Gu Qingjius expression was quite relaxed. She saw that Qi Xiaoran was also taking part in the shooting competition.

Qi Xiaoran managed to hit the bullseye for the twenty-meter stationary target in the first round.

One had three shots to fire, and her score value was 29 out of the perfect score value of 30.

The rule for the stationary target was also for one to fire within ten seconds, but the response time was not included in those ten seconds.

Qi Xiaoran fired at the fifth second.

Gu Qingjiu couldnt quite tell what Qi Xiaorans real level of talent was based on this result, but she could tell that it wasnt too bad.

She was surprised to see Qi Xiaoran qualify for the next round by claiming the third spot.

Among the new students, there were quite a few highly-skilled shooters, but none were quite as strikingly talented as Gu Qingjiu.

Every time this schoolwide competition took place, it was a chance for departments like the Shooting Department to select their members.

When Gu Qingjiu was about to start, Gu Qian and Chu Lian came out of nowhere and rooted for her.

Qingjiu, Qingjiu, all the best for the combat competition tonight! Go for it!

At least make it to the top three and win our dormitory glory!

Neither mentioned Gu Qingjius shooting competition, and they only mentioned the combat competition.

Clearly, they were disregarding the shooting competition.

Unsure whether to laugh or to cry, Gu Qingjiu nodded and said, Got it, Ill do my best.

Just then, it was announced that the competition for their team was about to start.

Gu Qingjiu immediately said, Im going over.

Alright, alright.

Gu Qian waved casually at Gu Qingjiu. Hurry.

Her manner was as though Gu Qingjiu was taking part in an extremely easy competition.

Gu Qingjiu walked over, and her presence immediately attracted a lot of gazes, mostly were students viewing the competition and higher-ups who were watching the big screen.

Everyone knew that Gu Qingjiu was the sharpshooter that emerged this year, and everyone delighted in talking about her perverse results in that outdoor shooting activity, even until then.

Everyone fixed their gazes intently upon her.

Although this was the twenty-meter preliminary round, it was also very important.

One was to fire three shots in the first round, and they were each given thirty seconds.

If the score values were similar, the determining factor would be the time taken.

The shorter amount of time one took, the higher the chances of one emerging victorious among those with the same score.

Gu Qingjiu went to stand at the stationary target she was assigned tothe fifth one.

It happened to be the one in the middle.

Now it was time for them to check their guns. Something worthy of mention was that when one was inspecting their guns, they couldnt go into the shooting posture to prepare just because they had finished inspecting their guns before the rest.

They could only move into that position after the instructor had blown the whistle and counted down.

This was why one was given ten seconds.

Only in equivalent circumstances could everyones level of skill be judged more fairly.

Of course, the shooting standards of the top thirty in a specialization couldnt be that bad.

Only

The two most important factors in target shooting were luck and mentality.

If one didnt have a good mentality, it would affect their feelings, and as a result, their sensitivity towards shooting would be lowered.

It would adversely affect ones results.

These members in the same round as Gu Qingjiu more or less werent in a good psychological state.

After all, they were only freshmen who had just entered school two to three months ago, so one couldnt expect them to be as calm as the more experienced students.

Unless one was born with a calm mentality.

With Gu Qingjiu occupying one spot, at least there were still two spots left!
