How come I was the one being targeted?

"Then the competition will start in ten seconds. Remember to use all your strength. Remember, all your strength." As Ye Lina finished speaking, several machines in the distance of the shooting range slowly started up.

Bai Jun paid a little attention to his surroundings and saw several human-shaped symbols slowly rising up. They should be the enemies that Ye Lina mentioned.

10, 9, 8, 7.......3, 2, 1——!

As a shrill horn sounded, three blue cursors gradually appeared on the shooting range of the two. When Ye Lina confirmed the direction and was ready to shoot, she heard three crisp gunshots in her ears, and the speed was even much faster than her own.

Her attention was instantly diverted to Bai Jun standing beside her. She saw that the three blue cursors on his shooting range were shattered at the moment the gunshots rang out. This was not the end. Three more gunshots were heard, and the human-shaped symbols rising around were also shot in the head, and then slowly fell down.

Obviously, what Bai Jun said before about not being good at firearms was all bullshit. This liar's shooting skills were obviously not worse than his.

Ye Lina was shocked and angry, and quickly turned her attention back to her shooting range. She quickly fired three shots to shatter the blue cursor, and then followed Bai Jun's example and fired several shots to shoot down the enemy.

After a round of shooting, the two's scores remained at three points.

The second round followed closely, and the blue cursor's movement trajectory suddenly changed. The static cursor became dynamic, running around on the wall like a fly. At the same time, the enemies around it rose up again, and their speed was obviously a bit faster.

Ye Lina weighed it for a moment and chose the safest way - she decided to defeat the enemies around her first, and then break the blue cursors on the wall one by one.

When the plan was just forming in her mind, Bai Jun in the next field had already smashed the cursor on the wall. This made Ye Lina a little anxious. Fortunately, her level was not to be underestimated. After the second round, she did not lose the blue cursor.

The difficulty of the last round increased suddenly. The blue cursor and the enemy appeared almost simultaneously, and many heavy obstacles rose from the ground, just blocking the position of the blue cursor.

In this situation, it would be quite difficult for an ordinary person to get one or two cursors, but Ye Linna is worthy of being a tough person who can get almost full marks in the physical test of Interstellar Peace Company. The moment the obstacle rose, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

Fire several shots in succession to get rid of the enemies around you, then hit the same point of the obstacle with several bullets to destroy it, and finally call on the troops and generals to easily take down the blue cursor.

After finishing all this, Ye Lina first looked at Bai Jun beside her. Just when she wanted to see how far he had gone, she found that he had actually started to eject the bullets from the magazine one by one. He was so relaxed and comfortable that it seemed as if he had just warmed up.

"You liar, you said you were not good at guns." Ye Lina slowly placed the pistol on the table and sighed, feeling powerless as if she was being played by him.

"It's not that I'm not good at firearms, it's just relatively speaking..." Bai Jun had a sly smile on his face, and an inexplicable feeling of joy emanated from his whole body.

"Hmph, you didn't beat me either. We're at best a draw." Although Ye Lina already had a vague feeling in her heart that she could not compare to Bai Jun, for the sake of her own face, she still chose to turn her face away proudly.

At this moment, the judging machine, which had counted the number of blue pistols on both sides, announced the result in a cold and steady manner: "Position One: 9 points, Position Two: 11 points."

Ye Lina's expression froze instantly. She lowered her head and looked at her pistol. The number that appeared on the muzzle was a striking 9.

There are only ten spots of light in each person's shooting range, so why is there a difference in scores... Wait!?

"Anyway, the ultimate goal is to break the blue light, right?"

Bai Jun's words before the game seemed to be repeated in Ye Lina's ears again, and she gradually understood everything - it must be Bai Jun who secretly broke a blue cursor in her shooting range while she was not paying attention!

"when...."

But she still felt incredulous. She turned her head and saw Bai Jun casually picking up the pistol, spinning the trigger guard casually on his finger, with a big 11 on the muzzle of the gun.

"During your last round shooting the obstacles." He put down the pistol and hummed triumphantly, "Times have changed. I won this time."

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count!" Ye Lina shook her head vigorously, refusing to acknowledge Bai Jun's victory. "My network connection just now was slow... No, that's not right, my hands were cold. Ah, anyway, I wasn't in the best shape, so it doesn't count! And you're so mean!"

"Huh? You're really cheating, Miss Ye Lina. Didn't you tell me to give it my all?"

This was the first time that Bai Jun saw the usually mature and steady Ye Lina reveal a girlish heart. Although her rosy face looked very cute, Bai Jun still felt that it would be better to talk about the matter at hand.

"Whatever! Fight me again! Don't shoot at my target this time!"

Ye Lina acted as if she would cry if he dared to refuse her, and forcibly dragged Bai Jun back to the shooting range, and imposed restrictions on Bai Jun in a very unsportsmanlike manner.

"Okay, okay, let's compete again, again."

Bai Jun had no choice but to distance himself from Ye Lina and return to his position to reload ammunition.

"Don't blame me for being mean. I will never lose again this time!" Ye Lina mobilized 120% of her energy this time, took a deep breath, and fixed her eyes on the target paper fifty meters away.

10, 9, 8, 7.......3, 2, 1——!

Another shrill horn sounded, and familiar blue cursors gradually appeared on the target papers on both sides of the field.

——Don't let Bai Jun hit the target on our side this time. The worst that can happen is a draw. Ye Lina, you can do it...huh!?

Ye Lina's original idea was to break all the blue labels on her side and barely tie with Bai Jun.

As a result, just as he broke two blue labels and was about to shoot the third bullet, he saw a bullet flying towards him accurately.

With a bang, the bullet hit Ye Lina's gun muzzle accurately, successfully causing the third bullet to deviate from the intended trajectory by a few centimeters...

Ding, the round is over.

Bai Jun scored three points and Ye Lina scored two points.

"How, how could this be..." Ye Lina took a few steps back in disbelief, and fell to the ground in a duck-like position with a thud.

"Hehe, I must win."

Bai Jun casually put away his pistol and chivalrously extended a helping hand to Ye Lina, who was lying on the ground, doubting her life. "Don't worry, there's nothing shameful about losing to me - Kougua!"

This time it was Ye Lina who bit his arm.

Chapter 50 is a bit strange, take another look

"Alas, I finally know who the account belongs to."

Walking out of the shooting range, Bai Jun rubbed his arm which had clear teeth marks on it, and looked at Ye Lina with some resentment.

"Humph, who told you to always cheat?"

"Come on, Miss Ye Lina, you said you were going all out, so why am I the one cheating now?"

Ye Lina held Qianqian in her arms. Although her puffed-up face looked angry, her whole body revealed an exceptionally relaxed feeling. She turned her little face to the side, but from time to time she turned her eyes to glance at Bai Jun. After seeing his miserable look, she burst into laughter, and her pretended seriousness immediately disappeared. She walked up and gently patted his shoulder.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. I really can't beat you in shooting."

Ye Lina was very frank in admitting that others were stronger than herself. It would be better to say that in the pressure cooker-like environment of the Interstellar Peace Company, people who were too petty would not be able to survive.

"That's good to know." Bai Jun also accepted Ye Lina's praise very calmly, and shamelessly asked back: "Want to learn my Glock jump gun tutorial?"

"Hey, hey, don't be so arrogant. And what is a Glock? If it's something bad, be careful or I'll bite you." As she said that, Ye Lina suddenly moved the gun in her arms close to Bai Jun's face.

"It was just a joke, don't be like this." Seeing the account, Bai Jun subconsciously took a step to the side and calmly changed the subject: "I'm hungry. Do you have any plans?"

"hungry?"

Ye Lina first looked up at the sun hanging directly overhead, and then glanced at the time on her wrist. The pointer on the small watch was exactly at 11:24, which surprised her as she had a very keen sense of time. She had never subconsciously ignored time like this before.

"Ah, I didn't expect it to be this late..." Ye Lina's gaze returned to Bai Jun, and her tone was laced with apology. "Excuse me, I know a good restaurant here. Let's go there for dinner."

Bai Jun nodded to indicate that he had no objection. He didn't have too many requirements for the food, as long as it was edible... If possible, it would be better if it was cheaper, as his financial resources were a bit tight recently.

"Come to think of it, Bai Jun, how come your shooting skills are so good? This level is considered to be the best in the company, but looking at you... are you using a knife?" On the road, Ye Lina, who was walking in front, suddenly turned her head curiously and pointed at the sword on his waist and said.

"Strictly speaking, the knife is not the weapon I'm really good at. As for this knife, it's at best a ritual tool of some kind. I usually hang it on my body for show." Bai Jun gently stroked the exquisitely carved handle and the scabbard engraved with flame patterns, as if he was missing something.

"Oh? It sounds like there's something else going on. Can you tell me about it?"

After hearing what he said, Ye Lina suddenly became interested. Unable to suppress the curiosity in her heart that was like a feather tickling her, she moved closer to him and listened attentively.

"Well, there's not much to say about this knife. If I have to say, the weapon I'm really good at is the giant sword." Bai Jun cleverly avoided the topic of swords, shrugged, and made a gesture of holding a giant sword with both hands.

"Giant sword? This is really rare..."

"Each region of the Xianzhou Alliance has its own unique swordplay styles. Luofu swordplay emphasizes light and agile movements; Zhuming swordplay emphasizes wide-open and wide-open movements, unrestrained and uninhibited, slow and fast, fierce and swift like a tiger; Yaoqing swordplay emphasizes clean and neat movements, continuous movements, distinct strengths and weaknesses, interweaving dots and lines, and pursuing profound meaning. You think greatswords are rare simply because you haven't been to Zhuming."

"Zhu Ming's craftsmanship is highly developed. The artisans' favorite thing to do is to use unfinished sword blanks to compete to see whose material is the most vigorous. If you could witness that scene, you would probably understand what grand opening and closing means..."

As Bai Jun walked, he explained in detail like a professional world tour guide, and Ye Lina beside him listened with gusto, nodding from time to time, as if she had really imagined Zhu Ming's scene.

"I see. I originally thought the Zhuming Immortal Boat was a clunky forge, with sparks flying everywhere and muscular craftsmen banging away at their hammers. Now I think I've been flying around less civilized planets too much and completely forgotten that Zhuming is a craftsmanship school on par with Pierpoint and Screw Star."

"If you have never seen Zhu Minghuo in your life, it would be in vain even if you have traveled across the sea of ​​stars. If you have the chance in the future, you can go there to take a look. I personally think it is very interesting." Bai Jun gave such an evaluation.

As they were talking, the two came to the restaurant that Ye Lina mentioned. It was dinner time and the restaurant was full of people. Fortunately, the soundproof private room was still there. Ye Lina, the rich woman, waved her hand and showed Bai Jun her financial strength in a domineering manner.

The fire in the kitchen was burning brightly, and the aroma of seafood broth, shrimps and rice gradually flowed out of the kitchen, filling the entire space. When the aroma was at its strongest, two plates of fried seafood rice and fish soup were brought over by the waiter.

"Bai Jun, you are so familiar with Zhu Ming. It doesn't seem like you have just been there. Are you a native of Zhu Ming?" Ye Lina handed a spoon to Bai Jun opposite her, and stuffed a few gems into the mouth of the dog in her arms to prevent it from making a noise.

"Well, almost."

He picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of steaming hot rice into his mouth, then silently quickened his pace, clearing the rice on the plate at a speed that was almost as fast as a whirlwind. When he was satisfied with the meal, he would even praise it incoherently, "Hmm, Haotz, Ye Lina, you picked a good place..."

Ye Linna looked at Bai Jun who was wolfing down his food, a gentle smile appearing in the corner of her eyes. She picked up a tissue and gently wiped the rice grains hanging from the corner of his mouth. "As long as you like it, eat slowly. If it's not enough, ask for more."

buzz-

Yu Zhao's voice suddenly rang out, and Ye Lina almost subconsciously reached for the phone in her pocket, only to find that it was not her call.

"Cough cough..."

Perhaps it was because he ate too fast, or perhaps it was affected by the jade in his pocket, but Bai Jun suddenly started coughing. Seeing this, Ye Lina quickly handed him the seafood soup. He gulped down half a bowl and then breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

"Sorry, I'm going out to take a call."

He took out the jade sign from his pocket with a little dissatisfaction, and after seeing the name displayed on it, he sighed, then took off his coat, stood up and walked out of the restaurant.

Ye Lina watched his back as he gradually left the restaurant. Just as she was about to eat, she caught a glimpse of the fact that Zhang Zhang, who was supposed to be eating gems next to her, had actually rushed to Bai Jun's seat and pulled out a notebook with a crow pattern on it from his coat pocket.

"Shou shou! Don't rummage through other people's things!"

After hearing Ye Lina's angry voice, Zhang Zhang immediately let go of the notes in his mouth and obediently returned to his chair.

Ye Lina hurriedly picked up the notebook on the ground and flipped through it to check if it was bitten by Zhang Zhang's teeth. When Ye Lina's eyes moved to the content of a certain page, her pupils suddenly shook.

"Wait... this is it!"

Chapter 51: You caterpillar, why are you so imaginative?

At the door of the restaurant, Bai Jun looked at the name displayed on Yu Zhao's call, his expression somewhat helpless.

It was extremely uncomfortable to be interrupted in the middle of a meal, but he still chose to be patient and clicked the connect button. Sure enough, the nagging voice of someone came from Yu Zhao's other end.

"Ah, I finally got through. It was so slow. Why is it so slow today? I thought you overslept or simply forgot about it. But fortunately, it seems that these worries are unnecessary."

"It's impossible that you have forgotten what you promised yesterday, right? So what instructions do you have for me that you bothered to call me, my dear Lord Jackdaw?" Bai Jun rubbed his eyes and finally squeezed out some rationality from his confused state.

Yu Zhao's voice on the other end was even a little cheerful. "Can't I come to you if there's nothing else? Or do you just want to ignore me and think I'm nagging?"

"Let's get down to business."

Hearing Bai Jun's cold voice, Jackdaw on the other side of Yuzhao realized that any further jokes might be a bit too much, so he cleared his throat and said, "I just want to inform you that my sister will return to the world around 6 pm. The specific meeting place is Sanyu Bookstore. Don't forget what I taught you yesterday. You must make sure my sister enjoys her return to the world."

"Leave it to me. Anything else?"

"That's all, but if you want, we can talk again—"

With a beep, Bai Jun hung up Yu Zhao and turned to walk into the restaurant. He felt that having a meal was more meaningful than chatting with Jackdaw. As a result, as soon as he returned to the door of the private room, Bai Jun noticed that Ye Lina had her head down, looking lost in thought, and no one knew what she was looking at.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ah... S-Sorry, I didn't mean to look!"

The sudden sound made Ye Lina, who was watching intently, scream. She covered her blushing cheeks and her notes fell to the ground with a thud.

Bai Jun was a little confused as to why she was so panicked. He looked down and found that this was the notebook that Jackdaw had given him to use when he and Xue Yi ran out of topics to chat. It must have fallen accidentally when he took off his coat.

He roughly flipped through a few pages of the content, and it was just some meaningless nonsense... Thinking about it this way, the reason why Ye Lina panicked might be that she was afraid that he would think she was a scumbag who peeped into other people's privacy?

What a simple girl.

He bent down to pick up the notebook on the ground, seemingly unconcerned, and said with a smile, "It's okay. I won't mind such a small matter."

“N-You don’t care? You don’t care even if it’s like this!?”

Ye Lina's face became visibly redder, and her fair cheeks were flushed with a layer of pink. Her fingers pinched her sleeves nervously, and her eyes gradually became round.

“Why should I care…”

Bai Jun looked at her reaction, feeling strangely surprised. He quietly flipped through a few more pages of his notebook and discovered that they still contained Jackdaw's daily, meaningless complaints. Only then did he gradually calm down and say, "Okay, I won't make a fuss about it. Let's eat quickly."

“Okay, okay…”

In short, lunch ended in a rather strange atmosphere. Even after finishing the meal, there was still a faint blush on Ye Lina's face. Although it was cute, it also made Bai Jun feel even more strange.

"That's all for today, Bai Jun. I, I have to go back and feed the little ones at home. See you next time~" Ye Lina waved to Bai Jun, then trotted away with Zhang Zhang in her arms.

"Goodbye."

Standing at the door of the restaurant, Bai Jun touched his chin and looked at Ye Lina's panicked back with a subtle expression.

This girl is silly but cute...

Ye Lina's heart was beating so fast as to jump out of her chest as she hurried across the street. The contents of the notebook were still vivid in her mind. Whenever she wanted to forget them, they would appear before her eyes.
