My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 61: The Argumentative
He had long black hair and sparkling eyes. He wore a grey linen robe and carried a walnut staff with a blue gem inlaid on the top.

This was the first impression Song Jiani gave to Li Ye.

Li Ye also had some other information about Song Jiani. She was 24 years old, an orphan, and graduated from the Department of Philosophy at National Tsinghua University. The world she first traveled to was a doomsday world where zombies broke out, and the monster she chose was a key.

In that world, she built a shelter and brought back some zombie crystal cores. She didn't have any awakening derivative skills, nor did she eliminate the evil spirit that traveled through the world...

When she traveled through time for the second time, the monster she chose was a trumpet...

……

It was the third day after Song Jiani returned that Li Ye saw her again.

At that time, Li Ye had completed transcribing the secret book and was preparing for his second time travel.

But he insisted on meeting Song Jiani.

After all, the time traveler's experience can be used as a reference, and what if Song Jiani can bring back some resources that may be useful to him?
……

Looking at Song Jiani across from him, Li Ye took the initiative to extend his hand: "Hello, I'm Li Ye."

"I know you. The psychologist's assessment of you is uncertainty, a very special case." Song Jiani shook Li Ye's hand and nodded politely, "Uncertainty means infinite possibilities."

Thinking of that inexplicable psychological test, Li Ye laughed in his heart.

uncertain?
After the test, the psychologists looked at me as if I were a monster. If I hadn't still had my sanity, those guys would have suppressed me on the spot.

Song Jiani looked at Li Ye and shook her head: "Li Ye, you don't have to wait for me. The world we have experienced, including my experience of using monsters, has no real meaning to you. Only what you have experienced and thought about in person are truly yours, just like I can't copy the path you have walked."

Song Jiani stated his purpose directly, and Li Ye was not surprised.

After all, the two parties didn't know each other before, and meeting in such an environment couldn't possibly be a blind date.

Li Ye actually liked the other party's straightforward personality. At least he didn't do a lot of preparation like Yang Feng did. He smiled and said, "It makes sense. Just like the philosophy you study, if you don't study the works of your predecessors, how can you reach a higher level?"

"It's different." Song Jiani said, "Whether it's time travel or monsters, they are all unfamiliar to you and me. Moreover, the world we entered is full of uncertainty. In this case, my experience will only interfere with you and cannot provide you with effective help.

Moreover, the example you just gave is not correct. The works of philosophical predecessors are indeed useful, but not all of them are useful. The world is changing all the time. If you want to be a true philosopher, you must abandon their influence and walk your own path.

Moreover, philosophy is essentially the study of the world. Now, the appearance of demonic energy and the Demon Suppression Tower is enough to prove that our predecessors did not even see through the true nature of the world..."

Seeing that Song Jiani suddenly changed the topic to philosophy, Li Ye interrupted her awkwardly: "Sister Song, reference also makes sense, just like the keys and horns you used. If I chose the same thing..."

"Will you choose the monster I have used before?" Song Jiani asked with a smile.

"..." Li Ye was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No."

"When you asked me, you had already chosen the monster deep in your heart." Song Jiani said, "Then follow your heart and don't be disturbed by the outside world. When you have made a choice, any attempt to seek advice from others will only add to your troubles and will ultimately bring you negative effects."

"..." Li Ye suddenly asked, "Sister Song, what do you think the Demon Suppression Tower is?"

"I don't know." Song Jiani looked at Li Ye and suddenly smiled. "I can only tell you that existence is reasonable. What we need to do is to verify why it exists and find the reasons behind its appearance. Then we can clear the fog and see the true face of this world."

Li Ye suddenly understood why Yang Feng said she was an interesting little girl.

This guy has become obsessed with philosophy and even gone astray.

A stubborn person will get blocked in both ends.

She is extremely stubborn and opinionated. If the monster communicates with her, it will probably make her depressed...

"Li Ye, it's not that I don't want to help you." Song Jiani continued, "Demon spirits, monsters, and even time travel, this field is a blank for all of us. I did travel through time one more time than you, but so what. We are like two toddlers. I took two steps and you took one step. Are you really willing to learn from the experience of a toddler who took one more step than you?

Even compared to the two steps I took, your step is not as good.

Li Ye, stick to yourself, keep going, and explore the truth of the world. I hope that one day, we can sit together and discuss, and explore the essence of this new world together..."

It's crazy!

Looking at Song Jiani's increasingly fanatical eyes, Li Ye sighed secretly. He really didn't know how such an abnormal guy could survive after traveling through time twice, but he still nodded: "Well, I will."

"Let's encourage each other." Song Jiani stood up and extended her hand again.

"Let's encourage each other." Li Ye held her hand helplessly, but he was still a little unwilling. "Sister Song, what's the use of the key?"

"In my hand, it can open or lock any door in the world." Seeing that Li Ye was still obsessed with the function of the key, Song Jiani's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she still said the purpose of the key, "The function of the speaker is to amplify the sound. I use it to spread ideas in the magic world."

A key that can open any door is indeed very useful in a world of ruins;
As for the trumpet spreading its ideas in the magical world?

Li Ye couldn't quite agree with Song Jiani's philosophical theories. She was lucky that she was not burned to death and came back alive.

"Yes. Thank you, Sister Song." Li Ye nodded with a smile, "I saw you brought a magic wand with you when you came back, so you must know a lot of magic!"

"Magic also requires an understanding of the nature of the world." Song Jiani nodded, "I have indeed studied a lot of magic, but you have already embarked on the path of cultivation. You can't learn magic anymore. Learning everything will only harm you."

"I don't want to learn, I just want to understand." Li Ye smiled, "If you only understand the way of cultivation, your understanding of the world will be one-sided."

Soon, Li Ye found the correct way to communicate with Song Jiani.

"Yes." Song Jiani agreed, "I will compile my experience and methods of using magic into a book in the next two days. You can read it before traveling through time..."

"Sister Song, can I ask, have you awakened any derivative skills?" Li Ye asked.

"I don't have any awakening derivative skills." Song Jiani glanced at Li Ye and said, "In the two worlds I traveled through, the monsters were only my assistants. I relied more on myself. I needed to keep a clear mind and not be corrupted by the monster's energy."

Okay!

What's so proud about this?! Besides, are you sure you are still awake?
Li Ye's eyes twitched violently a few times, and a bad taste emerged from his heart: "Sister Song, I thought you didn't have to follow the terms of the Monster Catching Office. What if those terms are wrong? How can you see through the nature of monsters without a deep understanding of them?"

"..." Song Jiani was stunned for a moment, thinking about something.

……

What Song Jiani said was right. Li Ye had indeed already chosen in his mind the monster he would carry with him for the second time, which was the watch.

The first time he traveled through time, he did it to survive.

But the second time he traveled through time, he did so for greater strength and better derivative skills.

Watches are related to time. Throughout history, any superpower related to time is top-notch.

The monster hunters who used the watch before were unable to activate the derivative skills. The instructions they left were that the watch was extremely difficult to operate and did not have much use in actual combat.

But Li Ye still planned to give it a try, and the sooner the better. What if some other time traveler chose the watch but failed, and the evil spirit of the watch was absorbed, he would have no chance to use it in the future.

As the saying goes, fortune and honor are achieved through risk. Whenever he awakens a derivative skill related to time, his strength will have a qualitative leap.
