All of those inside were officials, and most of them could restrain themselves pretty well.
Hence the atmosphere was solemn, and the air of officialdom was intense.
This affected Gu Qingjiu’s mood in viewing the competition.
It was why she had felt the competition felt dull.
Only the players themselves could understand just how exhilarating the competition was.
“It’ll be your turn to perform three years later. I have confidence in you. Three years later, I hope you can join hands with Yin Ruoyi and create a miracle. I’m already delighted with Yin Ruoyi’s performance this time.”
It baffled Gu Qingjiu. “The difference in points isn’t that great. Do you not have confidence in Yin Ruoyi, Chairman Song?”
Cruff let out a bitter laugh. “Of course, I have confidence in him. But the nearer the competition approaches the end, the more alert will the countries ranked ahead be, making it increasingly difficult to gain points. As for the countries ranked towards the back, they would launch aggressive attacks. Even Cruff couldn’t ensure he can get a lot of points in such a situation. In the second half of the game, even he would sometimes just gain one point. At times like this, all the more they ought to opt for self-preservation. If a player accidentally gets eliminated, the person who eliminated that player will receive half of their accumulated points. This isn’t an ending that they can endure.”
Chairman Song’s words made Gu Qingjiu furrow her brows slightly.
It seemed like China had always played a conservative strategy.
After obtaining sufficient advantage, they ought to carefully protect themselves.
This was, of course, what was most important. But did that mean they should stop attacking altogether?
Although Gu Qingjiu wasn’t in the game, she couldn’t help but wonder what she would do if she were there and in the lead.
Perhaps because Chairman Song could tell that Gu Qingjiu was in deep thought, Chairman Song asked, “If you’re in the game and you’re in the lead, what would you do?”
Gu Qingjiu gave it some thought but didn’t give a definite answer. “Depends on the situation.”
She could attack or play defence.
All this was empty talk before she participated in the competition.
But in her heart, Gu Qingjiu was perhaps more inclined towards… attacking?
Chairman Song didn’t continue discussing this. He merely patted Gu Qingjiu’s shoulder and said, “You don’t have to fret over this for now. There are still three more years for you to prepare. Learn well from Elder Gong. Win the local shooting competition in October first.”
“Mm.”
After this conversation with Chairman Song, Gu Qingjiu returned to the viewing room once again.
Just as Chairman Song had predicted, subsequently the countries ranked bottom started launching aggressive attacks.
When facing countries with high points, so long as they eliminated the person with the highest points, they could get half their points. Wasn’t this a guaranteed good deal?
But the players ranked ahead weren’t goons either. Naturally, they would be more cautious in concealing themselves.
Just Cruff alone carried 14 points from the US. Eliminating him would mean gaining half of that, which is 7 points.
Yin Ruoyi alone carried 12 points.
Twelve points.
That was merely two points lesser than Cruff on an individual basis.
Such a result shocked many people.
After all, this was Yin Ruoyi’s first appearance on the international battlefield, and his performance was sufficiently outstanding.
The only regretful thing is, Yin Ruoyi had yet to counter Cruff head-on.
The intense battle between the two that others imagined had yet to appear.
But judging based on the live situation, what Cruff was powerful at was his ability to hide.
He was just like a chameleon who conceals himself well in his surroundings. He deals the opponent with a fatal blow when the latter isn’t looking.
It was very rare for players to find Cruff in where he is hiding.
On the other hand, Yin Ruoyi launched aggressive attacks, and his responses were top-notch.
These two players displayed two extreme styles.
