novelLeft With Her Older Brother
| ← Ch.340 | Ch.342 → |
Using a rather simple comparison, between shooting a person who stood there stationary versus shooting a person who kept running around, which one would be easier to hit?
Even a dimwit knew the answer.
The crux was, the abilities of some shooters were distinguished by their every movement.
Even if one did well with a stationary target, they could still fail terribly with a moving target.
A hundred-meters target was already the limit for most people, much less a two-hundred-meters moving target.
Even training at an outdoor shooting range was easier than training with a moving target.
This was because it was easier to shoot a person than a target!
If you were asked to shoot a person who was running straight in the eye, it would be a difficult thing to do.
The two-hundred-meters moving target was such a concept. The dot at its center was even smaller than a person's eyes.
The only consoling thing about it? A moving target's speed has its pattern.
However, the pattern would change after each shot.
That is, for every shot, the speed would change once.
The pattern only existed while shooting the current target. For the next shot, the speed would have changed again.
The moving targets in the military schools were getting more and more perverse.
Although Lu Yibin only asked that Gu Qingjiu hit a two-hundred-meters moving target and not that she had to hit it with every single shot she fired...
Gu Qingjiu still couldn't figure out what the trick was.
She merely nodded calmly as Lu Yibin told her the goal to work towards.
The current Gu Qingjiu had just entered the Shooting Department, and she wasn't quite clear yet about how difficult a moving target was.
The moving target was the nightmare of many students.
Nearly no one wished to attempt a two-hundred-meters moving target.
Because even if one practiced many times, it didn't have much relevance during actual combat.
In actual combat, one was only required to just hit the enemy and not necessarily hit a specific spot.
What Gu Qingjiu was unaware of was that the moving target in a military school was entirely different from the moving target in the army.
She merely thought that the moving target was—as its name implied—a target that moved. After one deduced the pattern and took proper aim at the target, practice would make perfect.
What wishful thinking!
"That's all for the fifth level for now. I'll bring you to other places for you to familiarize the Shooting Department."
Now that she had gone through her test and given her goal...
Lu Yibin prepared to bring Gu Qingjiu elsewhere to take a look.
After familiarizing Gu Qingjiu with the training venues in this building, he also told her some basic places.
Levels two to nine were training venues, whereas levels 10 and 11 were designated levels for the higher-ups, and students weren't authorized to enter.
After she had gained an understanding of those places, it was time for dinner.
Gu Qingjiu wanted to go back to the specialization building to eat. Since Lu Yibin knew that she still had to complete her learning tasks assigned by the Chief Management Department, he asked her to go to the Shooting Department for practice outside of lessons from next week onwards.
After all, in a military school, one spent their time either at lessons or training. There was a very minimal time where one remained idle.
Gu Qingjiu naturally obliged.
Once she returned to the hostel, Gu Qian and Chu Lian were already back.
Upon seeing Gu Qingjiu, Gu Qian instantly greeted her."By the way, Qingjiu, Qi Xiaoran left with her older brother and won't be coming back to school for the time being. She asked me to inform you about this."
"Left with her older brother?"
Gu Qingjiu froze.
Qi Xiaoran got injured today and the school doctor told her to rest and not take part in the training. However, Gu Qingjiu hadn't expected that Qi Xiaoran would just leave with her brother like that.
"Just now?"
