[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Only then did you calm down and ask her, "Vita, we didn't have to hurt each other, why did you do this?"

Because of the fight just now, you are all in pain in many parts of your bodies, so you must be injured.

You don't understand why Vita is so stubborn when these things could have been avoided.

Even though you understand that the exercise is like a battlefield, she is still your friend, and you don't want her to get hurt.

Vita sat up and looked up at you, her eyes now clear and bright.

"To see just how capable you are, you newbie."

Blizzard, who was walking over from the side, interjected, "So, can you figure it out now?"

Vita nodded and replied with a smile, "I can see that; her ranking is well-deserved."

She has concluded that while your experience and abilities may not be very strong right now, your flexibility and adaptability are by no means ordinary.

Especially the technique you just used to flip and throw her—a perfect example of using lightness to overcome weight, but that's not part of your training. You always manage to find strange but effective shortcuts, and that's the kind of ability that impresses her the most.

Blizzard smiled too.

"Let's go then, you defeated opponent. According to the rules, you'll still be washing the clothes this time."

During the last exercise, they made a bet: whoever lost would wash the winner's combat uniform.

After a day of crawling and rolling, you can imagine how dirty the combat uniforms would be. Nobody wants to wash them after a long day, but they have no choice but to. That's why this bet came about.

You stand aside and watch them return to normal, not wanting to delve too deeply, but instead choosing to join them.

"Blizzard, I was the one who just rolled around fighting on the ground, so if anyone's going to wash, it's me."

Blizzard boldly declared: "Then add you to the list. You can wash both my and YN's combat suits. Vita, do you have any objections?"

Vita feigned a pitiful expression: "A defeated opponent has no right to express an opinion."

Blizzard snapped its fingers and smiled at you, saying, "Then it's decided!"

The exercise is over, and you all need to return to the training plaza to assemble.

Ghost stood with his hands behind his back, with Wang Zhiqiang, Farah, and a few others behind him.

After making eye contact with you, Wang Zhiqiang secretly gave you a thumbs-up as a sign of praise.

You feel instantly awkward. Doesn't his statement imply that they all watched the entire exercise?

After a slight embarrassment came a sense of joy; thankfully, I hadn't performed poorly this time.

Thinking of this, you winked at Wang Zhiqiang in response.

You look at Farah, and you see her looking down at her phone, not knowing what she's doing.

Then you look at Koenig in the far corner and your eyes meet his. Has he been looking this way the whole time?

You slightly raise your chin at him, revealing a faint smile, looking smug.

So, how was my performance?

But he lowered his eyes and avoided your gaze.

You wonder: What's wrong with him? Is he unhappy? Or is he embarrassed or awkward?

As you frowned slightly, trying to guess what he was thinking, you saw him look up at you again, secretly giving you a thumbs-up with his left hand.

He looked like he was secretly passing cheat sheets.

You suppressed a laugh and quickly ran over to join the queue.

Once the ranks are in order, the ghost in front will face you and speak.

"Soldiers, I have seen your performance in these two exercises."

"Whether you performed well or poorly, your basic training at the base has now ended."

"Later, we will assign you primary and secondary positions based on your grades and daily performance, and then arrange targeted training for your job categories."

What you've been learning during this time is just a soldier's basic combat skills.

After completing basic training, they will assign suitable job categories based on the soldiers' performance and psychological analysis, and further divide them into primary and secondary positions.

Your primary role refers to your main area of ​​development later on, while your secondary role is technical or military service.

Later promotions will require a combination of both factors for evaluation.

The main roles are divided into three categories: assault, sniping, and demolition.

As the vanguard, the assault team needs to learn various combat techniques and operational languages ​​to conduct direct firefights and penetrate deep into enemy territory.

Snipers provide rear-line firepower, not only needing to eliminate important targets and destroy key facilities, but also providing firepower and reconnaissance for assault troops and carrying out various assigned tasks.

Demolition is a combat support role, in charge of all explosive weapons, providing ground and air firepower, and also responsible for clearing and setting up fire obstacles for assault troops.

Support roles are logistical tasks required during combat, such as medical care, supplies, networking, transportation, and even maintenance.

Generally speaking, you should only have one primary job, while you can choose secondary jobs that you are good at, or even choose several.

That would be too tiring, so most people choose a side job, since taking on more jobs and learning more doesn't increase their salary.

After the ghost finished speaking, you started to wonder what main job you would be assigned.

After the ghost finished speaking, it took two steps back and let Soap step forward.

He clapped his hands and said, "First of all, congratulations on completing your basic training. You've worked hard during this time. I have some good news for you."

"Captain Price has granted everyone three days off to hold a celebration for you all. Are you happy?"

Upon hearing this, the male soldiers cheered and immediately began asking what they could do, including what to eat, what to do, and even how much the budget was.

Soap was very patient and answered them one by one.

You female soldiers have no questions, but you're also very happy that you can finally rest for a few days.

Chapter 28: Group Costume Change!

Despite calling it a celebration, no matter how much they discussed, the end result was still drinking.

Since they couldn't leave the base, the food was so-so, and they couldn't do anything too outrageous. So they eventually discovered that the most exciting thing they could do together was play cards and drink.

"Can I skip it and sleep in the dorm instead?"

In the cafeteria, you poked at your food with a fork, feeling bored.

Wang Zhiqiang scoffed, "If you want to be physically punished again."

You frowned, looking resistant: "But the lieutenant and captain will be coming too."

Having dinner and drinks with your boss, is this really a celebration?

Wang Zhiqiang flicked your forehead: "What are you thinking? Just eat and play. Do you think people want to pay attention to you?"

This isn't meant to belittle you, but rather to encourage you to relax.

You know it's hard to refuse, but you still push your luck and stare longingly at Wang Zhiqiang.

"If you could cook something delicious, I'd crawl there if I could! You know, I'm really sick of white food..."

You miss the delicious home-style stir-fry!

I didn't know Wang Zhiqiang could cook before. I wasn't familiar with the kitchen staff at the base, and since the food was pretty good at first, I never thought about cooking for myself.

But ever since you ate Wang Zhiqiang's cooking last time, you've been eyeing it.

Wang Zhiqiang laughed and scolded you: "You wish! Do you think you're still a patient?"

You, in your dramatic mode, say: "Brother~ you know, I've never had a brother since I was little..."

Wang Zhiqiang reached out to stop him, his brows furrowed, clearly looking like he couldn't stand him.

"Stop! Don't say anything, I'll do it!"

You immediately composed yourself and began listing the dishes: "I want ****, and ****, and ****..."

Wang Zhiqiang's face gradually went numb: "Should I make you a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?"

You lower your head, embarrassed, and say, "It doesn't need to be so lavish."

Wang Zhiqiang sneered: "If you can't finish it, I'll just stuff it in for you."

Despite the commotion, we still need to get down to business.

To celebrate, you need to prepare things: ingredients, drinks, knives, and a venue.

The male soldiers will clean the site and set up the tables and chairs. Once the purchased items are brought back, you will be responsible for the details of the setup.

Lighting installation, tablecloth and napkin arrangement and folding, and beverage placement.

Even the smallest details, like the bartending tools and glasses needed because Ghost and Price like to drink, were carefully selected and cleaned, and the ice cubes were prepared in advance and put into the freezer.

After such a busy first day of the holiday, it was already evening.

But an unexpected event occurred: it started raining heavily that night, and none of you had brought umbrellas, so you had to run back to the dormitory in the rain.

Blizzard complained, "Damn rain! It didn't rain during training, but it rained during my break, and I got soaked."

You, on the other hand, thought it was fine: "We still have to do laundry anyway. Looking at it from another angle, maybe we avoided a training session in the rain?"

Blizzard looked at you in surprise: "I actually think what you said makes a lot of sense."

You hold out one hand: "Ms. Blizzard, please pay your compensation for emotional distress."

Blizzard immediately jumped up and down, pointing at you angrily and saying:

"Tell me! Who spread capitalist ideas to you? I'm going to beat him/her to death!"

She remembers that you were quite shy at first, but now you're becoming increasingly shameless.

You smiled, put your arm around her, and dragged her towards the dormitory.

"Let's go, let's go. If we don't go back and take a shower soon, we might have to pay medical bills tomorrow."

Yesterday, while fighting with Vita, you got several scrapes and bruises. After all, there are a lot of bacteria in the rainwater. If you don't go back and clean and treat them quickly, you'll probably have to go to the medical room again tomorrow.

But no one expected that although the rain subsided later, it continued to fall until the next day.

As expected, the rain overnight left your workout clothes damp and slightly smelling of dampness.

It's fine for regular training; we just wear them anyway, since they'll get dirty and smelly eventually.
