After she was introduced to Gu Qingjiu, Lu Yixin filled in the history of the Shooting Department to Gu Qingjiu on Lu Yibin’s behalf for the rest of the journey. She also took the chance to ask some questions to satisfy her own curiosity.
“My older brother said you transferred here from the local troops and that you have exceptional talent in shooting. Did you really hit a twenty-meter stationary target bullseye at your first shot?”
This astonished Lu Yixin.
Gu Qingjiu nodded in a reserved manner. “Can’t consider it the first time. More accurately speaking, I had hit the bullseye after practicing for a while the first time.”
She had familiarized herself by firing several shots prior to hitting the bullseye.
“That’s hitting the bullseye the first time! Incredible!” Lu Yixin couldn’t help but praise.
Due to the fact that the details of the members were only accessible by higher-ups like the Vice-Commander, Lu Yixin only learned of certain matters from her older brother.
“The first time I practiced it was with a ten-meter target. It took me quite a few days to hit the bullseye. But I have been training since I was young. I come from a family of soldiers. My father used to be in the Shooting Department, so us three siblings had inherited his talent in shooting.”
Lu Yixin revealed her own background with no reservations.
“Hence, we enrolled in a military school and entered the same department.”
“You guys are incredible. Many people yearn to enter these places but don’t have the ability to.”
Gu Qingjiu was complimenting from the bottom of her heart. Regardless, for all three siblings to enter a special department, it was something to be proud of.
“After all, we came in touch with training ever since we were young. We can’t compare with geniuses like you! You’re so gifted that I suspect you can compete with that perversely talented guy from National Defense University.”
Lu Yixin’s eyes were sparkling. Upon hearing the word ‘perversely’, Gu Qingjiu instantly recalled the sharpshooter from the National Defense University whom Lu Yibin had mentioned to her.
“Perversely?” Her brows furrowed slightly as she revealed an amused expression. “I seemed to have heard your older brother mention him before.”
“That’s the sharpshooter Yin Ruoyi!”
At the mention of him, Lu Yixin gave off a helpless and powerless vibe. “He comes from an influential military family background. His grandpa is the governor of the Suhe Province. All three generations of his family served in the military.
“He’s the first sharpshooter in his family. He’s the first person to achieve and consistently maintain a perfect individual score in the shooting competition among all the military schools. Perfect score. Do you know what that represents? He has the highest score in all the individual segments. There’s no way anyone can surpass him! Even in the group category, just him alone can put his team way ahead of the competition. They’re guaranteed a win in the group category with him in it.”
Lu Yixin’s high praises of him made Gu Qingjiu feel that this person was unimaginably formidable. She, too, let out a sigh. “He’s indeed incredible.”
“Incredible isn’t quite enough to describe him. Just like in school you have academic losers and straight-A students. This kind of person is like the legendary god of students.”
Gu Qingjiu looked towards Lu Yixin. “You mean we’re going to bump into him at this event?”
“Oh no no no.” Lu Yixin wagged a finger. “He’s not interested in an event of this level. He spends most of his time overseas these days and has already started taking part in international competitions. This October will be the last time he takes part in a local competition, and that’s because he competes in the international battlefield now.”
