Chapter 917 - 922: The 2nd Place
Zhang Yong was at a loss for words. As an experienced mercenary, he knew Brian was right.
Snipers are snipers, shooters are shooters, and it’s crucial to distinguish the two. Just like an Olympic shooting champion would have a higher starting point as a sniper than a green recruit, it’s not certain that the champion could become the best sniper.
"Sniping is a technique, no, sniping is an art, and Stone Statue is the person who has taken this art to its ultimate level."
After speaking indifferently, Brian confidently said, "I admit, Gong Yang is the best shooter I’ve ever seen; the most oppressive, able to change the dynamics of the battlefield and destroy the enemy’s morale. But he’s not the best sniper. The process by which Satan sniped Deyo shows that. Gong Yang may be the best precision shooter in the world, but he’s not the best sniper. He’s not even better than Rabbit."
Yang Yi took a breath and said, "I’d rather take on Rabbit. I can engage in a sniping duel with Rabbit, but I’d never expose myself to Gong Yang’s line of sight, because I know there’s a chance in a duel with Rabbit. But if I’m in Gong Yang’s sight, I’m as good as dead, no, I’m already dead."
Brian spoke gravely, "Do you think Stone Statue couldn’t do that? Trust me, for a true sniper, marksmanship is important, but it’s not everything. If Stone Statue were to face Gong Yang, Gong Yang wouldn’t even get the chance to pull the trigger."
Yang Yi and Gong Yang were neither enemies nor friends—strictly speaking, definitely not enemies. Gong Yang’s shooting had convinced both Yang Yi and the people from the Organization of Water, so although Gong Yang could only be said not to be an enemy, Stone Statue was definitely one of their own. Yet Yang Yi dared not believe that Stone Statue was better than Gong Yang.
There was no particular reason, just disbelief. If pushed for a reason, it would be that Gong Yang had already won everyone over, while Stone Statue had not.
It seemed Brian had fallen into reminiscence; after pondering for a long time, he finally said, "I don’t even know Stone Statue’s real name. He joined Pandora Box under his nickname. Before that, he was in the Army, the 82nd Airborne Division."
