bullyxtreme Chapter 7 Doubt
Chapter 7 Doubt
As noon approached, the temporary camp gradually quieted down. Most of the soldiers had gone out to carry out their missions, while some logistics personnel were busy in the camp, occasionally punctuated by shouts of Russian curses.
Lying on his cot, Lu Ye finally noticed the system notification:
[Mission Completed: Arrived at the Russian temporary defensive position]
[Rewards: +1 Attribute Point, +1 Skill Point]
[Mission Completed: Through Life and Death]
[Rewards: Vasily's loyalty +40, gained the "Basic Shooting" skill, unlocked skill module; Skill Points *1]
Lu Ye clenched his fists, finally finishing. The four days on the battlefield were more exciting than the first half of Lu Ye's life, constantly teetering on the edge of death.
If it weren't for the system, he wouldn't have survived. Although he only gained it for one day, the impact it had on him was immense!
He didn't know how he obtained the system, why the system chose him, or what conspiracy lay behind it.
But in order to survive, and for the sake of his parents and daughter back home, he had no choice but to obey.

Lu Ye thought for a moment and decided that real-time combat strength was the key, so he continued to allocate attribute points to agility.
As for skill points, there's only one skill right now, "Basic Shooting," so that's the only option.
[Agility: 10/10, already at the upper limit for ordinary people. Once the overall attribute reaches 27 or above, the upper limit will be increased to 20 (the limit for regular soldiers)]

In that instant, a surge of heat rushed into my limbs and bones, my leg muscles felt slightly warm, and my fatigue subsided considerably.
Furthermore, I have gained a lot of knowledge about shooting, and my physical coordination has also improved significantly!
After carefully considering it, a look of anticipation for the future appeared on his face, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Now, he finally has the means to survive on the battlefield, even if that means is small.
Just then, the tent flap was suddenly lifted.
Alexei's large head popped in, his expression somewhat grave: "Lu Ye, the commander wants to see you."
Lu Ye's heart tightened: "What is it?"
"Vasily is awake." Alexei's eyes held a complex expression. "He says you're his savior, but the officer seems to have some doubts about your identities."
Lu Ye stood up and stretched his limbs; what was bound to happen was bound to happen.
"Lead the way."
Lu Ye followed Alexei toward the large tent in the center of the camp. Inside sat three people. The middle-aged man with the rank of major on his shoulder insignia looked up. To his left was a bearded medic, and to his right was a tall, thin officer whom Lu Ye had never seen before, who was writing something down in his notebook.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface. The moment he entered the tent, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Triggering an emergency mission: Allaying doubts]
[Mission Description: Successfully dispel the base major's suspicions, prove your worth, and dispel his doubts about your identity.]
[Quest Reward: Skill Point *1]
[Bonus Mission: Gain the Major's approval and secure a formal position in the camp (not cannon fodder)]
[Task Reward: Attribute Points *1]
"Sir, the man has been brought." Alexei saluted and stepped aside.
Major Igor Petrov, about forty years old, had gray-blue eyes that revealed no emotion.
He was wearing a slightly worn camouflage uniform, the collar open, revealing a T-shirt underneath. To his left was a Makarov pistol, and to his right was a cup of coffee that had gone cold.
"Sit down, we have a lot to talk about!" Igor gestured with his chin towards the folding stool opposite him.
"Lu Ye, a Chinese national, was sold to a foreign legion cannon fodder battalion three days ago." Igor's voice was calm, as if reading from a file. "Last night, you carried the heavily wounded Vasily Petrov and appeared on the outer perimeter of our lines, shooting down two suicide drones."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Lu Ye: "Did I forget anything?"
"No, sir," Lu Ye added. "Before entering the cannon fodder battalion, I underwent a month of intensive training."
"Then let's talk about the parts we've missed." Igor nodded, leaning forward slightly.
"A cannon fodder who's been here for three days, his marksmanship is better than my sniper's. Three shots, three drones, the last one was shot down while it was in an out-of-control dive. Do you know what my sniper said?"
He looked at the tall, thin officer beside him.
The officer looked up, adjusted his glasses, and said, "He said that even the elite Russian special forces wouldn't have a 60% hit rate in that situation. Your hit rate is 100%."
The bearded medic leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his eyes darting back and forth between Lu Ye and Igor.
Lu Ye took a deep breath, looked up to meet the major's gaze, and said firmly, "Sir, I trained with friends back in China; after a month of intensive training, I became completely familiar with the firearms, and my marksmanship is among the best in the entire temporary training camp!"
"Trained?" The major scoffed, his skepticism undiminished. "Could an ordinary person, after a month of marksmanship, shoot down a high-speed diving suicide drone with three shots?"
The bearded medic Nikolai, standing nearby, also spoke up: "And the first-aid kit you used on Vasily before had an unusual effect; we still haven't been able to find any relevant model number."
Lu Ye was prepared. He took a deep breath and continued, "That first aid kit was indeed enemy supplies that I captured on the battlefield. I don't know what special model it was. At the time, the situation was urgent, and I was only thinking about saving Vasily. I didn't have time to take a closer look."
He deliberately emphasized the words "rescue Vasily".
He noticed that Vasily was standing there, supported by two soldiers, his face still pale, clearly having overheard the conversation inside.
Vasily entered, supported by soldiers, then saluted the major, his voice hoarse: "Sir, I can testify! Lu Ye is telling the truth; that first-aid kit was indeed captured enemy supplies!"
Lu Ye hadn't expected Vasily to give false testimony for him, especially since he was completely unconscious when Vasily saved his life! His intention was to get Vasily to speak up for him out of gratitude for saving his life.
"Is this the effect of reaching a loyalty level of 50?" Lu Ye wondered.
The major glanced at Vasily, then looked at Lu Ye, and remained silent for a moment.
He knew Vasily's character; although he had a fiery temper, he was a veteran who never lied. Since Vasily had vouched for him, Lu Ye's words had some credibility.
But he still had some doubts. After all, the marksmanship of a cannon fodder was too amazing, so he couldn't help but be cautious.
Seeing the doubt still lingering in the major's eyes, Lu Ye took a deep breath and changed the subject: "Words are meaningless. No matter how much I say, you won't believe me."
"Sir," he looked directly into Igor's eyes, "may I make a request?"
"explain."
"Give me a gun and five bullets." Lu Ye's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear. "Let me practice shooting. If I can't reach the level I just described, you can do whatever you want with me."
