The Favored Son of Heaven

“Bounty? Wanted list?”

Qin Fen’s calm eyes instantly flared with light at this moment. Could there be reward money for fighting terrorists?

“You don’t know?” Xue Tian’s face carried a bit of surprise. “Though the Federation is barely unified these recent years, the presence and activities of terrorists are becoming increasingly rampant. In order to fight terrorists, every planet has formulated a terrorist bounty list. There are at least eighty percent of the planet’s terrorist leaders on this list, and they are separated into different levels, different rewards, and different classifications. When a soldier kills a terrorist while on a mission, the soldier can only get half of the bounty, since they are using the military’s intelligence system and weapons. If it’s a mercenary or a bounty hunter, they can obtain the full reward.”

Qin Fen’s shiny eyes soared with incomparable excitement at this moment. So it turned out there was such a way to make money.

“Let’s use Sajjad as an example.” Xue Tian acted like he knew everything there was in the underworld. “There is a reward for capturing him alive, and there is a different reward for killing him. Of course, the reward for capturing him alive is a bit higher. After all, the Federation wants to try getting some information out of his mouth.”

Capturing him alive? Qin Fen shook his head. The difficulty factor for this was far too high. This was especially true because of the danger that came with a plan to capture him alive; he might escape leaving not even a penny for the reward. It was better just to kill him.

“The reward for the dead body also varies.” Xue Tian raised his fingers to count. “For example, if you blow off his head with a gun, then you will need to pay a fixed genetic identification fee when you hand over his corpse. This is to verify that he is indeed someone on the Federation’s wanted list. If you can provide the body with an intact head, then you don’t need to pay the identification fee. You’ll naturally make a bit more money…”

“Cough….” Phoenix gave a gentle cough. “Right now we shall begin planning the mission. Other matters can wait till after the mission planning to be discussed.”

Butcher sat down, and Phoenix, as the commander of the small team, stood up. A large three-dimensional digital map of the concert venue appeared by her hand. “This time we’re not just facing Sajjad by himself. The terrorist organization Scimitar will be there as well. We have yet to possess the information of their hiding whereabouts. If we’re still unable to find them before the concert, we can only carry out the most impenetrable defense at the concert venue.”

The three-dimensional digital image spun slightly to a different angle. Phoenix pointed at the ad hoc dressing room behind the stage. “This is the Flying Hearts’ rest area. To prevent this location from being under attack, we will need to have personal bodyguards for them. This job will be left to Butcher and I to complete.”

Such plans didn’t come as a surprise to Qin Fen. Personal bodyguards not only needed to have superb talent, but they also needed to possess an abundance of combat experience.

Whether it was Qin Fen or Xue Tian, nobody could compare to Butcher and Phoenix in terms of combat experience and close-combat strength. These seasoned soldiers had a lot of experience on the battlefield.

“Qin Fen, you’re in charge of sniping.” Phoenix snapped a finger, and Qin Fen’s face appeared among the complete set of three-dimensional images. “Select a spot on your own. Report it to me after you indicate it on the map.”

Qin Fen nodded. Though he had long since chosen a location on a planar map, he would think long and proper once more now that he had this three-dimensional map at his disposal. Perhaps he could find an even better position using this three-dimensional map.

Phoenix turned around and began explaining Xue Tian his mission assignment. As the outstanding talent of a commander of a small combat team, she was confident that she could take everyone’s strengths and have them be displayed to the highest degree through mutual cooperation.

“God, yet another mission to run.” Endless complaints came out of Xue Tian’s mouth. “I just want to properly appreciate the Flying Hearts’ concert, okay. I heard that there aren’t any photos of them completely naked out in the wild. Hey, it may be possible that I’ll be the lucky guy who has the chance to be the first to take a picture of the Flying Hearts totally naked.”

After a series of assignments were quickly assigned, a short amount of free time remained. This was the time for everyone to make preparations.

Qin Fen arrived before a pile of firearms and parts of firearms. He selected a few parts that he had planned far in advance. He lifted the Barret M82A1 large-caliber sniper rifle and walked to an empty corner to begin quick modifications.

Iron Hand, who had been put in a difficult situation a few days ago by Qin Fen, saw the skill and speed at which Qin Fen modified his gun. His entire person went into a state of stunned silence. The Barret M82A1 possessed the title of the Sniper King back in the day. It was the sniper equipment that came from many years of meticulous research from true firearm experts.

Even a sniper, who had many years of experience sniping, would have to be a very professional sniper talent in order to display the full abilities of this weapon.

Now modifying this weapon? Even a sniper veteran wouldn’t dare to modify it rashly, let alone someone who looked like he just entered the military, someone whose body still carried the air of a recruit newbie.

A gun modder needed to ponder the design over in earnest and for a very long time when seeking to perform a modification. Then the gun modder needed to engage in the modification of the gun with the utmost care. The more precise the weapon, the more cautious one had to be when modifying it.

It wasn’t that Iron Hand had never seen someone modify a weapon before. It was just he never saw someone modify a weapon like Qin Fen did.

Other people modified weapons carefully and cautiously, while Qin Fen modified his weapon as if he was from a moving company. His actions looked careless and haphazard, but he damaged not a single component.

The other few seasoned soldiers, who had been put in a difficult spot by Qin Fen a few days ago, showed expressions that were just as comparable as Iron Hand’s. Each and every one of them forgot about making their own preparations. They all stared at Qin Fen. They wanted to see what sort of modified result the weapon would be produced in the end.

Butcher and Phoenix revealed happy smiles. Gun King, this fellow, hadn’t been selfish at all. He gave Qin Fen training day after day without end, and a bit of a result appeared today at last.

After a series of modifications, Qin Fen arrived before the chest of bullets specific to the Barret M82A1. He carefully selected the type of bullet most suitable for the mission.

The M8 depleted uranium round. This bullet would pierce Sajjad, who possessed an expensive biochemical beast at the materialization fusion stage of level two fusion, and it would pierce Sajjad all the same even if he wore a bullet-proof vest that the police typical wore.

For the sake of leaving Sajjad with an intact head for greater reward money, Qin Fen changed his goal of blasting off his head to leaving his head intact.

If the Scimitar organization were to bring along their 100mm Type PP89 mortar to the fight, they wouldn’t set it up in the crowd. They obviously would set it up in a spot where people were few and it was easy to attack from.

The following information could be obtained from the video: The combat state of the mortar possessed a full weight of only seventy-three kilograms. It was totally possible for a single person to carry out attacks with this weapon. However, they used two people in the video. Clearly, the second person acted as a backup in case some sudden unexpected situation were to occur that might stop their assault.

The Barret M82A1 didn’t have the capability for automatic or burst fire. It was impossible to kill more than one person using a single bullet unless the bullet was an explosive bullet.

Special high-explosive shrapnel bullets were designed specifically to kill enemies in such situations.

Qin Fen selected another bullet, a super kinetic bullet. The speed of this bullet far exceeded normal ammunition. It was used to deal with other snipers.

After Qin Fen chose everything properly, he raised his head and suddenly discovered that the five seasoned soldiers were staring at him with eyes that looked like they were staring at a monster.

Clap, clap, clap.

Xue Tian clapped his hands over and over in applause. “Amazing. Amazing. Though you just used existing parts to modify the gun and are far from reaching the stage where you can create your own firearm, this far exceeds the standard of even a super recruit.”

The five seasoned soldiers had the same thoughts as Xue Tian. They nodded their heads in praise. The more a talented person knew how things were, the more such a person understood the enormous difficulty in modifying a gun like Qin Fen just did. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so stupefied watching him. They were professional warriors, after all. This was the so-called eye of someone experienced.

But Qin Fen didn’t feel an iota of anything to be proud of. Such a performance merely met the minimum standard in Gun King’s eyes.

Xue Tian put a huge military pack on his shoulders at this time. Nobody knew what sort of special things this pack was crammed with.

The seasoned soldiers continued with their unfinished preparations, and Qin Fen took apart his modified firearm into several components. He packed them in a trunk specifically used to store sniper rifles and its materials. He then placed this trunk into an enormous pack.

Weapon preparations were complete, and Qin Fen suddenly thought of something. He picked up a clean notebook from the table and stuffed it along with the pure white t-shirt into the pack of sniper equipment.

Such actions baffled Butcher and Phoenix when they saw them. What was he up to? Was that a super simple pure white t-shirt? Wasn’t that a souvenir he bought here in the State of Korea? It seemed like such an item was easily found practically everywhere in the Federation. One could easily buy it even in a wild region of terrorist activity, right?

The five seasoned soldiers, who were shocked by Qin Fen just now, were motivated by Qin Fen’s actions. They packed up their preparations at speeds faster than their usual speeds, and they quickly finished everything.

In the end, everyone received a large suitcase from Phoenix. The suitcase appeared quite like that of civilians. It was a very basic camouflage.

“Okay! Depart!”

Phoenix wore a gorgeous and red female suit of someone experienced and capable. She held a fine Louis Vuitton purse in her hand, and her enchanting figure and gait greatly hid her iron-blood military air. She looked completely like a fashionable female business executive. The iron-blood military air had turned completely into the air of white-collar pride. Any man who looked at her would feel an intense desire to conquer her rise from the bottom his heart, wishing to tear apart her clothes, conquer her completely, and hear her pant as she yells out ‘master.’

Xue Tian walked shoulder to shoulder with Qin Fen. He had a very gloomy expression. “I got screwed. I should have known to work harder a bit earlier. If I had, I might just have had the qualifications to be one of the Flying Hearts’ personal bodyguards.”

Qin Fen could do nothing but smile wryly. He really didn’t know who Xue Tian’s master was, but if his master were to hear such an argument, perhaps his master’s nose would go crooked from the anger.

“Do you know where we can look up the reward bounty and other information on terrorists?”

Qin Fen whispered to Xue Tian this question he had stifled in his heart for some time.
