[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Wang Zhiqiang saw you, raised his hand, and was about to greet you: "Hey girl..."

You rush over, grab his shoulders, shake him, and with a bright smile, excitedly shout to him:

"I made it ashore! I made it ashore! I've finally become a full-fledged soldier!"

Before Wang Zhiqiang could react, you said to Hu, "Hu, I've become a full-fledged soldier! Hahaha..."

Then you took off running, leaving Wang Zhiqiang and Hu looking at each other in bewilderment.

Tiger asked in confusion, "What's wrong with her?"

He didn't know that you had previously signed an employment contract.

Wang Zhiqiang shook his head as he watched your retreating figure and sighed, "Perhaps he's gone mad with joy."

Tiger let out a breath: "I thought she had suffered some kind of shock."

You, who had gone far away, had no idea about their complaints; all you wanted to do was get back to your dorm as soon as possible.

Finally reaching the dormitory entrance, you eagerly opened the door and shouted inside:

"Beautiful girls, I'm back!"

Everyone stared at you, their movements halted, and a moment of silence filled the space...

Sudden.

The blizzard was the first to rush over, grab you by the collar, flip you over, and pin you to the ground.

Then, she pinched your face hard, making your cheeks hurt.

"You idiot! How could you be so stupid as to believe a scumbag like Lake!"

"You're still so stupid. You just go because I tell you to? Are you out of your mind?"

"You dare come back? I'll teach you a lesson!"

Even though you're being pinched and it hurts a lot, you can't get angry when you see Blizzard's red eyes.

All I could do was keep admitting my mistakes, but the way my cheek was being pinched made my speech unclear.

"Mother Ai... Su Rui..."

(I was wrong, I was wrong, let go of me, it hurts, Blizzard, Your Majesty!)

Vita quickly came over and, together with the others, pulled Blizzard away.

Then Vita comforts you:

“YN, don’t mind her. Blizzard is just too worried about you. She hasn’t been sleeping well lately.”

You nodded: "I know, I'm the one who made you worry."

Then you stand up, walk towards Blizzard, and give her a hug.

You patted her back and gently comforted her, "I'm sorry, blizzard, for making you worry. But don't worry, I'm back safe and sound now, right here in front of you."

After a while of comforting, Blizzard finally reached out and hugged you back, her voice muffled.

I thought...you wouldn't be coming back...

You chuckled and replied playfully, "What are you thinking about! You know I'm always lucky."

After Blizzard calmed down, you stepped aside and gave Vita a hug.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

Then, you took the initiative to hug each of the girls in the dormitory.

I sincerely thank them for their concern.

Then, you sat on your respective beds and talked about your experiences during this time.

Upon hearing that you hid a dagger in your bra strap, Blizzard couldn't help but give you a light tap.

"Well, you did! You came up with this method but didn't tell us, you kept it to yourself."

You take her hand and smile ingratiatingly: "I've already said it, so calm down."

Lina, however, had a different focus, exclaiming, "I never expected you, YN, to run into such a good person! A hero saving a damsel in distress, how romantic!"

Romantic? You recall Kruger's arrogant demeanor and the way he spoke to you that made you want to punch him, and your face immediately turns black.

"Lina, watch less romance dramas!"

You can't help but advise her, fearing that one day she might be lured away by that blond guy. Yes, blond guy, really.

Vita, however, asked the core question.

"So, you're saying that killing Yewen counts as a meritorious act, and the base doesn't offer any reward?"

These words immediately excite you again!

You stood up and told them, beaming with pride.

"Yes! Lieutenant Ghost gave me a formal application form to join the team. From now on, I'm a full-fledged member just like you guys!"

No sooner had you finished speaking than Lina exclaimed in surprise:

"What! You weren't a regular soldier before?"

You: ...Ah, I don't think I told them before.

After their initial surprise, others reacted with disdain.

Of course, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but rather that I'm annoyed that the rewards the base gives are so casual.

After all, they were regular soldiers, so this reward was a bit casual and perfunctory for them.

Even though your reward was disliked, you weren't unhappy because you could understand their perspective.

Ultimately, their disdain stems from their indignation on your behalf.

So you quickly explained, "No! You guys are regular soldiers so you don't feel anything, but for me, a mercenary, this is the best reward."

Blizzard pats you on the shoulder: "Everyone has a different perspective. As long as you're happy, it's something to celebrate."

When the other girls heard what Blizzard said, they all nodded in agreement and apologized to you, saying that they shouldn't have said such negative things.

You smiled and shook your head: "I know you're just concerned about me, that's why you feel I don't deserve this, so I won't be angry."

After chatting with the girls for a while, you finally had some free time.

And the first thing you do when you have free time is check the balance in your savings account.

After all, Ghost had said that a mission reward would be sent out.

You won't believe it until you look it up!

$5000!!

Your current balance is $5000 more than before!

Is it a mission bonus or a combination of salary and bonus? You're not even at the base for a month, yet you still get paid?

But $5000 for a single mission seems unrealistic.

So you think it's $3000 salary plus $2000, totaling $5000.

Holding the savings card, you were deeply moved: "Base, you really do treat me like family!"

Next, you open the chat app on your phone, and a bunch of friend requests pop up...

ch.71: Special

Looking at the dozen or so messages you'd added, you were completely bewildered, but you still approved them one by one.

You gave Kruger and his team their contact information, but not enough for so many people. You should ask around.

After you got through, you sent them messages one by one, asking who they were.

Before you could even finish sending all the messages, you were added to a group chat.

Group name: The Squirrel Observers

Dekai: I brought the little squirrel in!

Su An'er: Hi, YN, come out and say something!

Then several people in the group jumped out and spoke in the group.

You're no longer thinking about who leaked your contact information; your eyes are fixed on the group name, and you feel extremely uneasy.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on your lips.

Go to the group's homepage, delete the group name, and re-enter it...

A loving group of people (17)

yn: Hello everyone!

Dekai: ......

Luke: ......

Suddenly, a group of... appeared on the screen.

Dekai: Who changed the group name? Step forward!

You raise an eyebrow and reply directly.

yn: Stand!

Dekai: yn, why did you change the group name? Don't you like it?

He was very direct, without beating around the bush.

So you're not going to hide it, lest they still call you that in the future.

yn: Yes, I don't like it. Squirrels sound too weak. I like strong animals.

Su An'er: What animal do you like, YN? We'll use that as the name for you.

Is this about what kind of animal you like? Su An'er, why are you joining in their fuss?

yn: Isn't the current group name good? It's so friendly.
