back to her senses.

Yukinoshita Haruno is testing the waters, or rather, warming up.

Each shot is fired from a separate target. Because you need to confirm the impact point and carefully adjust your accuracy, you can't fire in rapid succession like you would with an electronic gun target.

After five shots were fired, Yukinoshita Haruno put down her pistol, took down the target paper that was slowly being sent back along the track, and looked at it together with the previous four.

"Hmm, five shots and forty-four points..." she chuckled, muttering to herself in a volume that Tenkuji Yu could hear.

"I didn't expect my skills to have declined at all after not playing for so long!"

An average score of eight rings or higher in 10-meter shooting is already at a level suitable for participating in small competitions.

What I just said was not boasting, but Yukinoshita Haruno's shooting skills are indeed comparable to those of a coach and far surpass those of ordinary shooting enthusiasts.

"Then, little Youyou."

Not having seen his loading action, Yukinoshita Haruno turned her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes, but her tone was as gentle as a kind older sister's, as she said:

"Do you want to try shooting a few shots first to get a feel for it? If you don't feel like you're hitting your target today, you can switch to another event?"

They even came up with reasons for his fear of battle.

Tenkuji Yu shook his head, loaded the target paper, and sent it along the track to the shooting point ten meters away.

"No need for a test shot, let's begin."

He turned to the side, raised his right hand to the side to lift the muzzle of the gun, and put his left hand in his pocket to maintain his balance.

His pupils slowly contracted, staring intently ahead, and he calmly spoke:

“If that’s your highest score… I don’t think I would lose to you.”

"..."

The moment she finished speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita's smile vanished, and she stared at Tenkuji Yu with cold eyes and an expressionless face.

But soon, she subtly curled the corners of her lips, turned her head, and assumed the same standard shooting posture.

"Hey~ That's something to look forward to."

His tone remained nonchalant, but the relaxed and casual feeling from before was gone.

"But what about me, your older sister..."

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke softly.

"I hate people who boast the most."

The next moment, a gunshot rang out.

Chapter Twenty-Two: What? My aim was actually pretty good!

During the target practice, neither of them spoke. Instead, they focused on the path connecting the muzzle of their guns to the target paper, slowly and precisely unleashing their bullets.

The atmosphere of this competition was completely different from the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of shooting balloons at the night market. The two solemn and serious eyes seemed to freeze the air, and even the sound of the gunshot seemed to be delayed.

boom--

Yuuki no Yuukino's current mood is unknown to Tenkuji Yu.

To test the limits of his skills, he abandoned all distractions and focused entirely on demonstrating expert-level shooting techniques.

Without the slightest hesitation, every bullet was fired with the most perfect movement, the most perfect posture, and the most precise aim.

His vision seemed to have increased several times in an instant, and he could see the bullseye, which was only the size of a sesame seed, clearly even from ten meters away; his arm would not tremble even when it was stretched out straight, and his senses sensitively measured the bullet's drop and recoil, integrating everything into the finger that pulled the trigger.

The moment he raised his gun, the formula he had hit was already in his hand.

Once the bullets are fired, they never miss—that's right, that's how awesome expert-level skills are!

Place the fifth target paper that hit the bullseye with the previous four together; the bullet holes are neatly arranged, and you can see the table underneath.

As Tenkuji Yu put on the new target paper, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

'If this were perfect, I could probably do things like ricochets, gunfights, invisible shooting, and making bullets curve, right?'

The proficient level means you can hit the target; the expert level means you can hit accurately; and the perfect level means you can hit however you want.

At this moment, Yuzai Tenkuji truly felt as if he had been given a cheat code.

One-time skills won't work; permanent skills will!

Soon, the sixth target was positioned, and the gun was aimed.

Before firing, he considered whether to aim for a nine or eight ring to lower the average score and avoid making a shocking impression.

Otherwise, if he gets all ten rings, not only Yukino Yukinoshita, but even the handsome coach next to him will look at him like he's a monster.

When the name of "Seventeen-Year-Old Gun God" gets out, it will probably attract a lot of trouble.

and so……

"boom!"

Right in the center, the bullseye, the point of impact almost overlaps with the front.

Tenkuji casually removed the sixth target paper, replaced it with a new one, and showed no intention of holding back.

As the old saying goes:

There are so many talented and extraordinary people in the world, no matter how much trouble he gets, it won't be his turn.

What's the benefit of hiding your talents? Does it mean that if someone discovers that you're good at everything and excel at everything, you'll be subjected to some kind of in-depth analysis by some organization?

The reality is actually quite simple. Even if you have a parasite inside your body and are accidentally seen throwing a stone at another parasite, as long as you don't recklessly cause a major disturbance or get seen by government agencies, being slightly different from ordinary people won't bother anyone much.

Furthermore, the mine he is currently mining is called [Yukinoshita Haruno].

A beautiful young female college student, a stunningly beautiful woman with a terrible temper, a well-traveled rich heiress, and a twisted siscon... The last one is unimportant.

When faced with such a formidable opponent, hiding one's abilities is absolutely the most foolish choice.

Holding a paper pickaxe, no matter how beautiful it looks, you can't even mine ordinary iron ore, let alone diamonds.
