NovelEnglishChapter 364: Improving By Luck
Gu Qingjiu understood all of a sudden. “Does that mean that most of my shots just now won’t be counted at all?”
Since she had been monitoring the movement pattern of the target, her shots were fired very slowly.
She had long exceeded the allowed duration of ten seconds.
“That’s right!”
Lu Yibin nodded confidently. “You have to be consistent with the duration you spend firing shots at both stationary and moving targets. You cannot delay shooting at the second moving target for a few seconds just because you are getting used to its movement.”
“The moving targets come with this rule for its additional point system.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“For fifty-meter targets, no points will be awarded if you fire within eight to ten seconds. One point will be given if you fire within five to seven seconds. You will earn two points for firing within three to four seconds. If you fire within two seconds, you get two and a half points. For firing within one second, you earn three points! That’s the highest score. Following the same logic, for twenty -meter targets, the points awarded will be reduced by half a point each for each timing. For a hundred-meter target, the points will increase by one. As for two hundred-meter targets, the points for firing within one second is the highest. It’ll be five points!
“Each target has its own additional point system. However, regardless of whether it is a twenty or two hundred-meter targets, it is rare for someone to score the highest points.
“There are very few shooters who can react within a second unless he’s not aiming to hit the heart of the target. Most people would rather delay a few seconds to hit the target right at the center than to try to respond quickly. The points earned depend on how many targets they hit. This is more important than the points they get from their response timings.”
He had already explained the rules thoroughly. Nodding once again, he said, “Therefore, you have to train yourself to respond quicker. However, this will take a long time. You still have half a year and it’ll be sufficient. I hope that you’ll surprise me and the entire school. During the shooting competition in October, we’ll await your wonderful performance. Don’t put your talent to waste.”
He smiled and said before leaving.
After he had gone away, Gu Qingjiu picked up her gun again.
She never knew that there were so many rules involving the moving targets.
Additional point system?
Gu Qingjiu’s eyes were glinting with eagerness. Since she was already putting herself through this, she ought to do her best.
She must fight for more points through this additional point system.
Lu Yibin was able to shoot freely within two seconds earlier. According to him, this was already the highest points accorded so far. His skills must be top-tier too.
Even with such standards, he still ranked among the bottom scorers across all the schools.
Actually, it wasn’t his personal ranking that was low. It was the school’s overall ranking. That showed that the results of her school’s team weren’t that stellar.
It also meant that the Shooting Department was full of hidden talents.
All the members of the Shooting Department from other schools were all bursting with immense talent.
She grinned as that thought came to mind. This made everything much more exciting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wouldn’t just be training aimlessly here.
She rested a while before continuing with her practice.
As she was trying to speed up her response time, the points Gu Qingjiu scored were lower at the beginning.
However, no matter how poorly she did, she never once missed the target. She still hit every target.
Yet, it was simply too difficult to hit the targets right in the center.
After practicing for the whole afternoon, she merely hit the target in its heart once. Her response time was two seconds. historical
This was already terrific.
Nevertheless, it felt as though it happened simply because of luck.
Again, she felt the same tension she felt during her first practices. The moment she rested, she felt her body aching tremendously.
It was April and the weather was starting to grow warm. After practicing for some time, Gu Qingjiu was perspiring profusely.
She looked at the time and realized that it was almost night time.
The lights in the building were slowly coming on.
