Chapter 678: An Easy Win
Lively voices were heard at the National Defense University (NDU). Even if there were only members from the Shooting Department, many people were coming and going to the venue.
Lu Yimei led the Shooting Department members to attend the competition.
Standing in the venue, she told Gu Qingjiu some things to note.
“Qingjiu, during the competition, just focus on performing your best and take down the number one spot in the country.”
Nationwide shooting competitions as such didn’t distinguish between levels.
Hence, even if Gu Qingjiu was only a first-year student this year, she could still compete with a third-year student, for instance.
The first segment was the fifty-meter moving target.
When Gu Qingjiu and her fellow contestants heard the blow of a whistle, her gaze turned serious, and she instantly raised her arm and decisively fired a shot.
Bang!
She hit the bullseye.
This competition was only a preliminary one, thus of a smaller scale.
Despite that, the audience let out gasps of surprise.
With Gu Qingjiu’s incredible speed, she naturally obtained full marks.
Another contestant was slightly slower and was placed second.
Gu Qingjiu won first place in her first match.
It was an easy win.
By now, Lu Yimei and the rest had respectively gone elsewhere for their competitions.
This was their last year taking part in this competition, after which they would be graduating.
From then on, it would be the newbies’ world.
Hence, they had to put up an excellent performance and mustn’t disgrace their military school at the last moments.
For the first preliminary round, Gu Qingjiu easily clinched a win. The second competition would be the hundred-meter moving target.
Gu Qingjiu also won first place.
With no pressure.
The decisive and calm manner when she fired the shots quickly attracted the attention of the audience.
She was too steady and too calm.
Even when she won the competition, she revealed little an expression.
No wonder it was said that she had knocked out several schools in an outdoor shooting activity previously.
By the time the day’s competitions ended, Gu Qingjiu successfully entered the finals.
National Military University of China’s (NMUC) Shooting Department put up not too bad a performance this time, with ten-odd members successfully entering the finals.
Although there would be a grand final, they already considered such results not bad.
Last year there were only a few people from NMUC who entered the finals.
After that day’s competitions ended, Lu Yimei suggested going for a celebration.
As NMUC was far from NDU, they would stay at NDU for the night.
At night, the few of them went outside for supper.
Gu Qingjiu had initially planned on secretly looking for Helian Niancheng. But to be going over would violate the military rules, especially since she was in school.
She hesitatingly gave up on that idea after some thought.
After celebrating over supper, Gu Qingjiu returned to NDU’s dormitory.
She merely chatted with Helian Niancheng over the phone that night.
On the next day, the competition continued.
Honestly, Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel any pressure taking part in such competitions.
She had already handled seven targets at the same time at the training center. Such moving targets, be it a hundred-meter or two hundred-meter, were of no issue to her.
Especially after getting used to the circular target, such ordinary moving targets were a piece of cake for Gu Qingjiu.
The third round was the hundred-meter moving target.
With the fastest speed, at that very instant the whistle blew, she fired a shot instantaneously.
Even though the target’s speed would change at unpredictable intervals, Gu Qingjiu always seemed able to predict it.
Bang!
She hit the bullseye!
Full marks!
