Chapter 500: Pinning All Hopes on Yin Ruoyi
“Old Chen, what’s the matter with you? Why do you keep poking at one’s wounds? Ask NMUC [1. National Military University of China] to not send her if they dare!”
Hearing this, Chen Yan laughed mercilessly. Though, he did stop talking.
Jiao Yujin appeared in deep thought. “Are you people talking about her?”
He pointed towards Gu Qingjiu slightly with a finger.
Even though it was only a subtle gesture that wasn’t obvious, Gu Qingjiu, who was back-facing them, still turned around with a confused look and fixed her gaze upon Jiao Yujin.
Momentarily, Jiao Yujin felt something inexplicable, and he hurriedly retracted his finger with an incredulous look in his eyes.
“Amazing response abilities.”
Seeing Gu Qingjiu turn her head back, Yin Ruoyi narrowed his eyes. “She’s simply born for the battlefield.”
This sentence made Yang Guanglin’s jaw drop.
“How… how is she as good as you make her out to be?”
“From the sounds of it, the rumors of NDU[1] being completely wiped out the last time was real?”
Jiao Yujin’s words made Yang Guanglin’s face and ears flush. “What completely wiped out? You made it sound so awful. It’s not like she singlehandedly eliminated our team!”
“She singlehandedly finished off 18 players. Technically speaking you guys were indeed completely wiped out. We were two short of that.”
Chen Yan took things easier than Yang Guanglin, for he could still say that with a smile.
Yang Guanglin was seething with anger.
This person was itching for a beating!
Jiao Yujin appeared shocked. “She did that all by herself? Did you guys change your strategy last time, leading to so many of your members getting eliminated?”
The tradition of holding outdoor activities applied to every military school, and they were more or less similar.
When they heard the news, Jiao Yujin’s first reaction was that they had changed their strategy to battling as a group.
Or else, one person couldn’t eliminate so many people by herself.
It wasn’t as if she was Yin Ruoyi!
But unexpectedly, Chen Yan sighed and shook his head. “Nope. If that was the case it’s nothing surprising. She indeed killed off 18 players singlehandedly. Although I’ve watched the video, I still couldn’t quite understand how she had that kind of judgment prowess under such a situation. Moreover, she finished those 18 players and one snake off with 20 bullets. Only one of her shots missed.”
“Yujin, I’ve got to admit this world is full of surprises.”
He had thought that Yin Ruoyi was the only one with such a perverse amount of talent, and hadn’t expected there to appear a second one. But judging from what limited information they had, even Yin Ruoyi back then couldn’t quite compare to her…
This was way too scary.
No wonder NMUC had kept this under wraps.
They didn’t deliberately manage her in a certain way so that she could have a quiet training environment.
Even the commanding officer that had a conflict with her was transferred away; furthermore, that person came from the Qin family.
“Sounds like…”
Jiao Yujin fell into deep thought. “Since that’s the case, wouldn’t our country be more confident about our chances in the international competition three years later?”
“Can’t be sure about that.”
Yin Ruoyi frowned. “That depends on her performance going forward. If she continues to improve, she will clinch a spot in the international competition three years later.”
“But we’ve still got to depend on you this time. Don’t worry about other matters, we’ll deal with that.”
Jiao Yujin patted Yin Ruoyi’s shoulder. “Don’t be too stressed out about the summer competition.”
As Yin Ruoyi’s good friend, he was also aware of how many people in the country were pinning their hopes on Yin Ruoyi.
