[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

"The ghost said."

This decision was the result of his careful consideration after he learned that you were still alive.

He wouldn't feel comfortable putting you on the front lines with your personality, and your physique isn't suitable for a demolition specialist, so a sniper is the only option...

Your shooting skills are good, your reaction time is fast, and your observation skills are also good, so you are quite suitable for this position.

His personality isn't mature enough yet...

However, Ghost isn't worried about that now, since Keegan is now in charge of the sniper role, and under Keegan's leadership, he believes you will gradually become more composed.

And you, though outwardly calm, are inwardly trembling with excitement.

It's like your wish came true! You were just talking to Keegan about it, and now all you have to do is sign this assignment form to switch to a primary role!

Suppressing your excitement, you thanked the ghost: "Thank you, Lieutenant!"

The ghost glanced at you, then turned to Keegan.

"Sergeant Keegan, YN is now in your hands. You know her situation, so you'll need to put in extra effort in her training and get her back on track as soon as possible."

I don't know if you misunderstood, but you always feel that this sentence implies that you should be given special treatment.

You're shaking your head frantically in your mind.

You're definitely overthinking it. With Ghost's personality, how could she possibly mean that?

Even if there is, it's because you've fallen behind by a month, and they want Sergeant Keegan to give you a crash course!

The thought of the intense training you're about to face is already making you feel exhausted.

Keegan, on the other hand, showed no emotion, as if he didn't overthink Ghost's words, and simply replied indifferently.

"I understand, Lieutenant."

After explaining everything, Ghost let Keegan leave first.

Once Keegan leaves, only you and the ghost are left in the room.

Holding the allocation slip, you tentatively asked the ghost, "Lieutenant, could I borrow a pen?"

You need to sign the allocation form, but you don't have a pen with you.

Although there is a pen on the ghost's desk, you should still ask for his opinion in front of others.

The ghost didn't speak, but went straight to the desk and handed you a pen.

You take the pen from the ghost, a sense of surprise rising within you:

Why didn't I see it when you and Wang Zhiqiang wrote your self-criticisms last time?

But you know what, writing with a fountain pen just feels so good.

You look at your stylish signature on the form with satisfaction. Although it only has two letters, "yn", you write it clearly, fluently and uniquely. Especially the dot at the end, it's simply the soul of the stroke!

You hand the pen and the form to the ghost.

After glancing at it, the ghost asked, "The secondary role you chose... or medical?"

You nodded, and when filling out the assignment form, you needed to re-enter your preferred auxiliary position; you still chose medical.

"This job doesn't align well with your main role, I suggest you switch to another one."

The ghost made the suggestion.

You can't expect a hidden sniper to rush out and rescue people when you're on the battlefield, can you?

It was convenient for you as an assault soldier before, but now that you've switched to a sniper, choosing medic as your support role won't be so convenient.

After he said that, you also felt it was inappropriate, but you really didn't want to change, and you quite liked studying medicine.

It used to be for your own safety, but ever since you stitched up Kruger, you've come to enjoy that sense of accomplishment.

So you shook your head: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant, I don't want to switch. However, to match my new primary position, I'm willing to choose an additional auxiliary position."

The ghost glanced at you and said, "Never mind, let's leave it at that."

You immediately grab the allocation sheet from his hand, eager to negotiate:

"No way! It's already been a lot of trouble for you, Lieutenant, to help me switch to my primary position. If other people find out that my secondary and primary positions don't match, I'm afraid they'll gossip about you."

The ghost's voice was deep: "What are you talking about me about?"

You frowned and gave an example: "For instance, special treatment, making things convenient for me, or something like that?"

The ghost chuckled, "You're quite considerate of others."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the compliment, you immediately responded modestly, "No, no, Lieutenant, you flatter me too much."

Then you pull hard, and the document is snatched from the ghost's hand.

Looking at the list, you're a little conflicted: "Which one should I choose...?"

From this perspective, the number of support roles that can work with snipers is pitifully small.

"Drone, I guess."

The ghost offered a suggestion.

You wonder: "Is this option available in the auxiliary positions?"

Ghost Explanation: "It belongs to the category of auxiliary professions, which can be found in intelligence and demolition. It allows you to operate drones for reconnaissance and aerial firepower."

You: "Can I select the drone category separately?"

It's important to know that auxiliary positions are also composed of several categories, and you're not sure if choosing just one category is okay.

Ghost tilted his head back, his tone relaxed: "It's simple. I'll just give you an explanation. As a sniper, the support roles you can play are limited, and everyone can understand that."

Snipers require a lot of training and have limited mobility on the battlefield, while the base is relatively lenient towards support roles for special personnel.

For soldiers with physical disabilities due to their mission, the base can exempt them from auxiliary duties and even provide them with additional benefits.

Hearing him say that put your mind at ease, and you added the drone option to the auxiliary job section of the assignment sheet.

You hand the form to the ghost again, and after he takes it, you can't help but ask him a question.

"Lieutenant, may I leave now?"

You were in a hurry to see Blizzard and the others. You didn't have a chance to greet them or catch up with them at the training ground. After finishing everything, you couldn't contain your excitement and rushed back to your dorm.

But the ghost called out to you, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, he took the form and walked back to his desk, placed it on the desk, and then opened the desk drawer.

When he came back, he had something else in his hand, which he handed to you.

You take a look and you see a contract and a soldier's enlistment application form!

You stare at the contract in your hand, feeling your heart pounding in your chest, and ask the ghost in disbelief:

"Lieutenant, this...this is for me?"

What is this?! This is proof that you've been officially hired!

Once you fill this out, you will no longer be a mercenary, but a regular soldier protected by law and enjoying military rights!

The ghost was speechless: "Did you get brain damage from that beating?"

You chuckled: "I just can't believe it, after all, you said before that mercenaries usually have a hard time getting promoted."

Ghost: "I applied for it for you. Your performance has always been outstanding, plus you killed the leader of the last mission, Slater Yevgeny."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes to look at you, and you seemed to see a touch of gentleness in them.

“YN, you are an excellent soldier. The base should not miss out on you.”

If you're just a mercenary, you can leave the base at any time and join another organization.

Putting aside the training the base provided for you, losing a soldier with perseverance and ability is a loss in itself.

You don't know how the ghost knew, or that you killed Yevgeny, but no questions can shake your happiness right now.

You excitedly shout to the ghost, "Thank you, Lieutenant!"

The ghost covered its ears and replied in a very official tone: "You're welcome, you deserve it."

Then he dropped another bombshell.

ch.70: We've made it ashore!

"Also, the last mission was successfully completed, and every new recruit who participated in the mission was promoted to private first class, and the bonuses were deposited into your accounts."

You stare blankly at the ghost.

What's going on today? Good news keeps coming one after another. Are you dreaming? Or are you in heaven?

“yn?”

Seeing you lost in thought, the ghost called out to you.

"what!"

You suddenly snapped back to reality and immediately replied to him:

"Yes, Lieutenant, I'll sign it right now!"

After saying that, you immediately flipped to the last page of the contract, neatly signed your code name, and didn't even bother to read the contents carefully.

It was as if they were afraid that if they waited any longer, the ghost would regret it and take the contract back from them.

After handing the contract to the ghost, you stare at him expectantly.

The ghost lowered his eyelids, and the expression beneath the mask seemed to be a frown, followed by his usual mockery.

"What are you still looking at? Do you need me to ask you to leave?"

This means you're allowed to pass; say goodbye to him immediately.

"No, no, Lieutenant, I can walk by myself!"

Then, you quickly slipped out.

After leaving the ghost office, you can finally stop suppressing your emotions and run happily.

On the way back to the dormitory, I ran into Wang Zhiqiang and Hu, who were also heading back to their dorms.
