Chapter 653: Prize-Giving Ceremony

Although Yin Ruoyi wasn’t in too great a mood, his result impressed everyone else.

Most importantly, Cruff’s imposing presence made others feel immensely pressured.

It was good enough that they achieved an improvement. Hence, the chairman naturally wouldn’t put more pressure upon Yin Ruoyi.

Previously, China placed third.

This was an improvement from that.

While Chairman Song and a few others congratulated Yin Ruoyi, Gu Qingjiu watched by the side for a while. But suddenly, Yin Ruoyi appeared in front of her.

“Did you watch the competition?”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yeah, you did pretty well.”

Yin Ruoyi let out a bitter chuckle. “I’m sure you know what I’m thinking. I initially thought I could create a miracle.”

“Why not?”

Gu Qingjiu suddenly revealed a brilliant smile. “You will have your revenge next time.”

Yin Ruoyi paused. “I thought you would advise me to take it easy as the others and say something like my performance was not bad already.”

“That’s because I have the same thoughts as you do.” Gu Qingjiu raised a brow. “Of course, winning or losing isn’t much of our concern. But since we’re in this competition, we’re doing it to win. We will only let ourselves down if we have no goal. Although Cruff is indeed strong, he is only human. Having taken part so many times, he certainly beats you in terms of experience. The crux lies in the competition three years from now—his last one before he retires from this.”

Gu Qingjiu’s words made Yin Ruoyi fall into deep thought. “Cruff is indeed a formidable opponent, but he’s not unbeatable. The key thing is that the competition venue is too big, which means there aren’t many opportunities to stop him from obtaining points.”

Of course, Yin Ruoyi knew his own capabilities very well. After this competition, he had gained a fine analysis of Cruff’s capabilities.

If this were an individual battle, he wouldn’t necessarily lose to Cruff.

But the other party’s ability to conceal himself was indeed incredible. He didn’t even discover Cruff before he fired the shot.

At this thought, Yin Ruoyi frowned slightly. “Having watched this competition, did you discover any notable points regarding Cruff?”

“Based on my current capabilities, elimination is something I can’t ensure, but it’s not too likely for me to get points. As I have little practical experience, I’m not as steady as those players. So I can’t be sure if my observations will be accurate. I focused on this one thing: Cruff is very skilled at hiding himself, and I cannot discover him. What bothers me is the shot that got him his first three points in the competition.”

“Which shot?”

Yin Ruoyi had yet to watch the complete video since he just came from the competition.

“You’ll know when you watch the video tonight.”

As the duo chatted, Chairman Song walked over with a smile, “Why? Are you two discussing the competition?”

Gu Qingjiu and Yin Ruoyi both nodded and said, “Yes.”

“You can discuss it when you get back. The prize-giving ceremony is about to begin. Ruoyi, you need to go over now.”

Yin Ruoyi nodded and went there as Chairman Song had instructed.

Chairman Song turned towards Gu Qingjiu with that smile still on his face. “Do you want to go over and look?”

Gu Qingjiu thought for a moment. Although she felt that such an occasion would be quite dull, it would be good to expand her horizons.

Hence, she nodded and replied, “Sure, Chairman Song. Shall we go over together?”

“Alright, let’s go.”
