108: Chapter 108 Thank you both!

[Character Profile: Omar Adom Zidan]

Name: Omar Adom Zidan

Taiwan Novel Network offers a great experience, super helpful.

Origin: "FBI"

Status: Alive

Current Location: New Orleans, FBI Temporary Office

Danger Level: Low (He is a good person and easy to get along with)

Affection Level: 25/100 (He thinks you might have something to offer, but he's not sure. He will give you a chance to prove yourself.)

[Character Introduction]

Omar Adom Zidan, Special Agent at the FBI New York Field Office. Maggie's partner. Thirty-five or thirty-six years old, married, with two children.

He is more easygoing than Maggie and better at dealing with people.

He has seen all kinds of people—good and bad, old and new—and he knows how to interact with everyone.

He bears no hostility toward you, only curiosity. Curious about why you were able to join and curious about what skills you possess.

He will observe you, but not stare you down like Maggie. He will give you opportunities and wait for you to prove yourself.

His Ability: Driving. He can drive any vehicle under any road conditions. In pursuits, escapes, and surveillance, he is the best driver in the FBI New York Field Office.

His Weakness: Too family-oriented. He doesn't like working overtime, doesn't like business trips, and doesn't like being away from his children for too long. However, he won't complain; he'll just silently finish his work and catch the last train home.

[Special Note]

Detected that the host has come into contact with [Firearms Expert: Maggie Bell] and [Driving Expert: Omar Adom Zidan].

Detected that in the host's current ability system, firearms-related abilities are blank and driving-related abilities are blank.

[Firearm Mastery (Elementary)]

Remarks: Maggie Bell has worked at the FBI for nearly ten years, fired tens of thousands of rounds, and experienced countless gunfights.

She isn't a sharpshooter, but she is a consistent one.

Her gun never jams, and her bullets never stray. This isn't talent; it's practice. In your case, it has become instinct.

...

Holy cow!

So these two are characters from an American TV show!

Sean really hadn't watched the show "FBI," so he wasn't familiar with these two at all.

It was only now that he realized these two were characters from a TV show.

This realization caused the faint, uncomfortable feeling Sean had from his slightly antagonistic attitude toward Maggie Bell to vanish completely.

Just as he was feeling excited, the pages of the book rustled and stopped on a page where new handwriting was emerging.

[Detected that the host possesses multiple combat skills: Firearm Mastery (Elementary), Driving Mastery (Elementary), Intermediate Fighting]

[Skill merge conditions met. Merging into [Comprehensive Combat Literacy]]

Immediately after, a light flashed across the page.

Those scattered skill entries began to blur, fuse, and reorganize. Firearm Mastery, Driving Mastery, and Intermediate Fighting—the three skills merged like three drops of water into a new, larger skill.

[Congratulations to the Host: Firearm Mastery (Elementary) + Driving Mastery (Elementary) + Fighting (Intermediate) → Comprehensive Combat Literacy (Intermediate)]

[Federal Agent: Comprehensive Combat Literacy (Intermediate)]

Type: Passive/Active Hybrid

Effect: Comprehensively enhances the host's overall combat capability during law enforcement operations.

Firearms: Recoil perception decreased by 30%, shooting accuracy increased by 35%, quick-draw speed increased by 25%, reloading speed increased by 25%, jam clearing speed increased by 35%.

Driving: Vehicle handling precision increased by 25%, instinctive judgment of the best route during high-speed pursuits, reaction speed increased by 25%, driving stability under various road conditions increased by 35%.

Fighting: Punching speed increased by 25%, strength increased by 20%, reaction speed increased by 25%. Added grappling techniques, joint locks, and ground fighting abilities. When facing armed attacks, evasion awareness is significantly enhanced, allowing for the prediction of the opponent's attack trajectory.

Passive Buff: Physical reaction speed increased by 25% when facing sudden attacks.

Vitals Lock: Able to instinctively identify the opponent's weakest point during combat.

Remarks: This is not a simple stacking of three skills; it is a fusion.

Firearms, driving, and fighting are never separate in actual combat.

You might need to shoot while chasing a car, you might need to dodge a punch while shooting, and you might need to grab an opponent's keys while fighting.

A true super fighter is not a specialist champion, but an all-rounder.

You are now half of one.

...

!!

Skills can even be merged!

Sean made a brief comparison and found that after the fusion, his various abilities had indeed seen some growth.

Nice!

Very nice!

Sean was in a great mood, so he turned to the two of them and said, "Agent Bell, Agent Zidan, I want to say thank you to both of you."

Maggie leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, sounding a bit wary. "Thank us for what?"

Sean said, "Thank you for being willing to take me on. I know the way I got in wasn't conventional and you're unhappy about it. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't be happy either."

"But it doesn't matter. Since we're all colleagues now, I'm sure we'll help each other out."

Maggie was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Sean, a hint of surprise in her sharp eyes.

She had thought this young man would put on airs, use his connections to pressure people, or think he was something special.

She had deliberately made things difficult and given him a cold shoulder just now to see how Sean would react.

If this guy had pushed back against her, she would have been even more displeased.

But he didn't; he humbled himself.

One does not slap a smiling face.

So, Maggie's tone softened slightly compared to before. "Officer Blake, your onboarding paperwork is finished. Keep your badge safe, keep your gun safe, and don't lose them."

"Take the next two days to look over the files and familiarize yourself with the situation. Get ready; the mission will start soon."

Sean nodded. "Okay."

Maggie stood up, picked up the file folder, and walked to the door.

She stopped and said without looking back, "And... don't die out there."

She pushed open the door and walked out.

Omar stood up as well, walked over to Sean, and patted him on the shoulder. "Officer Blake, you're quite an interesting person."

"Agent Bell is just like that—tough talk but a soft heart. What she said just now wasn't directed at you; she's just not used to people who get in through connections..."

Omar looked at him, a hint of approval in his gentle eyes.

"What you said just now was very good. Low-key, humble, and not putting on airs. Agent Bell responds well to that."

"But talk is useless; you have to do. Once the mission is done well, she will naturally recognize you."

Clearly... Omar's attitude toward Sean was quite good.

After offering those few words of comfort, he followed Maggie out.
