My military function points

Chapter 367 Hypnotic Skill Upgrade!
Considering that most of the hunters had just returned from Africa, the entire base was given two days off to allow the soldiers to handle their personal affairs.

Some wounded soldiers should go to the military hospital to stay in the hospital, and those who are eligible should take leave to visit their families.

Ma Shouliang went back to get engaged, and Chen Rong and the other team members naturally went along to celebrate, since Zhang Juanjuan's home was close to Shennongjia anyway.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Rong took Chen Ai, Li Daolai, and Qi Tian to the Martyrs' Cemetery in the suburbs of Jiangcheng to pay tribute to his father.

Deep within the cemetery, a group of people were sweeping and cleaning in front of two newly erected tombstones. The graves of Chen Mingshui and Honey Badger were side by side, neither of which had a photograph on them.

The little monkey thoughtfully helped Li Daolai place tangerines in front of Chen Mingshui's grave, while Qi Tian poured wine in front of the honey badger's grave.

"The captain didn't drink alcohol, and his favorite food was oranges."

Li Daolai's casual remark brought tears to Chen Ai's eyes.

Chen Rong was overwhelmed with emotions and remained silent as he looked at the tombstone.

In his memories of this life, he had never met his father, and only later did he learn that his father had sacrificed himself when he was just over one year old.

Calculating the time, my father was only in his early twenties at that time, leading a group of brothers who shared life and death to carry out the most dangerous missions entrusted to him by the motherland.

However, unlike his own country, China was not strong at that time, and was even in the midst of a war with its neighbors, so the pressure it faced must have been much greater.

Looking back now, I realize that I benefited greatly from my father's legacy.

Chen Rong had long since let go of the hardships he suffered in his childhood.

After entering the cemetery, both the little black dog and the little golden eagle became unusually solemn, as they, having gained intelligence, naturally knew where they were.

Li Daolai and Qi Tian raised their wine glasses and sat in front of the tombstone, quietly recounting what happened back then.

This time, Chen Ai did not stop Li Daolai from drinking, and she was already sobbing uncontrollably when she heard about Chen Mingshui's sacrifice.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Qi, why didn't my dad leave behind even a single photo?"

"Sigh, things were too complicated back then. At that time, General Xu was directing operations in Laoshan, while we had just returned from the Russian side..."

"What bear? Back then they were called SL."

Qi Tian corrected, "At that time, our Class A troops were all on high alert in the north. If it weren't for SL's support, would South Vietnam have dared to act so recklessly?"

Hearing this, Chen Rong also became interested. He first comforted Chen Ai, saying, "Sister, I saw a photo of Father at the underground base in Sakura last time. The CIA must have one too. We can ask them for it later."

Then, Chen Rong sat down in front of the tombstone and asked curiously, "Uncle Li, Uncle Qi, the relationship between the Russian bear and the Southern Yue is quite good now. What happened back then?"

"Hehe, what do you think we went to Russia for back then? It was to help Kujing take over, right? That way, everything else would fall into place naturally, wouldn't it?"

Li Daolai became interested and downed the wine in one gulp. The little monkey immediately poured him another cup, holding the bottle.

"Speaking of which, the captain and Ku Jing were really close back then. Ku Jing had a younger sister who was even prettier than Sophia... If the captain hadn't known your mom first, you probably wouldn't have stood a chance!"

Chen Ai glared at Li Daolai and snatched the wine bottle from the little monkey's hand.

"Xiao Ai, what are you doing with the bottle? If you don't let the guard dog drink, the honey badger and I still want to drink!" Qi Tian immediately became anxious.

Upon hearing about his mother, Chen Rong quickly took the wine bottle from Chen Ai and poured some for Qi Tian: "Uncle Qi, what kind of person is my mother?"

"My sister-in-law is amazing!"

Li Daolai and Qi Tian both gave a thumbs up, praising him in unison.

"You've all seen Green Snake, right? She's a real tyrant in our team, she doesn't respect anyone except the captain, but the moment she sees my sister-in-law, she becomes as obedient as a model student!"

"Actually, we all know that Green Snake has feelings for the captain, but as long as his wife is around, hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ai clenched her fist and snorted, "I want to become a fierce and tough woman like my mother!"

Chen Rong: "..."

"Hahaha!"

Qi Tian and Li Daolai laughed heartily. Li Daolai seemed to have drunk a bit too much, and he lay down in front of the tombstone while holding a bottle of wine: "Xiao Ai is not fully recovered yet, and it's getting dark. Xiao Rong, why don't you take her back to the hotel!"

"And what about you?" Chen Rong asked.

Qi Tian laughed, slurring his words, "We'll keep watch for the captain and the honey badger! Let's hurry back, we still have so much to talk about!"

Chen Rong wanted to say something, but Chen Ai tugged at his sleeve, nodded, waved to call the hawk and hound team over, and instructed them to take good care of things here. Then Chen Ai took Chen Rong back first.

He is now the captain of the hunter squad, and one can imagine how deep the camaraderie among these people was back then.

Since they want to catch up, let's not disturb them!

. . .

. . .

After the holiday, the hunter team resumed their normal life and training.

Since many people have been in Africa for more than a month, they have fallen behind in many subjects, so their schedules are very full until the end of the year.

The pace of the entire base suddenly became tense and fast, with everyone, including the hunter squad and the women's squad, undergoing a heavy training load every day.

Even Li Daolai has started training the little monkey in some professional military reconnaissance skills, hoping that Xiao Ke can become a formal member of the hunter team like Black Panther and Doll!
Everyone is very busy, except for Sun Tiantian.

Last time, Wolf King not only called Chen Rong, but also sent Xu Ke an email requesting assistance with the operation.

Therefore, Sun Tiantian's daily task now is to chat with Yui Yamagami on her phone, and she doesn't need to participate in training at all.

In Lu Senbao's words, this son of a bitch is now being ordered to flirt, and he's even getting government funding for it!

That makes sense. In order to better cultivate their relationship, Sun Tiantian and her target became partners in an FPS game and spent a lot of money on in-game purchases.

What's most infuriating is that Sun Tiantian not only doesn't participate in training every day, but she also insists on gathering with everyone else. Then, after everyone else starts practicing diligently, she sits to the side and leisurely plays on her phone.

The team members were so angry at this guy's obnoxious behavior that they wanted to rush up and beat him up immediately, and they protested to Chen Rong and Xu Ke more than once.

However, Sun Tiantian dismissed the team members' protest with just one sentence:
"I only feel good when I watch you train. Only when I feel good will that big G-cup woman feel good. Only when she feels good will she tell me the information she wants."

Whether Sun Tiantian was telling the truth or not, they chatted for about ten days and he actually managed to extract the information he wanted.

Yui Yamagami will arrive in Leh next weekend and has invited Sun Tiantian to travel there with her.

Chen Rong immediately relayed the intelligence to the Wolf King, while Sun Tiantian, citing military duties, continued to play cat and mouse with the other side.

The operation to capture Yu Chun on the mountain was handled by Tianlang, so Chen Rong didn't pay much attention to it after delivering the intelligence and focused on organizing the troops' training.

It's clear that Xu Ke is deliberately grooming Chen Rong. Now, Chen Rong and the three squadron leaders are taking turns managing almost everything, big and small, in the entire base.

Fulfilling days always pass quickly; in the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived.

The day after the soldiers changed into their spring and autumn uniforms, the military headquarters issued an order, and the atmosphere throughout the base immediately became joyful and excited.

Everyone knew that the time for recognition and awards had arrived!
It was another weekend, and Sun Tiantian still didn't agree to go to Leh City to meet up with Yamagami Yui, because the Hunter Team's commendation ceremony was being held today.

At 3 p.m. sharp, everyone gathered in the auditorium.

No one from the military came to the commendation ceremony. Given Xu Ke's style, he naturally wanted it to be as simple as possible. However, even so, it took almost ten minutes just to read out the list of those who had made meritorious contributions and received awards.

"The military's order came down. Isn't that a bit fast? To be honest, even I was a little surprised at how quickly it went this time. I called to ask and found out that the military was taking care of our hunter brigade this time, considering that some comrades were about to retire or transfer to civilian work, so they made special arrangements!"

Hearing Xu Ke's words, Chen Rong nodded secretly.

The order was indeed issued very quickly. The police hadn't even received the second-class merit award they promised him yet, but the military had already approved the application for an entire battalion.

"Now, on behalf of the military headquarters, I will convey the order for commendation and awards to the following units and individuals!"

"Hunter Brigade, First Company, Collective Second-Class Merit!" *Whoosh!*
Applause and cheers immediately filled the entire auditorium.

"Second Company of the Hunter Battalion, Collective Second-Class Merit!"

"Third Company of the Hunter Battalion, Collective Second-Class Merit!"

"Hunter Brigade and Hunter Squad, collective second-class merit!"

"The following comrades have been awarded the Third-Class Merit Citation: Qi Tian, ​​Zhang Siyuan, Zuo Meng, Yang Jinghua..."

"The following comrades have been awarded the Second Class Merit Citation: Chen Ai, Guo Lin, Li Daolai, Huo Jianhua..."

"The comrades who received commendations are..."

Snapped!
Xu Ke slammed the document on the table, let out a long sigh of relief, and finally finished reading it.

"Alright, let's skip the award ceremony. It's too much trouble. The squadron commanders will come to me later to collect their medals and bonuses!"

Xu Ke waved his hand and said, "Dismissed! Extra food tonight!"

boom!
The auditorium erupted in cheers once again.

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Chen Rong immediately opened the panel, and sure enough, the system's rewards had arrived.

. . .

. . .

Rank: Major

[Military Merits: Commendation x1, Third-Class Merit x11, Second-Class Merit x7, First-Class Merit x4, National Medal x6]

[Skill - Indestructible (Advanced)]

[Skill - One-Hit Kill (Beginner)]

[Skill - Rapid Healing (Advanced)]

[Skill - Hypnosis: Index 57]

[Host detected to have received a collective second-class merit award; rewarded with 25 free attribute points]

[Currently available free attribute points: 45]

Logically speaking, given what Chen Rong did in the East African rainforest, he should have been more than qualified for a collective second-class merit, or even an individual second-class merit, but he didn't seem to have any complaints about it.

In fact, Xu Ke had spoken to him privately a week earlier, so Chen Rong was already mentally prepared for this.

He had just received two first-class merit awards and the title of one of the top ten loyal guards, which means he had basically reached the pinnacle of all the honors he could achieve in his military career.

Other comrades needed the merit award more than him, after all, some veterans, like Liu Chuan before him, might be just one step away from staying in the army or being promoted.

Clearing his mind of all thoughts, Chen Rong began to consider the immediate matter at hand.

How should I spend the remaining 45 points?

"Should I upgrade either the basic skills 'One-Hit Kill' or 'Veteran Driver' to intermediate level first, or should I just max out the last skill, Hypnosis, which hasn't been upgraded yet?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Rong made a decision.

"Start adding points!"

[Skill - Friend or Foe Identification (Advanced)]

[Skill - Crisis Warning (Intermediate)]

[Skill - Beast Transformation (Advanced)]

[Skill - Beidou Positioning (Advanced)]

.

.

.

[Skill - Hypnosis: Index 57→92]

[Currently available free attribute points: 10]

In the end, Chen Rong reserved 10 free attribute points for upgrading, and put all the rest into the hypnosis skill.

As for the reason, it was that he himself was very curious about what kind of new ability this hypnosis skill would become after the advancement, and whether it would also be a control-type divine skill.

Now that the decision has been made, the next step is simple: raise your hypnosis skill level to 99 as soon as possible.

After dinner, Chen Rong walked downstairs to the women's team's dormitory building with his hands behind his back.

"Greetings, King Yama!"

As soon as he got downstairs, several female soldiers passing by immediately stopped and saluted, their eyes sparkling as they looked at Chen Rong.

A major in his early twenties, the leader of the hunter squad, tall and handsome, such a heroic figure was already legendary in the army. Which female soldier wouldn't admire him?

Since the formation of the women's squad, in order to avoid suspicion, the male soldiers have basically not set foot here unless it is for work purposes. At this time, Chen Rong's arrival made the female soldiers very happy, and they all surrounded him at once.

"King Yama, what brings you here?"

"King Yama, I have a comrade who really admires you. He works in another unit. Could you sign a greeting card for me?"

"Hehe, King Yama, you're not here to inspect our internal affairs, are you?"

The female soldiers chattered excitedly, and some of the bolder ones even started making jokes.

Even Chen Rong, a seasoned warrior who had slain countless enemies on the battlefield, was momentarily disoriented. Fortunately, just as he was feeling somewhat lost, he spotted a familiar figure and quickly called out:
"Yang Jinghua! Come here for a moment, I need to talk to you!"

Yang Jinghua had overheard the female soldiers' jokes and knew that the King of Hell had probably come to her with serious business. She straightened her face and immediately dismissed the female soldiers who were gathered around her.

To be fair, Yang Jinghua, the temporary acting leader of the women's squad, was quite authoritative; with just a glance, the female soldiers immediately shrank back and ran away.

"What is it?" Yang Jinghua asked curiously after saluting Chen Rong.

"Let's go find a secluded place!" Chen Rong whispered.

Yang Jinghua was taken aback at first, then blushed and lowered her head, whispering, "King Yama, I...I..."

"what are you thinking?"

Chen Rong knew from her reaction that she had misunderstood, and said irritably, "I came to exchange hypnosis techniques with you!"
