Ficool

Chapter 32 - Best direction to Grow...Yes

Waking up in night city I check my level, sure enough it's gone up so put a point in technical ability. Then I upgrade the thousand pistols that were made and grin knowing I got yet another easy skill. Finally scrap em cause that's a ton of material. Moving on I seek out another car to scrap, not finding my target I pick a random parked car and begin, still no clue how most of the engine and surrounding components work and find a couple new kinds of fasteners but otherwise it all goes smoother and faster than I imagined for a first try. Going over the parts I noticed an upgrade option and freeze...was this an option all along?

Calling up my car I carefully remove the coil pack that connects the spark plugs...shit it has the upgrade option too. Spend the rest of the day going around tearing out easy to grab components from parked cars, upgrading them scrapping them. By the end of the day I got a skill for upgrading and scrapping a specific type of spark plug, doesn't feel useful but take every skill I can get.

The following morning in my bed I spend the day grinding up gaining attributes to level 2, as well as gun nut and Daddy's Boy, tiny increase to my ability to learn, can't wait for tomorrow.

Waking up in night city I use the Internet to buy schematics for everything common tier that I can, boy howdy there's a lot. After that craft and scrap everything for easy skills. Going to bed I feel like my head is overstuffed, so many little things seem like they should've been obvious all along.

Waking up in my bed I recall all I can, a lot is either beyond me or hazy but I've got a lot, just knowledge waiting to be made solid and usable. I save load to grind all of the clothing skills for crafting and scrapping to 2 in cyberpunk, then check ESO....and it won't connect a few tries later I realize, I've been banned, shit... It's time for something else.

Going into the system app I buy another game slot, Fallout New Vegas. Quickly grind up the 7 specials with save loads to boost my learning speed a hair more and then run to work, couple hours later, I'm save loading consuming everything from raw gecko meat to beer in NV. Few easy skills with effects identical to fallout 3 then time for bed.

Waking up in night city, I decide to focus on designing the perfect outfits. Starting with the shoes, Using Aramid Lined Street Shoes as the base, add in twin thin ceramic plates in the base much like I would with work boots, add external tungsten toes, and let the computer balance out the design.....it takes a while it really hates my creation. Make a pair try it out... Yeah these feel weird. Try thickening the base abit shortening the plates, thin the toecover. Let the computer balance the design make it and, so much better, ok so shoes meant to be flexible being made to feel rigid with little plates in the soles, egh. These are still less flexible than the original street shoes design but it works, and I love the under protection of boots, in a hard landing it really lessens the shock somehow. Make it an off black that's gotta hint of dusty brown perfect. Next the socks, syncotton with carbon nanotubes yes please. Pants will be... An armid weave of V's Nomad Pants with an enhanced titanium micro mesh under Layer. For a shirt...wow loads of options, let's keep it simple and armid weave of V's favorite shirt with of course an enhanced titanium micro mesh underlayer. An armid weave Adaptive 4-way stretch polyester hoodie with a couple lines of carbon nanotubes on the outside and an enhanced titanium micro mesh under layer. Its stupid not to wear headwear but it just feels off. I go to the second amendment practicing dual wielding normal unity's, could be worse. After burning a couple hundred euros in ammo I head to bed.

Waking up in my bed, it's time for more IRL experience, pay to let the gun shop let me use a couple 1911's undisturbed, it's worse than I thought. Focusing on two shots straight forward at once isn't hard, so long as your stance is straight and you've been lining it all up in advance, but after than, the microadjustments that I'd normally do reflexely get worse and worse. RPG penalties to dual wielding are a lot more accurate than I thought. A dozen mags later I call it quits and return the guns, the guys mock me a lot and we exchange some playful banter. Get through work head home, grind easy early skills and especially drinking water and eating all the harvestable foods on fallout NV. Then I make what I pray isn't a huge mistake, I buy my first cellphone game slot. Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven.

First Skill I grind. Leisure Reading: Read and reduce stress 0.1% faster per level. It's not all reading but finally a general reading skill I've tried so freaking long! With that I turn in.

Waking up in night city. I head back to second amendment after breakfast and start practicing dual wielding again, first clip same as yesterday but on the second, something clicks, and it's definitely part from my real world practice. Still better one handed but this is well decent, a few more clips with some negligible progress but that initial improvement makes it all noticable, I'm good enough the owner isn't glaring at me anymore at least. I switch to my custom unity's and, it went almost as bad as my first attempt with the basic ones, second shots were way off and I forcefully adjusted after that but, it wasn't easy or pretty, plus I was pauses a second between shots to adjust....yeesh.

Not sure how best to advance next I fallback on dismantling the cars after 4 I gorge on the usual for dinner then head to bed.

Waking up in my room I check what else I can get on Safe Haven,

Crafting Crowbar: Increases your relevant strength and intelligence by 0.1% per level while crafting a crowbar.

Crafting Small Animal Trap: Increases your relevant strength and intelligence by 0.1% per level while crafting a small animal trap.

Free Weights: Use free weights and reduce stress 0.1% faster per level.

Melee Trench Knife: Attack with a trench knife as though your Strength and agility were 0.1% higher per level.

This, might be awesome.
