Chapter 88: Elimination Round
“Since neither of you have any objections, then let’s have an elimination round. Yan Jing, make the arrangements.” After Old Master Wei instructed Yan Jing, he walked towards his seat. This time, Su Jinyue had given him another surprise. He wondered if she would continue to surprise him.
“Yes!” Yan Jing replied respectfully. Looking at Su Jinyue and Xu Lin, he thought for a moment before saying “The elimination round is still on shooting, but it will be different from the previous round. This time, it will be a moving target with a shooting range of 50 meters. Do you have any other questions?” A moving target was different from a fixed target. Although they were both shooting, moving targets tested one’s speed and eyesight very much. Regardless of whether their shooting speed was slow or fast, it was possible to miss the target.
“No!” Su Jinyue and Xu Lin replied at the same time.
“Go get ready!” Yan Jing said and walked to his seat. He was also looking forward to this elimination round.
When the members of the Swan Goose squad saw that the group of big shots had returned to their seats, they surrounded Xu Lin.
“Captain, you must do your best! You must make our Swan Goose Squad proud.”
“We believe in you, Captain.”
“That Su Jinyue is just lucky. Don’t be afraid of her. You will definitely win.”
“Next round is a moving target. No matter how lucky Su Jinyue is, it’s impossible for her to hit the target. In the end, our Swan Goose Squad will definitely win.”
Xu Lin’s lips twitched. “I’ll do my best.” She did not have high hopes for the elimination round, but she would do her best.
After the moving targets were set up, Su Jinyue and Xu Lin walked to their shooting position.
Su Jinyue stared at the moving speed of the moving target for a while. She picked up the gun and tried to aim at the target. When she heard Yan Jing’s announcement, she pulled the trigger without hesitation.
When Mo Feiyao walked past the training ground, he saw many people watching the commotion from outside. A trace of astonishment flashed across his eyes. He walked forward and asked one of them, “What is going on inside?”
That person turned his head and saw that it was Mo Feiyao. He hurriedly greeted Mo Feiyao respectfully, “Young Master Mo!” Mo Feiyao was a frequent guest of the Blue Flame Clubhouse. Whenever he had time, he would come here to practice shooting or to ride a horse at the horse ranch.
Mo Feiyao waved his hand dismissively. “Why are all of you gathered here?”
“There’s a challenge going on in the training ground right now. The two contestants are the Swan Goose Squad and a woman. The woman is very strong. She performed very well in all three rounds, especially in the third. Her marksmanship is amazing. She shot the bull’s eye all ten times. The captain of the Swan Goose Squad and that woman are currently having an elimination round. This time, they’re shooting a moving target.” The man’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“Oh?” Mo Feiyao raised his eyebrows with interest. Then, he walked to an empty seat and looked towards the training ground.
Mo Feiyao’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Jinyue shooting with a gun. Why is she here? He had been asking around for news about Su Jinyue these past few days. He didn’t expect to meet her here. Does this mean that he and Su Jinyue are fated?
Su Jinyue put down her gun and glanced at Xu Lin, who had also put down her gun.
Xu Lin frowned as she looked at the target in the distance. She let out a long sigh in her heart. She was not very satisfied with her shooting results this time. It was very likely that she would lose this round. She wondered how Su Jinyue’s results were this time.
She turned to look at Su Jinyue, only to see her calm and composed expression. The corners of Xu Lin’s lips twitched wryly.
“Grandpa! Let’s go take a look,” Wei Yuanxing said impatiently. He really wanted to know what Su Jinyue’s results would be like this round, and whether it would surprise him like the previous rounds.
“Go ahead. I’m a little tired,” Old Master Wei said as he shook his head. He already knew the outcome, so it made no difference whether he looked or not. It was a pity that the girl was Yihan’s fiancée, or he would have forced Yuanxing to go after her.
Two soldiers in charge of recording the results ran over and saluted Yan Jing. “Reporting! Target number one’s score is 100 points, and Target number two’s score is 93 points.”
“Another 100 points! Su Jinyue’s marksmanship is amazing.”
“This is a moving target. Very few people can achieve such results.”
“It would be a pity if such a talent is not recruited into the army!”
“Grandpa! Did you hear that? Su Jinyue scored full marks again this time. You can agree to give her the spot now, right?” Wei Yuanxing asked excitedly. Su Jinyue’s performance this time had truly exceeded his expectations.
“Yes!” Old Master Wei nodded with a smile. When Su Jinyue had fought Xu Lin to a draw in the second round, he had already decided to give her the spot.
Su Jinyue walked to Zhan Yihan’s side and smiled at him. “I won.” Her winning this match meant that she could attend the conference with Yihan.
Zhan Yihan reached out to hold Su Jinyue’s hand and smiled gently at her. “Congratulations!” He knew that she would definitely win.
Su Jinyue rolled her eyes slyly. “Then are there any rewards?”
Zhan Yihan thought for a while and whispered into Su Jinyue’s ear, “I’ll reward you with myself.”
“I don’t want that.” Su Jinyue smiled and lightly hit Zhan Yihan on the chest. This guy is getting from bad to worse. He even dared to flirt with her in public.
Mo Feiyao couldn’t help but frown when he saw Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan standing intimately together. The current Su Jinyue was completely different from the Su Jinyue he saw on the train.
On the train, although Su Jinyue was modest and polite, she kept a distance from everyone, especially towards him. She had always been cold and distant. Now, Su Jinyue was like a young girl brimming with youth, with a bright and pretty smile on her face. What’s the relationship between Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan?
Wei Yuanxing walked towards Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue, who were whispering to each other. He cleared his throat and waited for them to look at him before announcing with a smile, “Su Jinyue, my grandfather has already agreed to give you the spot.”
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded. “Wei Yuanxing, thank you!” Wei Yuanxing knew he would be under a lot of stress if he gave them the spots, but he still did it. She and Yihan would remember this favor forever.
“What’s there to thank me for? Don’t be a stranger. Su Jinyue, is this really your first time shooting?” Even now, he still could not believe that it was Su Jinyue’s first time using a gun.
“It’s absolutely true!” Su Jinyue said with a smile. Of course, this was all thanks to her cheating divine tool, the Little Elf. Otherwise, no matter how good her eyesight was, it was impossible for her to hit the bull’s eye every time.
“You’re awesome!” Wei Yuanxing gave Su Jinyue a thumbs up with a speechless expression. There weren’t many people he admired, but Su Jinyue was one of them.
