\===============/

I have advanced much in the near month time I have been here and haven't even come close to becoming bored!

I don't know why, but just watching my Colonies grow, and life live on in the wasteland was more than enough to ease my boredom.

Plus, I was having fun.

Sadly, I didn't really have anyone to talk to except Randall and I haven't seen him in a while and the only other sign of people were the humanoid figures in the distance that were scavenging on the highway during the day near Vegas.

Plus, I don't think Vegas will get many visitors due to it being mostly a hot desert, and there are bound to be many pockets of radiation on the highways to Vegas making it even harder for those that wish to travel to vegas.

Well, besides Traveling Ghouls or Super Mutants who can resist the Radiation, most wouldn't dare to travel to Vegas.

Besides, Vegas ain't all that good of a place to live in... it's a desert with the only local water source being Lake Mead, there are also hostile animals littered across the place with food hard to come by.

Even Bandits liter the Mojave Wasteland...

So although I am...desperate to meet new people, I am not ???????????????? desperate.

Before long the night arrived and I hunted down a few more animals and finally hit level 5!

[Congratulations on reaching level 5!]

[Congratulations on unlocking the special plant, Oak Spore Tree, upon planting a sapling in a location the area will become a Colony, allowing the user to begin using his abilities to expand, note that it will take a month for a sapling to grow to maturity, it will cost 1,000 Energy to create a sapling]

[Congratulations on unlocking the Neural Implant Seed G1, upon growing the seed and placing it against a being's head, the seed will burrow painlessly into the person's skull and implant itself onto the being's cerebral cortex, allowing the user to telepathically communicate with the holder of the seed, costs 100 Energy to create]

Oh?!

Such great rewards for hitting level 5!

Besides that, the Oak Spore Tree!

I can finally go set up a Colony on the Mountain's Ski Resort!

Although it is kind of bothering with how much energy it costs and how long it would take for it to reach maturity I do like the two new gains from the level.

Strangely enough the Neural Implant seed was a literal seed the size of a fingernail that greatly resembled a worm with a sharp tip.

Luckily it didn't have the appearance or texture of a worm and just looked like a small and sharp long green seed with a sharp tip.

Now then, I guess I will start absorbing some Energy, I want to get an Oak Spore Tree sapling as soon as possible.

Before long the day and night passed and by the next day, I had enough Energy to finally create the sapling!

Once created I had the sapling and its soil transported by a few of the stronger Spore Carrier variants in my vault up the mountain.

And by the time they reached the Ski Resort on Mount Charleston above, the night was closing in, just before sundown, I had the Spore Carriers dig a hole in the empty field on the western part of the Ski Resort.
