Chapter 661: This Isn’t the Ji You I Know
Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan, Yue Qiguang, and others upon hearing this, simultaneously said to Shen Changqing: "The one who squanders the family wealth!"
Shen Changqing: "..."
Sheng Qingyan glanced at Shen Changqing whose face was flushed with red, and covered her mouth, giggling: "Aqing, on this point, you truly can’t compare to that poor dead guy, Ji You."
Shen Changqing: "..."
Listening to his friends’ teasing, Shen Changqing’s elegant face, at this moment, shone like the burning clouds on the horizon. He pursed his lips and softly said: "In the next round of make-up examination, I will appropriately control the consumption of energy."
Then, Shen Changqing stopped paying attention to others’ teasing and stared intently at Ji You inside the examination room.
Ji You was lying still, her eyes closed, seemingly asleep?
Asleep?
Students: "..."
At this time, she can still sleep?
For a moment, everyone was somewhat speechless.
Of course, Ji You wasn’t truly heartless enough to sleep inside the examination room. The examination had a time limit, but from Challenge 1 to Challenge 4, Ji You did not take much time, thus she had plenty of time left.
She wasn’t in a hurry to tackle the challenges.
Moreover, she had been too tense while attempting the previous challenges; she had to rest properly.
Challenge four was a shooting range, besides the moving targets, there were no other dangers. Where else could be more suitable for resting?
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
After quietly resting with her eyes closed for 3 minutes, Ji You then reopened them—
As soon as her eyes opened, her whole demeanor changed instantly, like a lion waking from sleep, full of sharpness!
Then—
She squinted her eyes, aiming at the nearest target within her line of sight—
Students instantly perked up: "Here it comes!"
"Will she hit it?"
"The targets are moving too fast, seems a bit risky."
"Is this really a basic driving test?"
"I doubt it too, is this still beginner’s village difficulty?"
...
Ji You’s expected shot did not happen; instead, she continued to half-squint her eyes, focusing on the nearest target.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
Then, Ji You abruptly pulled the trigger of the particle cannon!
Whoosh—
The particle cannon grazed through the air resistance and shot out...
Finally, with a ’bang’, it just narrowly missed the edge of the target, skewing off.
Onlookers all raised their hands to their foreheads, sighing deeply:
"Ah..."
"What a pity..."
"Just missed by a little!"
...
Ji You’s expression remained calm. After this shot, she did not pause. Then, she fired another shot.
Whoosh—
Boom!!!
Direct hit on the target!
The crowd cheered: "Damn!"
"Cool!"
"Awesome!"
"Rad!"
After successfully hitting the target’s center, Ji You raised her hand and lightly rubbed her brow, then continued to aim—
Whoosh—
The third particle cannon was just as powerful as the second one, hitting the target at its closest point to Ji You’s position.
The crowd was jubilant: "Damn! Ji You’s aura today is so strong!"
Following that, the fourth and fifth shots—
All hit!
The outside cheering, Ji You completely blocked out. In her eyes and mind, there were only continuously moving targets, and as Ji You hit four, their speed seemed to get even faster.
After the cheering, the students’ hearts also rose, everyone stared unwaveringly at Ji You, who was lying on the ground squinting slightly, those dark pupils bursting out a light, sharp as a drawn sword, captivating—
Here it comes!
Initially, just a faint whizzing sound, and then, everyone saw a particle cannon shooting straight towards a specific point! The target, shaking back and forth, its exact position was completely elusive, but just as the particle cannon reached—
Boom!
Hit!
Hit again!
With that, Ji You consecutively hit 5 targets right in the bullseye!
As long as she hit 3 more, she would surely pass the fourth stage.
For a moment, the students’ hearts tightened even more, fluttering anxiously, but for some reason, when everyone caught a glimpse of Ji You’s bright eyes, their nerves strangely dissipated.
She was too calm, aiming at the target’s heart like a seasoned hunter staring down prey, with not a hint of panic in her eyes or disruption in her motion, composed and rational like a cold machine.
This emotion quickly infected the surrounding students.
Then—
Ji You fired her seventh particle cannon shot of the day.
Swoosh—
The eighth!
Swoosh—
The ninth!
Swoosh—
Three particle cannon shots, almost seamlessly executed, fired in three different directions—
The students’ recently calm hearts jumped to their throats again: "!!!"
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The students covered their eyes, unable to bear seeing the results, but the glimpses through the gaps between their fingers revealed it!
All three shots hit the target!
The students: "!!!"
"Cool!"
"Awesome!"
"Incredible!"
...
"Is this the same number 4444 Ji You I know?"
"She’s a sharpshooter!"
"This accuracy, it’s unbeatable!"
...
After firing 9 particle cannons and hitting 8, she had already met the criteria to pass, lifting the tense atmosphere among the students instantly, and they began to chat leisurely.
"This can’t be Ji You!"
"This is Ji You on cheats."
"Cheating, nailed it!"
...
Amidst the playful teasing of the students, Ji You completely ignored them, her gaze fixed on the final target, slightly furrowing her brows:
To shoot?
Or not to shoot?
Shooting could enhance Ji You’s assessment score. As long as she passed all 5 stages within the set time, she would obtain the Basic Mecha Driver’s License, so the score was not very useful, only adding a nice shine to the license.
Not shooting might reduce her score a bit, but it wasn’t too harmful and would save some energy.
Weighing her options, Ji You thought: Screw it, why do I need a fancy-looking license? Of course, I should save energy.
So—
While everyone was eagerly awaiting Ji You to fire the last particle cannon and beautifully finish the fourth stage, Ji You suddenly withdrew her weapon, stood up in her mecha, patted her bottom, and walked away.
Walked away?
The students: "???"
But—
The way she slapped her bottom and casually turned away was too slick and decisive, like a heartbreaker who ruthlessly dumps and leaves!
For a moment, the students collectively went: "..."
Was she—
Simply giving up on the last target?
Without another word, Ji You rushed straight for the fifth stage, through her actions declaring to everyone, as expected, which left the students somewhat speechlessly choked up:
"Her energy is still at 11%, firing another particle cannon would probably take about 1.5% of energy, it makes sense not to continue."
"Cough cough..."
"She’s really thrifty."
"Cough cough..."
...
The fifth stage, actually, wasn’t difficult. She just needed to break through a set up obstacle to smoothly and freely leave the examination room.
Ji You reached the critical point of the stage and then stopped.
In front of her was a formidable wall, littered with countless blades, and from time to time ’trash’ would drop from the wall, which actually contained bombs.
A moment of inattention could blow you and your mecha to pieces.
Looking at all this, Ji You’s brows furrowed deeply!
