Chapter 196: If We Are Filming, We Should Film This Kind of Action Movie (Part one)
Lin Chuxue looked at Xu Cheng, a bit shocked. She could clearly feel that Xu Cheng had changed. Don’t know when it all started, but he had become different.
Perhaps it was from when he fought Gate Master Yan, or perhaps when he single-handedly took on the 50 or so North Gate gangsters inside that iron fence, she felt that Xu Cheng had become a lot stronger. As for how he got stronger, she couldn’t really describe it. Maybe power, maybe changes in almost every aspect, it all really surprised her.
The deeds he did in Shangcheng made Lin Chuxue feel like a stranger to him, and it also made her regret, feeling that she missed so many of his experiences in life. As a childhood sweetheart, Lin Chuxue felt that she should try to recover these lost times they hadn’t been together, so she came to the military camp. Now, the more she got to understand Xu Cheng, the more pleased she was to see how excellent he had become. It really made her proud.
But, what made her most touched and thankful was his unchanged feelings towards her – whether she was there to see it or not, he was always standing at the same place, and he never left.
No one wouldn’t be happy to hear others complimenting the person they liked, especially women, hoping that their man could shoulder the sky, and shoulder the future for them. When that head instructor’s mouth were filled with compliments of Xu Cheng, Lin Chuxue felt really proud. Although they had not disclosed their relationship to the public, she was still really happy for Xu Cheng. At that moment, Lin Chuxue looked at Xu Cheng and suddenly thought to herself, maybe he would really be able to go back to their home in Britain with her.
Xu Cheng ignored Guo Hao who had his mouth wide open due to shock, and he directly tossed a gun to Zhou Zihao as he said to everyone else that was also shocked, “Come on, get ready, I will teach you how to hold the gun and aim.”
Yan Xian and the others finally came back to their senses. Seeing how the camera caught them being shocked by Xu Cheng’s performance, he really wanted to slap himself for giving Xu Cheng a chance to shine. Immediately, he coughed and commented, “It still feels a bit slow, I remember the world record for this is 0.35 seconds, Instructor Xu probably used one second just now.”
Xu Cheng only smiled and didn’t bother to entangle himself with this argument with Yan Xian. When the actual show aired, there would be people that study how long he really used.
Xu Cheng waved at them to gesture for them to come to the shooting range. “All of you come over and get ready, the ladies can use pistols, and the guys will use rifles. We will play a game, and whoever loses has to perform what they are most capable of.”
The girls might not be able to lift the rifles, or even if they could, it would be hard for them to find a sense of balance, so Xu Cheng let them pick pistols instead. Meanwhile, the guys could pick the more domineering rifles.
The six of them gathered around, and Yan Xian picked up a pistol. It was inconvenient for him since he only had one hand, but he could still use the casted arm to support the other hand to hold a posture. Originally, the director didn’t want him to participate, but this guy just really want to be in more frames.
“Do you see the rings in the front? This is an electronic board that will record and send feedback to the display. There are 10 rings, with the outer ring being 1 point and the bullseye worth 10 points. Now, everyone has 10 shots, and let’s see who scores the most points. The last 2 places will have penalties. Now, I will teach you how to use pistols. Initial users should stand with their feet apart with two hands on the gun, aiming it at the target. Holding it with two hands allows you to control the recoil better while increasing accuracy, and it is also suitable for users with weaker wrists.”
Lin Chuxue asked in curiosity, “But in the movies, people often shoot with one hand.”

Xu Cheng smiled and responded, “That’s what people do in actual combat, and the difficulty is also high up there. The user needs to have strong wrist and arm strength and undergo tons of shooting practice in order to achieve relatively good shooting results. Usually, only well-trained elite troops or special forces can master this way of shooting.”
“Oh? Really?” Yan Xian felt like his opportunity was here again. “Then in the movies I played in the role of a lone hero, all those actions could only be done by someone highly skilled?”
Xu Cheng nodded and then passed a pistol with bullets to Yan Xian, “You can try it in reality.”
After taking the gun and bullet, Yan Xian went to the shooting room. After putting on the earmuffs and protection glasses. He took aim with one hand at the targets at the 50-meter mark. He focused really hard, but the display beside him showed that only 2 out of the 6 shots landed, and they were 1-point and 2-point shots.
Xu Cheng said, “That’s a big target too, and normally, the bad guy is always moving, so a policeman with bad aim will rarely land a hit.”
Yan Xian wasn’t feeling embarrassed about not getting a good score because he was only there to test out the difficulty. Now, his true intention was revealed. “Instructor Xu, didn’t you say only well-trained elites or special forces could do well on this? Aren’t you the representative of the special ops division? How about you give us a show?”
He tried really hard just now, yet he only landed 2 shots. The difficulty was evident, but the more difficult it was, the happier he was as he thought, Don’t you like to show off? I will let you do it, and if you fack this up, watch how I will pressure the director to swap you out for someone else!
Xu Cheng paused for a moment and then laughed. “It’s fine, I’m just here to teach, you guys play. You are the stars of this show, you don’t have to give me the protagonist spotlight.”
Yan Xian sneered in his heart, Coward?
He immediately gave Guo Hao a look.
Guo Hao laughed and said, “It’s fine, Instructor Xu, besides trying to get a good rating, the show this season is also trying to help with recruitment for your military region for next year. That’s why you should represent the military region and perform more, we won’t mind at all because we all want to witness how powerful our nation’s soldiers are.”
Zhou Zihao: “Instructor Xu, just wow us again.”
Liu Ziqi: “Yeah, you should try shooting like the protagonist in the movies, it’s really cool! Just like Brother Yan Xian in the movies, I feel like he gives off the most masculine feel in the entertainment circle when he’s filming gun battles.”
Yan Xian smugly brushed his hair backward.
Xu Cheng chuckled. “That kind of cool posture when shooting would only make him a target. In reality, he would be on the floor and become a part of the background in one second.”
Yan Xian snorted. “Oh really? Instructor Xu? Just pretend that I’m that target at the 50 meter mark making a cool pose, what are you going to do?”
Xu Cheng pressed 12 bullets into two pistols. Then, suddenly, he raised one pistol and took 6 consecutive shots at the target, and the electronic display immediately began showing the results.
+10
+10
+10
…
Six +10s appeared.
All six shots hit, all perfect.
Xu Cheng: “Just like this, 6 headshots.”
Then, Xu Cheng turned around, picking up another gun, and with his head looking towards Lin Chuxue, he began firing again, which meant that he was looking at the exact opposite direction of the target when firing.
+10
+10
+10
…
Under everyone’s dumbstruck expression, Xu Cheng casually said, “If you are going to film, at least film this kind of action movie that makes you look so cool that it looks like you’re hacking.”
