Now that Amata is sleeping soundly, it's time I spent those level ups I've been holding on to. But before I do that, I'm going to give my current system a good look over to see how I've been doing as of ter and if anything nepeared.
The instant I fihat thought, I opened up my Pip-Boy, freezing time a few short moments ter. Whey came to a plete and utter stop, the usual holographic s made its appearance.
Let's see what sort ress I made.
...
My stats are progressing quite well, especially my bat oriented skills. Those guys have seen a pretty substantial increase from all the sughtering I've been doing. And they were not the only stats that have made signifit progress. Both my strength and endurance have been stantly increasing since I've been running around, killing, and training out here in the wastend.
Happy with what I'd seen so far, I moved onto the quest se of my status.

Sweet I got several new quests and my killing spree quest is ready to be turned in... Oh and I seemed to have gained a ab called produ.
Navigating to that tab, I found it dispyed my daily produ capacity.
Not too bad for a few days' work, if I do say so myself.
Finished iing my status, I navigated through the holographic s to spend my accumuted level-ups. And as I was in the midst to spend my nine accumuted level ups, the system refused and spat out a small notification window.
[Important Notice!]You only spend 5 of your level-ups right now due to there being a perk that requires you to take it at level 50 and if you don't, you will lose access to it and whatever it may provide. Warning! There will be no way of obtaining it if not taken now.
That's iing. This is the first time the system has done something like this... Let's see erk it is.
With the system inf me that there was an importao look at, I spent five of my nine accumuted level-ups.
[ Perks ]

| Double-Edged Sword | Requirements Level 50, (Warning!) Must be taken at level 50: Gain more perks each level for a cost and that cost is the amount xp required for eaew level is doubled. For example, your exp requirement was inally 25(3 x Level + 2) (Level - 1) but if you take this perk it will be 25 (3 x Level + 2) (Level - 1) x 2. Warning if you take this perk any level-ups that you have yet to use will get adjusted to the new level requirements thereby redug them, adding on this perk is required to gain access to several perks, mutations, and [???].

[Additional Information] This ability won't work if you die from old age or if this ability is on cooldown.
Taking a look at all the new perks I gained access to, I immediately homed in on the perk that caused the system to dey me from spending my banked level ups, Double-Edged Sword. The ohat grant me 2 perk points for each level up instead of just the normal 1 perk point per level.
It appears to be a pretty good perk if not for the fact that it requires me to grind out twice as much experieo get to level 51, which is a ge from 193,750 to 387,500. So if I take it I'll lose out on 4 of my level-ups at least for now and if I don't take it I'll lose out on whatever perks and mutations that require I have it as well as whatever [???] is. Yeah, I'm going to o think about this for a moment, don't want to make any hasty decisions now.
...
pting the issue at hand, I id there in limbo, analyzing the possible demerits of taking the perk such as it slowing down my leveling and my growth. I did that fod knows how long aually started weighing the possible bes it would provide. O would give me access to more perks and mutations that I have yet to get any of, ara perk point that would let me get more of the lower-level perks, and access to whatever [???] is.
After thinking and looking at the possible bes and demerits of taking the perk, I'd rather take the double the exp requirement cost than miss out on the perks and mutations that require it, let alone missing out on whatever that row of question marks is. If I learned anything from my years of gaming and reading from my previous life, that row of question marks is either going to be a huge boon or a curse. That said, the system has yet to fuck me, so it's most likely the former, he's worth the risk and the effort in my mind.
With my mind made up, I hovered over Double-Edged Sword and as I was about to select the perk, I couldn't help hesitating and sed guessing my choice.
...
God, I hope I'm making the right decision here.
The instant I selected the perk and the holographic s blurred for a while, putting me on edge. Thankfully, it returo normal rather quickly to the perk sele window dispying 8 perk points avaible to be spent.
Ohh, nice, I got 4 more perk points to spend.
More than happy with my additional perk points, I gave the ey of the perk list another run over. Not seeing any new perks appearing, I went ahead and grabbed Thought You Died first for the reason that it bring my ass back to life once every 10 years. Even though I picked it up solely for that effect, the infinitely sg +10 health for every 100 kills I gain sounds really busted as well, making it an even easier choice.
Having gotten that busted life saving perk, I selected Strong Body because it will double my body's durability and make it far easier to increase two of my primary S.P.E.C.I.A.L.s strength and endurance. With those two perks selected, I moved on and, after browsing the extensive sele ain briefly; I picked out another life saving perk, Sed Wind. My reasoning for doing so was simple: it would increase my survivability and allow me to turables on a foe by instantly regeing my health back to 100% if I was to drop to 1 health or below.
Now that I had my third perk selected, I grabbed my fourth perk much faster tha. The perk I went with this time around was Ghost, si would allow me to escape enclosed spaces easily if I were ever in danger and o get the hell out of dodge fast. Another reason why I went with it was because I could use it to breach all manner of defenses and blockages, not to mention using it for repositioning and outmaneuvering my enemies.
Finished deg on my fourth perk, I gave the fifth choice a bit of thought and after thinking about it; I settled on Humaer because it sounded like a useful perk to have. I mean, why wouldn't I want the ability to process a rge amount of ore and scrap metal all on my own without furnaces. It would also be a huge help till I got some arc furnaces manufactured to take over for me and besides, extra carry weight is always weled with open arms let alone ara 1,000 pounds of it.
...
I thought about what else I wanted and once I had gohrough the plethora of perks; I chose Sor Powered as my sixth perk simply because it will boost my health regeion to a massive 1 hp a sed while I'm outside, and provide me with a bonus 2 strength.
| Sor Powered | Requirements Level 20, Endurance 7: +2 tth and +1 HP per sed while outside.
For my seventh perk, I took Tank ander mainly because it will boost my fighting power and survivability as well as my people's and my robots'. The moment I selected Tank ander, I began thinking about what I wished to take as my final perk for quite some time. I wasn't going to be able to level food while since I was going to need nearly 200,000 exp for my level hence I o be extra picky with this st one.
...
After a number of minutes or what I perceived as minutes since reality was currently paused, I eventually decided to get Puppies! just in case Dogmeat died before I could enter him.
| Puppies! | Requirements Level 22: If Dogmeat dies, he will respawn as a puppy with all memories at the entrao Vault 101.
With my perks selected and Dogmeat made into a perpetual, I gave my choices skim. Once I was decided and happy with my choices, I moved on to the step in the leveling process and finalized my sele. The very sed I had, I saw the holographic perk s sed to the skill distribution one.

Giving the skill list a peruse, I dumped 80 of my 135 avaible skill points into medie, bringing its total up to 300, so I could increase the number of limbs I could regrow in a single day. Following that, I dumped the remaining 55 points into repair, raising its total to 555.

That's an overall nicrease to my stats, but man the amount of exp I need for the level is going to be a pain. I may o take a trip to the Fairfax Ruins to get some leveling doherwise it's going to take a fug long ass time to reach level 51. Seeing how I need as much exp as I get my grubby hands ht now, I might as well turn in the Killing Spree to see if it will unloother quest for me to farm exp from. And if not at least I'll reduce the amount of exp by 1,000 exp + my exp gain bonus.
Another deade, I navigated to the quest se of the Pip-Boy and turned in the Killing Spree quest, gaining 3,200 exp, and the new perk Sughterer as my rewards.
| Sughterer | You've killed so many things that you a bloody aura filled with killing ihat you use to intimidate or put pressure on other beings. It has other uses besides that, but you'll have to discover those yourself. This aura will bee stronger and grow in size the more things you kill or have a hand in killing. [Additional Information] This aura also be trolled by the user's will.
As soon as I was dourning it, a new notification popped up.
Ding! New Quest
| The Butcher | Objectives: Reach a kill t total of 10,000 kills. Rewards: Perk Sughterer Rank 2, 10,000 exp.
I won't be able to plete that quest anytime soon. Hopefully, I will have made somewhat of a dent in it by the time I'm doaking care of the Encve.
Followiaining that new quest, I gave my stats another look over. When I didn't discover anything I hadn't noticed previously, I closed out of my status s, resuming time once again mere moments ter. The instant it had resumed, I gnced over at Amata and saw her still sleeping just as soundly as before. Not needing to do anything else, I joined her, ending my eventful day finally.
