My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 344 Star Network

"it is good."

Li Ye maintained his harmless expression; arrogance was acceptable, but it shouldn't arouse suspicion in the other party.

The opponent's rhythm has been disrupted, and now it's his turn to take the lead.

Li Ye's greatest strength lies in leading the rhythm and winning amidst chaos.

Xia Fei went out to gather more people, but Li Ye ignored the remaining cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance. People won't cherish what you beg for; only when everyone is vying for you can you reap the greatest benefits.

Once one's status is elevated, it's impossible to lower it again. A few Nascent Soul cultivators are not worth his respect and deference.

……

"Brother Mu, are you really at the Great Ascension Realm?" Hu Ming asked as they walked.

In a world teeming with mechanical beings, ordinary people have no reverence for cultivators.

After all, in their eyes, cultivators are old relics, and no matter how strong they are, they can't compare to the mechanical bodies that they can easily replace. Hu Ming just wanted to find out Li Ye's background.

“Yes,” Li Ye said.

"How old are you this year?" Hu Ming asked again.

"Twenty-five!" Li Ye casually said a number. His appearance was almost constant, and you couldn't tell his age from his appearance.

"Only twenty-five years old, and you've already reached the Mahayana realm?" Hu Ming looked at Li Ye in surprise. "Then you must have awakened some incredible derivative skill!"

“Everything grows!” Li Ye looked at Hu Ming and laughed. “I can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs, probably because I take a lot of drugs.”

“Your physical body seems stronger than that of a Mahayana Realm cultivator. Is it really not a derivative skill?” Hu Ming said. “Brother Mu, you’d better tell me the truth. It’s not easy for outsiders to join the Federation. If you give false information, the consequences will be very serious if it’s found out.”

“At my level, derivative skills are now just supplementary,” Li Ye said. “Hu Ming, weren’t you helping me understand this world? Is there any quicker way, like the internet or something?”

“We are called StarNet,” Hu Ming said. “But since you are not yet a legal citizen of the Interstellar Federation, you are not qualified to use StarNet. So, you can ask me any questions you may have.”

"How many time travelers have you recruited in total?" Li Ye asked.

"..." Hu Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Mu, this is top secret, I don't have the authority to know."

"Don't you have the authority?" Li Ye looked at Hu Ming with a smile. "Every time traveler possesses a demonic creature; they can't possibly remain unknown. How could it be classified?"

His divine sense covered the entire building, and Wan Ran reported his situation to the authorities, who were contacting the military to send someone. Xia Fei, on the other hand, reported his situation to the Cultivation Alliance. He was quite agitated and said that he would do everything in his power to bring him into the Cultivation Alliance.

“If Time Travelers were to develop their businesses locally, it could easily trigger social unrest,” Hu Ming said. “Therefore, most of them are dispatched overseas, and it is strictly forbidden for them to use derivative technologies to promote themselves locally.”

Overseas assignment?

Li Ye was slightly taken aback; this was indeed a very good solution.

He has experienced many worlds. Once the time traveler unleashes his power, the world will soon be in chaos. No wonder this world can remain peaceful despite the presence of so much demonic energy.

Using time-traveling beings to conquer the country is indeed a very good solution for those in power.

However, this method only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. Once the time travelers' skills become too powerful, how will they suppress them when they return? They will definitely have ways to counter the time travelers.

Only demons can restrain time travelers.

Therefore, those in power must possess enough demonic creatures to suppress the Time Travelers. Even if only one-tenth of the more than three hundred demonic energies were on this planet, it would be enough to establish a small demon-catching office.

Ten years have passed since the Demon-Suppressing Tower began releasing demonic energy. Each year, two more time travelers have entered this world. The initial demonic energy that escaped into this world is counted as five...

Li Ye asked, "How many civilizations have you conquered over the years?"

“Eleven,” Hu Ming said.

Li Ye roughly estimated the number of demons and thought to himself that this world has a deep foundation and he had to be careful. Golden Immortals are not omnipotent, and some demon-derived skills are hard to defend against.

Next.

Li Ye and Hu Ming tried to elicit information from each other.

Hu Ming asked Li Ye which worlds he had experienced, and Li Ye asked about the situation, population, monetary policy, and so on in those worlds.

Neither side was entirely truthful, their main purpose being to test each other and buy time. Although Hu Ming didn't reveal much information, Li Ye's divine sense could cover the entire city, and even ordinary people's conversations couldn't escape his ears.

With both pieces of evidence corroborated, Li Ye quickly grasped the basic operating principles of the world.

The world's focus was on external expansion. The homeland was basically peaceful, with little war. The only way for ordinary people to rise in society was to join an expeditionary force and earn military merit on the battlefield...

In order for their children to have a good mechanical body when they join the army, parents have to spend a lot of money to help their children improve their mental strength and buy mechanical equipment.

In this world of battlefields, equipment must be purchased by the user; the Federation does not provide it.

In this civilization dominated by machines, most people have given up their own bodies, and many basic human physical desires have greatly diminished. However, the pursuit of pleasure is human nature, so the Federation built a virtual interstellar network.

Entering the StarNet allows you to relive many of the joys of having a physical body, freely enjoying delicious food, pursuing relationships with men and women, and so on.

The StarNet charges based on time, and most ordinary people have to work on improving their own bodies and securing a future for their children, leaving very little time for seeking pleasure on the StarNet.

But they still have to go to the StarNet, because the StarNet is still the best place to increase combat experience.

The Federation allows real combat, but in real combat, once a mechanical body is damaged, repairing it requires a lot of money. In comparison, the cost of online combat on the StarNet, which can simulate everything, is negligible.

Capital, through the upgrading of mechanical systems and the Internet of Stars, has squeezed the world's labor force to its limits...

However, the main fighting force in this world is mechanical beings. If my teammate is attacked, he will probably be crippled. Mechanical beings do not feel pain. If you want to hurt your opponent, you have to attack your teammate's brain directly. But the brain is such a fragile organ. If you touch it casually, your teammate will either die or become stupid.

I can improve myself, but this is such a waste of my teammates.

If I dared to do that, I'd become the enemy of the world in no time...

If he wants to find teammates, he can only look for cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance. However, most cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance do not go to the battlefield. Does he have to cause chaos in the world in order to improve himself?
The hymn to life seems to have been rendered useless. He can indeed impregnate machines, but that doesn't have a deterrent effect!

Moreover, the wielders of the mechanical beings feel no pain or discomfort; rather than getting them pregnant, it's better to just separate them...

And his kitchen knife—it seems a bit difficult to trigger derivative skills without disrupting peace.

……

While pondering how to make the most of his skills in this world, Li Ye chatted casually with Hu Ming.

Soon.

Upon Wan's return, Li Ye already knew what they were going to do next, but he still asked, "Director Wan, can we begin the assessment now?"

“We’ll have to wait a little while,” Wan Ran said. “Before that, you can demonstrate your derivative skills.”

“No problem.” Li Ye looked at Wan Ran and said, “Could you find me some plants?”

“It’s right next door, and everything is ready,” Wan Ran said. “It’s some spiritual herbs used for cultivation.”

"Let's go!" Li Ye said indifferently.

……

It was still the same testing ground, and the equipment that Li Ye had damaged earlier had been cleaned up.

In the middle of the field, however, there were a few weak little grasses.

Li Ye recognized those small herbs as purple ginseng, a key ingredient in the Dragon Tiger Pill. It grows extremely slowly and has very demanding requirements for spiritual energy.

Xia Fei finished his call and returned to the testing ground, looking at Li Ye expectantly. The Mechanical Alliance didn't have a high demand for spiritual herbs. The nutrients needed for the brain weren't complicated and could be synthesized with modern technology. They were the ones who truly needed spiritual herbs and pills.

Li Ye looked at the few blades of grass, snapped his fingers, and quietly activated Demeter's divine skill.

The purple ginseng blossomed and bore fruit in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, it entered maturity.

Those present had sharp ears and eyes, and could see the changes in the ginseng without even pulling it out.

"Three-headed ginseng!" Xia Fei's eyes widened in disbelief. He knelt before the purple ginseng, his hand reaching out to pull it out, yet he couldn't bear to damage the perfect plant. Tears welled in his eyes with excitement. "In an instant, seven top-grade three-headed ginsengs were created, without any spiritual energy assistance! Divine skill! This is simply divine skill! The Cultivation Alliance is saved..."

"This is the growth of all things and the abundance of fruit." Li Ye proudly introduced his skills, "With these two divine skills, I have turned a small sect into a super sect."
