Chapter 180
The next morning, while Eileen was doing her morning workout, she saw that Egbert was still around.
She thought to herself, Egbert is a guest on the show, there’s no way he would just pack and leave like
that.
But when noon rolled around, Eileen realized that Egbert was nowhere to be found.
In the afternoon, Egbert was still missing.
By nightfall, Eileen couldn’t hold it in any longer and went to ask Aaron about the situation.
Aaron was busy with her appraisal, and upon hearing Eileen’s question, she replied, “We’re not entirely
sure either, all I know is Mr. Reed left in a hurry, seemed to be something urgent.”
Eileen instantly furrowed her brows.
Aaron shot Eileen a glance, noticing there were no cameramen around, she whispered, “So, you’re
missing him already, huh?”
Eileen was taken aback, quickly shaking her head, “No, that’s not…”
Aaron smiled, reassuring her, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. If you’re worried about him, you can give
him a call. Since your phone has been confiscated, you can use mine, okay?”
As she said this, Aaron actually took out her own phone from the and handed it to
Eileen didn’t take it and stepped back, nervously saying, “No need, I should get going!” la
With that, she turned around and bolted.
The news of Egbert suddenly leaving the show was only known to Eileen on the first day.
But by the second and third day, the other guests finally noticed that their head instructor was missing.
On the day of the shooting competition.
In the morning, Eileen, Colin, and Eddie were squatting outside the shooting range on the stairs.
All three of them were dressed in uniform, each with a piece of grass in their mouths, looking like a
bunch of hooligans.
Eddie was the first to ask, “Did he really leave? Is it because the show ran out of money and can’t
afford him anymore?? How could he just leave halfway through the show?”
Colin muttered, “Could it be because of the brawl we had last time? As the head instructor, he’d have to
take responsibility.”
Eddie commented, “The instructor thing is just for show, he’s a big star, you can’t lump it all together.”
Colin responded, “Then what else could it be? Eileen, what do you think?”
Eileen, who was squatting in the middle of the three, spat out the piece of grass from her mouth, stood
up, hands in her pockets, shook her head, “He’s probably b. ken.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEddie and Colin stood up, puzzled, “What?”
Eileen, with a sad face, said, “You guys wouldn’t understand, I hurt him.”
The two of them were totally clueless!
Eddie asked, “How did you hurt him? Did you hit him?”
Eileen didn’t answer, just shook her head.
Then she sighed, wallowing in self-pity, “I think you guys should just stay away from me in the future.
What everyone needs is a funny, average-looking good friend, not a standout handsome hottie like me.
If you keep hanging out with me, I’m afraid you will all fall for me.’
Eddie was speechless, so was Colin.
Eddie seriously said, “No way.”
Colin even more seriously said, “Absolutely not!”
Eileen gave them a melancholy look, shaking her head, “You guys are confident now, but you might not
be in the future. Look at my hand.”
Eileen extended her right hand to show them.
The two of them leaned in to take a look, but didn’t notice anything special.
Eileen gently stroked her right hand with her left, then dramatically said, “Ouch, it hurts. I’m just like a
rose with thorns.”
Eddie and Colin were both silent.
After exchanging glances, they turned around and walked away, leaving Eileen standing there alone,
gazing at the sky, still lost in her melancholic mood.
In the afternoon, Eileen’s competition began.
As soon as Eileen walked in, she saw that on the judges’ panel, the seat of the platoon leader had
been taken by a stranger.
Eileen guessed that he must be the real platoon leader.
Egbert was just a temporary arrangement by the show, not the real platoon leader.
The real platoon leader was probably this guy!
The shooting competition was simple, whoever hit more targets and scored more points would win.
There were ten moving targets in front.
Eileen skillfully assembled the gun. Before firing, her gaze lingered on the platoon leader for a moment,
then she quickly loaded the gun and started shooting at the bullseye.
After ten shots, the whole place fell silent when Eileen was done.
The auditors went to verify the results and were taken aback when they came back, “All hits, all ten
points.”
The three platoon leaders looked at each other, all quite surprised.
While it was not unheard of for soldiers to hit all tens, they were usually experienced veterans.
Eileen was the only new recruit who hit all tens, and she wasn’t even a real soldier, she was just here
to experience the life of a soldier.
After jotting down the data, the platoon leader contemplated for a moment, then asked Eileen, “Before
you started shooting, did you glare at me?”
Eileen couldn’t outright say, “Yeah, I glared at you, I don’t like you, so what?”
She denied, “I didn’t.”
The platoon leader gave her another suspicious look, then waved his hand, “Okay, you can leave now.”
Once Eileen had left, the three platoon leaders began to discuss, “she’s a good soldier.”
“Yeah, shes got a good aim, steady hand, quick, she could potentially become an excellent sniper.”
She indeed has potential.”
“It’s just a pity…”
“Yeah, she’s not our soldier, forget it…”
The competition lasted until the evening when Eileen had another round of match.
During the initial competition, there were seventeen other soldiers who, like Eileen, hit all tens.
So the organizers arranged for a re-match.
The re-match was more challenging.
The moving targets increased from ten to thirty.
And the shooting time had to be completed within thirty seconds.
In other words, the contestants had to shoot one target per second while the targets were moving and
also ensure they hit the targets.
Eileen was the third to last to compete.
Among the dozen soldiers before her, the highest score was a total of 241 points.
With thirty targets, the total points were 300. To accumulate 241 points within thirty seconds was
already a very high level.
Eileen calmly walked over, picked up the gun, and checked it.
After a while, the referee shouted, “Start!”
Thirty seconds later.
The three platoon leaders were stunned at the score sheet that was handed to them!
Total points: 299.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThirty moving targets, she hit twenty-nine 10 rings and one 9 rings.
“Wow!” the regimental sergeant major couldn’t help but exclaim, “What an ace shooter!”
But Eileen herself wasn’t too pleased.
Looking at the target that just missed the 10th ring, she sighed inwardly!
She hadn’t had the chance to practice shooting lately and was getting rusty! Back when NightKing was
training her, if she didn’t hit all bull’s eyes on fifty moving targets within fifty seconds, he wouldn’t let her
eat.
In the end, Eileen still came out on top!
She also received generous rewards from the competition, a certificate, a hardcover notebook, and a
pen.
In front of the camera, while posing for a commemorative photo, Eileen looked discontentedly at the
regimental sergeant major next to her.
She wished Egbert was here….
The day after the shooting competition, the production team announced that they were moving to a
new camp.
Everyone was excited, asking about the new location.
The production team didn’t reveal.
Then, a week later!
All eight of them were gathered on a military transport plane.
The hatch of the transport plane was opened, and the fierce wind blew into the cabin incessantly.
Edna, Patti, and Jaqueline huddled together, crying in a corner, gasping for breath.
Eddie and Colin were supporting each other, not daring to move their butts from their seats!
Of the other two male guests, one of them was holding a plastic bag, vomiting out his dinner from last
night.
On the plane, the soldiers were still laughing and saying loudly, “Welcome to the 8th Air Force
Battalion!”
Then, a corporal pointed at the blue sky outside and said, “You’ve all had training, come on, Jump one
by one.
Parachuting now?
The seven celebrity guests were all in a state of collapse!
At this moment, Eileen was standing on the other side, putting on her parachute and raising her hand,
shouting, “I have a question!”
The corporal looked at her, admiring this little girl who had just won the shooting competition in the
Land Force Battalion, and asked, “What’s your question?” Eileen pointed outside and asked, “Is Mr,
Reed down there?”
