That was quite a haul and very much worth all the years of effort I spent learning and training, day in and day out. I only imagine how pissed off I would be if most of the skill perks I got were dogshit... Thank god, they were all pretty great overall and everythi well for the most part.
I could have dohout all the pain, but I'm just gd my head didn't explode when it was getting stuffed to the brim with an overwhelming amount of new knowledge and information. Another way to look at it, I suppose, is my pain tolerance is sure to have gone up from this whole ordeal, not to mention my mental fortitude.
Happy with what I received for my literal years of effort, I checked to see if there were any other notifications.
Good, there are no more notifications. Time to get those two quests turned in.
Doing just that, I closed out of the current holographidow, pulled up my status, and turned in my Seeker Of Knowledge quest first to get myself ara 15% exp out on the Produ Underway quest. From those two quests, I ed a total of 17,888 exp, 3 intelligence points, and 2 repair and sce skill points, more than enough for one more level up and just shy of two level-ups.
I learned my lesson this time. There ain't no way I'm piling up level ups again if I help it.
Unwilling to gh that excruciating pain again, I wasted no time and initiated the level up.
Iime it took to blink, the same perk s I saw before made an appearance for the sed time, listing all the previous perks and four additional new ones.
Level 12 Perks
| Another Skill Talent | Requirements Level 12: Gain a fourth skill talent to distribute wherever you please.
| Backpacker | Requirements Level 12, Endurance 6, Strength 6: +100 to carry weight.
| Iron Fist | Requirements Level 12, Endurance 6, Strength 6: Your fists will increase in hardness and strength and you gain +20% to unarmed damage.
| Nerves Of Steel | Requirements Level 12, Endurance 5, Intelligence 5: Gain nerves of steel and the ability to deal with most situations and ued events calmly and rationally.
Not bad, the four of them are all solid perks.
What do I want to choose, I could either go with one of these four or one of the previous perks I've yet to take... Cat Eyes would be o have for the dark caves but there is little to no light in there so I'm still going to need a light in the end for it to be effective if the perk is anything like real cat eyes. There is also the fact that my armor already has built-in night vision and thermal vision, so it's kind of poio waste a perk point on it when I already have that covered with equipment.
Speed Loader is great for whenever I have to reload but I'm already very fast in that area thus it's not particurly wrabbing it at this very sed. I could go for Brute, 't g with having more durability although in this instahink I'm going to take Nerves Of Steel.
I already deal with most situations calmly and rationally. However, I've never been in a situation where I had guns being fired at me. This isn't a game anymore, so I think this perk will be the best choice because it will help me calmly hahe various dangerous situations I may find myself in.
My choice made, I selected Nerves Of Steel a on to the se of the level up.

I already have regrets of not distributing them into repair and sce, so that's what I'll do... Alright, that should do it. I put 13 points into repair and 13 points into sd threw the st remaining point into trade.
Pleased that I could get a few points into both skills, I pleted my skill distribution, bringing me back to the main system window, which reflected the huge transformation I had undergone.

Oh, y endurance went up a point, probably because of the leveling. My Master All Trades quest is ready to turn in too… I would love to turn it in, but I think my body has undergone enough stress for one day.
Ending that thought there, I looked through the rest of my system's multiple tabs.
...
After cheg them all out, I exited out of it, got up from the partially destroyed chair I had undergohe process in, and topped myself off with a few more medstims.
That should do it. Now it's about time I got back to work. I have a few things I want to prepare before I head into the mines. At the test, I should be ready to depart by tomorrow.
"I'm doh my leveling, guys. Let's get that training done, so I'll be as prepared as possible for tomorrow." I said, ing out of the tiny room I did my leveling in.
"Phew, looks like you didn't experieny issues, kid." Gramps responded, relieved.
"I wouldn't say that, but the issue was manageable."
"Well, that's good. Go talk to your little girlfriend before we begiing ready for tomorrow." He said, smag my shoulder and walking off to the armory.
When gramps was out of sight, Alice tched onto me and said a bit emotionally. "You had me worried that something bad was going to happen to you."
"Oh e on Aliothing major was going to happen and if something did, I would've been able to ha like I've been able to handle everything else in the past, right?"
"Nnn, I know you would, but I 't help w about you."
"You got nothing to worry about and I'm sure if I get myself into trouble, my girl will e running to help."
"That I will."
Huggiight, she looked up at me, log eyes with my own, expeg a little something, something, so I leaned down, pnted a pe her lips, and asked her. "Better?"
"Better." She answered smilingly.
Following that little moment of ours, the two of us walked to the armory a up with gramps. After getting suited up in my Heavy Trooper Armor and grabbing the kit he and I were going t with us, we headed for his trud loaded it up with the arms and ammo we were going to train with. Gramps then drove the three of us te used by wastend explorers and, upon arriving there, we quickly hopped out and brought the stuff inside.
"How's it going, John? I haven't seen you in a while." Bill, one of gramps old friends, greeted him from behind the ter where he was w.
"Life's been good, you?" Gramps replied in his usual deep, rough voice.
"Same old, same old, just keeping this pce going as per usual. Who's the big guy yht with you?"
"It's me, Uncle Bill." I answered while removing my Heavy Trooper Helmet.
"Oh, I couldn't reize you, son. Shit, you've gotten big. What you've been feeding him, John?" Bill said, clearly impressed with my physical growth.
We shot the shit with Bill for a couple of minutes and got a bay assigo us, so we wished the old guy Bill a good rest of the day and tinued on our way to the range and drill area.
