Special Forces: Rising from the Ashes of the Lone Wolf

"System, extract Intermediate Water Skill Mastery. 350"

"Ding: Skill successfully extracted. Host's physical strength +1 and speed +1."

Holy crap, what a pleasant surprise!

Don't be fooled by their small size; they are equally precious and powerful!

As attributes increase, the amount of military merit earned also increases dramatically.

Currently, it takes 1000 military merits to exchange for one point of power.

Otherwise, Lin Feng would have maxed out his three main attributes long ago!

Feeling happy and comfortable, I started looking at the skill descriptions.

[Intermediate Swimming Proficiency] Possesses the basic skills to swim freely in the ocean, reducing underwater resistance by 80%, and has a natural sense of balance and direction.

Note: Master-level swimmers possess a certain level of underwater breathing ability.

Note: Intermediate-level swimming proficiency only allows for holding one's breath underwater for ten minutes.

It must be admitted that master-level swimming proficiency is very desirable.

However, the prospect of earning as many as 50,000 military merits made Lin Feng hesitate.

Previously, there were more than 47,000 military merits remaining.

He was awarded a first-class merit once, a second-class merit once, and received an additional 15,000 military merits.

Now another 5,000 have been used up, leaving a total of 57,000 military merits remaining.

Is it possible to exchange all of these resources for a master-level skill?

Water skills are not commonly used, so there's absolutely no need to bother.

Although intermediate skills aren't particularly strong, they're more than enough for naval combat missions!

In short, to sum it up.

Lin Feng's purpose in exchanging skills was very simple.

I just don't want the grueling training; I just want something easier...

Having extracted the skill of water proficiency, Lin Feng instantly mastered water-based abilities.

As for holding your breath for ten minutes?

Although he can't compare to the exceptionally talented Jiang Xiaoyu, he excels in being well-rounded.

The key is having natural balance and a sense of direction, which is extremely important!

The ocean is vast and magnificent, with waves rising even without wind.

Especially on the ship, there are force 7 winds and force 10 waves.

Newcomers to the ship will definitely be rocked until they feel dizzy, and may even vomit up their dinner from the night before.

However, having a sense of balance can definitely prevent suffering and eliminate the adaptation process...

At 5:20 p.m., the Dongjiang Naval Base came into view.

Looking down from above, the base is very large.

Compared to an army corps-level unit, it is more than twice the size.

At the dock, rows of steel behemoths were moored.

White outfitting, a majestic hull, imposing missile silos and main guns.

Overall, it can be described in four words: 'magnificent and imposing'.

"Damn, this is the first time I've seen a warship in person, it's so impressive!"

"Naval behemoths are the true national treasures, the real steel fortresses!"

"Warships are mobile territories, and the spiritual faith and pillar of overseas Chinese!"

"Hehe, don't get too excited yet, we'll definitely get on the warship this time!"

"Look, look! It's a submarine!"

If special forces are land-based killers, then submarines are underwater killers.

Strategic nuclear submarines are also national treasures, and are something that countries all over the world fear.

Because nuclear submarines can carry nuclear weapons.

The ability to sneak into the enemy's doorstep and deliver the supplies is terrifying, isn't it?

"Alright, learn from Xie Sixiao, calm down, and stop embarrassing me!"

"Team leader, can I say I didn't push them?"

"..."

The helicopter was guided to land on the helipad, where people were already waiting.

There were three people: a colonel, a major, and a captain.

As the hatch opened, the Lone Wolf team members quickly exited the cabin one by one.

"Assemble! Salute! Greetings, Commander!"

"Haha, welcome to the Wolf Fang's elite commando team for training at the base."

The two men approached each other, exchanged greetings, and the colonel's face beamed with a broad smile.

"Captain Lin Feng, right? I've heard of your great name~."

"During the annual exercise, he single-handedly stormed the enemy camp."

"One person reversed the situation and brought the exercise to an end."

"He's been hailed as 'the bravest of the three armies' and 'capable of fighting against a thousand soldiers,' right?"

Faced with a barrage of praise, Raymond Lam could only smile and remain humble.

"You flatter me, sir. I have only fulfilled my duties and responsibilities as a soldier, nothing more."

Haha, the rumors are true, he is indeed a humble and promising young soldier!

The next second, the major said, "Captain Lin Feng, let me introduce you."

"This is Huo Dongsheng, the director of external relations at the base, and also my superior."

"My name is Qi Wei, and I'm the assistant to the director, handling some complicated and miscellaneous tasks."

As he spoke, Qi Wei pointed to the captain beside him who was smiling the whole time.

"This is Captain Xie Tingqun, secretary to Chief of Staff Lu Huaicheng at the base command."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Tingqun stepped forward without pause, saluted, and shook hands.

"Hello, Team Leader Lin Feng! Your name is truly legendary!"

"Because the command leaders are all tied up,"

"Therefore, I was ordered to come and greet them on behalf of the authorities."

"The leaders stated one principle: the Lone Wolf Commando Team is absolutely welcome to come to the base for training."

"One principle: 100% cooperation and fulfillment of all the requirements of the Lone Wolf Commando Team."

"Director Huo will be in charge of coordinating the arrangements."

"Of course, you can contact me if you need anything, and I promise I'll be there whenever you call."

To be honest, Lin Feng was extremely surprised at that moment.

When he first heard the words "Dongjiang Base", he felt that they were somewhat familiar.

It's just that I didn't think about it, nor did I think about it deeply.

Now we hear Chief of Staff Lu Huaicheng, and Xie Tingqun standing before us.

He found out and understood.

He is undoubtedly a character in the 'flagship' storyline.

And Xie Tingqun in front of us is a clear troublemaker in the plot!

That guy's a smiling tiger, thick-skinned and cunning, with a honeyed tongue but a dagger in his heart.

In the storyline, he misrepresented information, stirred up trouble, and spread rumors.

To put it bluntly: he is a military politician who is good at manipulating power!

Eventually, the truth came out, and he finally showed some backbone, completely ruining his career...

"Captain Lin Feng, do you...do you know me?"

"Oh, sorry, I was daydreaming!"

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled apologetically: "Although I don't know Secretary Xie."
