[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

But it's inappropriate to wear this to a celebration today.

Fortunately, you soon received a notification that, due to the weather, you were allowed to wear regular clothes during the holiday.

Upon hearing this, the girls in the dormitory cheered!

After all, few girls don't love beauty and want to be sloppy.

After training every day in greasy physical training clothes and baggy combat uniforms until they were filthy, I had long missed my old clothes.

You weren't that excited, after all, all your belongings consisted of a backpack, and the clothes inside were mostly simple and lightweight sportswear that you had chosen for travel convenience.

Therefore, the transition from workout clothes to sportswear didn't bring you much excitement.

Moreover, since it was springtime when you went out, the weather was still quite cool, so you mainly brought long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and a jacket.

I do have a long-sleeved cheongsam for taking photos, but it's not suitable for the weather right now, and it's also too conspicuous.

You searched through your backpack and finally found the only set of short-sleeved shirt and shorts, which you had brought with you to soak in an open-air hot spring.

However, since they were prepared for hot springs, they were all quite form-fitting, and the shorts were also very short.

After thinking about it, you took out a pair of brown cargo pants and replaced the tight shorts.

Looking at the work pants in my hand, I think of the day you first came into this world, you were wearing these same pants, and then you met Kruger.

Thinking about this, you wonder how Kruger is doing, and then you feel sorry for your gold bracelet!

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going to change my clothes.

But when you changed your clothes and looked in the mirror, a look of surprise appeared on your face.

You've been training for the past two months and haven't paid any attention to the changes in your body.

High-intensity training will make your arm muscles more defined, and although your abs may not have very obvious six-pack abs, they will be toned and have a more defined shape. Training your chest muscles will also make you more upright.

So, what was originally a slightly fitted short-sleeved shirt now feels a bit tight, and the fabric has shifted upwards, causing the once-fitting shirt to now reveal your navel.

Blizzard came over and whistled at you.

"Wow, you've gotten a better figure."

After all, when you first arrived, your physique, which showed no obvious signs of training, was the subject of their teasing.

You slap away the hand that was pinching your arm.

"Get away, go touch your boyfriend's."

Knowing you were criticizing her previous behavior of forgetting her friends for the sake of a pretty boy, Blizzard put her arm around your shoulder and coaxed you with a smile.

"What's so great about touching a stinky man? Unlike our YN, who's so fragrant and smooth."

Blizzard has stated countless times that she loves the Asian physique of having less body odor and less body hair.

You cross your arms and give a soft hum to indicate that you're not going to hold it against her.

"Alright, stop fooling around, it's time to go out."

Vita, who had changed his clothes, spoke up to remind him.

She's long been used to your antics, and each time she either joins in or reminds you that it's time to get down to business.

She's dressed similarly to you today, except she's wearing a tank top and a pair of round earrings, which also gives her a very stylish look.

Blizzard, on the other hand, wore a low-cut tank top and super short denim shorts, showing off her great figure.

Although her outfit was rather revealing, her confident demeanor and open gaze prevented her from appearing vulgar. In addition, her darker skin tone gave off a healthy, vibrant, and primal sense of sexiness.

Chapter 29: A Moral Gambler

The celebration started in the afternoon, and to foster a closer team atmosphere, you new recruits were assigned to help prepare the ingredients.

After all, it's a big project, and the small number of people in the kitchen are simply not enough to handle it all.

When a group of girls appeared in the kitchen, they attracted almost everyone's attention.

There's no way around it; there are already few women at the base. Even when they're wearing physical training clothes and looking disheveled from training, they still have no shortage of suitors, let alone now that they're all dressed up nicely.

As you walk behind, you feel so awkward you want to lower your head, while they walk in front with confidence and ease, and the lively ones even throw a kiss to tease you.

Blizzard exuded queen-like authority, tossing her hair and glaring at them.

"What are you looking at? Get back to work."

Then he reaches out and slaps you hard on the back, in his usual disappointed tone.

"Look at you, so spineless. Let them watch if they want. Just be yourself. If you're unhappy, glare back at them!"

You know she meant to make you confident and not care about what others think.

But you're not insecure, you're just not used to it, not used to this kind of intense attention.

But since Blizzard had already said so, you obediently followed them to the corner table with your head held high and eyes straight ahead.

You have been assigned to make desserts. You have been given instructions and ingredients, and you just need to follow the instructions.

Blizzard led a team to make the cake base, Vita and her team were in charge of making the cream, and the others were responsible for making other ingredients, while you were in charge of cutting the fruit.

The male soldiers were also assigned other tasks, and the group of more than thirty people worked together, making for a rather impressive scene.

Although there were some minor mishaps during the process, it was ultimately completed successfully.

After bringing the prepared food to the set-up area and placing it on the designated food table according to its category, you can report to the person in charge.

Once the person in charge confirms that everything is in order, they will notify the officers to come and have a meal together.

People arrived one after another, and when you saw Wang Zhiqiang, you immediately waved to him.

Wang Zhiqiang then came over with Hu and Oni.

"Ladies, may we sit here?"

When eating at the base, there is no clear class distinction based on rank. You can sit wherever you want, but asking for permission is a matter of courtesy.

You and Wang Zhiqiang aren't usually this polite with each other, but since there are other people sitting next to you today, it's only natural to ask them out as a courtesy.

After receiving permission, the three men sat down opposite you and Blizzard.

While waiting for the others, Tiger pulled out a deck of cards and said, "Let's play a few rounds."

Wang Zhiqiang looked at him warily:

"You have to promise you won't cheat today!"

He looked as if he was terrified of the tiger.

Tiger quickly tried to prove himself: "Brother, I'm a moral gambler, I never cheat."

Wang Zhiqiang didn't believe it: "Then why do I always lose money when we play against each other?"

Tiger shrugged: "You should ask yourself that question. Was it just bad luck, or... was your skill level too low?"

Wang Zhiqiang retorted, "Impossible!"

Tiger asked provocatively, "Then let's have a match?"

Wang Zhiqiang sneered, "Let's compete! If I find out you're cheating, I'll dump your kimchi into the toilet!"

Tiger: "You vicious bastard! That's authentic Korean kimchi that I had someone buy for me. Don't touch it!"

And just like that, without you saying a word, you were pulled into a gambling game.

After Tiger explained the rules, you played two rounds to get a feel for it. Just as you were about to get serious, you saw everyone else stand up.

Following their gaze, you see several people appearing at the doorway, none other than Price and Ghost.

You all stood up and saluted them, just like the others.

"Captain Price!"

"The Ghost Lieutenant!"

Price gestured with his hand, then smiled and said:

"Kids, relax. Today is a celebration. Eat, drink, and have fun as you please."

The ghost stood behind him, without uttering a word.

When Captain Price is around, he usually doesn't speak up or take control of the situation.

It could even be said that as long as someone is willing to step forward, he is happy to stand silently to the side, a person who doesn't like to waste words.

Soap, standing next to Ghost, reached out and nudged him, then pointed to the simple bar in the corner.

"These newlyweds are really romantic, they even set up a bar! Simon, come on, I'll mix you a drink."

As they spoke, the three of them walked toward the bar.

Once everyone had arrived, and everyone was starving, they all grabbed plates and headed to the food area for something to eat.

But you remained motionless, your eyes fixed on Wang Zhiqiang across from you.

You noticed from the beginning that he came in carrying a bag.

This reminded you of what he promised you, which is why you quickly greeted him.

Wang Zhiqiang couldn't stand your staring, so after everyone had left, he picked up the bag at his feet and took out a lunchbox from it.

He placed the lunchbox on the table and then pushed it towards you:

"Alright, alright, here you go."

You immediately beamed with joy: "Thanks, bro! You're the best! The way you take out your lunchbox is as cool as the way you take out a mannequin!"

Then you opened the lunchbox. Inside the three-compartment lunchbox, one compartment contained snow-white rice, and another contained shredded meat coated in sauce, along with side dishes such as green peppers and carrots. It looked like it was shredded pork with garlic sauce.

The other compartment also contained meat coated in red sauce, but without any side dishes and consisting of large slices of meat.

You point to the last dish and ask him, "What is this?"

Wang Zhiqiang: "Spicy braised beef."

Then he continued, "I can't do any of those things you're talking about. You'll have to eat whatever I make."

You quickly smiled apologetically, "Of course, of course! This looks delicious, I'm going to dig in!"

After saying that, you picked up a piece of spicy braised beef and put it in your mouth.
