Girls und War

As expected, I failed again...

After arriving at the cafeteria, Xia Shu ordered a fried rice set meal. Seeing this, Simon canceled his fried rice set meal and replaced it with a pizza set meal.

And asked Xia Shu what flavor of pizza he liked.

How could Xia Shu understand why she would ask him what he liked? Shouldn't he just eat whatever he wanted?

So I just said one.

Once the two of them sat down at their seats in the restaurant, Simon showed an expectant expression again.

Although he didn't know what she was expecting, Xia Shu didn't want to disappoint her, so he made a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

I learned this joke from Smiley Face.

But Simon showed a clear expression of disappointment and laughed three times in a very deliberate and artificial way.

Xia Shu felt like she was talking to a ghost doll in a horror movie, because Simon's behavior was both human and not human, which gave her a strange uncanny valley effect.

"Um...can you stop for a moment?" Xia Shu said weakly.

"What's wrong?" Simon asked cautiously, "Is there something about me that makes you dissatisfied?"

As she spoke, she made a gesture to bow again, "If I have done anything wrong, I sincerely apologize to you..."

"No, no, no." Xia Shu quickly reached out to stop her and continued, "I'm a little confused now, you..."

Xia Shu felt that the next words would be a bit harsh, but their relationship was not that good, and she was afraid that the words would be hurtful.

So I could only say politely, "...I'm not used to you being like this."

"Then...what should I do?" Simon asked anxiously.

"You should be like this normally, that's how you are now." Xia Shu thought to himself, isn't it normal during the competition?

"What's your usual look like?"

"Yeah. Just like interacting with people normally."

When Simon heard this, he immediately looked at a loss.

Because she has no idea what it's like to communicate with people normally.

She has no experience in this area.

And if she does nothing, the other party will slowly ignore her or even forget her existence.

This is a lesson learned through blood and tears.

Seeing Simon like this, Xia Shu hesitated for a moment, but still asked a question that if it was Haruka, she would never ask, "Do you... have no friends?"

No friends?

Have friends?

friend?

friend?

These four words exploded in her ears, as if they revealed the tragedy of her life for the past twenty-seven years.

Simon nodded tearfully.

Seeing this, Xia Shu fell silent.

No wonder this girl is so serious and works so hard when it comes to serious relationships.

In love, we are afraid that if we are not careful, we will lose the rare opportunity to make friends.

However, this strange concept is probably not something that can be easily developed.

So Xia Shu asked again, "Have you always been like this? I mean when you're interacting with people."

Simon nodded again, looking as if he was lucky to have such a close friend in life.

Xia Shu was speechless for a moment.

Silence soon enveloped this small corner of the restaurant.

571. Lilith, the eternal God!

Although Xia Shu knew the problem Simon was facing, she didn't have any good solutions.

This isn't just a matter of verbally agreeing to be friends with her.

This is related to whether Simone can have a good attitude towards life in her future life, and it is related to her future outlook on life and the realization of her personal values.

It's not like in the toilet paper light novels, where they just say a few words and start a harem and then leave it alone.

How can real interpersonal communication be that simple?

If Xia Shu could simply solve this problem, which Simon's previous life coaches had tried every possible way to solve, she could become a psychiatrist.

To be frank, Simon's problem wasn't simply that he couldn't make friends, but rather a silent social dysfunction.

Her low sense of presence and her anxious "over-effort" in interpersonal interactions also stem from this.

This is an instinctive self-protection behavior. Even if we know the reason, there is no good solution.

All Xia Shu could do was to give her a friend status and offer her some words of comfort.

But even with this, Simon showed great joy with tears in his eyes.

After returning to the dormitory, Xia Shu also told Haruka about Simon's situation.

Haruka had never known Simon in depth before, but after hearing Xia Shu's description, she expressed great sympathy for her.

However, all she could do was to report Simon's situation to the military psychological counseling department to which she belonged.

As for what kind of solution the other side will give, it is not something she can decide.

After all, there are so many unfortunate people in this world. If she had to feel sorry for every one of them, she would have nothing to do all day long.

After that, it was the ultra-long-range sniper competition the next day.

At this point in the competition, the rankings have almost been determined.

Xia Shu is already a definite number one.

Her points are much higher than the Rabbit God's, and it is not a situation that can be easily overturned.

At this rate, unless she gave up directly in the last event, she would not be pulled down from the throne by the little rabbit even if she played casually for fun.

This is absolute power!

At the same time, Rabbit God also widened the gap with the third place.

This score gap is also not something that can be easily overcome, so the first and second place positions are almost determined.

The third and fourth places are still controversial.

That is the relationship between Chunxiang and Simon.

Although Simon is still ahead of Chunxiang, the difference between the two is only about ten points.

Maybe in the next event, or in the subsequent actual competition, the score difference will be reversed.

As for the rankings of the others, they remain unknown until the competition is completely over, so I won't elaborate on them here.

Let’s talk about ultra-long-range sniping.

As we all know, ultra-long-range sniping is a very difficult sniping method.

When the distance between the sniper and the target exceeds one thousand meters, it is difficult to hit the target accurately by aiming alone.

Those front-line battle reports about killing the enemy with a single precise shot are all exaggerated by tabloid reporters.

In fact, the sniper's shooting may have lasted for more than ten minutes, and he fired several magazines of bullets to ensure a hit.

But that's definitely not the way to put it. If the battle report said that we fired seventeen bullets and finally killed the enemy, that would be so boring.

Military fans don't really care about these details; they just watch for fun. The real details are left to the snipers themselves.

If you want to ensure a higher hit rate, more skills are required.

Factors like the spin deviation of the bullet, the influence of humidity and temperature in the air, the influence of wind speed and direction, and more specifically, the rotation speed of the earth are all important.

Generally, before carrying out a mission, snipers or observers will calculate the specific shooting parameters.

For example, there are shooting formulas for 500 meters and 2,000 meters.

After discovering the target, the sniper only needs to ask, and the observer can calculate the aiming angle by applying the environmental parameters at that time to the shooting formula.

However, snipers participating in the competition do not need to calculate these parameter formulas themselves.

The organizer will give the formula sheet to the sniper in advance.

When playing the game, they just have to apply the data.

Xia Shu is also good at this.

Although she usually leaves this task to Junco when she's on the Imaginary Battlefield, she's quite capable when it comes to doing it herself.

After the parameters are calculated, snipers can start test shooting at the target.

The hit rate of the first few bullets is very low because there are many factors that affect the accuracy of shooting.

For example, the influence of airflow, nearby magnetic fields, or the craftsmanship of the bullet, etc.

What a sniper has to do is to use the test shooting data to continuously calibrate so that the bullet gets closer and closer to the target.

Even with perfect calibration, there's still some element of luck involved in whether a shot hits the target.

If you are unlucky and the target moves, or the opponent realizes that he is being sniped and changes position, the bullet will most likely miss.

Therefore, when the distance reaches a certain point, the sniper's shooting will not be so dangerous for those soldiers with anti-sniper capabilities.

After all, it takes at least several seconds for a bullet to fly two or three kilometers.

As long as a pig wants to avoid bullets, it can run five or six meters away.

Not to mention the elite personnel.

The ultra-long-range sniping missions carried out by snipers are generally carried out with the assistance of friendly vanguards.

The best time for them to perform is after they have pushed the enemy into a small, narrow shelter where they cannot move.

In addition, although ultra-long-range sniping involves a large element of luck, the rules of this event are relatively fair.

The sniper target is not scored by one shot, but there are several long-range sniper targets designed with different distances and conditions.

The bullet's hit rate and the sniper's shooting performance are both counted as points.

The competition was very intense, but because it was extremely long and the situation was complicated, I will not go into details here.

Meanwhile, Natsuki's luck wasn't great either. During this competition, several bullets that should have hit the target were deflected for various reasons.

However, her preliminary calibration shooting requires a relatively low frequency of shooting, usually only about three to four rounds, so the score obtained is relatively high.

The final ranking was also determined to be sixth.

The first place winner was the strange vampire Miss Lilith.

This person's luck seemed to be off the charts. Several of his bullets hit the target directly after the calibration shooting.

There was also a round of shooting that was particularly magical. The first bullet hit the target directly and got a full score for that target.

So Lilith once again became the "eternal god" of this competition.

572. Lie down now, I'll do it

After the sniper skills competition ended, the first half of the month's competition came to an end.

The competition lasted sixteen days and generated countless discussions. Many people who had never heard of military competition before also brushed up on their basic military knowledge after watching the competition.

Many people have even become loyal fans of the major ace players.

It is not yet known whether the recruitment departments in various war zones can use this to increase the recruitment rate.

However, judging from the current situation, the public's recognition of the military department has been effectively improved.
