Chapter 277 277. I am a scholar, I don't have the same power as them
"I'm really sorry if it's not them."

"Although Angewomon and Ladymon often fight when they meet in school, I actually like watching them fight. It's quite interesting to watch."

Dr. Agumon scratched his head, then looked around and saw the TV playing the news.

Soon, this doctor from another world was attracted by the content of the TV.

At this time, an advertisement for a new prosthesis launched by a certain company was playing on TV, along with a relatively detailed data explanation. Dr. Agumon was attracted by the content.

This advertisement must have been released by a large enterprise because it lasts ten minutes, which is longer than some music videos or short dramas.

"Mechanized body, it seems this place has a similar philosophy to the Empire of Steel."

Dr. Agumon tilted his head and looked at the people who were undergoing prosthetic transformation on TV. "The direction of their development is somewhat similar to Andromon's route of full body mechanization."

The Steel Empire is a force developed and created by the Cyborg and Mechanical Codemon. After they came into contact with the four great dragons, Shenlongmon, Holydramon, Bluedramon, and Destroyerdramon, as well as the dragon clans under their command, the Steel Empire ushered in awakening-like technological innovations.

Digimon that were a fusion of dragons and machines were born one after another, and Digimon that were specialized in fighting against land, sea and air, such as Megadramon, MetalGiantdramon, and MetalSeadramon, were developed.

Technological innovation has enabled the Empire of Steel to grow rapidly, and even at one point posed a threat to the Royal Knights, the management system of the digital world, which is at the top of network security.

In addition, Agumon's evolved branch, Metal Greymon, is one of the backbone forces of the Empire of Steel.

"The technology here is not yet at the level to produce a complete body. At least, based on my observation, it is not at that level yet."

Digimon have evolutionary stages, basically from birth, they are divided into five stages: infancy, growth, maturity, perfect form, and ultimate form.

A Perfect Digimon could be considered a powerful force in some places.

Andromon is not a weakling even among the perfect forms, not to mention that in this world, people who have been cyberneticized have no output of strategic weapons.

Take Metal Greymon as an example. It is a Perfect Digimon with nuclear-bomb-level output, and it is not even the top one among the Perfect Digimon.

If there are individuals in this world who can output nuclear-bomb-level power on a single soldier, and who can also be mass-produced, then what Mo Hao should consider at this time is how to hide himself and then escape from this city.

"Very interesting technology, can I take a look?"

Dr. Agumon seems to be interested in the technology of Midnight Sun City, which is somewhat different from his fellow tribesmen.

Generally speaking, beast-shaped Digimon like Agumon usually have stronger fighting spirit and aggressiveness. To put it bluntly, they are more like wild beasts.

Individuals like Professor Agumon are extremely rare among Agumon, as he is not only highly educated but also has the awareness to wear clothes unlike other members of his species.

It is natural for scholars with doctoral degrees to be attracted by new and unprecedented knowledge.

"Well, this world has never seen Digimon, nor has it seen any intelligent life other than humans. You might get into trouble if you go out like this."

Mo Hao handed over the [Deception Orb] and said, "Try and see if it works."

It is not a good idea to let Dr. Agumon run around outside. Although Agumon is quite powerful during his growth period, he is still within the range of human handling.

Given the size of Dr. Agumon, it was unlikely that anyone would ignore a bright yellow dinosaur, and the prosthetic eyes could also scan and determine whether it was a doll suit or a real living creature. But there was one thing Mo Hao could not ignore, that was that he and Dr. Agumon were now partners, with the link to the [Sacred Plan] as proof.

Out of respect for your companion, instead of restricting his freedom, you might as well think of ways to allow him to access the technology here and satisfy his curiosity.

Professor Agumon took the orb and looked at it. "Ah, a magic item. I have learned some knowledge about magic with Wizardmon before."

"Generally speaking, it is activated by mental power and operated by the mind."

As he spoke, Dr. Agumon shook his body, and in a mist, a human figure flashed by.

But when the mist dissipated, it was still Professor Agumon who was standing there, and the [Deception Orb] seemed to have lost its effect.

Dr. Agumon took the orb in front of his eyes and examined it carefully, "It's broken? It doesn't seem so. Let me see, so this is it."

Listening to Dr. Agumon mumbling to himself, Mo Hao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is it broken?"

"No, how should I put it? It takes some time to adjust before it can be used normally."

Dr. Agumon scratched his cheek. "Because the technology used is not from the Digital World, and there are a lot of chaotic data flows in this place, which are somewhat disturbing to me, so I need to adjust myself a little before using it, which will take a few days."

Digimon are essentially data life forms, materialized life forms that exist on the Internet.

For Digimon, an environment like Midnight City, where many people's brains are equipped with chips and can access the Internet with just a thought, is like a very turbid pond.

A few days...

After thinking for a while, Mo Hao said hesitantly, "How is your combat capability? Can you protect yourself from kinetic and electromagnetic weapons?"

The strength of a Digimon is generally tied to its size. Small Digimon are not necessarily weak, but large Digimon are generally not that weak.

In Mo Hao's impression, the size of Dr. Agumon is so big that perhaps only the Agumon that appeared in the Hikari Hill incident can be completely surpassed by him.

That was the first encounter between Taichi Yagami and Hikaru Yagami and Agumon, and that night it evolved into Agumon, which was bigger than a taxi.

Agumon who appeared in the Hikarigaoka incident was not afraid of the Perfect Parrotmon at all and even dared to take the initiative.

"me?"

Dr. Agumon pointed his claws at himself, "I'm a scholar, I don't have the strong power of my fellow tribesmen in the wild. But I should have no problem protecting myself. I was once invited to visit the production line of Andromon in the Fullmetal Empire, so I have some experience in how to deal with related characteristics."

Mo Hao handed over a palm-sized steel ingot, "Here, can you crush this?"

"Is that so?"

Professor Agumon closed his claws, and when he opened them again, the steel ingot had broken into more than a dozen pieces of different sizes.

With the power to easily crush steel, Mo Hao felt much more at ease. At least Professor Agumon had enough strength to protect himself.
