My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 172: Ruins Survival Rules Are More Suitable for Cities
The border between the Federation and the ruins is a thick high wall, with only one city gate remaining as an entrance and exit.

The city wall is nearly thirty meters high and is covered with things that look like high-voltage power grids.

There are also densely packed weapons and surveillance probes on the battlements.

There are many people going in and out of the ruins. The soldiers at the checkpoints will check their identification but not the supplies they carry.

This should be the rule of the Federation. Otherwise, any gains in the ruins will be exposed, and the strong will obviously not be satisfied.

However, behind the level, there are many people buying star beads, and the price they offer is not low...

Most of the soldiers on duty at the city gate were armed with guns, and some used cold weapons. Li Ye could not tell their fighting strength.

Spiritual and divine powers were forbidden. Li Yetun could jump over the more than 30-meter-high wall relying on his physical strength, but the noise he made would be too loud.

After all, there are surveillance cameras on the city walls.

If it is high-speed surveillance, no matter how fast he is, he will be captured.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Ye does not intend to take this risk. It is good to slowly integrate into this world through He Xu and others...

After watching He Xu and others enter the city gate, Li Ye continued to observe the flow of people in and out of the city gate, as well as the strictness of the inspection, before silently returning to the fog.

He Xu and others said that masters above level seven do not need to wear protective clothing and can walk freely in the ruins.

But among the people Li Ye observed, all of them were wearing protective clothing, without exception. It seemed that the people of the Federation were very afraid of the ruins...

……

While waiting for He Xu and others to return, Li Ye observed the fighting style of those who explored the ruins.

They also use skills.

Similar to the amplification skills for companions, the skills to slow down mutant beasts, and the healing skills...

It should be a unique skill belonging to this world.

People who enter the ruins will not only dig star beads, but also dissect the corpses of mutant beasts and take some bones or meat back.

Most of what they brought back was meat from herbivores.

To be precise, it is the meat of former herbivores, because the herbivores were also forced to eat meat in the ruins.

As for carnivores, they mostly take bones, as well as some special organs such as eyeballs, whips, claws, etc.

as predicted.

People in every world are keen on curing like with like.

Li Ye felt a little strange about herbivores eating meat.

Because the ecological chain has completely collapsed, according to scientific reasoning, there should be no animals living in the ruins, but it seems that all animals are surviving well...

This ruin is really weird!
……

About four hours later, Li Ye returned to the previous waiting point.

He Xu and others rushed back panting, and seeing that Li Ye was still there, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they saw Qiu Feipeng on the ground, a trace of helplessness and fear flashed across their faces.

Because Qiu Feipeng's head was smashed open in the end, and his white brain matter was mixed up into a mess.

Rongrong couldn't help but dry heaving a few times, but she didn't blame Li Ye. She couldn't expect a person who had lived in the ruins for eighteen years to listen to them 100% after meeting them once.

He Xu forced himself not to look at Qiu Feipeng's body and handed over a set of protective clothing: "Huang, put on this protective clothing."

Li Ye obediently took the protective suit.

Just about to put it on.

Rongrong came over and said, "Wait, let me put some makeup on you. Your face is a little too handsome. When you get to the checkpoint, people will notice it at a glance. And you have to cut off your long hair, too."

"Yeah." Li Ye nodded and let her do it.

Rongrong stood in front of him, putting makeup on Li Ye. As she was putting makeup on, her face turned red involuntarily, and even her breathing became a little rapid.

"Why are you blushing?" Li Ye asked.

"You're so handsome." Rongrong glanced at him and said, "You'd better cover your face when you go out next time. Otherwise, even if you do nothing, you'll attract a bunch of investigators."

"Sister Rongrong's worry is justified." The baby-faced man smiled, "I suspect that Huang's genes were modified from the moment he was born. Otherwise, how could there be such a perfect person?"

"I wish I was the one who got genetically modified!" Another girl prepared haircutting tools and cut Li Ye's hair. She said sourly, "Your hair is so smooth and silky. I'm so envious."

"What are you talking about?" Li Ye pretended to be stupid.

"You'll know later." Rongrong smiled. "By the way, from now on, your name is no longer Huang, but He Fei. Wait until we find a way to get you a new certificate, and then you can change your name."

"Yes." Li Ye nodded, "From now on, my name is He Fei."

"My name is Liu Rongrong." Rongrong said, "He Xu, you already know. The one who cuts your hair is Yang Qi, the one with the round face is Chi Wenjie, and the remaining one is Hou Ran. Remember our names. Although the checkpoint won't check them, just in case, don't call the wrong ones."

"I understand." Li Ye nodded again and followed them all the way. He had already memorized the names of several people.

After everything was ready, the erhu was wrapped in cloth, and He Xu and others took Li Ye back to Hexi City.

When passing the checkpoint, He Xu and others were so nervous that they stuttered, but Li Ye was extremely calm and his breathing was not disordered.

……

"Huang, your performance was amazing."

Coming out of the checkpoint, Liu Rongrong patted her chest gently to ease her nervousness, "You don't know, how afraid I was that you'd be exposed!" If anyone was going to be exposed, it would be you. You didn't know that your hearts were beating like drums, and you didn't even notice that the soldiers at the checkpoint had taken their turns.

Li Ye was speechless for a while, and had to remind them: "Your heartbeats are too fast. Two soldiers are looking at you with strange eyes, and they keep looking this way."

"..." He Xu and others subconsciously wanted to turn back.

"Don't look back. When hunting, it's best not to look directly at the prey. Let the prey ignore your presence, and your success rate will increase." Li Ye said.

"Brother Xu, they won't find out, right?" The baby-faced Chi Wenjie's face suddenly changed and he asked stutteringly.

"..." He Xu was quite embarrassed. He didn't expect that they would be the ones to be exposed.

Li Ye observed his surroundings.

There are tall buildings everywhere, cars on the ground, and rail transit-like tools in the sky. It looks like a modern city.

He shrugged his nose and the air was normal.

There was no longer the cold and evil feeling of oppression in the mist of ruins, but his spiritual power and divine power were still running sluggishly, and this place was still covered by the rules of the avenue.

Li Ye's behavior was consistent with his personality, but He Xu and others were already in a panic.

"Brother Xu, what should we do?" Chi Wenjie asked, "Will they find out about Huang?"

"How should I know? Let's go, leave here first and then think of a solution." He Xu said.

A bunch of idiots.

When you encounter trouble, you don't know how to solve it and just run away.

Li Ye took out a Wild Wolf Star Bead from his pocket and said, "Find a place to sell this, and no one will suspect you."

“……” He Xu was stunned.

"Great!" Hou Ran looked at Li Ye in surprise and asked, "How did you come up with that?"

"When I'm hunting and encounter mutant beasts that I can't defeat, I'll leave some prey behind to lure them away." Li Ye glanced at him and said, "I'm just not familiar with your rules, but I'm not stupid."

Instead of helping, they needed a savage to help them solve the problem, and he used the survival rules of the ruins. He Xu blushed and took the star beads from Li Ye, then turned to the sales points to ask about the price.

After being enlightened by Li Ye, he finally became much smarter. When the other party asked him, he said that they had picked up the body of a dead wild wolf by chance.

There are always lucky ruins explorers who pick up the corpses of mutant beasts...

When He Xu took out the Wild Wolf's star beads for trade, the soldiers who were paying attention to them turned their eyes away awkwardly.

The wild wolf is a fourth-order mutant beast. It may be a good thing for a few college students who have not yet graduated, but it is not worth their risk.

"Let's go!" After selling the star beads of the wild wolf, He Xu came back happily, "Let's go, we will divide the star coins equally after we go back, and the nutrient solution will be enough before graduation."

talking.

Several people left the checkpoint happily.

Apart from a few envious glances occasionally, no one took them seriously.

In the eyes of the ruins explorers, these are just some lucky kids.

Moreover, picking up a wild wolf bead is not a good thing for them, because it will make them enter the ruins with a fluke mentality.

Relying on luck is the biggest taboo in ruins exploration.

……

"Huang, thanks to you." Liu Rongrong said excitedly, "Otherwise, we would be in big trouble."

"Well, I'll have to rely on you guys in the future." Li Ye looked around, observing the surrounding environment, and said vigilantly, "This place is too strange, it's completely different from the ruins."

"It's better than the air in the ruins!" Liu Rongrong held Li Ye's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll arrange a place for you to stay first, and then get you some delicious food. If you eat too much raw meat, you will definitely fall in love with federal cuisine."

"I don't eat raw meat. I roast the meat before eating." Li Ye looked at Liu Rongrong strangely and said.

"..." Liu Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and said with a red face, "Okay, okay, I won't eat raw meat. I was wrong, but you have never eaten federal delicacies, right?"

"Yeah." Li Ye nodded, cooperated with them, pointed at the car and asked, "What is that?"

When Li Ye started asking questions, Liu Rongrong and the others regained some confidence and rushed to answer.
"Power locomotives, energy bars provide them with energy. In the Federation, everything needs energy."

"Energy requires money, which is the star coins that Brother Xu just mentioned, but star coins need to be stored in the identity certificate, so you can't use them yet..."

Everyone was talking at once to help Li Ye introduce the new things in the Federation.

Li Ye quickly understood the composition of this world.

This place is similar to Earth, except that the basic energy is different. Earth uses electrical energy and magnetic energy, while here we use something like an energy bar.

Energy bars can be mined directly.

People in this world generally cultivate star power, which can temper their bodies. When they reach a certain age, they need to light up their life stars.

After the destiny star is lit up, some star skills will be awakened randomly. These are the skills that Li Ye saw those people using in the ruins. Different destiny stars will awaken different skills, including auxiliary, offensive, medical and so on.

The function of the star beads is to help increase star power and improve the level of star skills...

The number of life stars that light up determines their strength. The strongest ninth-level master has as many as three hundred and sixty-five life stars lit up.

The number of life stars lit up by He Xu and others is between 10 and 30, and they are second-level star users.
