The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 39: Grand Prize and Finale Performance
The leaders decided temporarily to award Ling Chengyan, the first ’Three-time Champion’, a special prize—a bicycle, in addition to the originally planned radio.
The value definitely exceeds the previous three radios. The key point is that a bicycle is incredibly useful. With it, Ling Chengyan can travel to the commune and the county much more easily.
Ling Chengyan truly liked these two prizes and rare smiles appeared on her face while receiving them.
Wu Qingyun whispered from below the stage, "She is genuinely happy."
Zhang Wanxiang clapped enthusiastically and glanced at Wu Qingyun indifferently, "If you were in her place, wouldn’t you be happy?"
Wu Qingyun didn’t say anything but indeed imagined himself winning the championship, and he would have been silly excited long before going on stage! Unlike Ling Chengyan, who stayed calm and indifferent.
Zhang Yuyan and Li Huaihua also clapped vigorously. Li Huaihua had just been informed that the top five would have the opportunity to participate in a regional competition. Her fighting spirit reignited. The reason she didn’t make it into the top three this time was due to a short training period. She is confident that her results can improve with training.
After the award ceremony, the closing performance began.
The first program featured the county kindergarten children performing a dance, each three or four-year-old dressed as little militia, practicing grenade throws, and mimicking assassination and shooting with toy guns...
The clumsy appearance and the children’s serious expressions became the biggest highlights and jokes, causing bursts of laughter throughout the crowd.
The second program was a chorus by the county primary school students, singing "Song of the Guerillas". The seven or eight-year-old singing earnestly and well, received rounds of applause.
The last program was the cavalry march performed by a student military band.
The biggest highlight was at the end when two teams of cavalry raced in from both sides, horses’ hooves flying while running two laps around the field, then simultaneously shot while passing through the center!
To showcase their shooting skills, they aimed at small targets, staggered without fixed bases; once hit, the targets would fall.
Bang bang bang—gunshots sounded, targets fell one after another, a truly impressive scene!
The audience stood up excitedly clapping, applause like tidal waves, like spring thunder. The cavalry finished shooting and looped around the field, applause still ongoing.
Zhang Hanchao explained through the loudspeaker, "Thanks to the soldiers of the military district’s cavalry company for demonstrating the cavalry shooting, they are indeed sharpshooters!"
The cavalry company soldiers stepped forward with their horses, saluting eloquently from horseback.
After the soldiers exited, only one horse remained with a person sitting on it—a young beautiful female militia, the three-time champion of this county’s competition: Ling Chengyan.
Zhang Hanchao held a sheet of paper, excitedly announcing through the loudspeaker: "Ling Chengyan’s shooting results have just reached my hands, don’t you all want to know how many targets she hit in the cavalry shooting?"
"Yes!" shouted the crowd in unison.
Zhang Hanchao waved the piece of paper and smiled, "Let me clarify, the gun and ammunition Ling Chengyan used are different from those used by the cavalry company, so we have no way to know the cavalry company’s results, we can only count Ling Chengyan’s individual achievement."
After piquing the audience’s curiosity, Zhang Hanchao finally announced: "Ling Chengyan shot a total of ten bullets, scoring ten direct hits!"
Applause broke out.
Zhang Hanchao paused, waiting for the applause to die down, then continued: "Ten shots, ten direct hits, with two scoring nine points, and eight scoring ten points, Ling Chengyan’s total cavalry shooting score: ninety-eight points!"
Thunderous applause erupted, accompanied by cheers and shouts, echoing into the sky.
Director Jin chuckled quietly to the person beside him, "Lucky that it’s at an outdoor training ground, if it were in the big hall, the roof would have been blown off."
Ling Chengyan rode her horse a half lap, waving and greeting everyone, then exited the stage without a second thought.
As the county competition concluded, the audience gradually dispersed. The leaders convened the participants from each commune for a group photo. Ling Chengyan and all award-winning contestants were placed at the center spot behind the leaders.
Ling Chengyan looked somewhat shyly at the camera ahead, covered with a black cloth, the photographer ducking under the cloth, squeezing a bulb: "One, two, three... smile!"
Ling Chengyan subconsciously curled her lips, then saw the photographer emerge from the black cloth grinning a mouthful of white teeth, "All done, all done!"
"Is it over already?"
"I might have closed my eyes just now..."
Various discussions arose around her, and this time, Ling Chengyan couldn’t help but smile. It turned out she wasn’t the only one taking a photo for the first time, so many people felt confused and nervous.
The group dispersed, and Wu Xiangyang loudly called, "Taiping Commune, gather."
He specifically smiled at Ling Chengyan, "Ling Chengyan’s bicycle and radio, I’ve already had Clerk Li help pick them up, they’re loaded on the car."
"Wow, Ling Chengyan got two big prizes at once, that’s amazing!"
"Ling Chengyan, you’re incredible. I’d like to learn some shooting skills from you. When would it be convenient to visit you?"
A crowd gathered, chattering enthusiastically, and Ling Chengyan was somewhat surprised that more than one person wanted to learn techniques from her, including shooting, throwing, and assassinating... Moreover, most were young male militia.
Competitions never daunted Ling Chengyan, but facing such a chaotic scene, she was a bit surprised, not knowing how to handle it.
According to her nature, she would turn and leave, not bothering to say a word.
But this wasn’t Great Qi, and she was no longer the once General Ling; she was Ling Chengyan, an ordinary person.
Thankfully, Commissar Xu Dong stepped forward, blocking the crowd’s enthusiasm, "Ling Chengyan, Captain Zhang has something to convey to you."
Ling Chengyan took the opportunity to slip away, slightly surprised to see Zhang Hanchao actually standing outside the crowd, smiling immediately as she came out, "Shocked by everyone’s enthusiasm?"
Ling Chengyan grinned, "A bit unexpectedly."
Zhang Hanchao laughed heartily, turned and led Ling Chengyan away, "Ling Chengyan’s skills not only astonished the audience but greatly impressed the leaders as well."
Ling Chengyan smiled slightly, said nothing, just listening to what he had to say next.
Zhang Hanchao looked down at Ling Chengyan, smiling, "With your tactical skill level, any unit knowing it would want you desperately. However..."
