Chapter 722: Someone Is Throwing the Game!
As her thoughts reached this point, Gu Qingjiu came to a decision.
She would take a gamble!
In any case, there was this one chance, and it wasn’t as if she couldn’t dodge it.
Having made up her mind, Gu Qingjiu focused her gaze and concentration, sensing that location all around.
Of course, she didn’t lower her guard for other spots.
She gently pressed her thumb upon the trigger…
And then…
She abruptly pulled the trigger!
So what if that person heard the sound? She was gambling on the fact that the other party wouldn’t be able to guess who the bullet was aiming for!
Bang!
At that instant, the bullet flew towards the participant who Gu Qingjiu guessed must be lying on their stomach. The person was indeed startled.
And by the time a certain bullet flew towards them, it was already too late for them to try to dodge it.
Pfft!
“Ouch!”
It appeared to be a painful hit, for that participant held a hand to their head and cried out loud.
To ensure exactness in the competition, all the participants wore protective gear to protect their eyes.
After all, this type of bullet could cause damage to their eyes, the most fragile part of the body. If one were hit on a clothed spot, it would cause momentary numbness, but it would still be a tad painful if it hit one on bare skin.
“Wah!!”
This sound came from all the officials present who were still awake.
It was already incredible enough for her to obtain four points consecutively.
And now, to think she took down five points?
Five points!
It was a rare feat in international competitions.
At present, Cruff was the only one who had achieved such a feat.
This young lass from China, who was taking part for the first time, actually took down five points!
On the points scoreboard, the China team which Gu Qingjiu belonged to had already gone up to the first place. Now, in mere moments, the disparity between first place and second place widened considerably.
With 14 points, China ranked first, and in terms of individual scores, Gu Qingjiu was also ranked first.
Ranked at second was, of course, the US team, with nine points.
It was that one point that Gu Qingjiu obtained the second time that allowed China to overtake them.
But this time, with the significant disparity in scores between them now, even if Cruff wished to overtake them, it wouldn’t be easy.
If he couldn’t eliminate Gu Qingjiu, then it was clear that unless he got a five-points, it wasn’t easy for him to close up the difference with Gu Qingjiu attacking other players simultaneously.
The officials felt it unbelievable how Gu Qingjiu determined this player’s location with several players present in that area.
Most importantly, they knew sharpshooters had incredible response abilities, so it was indeed not too easy for her to hit her target with the sharpshooter standing upright.
The player lying on their stomach was indeed the best choice.
But how did Gu Qingjiu realize the player was lying on their stomach?
They saw that when Gu Qingjiu came to the center; she was always under attack and didn’t have any time for observation. Furthermore, that player was some distance away from her, so how could she possibly discover that?
“Damn, damn, damn, damn!”
Nian Chusheng was so agitated that he didn’t know what to say. He hurriedly said to the official next to him, “Quick, quick, quick! Call Chairman Song!”
The official was a tad hesitant. “Chairman Song is sleeping.”
“Sleeping? How could he sleep with such a situation happening right now? Quick, wake him up and ask him to come over. I’m sure there will be fascinating action later! It’s not over yet!”
Seeing Nian Chusheng so agitated, the official had no choice but to call Chairman Song.
Nian Chusheng glanced at Helian Niancheng, who was in front and didn’t seem worked up seeing Gu Qingjiu obtain such high marks.
No idea if it was because he wasn’t Chinese or because he felt it was normal?
Tsk!
But just then, something even more stunning happened.
The China team and US team suddenly shot up five points each.
The China team now had 19 points, while the US team now had 14 points!
They showed the points in real-time. Even if two players were eliminated simultaneously, the points would jump by one point, three points, and one point. For the score to jump by five points all at once, it went to show that they obtained five points at one go.
Gu Qingjiu had gone into hiding after obtaining those five points earlier, and they could see that there was no action from her on-screen. So, she didn’t win these five points.
Where did the five points for the US team and China team come from?
Also, since when was it so easy to get five points?
It was already unbelievable enough for one five-points to be obtained in a single game, okay!
Coach, I want to snitch! Someone is throwing the game!
