[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Since you're just lying down to rest anyway, and you don't want to take up resources, you left the medical room.

After all, this is a temporary base, and the medical room is not large, which means that people come and go from time to time, and there is a shortage of beds.

It's not good for you to keep occupying the bed, and you'll feel more comfortable going back to your own dorm.

Besides, you're on your period, so you really want to take a shower and clean yourself up.

When I got back to the dorm it was almost noon. Blizzard and the others had all gone to training, so the dorm was empty.

Having been granted leave, you had nothing to do after taking a shower, so you went to the base's package pickup area to collect your package.

When I returned to the dorm with the package, my roommates had just finished lunch and were coming back.

But since you didn't see Blizzard and Vita, you could only ask the other people in the dorm where they were.

"Blizzard and Vita? They said they were going to visit you. I thought you would come back together."

"Oh my god, but I'm already back. They've probably made a wasted trip!"

Quickly take out your phone and text them both, telling them you're in your dorm right now.

Not long after, Blizzard rushed in.

"YN! How can you run around like that? If you're not feeling well, can't you just stay put?!"

Blizzard rarely wore a serious expression.

You quickly soothe her: "I felt much better before I left, and I also wanted to see you all. You have no idea how lonely it was to be there all alone..."

You're pretending to be wronged.

But she doesn't buy into that, and angrily sticks out her index finger to poke your forehead.

"Stop whining! I'm telling you, you can't do that again next time. If you're feeling unwell, just say so. Military training isn't child's play; things can really get serious!"

Knowing her concerns, you quickly nodded in agreement:

"Okay, okay, I promise! I definitely won't try to tough it out next time."

After you finish speaking, quickly change the subject.

He quickly pulled out a rectangular box from his pile of packages.

"Ta-da!! Look what this is!"

Blizzard took it and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Forgot she doesn't understand Chinese, you quickly explain:

"Hand cream! Didn't you guys say your hands got rough from training? So I bought this. You should try it."

Upon hearing this, Blizzard immediately opened the packaging, squeezed a little onto the back of his hand, spread it evenly, and then held it to his nose.

"It's moist but not greasy, and it has a light, pleasant fragrance, which I like."

You introduced with a smile: "This is a Chinese brand. It contains plant and medicinal ingredients that can repair the skin and have a light plant fragrance. This fragrance is said to have a calming effect."

As you were speaking, you took out several other hand creams and gave one to everyone else, showing that you were fair to everyone.

After all, the people here have all helped you to some extent, so you can't be biased towards one over the other.

Everyone else saw the other things on your bed, but only Blizzard asked about them.

"Were those things given to other people?"

You nodded: "Zimo and I are from the same hometown. He has helped me a lot, so I bought him some gifts as well."

Seeing that Blizzard's expression was starting to change again, you quickly explained:

"This is just a thank-you gift. Others have received similar gifts, including you. It's to express our gratitude for your care during this time."

When the others heard what you said, they all leaned over to speak.

"YN, you're too kind. There are very few women in our base, so helping each other is only right."

"Yes, you've helped us before. You even sewed my clothes for me last time."

A group of girls chatted for a while, then went to take a nap.

During the conversation, you also learned from them that it was Koenig who took you to the medical room.

You pick up a box and think to yourself: Luckily, when I bought it last time, I thought of Koenig and bought him a copy too. Now it comes in handy.

You pick up your phone and find Koenig's chat window.

[König, where are you?]

There was no reply for a long time, probably because they were busy. You weren't in a hurry, so you took a bunch of things and went to find Wang Zhiqiang.

The base's dormitories are all in one building, allocated from the lowest to the highest rank, with dormitories ranging from multiple people to four people, two people, and single people per room.

Wang Zhiqiang's room was on the third floor, a two-person dormitory.

Although men and women can move freely between the dormitories inside the base, they generally still pay attention to the difference between men and women and avoid each other.

So when you carry a bunch of things upstairs, it's inevitable that many male soldiers will look over curiously.

When you arrived at Wang Zhiqiang's door, you were still a little nervous, after all, it was your first time going to his dormitory to find him.

Since your hands were full of things, you kicked the door with your foot.

The door opened after a short while, but it wasn't Wang Zhiqiang; it was Hu.

"yn? You're looking for Zimo?"

You nod: "Is he there?"

Tiger immediately stepped aside and invited you inside.

"I'm going to the toilet, come in first."

You smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, and then tried to make conversation:

"I never expected you two would be in the same dorm room. What a coincidence!"

Tiger replied, "Perhaps they grouped us together because we're both Asian."

As he spoke, he pulled up a chair for you and gestured for you to sit down.

And just as you sit down, the bathroom door clicks open.

Then there was... a scene of Wang Zhiqiang shirtless, complaining all the while.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter; I wonder if the base will install air conditioning..."

He suddenly stopped speaking, looked at you incredulously, and then quickly covered his chest with both hands.

He turned and roared at Tiger, "Damn it! How could you just let her in like that without saying anything beforehand!"

Tiger shrugged: "The situation was sudden, I forgot."

Perhaps because you're too familiar with him, you don't feel shy at all; instead, you tease him.

"Wow, you've got a great figure!"

The lines are distinct and strong without being overly exaggerated, and the color is a healthy light bronze...

Wang Zhiqiang glared at you: "Shut up!"

After saying that, he quickly grabbed a piece of clothing from the hanger and put it on.

Tiger, standing nearby, weakly spoke up: "Hey, bro, those are my clothes..."

Wang Zhiqiang said bluntly, "This is your compensation!"

After he put on his clothes, he sat down on the bed next to you, but he was too embarrassed to make eye contact with you.

"Hey sis, what brings you here... cough, what's up?"

You stand up, walk up to him, and stuff everything in your arms into his arms.

"Giving back to your parents".

He replied as he answered, "Feeding is feeding, not feeding back. It's like you're my child."

Then he picked up one of the bags, his eyes shining with joy.

"Fried cakes, I love these so much, you have a great eye for choosing, girl."

You know he's deliberately giving you emotional feedback, since he can buy these things himself, and ultimately, packaged food can never taste as good as freshly made food.

You smiled and said, "I didn't know what you needed, so I bought some Tianjin specialties. I don't know if you'll like them, but... I believe you've felt my sincerity."

Wang Zhiqiang nodded repeatedly: "I felt it, I felt it, the weight of your heart!"

You glanced at the pile of food and said a little embarrassedly, "I was so focused on buying things that I didn't realize there was so much. Can you finish it all?"

Wang Zhiqiang waved his hand and said, "It's alright, I'm not fighting alone."

Then he casually picked up a bag of snacks and waved it at the tiger opposite him.

"Hey, Tiger, want some?"

You only feel a gust of wind sweep by, and the snacks in Wang Zhiqiang's hand are gone.

Then came Tiger's hearty voice: "Good brother!"

Chapter 21: I'm just an ordinary person.

After leaving Wang Zhiqiang's place, you didn't go straight back to your dormitory; instead, you turned around.

You've rested well and want to get back to training as soon as possible, so you need to tell Ghost and give him the tea.

dong dong!

You knock on his office door, and it takes a while before you hear that deep voice from inside.

"Who?"

You frowned, sensing something was off, but still immediately spoke up to answer.

"Lieutenant, this is YN."

There was another few seconds of pause before they continued.

"Come in."
