The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 4 Mysterious Lady
The next morning, Marvin knocked on the supervisor's door and handed over the monster claw.
The middle-aged woman looked at it curiously, and then exclaimed: "God, did you really do it? Is it really you alone?"
Marvin didn't bother to answer the meaningless question. He said, "You can tell me your second request."
The supervisor pinched the paw with two fingers in slight disgust and tried hard, but did not pick it up.
Although Marvin only used one hand to hold the claw that was chopped off at the wrist, this thing was actually not light.
The middle-aged woman finally used two hands to hold the stump of the Deathclaw and let the door open. She did not mention the second task, but asked instead: "How did you do it with such a neat cross section?"
Marvin sighed slightly in his heart and was tempted again. People who can survive in the wasteland are indeed cautious enough.
Fortunately, he is also very cautious. He took off the gusset hanging from his waist, took out the knife from its sheath, held it horizontally in his hand and said, "I'm very good at using the knife."
The sharp blade reflected the light above the head. The supervisor squinted his eyes and looked at the beautiful long knife carefully, but did not continue to ask further questions. Because she had no idea about this, she could only believe Marvin's words for the time being.
She changed the subject: "Don't worry about the second one, I'll get your reward."
She asked Marvin to wait and went to the basement. After returning to the living room, she handed Marvin a yellow and white plastic card.
Marvin raised his right shoulder, where the bolt-action rifle slung.
"You already gave it."
"That's just an old gun, take it."
Marvin took the card, which looked like a disk.
"What should I make of this?"
The supervisor slapped his forehead: "Sorry, I forgot. Come with me."
Marvin followed the supervisor to a room on the second floor that looked like a study.
The woman opened the terminal in the room, entered the password, and inserted the disk into an opening.
"Just look here and click here to turn the page up and down. I'll print a paper copy for you."
Marvin raised his eyebrows. The password was not difficult to remember.
[Tip: The mission "Destroying the Death Claws" has been completed. Is there any reward for the reward book "Shelter Technology Weapon Workbench Operation Manual"? 】【whether】
Damn it, where does this learning machine operation come from...Choose yes.
The place was inappropriate, and Marvin no longer looked closely at the rewards of the learning machine.
He sat down and started looking at the drawings. After flipping through them all, the learning machine prompted.
[Tip: 10mm pistol blueprints and accessory accessories blueprints have been included. Industrial live ammunition firearms have been included, and 50 PR points are awarded. 】
[Tips: Drawings of bolt-action rifles and accessories have been included. Includes industrialized live ammunition firearms and rewards 50 PR points. 】
[Tips: Drawings of pump-action shotguns and accessories have been included. Includes industrialized live ammunition firearms and rewards 50 PR points. 】
Open the learning machine, and there are [Firearms] and [Ammunition] in the RP store.
Among them, a 10mm pistol costs 30RP, and various accessories range from 5 to 15RP. A bolt-action rifle costs 50RP, and accessories range from 5 to 50RP. A pump-action shotgun costs 40RP each, with accessories ranging from 5 to 15RP.
Pistol and rifle bullets are respectively 5RP100 rounds and 10RP100 rounds.
There are also various shotshells such as No. 10, No. 12, No. 16, No. 20, etc. All shotshells are 15RP100 rounds.
The place was inappropriate and he didn't look at it more.
Turning off the learning machine, Marvin tried to find if there was any other valuable information in the terminal.
However, he has only used WINXP, WIN10, and WIN11. He is really not good at these antiques without a mouse. He can't even do DOS.
When I returned to the first floor, I happened to meet the supervisor coming up from the basement. She handed over a roll of drawings, which were consistent with what she saw on the terminal.
"No problem. You are indeed a kind person. What about your next order?"
"Okay. In the past week, when residents of Sutton went out to scavenge, they reported that there were many violent moles attacking passers-by in the lakeside estate in the southwest. The responders also mentioned this, and I would like to trouble you to clean it up."
"Okay. How can I prove my results?"
"Hmm... I haven't thought about this yet... I heard they have huge teeth. Just bring back some mole teeth."
"No problem. It doesn't seem far away. I'll go over and have a look."
"Goodbye, Marvin."
[Task tip: Destroy the moles. The supervisor of Vault 76 asks you to eliminate the mole colony at Lakeside Manor. Do you want to accept this task? 】【whether】
Select Yes.
…
Sutton Town is larger than Pinglin Town. Currently, there are only a dozen residents who make a living by scavenging. They also plant some crops on the hillside.
These new residents gave the town a little more life, but Sutton still looked rundown and desolate.
After leaving the supervisor's house, Marvin ignored the vigilant and inquiring eyes of the town residents and walked straight to the southwest.
Where no one was, he took out the deathclaw's head from his inventory.
[Tip: If you find the remains of a modified creature, do you want to submit it? 】【whether】
Select Yes.
[Tip: Submission successful. Reward strength attribute +1, constitution attribute +2. 】
Marvin adjusted on the spot for more than half an hour before continuing on his way. He saw a huge manor hidden in the woods at the foot of a slope with dense vegetation. It was really huge. The family must have been extremely wealthy before the war.
After descending to the bottom of the slope, walking through the woods, and just climbing over the broken manor fence, he encountered what scavengers called a mole.
Not counting the tail, this thing is more than one meter long, with pink or dark red wrinkled skin wrapped around its fat body, hairless, and really big teeth. They are very good at digging holes, and will suddenly drill out from the ground behind them, chirping and wanting to bite people, very ferocious.
Marvin chopped with his knife and kicked hard, and killed four or five of them before he stopped.
He had to work hard after getting paid, so he circled the manor again and killed another nine moles, and only then did he clean up the area around the manor.
Marvin looked at the huge manor and thought... since I'm here, I have to go in and take a look.
The main door, side door, side door, and windows on the first and second floors of the manor were all sealed tightly. He didn't want to destroy it, just in case the house could be used.
The manor was surrounded by huge trees and had good confidentiality. There was no one around, so Marvin climbed the wall directly to the roof.
He actually found a way to get in on the roof, and a metal cover was not locked.
As soon as he entered the manor, he heard the sound of "hmmmm haha" everywhere in the house, crazy ghouls or scorched corpses, anyway, those things.
Marvin began to clean up one room at a time. He tried his best to follow the CQB tactics described in "Carls Tactical Shooting Method", but unfortunately the enemies did not cooperate very well.
They were not afraid of flash magic, nor would they fall to the ground because of a shot in the chest.
The monsters with guns in their hands fired randomly, and more monsters without weapons would rush over with their teeth and claws bared for a hug.
Before he had explored half of the third floor, he gave up the tactical requirements in the book, and his combat intuition was more reliable.
First, listen through the door to roughly judge the number of enemies.
Then, kick the door and fire 2 shots, dodge, and wait for the monsters to come out to die.
Finally, enter the door to clean up the remnants, search the room, go out, and go to the next room.
The battle process was both tense and boring...
Moreover, in the narrow room and corridor, the long sword is a bit difficult to use, but fortunately he still has a short sword.
In the middle of the battle, Marvin replaced his 10mm semi-automatic pistol with a .44 Magnum revolver.
He made a mistake. In a fierce gunfight, damage overflow is necessary. One shot is definitely faster than two shots.
But it is really troublesome to change bullets in a revolver, and there are not many .44 caliber bullets left, and the learning machine is not for sale.
…
After cleaning up all the crazy zombies and scorched corpses in the manor, his leather windbreaker had a few bullet holes and some skin injuries. This price is acceptable.
Marvin returned to a study on the third floor, where two terminals seemed to be turned on. Just now in the battle, he didn't take time to look carefully, and now he came back to confirm.
Sure enough, it was turned on. There is still electricity in this broken place!
He looked at the switch on the wall and couldn't help but try it. He would go downstairs later to try it. The windows on the third floor are transparent.
The terminal has no password, and Marvin can also find the content that can be viewed by simply pressing the up, down, left, and right keys, including some diaries, emails, etc.
He roughly figured out the story of this manor.
The mistress of the manor is Mrs. Shannon Rivers, the man is Frederick Rivers, and the daughter is Olivia Rivers.
The mistress is a voice actor, and her most famous role is a superhero called "Mysterious Lady".
Before the nuclear explosion, they received the news and prepared a lot of supplies in advance.
After the nuclear explosion, the radiation cloud covered the sky and lasted for years. The nuclear winter came...
Mrs. Rivers found that some bad guys began to do evil.
The superhero gene in her body awakened, and she put on the costume, took the weapons and the high-tech tools made by her husband and really became a "Mysterious Lady". Moreover, she also trained her daughter Olivia, and the mother and daughter played superhero role-playing games together. Note ①
The nuclear winter gradually passed, and a large number of refugees poured into Appalachia.
The Rivers family was indeed kind-hearted people, and took in many children, so there were a few more "mysterious little sisters" in the manor...
In the end, for unknown reasons, everyone in the manor died, and there was no follow-up story in the terminal.
During the investigation, he saw the same sentence four times: "Put on the mysterious veil and go to the reception room."
Marvin found the reception room, on the first floor. What is the mysterious veil?
He did not give up and began to search everywhere.
After more than an hour, he finally found the mysterious veil in a car in the garage on the first floor, because the two words "Mysterious Lady" were embroidered on this mask-like piece of cloth.
Marvin put on the lace mask and walked into the reception room with the mentality of giving it a try.
The wine cabinet opposite the fireplace slid open silently, and the metal security door at the back made a popping sound and opened.
He was shocked. This is the rhythm of going down to the bat cave.
After going down the stairs and turning a corner, there are two layers of laser grilles. As Marvin, no, as the veil approaches, the color of the laser grille changes from red to blue, and the indicator light on the side also changes from red to green.
Passing through the laser grille, a more solid security door slides open to both sides.
A female electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Welcome to the 'Mysterious Base', newcomer, please go to any terminal to register your identity information."
There are many computers in the base, and many high-tech equipment that are damaged but still look expensive. The indicator lights on the cabinets are flashing, and they are obviously turned on.
Marvin ignored the electronic voice prompts and turned around first.
There are conference rooms, medical rooms and a very complex and large training room. There is also a room whose door cannot be opened. Looking through the circular window, it looks like a research room.
When he touched the cabinet, the learning machine prompted.
[Tip: Found the server unit, do you want to submit it? 】【whether】
Don't worry, let's take a look.
The loudspeaker above his head reminded him to register his identity. Perhaps after registering, he would be able to enter through the door that could not be opened.
Marvin stood in front of the terminal, followed the prompts step by step, and finally became a glorious mysterious lady.
Well, the registration process does not require gender verification.
A woman's voice sounded, not electronically synthesized, but a real person recording: "Hello, dear, welcome to the Mysterious Church. I believe you must be nervous, it's okay, I know you have a lot of information to digest, but, girl They must have thought you were ready to bring you here. Eight years ago, I started training our adopted girls, teaching them to fight like the 'lady' I played in the radio show..."
After the voice finally finished the lengthy welcome speech, the door that couldn't be opened opened with a click.
There is another row of cabinets with flashing indicator lights and two terminals.
From the information on the terminal, Marvin determined that this was indeed a research room, used to study the mysterious lady's equipment. For example, bulletproof woven materials, special smoke bombs, stealth boys, various firearms, etc.
This is simply the female version of Batman. This family is indeed too rich.
It's a pity that Marvin can't play with the terminal here and can't produce these special equipment. The learning machine has no other response other than submitting to the server crew.
This place was a bit shabby, but it was confidential, spacious, and had electricity. Marvin immediately planned to abandon the safe house in Pinglin Town and move his family here.
Marvin couldn't take away these cabinets and the data inside. He first put his hand on the cabinet in the research room and kept choosing yes.
[Tip: If the submission is successful, you will be rewarded with 80 RP points. ]...A total of 400 RP points were awarded.
After all five cabinets in the research room disappeared, the learning machine prompted again.
[Tip: The computing power is being upgraded, please wait...]
Then the study shut down...
Ten minutes later, Marven's eyes flashed, and when he could see red bars, blue bars, yellow bars and the mini map again, he received the learning machine prompt again.
[Tip: The computing power is upgraded successfully, and the bonus attribute points are +5. 】
After that, there are a bunch of rewards for obtaining blueprints and recipes. There are 6 dietary recipes, with a reward of 120RP; 4 firearms blueprints, with a 200RP reward; ammunition recipes with no reward; 3 explosive weapon blueprints, with a 90RP reward; 1 armor blueprint and recipe, with a 60RP reward.
[Task Tips: Contain large server units, contain large energy facilities, and contain artificial intelligence hosts. This is a long-term mission in this world. The rewards will be calculated separately for each successful containment. 】
What is this?
Marvin knows about the mainframe computer, but does it exist in the wasteland? Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is, but where should I find it?
Collecting 10,000 terminals and connecting them together is pretty exciting, don't be so harsh.
How are energy facilities collected? Drilling a nuclear reactor? Doesn't that mean you have to die inside?
He doesn't even know where to find artificial intelligence.
Marvin flipped through the page of the learning machine helplessly, wanting to see if there were any other tips for this task, but found that there had been changes in the [RP Store].
[Diet] Added orange juice, watermelon juice, black tea, and coffee, all 2RP500ml.
[Firearms] Added: Magnum revolver at 35RP, accessories from 5 to 40RP; single-action revolver at 30RP, accessories from 5 to 25RP; battle rifle at 55RP, accessories from 10 to 30RP; double-barreled shotgun 30RP each, can be changed to handle and short tube, no accessories.
[Ammunition] added a lot of bullets that he didn't know what kind of gun he used, basically 5 to 20RP100 rounds. In addition, special ammunition and nuclear batteries have been added. A nuclear battery costs 20RP.
Newly added [explosive weapons]: fragmentation grenades cost 10 RP each, smoke bombs cost 15 RP each, and special poison smoke bombs cost 30 RP each.
New [drugs]: Treatment needle 20RP, Kangradining 10RP, Xiaoradining 12RP, Kangtongning 20RP, bandage 5RP per roll, medical gauze 5RP per roll, medical alcohol 10RP 500ml.
Added [Auxiliary]: Stealth Boy 30RP.
New [Armor]: Bulletproof woven material 50RP per square meter.
However, the learning machine's prompts are not over yet...
[Tip: Synchronizing local time, please wait...]
Ten seconds later, [Tip: Local time synchronization is successful, local time is 24 hours/day. 】
There is a time in the learning machine panel, 13:31:04. It was already past noon, and he didn't feel anything at all.
Marvin looked around his new base again and found another exit, in the cleaning tool room outside the manor.
The floor of the tool room can be opened, and there is an elevator inside that leads directly to the underground base. Perfect, no need to walk on the roof, but you still have to put on that mysterious veil every time you come in.
After joining the "Mysterious Church", a reminder sounded asking him to perform some tasks, but Marvin ignored it and started his own decoration business.
Find a terminal that can control the power supply and cut off the power in the manor above. Move all the sundries and bedding from the safe house in Pinglin Town. Clean up all the waste in the base into a utility room, clean the medical room, transform the conference room into a bedroom, and leave the research room empty for the time being.
In the safe and secluded new base, Marvin lay on the big bed that had been converted from a conference table and began to add some points.
[Energy (Chaos Magic): 611/1296]
[Strength: 33→34 View Profile]
[Agility: 32→35 View Profile]
[Constitution: 35 View Profile]
[Perception: 32→34 View Profile]
[Spirit: 36 View Profile]
After adapting to the increased attributes, he began to play with guns in the huge underground training ground.
He spent 95RP to buy a Magnum revolver with modified grip, trigger and gun body materials. The most expensive is the 40RP gun body material. This is a must-buy gun at present, perfect for one-handed, powerful and accurate requirements. The only drawback is that the ammunition capacity is too small, and one cylinder can only hold 6 rounds.
After comparing it with the original one, he found that the original one was much worse, and he threw it in the inventory waiting to change the bottle cap.
The guns produced by the learning machine are better than those of the wasteland in terms of materials and craftsmanship.
He gritted his teeth and spent another 135RP to buy a battle rifle + optimized gun body + precision long barrel + red dot sight + micro bolt + 4 spare magazines.
What Marvin lacks now is continuous firepower at a distance of 30 to 150 meters, and the battle rifle is an effective supplement. Less than 30 meters can be solved with revolvers and close combat; more than 150 can be solved with bolt-action rifles.
After getting familiar with the battle rifle and the new pistol, he replenished 100RP of ammunition and 5 fragmentation grenades according to the planned combat method.
That's it for now, and I don't know when the next income will come.
After dinner, he still insisted on practicing swordsmanship, and then daily study and meditation. Today's study task is to read the "Shelter Technology Weapon Workbench Operation Manual".
Considering that there is less than half of the mana left in his body, and now he has a safe shelter and no worries about food, Marvin decided to stay at the base for two more days to at least restore his mana to more than 80%.
For the next two days, he stayed at the base reading books, practicing guns, and practicing swordsmanship. With excellent physical fitness as a foundation, his various tactical moves soon became well-produced.
…
Note ①: Boss Gao has to complain about the superhero sentiment of the beautiful Chinese people. They are really everywhere. Barbarian Guguna, Silver Stranger, Mysterious Lady, Manta, Magician… This has become a part of their culture. Maybe it is too far away from their culture. As I get older, I am more and more repulsed by superheroes… Personal opinion, you can criticize, but be gentle. The author said at the end of the chapter that there are superhero comics in the Fallout series of games.
