" Finally done "
It's 24 hours later after I upgraded the base and all my upgrades are finish.
And fortunately, because my night and morning were horrible.
To begin with, the works made much more noise than usual. As a result, I woke up every hour and did not fall asleep directly. I had to wait 10 or 20 minutes before going back to sleep.
Then in the morning I dealt with Chiyoko who had a bad night and she is much worse than when she lacks sleep.
The first word she said to me when she saw me was "I hate you" and then I haven't seen her all day.
These simple words hurt me a lot, surprisingly.
But I could only agree with her. After so long without sleep, I did some work. I should have waited a day or two before. We could have recovered.
Following what Chiyoko told me, I was quite depressed. I wonder why a single word from her affects me so much but I think it's because of the fatigue I have.
I drag myself heavily with my head down towards the office of the arsenal. Once there, I open the office door and look inside.
It is a very minimalist office.
There's just a desk with a chair and a computer on it and that's it.
As soon as I'm done analyzing and it took me a while due to my condition, I go straight to the chair and sit down.
I turn to face the computer screen and venture there.
Using the computer cheered me up a bit. I remembered all the sleepless nights I have on the computer. All the games I've done. Anyway, it takes me back, before I get dragged into this damn world.
Once my nostalgia is gone, I focus on the screen.
The screen has the same display as my system. A list of land vehicles with the possibility of carrying out a search and I have several tabs which distribute the vehicles. Example: Medium tank, light tank, heavy tank, personnel carrier, ....
And the little extra that makes me very happy is when I select a vehicle, several images, of this vehicle with a small description, its usefulness in combat and its capabilities.
For example, the first vehicle is the "Panther KF51" for 500,000 silvers.
Description: "A prototype medium tank from the German firm Rheinmetall. Its 130mm cannon will butcher the most armored enemies with a precious devastating effect. It is also equipped with a quadruple erectile launcher to launch prowling ammo, perfect for confusing the enemy. In addition, two machine guns are equipped on it. One on a removable turret and another coaxial. The panther has other features that make it an excellent tank in all possible situations. "
And with this description, some photos of the tank. You can see the inside of the tank, the outside when the tank fires, …
With all that, I can finally know what I'm buying and fortunately because considering the price. I even wonder why it costs so much. It's as expensive as my boat.
Maybe it's so expensive because it's a prototype? Or maybe because I can only buy it here and not in the system? I really wonder...
Anyway, I don't come here to buy a tank. I need a vehicle where I can sleep in. So, I know directly that I have to go with vehicles with a lot of room inside and which are quite armored. If it doesn't, then there's no point sleeping in it.
To begin my research, I'm going to go into armored personnel carriers.
After a vigorous search, I find what I want.
It's the "SuperAV" and it costs 250,000 silvers.
Description: "The SuperAV is an amphibian armored tactical vehicle. It can cross most terrain. It can carry between 8 and 12 passengers. Its greatest asset is modularity. It can accommodate a 40 mm grenade launcher turret, a 30 mm turret and many more. "
What attracted me is the possibility of having a turret, the space and that it is amphibious.
With that, we can go anywhere.
Without wasting any more time in useless reflections, I buy.
After selecting buy, a new page opens. This page contains many options that I can have with the SuperAV.
The options it offers me are several types of turret, different protections, several different engines, …
If I tell you correctly, I have 150,000 silvers left. I have to keep +/- 50,000 silvers for any unforeseen expenses. I therefore have 100,000 silvers of improvement left.
With a quick calculation of all the upgrades I want, that comes to me at 75,000 silvers.
"Perfect! I have enough silvers "
The upgrades I take are the remote controlled 30mm turret, an armor kit and a 750-horsepower motor. Each of the upgrades cost 25,000 silvers.
With all this, I select confirm and a progress bar appears on the screen telling me that it will take 4 hours before my vehicle is built.
A good thing actually.
Now I have to face two problems. My boredom and Chiyoko.
I have absolutely no idea what to do to make up for giving her a horrible night.
Maybe I can buy her a new gun? No, she doesn't like firearms that much. Finally, she finds them good but if you want to break through magic protection, you have to quickly get into bigger and heavier weapons and it's not her way of fighting.
Can I cook a good meal? No, I can only make rations and I don't even know how to cook.
What to do ?
After several minutes of pointless thinking, I give up.
"Too bad, I'm not going to do anything. I imagine that with a good night's sleep, she will forgive me. "
Thinking of a good night's sleep, I notice that it's quite late and I'm very tired.
*Yawn*
"Well, I think I find a solution for my boredom, my bed "
