The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 23 One-step solution
[Hint: Found a mutant human of the ancient gods, do you want to submit? ]
[Hint: Submission successful. ]
Marvin walked down the mountain while flipping through the tips on the learning machine.
He got no reward for submitting Mark Thomas's body, and his combat power depends entirely on the mask. He is basically a rookie? Tsk tsk tsk...
Clancy Manor is next to the Poison Valley. Although the vegetation is dense, the daytime temperature is still high.
The sun is setting now, the shadows of the woods in the mountains are long, and the wind passing through the hills is not so hot.
Marvin collected more than 20 long and short guns, miscellaneous bullets, various armor accessories and a small amount of medicine.
The spoils captured during the guerrilla warfare on the hillside have long been collected by him.
This group of cultists really has no level. At least they can plan their weapons a little bit. They have bullets for all guns, but they only care about themselves. There is no unified logistics support. Bad review.
Most of the seized weapons and armor parts are of white quality, only the rifle picked up on the roof of the annex building is very special.
[Kalashnikov automatic rifle]
Category: Rifle
Quality: Excellent (Green)
Attack power: 21~25
Marvin remembered that this seemed to be dropped by the enemy he killed with his first shot. He would never mistake this rifle with an AK-like appearance. (Chapter 19)
I have a better one, which I can't use at all, so I'll give it to McAllen.
After all, he helped a lot and consumed a lot of ammunition. If there is no return at all, it's a bit inappropriate.
This is not out of kindness or because he awakened some special XP, but based on the principle of equivalent exchange, which is the principle of interest that Marvin recognizes most in his heart.
This is also the reason why he never fights against the learning machine, because there is really a reward for every effort.
In addition, he also collected a lot of bottle caps in bits and pieces, and finally gathered together more than 700.
I think these cultists don't need to do business with others, so they saved so much.
On the third floor of the main building, Marvin found several books that looked like doctrines and scriptures, handwritten, and the handwriting was almost the same as dog's crawling.
Even if you don't know the inside story, you can guess that it should be from the high priest named Mark Thomas.
The books are full of madman's ravings and worship of the "true God", most of which are meaningless, but two place names are mentioned, Point Plain Town and Lucky Mine, which are the other two strongholds of the Mothman cult.
Marvin thinks he should take time to visit them, because you have to root out the grass.
There are many clumps of red colloid in the two buildings, with white flesh worms wrapped in the center, which is quite disgusting, and I don't know what they are used for.
He cast a spell to freeze these colloids into a pile of ice lumps, and then threw a grenade. After a bang, he felt much better.
In this super low magic world, his ice talent is more and more prominent, which is much more efficient than using fire magic, solving problems and saving magic power.
In the small square, Marvin looked at the dark red magic circle on the ground. This thing gave him a very evil feeling. It had no magic power but faintly emitted strange spiritual fluctuations.
Unexpectedly, the material of the magic circle was not human blood.
Marvin slapped the ground with his left palm, and the ice layer spread from his palm, gradually covering the entire magic circle...
Snap, he snapped his fingers, and the ice layer on the ground exploded, completely wiping the magic circle from the concrete floor.
This was a little trick he had just figured out. Not only did it not consume magic power, but it could also save a few grenades. It was worth studying in depth.
In the dilapidated garden around, there were wooden stakes, and rotten corpses were tied to the stakes. The whole manor was filled with a stench, and the shadow of the distant mountains gradually enveloped the valley.
Marvin suddenly felt a palpitation, and he was being stared at by something.
Since the perception attribute broke through 40 points, his sixth sense has become more and more acute.
Snap, with a crisp sound, a ball of black mist suddenly appeared, and a sharp thorn popped out of the black mist, piercing nothing.
Marvin was already standing five meters away. He clapped his hands on the ground, and a huge purple magic circle unfolded instantly.
The black fog dissipated, and a huge moth spread its wings and stood there quietly. It was estimated to be about two meters and a half high. The spike retracted and curled into a clockwork shape. It was its mouthpart.
The head of the big moth was almost completely occupied by a pair of huge red compound eyes, like two red light bulbs, cold, empty, and emotionless.
But, the evil breath, empty eyes, and white and fat body made it look a bit chubby.
Marvin didn't have time to carefully observe this stupid and evil creature. The other party was obviously rushing to kill people when it appeared.
In this case, there is no need to communicate at all.
As the Yaden seal took effect, he immediately stood up, pulled out the Magnum revolver in the holster on his left leg, and raised his hand to shoot.
Snap, the big moth disappeared again.
The enemy's teleportation ability is still effective. This is not the demon hunter world, and Marvin did not want to completely trap the opponent with the Arden Array.
The teleportation of the moth is not a spatial ability. There is no spatial fluctuation at all, and it is impossible to determine the landing point.
But compared to teleportation, he is really not afraid.
The black fog exploded behind Marvin, and the sharp mouthparts popped out, but still missed.
Marvin appeared behind the enemy, the long sword rune lit up, and slashed down diagonally.
Click, the wings on one side of the moth were neatly cut off, and the carapace on the back was also broken.
Although the opponent has not yet demonstrated the ability to fly, the wings are not fake.
Marvin is not afraid of teleporting on the ground, but if the moth flies up and teleports in the sky, it will be very troublesome.
So the first knife must destroy the wings first, which has always been his fighting principle.
If there is no guarantee of a one-shot kill, then first disable and then kill.
Squeak~
The moth made a sharp hissing sound and disappeared again.
The black fog just appeared not far away, and in less than 0.1 seconds, Marvin also disappeared.
The two completed the teleportation almost at the same time, less than 3 meters apart.
Alder Seal - Bone-piercing.
Bang, the telekinetic impact full of ice magic made the moth stagger, and the front half of its body was completely frozen.
Marvin stepped forward and slashed three times in a row. The curled mouthparts and two abdominal feet fell to the ground, followed by a powerful kick.
The moth fell on its back, and only one of its wings remained shaking constantly.
Marvin jumped to the side of the moth and chopped down with both hands holding the knife.
With a snap, a puff, half of the moth's head was chopped off, and the red compound eyes gradually extinguished, leaving only the wings and abdomen twitching slightly.
He chopped several more times and removed the monster's head completely.
[The Mothman Avenger has been killed. ]
Is this thing really a Mothman? What does the Avenger mean? Is there a "Mothman Justice League"?
Marvin held up the furry tentacles and looked at the Mothman's head, very satisfied.
That weird mask must not be handed over, and he was still worried about how to deal with the crater.
Isn't this the best object to blame?
All supernatural phenomena can be pushed onto this big moth, anyway, there is no evidence.
As for the subsequent rooting out, that is for his own work, so there is no need to involve the crater.
The task prompts this time are very different from the past.
"Mission prompt: Mothman Cult. The Mothman Cult in the west of the Toxic Valley is threatening the survival and development of the crater. Meg has entrusted you to strike it. The strike methods include reconnaissance, assassination, and elimination. The reconnaissance scope includes terrain, personnel composition and number, firepower configuration, important targets, and sect information (including mental attack methods and prevention methods). The targets include Mothman believers, Mothman priests, Mothman, and intruders."
I don't know if it is because of the submission of artificial intelligence or the special nature of this mission. It may be both.
And, will the reward for this mission be different?
Unfortunately, no information about the "intruder" was found. It seems that this mission cannot be completed perfectly, and I don't know if it will affect the reward...
It's not that there is no good news. After a whole afternoon of fighting, Marvin's firearms ability has improved under the pressure of actual combat.
[Firearms proficiency: 4 + (When using live ammunition and energy firearms, accuracy increases by 70%, stability increases by 70%, physical strength consumption -14.8%, slightly improves gun sense talent, and has a good learning talent for firearms knowledge.) (The next upgrade requires 2 ability points.)]
…
The next morning, Marvin woke up early in the underground base of Lakeside Manor as usual, washed, practiced swordsmanship, packed some trophies in his backpack, and repaired his clothes and armor, intending to leave.
He suddenly remembered something, turned back, and opened the "Electronic Communication Technology" in the learning machine.
This book is almost useless to him, but as an engineer, Tal might definitely need it, so he planned to copy part of it to go fishing.
If Tal really needs it, it can be regarded as a bargaining chip for modifying the car. Anyway, he must get a car.
He took out a pen and paper to copy, and then slapped his forehead and cursed himself for being a bad writer.
He was used to living in the Demon Hunter Continent, either copying by hand or copying by magic.
He has a personal computer now, why does he need to copy books?
The book is in the learning machine, and it is not certain whether it can be copied to the disk, but it doesn't cost money to try.
He put on the Pip-Boy, inserted a blank disk, and selected a dozen pages from "Electronic Communication Technology".
The Pip-Boy displayed "File copying...", and the sound of disk reading and writing could be remembered. Note ①
The file was copied quickly, and then he selected a dozen pages from "Wheeled Vehicle Principles and Maintenance Guide" and copied them to the disk.
Marvin found that the transmission rate of his physical adapter was quite good, at least at the KB level... Note ②
When he arrived at the crater, the sun was already high.
I thought it was late enough, but the crater, which was extremely lively at night, was now deserted. There were only a few people wandering outside the huge settlement.
These looters really didn't sleep at night and didn't get up during the day.
The "Monster House" had no door at all, and the bar was empty, even the bar was empty.
He didn't bother to be annoying. He just found a table and sat down. He put his backpack at his feet and put the head of the Mothman on the table like a work of art.
More than half an hour later, the bartender came out and asked Marvin if he needed anything. He waved his hand to refuse, and the bartender left tactfully.
After a while, Roxy dragged a man out and kicked him out of the door before coming over to sit down.
Her hair was messy, and she asked while adjusting her collar: "Why are you here so early? What's wrong?"
Marvin pointed at the big moth head on the table and said: "I killed the Mothman. McAllen and the others lost because of this thing. In addition..."
"Hou Lixie!"
Roxy didn't even wait for Marvin to finish. He screamed, pulled down his round sunglasses a little, and stared at the monster head on the table with wide eyes.
"You must be kidding me..."
Marvin spread his hands: "You can pick it up and look at it. It's dead. There's no danger."
He had studied it last night and found that there was indeed no danger to this moth head.
Roxy grabbed the feathery tentacles and lifted them up.
Snap, the bottom of Mothman's head was stuck to the table, and glue-like filaments were pulled out.
Roxy tilted her head and looked at the wound under her head.
"Hey~ It's really a creature. I thought it was a sculpture just now..."
PIA, she put the monster's head back on the table and said: "It's really yours. Damn Fuck! This is really great news... Speaking of which, how did you do it?" Note ③
This is a temptation that a powerful management should have, and it is understandable.
"I have some special powers, and that 'whispering' thing doesn't work for me."
"Oh..." Roxy poked the big moth's compound eye with her finger, making a hole, and he smiled at Marvin.
Marvin shrugged: "It's okay, I think it won't mind."
"How big is this thing? What other abilities does it have besides that 'whispering' thing?"
"It's about 2.5 meters tall. It looks almost the same as a moth, but it's not that big. It's about the same size as an adult man. It can also move instantaneously, and probably can fly, but I didn't give him a chance to fly."
When lying, it is best to make nine truths and one lie. If there is not a single word of truth, it would be a bit of a loss.
What's more, the people in the crater may encounter the Mothman sometime in the future. If the information is all false, Marvin's signature will be ruined here.
Roxy's temptation was very moderate. She changed the subject and said, "We have to send someone to the manor to take a look. Your reward will be paid to you tomorrow night at the latest. Is that okay?"
"No problem." Marvin kicked the backpack at his feet and asked, "Can I handle the loot myself?"
"Of course you can take whatever spoils you want. If that profiteer Colt dares to cheat you, Boss Meg will take care of it." Roxy slapped her thigh and walked out in a hurry.
"Let's go, let's show Boss Meg. I'll hang it up in the bar later, how grand!"
Marvin was holding a backpack in one hand and the monster's head in the other. As he walked, he said, "Then you may be disappointed. This thing involves the supernatural. I tell you to burn it after just one look. Otherwise, it may cause more trouble."
"Ah? Is it like this?"
The purpose of Roxy bringing Marvin to see Meg was not just to see the rare monster head, but also to determine the amount of Marvin's reward.
Crater's expectation is that Marvin can detect useful information or provide solutions to problems.
But this bounty hunter went straight to the point and killed all the guys who asked questions.
How should this reward be calculated? Roxy didn't dare to make blind decisions.
Meg was quite generous and promised a reward of 2,000 bottle caps.
If all the cultists in Clancy Manor are really wiped out, Roxy will pay the full amount of 2,000 bottle caps. If not, it will be reduced as appropriate.
Marvin had no problem with that.
In addition, Meg also asked Marvin to quickly take away the big moth's head and destroy it, and severely criticized Roxy: "You ****, is the ball around your neck filled with shit? Fuck! Again If you have such stupid ideas, I will throw you into the mountains to live in a real 'monster home'!"
Roxy wiped the spit on her sunglasses with her sleeve and ran away in despair.
My sunglasses are all worn out, and I don’t know if I will fall down later.
Roxy was gone, but Meg was still sitting on the high-backed chair and muttered: "One by one... hum... they are still saying 'House of Monsters'. I have long disliked that crappy sign."
Marvin also didn't want to bring disaster to Chi Yu.
"I'm going to find Tal."
Without waiting for the grumpy woman's reply, he quickly descended the spiral staircase.
…
Tal nestled on the sofa in his workroom, reading an old comic magazine.
Judging from the cover, it should be "Guguna the Barbarian".
Tarr looked particularly engaged, and his expression even looked a little ferocious. It seems that even engineers have a heart for close combat and have a bright future.
Marvin stepped over the tools and parts on the floor and walked to the sofa. Only then did Tal realize that someone was coming.
He sat up and said hesitantly: "Marvin, about changing the car..."
"It's not about modifying the car." Marvin handed the disk over and said, "Have a look at it when you have time. I think it will be very useful to you."
"What's inside?"
"Knowledge."
"What?"
There are only a few dozen pages of information in total, which can be read quickly, and Marvin is too lazy to explain any more.
"Anyway, it's not something that makes the terminal explode. Remember to find me if it's useful. This is just part of it."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
…
Note ①: Most young people nowadays have probably never used ancient disks. There is really this kind of sizzling sound when reading and writing. I seem to remember this detail in the game, but I can’t remember clearly.
There are also iterations of disks in Fallout games. In Fallout 3 and New Vegas, they are still tape cassettes. In Fallout 4 and 76, they are plastic card-style disks, but there are no optical discs or optical drives. The disk capacity in the game is extremely large, God knows why.
Note ②: 1KBu003d1024B, 1MBu003d1024KB, 1GBu003d1024MB……
Note ③: In a looters’ settlement full of chaos and violence, we cannot expect all residents to be polite and civilized. However, considering that there may be minors among the readers, the author hereby declares that the book is only for artistic processing and does not mean that the author advocates swearing.
We are an ancient civilized country and a country of etiquette. Students must not learn from these barbarians. We have thousands of years of civilization. Even if we curse people, we should not use such vulgar words. Dog head saves life.
Sanxingdui has a history of more than 8,000 years ago. I dare not dig further. Who knows how many years of civilization there are on this land we love so much.
I only found out how to use the second volume after writing this. I am a little mentally retarded... The previous chapters cannot be changed. This is the fault of Tomato APP. I don’t take it.
