Chapter 363: Cannot Exceed Ten Seconds
“Vice-Commander, do you have any comments?”
Gu Qingjiu put down the gun and asked Lu Yibin solemnly.
He was the vice-commander of the shooting department and surely had a lot of relevant experience.
Gu Qingjiu wasn’t full of herself. She naturally wanted to seek advice from the Vice-Commander.
“Haha, you’re actually already doing a great job practicing now. A lot of people aren’t able to achieve what you have. You’ve already done a good job hitting seven points.”
Smiling, Lu Yibin’s eyes narrowed as he praised her. “But I know that you surely aren’t satisfied. You think that you can do better, but you’re facing some issues, right?”
He had fully analyzed Gu Qingjiu’s problems. She nodded and began elaborating. “I think that the speed of the moving target is a little too fast for newbies like me.”
It didn’t have a regular moving pattern and its speed was random.
It was a complete nightmare for a newbie.
The training in the military school was usually all planned out with proper order.
The changes in the moving targets were too fluid.
“It’s not just difficult. You’re also not the only one who feels that this is illogical.”
Lu Yibin raised his brows and continued, “But this is a tradition here at the shooting department.”
He walked over and explained slowly, “In a normal shooting practice, the pace is naturally slow and steady. However, you must remember that the shooting department was set up just for extremely talented students like you.
“The practices surely cannot be designed for normal students.
“The targets are moving around randomly so as to increase its difficulty.”
As he spoke, he stood in front of Gu Qingjiu and picked up the gun that she was using.
He looked at the target as it moved and fired casually.
“Bang! Target Five, ten points!”
Afterward, the target changed its speed. Although it sped up significantly, Lu Yibin merely looked at it for two seconds before he fired.
“Bang! Target Five, ten points!”
Gu Qingjiu felt rather shocked.
“What is challenging isn’t the targets, but the shooter. As long as you practice hard, you can even be better than me.”
Lu Yibin put down the gun and advised seriously, “You’re a smart student and a skilled one. You know what to do.”
Deep down, she felt a surge of emotions, as though she was extremely happy to welcome a new challenge.
Gu Qingjiu finally felt how wonderful shooting could be.
It was all because of its unpredictability and randomness.
It was only after hitting the targets that she could feel immense joy.
“I understand now, Vice-Commander. I will work hard.”
She nodded and began growing interest.
Lu Yibin smiled and nodded too. Patting Gu Qingjiu’s shoulder, he said, “That’s great. Practice hard then, but there’s something that you have to pay attention to.”
“Hmm, what is it?”
“The rules of a moving target competition is completely different from that of a stationary target one. The points system is vastly different.”
Lu Yibin turned solemn. “For competitions involving stationary targets, the points you hit are the points you get. Whereas for moving target competitions, there’s an additional component. Your points will also depend on the number of seconds you fire after the speed of the moving targets changes.
“After ten seconds, the points of that round will be discarded. In other words, each shot cannot be fired more than 10 seconds apart.”
