Phone App: Portable Armory 38 The Russian's Gambit: Part 14

The personal skill tree, or skill trees for the Contractors. It basically what makes some of the contractors like Alpha could carry a hundred kilograms of equipment or contractor like Lima to take a hit from a .50 BMG. It supplied the contractors with an instant learning of combat skills such as CQC, Marksmans.h.i.+p, Destruction of Vital object, etc.

It also supplied them with a skill like riding a helicopter, bike, tank, car, APC, and jet. It had many features such as reducing a recoil of a gun by earning a certain skill, increasing resilience, increasing damage dealt by a gun, etc. Tango said that with the right skill, you could turn .22 to .50 BMG.

Aline went back to Lizeth's room. She was in a full combat loadout with a black and white medic patch on her left arm. She was using a Galil ACE. It had an ACOG sight and she used a grenade launcher.

Lizeth had opened the black container. It contained a new piece of rifle, POF P416, and new tactical gear. She had worn the new outfit which consists of black tactical clothing and ballistic vest with arms protector. She also had worn a new black balaclava with a new rifle grade helmet.

"Welcome back to the line of work," Aline gave her a new cellphone which was a freaking 1000$ cellphone that she never thought of buying.

"Thanks, Aline," she turned on the phone and opened the Armory System app. In the app, she searched for a personal skill tree and found it.

[Skill Points: 30] [Skill Points Can Be Obtained Through Completing Contracts]

'd.a.m.n, watch dogs skill tree feels very similar to this,' she said as she looked that she had 30 skill points left. She looked that his car and bike driving skill was already at the maximum level.

She saw that her marksmans.h.i.+p level was at level zero. It means that she didn't have any special qualities besides an ordinary person when she wielded a gun. She also saw that his CQC level was very low. That explained why she struggled against ordinary street thugs.

"Invest in focus skill. It should help your aim," Aline said as Lizeth pressed the focus skill.

[Focus: Slows down time for a limited amount of duration. 5 seconds cooldown. 7 seconds duration.][1 Skill Points]

[Improved Focus: Slows down time even slower than regular focus. Increase duration of focus to 15 seconds. Reduce cool down time to 4.5 second.][9 Skill Points]

She looked around and noticed nothing different. She didn't know what the skill could do so she moved on to the CQC skill.

[Basic CQC: Ability to takedown street thugs effectively and reduced the struggle of taking down an ordinary security guard.] [3 Skill Points]

[Mediocre CQC: Ability to take down a regular soldier with ease. Reducing struggle for taking down regular SF.] [9 Skill Points]

Aline gave her a 26-inch baton, "You're going to need this. You need to learn less-lethal takedown. Be careful, that baton cost me 800$," it was a military-grade push-b.u.t.ton baton. Lizeth put it in her belt right next to her knife.

The 26-inch baton was very long. She deployed that baton and was surprised at how long the baton was, "This is a baton right? It is used to disable a person right?" She said as she waved that baton around.

"Mmm," Aline thought for a second, "Not really. Just don't aim for the head if you don't want to kill someone," Lizeth put her baton back to her belt. She inspected her new weapon. Very vanilla weapon. It didn't have any attachment to it. No Sight. No Foregrip. No muzzle devices. All of those were really a reward from Aline's grat.i.tude.

[Gunshop: Accessories]

[Eotech Sight + 3x Magnifier: 1500$]

[Magpul Angled Foregrip: 40$]

[Military Grade Suppressor: 1500$]

[Confirm: Warning, money not enough.]

"Don't worry. I will pay for the rest," Aline said as she put her phone near Lizeth's and the attachments were attacked to Lizeth's new rifle. Lizeth only had 0$ right now due to that circ.u.mstances. Lizeth pressed the skill section again and this time it was the marksmans.h.i.+p section.

[Basic Recoil Handling: Improved Burst Accuracy with an automatic weapon. 10% Recoil reduction and reduce sway] [1 Skill Points.]

[Basic Gunfire Resistance: Reducing damage taken from bullets and nullify damage for bullets below .22lr] [5 skill points]

She then opened the Combat Essential skill.

[Mediocre Medic Skill: Treating bullet wounds more effectively.] [3 Skill Points]

"Hmm, what's your new codename will be?" Aline asked.

"Hmm, I think Lynx is my new codename," Lizbeth said as the empty username on the app changed name into Lynx. She got a lot of new contracts. Most of them were more dangerous than usual. h.e.l.l, even calling them dangerous was a very very bad understatement.

[International Contract Has Been Unlocked]

She poked Alina's back, "What is an international contract?" Lizeth asked.

"Ah, congratulations my friend. Where is it? Latin America? Central Asia? Or Africa?"

Lizeth opened that contract list and she found one of that international contract. It was a contract in Iraq. Well, it was insane as a matter of fact.

[Gaining Intel]

This is a personal Contract from a CIA agent. An Intel about the stolen WMD has been discovered in the south of Caim. The good news is the Intel was relatively guarded by 100 terrorists. The bad news is that the US doesn't want to risk a team for an Intel that could be false. Retrieve the dossier then sent it to Langley.

Reward: [200.000$+ Level cap at 48], [CIA reputation +++]

"Is this kind of contract going to take long?" Lizeth asked.

"Maybe, two weeks is enough. Change into your casual clothing, we're going to the airport," Aline said as she grabbed her car keys and changed into her casual clothing.

"Wait, do you have any clothes for me?" Lizeth asked her. Aline showed her wardrobe and Lizeth chose a black long-sleeved s.h.i.+rt and black trousers. "Do you need underwear?" Aline asked her.

"NO THANKS, I'VE WORN THAT," Lizeth shouted as she finished dressing up. They went upstairs and Lizeth saw the sunlight for the first time in two years.
