The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

[Hint: Scorched virus (fourth ring). Complete the world's core. Mission time limit: 1 hour. Mission failure penalty: Randomly deduct 10 attribute points. ]

[Hint: The world's core fragments have been sent to the inventory. ]

This mission came a little strangely. How did the scorched virus jump to the world's core all of a sudden?

Marvin opened the task bar and took out a transparent sphere the size of an apple from it.

The sphere looked like glass, with a very thin and extremely smooth shell. A rice-sized white crystal was suspended in the core of the sphere.

The crystal emitted a hazy white light, mysterious and fantastic...

Marvin's mind was a little dazed and he came back to his senses, muttering to himself: "The world's core... This mission is not simple, no wonder it's so long..."

He was using low-light vision at this moment, and the light of the fragments was a little dazzling, so he simply canceled the magic and lit up an illumination spell.

Only then did he find a bottomless cave in the deepest part of the cave. The cave wall was very smooth, and it didn't look like it was dug out.

[Hint: The world's core was found and is being completed. Please stay in your current position. The repair process is expected to take 45 minutes. ]

The deep cave gradually lit up with white light, getting brighter and brighter.

A hazy huge ball of light slowly rose, and finally stopped at a height of one meter above the ground, quietly floating.

Marvin squinted his eyes and vaguely saw a white crystal the size of a winter melon inside the light ball. The whole was diamond-shaped but had countless small cross-sections.

The ball in his left hand broke away from his palm and floated towards the diamond-shaped crystal.

Snap, the sphere outside the fragments shattered, and the rice-sized fragments merged into the white light, and the position could no longer be distinguished.

Marvin was really curious and asked in his heart: "What is this world core and this task?"

[The temporary contractor has insufficient authority. ]

Well, he was too lazy to ask again.

Time passed little by little...

[Hint: The world core has been successfully completed. ]

The light ball slowly sank into the cave, and the light went out.

[Task reminder: "Corpse Virus (Fourth Ring)" has been completed. The reward will be settled after all links are completed. ]

[Hint: Mission: Scorched Corpse Virus (fifth ring). Re-encapsulate the world, the encapsulation time is 2 hours, and make sure that no intelligent creatures approach the world core during the encapsulation period. Mission time limit: 2 hours. Mission failure penalty: random deduction of 20 attribute points. ]

[Hint: The world encapsulation tool has been sent to the inventory. ]

Marvin took out three silver metal cylinders that were as thick as sugarcane and half a meter long from the inventory, and inserted them into the outer edge of the deep pit according to the prompts.

Crack, crack, crack...

The three metal cylinders sank into the ground with a sound of crushed stones.

Marvin retreated more than ten meters according to the prompts.

Buzz~~~

The power of space surged, and an arc-shaped light curtain instantly unfolded, across the deep pit.

Marvin looked around, this should be a cylindrical light curtain, which completely surrounded the world core that sank into the ground.

Marvin didn't know how high this cylinder was, nor how deep it went into the ground.

He tried the hardness of the light curtain, and it seemed difficult for him to break it.

Then why did he need to guard it?

However, the mission is the mission, and he can only stay outside the light curtain and sit cross-legged for shallow meditation.

This skill developed in the East District Prison is getting more and more useful. During shallow meditation, hearing and touch will be greatly enhanced, even the sixth sense will be greatly enhanced, and it will not be easily tired, which is very useful for alert.

Before entering meditation, he also contacted Modus outside the cave to let it strengthen its alert.

Until the end of 2 hours, nothing came to disturb, and Modus did not find any abnormalities.

[Task prompt: "Scorch virus" has been completed. Calculating the task evaluation...]

[Tip: Please leave the cave immediately! ]

This bright yellow prompt was repeated 3 times, and Marvin was very obedient and ran away.

Before he ran out of the mine, there was a loud rumble behind him.

Smoke and dust poured out from behind him, and gravel fell on his leather clothes and helmet with crackling and ding-dong.

Marvin looked back and continued to run wildly.

Fortunately, the mine did not collapse, but only the scorch beast's nest collapsed.

Marvin guessed that this was all due to the three metal cylinders.

Everything about the core of the world was buried deep underground, and the people of this world knew nothing about it.

[Tip: Do not reveal any information about the "core of the world" to any creature, otherwise you will be executed. ]

Sure enough!

Marvin had no doubt that the learning machine had the ability to execute him remotely, and he didn't even think about trying it.

[Task prompt: "Corpse Virus" has been completed. Task evaluation: B+, reward free attribute points +19, reward ability points +12, reward PR +1380. ]

He has been doing this broken task for almost 2 months. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult. Why is it only B+?

Many details are hard to figure out, but I can only figure it out. The learning machine has no response.

I don't want to think about it anymore. I only slept for 3 hours in the evening. It's already early morning now. I'm sleepy.

...

The next day, get up, wash, lie down and add points.

There are two missions left in the wasteland world, the White Spring Bunker and Gunter O'Dimm's debt collection. He also has a private mission of "stealing nuclear bombs".

The White Springs Bunker is ready for harvesting, and will be leaving Appalachia soon anyway. Everything that needed to be exposed was exposed yesterday, and he didn't want to continue arguing with others.

With Modus, Marvin has a good chance of getting that idiot president.

Therefore, it is no accident that he will leave the wasteland world soon, and it is time for his magic ability to explode.

And so, there’s nothing wrong with being more energetic.

In the past month, Marvin's mental attributes naturally increased by 1 point, so his mental attributes reached 55.

For the same reason, ability points are stored to increase magic, and firearm proficiency is not even bothered to be added.

In the morning, he adapted to the skyrocketing physical attributes, and in the afternoon he read, studied, and performed experiments. Marvin didn't go out all day, so naturally he didn't know the follow-up activities of several forces.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, it has nothing to do with him anymore.

On the contrary, the learning machine gave him a lot of information. The reason was that after completing the "Radiation Corpse Virus" mission, he obtained temporary permissions.

According to the "Initial Regulations", the wasteland world was originally a world belonging to the learning machine, but due to some reasons it lost part of its ownership rights.

What are the initial regulations? He has insufficient authority.

One of the purposes of bringing Marvin into this world is to recapture the fragments of the world's core, complete the world's core, and then re-encapsulate the world and determine its ownership.

As for why a learning machine can own a world? Why lose some ownership rights again?

Marvin has insufficient authority.

But there is an answer to why the core of the world was broken.

Because part of the ownership rights were lost, the nuclear shield protecting the world was incomplete, and because the core of the world was actually very "fragile." During the nuclear war, the super-large-yield nuclear bomb that hit the cranberry bog shattered the core of the world underground.

Over the next few years, the core of the world slowly repaired itself, and most of the fragments were re-healed, except for a small piece.

The mutated bat numbered G10845 accidentally swallowed this piece of rice-sized fragment, starting a unique path of mutation.

G10845, who formed the tribe, found the core of the world buried deep underground and slept beside it all year round. This caused it to grow beyond the world's upper limit.

Logically speaking, if it does not die and maintains this state of existence, it can even grow to the original upper limit of this world, which is the middle level of the second level, and its peak physical attributes can grow to around 70.

…

The third day.

Marvin first visited the White Spring Bunker and made a copy of all the nuclear bomb-related information.

Then, find the core server and data array on the fourth floor of the bunker and submit.

He also hurriedly left the bunker before it was completely paralyzed and locked the exit so that no one could enter this miserable place in the future.

[Tip: Submission successful. 】

[Task tip: "Baiquan Bunker" has been completed. Calculating task evaluation...]

[Task tip: "Baiquan Bunker" has been completed. Mission rating: S. Reward free attribute points +12, ability points +10, RP +1200. 】

Marven was confused, why was he given an S-level rating so suddenly?

He sat on the roof of the Baiquan Resort Garbage Station, looking at the sky and the ground for a while, a little confused.

So while flipping through the reminder records, I recalled the details of several tasks.

Seems like a time limit? Did the Radiation Corpse Virus mission take too long?

But there's nothing he can do. Without mana, his combat power has plummeted. He can't just run away and die, right?

Think again...

It seems, seems, maybe, maybe... it's because the NPC helped?

In the Swan Man mission, John McCarron helped a little in the early stage, but stopped participating in the later stage. The evaluation is A.

Eastside Prison, the Vault Boys participated, rated B.

Radiation Corpse Virus, rated B+.

In the White Spring Bunker, although Letty Hartman and her team were also there, everything was done by Marvin himself. The rating was S.

It seems to be true!

But there is another possibility. In the mission of Baiquan Bunker, Marvin did not follow the requirements of artificial intelligence to increase points, but chose another faster but more risky path.

Perhaps it was the combination of two reasons that raised the rating of this mission to S.

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, let’s try it again in future missions.

After closing the learning machine interface and jumping from the roof, Marvin walked towards the Hartman team's stronghold.

When no one was looking, he left the disk and note in the watchtower and turned around to leave.

"Vault 76:

I'm leaving Appalachia and heading back to Boston.

——Marvin Goidema”

It's quite annoying to go back to the underground base and add more points.

After getting used to it a little, Marvin fell asleep. If he had something to do at night, he had to replenish his energy first.

…

The Thunder Mountain Power Plant is located to the east and south of the Pumpkin House. It is the Pumpkin House where Marvin first encountered the Scorched Corpse Beast, in the northern part of the Quagmire area. (Chapter 30 of this volume)

This is a large hybrid power plant that can generate thermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power, and is very famous in Appalachia.

As coal resources are exhausted, thermal power generation collapsed first.

During the nuclear war, the reservoir was destroyed and hydroelectric power generation was gone.

Now only nuclear power generation can be used.

After the Brotherhood of Steel occupied the Thunder Mountain Power Plant, they repaired the nuclear generators and transmission lines and restarted the reactor. Let this power plant supply power to the resistance fortress and 7 forward bases.

Now that the threat of the scorched beasts has disappeared, Marvin will naturally not let this power plant go.

In addition, the Brotherhood will probably start the ultimate task they set for themselves, which is to recycle all "dangerous" technologies.

As for what technology is "dangerous"? Which ones can be used by people? It is entirely up to them.

The Brotherhood of Steel has made some weird self-contradictory cases because of this.

Their tough attitude is bound to form more and more prominent contradictions with other forces.

Then find something for them to do in advance...

In the evening, Marvin teleported to the Pumpkin House and released Modus to act as an outpost in the air.

The Pumpkin House, which had not been seen for a long time, was still the same, with a damaged two-story wooden building and various pumpkin lanterns piled up on a whole wall.

Instead of following the road, he went into the dense jungle at the foot of the mountain and moved quickly to the southeast.

The terrain began to go down, the ground of the jungle was wet and waterlogged, and he officially entered the mud pit area.

The dark clouds in the sky were very low, and the afterglow of the sunset could be seen before. After entering the mud pit area, the environment immediately became dark.

The humid air was almost condensed into mist, and coupled with the ubiquitous stench in the jungle, the smell was simply terrible.

There was nothing Marvin needed here, so this was his first time to step into the mud pit area, and he probably wouldn't come again in the future.

More than an hour later, Marvin stood on the viaduct, looking at the picture shared by Modus. The Thunder Mountain Power Plant was just under the bridge to his east.

On the side of the road near the power plant is the main gate, where Brotherhood soldiers are stationed. There is a parking lot and a guardhouse inside the gate.

To the east of the parking lot is a north-south factory road, which divides the factory area into two parts, east and west.

The slightly smaller west side should be the office area, while the east side is a closed and solid cement factory building, and further east are huge tall chimneys and white cooling towers.

The factory area is surrounded by barbed wire and tall sentry boxes.

It was already dark, and the quagmire area was covered with clouds all year round, making the environment even darker.

After another 2 hours, the lights in the factory area went out one by one, and only the moving flashlights could be seen on the road. They were sentinels patrolling at night.

The sentry box inside the barbed wire cast a spotlight, sweeping the surrounding ground regularly.

Marvin changed his clothes on the viaduct, replacing his iconic Ranger armor with tattered clothes and leather armor, and covered with a simple hood made of sacks. He looked like the most common poor B looters in the wasteland.

Everything was ready, he followed the road to the north, and then jumped off the viaduct. Taking advantage of the gap between the searchlights, he climbed over the barbed wire on the north side and entered the factory area.

Marvin was not proficient in stealth, but he had aerial reconnaissance and was fast enough, so this defense was almost the same as having nothing at the moment.

The Invisible Boy and the Dark Curtain could not make it completely invisible, and he did not expect this method to be able to deceive the alert Brotherhood soldiers.

But he still had magic.

Although the effect of "Mind Bewitching" was very weak, it was also magic and could be cast instantly.

With his current mental attributes, even if he used mental magic that he was not good at, it was still a crushing blow, and he could confuse the opponent for more than ten seconds each time. But he could not cast the spell on the same target multiple times, which was easy to overturn.

If "Mind Bewitching" still had some skills, then "Mind Shock" was simply a crushing attribute, and it was not even a magic spell.

A mental shock that was instantly cast by a glance was enough to make ordinary people unconscious for a long time, really killing a child at a time.

Marvin did not plan to kill anyone this time.

He hated the stubbornness and prejudice of the Brotherhood of Steel, but that was a problem of the Brotherhood's top brass and the entire power.

He also admired the courage and fearlessness of the Brotherhood's soldiers in the face of powerful enemies.

He could still tell the difference between imposing overall problems on individuals at the bottom.

It took an hour to find the core reactor. Marvin did not give anyone a chance to shoot or warn. He successfully contained the nuclear reactor and turned away.

[Hint: The energy facility was successfully contained, and the reward was +7 free attribute points, +1 ability point, 12% expansion of inventory space, and 950 RP points. ]

He had slept enough during the day, and he was not ready to go back so early. There was still a power plant to explore.

The Momongo Power Plant was located on the other side of the mountain west of the Atlas Observatory. The straight-line distance was very close, but it was a bit far to go around the mountain.

It was already 3 hours later when we arrived at the Momongo Power Plant along the winding mountain road.

Although Marvin was not afraid of any monsters, it was indeed a bit of a pit to travel in the dark.

The worst thing was that the nuclear reactor in the Momongo Power Plant leaked seriously and was completely hopeless.

Marvin walked around the power plant for an hour in X01 power armor before confirming this.

He crushed the head of the ghoul with one foot, put away the plasma Gatling gun, and left the power plant with heavy steps.

…

The next morning, the underground base of Lakeside Manor.
