Chapter 338: Pressure
“Outdoor shooting range?”
When Gu Qingjiu heard this, it wasn’t that she didn’t know what it meant. But she would like to hear more about the scale of the outdoor shooting range.
“Outdoor shooting range...”
Lu Yibin wanted to explain to Gu Qingjiu, but they had just reached the fifth story.
When the elevator door opened, Lu Yibin stepped out first. “There’s no rush to learn about the shooting ranges. In the future, you’ll come to know more about them.”
Gu Qingjiu followed him out of the elevator.
What entered her sight was a shooting range that was way larger than the one at the specialization building.
But the design and layout of every shooting range were the same, it was only the size that was different.
The hundred-meter stationary target shooting range that Gu Qingjiu just stepped into only had two to three people training at that moment.
When Gu Qingjiu entered, she saw that those people basically hit the eighth ring or better for every shot they fired out.
Although they were not as impressive as her, they were definitely outstanding on their own.
But even then, with these results, they only managed to rank fifth from the bottom when competing with the other military schools.
One could just imagine how impressive the contestants of the other military schools were.
She was merely looking around, but when Lu Yibin saw her countenance, he said with a smile, “A hundred-meter target is a place for warming up, but most members who are familiar with the Shooting Department wouldn’t use this as their main training ground. Instructor Xiong said that you managed to hit the bullseye of a hundred-meters stationary target within four days. Most importantly, you’ve only transferred from the troops and started practicing shooting for more than a month?”
What he said was accurate. Gu Qingjiu turned around and nodded at him. “Yes, Vice-Commander.”
“I’ve never seen someone with your level of talent before. I think you can compete with that legendary sharpshooter from the top military school.”
Sharpshooter?
This was the first time Gu Qingjiu heard of the existence of a sharpshooter.
When she first displayed her talent in the troops back then, someone had called her a sharpshooter as well.
But Gu Qingjiu was clearly aware that she was just a beginner, and if she wished to live up to that name, she had to show some true capabilities.
“Yes, a sharpshooter at the National Defense University. But he underwent systematic training. With him around, the National Defense University took the first place in the shooting competition for three consecutive years.”
Speaking of this, Lu Yibin even let out a bitter chuckle. “Our usual training results are not bad. But once we encounter him, every target on the free target shooting range is like his live target. We’ll never be able to defeat him. He basically regards us as stationary targets. Regardless of how we dodge, we weren’t able to dodge his bullets.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help but feel curious about such a character. However, she didn’t manage to hold herself back from smiling. “He’ll be graduating after his fourth year. One more year and he won’t be able to take part in the competition anymore. You guys can hold on a little longer.”
“I can only say that the National Defense University is an existence that cannot be surpassed. But for our military university to be ranked fifth from the bottom, the National Defense University is not our only competitor!”
Lu Yibin’s words sounded a little heavy.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She had to admit that she nearly chuckled out loud just now.
“But you’re different. I’ve never heard Instructor Xiong praise someone like that. He has great expectations for you. We’re not counting on you to defeat that number one guy, but we hope to at least improve our ranking to top five instead of bottom five!”
Lu Yibin’s words made Gu Qingjiu feel immense pressure.
Seems like Instructor Xiong and the rest really regarded her as their savior.
But Gu Qingjiu wasn’t so arrogant to think that she was their savior. She felt confident about a stationary target, but it was hard to say what the situation would be like at an actual competition venue.
She felt it was unwise for them to pin all their hopes on her.
