[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Wang Zhiqiang remained silent.

Soap clicked its tongue in disapproval.

The ghost's eyes were cold.

Koenig lowered his eyes and said in a suppressed voice.

"I come."

Soap opening: 'Koi...'

"Little John, you and Zimo take the person away first."

The ghost interrupted him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Soap said nothing more and, together with Wang Zhiqiang, carried the person away.

Leave behind the ghost and Koenig.

The ghost stared at Koenig and slowly said:

"Koenig, the rest is up to you."

Koenig nodded.

After the ghost left, Koenig drew his pistol from his back waist, pulled the trigger, and cocked it.

Then came his murmured words:

"Don't worry, leave this to me..."

ch.68: They got along well.

After you left the training room, you walked alone with Kruger and finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"Did you just have a fight with Koenig?"

Kruger: "Just a friendly exchange."

Why don't you believe it? Did they sound friendly at the time?

I realized that their conflict stemmed from you.

You scratch your face awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I did that without your permission, and it made you unhappy."

Kruger pondered for a moment, then replied:

"There was no unpleasantness; on the contrary, we got along quite well."

It turns out that after their "friendly exchange" earlier, they discovered that they had both served in the KSK, and then they talked about some things related to the KSK before being interrupted.

You jokingly ask him, "So, the new friend I introduced to you is quite to your liking?"

Kruger gave a soft snort: "Barely."

He then emphasized, "To reiterate, he is not my friend, just someone I find barely acceptable."

You nodded dismissively, "Okay, okay, I understand."

Once you get used to his temperament, when he says something unpleasant, just take it as him being arrogant.

Thinking you still have things to do, you ask him, "I need to go to the ghost's office. Are you in a hurry to go back, or would you like to have dinner with me before you leave?"

If it weren't for the fact that you were going to the ghost office, you would definitely have taken him out for a meal first.

Kruger shrugged: "My time is precious, and I don't want to waste it waiting."

Okay, it's time to go.

You didn't insist on keeping me, since you really have things to do right now.

"Then I won't see you off. Thank you so much for taking care of me during this time, and for going to the trouble of bringing me back. I will remember this favor."

Then you tell him your contact information and ask him to add you so he can contact you anytime he needs your help.

Kruger nodded: "Got it, I'm off."

After saying that, he turned and left.

As you watched his retreating figure, you gave him a worried remark:

Drive carefully!

He didn't turn around, but raised his hand and waved to indicate that he had heard and to say goodbye.

After watching him walk away, you sighed deeply and then turned and walked towards the ghost's office.

But when you get to the ghost's office, you don't see the ghost, but instead you meet an unexpected person.

"Sergeant Keegan, what are you doing here?"

As a newcomer and subordinate, you take the initiative to greet him.

Keegan was sitting in a chair, but when he saw you, he stood up and pulled out a chair for you.

"Lieutenant Ghost sent me here."

Since he said that, you shouldn't ask him why, so you can only give up.

"Thank you, Sergeant Keegan, you're a gentleman."

You sit in the chair he pulls out for you and praise his thoughtful gesture.

Keegan then sat back down in his seat and replied gently, "You're welcome, it's just etiquette."

The voice lacked emotion, but remained deep and pleasant.

A person's voice is also a characteristic. A pleasant voice is a plus in social situations, especially when the face is covered and cannot be seen. A pleasant voice adds a touch of mystery and sexiness.

Actually, everyone else's voices are also very pleasant, but because of their personalities and how they interact, you often overlook their voices.

Keegan is different. He is more mild-mannered and calm, and most of the time he doesn't attract much attention. His tone doesn't fluctuate much during conversations, which makes people pay more attention to his words and voice.

"I'm truly ashamed to say I missed your naval operations training."

You feel a little disappointed. This unexpected event has caused you to miss a combat training session, which means you're going to fall behind the others again.

At the same time, it also makes you feel a little guilty when facing the instructor, Keegan, whose class you missed.

However, Keegan had no objections and instead comforted you.

"Don't be disappointed. You've also gained something else. You fought very well today."

Um! ?

Look up at him!

"Sergeant Keegan, how did you know? Were you there at the time?"

He was there when you were fighting Lake, how come you didn't see him?

Keegan nodded: "It seems you didn't notice me."

You're really scared now.

"I'm sorry... I really didn't see you."

Keegan, however, seemed unconcerned: "Looking at it from another angle, it's a good thing. As a reconnaissance sniper, I'm happy about it; it's less likely to attract attention."

You nodded. Every branch of the military has its strengths and weaknesses. As a soldier, you must not only make the most of your profession, but also strive to overcome your weaknesses.

For a sniper, the most important thing is to remain concealed and minimize their presence.

However, when it comes to snipers, you can't help but sigh.

"Actually, what I wanted to be most was a sniper, but unfortunately I was assigned to the assault role."

This has always been your regret, and this near-death experience has made you even more concerned about safety.

After all, you stayed to survive, so you definitely want to be as safe as possible.

Sensing your distress, Keegan tries to comfort you.

"Actually, becoming a sniper isn't that great. There's a lot more to learn, and fewer opportunities for promotion."

As firepower hidden in the rear, the chances of making meritorious contributions are certainly far lower than those of assault troops charging on the front lines. After all, assault troops face greater battlefield pressure, but their opportunities are indeed more extensive.

"Furthermore, as a task force, the distinction between snipers and assault soldiers is not so clear-cut at your base, and snipers often need to cooperate in many missions. In this case, the things that assault soldiers have to be responsible for and learn are not as complicated as those of snipers."

In general, apart from having a lower chance of being exposed at the rear, snipers have just as much to learn as other people, and in some ways, more and more difficult things to learn.

You exclaimed, "I never imagined becoming a sniper would be so difficult."

However, you didn't think snipers were bad because of these conditions; on the contrary, these stringent requirements made you even more interested in them.

I also have more respect for Keegan.

"Wouldn't Sergeant Keegan be incredibly powerful?"

Keegan chuckled softly: "I think I'm just better suited for this position."

What level of skill is considered impressive? If surviving is considered impressive, then he has to admit that so far, that is indeed the case.

Just as you were about to praise him for being modest, the ghost's voice interrupted.

"It seems you two get along well."

You stand up: "Lieutenant."

Keegan also stood up.

The ghost didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

He walked to his desk, picked up a distribution sheet, and handed it to you.

You reach out and take it, puzzled: "Lieutenant, what does this mean?"

ch.69: Application Form for Joining the Team

This is a job assignment form, which you filled out once before.

But this one is different; your primary role assignment is no longer Assault, but Sniper.

"Joseph and Lake have left the base, leaving one sniper and one demolitionist position vacant. I've assigned you the role of sniper."
