The days tinued on from then and on October 7th 2250, the 63rd day since I was reinated into this world, I pleted my 63rd daily workout quest, finally earning enough exp for a level up.
*Haa..haa..haa…*
Finally, I'm able to level up. I just o turn in this st quest and I'll be able to level up immediately afterward.
Settling my breathing, I opened up my holographic system menu and navigated over to the quest se to turn in my just pleted daily quest.
I wonder if there will be any other ges from the games... Though now that I'm thinking of it, I already got 4 perks that never existed in any of the 3 games right out of the gate. So the ces of hings being introduced are quite high. Hopefully, the ges include a variety of new useful perks and other cool shit that I use to my advantage.
After that thought, I turned in my daily workout quest gaining another 16 exp as my reward, finally pushing my total exp over the required 1,000 exp for the level.
Level Up!
Okay, here we go, time to level up for the first time a me a perk.
Taking a brief look through my status, I notio ges.
Everything is unged. Time to use that long awaited level up.
With my status appearing the same as it has been minus the pending level up I now had at the top of the s, I selected the level up on my status s and as soon as I did the s ged and presented me with a perk s.
[ Perks ]
Perk Points Left: 1
Level 0 Perks
| Ambidextrous | Requirements Level 0, Perception 8: Gain the ability to use both of your hands as if they were your dominant hand.
| Bookworm | Requirements Level 0, Intelligence 4: Your reading speed will double and in addition to that, you'll better uand the knowledge you gain, leading to faster skill gain. +100% to reading speed and +25% to skill gain speed.
| Speed Loader | Requirements Level 0, Agility 6: Loading and reloading has never beeer, gain the ability to load magazi a substantially faster speed and see a det increase to your reload speed. +50% to magazine loading speed and +35% to reloading speed.
| Talented | Requirements Level 0, Intelligence 9: Bee talented and absorb experience like a sponge and learn from your experiences faster than ever before. +2 skill points gained per level up.
Hmm, that's different from the games. I would normally only have three new perks to choose from, but now there are four with the inclusion of Ambidextrous, so that's new. In addition to that, from what I've read from the perk descriptions, the perks also have some ges from their game terparts, but the ges in their descriptions are all positive, so that's good. Hopefully that remains the case going forward. It would suck if I couldn't take a perk due to a shitty ge by this system.
Quickly disc those differences, I spent a few more seds looking to see if I could spot anything else ged from the games and when I didn't; I tinued on.
That seems to be all the ges for the moment, noerk should I take for my first level… The first perk that really stands out to me would have to be Talented due to two reasons. Reason one being because I take it every time I py a Wastender game and reason two, the real reason is the earlier I get the perk, the more bes I'll see from it in the long run.
However, sihis isn't a game any longer, let me check the other perks again, along with the new perk to see which of them I want to take for my first level. The new perk Ambidextrous isn't too bad of a choice since I could see it being exceptionally handy in many activities, situations like crafting and bat, to wo. It could also prove useful in situations involving the bedroom as well, but that's too far off into the future for me to bother thinking about, with me being a baby and all.
Moving onto a different perk, we got Speed Loader. This perk is pretty good, but I currently don't meet the requirements, hence I 't acquire it at this very moment, plus it wouldn't be of any real use to me, given my current state and situation. That aside, it'll definitely be a perk I'll pick up iure for sure.
Likely before I head out into the wastes simply because I have no doubt it'll show it's worth ter on when I'm ihick of it out there fighting bandit groups and clearing mutas. Although with a new perk appearing, that isn't a guarantee, sihere could be a number of new perks that are hands down more useful, which may or may not end up ging my decision.
Taking that perk off the list of choices, we have the perk Bookworm. This perk should help a great deal in my goal of acquiring as muowledge as I possibly before I set out into the wastend, so this will be essential to take if I want to make that goal of mine a reality.
Despite that, I 't use it properly right now since I'm uo get my hands on books of any actual value or substance besides children's picture books, which are absolutely useless to me. Thus, I'll unfortunately have to pass on this perk until I gain access to real books and not the ohat mainly sist of colorful pictures and small bits of very simplistic text.
Now that all the perks have been evaluated, I suppose I'll be going with Talented simply because it makes the most seo take with it, providing ara 2 skill points every level up.
My deade, I selected the perk Talented and firmed my perk choid right as I did, the holographic s ged once again, now dispying the skill distribution s.
[ Skills ]
Skill Points Left: 14
Ballistic ons: 42Energy ons: 42Explosives: 32(T)Heavy ons: 44Leadership: 37Lockpick: 30Medie: 52Melee ons: 35Piloting: 31(T)Repair: 42(T)Sce: 42Speech: 25Stealth: 31Survival: 32Trade: 25Unarmed: 35
What skill should I increase… Medie could grant me more knowledge about the human body that may or may not help me out with my training. However, seeing how I'm in a world that is signifitly more advahan my previous ohe answer is probably yes. I guess if I don't find a better skill to put my skill points into, I'll just throw them in medie and be doh it.
tinuing on from medie, bat skills are still un this moment, thus I'll be skipping those as well. Social skills also be skipped over too simply a baby has no need for any of those types of skills. Piloting and survival are useless here too, because one I don't have a car or some other kind of vehicle. Two, I'm a baby being taken care of by my mom and dad in a city that isn't g in really anything aside from power armor. How unfortunate.
I'll definitely have to acquire a suit of it when I ve of the uy.
I would like to make a suit before I start my journey, but there is no realistic way I'll be able to ihe time I would o make all the equipment and maery required to even produce it. Not to mention all the time needed for designing a power armor suit that would fit my future size.
Well, it's not the end of the world. I'll just hit up Fort Kern and grab the many suits sitting there and modify one of them after I gain ownership of the Cyberdynamics Robotics Facility. Just gotta be able to get past the many robots guarding the fort and the armored bst door blog access to the main armory.
Getting back to distributing my skill points, the only other skill I see being worthwhile at this moment would be stealth simply because I could use it to sneak around the house at night and seek out some books to read or perhaps either of my parents ptops both of which should have access to the uy work. Yeah, that's not too bad of an idea, if I gain access to one of their ptops I use the uy work, from my uanding it is pretty simir to the i ba my previous world to begin learning as much as I .
Doing that will help me out with dealing with my boredom at night and aplishing what I o get done before I set foot out into the wastend earlier than expected. I'll just o make sure that I don't leave any evidence behind that I was using one of their ptops. That shouldn't be all that difficult to do.
With a pn made, I dropped the 14 avaible skill points into stealth and as soon as I finalized the distribution, my head started throbbing intensely in pain as a plethora of information involving several assassination teiques, multiple ways of staying hidden, and many other such stealth reted skills and experience were being stuffed into and absorbed by my brain.
As I was dealing with the effects of the extreme headache taking pce, the holographic s in front of me unbeknownst to me ged bay status s, dispying my new perk Talented and increased stealth skill.
…
Haaa, that shit fug sucks. It better improve ter on, if not, I'm going to o get my hands on some really strong painkillers. I'm already going to be w on fixing the issue with the Maxigen drug aually produg it along with Medstims. So I might as well add a painkiller to my future drug manufacturing project because it seems I'm going to be needing them iure and quite frequently at that if this is what I'm going to have to gh every level up.
As for ainkiller to produce, I'll probably go with P-Dex si was supposedly the stro pain suppressant in all the wastender games with minimal side effects. It also sells for quite a few dolrs out in the wastend due to its effects, so I could make a good bit of money off it as well…
While I'm on this topic besides produg drugs to deal with the pain I experience when I'm leveling up, those medstims should be useful in my workouts due to the drug's ability to facilitate rapid regeion of the body. In theory, they should allow me to recover faster from my future workouts.
If it works how I think it does, I should be able to utilize the Medstims to increase my body's ability tee and repair itself, thereby increasing the speed I'll be able to raise my agility, endurance, and strength attributes. bihat with the modified Maxigen drug I'll be produg iure, I'll be pag on tons of muscle and raising my stats stupidly fast, getting right back to where I was strength wise previously in not too many years.
The Medstims don't have a single ive side effey knowledge, therefore I start using them as soon as I get a hold of some. With that said I won't be able to produy of my own drugs until I'm a det bit older so I'll o figure out a way to source a sistent supply of them…
Well I 't think of any real solution at this very moment…Hmm, wait, actually I might have a way, my randpa Henry Todd Woods founded airely owns the pany Future Medical, I probably just source the Medstims I need in future from there.
And from my uanding of the versations that were had in front of me, Future Medical researches and produces all sorts of chemicals, drugs, and medies for the uy gover and the many busihat operate down here in Uy 7.
So with my grandpa's pany seeming more than capable, I don't see why I couldn't source the Medstims I'll need iure from there until I start my own produ of them. How I'll make that happen, I suppose I'm going to have to give a good bit of thought and e up with a good enough reason to vince my grandpa or either of my parents.
However, since my grandpa Henry seems to be a very logical and rational man, I don't think I'll have all that much trouble ving him, thus I'll try to obtain the Medstims through him first before I explore other avenues. Apart from that, the main issue I'll have to deal with will probably be ving my mom to let me i myself on the regur… Yeah, I'll put off thinking about that until ter.
My thoughts of being a drug kingpin in the wastend and the future headache of how I'll vince my mom to let me do some odd and very suspect things with Medstims cluded. I refocused my attention on my status that has been waiting patiently all this time for my attention.

Not too bad, I received a few new quests to work on a rewards from, two more skill points to spend every time I level up, and some additional health. Again not too bad, for my first level up.
Following my level up, I went through my system's other tabs to see if there was anything else of i. I didn't e across anything, thus I closed out of it and began training my perception, since I had already pleted my physical training for the moment. After training for what felt like a couple of hours, I sensed my mom ing down the hallway to check up on me and to feed me. Pausing my training there, I got up and assumed position at my crib's wall.
Several seds ter, I heard the click of the door before it opened up a few inches and I saw her peek io see if I was awake. Spotting me awake at the cribs walls, she smiled and made her way over to me.
"Ma-ma." I said as she made her way inside, immediately causio e to a plete stop in pce, asto what I had just called her before she raced over to me and brought me into her arms with a very excited look on her face.
" you say that again for me?" She pleaded with a look of anticipation practically dispyed across her face.
"Ma-ma" I repeated, causio release a happy squeal of sorts and a couple of other excited noises.
…
"How was my little guy's nap?" She asked me in an exceptionally positive tone of voice.
"Ga-ga." I responded in one of my baby noises, causing her face thten slightly more.
"That's good. I'm gd you had a good nap. But now you're up, let's get you fed before I bring you out to the living to py with your blocks and after you've pyed for a little, how about we try to learn about your ABCs. How does that sound?" She responded.
"Ba-ba." I answered while pointing at her chest.
"Ehh… not quite, but very close." She replied, surprised at what I had said.
I didn't think she would wao start learning this soon, but this is good for me.
After our little chat, she brought me over to the nearby chair in my room and fed me the usual way. Once I had a belly full of milk, mht me out into the living room to py while she worked away oop on one of the nearby couches.
...
Two hours ter, whilst I was in the midst of creating a new building with my colle blocks, my mom Jane paused her work and looked in my dire and asked eagerly with a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Okay, I'm doh my work. Do you want to try learning your ABCs?"
"Ah." I responded with my back still turned as I pced the st bloy tower.
I guess I'll be eaining mom for a while. As for how long I'll let this go on, I'll just progressively increase the amount of letters I know over a two-week period since I already have the monster genius card already. After that I'll wait for awo weeks before I begin using shortened versions of basic words, and when about a month of that has passed, I'll go to the stage and so on and so forth.
And when I arrive at the tter stages, they'll probably begiing me books, so that will eventually help me out with acquiring knowledge. Though that won't be happening initially, I imagine because I'm certain I'll receive kid books first before I e into possession of anything having to do with the sces.
With a pn to increase my speaking ability aually acquire more knowledge without having to sneak around at night even though I'll probably still do that after the fact, I walked over to the living room coffee table and plopped my bum on the detly fortable brown colored rug. From there, mom pulled out a number of learning materials from who knows where and begaedly teag me the alphabet I already knew.
