Chapter 539: Man and Gun as One
As soon as these contemptuous and arrogant words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
So arrogant!
Simply too arrogant!
However... Li Bing indeed has the capital to be arrogant!
Hitting a target eight hundred meters away with a 95 and still getting all perfect tens, this marksmanship is simply absurd!
The competition manager also believes that Li Bing is most likely the champion of this event.
But announcing the award to Li Bing without the competition result is disrespectful to the contestant Ye Huan.
The principle of Disney Wonderland is that the customer is king, and we cannot do anything disrespectful to customers.
"Sir, sorry."
The competition manager said seriously, "We haven't received any request from contestant Ye Huan to forfeit the match, so the competition must continue as usual. Please wait a moment, and after his final score is in, we can announce the champion and runner-up and distribute the prizes."
Li Bing was very impatient.
Liu Daming was the same, his face showing impatience.
If they could get the Pink Lover earlier, he could make that top-notch foreign beauty kneel and sing of victory.
He angrily scolded the competition manager, "How can you not be flexible at all? Li Bing has shown the most extreme perfect score; how could that guy Ye Huan surpass him?"
"As I said, those are the rules. As an employee of Disney Wonderland, I must adhere to them."
"If you can't wait, you may leave."
The competition manager was somewhat annoyed by the reprimand, but did not explode, instead signaling towards the exit with a "please" gesture,
Leave?
A joke, they're just about to get the flowers; leaving now would mean losing everything, leaving not even their underwear!
Li Bing and Liu Daming both snorted coldly and shut up.
Before long, bursts of gunfire echoed on the shooting range.
Clearly, Ye Huan had started shooting.
However, most of the people present were uninterested.
After all, with a champion whose record was so absurd, who would care about the result of a runner-up?
Just like most people only know the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, but don't know the second highest, K2.
The glory of the champion can infinitely overshadow the runner-up!
"Hahaha, what a laugh!"
Suddenly, there was a mocking laugh in the crowd.
"Look, that kid is overestimating himself, shooting at the eight-hundred-meter target, the first shot's a ten, but everything after missed, haha!"
Everyone became interested and looked towards the range, then all showed mocking smiles.
On the target eight hundred meters away, there was only one bullet hole in the very center, the ten-ring.
This indicated that all the other bullets missed!
Even Li Bing, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but let his lips curve into a smirk full of mockery when he focused on it.
The maximum effective range for a 95-style rifle to maintain shooting accuracy is only five hundred meters. Beyond five hundred meters, the trajectory becomes very unstable, and without a special forces-level marksmanship, it can't be handled.
To fully control it, at least a seventh-level shooter's ability is required!
This Ye Huan guy is truly overestimating himself!
...
About a minute later, the gunshots stopped.
A staff member jogged up to the award podium and whispered something into the competition manager's ear.
The competition manager looked surprised and gave the staff member a look that said, "Is this true?"
The staff member swallowed with difficulty and then nodded.
"Alright, I understand the situation. You may go down now," the competition manager said in a steady voice.
After the staff member left, the competition manager activated the floor microphone on the awarding stage.
"Buzz..."
After a piercing sound, the competition manager cleared his throat and said loudly,
"I announce that the Disney Wonderland Shooting Contest has now come to an end!"
"Next, I will announce the specific rewards and the list of winners for this competition!"
"Clap. Clap. Clap."
The audience applauded.
"In this competition..."
"The champion's prize is: a check for one hundred thousand yuan, a chain of 95-style gun model keychains, and the ultimate prize - the Pink Lover!"
"The runner-up's prize is: a check for ten thousand yuan."
"The third place prize is: a check for five thousand yuan."
"Prizes for 4th to 10th place are: a check for one thousand yuan."
"The contestants from 4th to 10th place are: Zhang Yuge... Ali Muto..."
"The third-place winner in this competition is: Pai Daxing, please invite Pai Daxing on stage to receive the award!"
The competition manager said with a smile, looking at Pai Daxing in the audience.
Again, there was applause from the audience.
But Pai Daxing's face showed no sign of joy.
Not only was there no joy, but he even spit on the ground with a face full of displeasure before coming onto the stage.
It can be said that the prizes below the championship were quite shabby.
The third place was also pitiful, only five thousand yuan, not even enough for decent soup.
After reaching the stage, the competition manager immediately asked with a smile, "May I ask if contestant Pai Daxing has any acceptance speech?"
"I just want to say, some contestants were really lucky."
"Originally, I would have at least been the runner-up."
"The prize in my hands would have been at least ten thousand yuan!"
Pai Daxing snorted twice beside the microphone, went to pocket the five thousand yuan check, and angrily walked off the stage.
For his words, almost everyone in the audience agreed.
Pai Daxing's result in the semifinals was ten rings more than Ye Huan!
Only two rings short, he could have tied with Li Bing.
Ye Huan was ten rings short of Pai Daxing, only scoring 288 rings.
He had only won a single ring in the previous rounds.
In the final, he overestimated himself by trying to hit the eight-hundred-meter target, ending up with a ten-ring score!
Simply absurd.
If Pai Daxing had been placed in a group with Ye Huan in the semifinals, Ye Huan would have at most won third place, and the runner-up would have belonged to Pai Daxing.
On the award stage, the competition manager maintained an awkward yet polite smile before clearing his throat and saying, "The second-place winner in this competition is: contestant Li Bing, let us clapping welcome him!"
