Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Finishing Move - Tornado Destroys the Parking Lot!
Chen Miao stopped thinking about all the messy things, as the living dead had already charged in front of him. He shook his head to clear his thoughts.
Then he took a deep breath.
He was ready to experiment with the Occupation Effect that accompanied his Second Turn as "Gun Devil" — within a hundred-meter radius, all bullets could move according to his will, a power that could almost be considered a bug-like domain ability.
"Ratatat!!"
Without any hesitation, he unleashed a barrage of gunfire!
A metal storm like a raging dragon instantly enveloped a group of living dead about to emerge from the vehicles, and just as the bullets were about to hit, they suddenly veered off course, striking a shop on the side.
"Ding, congratulations, you have killed 1 living dead. 499 more needed to complete the task."
Chen Miao paid no attention to the prompt that sounded in his ears and looked toward the shop that his bullets had utterly destroyed with some mild surprise. That turn just now wasn't a mere ninety-degree turn, but a full one hundred and eighty degrees.
The bullets had made a complete about-face.
The bullets even maintained their impact force?
Isn't this a bit too much in defiance of physics?
How ridiculous is this?
Perhaps this is the charm of the Gunfighting Art.
This meant that from now on, he could achieve a hundred percent hit rate within a hundred meters, not needing to put the gun against the enemy's head for a guaranteed hit, though he couldn't control it too delicately.
For instance, he had wanted to control half of the bullets to go left and half to go right.
This was not possible.
Which also meant that the idea of controlling the bullets to write characters in the air was not feasible.
However, he felt that the reason he couldn't do it wasn't that the Occupation Effect couldn't achieve it, but rather that he couldn't. His brain couldn't handle the multiple processes, forcing half the bullets to go left and half to the right resulted in his brain 'crashing,' causing the bullets to collide erratically.
After he returned, he should practice drawing circles with his left hand and squares with his right to train his brain's ability to process multiple tasks simultaneously. Then he would likely be able to use this Occupation Effect flexibly and completely.
But soon, he experimented with something new!
"Ratatat!!!"
Chen Miao unleashed another barrage, and this time the bullets began to turn just a dozen meters away from him. A whole 20,000 rounds started to curve in one direction, encircling him like a tornado and completely obscuring his vision.
He couldn't even see clearly what was outside.
If one were to elevate their viewpoint, they would see that a tornado made from Metal Storm had abruptly appeared in the middle of the street, shattering both the living dead charging towards it and the vehicles it touched into pieces.
...
Standing within the eye of the Metal Storm tornado, Chen Miao listened to the continuous prompts by his ear and cracked a smile. It seemed he had discovered something very fun, something that could be considered both offensive and defensive.

Anything trying to attack him would have to pass through the Metal Storm.
He stood still and waited patiently. After about three to five minutes, it seemed as though the tornado's energy had run out. The bullets slowly fell to the ground, scattering all around.
"That long?"
Chen Miao looked at his wristwatch with some surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected the Metal Storm to last that long; usually, if a bullet left the barrel and missed its target, there was no need to wait three minutes for its momentum to be spent.
The only experiment left was to see if he could control other people's bullets if they shot at him and the bullets entered within a hundred-meter radius.
Theoretically, it was possible.
```
The panel explicitly said I could control all bullets within a hundred-meter range, not just my own, but... he had no fucking clue if he could react in time!
Does it take a long time for a bullet to travel a hundred meters?
If he couldn't react before an enemy's bullet entered his hundred-meter radius, what then? But right now, he didn't have the conditions to experiment with this alone, so he could only go back and test it further. He felt there were many more tactics associated with his occupation effect that he hadn't figured out yet.
Because it was the sole hidden occupation, there was no strategy guide for him to refer to; he had to figure it out on his own, slowly.
At least—
If they let him into that Experience Secret Realm again, facing that group of little fuckers shooting arrows at him from a distance, he would be utterly fearless, directly turning them into minced meat with his all-encompassing tornado attack.
...
Ten minutes later, Chen Miao stood at the highest point of the city's rooftop.
There was a number of bloody corpses lying on the rooftop. He stood at the edge, pulled out the Tao Wood version of the Thompson Submachine Gun, took a deep breath, and activated his Second Turn 'Gun Devil' exclusive skill—
'Pierce the Sky with One Shot'!
All the bullets in the magazine turned into a single larger bullet, shooting out with an explosive effect!
The next second.
The 2w bullets in the magazine turned into one gigantic bullet, squeezing out of the narrow barrel in an inexplicably difficult manner. The moment he fired, the entire barrel expanded countless times, until a bullet over a meter in diameter blasted out!
The sight was incredibly shocking!
This utterly illogical phenomenon completely overturned Chen Miao's understanding!
Only when he saw this enormous bullet hit a ruin close by, causing a massive explosion, did he look up at the small mushroom cloud above his head and absentmindedly lit a cigarette to put in his mouth.
"Fun..."
He understood now, completely understood.
Supernatural powers in this world explain everything. Just a moment ago, he was wondering whether having a unique firearm skin would make the bullet a bit too large for the small barrel and whether it could actually be shot.
But soon, he witnessed the scene before him.
If it exists on the panel, it's logical in reality.
If it's logical, it can be realized.
The logic is meticulous and unassailable.
This single bullet destroyed half of an office building, its power greater than that of an average missile, with the only regret being that the bullet was quite expensive, costing him 40 Star Coins.
When money isn't an issue later on.
He could then fire 1w of these max-version bullets at once, forming a tornado around him. He'd like to see who could attack him then.
...
Having experimented with the exclusive skills and occupation effects of the 'Gun Devil', the only hidden occupation, Chen Miao was very satisfied with the results, but this was all based on the premise that he possessed the unique firearm skin.
Thinking about it carefully.
Without the 'Tao Wood' firearm skin, the effect of this hidden occupation might seem just so-so.
It could only make one's firepower slightly stronger than the average gunner, and perhaps the gap would be more pronounced after the Third or Fourth Turn, but at Second Turn there really wasn't much of a difference.
