Qu Gao was sitting on the cold and hard ground of the terrace, leaning against the lamp post, the camouflage uniform on his body made him blend in with the surrounding flowers and plants. Moreover, this uniform could effectively prevent his heat from escaping.
In this way, even if the other party has thermal imaging equipment, they will not be able to see you.
This sniper position was carefully selected by Qu Gao. Usually, snipers will do whatever they can to conceal themselves. However, Qu Gao has his own sniper experience. For example, people usually subconsciously ignore positions like this one under light.
Most people would blindly believe that the ambushers would not expose themselves in an obvious place. Qu Gao chose this position based on this psychological blind spot.
This approach allowed him to complete many nearly impossible tasks.
At this moment, Qu Gao was holding his modified sniper rifle and breathing evenly. Even though he had been sitting here for nearly two hours, he did not show the slightest impatience.
Patience is the basic quality of every sniper. Qu Gao has always done well in this regard.
He is already 49 years old this year, which is considered old among the Ascenders.
At the age of 18, Qu Gao awakened the Hunter rank and became a Level 1 Hunter. At that time, he was full of energy and felt that the world was in his control.
It took him three years to accumulate enough progress to be promoted to a Level 2 Hunter.
Some of his peers took only one year to complete the promotion; some were promoted to level 3 in the third year.
Qu Gao finally understood that although he was lucky to awaken, his talent was terrible.
It took him three years to go from hunter to trapper.
It took him twelve full years to be promoted to Level 3 Sniper Master!
And until now, he is still a sniper master.
Although his sublimation progress has been fully accumulated, starting from level 4, every level up requires a sublimation medium.
Each job class and each level requires different sublimation media, and the number of synthetic materials ranges from three to five to more than a dozen.
In order to improve his rank, Qu Gao began to abandon his principles and became unscrupulous, which also caused his reputation to plummet rapidly.
Of course, a Level 3 Ascender doesn't have a very high reputation.
In short, even if one tries every possible means, there are still two types of media materials needed for Qu Gao.
One of them is the star crystal, this material
, is a strategic resource for almost every fortress.
There are only a few ways to obtain star crystals.
1. Join the fortress system, serve it, and earn contribution points for redemption.
2. You must also be within the fortress system and have made outstanding contributions to the fortress, and receive this reward from the fortress.
3. Buying on the black market does not require any prerequisites. The only condition is that you can offer the seller a price that makes him/her happy.
Regrettably, Qu Gao fails to meet any of the above three requirements.
With his reputation ruined, he could no longer be recognized by any fortress and could not join the fortress system. As for the black market, Qu Gao had many opportunities to obtain ectoplasm crystals, but unfortunately, he could not produce what the seller needed every time.
Just when he arrived at the Bay Fortress in the south of Donglu as a gold digger, he got this job from Qin Jie through an intermediary.
Knowing that Qin Jie was going to deal with the Ascendants among the Night Walkers, basically no one was willing to take on this deal. The Night Walker Exploration Corps was the official Ascendant group of Skyfort, and being an enemy of them meant that even if they could leave Skyfort afterwards, they would be in trouble.
But from now on, you can never step foot here again. For those gold diggers who want to develop in the long run, it is not worth it to make enemies with a fortress for a business deal.
But when he heard that the price Qin Jie offered was actually a star crystal, Qu Gao took it without saying a word.
So now, he was sitting in the terrace garden of the Qin Mansion, waiting for the warrior who was said to be of the God of War rank but was only level 1 to come.
This is a piece of cake for Qu Gao.
The War God class excels at frontal impact, and the combat power of high-level Sublimators is truly terrifying. However, if it is only level 1, Qu Gao believes that as long as it can hit the opponent, an ordinary solid bullet is enough to kill them.
You don't even need to add your own abilities.
This is a sure-win deal, and Qu Gao doesn't care at all about not being able to come to Skyfort in the future.
There are no less than thirty fortress cities in East Continent. Even if the Skyfortress is missing, there are still more than twenty fortresses for him to explore.
Thinking of this, Qu Gao couldn't help but sneer at the short-sightedness of those guys.
but... ... .
Why hasn’t that boy named Tianyang come yet
It’s not that he’s anxious, but Qu Gao still wants to finish it quickly. After all, lying on the soft bed is better than sitting here.
At this moment, without any warning
, a beam of light shot out from the street outside the Qin Mansion!
The beam penetrated the defenseless wall and hit a vehicle parked in the open space in front of the main building. The fuel tank of the vehicle was detonated by the beam, turning into a bright orange fireball.
Fragments of the car body flew violently, and the shock wave even caused the windows of the main building to explode into pieces!
The sudden explosion made Qu Gao's heart skip a beat. The opponent's opening move in this way was really beyond his expectations.
Then came the unexpected attack.
Beams of light blasted into the Qin Mansion at a very high frequency, heading towards the second floor of the main building. Judging from the firing frequency of the energy beams, a type of star element firearm emerged in Qu Gao's mind.
Assault Rifle!
A rifle that can fire continuously and at a high frequency is a powerful weapon against low-level criminals.
It is easy to use it to attack a building, especially a noble residence with no defenses and not considered a target of such a weapon.
The Qin Mansion's beautifully tiled exterior wall lasted less than three seconds before it was knocked down by the high-frequency energy beam. Then the second floor of the main building was directly exposed to the threat of the beam, and Qu Gao, who was on the terrace, felt the main building shaking.
He just felt as if he was sitting on a volcano!
Although Qu Gao knew that Qin Jie had prepared a substitute on the second floor early in the morning in order to lure the other party into the mansion.
He should have hidden in a safer place, but no one could guarantee that the main building would not collapse under the concentrated fire of the attackers. If Qin Jie was buried, Qu Gao would not get his reward.
Thinking of this, Qu Gao quickly lay on the ground, with his sniper rifle poking out of the bushes. Through the electronic sight, he could easily see someone lying under a lamppost on the other side of the street, firing wildly at this side with an assault rifle!
Unfortunately, due to the angle, Qu Gao could not see the man, and even the rifle was only half extended. However, behind the lamppost, Qu Gao saw a piece of clothing.
He laughed. A mere lamppost was no problem for him.
To ensure that there would be no mistakes, he loaded an armor-piercing bullet into the sniper rifle, adjusted the muzzle, locked onto the opponent's head behind the lamppost, and shot!
In the darkness, a faint red line outlined the trajectory of the bullet. The armor-piercing bullet easily penetrated the lamp post, and the assault rifle immediately went silent.
Qu Gao breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he suddenly caught the dull whistling sound produced when an object broke through the air at high speed!
