Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Every time I hear people praising her, my heart aches. She should have grown up as a cherished treasure in a warm greenhouse, but instead… Don’t you feel the pain when you see her like this?”
Wen Huai’s words left Mu Chengxi silent. How could he not feel the pain? When he discovered Wen Xin was actually Slightly Tipsy, he lost control of his emotions. He spent the entire night staring at her, fearing she might disappear if he looked away for even a moment.
After a long silence, Mu Chengxi’s voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke, “I have an organization I just took over. Its internal structure is a bit complicated. If you’re willing, you can take over. I’ll arrange for someone to assist you. Once you stabilize it, the organization will be at your disposal. Are you willing?”
Mu Chengxi had always thought Wen Huai’s gentle personality was suited for research. He was fine with Wen Huai continuing like this and eventually taking over the Independent State, helping Wen Xin in the process.
But now it seemed Wen Huai was not content with that. He had his own ambitions and expectations, making taking over Ghost’s Domain the best choice for him.
“I’m willing!” Wen Huai knew that whatever Mu Chengxi offered him would be the best. He trusted Mu Chengxi and believed in himself.
“Alright, come to my office at the administration building tonight. I’ll brief you on the situation there. But remember, don’t tell your sister yet. She’ll worry.”
Mu Chengxi gently squeezed Wen Huai’s shoulder, his voice soft as he reminded him, “This is our secret as men.”
“Don’t worry. My sister has already been through so much. I won’t let her worry about me. I want to protect her.”
Wen Huai’s eyes were determined and earnest. He hoped to use his abilities to protect Wen Xin. His parents’ goals were not only scientific research but also to raise Wen Xin as a precious little princess.
He hoped to fulfill that dream himself.
After their discussion, Mu Chengxi took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at the clear blue sky and white clouds in the distance.
Having lost the first round, Jiang Linyan was agitated, but Wen Xin’s shooting result gave her a sense of relief. She thought Wen Xin’s skills weren’t that great after all. Being good with firearms meant nothing without real skills.
In the second round, she planned to compete with Wen Xin in sniping. She was determined to crush Wen Xin with her expertise, to trample her underfoot.
Wen Xin and Jiang Linyan both changed into their shooting gear and appeared at the shooting range. A person behind Jiang Linyan carried a sniper rifle for her, while Wen Xin casually picked up a gun that was stock standard.
With both competitors ready, the referee instructor spoke up, “Wen Xin, Instructor Jiang, please take your positions and prepare.”
Jiang Linyan arrogantly took her sniper rifle from the person behind her and walked to the shooting position, setting up her rifle with exaggerated movements.
Wen Xin couldn’t help but click her tongue at Jiang Linyan’s pretentiousness, thinking she was wasting a good sniper rifle.
Wen Xin stood at the shooting position, casually holding her gun. She checked the gun’s sight and, as expected, found it slightly misaligned.
However, Wen Xin didn’t mind. She felt no pressure in this simple competition; winning was enough for her.
Holding the gun steadily, Wen Xin signaled to the referee that she was ready.
The referee, seeing Wen Xin’s stance, chuckled, his laugh carrying a hint of mockery. He thought this frail-looking girl must be handling a sniper rifle for the first time. The recoil would probably shatter her shoulder.
Ou Jinzhi, observing the scene, felt a surge of tension. He quickly scanned the area but couldn’t see Mu Chengxi. He hurried over to Wen Xin, intending to warn her.
“Wen Xin, your stance is wrong. The recoil will injure your shoulder. With ten shots on moving targets and ten on stationary ones, you’ll be crippled. If you don’t know how to handle a sniper rifle, I can arrange a demonstration. Your stance is too dangerous.”
“No need. We can start now.” Feeling a bit tired from holding the gun, Wen Xin wanted to finish quickly. The sun was making her uncomfortable.
Wen Xin’s attitude and tone frustrated Ou Jinzhi. He rubbed his nose, sighed helplessly, and left the shooting range.
He thought to himself that Wen Xin was too stubborn. It was too late to find Mu Chengxi now, so he decided to let it be.
Jiang Linyan, seeing Wen Xin’s actions, smirked mockingly. She raised her hand, signaling the referee that she was ready.
With both competitors ready, the referee instructor activated the moving targets.
Wen Xin fired the first shot, standing steadily. The instructors and soldiers watching were shocked.
Unlike the freshmen, they understood the technicalities and parameters involved. They were amazed at Wen Xin’s steady shooting.
Even Ou Jinzhi was stunned. He couldn’t see how Wen Xin could shoot so steadily with her stance. He was left in awe, unable to comprehend how Wen Xin managed it.
After finishing the moving targets, Wen Xin’s fixed targets popped up. Her shooting speed was so fast that no one could follow her actions. They only heard ten shots from Wen Xin’s gun, and she was done.
While everyone was excitedly discussing, Wen Xin suddenly raised her gun and seriously aimed at a distant mountain.
With a “bang,” the bullet was fired, and a flag on the mountain, 1200 meters away, slowly fell. It was clear Wen Xin had hit the flagpole.
The gun Wen Xin used had a stable maximum range of 800 meters, meaning hitting the fixed targets was already at her limit.
However, the flagpole was 1200 meters away, indicating that Wen Xin’s shooting skills were exceptional.
As Mu Chengxi and Wen Huai walked in, they saw this scene. Mu Chengxi’s pupils contracted slightly, worried about the recoil injuring Wen Xin’s thin shoulder. He thought she didn’t care for her own body.
Wen Xin’s impressive display unsettled Jiang Linyan. Her hand trembled, causing her last shot to miss the target…
After the shooting ended, Wen Xin casually handed the gun to the soldier behind her. Before she could turn around, a dark figure rushed towards her, trying to grab her collar, but Wen Xin caught the person’s wrist.
