  A week ter.

  There, that should do it. Let me turn this sucker on.

  As I was about to, I heard a ding before a small holographic popped ien the far side of vision inf me I had a new quest ready to turn in. Cheg the notification out real quick, I saw I had pleted all the objectives for my Produ Underway quest.

  Sweet, more exp. Unfortunately, I 't be from it until I spend all the level ups I have waiting for me. And that won't be happening for close to another year by my estimates, so that's upsetting… Haa, whatever, I 't do anything about it right now, but the day I , 't e soon enough.

  The sudden notification iigated and finally finished assembling and building my first ever robot. I turo my gramps and Alice, who were nearby on a couch, one of the many pieces we bought for the pce less than a week ago and said excitedly while waving at them to e. "Guys, it's ready. Hurry over."

  Hearing what I said, they halted what they were doing and hurried to my side to watch me officially bring my first robot online. With the arrival of the two of them, I powered the robot on and within the blink of an eye, my creation came to life, straightening itself up, standing tall.

  What stood in our vision edal armored robot standing at a height of six feet and armed with a ser emitter within each of its palms that each possessed the firepower equivalent to a standard AALR-6 Laser Rifle.

  | Multibot |Armament: 2 x Ied Palm LasersCarry Capacity: 350Power: Fusion BreederValue: 100,000Description: The Multibot is a six-foot-tall humaal emp shielded robot covered head to toe in modur armor that be easily repced when damaged. In addition to its easily repceable armor aromagic pulse immunity, the robot is desigo be able to do anything a human do. So due to it being for ck of a better word a metal human, it handle any task a human would be needed for. Besides the model being a general workforce repcer, the robot handle bat just fih its built-in sers located in the ter of both of its palms. And if that isn't enough, the Multibot is capable of using any on a human , such as shotguns and assault rifles to even heavier armaments like miniguns and mini-nuke unchers. Designed by Dom Mason Woods.

  *Whistle* "I know you said you would have the first one produced in a week, but I still 't believe you did it." Gramps said, amazed that I actually mao produce a whole new bot of my own design.

  "I always believed he would do it, Grandpa John. You should have more faith in Dom." Alice, my always faithful girl, followed up.

  Before anyone could get another word out or say anything else, the multibot piped up in a deep, male-sounding robotic voice. "I'm awaiting your orders, master."

  "Stand aside over there for now and await my orders."

  "Rodger." The Multibot said, going off and standing guard at the position I assig to.

  As my newly produced robot was waiting patiently, Gramps, Alice, and I discussed a few things before I walked to a on rack I had set beside my on manufacturing mae and picked up one of the retly produced FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifles I had sitting in it.

  | FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifle |Damage: 45DPS: 600 - VariableFire rate: 800 RPM Fully Automatic, Semi-AutomaticWeight: 9Css: MediumAmmo Type: Microfusion Breeder CellValue: 74,900Attats: Laser Sight, Red Dot Sight, Vertical Frip, on SlingDescription: The FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifle is an improved AALR-6 Laser Rifle that has had its micro fusion cell slot repced with a fixed microfusion breeder cell verted to select fire with an 800 rpm fun switch. In addition to that, its damage has been improved from its inal along with its reliability and other miseous pos. Designed by Dom Mason Woods.

  I've been able to produce a number of these but it's too slow for my liking, not to mention it takes my time away from my robot assembling time. Hmm, what I do to improve it... I've already programmed my own AI already so why don't I fully automate the mae and ie it with an AI.

  Doing that should increase both my produ speed and capacity through the roof. That is holy a solid idea. I'll see about making it a reality as soon as possible. heless, that will have to wait until I get a few more Multibots built to help me speed up the process.

  My future pns of boosting produ capacity and speed that I also use to start making my own money aside, I walked over to my freshly built Multibot and ha the FBLAR-1 Laser Assault Rifle I had within my hands and told it. "Take this and guard the miunnel of this facility and alert me and or my gramps if there is any disturbance or ce to the colpsed se of the tunnel."

  "I shall carry your orders out, master." The robot responded in its deep robotic male voice, proceeding to carry out its ask.

  "Alice, e help me put together a ZBR-2 Laser Turret."

  "Okay."

  At my request, Alice speedily joined me in my work and for the several hours, we spent our time putting the turrets together. After all that effort, we mao finish assembling two more DBZ-2 Twin Laser Turrets. Following their pletion, I got gramps to help out with the heavy lifting, brought the urrets to the miunrance, and mouhem to the ceiling, joining the other two I had mouhere the day prior.

  | DBZ-2 Twin Laser Turret |Damage: 50Fire rate: 1,600Resistances: DT 110Weight: 120Value: 265,000Description: The DBZ-2 Twin Laser Turret is a double-barreled ser turret that alternates fire between its barrels to increase on durability and cooling. The turret utilizes a pair of microfusion breeder cells to power itself and has armor rated to stop .50 BMG. Designed by Dom Mason Woods.

  Things are ing along nicely. Those turrets bined with the other defense I've prepared should be more than enough for the current situation. Now I start fog greater attention on produ aing everything automated, but to do that I'll need more hands.

  Hence, I'll focus on produg more multibots for the time being and when I possess five of them in total, I'll s my priorities over to automating all the manufacturing maes I purchased.

  I doubt the molemen will make any moves this month. But in the event that they do, I'll just redirect my efforts tthening the defense further till they basically 't overwhelm them uhey get a massive equipment upgrade and in amassing numbers he colpse.

  Regarding the former, there are simply no locations or areas nearby where they could find equipment that they could use to clear the rubble. And going by the molemen they have statiohere, things will almost certainly remain quiet, at least for the meantime. All that said, once I get that bst door built at the entrance of the mine, I'm basically safe to do as I please for the foreseeable future.

  With those couple of turrets set into the pd my mind beginning to think about other areas that needed some brainst, there was very little time left until we had to go home, thus we ed things up for the day a course for home.

  Upon arriving back at home, I went through the usual routine alongside Alid eventually turned in for the night with her sleeping up against me while tg onto my left arm, as per usual.

  …

  A few months ter, as I was in the midst of one of my normal early m workouts deadlifting hundreds of pounds off the floor, attempting to beat my previous personal record. It took a minute, but I was eventually able to push through and lock the weight out and plete the lift, upping my personal record to a new high. The instant I did, I received a rare ping from the system, inf me I got a new perk from my heavy ons skill breag the 100 point skill ceiling.

  Fuck yeah, my strength or enduraribute must've increased again, maybe even both.

  Dropping the barbell onto the floor mats before me, I walked over to a nearby bend sat down, opening my system to see the new perk and what bes it would provide me with going forward.

  | Devastator | Requirements Heavy ons 101: All ons you use that fall uhe heavy ons category now deal 0.50% more damage for every skill point you have in your heavy ons skill instead of the previous 0.25%. On top of that, if the on is a ranged on, the velocity of all projectiles fired from it will be increased by the same pertage without any additional increase in recoil. Besides getting a damage and projectile velocity increase, you ow trol how much damage your heavy ons do on the fly via your will. You also do the same to your heavy ons accurad fire rate. Lastly, this ability ot be used to raise your accuracy, damage, and fire rate above what you are normally capable of.

  Damn, that's a nasty perk, heavy ons are already known for putting out big damage. This perk will just ihose numbers even further.

  Ecstatic about the new perk I obtained, I got back to it and tinued where I left off.
