Chapter 16 - 16: Blessings

[So...lol, never really bothered to do accurate calculations but...the MC is producing way more energy than I thought...

Basically, once you do the math, a SINGLE Mufruit tree produces 5,400 energy per day in vegas since it gets around 15 hours of sunlight...which means since the MC currently has 38 of such trees...he is producing an astonishing 205,200...and that's not counting the grass...well, I screwed up lol I guess I will try to fix this mess as I go on since I seem to screw up the novel even more if I were to go back and fix(did go back to the last chapter and...cough, up the prices of the blessings and curses]

I first started with blessing Elijah with [Bark Skin] and watched as a green glow seemed to come off the walls, ceiling and the entire vault before green particles of light came crashing down on Elijah like a Green wave.

I watched as the green particles of energy began fusing with his skin and by the time the green energy was completely absorbed Elijah's skin was quite literally as tough as Bark, which would be great in combat situations where armor couldn't protect him.

Next, I blessed Elijah with Solar Powered and watched as the same phenomenon happened just like last time but this time the energy seemed to fuse with his entire body.

Then after some testing, I learned some things, basically, they would be moving attractors of Energy.

They would transfer part of this energy directly to me just like my plants and use the rest of the energy to passively strengthen his muscles and hardening his skin even further in daylight and also provide small amounts of energy that would be transformed into nutrients for his body, he would still need food since this particular part couldn't be used for longer than three days.

[A/N: Basically, Solar Powered does the following(I based this off of the Perk from the Fallout Games): [Minor Health Regneration], [+1 Strength and Endurance], and [Hunger Resistance while Bark Skin adds +1 Endurance]

These two blessings were so good and powerful I waited a full hour until I had enough to bless each and every one of the Rangers with the two blessings.

I then blessed Elijah with Nature's Child, but nothing seemed to happen, I guess I will need some time before I can find out what that particular expensive blessing would bring.

I had to wait to regenerate my energy since I have been using all of my energy on creating water, food, and expanding the colony in Zion Valley, speaking of which, I managed to extend the colony over the river and to the central piece of land in Zion Valley.

Anyway, back to the topic.

Focusing back on the rangers, I had them stay here at the Main colony for the rest of the day so they could get used to their new strengths.

By the time Claire returned to the Vault with her spore carrier guards, she had quite the haul, it seemed news of our existence was spreading throughout all of New Vegas.

Claire managed to earn a little over a thousand caps in just a single span of a day, but she also sold out all of the water and food I had available.

This means I need to use a decent chunk of Energy to create even more Food and Water.

Well, no problem.

After a few days passed I gathered the Rangers once again and created three different Spore Oak Tree Saplings.

"Elijah, Vale, and Chris, I have something I wish to speak with you all about," I told the three Rangers before looking at all 10 of the rangers before me.

"Now that all of you have gained control of your new strength you are free to leave and begin your journies whenever you wish, all I ask is that when you all face a danger you cannot defend yourselves against, you have a place here, you have a family here that is willing to do everything in order to save, may nature guide and protect you all," I told the Rangers my speech before looking at the three I talked to previously.

"Elijah, Vale, Chris, I gathered you three together because I have a mission of great importance for each of you, Elijah," I spoke before looking at Elijah who was staring off into space since I did not have a physical form.

"Yes, Master?" Asked Elijah.

"For you, you will carry one of the Spore Sapling and venture to Boston and plant the Sapling in a secluded location where you will care for it and nurture it until it reaches maturity, from there you will become the Elder and should search for those who can protect the colony, if you need any more guidance or would simply just like to have someone to talk to, then you need only talk to me," I instructed him before handing him the spore oak tree sapling that was in a dormant state that would only wake up upon being planted into the ground.

"It would be my honor," Elijah told me as he bowed in respect.

You see, I have been teaching these Rangers about my own personal morals and even a set of morals I created specifically for the Rangers.

"Now then, Vale and Chris, you both will also hold such an honor, but the places you will be going to will be just as dangerous, are you willing to tred upon this long road that lies ahead?"
