Chapter 60 - TCG-Training

Within the state-of-the-art training facility for archers and gunners, a wide array of targets stretched out across the expansive room. These targets were meticulously designed to cater to every aspect of Alex's marksmanship training, offering a diverse range of challenges.

Short-Range Bullseye (50 meters) A standard bullseye target, positioned relatively close for precision shooting practice. It consisted of concentric circles, with the smallest circle at the center offering the highest score.

Moving Target Track (100 meters)

A mechanized track carried targets horizontally across the room, simulating moving targets. This was ideal for improving tracking and aiming skills against agile foes.

Pop-Up Targets (150 meters)

These automated targets popped up and down at varying intervals, challenging Alex's reflexes and accuracy. Hitting them at the right moment required quick reactions.

Long-Range Precision (300 meters)

At this distance, precision shooting was paramount. The targets were equipped with sensors to detect hits, and the slightest deviation from the bullseye was recorded.

Simulated Hostile Targets (500 meters)

Life-sized holographic representations of adversaries appeared at long range. This allowed Alex to practice shooting under the pressure of a real combat situation, emphasizing accuracy and timing.

Each target was equipped with advanced technology to provide instant feedback on hits and misses, allowing Alex to analyze his performance with precision. The versatility of the training room meant he could tailor his practice to specific scenarios and constantly refine his archery and gunnery skills.

In this remarkable training zone, Lumi began to explain its incredible features.

"First and foremost, the most notable aspect was the time dilation effect. Time here operated on a scale of 1:10, which meant that for every single day spent within the facility, the outside world experienced the passage of ten days. This extraordinary time manipulation allowed for accelerated training and skill development."

"Furthermore, the training facility's accessibility was another extraordinary feature. It could manifest at any time within a safe zone"

This function providing users like Alex with a versatile and convenient environment. Whether it was for intensive training, rest, or any other purpose, this adaptable facility catered to the needs of its users, offering them the flexibility and convenience required to excel in the game.

so every gun will be level up?

"Yes master, everytime you get a target, you proficiency will be added and thus will increase the level of gun you use, and the max level for this SSS skill is 99"

'bush', alex asked

'In my time the max level is 20'

"Looks like we're in for quite a challenge," Alex commented with a hint of excitement.

Bush chuckled, a touch of anticipation in his voice. "Seems like it, but we'll adapt, just like we always do."

Alex nodded. "Adapt and survive, that's the name of the game."

then....

Alex readied his crossbow, focusing his energy on the next shot. As he aimed at a distant target, the crossbow emitted a faint glow, indicating the activation of the "Power Shot" ability. With a deep breath, he released the bolt,

As Alex raised the crossbow, it hummed with an unusual energy, the faint aura of his SSS-grade skill visible as a shimmering glow around the weapon. He aimed at a distant target, a bullseye placed at 200 meters, much farther than he could typically shoot accurately. With a deep breath, he squeezed the trigger, and the bolt surged forward.

The moment the bolt left the crossbow, time seemed to slow. The bolt soared through the air with unparalleled precision, following a perfect trajectory towards the target. It struck the bullseye dead center, shattering it into splinters with a satisfying thud.

Even though his SSS skill was only at level 1, its extraordinary power was evident. The crossbow's accuracy and range had already been significantly enhanced. Alex couldn't help but smile; with dedication and training, this SSS-grade skill had the potential to make him an unparalleled marksman.

"that sure is cheating, bush teased

Alex chuckled at Bush's comment. "Cheating or not, I'm going to make the most of it. And you're right; this level 1 crossbow feels like a game-changer. I've trained with all sorts of weapons, but nothing like this. I can't wait to see how it evolves as I gain proficiency."

Bush nodded in agreement. "It's a whole new level of power, Alex. Just imagine what you'll be capable of when you reach higher levels with this skill. But don't get too comfortable; we've got a lot to learn and even more to uncover about this game, the clown, and what's really going on."

Alex's smile faded, replaced by a determined expression. "You're right, Bush. We can't afford to be complacent. Let's make the most of this training facility and get ourselves prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead. We'll figure out the mysteries of this world, one step at a time."

Alex wasted no time and began his training with the level 1 crossbow. The training facility provided an array of targets at various distances, from 50 meters to 500 meters, each marked with a point value. With the time dilation factor of 1:10, he had half a day to make the most of this opportunity.

He focused on his breathing, calibrating his aim and taking carefully timed shots. The SSS-grade skill amplified his precision and power even at level 1, and he felt the difference with each shot. The bolts flew true and hit their marks with astonishing accuracy.

As he continued, he could see the proficiency level of the crossbow increasing with each successful shot. The satisfaction of watching his progress motivated him to push further. Time flew by as he honed his skills, adapting to the nuances of the weapon.
