The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World

Marvin looked up at the broken billboard "Grafton Welcomes You" on the Grafton Municipal Building, and then looked down at the corpse of the super mutant on the roadside. It was really a warm welcome.

Pushing the door and entering the municipal building, there were no monsters or robots that fired randomly, probably all of them were killed by the green monsters.

In the mayor's office on the second floor, Marvin found the "mayor", a special machine painted red.

"Hello, citizen, how can I help you?"

The spherical part in the middle of the red machine flashed rhythmic light and played smooth electronic sounds.

"Are you the mayor?"

"To be precise, I am the mayor's assistant, acting mayor."

"Where is the original mayor?"

"Behind you, citizen."

Marvin turned around and saw a rather luxuriously decorated office cubicle opposite the red machine. A half-smoked cigar was placed on the ashtray, and a silver pocket watch and a family photo frame were placed on the upper right corner of the table.

A skeleton wearing a top hat and a tweed suit was lying on the table.

This should be the former mayor.

In order to verify the intelligence level of this AI, Marvin asked vaguely: "Why?"

"According to Article 249 of the Grafton Municipal Agreement, the mayor died unexpectedly. Before the next referendum of the municipal government, the mayor's assistant will temporarily serve as the mayor. So, I am the mayor now."

The next referendum in Grafton may never be held.

"Okay, Mr. Mayor, are you an artificial intelligence?"

"Yes, citizen, I was developed and produced by Roco Company and installed here in XXXX, responsible for assisting the mayor in handling Grafton municipal affairs."

Marvin decided to continue to test the intelligence level of the "mayor" with a question that he had been puzzled about for several days.

"What is the Grafton Monster?"

The Grafton Monster is a pale monster that Marvin once encountered near the Charleston train station, and he chopped it into a skeleton. (Chapter 5)

"The Grafton Monster is an urban legend that has been circulating in the neighborhood since the last century. It is said that it has a huge body, taller than a house, extremely powerful, and covered with muscles, but has no head. It specializes in hunting bears and wild deer in the wild."

"How does it eat without a head?"

"Sorry, citizen, this is beyond my understanding. It's just a legend."

To be precise, the monster that Marvin killed was not headless, but its head was buried in abnormally proliferating muscles. It should have been a human.

Marvin felt that this "mayor" was indeed quite intelligent. He touched the red machine, but the learning machine did not respond.

Although this red machine is not small, the AI ​​responsible for handling a city is probably not something that a machine of this size can carry.

Marvin asked: "Mr. Mayor, where is your AI body?"

"Sorry, citizen, you have no right to the answer to this question."

"Then let me put it another way. Is this machine just your external terminal?"

"Sorry, citizen, you have no right to the answer to this question."

Well, it seems to be a permission issue. This is not something he can solve.

Marvin began to look around the mayor's office, looking for a line.

According to the current situation in the wasteland, there is no condition or possibility to provide this artificial intelligence with a stable and sufficient bandwidth wireless network.

This terminal can still process human-computer dialogue so clearly and quickly after a nuclear war, which means that its server must be not far from this terminal, and it must be connected by wire.

Marvin also thought about threatening it by cutting off the network and power, but he thought this idea was stupid, so it was more reliable to follow the data line.

He removed a few iron bars from the fence outside the building and returned to the mayor's office.

He started from the gap behind the red machine against the wall and began to pry. Generally, the wiring will go behind the machine.

"Citizen! You are performing dangerous operations. Please stop destroying municipal property immediately, otherwise I will call for security measures!"

Marvin ignored it and continued to pry.

With a crackling sound, the machine and the wall separated, and there were indeed two very thick cables behind it leading to the wall.

It's a bit of a trick to run the wiring directly inside the wall.

Marvin walked out of the municipal building and recorded the spatial coordinates.

Just as he was about to teleport away, he heard voices coming from afar, and immediately teleported to the rooftop to hide his body and look over.

A group of nearly 20 people crossed the road and walked into the police station. Among them were the one-eyed man named John McCarron and several other people he had met before, as well as two power armors.

McCarron and his team must have met reinforcements on their way back and turned back. These people were probably from the crater.

The other party was probably back to find him. Although there was a high possibility of good intentions, what if it was malicious?

As I said, this is a wasteland. They were a group of looters.

Marvin jumped over the rooftops and hid on the rooftop opposite the police station. There were people left behind at the door of the police station. This group of people was very professional.

After a while, the group of people came out.

The leader was a woman with a crew cut. She frowned and asked, "Did he really do it alone?"

McCallum hung his left arm on his neck and answered, "Yes, I've seen it. There are only three types of wounds on the green monsters: 5.56mm bullets, large-caliber sniper bullets, and knife wounds. There were only his footprints around. That guy is very skilled."

The woman with a crew cut asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

"He has a lot of secrets..."

The buzz cut woman waved her hand impatiently to interrupt: "Nonsense! Who doesn't have some secrets? If everyone has to find out, how can I survive? Let's get to the point."

McCallum grinned and said, "Yes, I think we can make friends."

"Meg Boss" Tal, who was wearing a work jacket, interrupted, "I think he's a good guy."

"Okay, then bring him here when there's a chance. I haven't seen such a powerful guy for a long time..."

Understanding the other party's attitude, Marvin stepped back a few steps, jumped down from the back of the house, took off his gas mask, and walked over from the main road.

When he turned the corner, he raised his voice and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

A bunch of guns pointed at him.

Marvin spread his hands to indicate that he didn't have a weapon. He was in the corner, and even if someone fired a gun, he could hide and evacuate in time.

"Don't shoot! Meg, he's the one."

The buzz cut woman waved her hand to let everyone put down their guns and walked straight over.

The woman was very tall, almost as tall as Marvin. She looked directly at the white-haired young man and said, "Meg from the crater, you saved my friend, how can I repay you?"

"Marvin Geidema, bounty hunter."

Meg raised her eyebrows and said with interest, "So old-fashioned? I'm starting to like you, kid. Then follow your rules, 500 bottle caps, come to me next time you come to the crater to get it."

"Okay."

The other party's reinforcements arrived so quickly, and it is very likely that Marvin is not needed to save them. If it were a stingy person, he would never ask for a reward, but Meg made a very happy offer.

Marvin would naturally not be polite, after all, it was indeed he who saved the man, although it was done casually.

John McCarron walked over and said, "Be sure to come, I said I owe you one."

Marvin nodded, "Okay."

Meg is a very cold person. Without continuing the small talk, she turned around to arrange the follow-up matters.

McAllen seemed to remember something and turned to greet him: "Tal, tell me about your problem and see if Marvin can help you."

Tal has his own way of survival. When communicating with combatants who are not his own, he always hides behind. In case of a conflict, with his small body, he may be injured by mistake and lose his arms and legs.

Only after hearing the greeting did he walk out of the crowd and ask the one-eyed man: "Can he solve it?"

"Try it, who knows when those people in the shelter will come back."

McAllen really thinks Marvin has the ability to solve Tal's problem. From the temperament alone, Marvin looks much more educated than those boys in the shelter.

Tal cleared his throat and said: "In short, I need a KMI-8789 signal amplifier, a product of Roco."

Marvin frowned and asked: "Signal amplifier? Wired network or wireless network?"

"Fuck! Damn it!" Tal cursed excitedly, "Finally someone can understand what I am saying."

He grabbed Marvin's hand and shook it hard. Marvin resisted and didn't hide.

"Wired, wired. Fuck! There's a big red capacitor on the back, right? Can you find it? I really, really need it..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Marvin pulled his hand back and said, "Tal, right? I'm a gun guy, you can't just tell me a model and ask me to find it, that's impossible."

"Oh, right, right." Tal rummaged in his overalls and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, "Luckily those green monsters didn't take this."

He flattened the paper, handed it to Marvin and said, "Find it here."

This is an oblique view of an electronic component, a 9.8 cm long and 6.4 cm wide circuit board, which Marvin seemed to have seen in his underground base. Note ①

"I've seen it in the communication cabinet. It shouldn't be hard to find, but I don't know where to find a good one. Do you have any recommended locations?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Tal handed over another note, which read:

Broadcasting room at Willard Water Park (lots of scorched corpses)

Morgantown Airport (unclear about the exact room, lots of scorched corpses)

Atlas Observatory (there's the Brotherhood of Steel there, might be hard to deal with)

Eastern District Prison (unclear about the exact room, lots of ghouls)

When he saw the last location, Marvin remembered the news he had asked from Blue Super Shift. The Eastern District Prison is the prison that Super Shift mentioned. There is only one prison in Appalachia. But don't worry, the commission hasn't been settled yet.

He put away the two pieces of paper and said to Tal, "No problem, it's time to talk about my reward."

"400, if you find that damn signal amplifier, I'll pay you 400 bottle caps." Tal stretched out four fingers viciously and said, "I'm going crazy because of the broken communication system."

"Deal."

[Task prompt: Signal amplifier. Tal in the crater has entrusted you to find a KMI-8789 signal amplifier that is usable and lossless. Do you want to accept this task? 】【Yes】【No】

Choose Yes.

Marvin turned to the woman with a crew cut: "Meg. I think there is a piece of news you should know."

"Oh?" Meg came over and asked, "What news?"

Marvin pointed to the corpse of the super mutant in the distance and said: "About these monsters..."

He told Meg all the news he knew. As the largest force in the Toxic Valley, the other party would naturally be concerned about another force that suddenly appeared around them, especially a malicious force like the super mutant.

"Understood, I will send someone to investigate."

Meg would naturally not make a decision based on Marvin's one-sided words. The trust between the two sides is still very low, which is normal.

Seeing that Marvin had no intention of asking for information fees, she felt better and said, "It seems like you still have something to do here? Do you need help?"

"No. I can do it alone."

"Okay, see you later."

"Goodbye."

The two sides separated, and the people in the crater went to find the blue-skinned super-mutated corpse.

Meg and the others had only returned to Appalachia from the northeast for a few months, and this was the first time they had heard of blue super mutants in the east. Whether you are curious or looking for news, it is worth a look. Note②

Marvin left Grafton from another direction, initiated teleportation in a deserted place, and returned to the underground base.

A power hammer was found from a pile of spare weapons. This was a weapon seized from the super mutants entrenched in the hospital before clearing the "Hiccup Betty" mine. It had been kept in the base and had not been sold. (Chapter 6)

…

Marvin deliberately waited nearly an hour before returning to the Grafton Municipal Building and began smashing the wall.

Because he was strong enough and physically fit enough, it took him 2 hours to demolish it from the second floor to the first floor, and then from the first floor to the first floor.

After destroying 6 walls and 2 floors, I finally found the computer room located in the corner of the basement level by following the cables.

Putting away the power hammer, shaking his hands that were numb from the shock, Marvin jumped into the dark machine room.

There are 3 rows of 12 cabinets in the computer room and 4 terminals.

[Tip: An artificial intelligence host has been detected. Do you want to start the containment process? 】【whether】

Select Yes.

[Tip: The containment procedure will begin in 60 seconds, and the estimated execution time is 5 minutes. Please leave the current room. 】

After being advised to have a full meal, Marvin jumped up to the first floor and found a chair in the lobby to sit down and wait.

5 minutes later.

[Tip: The artificial intelligence host has been successfully contained and the reward is being calculated...]

[Tip: The artificial intelligence host is successfully contained and will be rewarded with +5 free attribute points, +7 ability points, and 370 RP points. 】

[Tip: Some functions will be upgraded soon. It is expected to take 30 minutes and will not be available during this period. Do you want to start the upgrade? 】【whether】

Compared with Poseidon Energy's time, the rewards this time were a bit less, and he was a little disappointed.

What does unavailable mean? How much impact does it have on yourself?

Marvin stretched his head and looked into the basement through the broken floor. As expected, all the cabinets disappeared, including the terminals and cables. I went to the second floor again, and the red machine was also turned off.

Due to the prompts from the learning machine, he did not wander outside, returned to the underground base, lay down, and clicked [Yes] on the prompts of the learning machine.

In a flash before his eyes, the blue health bar disappeared, and all the interfaces of the learning machine could not be opened. There was a prompt in front of him, so Marvin was not too worried.

Most of his strength was gained by studying, training, and killing enemies on his own. The learning machine only played a certain role in helping, and he was not afraid of the "disappearance" of the learning machine.

After waiting for 30 minutes with peace of mind, Ma Wen's eyes flashed again, and the health bar, blue bar, data, and mini-map appeared again.

[Tip: This upgrade optimizes and upgrades some functions. The upgrade content includes: adding more detailed physical condition analysis; refining abilities and functions; the map can mark points independently, and can classify and make notes on any place independently; provide brief data on known items within sight, and roughly analyze unknown items. Judgment; provides combat kill prompts to help determine whether the current enemy target is dead; a new visual recording function, which currently can only record text and drawing knowledge; a new memo function. 】【closure】

Marvin copied this paragraph and then looked at the interface of the learning machine according to this explanation.

【property】

[Perception: 40 View Introduction]

[Spirit: 38 View Introduction]

The status changed from normal to "slight radiation residue", and there was an additional "-1" in the constitution. Marvin gave himself a shot of Xiumin.

After waiting for a few minutes, the "-1" was still there, and the physical condition was still "slight radiation residue."

At first glance, the ability part has not changed much. Each spell under each magic branch has a branch level, but the level cannot be higher than the branch level.

The level of each magic spell only shows Marvin's understanding of this "skill", which can only be improved through continuous learning, research, and use.

Ice arrows have been reclassified into the element system and the level has reached 6.

The original swordsmanship (fusion) has been changed to swordsmanship proficiency, with a level of 14, and a more detailed description.

Other abilities have also been described in more detail and are associated with existing books.

The 6th level of meditation is accumulated over time, not caused by this upgrade.

In the [map], you can mark points at will, and there seems to be no upper limit. It is indeed possible to make text notes for any known location and the points you mark, and even associate the content in the learning machine, such as items, abilities, and books.

…

When checking the weapons, armor, medicine, food, and items in the [Inventory] in front of you, you can open an information pop-up window.

Weapons and drugs commonly used by Marvin, his estimated situation is similar to the displayed information.

The armor that Marvin has been using, which was seized and modified from the Wild Hunt Navigator, only displays vague quality and defense data.

[Unknown Breastplate]

Category: Chest Armor

Quality: Excellent (Green)

Defense: 43~52

Description: Chest armor made of unknown materials, metal and leather, and has been modified to a certain extent.

Marvin found 2 common parts in the wasteland from the armor he was going to sell.

[Combat Armor Breastplate]

Category: Chest Armor

Quality: Ordinary (White)

Defense: 35~44

Description: The chest part of the standard individual armor of the United States military before the war. The main body is composed of the third-generation military composite material, which can effectively resist physical damage and energy damage.

[Leather Shoulder Armor]

Category: Shoulder Armor

Quality: Ordinary (White)

Defense: 13~26

Description: The shoulder part of the leather armor developed by the wasteland residents after the nuclear war. It is made of radioactive deerskin, radioactive bear skin and other leathers pressed and sewn together. It has strong resistance to energy damage, but poor resistance to physical damage.

Marvin still didn't understand it a little. There was a sentence in the prompt "Make a rough judgment on unknown items."

He found a drug that he had a general understanding of but had never looked at and had no intention of using to test it.

[Jet]

Category: Biochemical Drug

Quality: Defective (Gray)

Description: Oral inhalation, a strong hallucinogen, can relieve pain and make the spirit excited. It is highly addictive. People with a physical fitness below 40 and a mental fitness below 60 who often take it will have side effects such as dementia, epilepsy, malaise, and decreased appetite.

Now Marvin is sure that the unknown items in "making a rough judgment on unknown items" refer to the unknown items of the learning machine, not the unknown items of himself.

So, where is the database of the learning machine? How to input data?

…

[Task], [Knowledge], [Books], [RP Store], these interfaces are indeed unchanged at present.

The newly added visual records are the text and drawings seen by the eyes, which can be added to the [Books] interface, and the title and content of the book can be modified.

The [Memo] interface has been added, which can be recorded at will by voice, text, and naked eye photography. Marvin has not found the record limit and expiration deletion instructions for the time being.

As for the "battle kill prompt", it cannot be verified in the underground base.

…

Marvin observed his two power armors, and the system regarded the entire power armor as a piece of armor.

[T60 Power Armor]

Category: Power Armor

Quality: Ordinary (White)

Defense: 55~83

Description: Single-soldier power armor developed by the United States military before the war. It is powered by a fusion core, uses mechanical hydraulic transmission and electronic chip control, and the armor part is a special alloy and energy protection coating. It includes dozens of subsystems such as action enhancement system, visual enhancement system, auxiliary aiming system, water resource recycling system, medical injection system, etc. Because the power system and transmission system are too primitive, the action ability and reaction speed of the mecha are greatly limited. Due to the lack of necessary non-visual perception units and electronic chip design defects, this model of mecha has little modification value and belongs to the primary power mecha.

[T51B Power Armor]

Category: Power Mecha

Quality: Ordinary (White)

Defense: 59~87

For the two models of power armor, the description of the learning machine is almost the same, and it can be summed up in two words: "bad chicken".

In addition, the defense data of the mecha shows that Marvin's feeling is correct. He can use the Gus pattern to cut the thinner parts of the power armor, such as joints and eyes.

Marvin now reflected on the battle process with Ray John, a diehard fan of power armor. He wanted that power armor, so he was restricted everywhere during the battle, and finally had to compete with the power armor in brute force.

In the future, you can't be confused by money and property. Since it is a battle, you must go all out. If you lose something, you can find it again. If you lose your life, you lose everything.

…

Note ①: It is unlikely that the United States will use metric measurements. They prefer imperial measurements, but for the convenience of readers and for me to save a few words, we will use metric measurements.

Note ②: There are also long stories between the predator gangs in the Appalachian region, which cannot be described in detail. If everything in the Fallout series is written clearly, it will take about 5 million words of novel. I will not expand on it in this book. You may have seen the significance of this volume of Fallout. Not only the protagonist is growing.

I am in good condition, and I will post one more chapter. This chapter has a lot of attribute data and equipment data, which is a bit watery, so the number of words is high. 7000+ big chapters, please add it to the bookshelf and share it in various ways. Thank you all readers.
