Coach Shi began to demonstrate the standard posture.
Lin Li was ready to learn, but suddenly rembered he had another ability.
[Mimicry].
[Mimicry: Specify a behavior pattern, talent, or ability you’ve seen in person in the past month when you use it. After using, you will mimic 50%~150% of that behavior pattern, talent, or ability for one hour. The specific rate depends on your physical condition and ability at the ti of use.
You can accumulate one usage every 48 hours, with a mimicry ability storage limit of 2.]
With a thought, Lin Li hoped... he could mimic Coach Shi’s firearm skills?
[Mimicry successful, mimic rate "150%".]
Seeing the system prompt, he not only successfully mimicked but far exceeded Coach Shi.
However, Lin Li realized his brain had no reaction; no firearms knowledge surged in like "soul of close combat".
"Alright, you can give it a try now." Although noting Lin Li’s distraction, Coach Shi just sighed inwardly, tied the handgun to the safety rope, and then reminded:
"Rember, safety first. Keep the muzzle pointing at the target, don’t put your finger on the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.
Spent shells must not be taken away; before any major movent, like picking sothing up or bending, you must report to first, or I might impulsively take you down."
"Okay, got it."
Lin Li nodded and took the gun from Coach Shi’s hand.
His hand subconsciously aid at the target ten ters away, following a more standard action than Coach Shi’s.
Lin Li raised an eyebrow. So it’s muscle mory being directly mimicked, without involving the brain?
"Alright, you can start anyti now. On your first shot, try not to miss the target—"
"Bang! Bang!"
Before Coach Shi finished speaking, Lin Li had already fired.
To be honest, the gunshots were much louder than Lin Li imagined, even wearing earmuffs, it felt a bit buzzing.
After shooting, Lin Li confidently looked at the screen.
Two closely spaced bullet holes ford a single hole in the center of the 10-ter target.
"Coach, help adjust to the 30-ter target."
Coach Shi: "?"
What do you an? Did you already shoot?
Hitting a ten-ring on a ten-ter target isn’t hard, but two ten-rings in succession is no easy feat, especially for a complete novice?
This kid... is quite impressive!
"Is this really your first ti? Never secretly practiced at ho?" Coach Shi asked, operating both the ten-ter target to lower and the 30-ter target to rise, with curiosity.
"Handgun practice every two days, if I’m in the mood once a day," Lin Li said shyly.
Coach Shi: "..."
What kind of handgun have you been practicing?
"Young man, moderation is key. Don’t wait until you’re middle-aged to lant, the world has no more well diggers." But, unphased, Coach Shi continued his lesson with all his experience, irrespective of whichever handgun.
Lin Li: "?"
What’s this lant over an ocean for? There’s plenty of water.
Though confident in his robust health, Lin Li felt a bit concerned.
"The 30-ter target is ready." Looking at the screen which had switched views, Coach Shi signaled.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Lin Li raised his hand, almost imdiately performing a triple shot.
Ten-ring, eight-ring, nine-ring.
Coach Shi opened his mouth wide, speechless for a long ti.
Previously, it might have been attributed to luck; now, it’s purely skill.
And it’s already reached a level even Coach Shi finds hard to achieve.
Lin Li also looked at his results—not his own but 150% of Coach Shi’s results.
Apparently, the coach’s level was just average—this might be Coach Shi’s 150% limit; it couldn’t maintain consistent hits due to spread and dispersion of trajectory.
Huh?
Suddenly, Lin Li thought of a question.
Mimicry seems to not just be limited to mimicking others’ abilities?
Currently, his ability to shoot handguns was perceived by himself, doesn’t it an he can mimic it too?
[Mimicry successful, mimic rate "150%".]
Lin Li raised an eyebrow, damn it works again, and at the extre rate.
This adds up, aning his shooting skills for the next hour are at 225% of Coach Shi’s?
His feel of the handgun indeed changed once again.
The scope of [Mimicry] is behaviors seen in the past month; so does it an as long as he mimics ’himself’ every month, this ability becos permanently activatable?
And it could get stronger, until one can only mimic their own [100%], stabilizing?
No, as long as he continues body and skill training, ideally, his physical condition should be stronger each use, maybe achieving [105%], [110%]?
Lin Li thought it was feasible.
Moreover, Lin Li’s comprehension was quite good now, and wasn’t hands-on teaching less useful than this ’direct teaching through embodint’ experience right in front?
Teaching by instruction pales against the ghost teaching directly.
Though no new knowledge surged to his mind, relying on mory and comprehension of these physical sensations definitely enhanced his inherent firearm skills.
With these thoughts, Lin Li felt satisfied, rested the gun on the table, and prepared to leave, letting Bai Bufan in.
"Lin Li, do you want to fire an R-rated cannon?" But Coach Shi suddenly stopped Lin Li.
Lin Li: "?"
"Want to play fighter planes? Want to play handguns? Desire the clash of blood and flesh, yearning for audible resonances, striving for everything a man desires? They all belong to R-rated items!" Coach Shi now looked like a salesman, enthusiastically speaking.
But Lin Li wasn’t fooled, squinted at Coach Shi:
"Coach, just say it’s recruitnt."
