My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 342 A Civilization Expanding at an Astounding Rate

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the police station to report."

Hu Ming did not ask for more information.

In fact, he had already done enough. He had confirmed Li Ye's identity, and naturally, someone of a higher rank would be in charge of making the contact.

The words fell.

A nearby aircraft automatically opened its hatch: "Please come in!"

The aircraft were empty; all of them were controlled by Hu Ming alone.

"Elder Xia, shouldn't we try again?" A cultivator next to Xia Fei couldn't help but shout as Li Ye swiftly boarded the flying vehicle. "Young brother, cultivation is the true path. Relying on external things for your body will only lead to losing control one day..."

snort!
Hu Ming sneered: "Xia Fei, keep your men in check. Don't say things you shouldn't, lest you cause trouble for the Cultivation Alliance..."

The man's expression changed, and he awkwardly fell silent.

Li Ye sighed. In this world where machines are prevalent, cultivators have been suppressed to the point of being unable to raise their heads.

The cabin canopy slowly closed, and Hu Ming ignored Xia Fei and the others, turning and leaving with Li Ye.

Xia Fei and the others hesitated for a moment before following behind the aircraft. Their speed was similar to, or even a little slower than, that of the aircraft. Compared to Hu Ming, who was sitting in the aircraft, they did not seem to appear any more otherworldly or otherworldly.

Li Ye thought to himself, with the mass production of flying machines, it would take at least several hundred years to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. Furthermore, equipping the flying machines with suitable weapons would make it perfectly normal for them to suppress cultivators...

"This aircraft is called the Divine Transformation One, and it is designed to be used by those at the Divine Transformation Realm. It is controlled by my brainwaves." Hu Ming didn't care about Xia Fei and the others chasing behind him. His voice rang out in the cabin, constantly instilling in Li Ye the benefits of the Mechanical Alliance. "My current mental power can control one main unit and two auxiliary units at the same time. Even those at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm are no match for me."

"Can your brainwaves keep up with the reaction speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator?" Li Ye asked.

“Mu Ye, don’t underestimate the human brain. Once freed from the constraints of the body, the brain releases tremendous energy, capable of handling many things simultaneously,” Hu Ming said. “Of course, we also have meditation methods specifically for honing mental strength. When meditation is cultivated to its highest level, coupled with auxiliary machinery, one person can be a fleet, even capable of conquering a civilization. We are already far ahead of the ancient cultivation civilizations.”

"Just now, I heard you say that Liao Zhong led the expeditionary force to expand territory abroad. Where do you mean by 'outside'?" Li Ye asked.

“Naturally, it’s other civilizations,” Hu Ming said. “The manufacture of mechanical bodies requires a lot of resources. If we don’t develop them for external use, the resources on the planet will not be enough. Moreover, the technology of other civilizations always brings us surprises.”

The reason I asked you to join the Mechanical Alliance is because Time Travelers can only play their greatest role on the battlefield. General Liao now has a nickname: the King of Disassembly. There is no object in the world that he cannot disassemble. Many people admire General Liao and regard him as an idol..."

"Have you mastered the technology of space jump?" Li Ye asked.

"We've restored the ancient teleportation array," Hu Ming said. "Through this array, we can quickly transport our troops to the vicinity of other civilizations. Moreover, our modified bodies are not afraid of any harsh environment, and we have already conquered many civilizations."

Sometimes we encounter time travelers who are on missions in other civilizations. Most of them choose to join us, while those who disagree are killed and their monsters are taken away…”

Cow breaking!

Li Ye couldn't help but give a silent thumbs-up.

Although this civilization seems a bit domineering, I have to say, joining such a civilization is really awesome!

Ordinary time travelers would probably have no way to deal with them!
After all, this was a group of mechanical experts comparable to Nascent Soul, Void Refinement, or Mahayana realms, and they were not afraid of death.

Even if the auxiliary aircraft is destroyed, it can be replenished in no time upon returning to the spaceship.

I imagined myself in the worlds I've traveled through, and apart from the worlds of Shu Kun, Mu Zha, and the Olympian gods, it seemed that none of the previous worlds could do anything about them.

Moreover, their expeditionary force used time travelers as scouts, and time travelers knew the characteristics of demons best...

However, this guy said that if he didn't join them, he would be killed and his demonic creatures would be taken away. Was he threatening him?
"Fool." The cleaver couldn't help but comment in his mind. "The physical body bears everything and has infinite possibilities. Losing the physical body means locking in your future and your limits. What's there to be proud of?"

"That's not entirely true. Ordinary people may lack the aptitude for cultivation, but at least they can let ordinary people experience the joy of being a powerful being." Li Ye smiled, communicating with the kitchen knife through his divine sense. "Ordinary people make up the majority!"

"Don't let them fool you and alter your body!" the kitchen knife warned.

"What a joke! I am a Golden Immortal, with a physical body comparable to that of the Witch Clan. How could I possibly be replaced by mechanical parts?" Li Ye looked at the steel cage in front of him. "I could shatter this broken cage with just one finger."

The auxiliary machine that Hu Ming provided for Li Ye was a cage, with four weapon launchers even pointed at him.

However, the walls of the cage displayed the outside scenery in sync, making it appear as if he were riding in an aircraft.

Under Li Ye's perception, nothing could hide, but he didn't care at all. At least he needed to understand the specific situation of this world before he could decide what role he should play in it.

That's right.

Having learned that this world possesses the ability to repair the ancient teleporters, he has decided to sever his connection with the Demon Suppression Tower and remain in this world.

As long as he can repair the teleportation array, his possibilities are limitless. Moreover, the longer he possesses the same monster, the more derivative skills he acquires. What if he even encounters the team emblem and the scroll?
Those two were his favorite demons; at least Aya was practical and very useful...

……

The skill of speaking.

Hu Ming flew him into a coastal city.

The city is filled with skyscrapers, and all kinds of aircraft shuttle through it, but most of them are not as fast as Hu Ming's Huashen No. 1.

On the ground, there are many vehicles that resemble cars.

Pedestrians were coming and going on the street.

Most people accepted the modifications, but the modifications were not thorough. Some people had their arms replaced, some had their legs replaced, and some only had their hands or eyes replaced...

Not everyone is like Hu Ming, who underwent almost complete transformation.

Indeed, every world is divided into different classes.

None of the children under sixteen received mechanical modifications, presumably because their skeletal systems hadn't fully developed yet. However, their discussions mostly revolved around what kind of mechanical devices they wanted to buy in the future, or researching new materials and designing their own mechanical devices...

The streets are mostly lined with shops selling all sorts of mechanical devices, each with different functions and high prices. Many people linger and browse among them, but there are even more shops that offer custom-made mechanical prosthetics...

This is a world almost entirely dominated by mechanical beings. Li Ye asked, "Hu Ming, are mechanical prosthetics very expensive?"

"Society needs class divisions," Hu Ming said dismissively. "No matter which world you're in, outstanding people always enjoy more, don't they? You don't need to worry about that. You're a time traveler, destined for great success. Just don't forget to help me out when the time comes. I still want to replace my mechanical body with a Void Refinement Realm one!"

While talking.

Hu Ming's aircraft flew into a building called the Public Security Bureau and landed on the rooftop helipad.

There were already people waiting here.

Clearly, Hu Ming's aircraft was equipped with real-time monitoring devices, and the Public Security Bureau already knew what had happened.

"Mu Ye, my name is Wan Ran, Director of the Haihua City Public Security Bureau. I welcome you on behalf of the Federal Government." The leader was a young man in his early twenties, but beneath his skin were sophisticated machines.

Except for his brain, his entire body was replaced, even the skin on his body was made of artificial skin.

"Hello, Director Wan." Li Ye smiled and nodded at him, looking at the building behind him. The building was made of metal, and many weapons were embedded in it, ready to be activated.

Beneath the police station lies a massive energy supply pool.

“Mu Ye, we still need to conduct some basic tests on your abilities before we can report your information and tailor a suitable promotion plan for you.” Wan Ran’s gaze lingered on Li Ye’s Eye of Truth for a moment, and a standard smile appeared on his face. “Don’t worry, these tests will not cause any harm to your body, and they will be sent to the Federal Council simultaneously, where you will be given a score on the spot.”

"Okay." Li Ye nodded. "How do we test it?"

Xia Fei and the others also arrived at the police station and stood silently to the side, looking at Li Ye with burning eyes, without saying a word.

"Elder Xia, is there anything else?" Wan Ran turned to Xia Fei and asked.

"Director Wan, we just want to observe Mu Ye's strength, is that alright?" Xia Fei said.

“Of course, no problem. The Cultivation Alliance is also a member of the Federation and has the same rights as us. Elder Xia doesn’t need to be here in person; the test results will be sent to the Cultivation Alliance simultaneously,” Wan Ran said, his face always bearing a calm smile. His mechanical body could perfectly make any expression, completely concealing his emotions.

Too fake!
Looking at Wan Ran's almost perfect body, Li Ye sighed inwardly. Although they could easily possess great strength, the losses were too great. The seemingly perfect body revealed stiffness everywhere and was not natural at all.

I wouldn't even take a body like that if it were given to me.

A world full of mechanical beings is completely devoid of life. It's only because this world is connected to other civilizations that Li Ye would most likely not have settled here.

"Please." Wan Ran ignored Xia Fei, turned around and beckoned to Li Ye. Then, he stepped aside and led the way.

Li Ye followed.

The group arrived at a huge testing ground.

The testing ground has been cleared out, with only many instruments placed in the middle of the field.

"Mu Ye, next, we will conduct various basic attribute tests on you, as well as the derivative skill tests and combat tests you mentioned. You should be fine with that!"

Wan Ran introduced the test items to Li Ye, but her tone carried an air of absolute authority.
