Chapter 86: Challenge (3)
Su Jinyue nodded and picked up the parts on the table to examine them.
“This is a firing pin. It’s the firing mechanism of a firearm that strikes the primer in the base of a cartridge and causes it to fire the bullets.” Every time Su Jinyue picked up a part, Zhan Yihan would explain the function of the part and where it should be placed.
After about five minutes, Su Jinyue had familiarized herself with all the parts.
“Are you done looking at all of them?” Wei Yuanxing asked when he saw Su Jinyue put down the parts.
“Yes!” Su Jinyue nodded. Her memory was not bad to begin with, but it got even better after she started cultivating. Naturally, she did not need much time to memorize these parts.
“In that case, I’ll assemble it once for you to take a look. You must look closely,” Wei Yuanxing said as he picked up the parts on the table. Originally, it would have been more appropriate for Yihan to teach her this, but his hand was injured, so he could only do it for him.
In an extremely slow manner, Wei Yuanxing assembled the components in order before disassembling them again and placing them back on the table. “Did you get a good look?”
“Yes!” Su Jinyue picked up the parts on the table and started to assemble them. Now that she understood the location and function of the parts, it was not difficult for her to assemble them.
Wei Yuanxing was stunned when he saw that Su Jinyue had assembled the pistol accurately albeit with a hint of unfamiliarity! This is too frightening. Is this really Su Jinyue’s first time assembling a pistol? There are quite a number of parts in a pistol. When he first assembled and disassembled it, he had also made two mistakes before learning it.
Su Jinyue assembled the gun, disassembled it and assembled it again.
Half an hour passed quickly. Everyone came out of the resting room and returned to the training ground. When they saw that Su Jinyue had already arrived, they couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Did she learn it that quickly? Or has she already lost confidence in herself? However, they felt that the latter was more likely. To be able to learn it in half an hour was already very good but it was impossible to win.
Wei Yuanxing stood beside Old Master Wei. Even though he was trying his best to control himself, the corners of his lips still couldn’t help but curl up. He was really looking forward to Su Jinyue’s performance.
Old Master Wei glanced at Wei Yuanxing before turning to look at Su Jinyue with a pensive expression.
This time, the person who took on the challenge was Xu Lin, the captain of the Swan Goose Squad. She was also the fastest in assembling and disassembling pistols in the entire squad.
Xu Lin came in front of Su Jinyue and stretched out her hand with a smile. “I’m Xu Lin. Please guide me!”
Su Jinyue smiled faintly and shook her hand. “Hello!”
“I won’t go easy on you.” Xu Lin let go of Su Jinyue’s hand and walked over to the table with the gun parts. She was the captain of the Swan Goose team, so of course she had to defend the team’s honor. They had already lost a round just now, so she definitely couldn’t lose this round. She was confident that she would win!
Seeing that both of them were in position, Yan Jing announced, “Begin!”
Su Jinyue and Xu Lin picked up the parts on the table at the same time. Their movements were as quick as lightning.
“Is Su Jinyue a soldier too? Why is she so familiar with guns?”
“She just said that she doesn’t know how to use a gun. Was she trying to lower our vigilance?”
“Captain won’t lose, right?”
“You’re the one who will. Captain is so strong, how can she possibly lose?”
Old Master Wei looked at Su Jinyue’s actions. Although his face was calm, his heart was in turmoil. Did Su Jinyue really only use half an hour to practice?
“I only taught her once and she learned it. Grandpa, don’t you think she’s a genius?” Wei Yuanxing’s eyes shone with excitement. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe that Su Jinyue hadn’t touched a gun before.
“Yes!” Old Master Wei nodded in agreement. In his mind, he was considering whether he should talk to Su Jinyue and get her to join the army to serve the country. It would be a pity if such a talent was not utilized by the country.
Su Jinyue and Xu Lin put down their guns at the same time.
Everyone looked at Su Jinyue in a daze. Even if they had completed it at the same time, they still could not believe it. Xu Lin’s speed of assembling was one of the fastest in Blue Flame Clubhouse, but Su Jinyue was actually on par with her. This was simply unbelievable!
“I don’t believe it. It’s definitely not Su Jinyue’s first time.”
“She must have been lying. Captain’s speed is the result of hard work. How can Su Jinyue surpass her in half an hour?”
“So the second round is a draw. As long as we win the third round, it will still be a draw.”
Yan Jing came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and announced, “The two of them used the same amount of time in the second round, so this round is a draw. The third round is shooting. Members who are participating in the third round, please step forward.” Now, there was one victory and one draw. If the Swan Goose team could win the third round, then it would still be a draw. Therefore, he wanted to ask the Old Chief’s opinion and see if he wanted to carry out an additional round.
The one taking on the challenge from the Swan Goose Team this time was still Xu Lin. Her marksmanship was as good as her pistol assembly. Therefore, she was the most suitable candidate for the third round.
Everyone came to the shooting range. This time, they were competing in long-range shooting of 50 meters. Each person had ten bullets. Whoever fired the highest total target score would win.
“Old Chief, if the Swan Goose squad wins this time, do we need to have another additional round?” Yan Jing asked Old Master Wei. He felt that Xu Lin had a high chance of winning this round. After all, Xu Lin’s results were there for all to see. Her shooting results had always been stable, and all above 95 points.
Old Master Wei looked at Su Jinyue, who was not far away. He saw that there was not a hint of nervousness on her face, as if everything was within her control. He smiled slightly. “Perhaps there’s no need for that.” He looked forward to Su Jinyue bringing him another surprise.
