Chapter 472: It’s a Present for You, Keep it Properly

The rules for getting into the next round were pretty similar for combat and shooting, but the number of people who could get to the next round wasn’t as certain.

After all, each specialization would be up against other specializations. But for the computer science specialization to have so many eliminated participants at one go, it was truly surprising.

Feng Yumeng scratched her head. “Perhaps that’s because we’re used to following instructions. That can’t be helped.”

Of course, their solid capabilities weren’t as strong as the other specializations.

“It’s alright.” Gu Qian patted Feng Yumeng on her shoulder. “At least there’s Qingjiu who will bring glory to you guys in target shooting. That’s not bad already.”

Her words caused those present to burst into laughter.

“Alright, let’s go out and eat first. Feng Yumeng, have you eaten?”

“I’ve long eaten. If you guys wish to eat, just go ahead. I’ll stay around and watch the competition to gain some experience.”

Feng Yumeng touched her nose and ran away.

Gu Qingjiu was quite surprised to see this lass show such self-awareness.

Indeed, having experienced the joy of victory, she started to develop some self-awareness.

Chu Lian clicked her tongue. “This Feng Yumeng ranks the bottom in the computer science specialization, right? I’ve heard of her name. But from the looks of it now, Qingjiu, you’re indeed capable. You can even rescue someone ranked at the bottom.”

“I wasn’t the one who rescued her.” It wasn’t that Gu Qingjiu was being overly modest. “She has decent capabilities, to begin with, and her physical stamina isn’t too bad. It’s just that she fears pain—so much that when others hit her she won’t dare to retaliate. Now that she knows what to do, her performance naturally got better.”

“Aiyoh, regardless, you’re truly lucky!”

The few of them chatted merrily as they went to the school canteen.

The results for the first day of the competition were out.

For the physical training competition, three people from the computer science specialization got into the next round; two for shooting and two for combat!

Surprisingly, their computer science department did slightly better in the physical training competition.

According to logic, computer science folks should pale in comparison to other specializations in physical training.

But as a whole, this was quite a bad result.

Especially considering Gu Qingjiu took up a spot in combat and shooting.

Her peers in the computer science specialization were getting more and more impressed by her.

Tomorrow, it would be the second round of shooting and combat, so Gu Qingjiu had to be prepared for that. After dinner, she returned to the dormitory with Gu Qian and Chu Lian.

After taking a shower, Gu Qingjiu fiddled with that lighter.

She placed the lighter beside her pillow and hid it at the corner.

After some thought, she ultimately couldn’t hold herself back from sending a text message to the Chief Instructor.

[ Chief Instructor, why did you give me that lighter? =.= ]

She just couldn’t figure out why.

After waiting for a good while, the Chief Instructor still hadn’t replied to her.

Just then, the door opened. Qi Xiaoran had returned too.

She said nothing and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.

Since they were roommates, Gu Qian spoke up. After all, they were still roommates. “Qi Xiaoran, congrats on getting into the next round in combat.”

To everyone’s surprise, Qi Xiaoran cast a strange glance at Gu Qian, then nodded and softly said, “Thanks.”

She then went to the upper bunk above Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qian was quite worked up to get a response from Qi Xiaoran. She looked towards Chu Lian, who then rolled her eyes which nearly sparked a fight in the dormitory.

Gu Qingjiu watched as they clowned around, a hint of a smile at the corner of her lips. Just then, her phone suddenly vibrated from under the blanket.

Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly.

She felt for her phone under the blanket, and saw this reply:

[ It’s a present for you, keep it properly. ]
