Gu Qingjiu looked over and saw that it was the newly arrived Instructor Mu who was clapping and cheering for her.

Good. Not bad at all!

Mu Nanji clapped as he came over, a broad smile on his face. Tell me again, whats your name?

Gu Qingjiu straightened her body and said with a serious expression, Instructor, my name is Gu Qingjiu.

Just transferred over from the new recruits training camp yesterday, right? Great! Great! Youre a talent!

Different from his attitude earlier on, Mu Nanji now wore a kind and pleasant expression.

Gu Qingjiu didnt get prideful at the compliment and merely listened as Mu Nanji spoke.

Seeing her neither arrogant nor impetuous attitude, Mu Nanji felt even more satisfied with her.

This was a talent! He never expected to discover such a treasure in such a remote military zone.

However, this was just the beginning. Whether or not Gu Qingjiu had a natural talent, Mu Nanji felt the need to observe over a longer period.

Hence, after complimenting Gu Qingjiu he said nothing else, and simply let the rest continue training.

After striking the bullseye of a twenty-meter target, Gu Qingjiu felt extremely exhausted after achieving her goal.

She then let someone else take her spot and stood aside to watch for a while.

A warm and numb sensation remained in her palm after handling a gun. Its vibration as it projected a bullet off still had her palm shaking. Standing by the side, she felt incredulous at what just happened.

Recovering from that trance, she felt that aiming for that target was ethereal.

She might barely hit the target if she randomly fired a shot now.

If she wanted to maintain the ability to consistently strike the bullseye, she had to put in some hard work to it even if she was indeed talented.

After Tang Yuyu struck the seventh ring, it allowed her to obtain a pass and let the next person take her spot. She was done for her training for the time being.

She rushed to Gu Qingjiu with excitement. Youre incredible, too incredible! Youre that kind of genius I was talking about!

Previously, she had mentioned to Gu Qingjiu that sharpshooters were rare to come by. From the looks of it now, Gu Qingjiu was that genius she was talking about!

She had been training for so long but didnt once manage to hit the bullseye.

Seeing her heap praises on her, Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips and smiled. I just got lucky.

This isnt luck, Tang Yuyu disagreed. Those three shots you fired, each shot got nearer and nearer to the target. That goes to show youre improving. Nobody else could accomplish that. Sometimes I may hit a target the first shot but not necessarily hit it the next shot. The main reason is after the gun vibrates, it will slightly shift. It becomes more difficult to find that feeling. Youre awesome!

Gu Qingjiu could only listen as she received compliments.

It suddenly occurred to herwould the Chief Instructor come to hear of her performance at the shooting range?

Would he compliment her, or would he dampen her enthusiasm?

Amidst such thoughts, she distractedly chatted on and off with Tang Yuyu.

The morning passed just like that.

Only

At noon, eating in the canteen.

She was pretty lucky to meet the good-tempered Tang Yuyu, who took the initiative to go to the canteen to eat.

Before they reached the canteen, Gu Qingjiu could clearly feel

That many soldiers were staring at her in astonishment.

There were even some not far away who said, Thats the sharpshooter who just transferred to the advanced training camp today? Damn. Its the first time I see someone hit the bullseye of a twenty- meter target on their first day of training. Shes super impressive!

Gu Qingjiu was surrounded by praises and admiration all of a sudden.

If someone accomplished an extreme feat, it seemed that all the malicious speculations would vanish in an instant.
