The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

(Recommended background music for this chapter: "Heart of the Swarm" singer: Neal Acree.)

These days, Marvin has been renovating the underground base, and has moved the unused tables, chairs, and bottles and jars in the laboratory to the utility room.

He spent RP to buy a weapon workbench, a repair workbench, and a power armor workbench, and put them into the laboratory together with the existing armor workbench. He also moved the seized materials and power armor accessories in, and this will be his workshop in the future.

On the 6th day after the Banks team was wiped out, Marvin changed his clothes and went to the Foundation with a face mask. The air in the wasteland is not good, and it is not uncommon to see scavengers with their faces covered.

Thanks to the treatment needle, the only two wounded members of Banks team are almost healed.

Marvin was not in a hurry to clean up the trouble, because this place is too close to the Foundation.

It was not until the next day that the two packed up the CAMP and left westward.

Marvin followed them all the way, attacked them from behind the deserted hillside, and killed them without any surprise.

These two people didn't even know Banks' plan. They were marginal characters in the team and naturally couldn't contribute anything good.

CAMP is a construction tool developed by Shelter Technology, which is very magical.

CAMP can build floors, walls, roofs, stairs, doors and windows according to the drawings with Pip-Boy, and finally make these parts into a complete house.

CAMP can also build furniture, refrigerators, water pumps, water purifiers, walls, fences, etc. It also has a small warehouse for storing things.

CAMP is an advanced equipment specially equipped for Shelter 76, which can be put away and taken away. Note ①

The workshop is an earlier model, with similar functions to CAMP, but it cannot be moved.

On the morning of the 11th day after the Banks team was wiped out, Marvin packed up and teleported to the Poseidon Energy Plant. He plans to conquer this place today to see how to complete the "large energy facilities" part of the learning machine mission.

The appearance of Poseidon Energy is several huge cement boxes next to each other, with a white cooling tower next to it.

The six metal doors on the front can no longer be opened due to system failure and rust problems.

A freight lift door on the right side of the factory was stuck by an overturned truck and was not closed tightly, so you can enter the factory from here. Note ②

He blew up all the machine gun turrets he could see on the periphery, cleared the newly appeared monsters, and then walked to the door to release the T60 power mecha.

Compared with the other T51, although the T60 has slightly worse defense capabilities, it has better radiation protection performance.

Click, squeak~, click, the back cover of the mecha closed, the metal fingers clenched into fists, and then loosened one by one, reaching into the space crack and pulling out a mini laser machine gun.

Listening to the breathing sound echoing in the helmet, Marvin bent down and got into the lift door, starting his first power armor combat.

[Environmental Radiation Value: 6]

Because of the protection of the power armor and taking anti-radiation in advance, he did not feel any discomfort.

A nuclear power plant that was barely still operating automatically, with some lights on inside, the environment was not dark.

There were crates scattered on rows of huge shelves, and two scrapped container trucks were parked in the parking space. This should be the freight area.

There was an office room on the right, and a few wandering ghouls could be seen through the glass window.

He was not interested in a meaningless battle, so he turned and walked towards the door leading to the factory.

There were countless machines, complex suspended passages and stairs in the factory. Marvin was a little confused for a while, and had no idea where to go. He could only look aimlessly...

Zizizizi...

In the dim metal passage, the laser generator rotated at high speed, and the continuous laser beams reflected the front of the armor in red.

Dang, dangdang... The enemy's counterattack bullets hit the thick breastplate, and sparks burst out.

In less than 10 seconds, the three scorched men were burned into a pile of ashes by the laser beam.

This feeling of ignoring bullets and fighting with firepower is really cool. No wonder Rey is obsessed with power armor.

Marvin would not be fooled by such false power. It was not his own power, and it was not his own after all. He believed that one day, his physical defense alone would be stronger than the power armor...

Finally, the complete map was found in the office at the end of the metal passage.

He was in workshop 5, and he needed to pass workshops 3 and 1 to reach the main control room, and then enter the core area from another exit of the main control room.

…

[Environmental Radiation Value: 11]

A beam of light swayed in the dim factory.

Snap, snap...

A big metal foot stepped into the puddles, and the T60 power armor walked out from the gap between the two machines.

"Uh ah..."

A crazy ghoul with green light all over his body suddenly jumped out from the side, and his dirty claws grabbed the armor and made a harsh creaking sound.

The environmental radiation value rose rapidly to 18.

Marvin swung the machine gun and overturned the ghoul.

Click, one foot stepped on the monster's left leg, and the other foot hit its chest.

Wuu, bang, the fluorescent corpse left one leg behind, spinning and smashing against the distant wall, and the laser machine gun began to rotate at high speed.

At this moment, Marvin felt a shove on his back, and the power armor also prompted that his back was attacked.

The machine gun did not stop shooting, Marvin turned around and took a look, glimpsing a dark and dry arm.

The back armor was not so easy to break, but the fluorescent corpse in front of him was difficult to kill.

It took nearly a hundred laser rays to burn the green-emitting ghoul to ashes. He turned around to face the attack from behind.

The light from the headlight shines on a rotten face, with one eyeball hanging out of its socket. It is a crazy ghoul wearing a hard hat.

Most of the corpses in this nuclear power plant have the clothes of technical workers left on their bodies. It seems that they are all workers here.

Marvin kicked the monster away, threw the laser machine gun into the inventory, and walked straight towards the ghoul who stood up again.

Snap, the metal fist smashed into the skull of the mad zombie.

With a click, the suddenly opened palm directly shattered the monster's skull.

He grabbed the exposed cervical vertebrae, put his backhand on the machine on the side, and kicked his lumbar vertebrae into pieces.

Marvin looked at the monster's corpse and gasped for breath.

His physical strength is not consumed in fighting the enemy, but in fighting the armor.

Marvin now has an agility of 32, but the agility that the power armor can exert is less than 15.

He couldn't resist the power of the armor now, and even if he could, he wouldn't dare. How could he continue deep into the nuclear power plant if his armor was broken?

Therefore, he was in trouble that his eyes could see, his nerves could respond, but his body movements could not keep up.

On the other hand, hearing and vision are also greatly limited. If he wasn't wearing power armor, he wouldn't have been hit by the clumsy sneak attack from behind just now.

…

Just stumbling forward while fighting, with more than 400 rounds left in the third fusion core, Marvin found the main control room.

After breaking open the rusty metal door, he found that it was quite bright inside. Except for the messy chairs, paper documents scattered everywhere, and three skeletons, everything was fine.

The densely packed indicator lights on the cabinet flashed alternately, and most of the overhead lights were on.

A monitor with a "Master Control Terminal" nameplate:

"Poseidon Energy Power Plant. Core Reactor: Shutdown. Start?"

Of course he won't start it, but will look for the map and access code of the core area.

Looking back at the cabinets in the room, Marvin left the main control room and would have to come back soon.

Following the map route, I found the security door leading to the core factory building. I entered the access code on the wall-mounted terminal nearby, and the security door opened.

Entering the safe passage, the power armor went through an automated process of dust removal, cleaning, radiation elimination and drying, and finally arrived at the core part of the nuclear power plant.

[Environmental radiation value: 3]

There are two rows of tables and chairs in the huge control room, with terminals on the tables. Through the curved glass windows, you can see the huge hemispherical building and densely packed machinery and equipment on the other side.

[Tip: A large nuclear fission reactor has been detected nearby. The reactor size and spatial coordinates are being calculated. Please maintain your current location. The calculation time is estimated to be 5 minutes. 】

…

[Tip: The scale and spatial coordinates of the nuclear reactor have been confirmed. Please evacuate 500 meters away from the current location. Containment procedures will be initiated in 30 minutes. 】

Then, a 30-minute countdown appeared in front of him.

Marvin turned and left.

Who knows what kind of operation "containment" is, directly poaching a space, or a more terrifying method?

To be on the safe side, he retreated to the cargo area and didn't stop.

[Tip: The containment procedure is in progress and is expected to take 10 minutes. 】

…

[Tip: The large energy facility has been successfully contained, and the reward is being calculated...]

[Tip: Successful containment of large energy facilities will reward free attribute points +24, ability points +2, inventory space expanded by 30%, and RP points of 2120. 】

This is called a wave of fatness!

Be it guns or powered armor, they are all external forces. Only attribute points and ability points are the rewards that truly improve oneself.

Marvin suppressed his excited heart and trembling hands, and his curiosity arose. How is the nuclear reactor contained?

Returning to the security gate along the same route, nothing changed except that there were a lot fewer lights. However, the door in front of me could not be opened, and the wall-mounted terminal next to it did not respond.

The door and wall were very strong. He worked for a while and only scraped off a bit of cement dust.

Yes, Bai was curious.

Returning to the main control room, everything remains the same. The main control terminal shows that the status of the core reactor of the power plant is...offline.

The learning machine really moved such a large nuclear reactor!

The environmental radiation value of the main control room is not high, only 6. He shed his power armor and touched the cabinet.

[Tip: Found the server unit, do you want to submit it? 】【whether】

Select Yes.

[Tip: The submission is successful and you will be rewarded with 120 RP points. 】

After gaining a total of 860 RP points, Marvin turned off the panel, put on his power armor with satisfaction and left Poseidon Energy.

…

Returning to the underground base, I received a shot of radionixin and a therapeutic shot to treat the radiation damage I suffered while in the nuclear power plant.

Despite the protection of power armor, the harm of nuclear radiation to the human body cannot be completely avoided.

After resting for an hour and replenishing food and water, he adjusted himself, lay flat on the bed, and started adding more.

【property】

[Name: Maven Goidemar]

[Race: Mixed-race human]

[Gender: Male]

[Status: normal]

[Energy (Chaos Magic Energy): 1368/1368]

[Strength: 34→38 View introduction]

[Agility: 35→40 View introduction]

[Physique: 37→45 View profile]

[Perception: 34→40 View Profile]

[Spirit: 37→38 View Profile]

In the wasteland, having a good physique is better than anything else.

Whether it is tolerance to harsh environments or resistance to radiation, he is much stronger than wasteland residents and shelter people, because of his high physical attributes.

In the wasteland, guns are used much more often than knives, so the importance of perception is self-evident.

As for other attributes, they are obsessive-compulsive.

Only half of the learning machine mission has been completed, and there is no clue about Gaunt O'Dimm's mission. He doesn't know how long he will stay in the wasteland, so he has to survive first.

He gave 2 ability points to gun mastery.

[Gun Mastery: 10 + (When using live ammunition and energy guns, accuracy increases by 50%, stability increases by 50%, physical strength consumption -10%, easier to learn gun knowledge. The next upgrade requires 2 ability points.)]

After the points were added, Marvin's guns were indeed better than before. The revolver was almost accurate within 30 meters, and the combat rifle was more accurate than before, whether it was 2 short bursts or 5 long bursts at a distance of about 100 meters.

Sniper rifles cannot be tested in underground bases, so we need to wait until later.

The biggest and most obvious change in physical fitness is that he has abundant physical strength. He trained for 3 hours in a huge training room with complex terrain according to habit and was still energetic. Before the points were added, he had to rest after 1 hour of basic training, otherwise he would feel obvious muscle fatigue.

The firmness of the body has also been greatly improved. A small-caliber iron pipe pistol directly hit the arm, but it could only cause a blood spot, and it healed in a few minutes.

The improvement of physical fitness also brought some small troubles. Marvin could not use the treatment needles and radiation-removing drugs obtained from the wasteland because the needles could not penetrate. Only the treatment needles and radiation-removing drugs produced by the learning machine could successfully penetrate the muscles and veins.

The effect of perception improvement is also obvious. He now has the confidence to cut small-caliber bullets, such as 10mm pistols.

The young Marvin is still in the stage of rapid development of mental power, but because of the extremely poor magic energy environment in the wasteland and the decline in magic usage, his mental power has only increased by 1 point naturally after so long.

This made him very helpless, and he didn't know when he could complete the tasks of the learning machine and Gaunt O'Dimm.

Note ①: CAMP and workshop are the most interesting settings and gameplay after Fallout 4, but they are also the most unscientific technologies.

Note ②: In the Fallout 76 game, there are many funny modeling bugs in the buildings of the Poseidon Energy Plant. If you are interested, you can Baidu. Speaking of this, I mainly want to complain, so you can skip it. Many players said that there are indeed problems with the air wall and map of Black Myth Wukong. But this is the first time that Youke has made such a large-scale stand-alone game. Isn't it normal to have problems? What's more, such trivial problems? The first college student in the village went to Peking University. What else do you want? Anyway, Black Monkey is my personal game of the year, and I will not accept any rebuttal.
