《Can’t Take My Eyes Off You》Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"You missed a few. Professor Xingzhi also taught me observation and evaluation." Jiang Yao smiled lightly. If Lu Xingzhi had not taught her so much, she might not have had the confidence to participate in those tests that day.
After all, the superpowers bestowed upon her by the system were not always omnipotent. It would not demonstrate how exceptional she was if she did not have some ability and had to rely solely on the superpowers from the system.
"I did not think Xingzhi would teach you that." Colonel Lin was taken aback and teased her. "Is he training his preferred partner ahead of time?"
Of course, that was just Colonel Lin's joke. He knew what Lu Xingzhi had taught Jiang Yao because he wanted her to be able to protect herself.
Any professional soldier, especially one as dangerous and exceptional as Lu Xingzhi, had a swarm of hidden foes. As a result, the greater Jiang Yao's capacity to defend herself, the more confident Lu Xingzhi would be.
"The marksmanship test will be held at the Police Crime Squad's shooting room. Please follow me." Colonel Lin rose to his feet and pointed to the long corridor ahead of him. "That way, you will only join the second round if you pass the marksmanship test."
"The test for marksmanship will be held in the shooting room of the Police Crime Squad. Follow me. " Colonel Lin stood up and pointed at the long corridor in front of him. "This way. You will only be able to participate in the second round if you pass the marksmanship test."
Jiang Yao was not worried about marksmanship at all. She was Lu Xingzhi's disciple, and he had taught her everything.
Perhaps it was because it was still early, or maybe it was because the police squad had specially instructed her, when Jiang Yao entered the shooting room, there was no one inside.

Colonel Lin entered and motioned to one of the spots for Jiang Yao to stand and prepare.
Jiang Yao smiled as she stared at the fragmented bullets on the plate. It appeared that assembling the pistol was also part of the assessment.
She did not say much to Colonel Lin. She lowered her head and rapidly reassembled the gun's scattered parts. Within a minute, a fully loaded revolver materialized in front of her.
Before she could get used to the pistol in her grasp, she was interrupted by Colonel Lin's remarks. "Begin the assessment. The first round of mobile frisbees is underway."
Three frisbees flew out from three meters away in the next second. The frisbees twirled in the air, giving Jiang Yao no time to react. Then, three bullets struck the three frisbees, forcing them to tumble to the ground.
"Beautiful!" Colonel Lin lauded. "Very few targets remain still in an accident. As a qualified partner, we must retain responsiveness and agility."
A hot-blooded feeling rushed into Jiang Yao's heart like the three bullets would have done.
She could feel the sense of honor and responsibility as a soldier in Colonel Lin's commentary.
That round did not only put Jiang Yao's marksmanship to the test but also her capacity to adjust drastically.
Colonel Lin purposefully chatted with Jiang Yao before abruptly interrupting the second round of the marksmanship test.
The flying saucers for that round were smaller, faster, and more numerous than the first.
Even though Jiang Yao had already reloaded her ammunition, that was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She had been conversing with Colonel Lin, and she did not expect him to have such a ploy. Therefore her reaction was not as quick. She did, however, drop two flying saucers.
"Colonel Lin, who arranged this assessment?" Jiang Yao almost jumped out of her seat. A second before Colonel Lin opened his mouth to say that the second round was about to begin, he was still discussing Lu Xingzhi. That was clearly a deliberate attempt to distract her attention with conversations about people and things that interested her.
