Chapter 490: Hard to Get Chosen
“What do you know?”
Chu Lian rolled her eyes. “You’re such a simpleton. Do you think they will transfer us like this? They are recruiting in our school now, but I heard that the Haihe Military University is recruiting as well. Let’s not talk about the National Defense University, which is not on the same level as us, but I think that transferring over will bring about other opportunities. ‘Signallers’ is just a facade. Do you think they are so desperate to choose students? For them to start the training from year one, there possibly is a hidden meaning!”
Her words brought some clarity to Gu Qingjiu.
Chu Lian thought and understood more than others. It was evident from the way she teased Gu Qingjiu about her boyfriend.
Hence, she probably had guessed a secret that others haven’t.
Gu Qingjiu surreptitiously looked at Qi Xiaoran.
As expected, even Qi Xiaoran was looking at Chu Lian in surprise.
That meant that Qi Xiaoran knew something.
It tickled Gu Qingjiu’s heart.
Did this group of soldiers hold another secret?
How frustrating! Why was her stamina this bad!
She wanted to take a look.
But most importantly, she was a member of the shooting department. It was indeed not quite possible for her to join.
“Is that the case?”
Gu Qian seemed to understand a little.
But she was still perplexed. “But the conditions at the border are so poor that I wouldn’t be able to stand it. My parents are still waiting for me to get deployed to somewhere near the capital so that they can enjoy the good fortune.”
Chu Lian rolled her eyes. “Weak!”
Gu Qian huffed and turned to look at Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, did you sign up?”
“I...”
Gu Qingjiu smiled. Just when she was about to answer, Chu Lian butted in. “Qianqian, are you silly? Qingjiu has such great talent for shooting. The shooting department wants to keep her, so why would they want her to sign up for this? We can’t compare her future to us!”
She said it in a calm tone and without any other meanings. It was as if reciting the simple truth.
“That’s not the case. If I didn’t enter the Shooting Department, I would want to sign up.” She laughed bitterly and continued, “But the commanding officer told me that being in the shooting department was not the only reason. He said that with my stamina, I wouldn’t be able to catch up with the training of special troops.”
“Special troops?”
Chu Lian didn’t expect Gu Qingjiu to reveal such news. She clapped her hands. “I knew there was something weird about this. Why would normal signallers be at the standard of specialized troops? No wonder they needed to train starting year one, and Xiaoran’s commanding officer recommended her to go! There is something else. I must secure a slot among the hundred!”
Chu Lian’s image did not coincide with that of a female soldier, but her skills were not bad.
Qi Xiaoran pursed her lips. “Qingjiu, your commanding officer told you that?”
Hearing Qi Xiaoran’s question, something flashed across Gu Qingjiu’s mind, but her expression didn’t change as she nodded. “Yes, my Commanding Officer told me.”
“Aiyah, then I’ve missed out on a good chance.”
Hearing Chu Lian’s explanation, Gu Qian finally felt uneasy. “Did I miss out on a great opportunity?”
“Don’t think so.”
Chu Lian doused her in cold water. “With your results, it would be quite difficult to get in. There were quite a lot of sign-ups.”
