The next day.
Getting up from bed as usual, I ran through my morning routine and sat down at my desk.
Today is my eleventh birthday, but it's only around 2:00 in the morning, so I have quite a lot of time. That said, I'm unable to go to the Genesis Foundry today because of what's occurring today, not to mention tomorrow which will also be occupied by Alice's birthday. Thus, the question is, what do I want to get done this morning?
I have about five hours before anyone starts waking up. I could go workout like I usually do... Hmm, actually I'ma change things up today and study. I don't normally study in the early morning, but I feel as if I'm on the cusp of finishing my Seeker Of Knowledge quest, therefore I might as well see if I can't get that completed.
Decision made, I booted up my desktop and got to it, going from one subject to another, learning and soaking up all the knowledge that was available on the undercity web. The moment the hour mark rolled around, I heard a ding and got a notification from my system, notifying me that I had finally accumulated enough knowledge.
*Ding*
[Quest has been completed]
Looks like I'm done gathering knowledge from the undercity web. Guess I'll have to raise my skills via my own efforts and coming across new information out in the wasteland from this point forward. There could be some hidden databases in the undercity that might contain more advanced information that could help advance my skills. However, I believe my time would be better spent elsewhere.
Thankfully, I have multiple things I want to research, such as removing the negative side effects of maxigen. So it won't be all that difficult to continue improving my intelligence and more sciency-based skills. As for my combat skills, those will certainly experience a sizable jump, although how big that jump will be depends entirely on how many molemen I end up exterminating.
Now when do I want to undergo my level up, I could wait until after both mine and Alice's birthdays, thereby pushing it off until the 8th of August... Yeah, I've delayed it this long already, I can wait a couple more days.
Planning to level up on the eighth, I left my room behind and went downstairs to workout since I had nothing better to do while everyone was recharging their batteries. I spent the following four hours putting myself through the metaphorical meat grinder, occasionally injecting myself with medstims to speed up my body's regeneration speed. Which I can say for certain at this point from my experience and research accelerates my gains massively.
From my gym sesh, I proceeded back up to my bedroom and returned to bed again, rejoining Alice for a bit, at least until she woke up. As I laid there with little to do, I ran and played out numerous scenarios of what I may experience and or encounter when I depart on my molemen extermination mission. I did that for an unknown number of minutes until I sensed the sleeping beauty beside beginning to wake with my perception field.
The time to end the current scenario, I was imagining here involving a three-way war between the molemen, myself, and a massive nest of rock scorpions. I looked at Alice and greeted her brightly. "Mornin, beautiful."
"Good morning, handsome." She returned, smiling.
Good mornings out of the way, the two of us spent a few minutes chilling and chatting when Alice suddenly spoke up and said. "Stay right here, Dom. I'll be right back."
Right as she got up and planted her feet on our bedroom floor, she sped out of the room. No more than a minute later, she returned just as quickly with a wrapped gift box held behind her back.
