My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 1 Traveling by Order
Hair dryers, watches, speakers, razors, mineral water bottles, electric meters...

Everyday items that can be found everywhere are stored in glass cabinets like national treasures in a museum, solemnly labeled with names, numbers, dates, etc.

Li Ye's eyes roamed between the display cabinets with a complicated and conflicted look. Next to him was a middle-aged man with the name Yang Feng written on his name badge on his chest. His position was the director of the Monster Catching Office.

Yang Feng had a gentle expression, his eyes never leaving Li Ye: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time to choose. This is your first time traveling through time. Don't seek merit, but avoid mistakes. Coming back alive is victory. As I said, only one in ten thousand people can awaken the attributes of time and space. It is your luck to be able to travel through time, and it is also your chance to change your fate and dominate your own destiny.

For the sake of the country and for yourselves, do everything you can to survive. I know it's not easy for you, but we have to race against time with them. If you go one day earlier, more people will survive!"

Come back alive?

What a wonderful blessing!
When someone wishes you to come back alive, then in all likelihood, coming back alive is already a luxury. But there is one thing Li Ye agrees with, becoming a time traveler may be his only chance to change his destiny.

After glancing at Yang Feng, Li Ye did not respond and continued to choose his monster partner.

That's right.

Those daily necessities displayed on the counter have a unified name - monsters.

They have become spirits.

……

three years ago.

The world Li Ye lives in is dominated by humans.

Although there were occasional wars and disagreements between countries, the entire planet was thriving. At least the Xia Kingdom where he lived was prosperous and had no worries about food and clothing.

But overnight, a dark evil aura seemed to descend from the sky.

The ancient locust trees in the park, the lions in the zoo, the carp in the river, and even the Husky raised at home... were randomly invaded by evil spirits, gained consciousness, and possessed incredible abilities.

These monsters, endowed with wisdom and abilities by evil spirits, brought the world to doomsday in an instant.

Order collapsed, and humans were reduced from being the masters of the world to being food. Their proud thermal weapons played little role in the face of the sudden appearance of monsters.

Every household hung white banners and wore mourning clothes, and the world was like purgatory.

When the situation stabilized, the population of nearly 10 billion had shrunk to less than 4 billion...

The human race is able to continue because of the emergence of the Monster Hunting Office.

When monsters are rampant, monster catchers step forward and fight against them.

The reason why monster catchers can fight against monsters is because of these items that have been corroded by evil spirits.

These items are collectively called monsters. During use, monsters will grant monster catchers some special abilities based on their own properties.

……

Li Ye is not a monster catcher, but a higher level being - a time traveler.

Monster hunters fight monsters on their home turf, and they select agents and soldiers with quick thinking and strong physique, the elite among the elites;

The time travelers are a very special group of beings. Their mission is to travel to another universe, capture the evil spirits that escaped to other universes, and bring back the fruits of civilization of another universe for the use of the local people.

It can be said that the importance of the Time Traveler is far greater than that of an ordinary monster catcher.

On the surface, humans rely on monster hunters to stabilize the situation, but the more important reason behind it is actually the unknown time and space travelers.

The martial arts, Taoism, witchcraft, magic, and other skills they brought back from other universes can be popularized. These skills allow ordinary people to have the confidence to protect themselves when facing monsters...

However, not everyone can be a time traveler. To travel through time and space, one must awaken the attributes of time and space.

In the past three years, very few people have awakened the attributes of time and space.

Therefore, the Monster Hunting Office has almost no room for selection and basically uses one as soon as they find one. Compared with the monster hunters who select the best from the best, the Time Walkers are a mix of all kinds of bad and good.

Also, due to the uncertainty of traveling through other universes, the mortality rate of time travelers is extremely high. It is considered a miracle for one out of ten time travelers to come back alive. It is normal for three or four out of a hundred time travelers to come back alive.

In the two years since the establishment of the Monster Hunting Office, a total of 237 time travelers have been discovered, and now only 8 time travelers are alive...

The living environment is difficult and the mortality rate is high. This is the current situation of the time travelers.

three months ago.

Li Ye was just an ordinary college graduate, living on the inheritance left to him by his parents. During a routine screening, he was discovered to have awakened the attributes of time and space, and suddenly he became a glorious time traveler.

Now, after only three months of training, he was about to go through time for the first time. It would be strange if he could be in a good mood to carry out such a mission with such a high mortality rate. But he had to go through time, because the growth rate of monsters was much faster than the means of monster catchers to check and control them. If a monster became restless, it would cause a large number of casualties.

The Time Traveler is competing with the monsters in speed. Either the Time Traveler will bring back more skills to help more people grow up and have the ability to protect themselves against the monsters, or all the people on Earth will be completely killed by the monsters.

Every successful time traveler's journey means more people will survive.

……

live!

Yang Feng's "living" might be perfunctory, but Li Ye really wanted to live. He was still young and didn't want to just enjoy a time travel experience package, and he didn't want to die without being able to return to his homeland.

Therefore, no matter what method he uses, he must stay alive and last for a year in the other world. That's right, each time the time traveler travels through time and space, the time limit is one year. The Monster Catching Office anchors the monster worn by the time traveler, and then, according to the coordinates of the monster that escapes into other universes, sends the time traveler to other universes.

One year later, no matter what the time traveler is doing, the Monster Catching Office will initiate a recall procedure to recall the monsters, and the monster catchers will be teleported back with the monsters. If you want to survive safely in the other world for a year, three months of intensive training is actually a joke.

Li Ye once raised objections to the three-month training period. After all, the time was too short. However, the Monster Hunting Office had to ensure the continuation of the civilization on Earth, and the three-month training period was already squeezed out.

They must race against time with the monsters, otherwise, if humans become extinct, the time travelers will lose their meaning of existence. Moreover, longer training cannot guarantee the survival rate of the time travelers, because no one knows what kind of world the time travelers will face. Making good use of monsters is more important than long-term training...

……

Hair dryer, properties related to hot and cold wind, attacking monster, too big a target, pass!

Watch, its attributes are related to time, it is a powerful control monster, it is too difficult to control, the first few time travelers who chose it all failed, pass!

Horn, attribute is related to sound, it is used to attack monsters, but it makes too much noise when used, pass!

Sanitary pads, the properties may be related to blood sucking... er... pass!

……

Below each monster is a description of its attributes, the number of times it has been chosen by the monster hunter, and the monster hunter's evaluation of its use.

Li Ye walked past these monsters, and none of them satisfied him.

Yang Feng followed him quietly, without interfering or urging him. When a monster catcher chooses a monster, he must consider his own personality as well as his liking for it. The opinions of outsiders are not important.

About ten minutes later, Li Ye stood in front of a display case for a full minute before saying, "Let's take this!"

In the display case is the emblem of a football club.

The emblem is in the shape of a shield, golden in color, with a crown on top and a circle of players holding hands around a football on the front.

The team emblem looks ordinary. The record below the emblem says it has been used once. The team type is monster, which is suspected to enhance cohesion.

"Why choose it?" Yang Feng was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Small and easy to carry." Li Ye looked back at Yang Feng and said with a smile, "You also said that my first priority for my first time traveling was to stay alive. The team emblem is a team-type monster. There is strength in numbers. It is obviously easier to survive by relying on a team than by fighting alone."

Normally, outsiders would not interfere with the monster hunter’s choice of monster, but this time, Yang Feng couldn’t help it: “Li Ye, a team-type monster, how do you use it to deal with monsters?
The demonic spirits are responsive to each other. If you don't take the initiative to find it, the other party may take the initiative to find you. After all, the demon you carry is very nutritious to the other party. If it devours the demonic spirit of the demon you carry, it will make the other party stronger.

Li Ye, this is your first mission, I personally suggest you choose a defensive monster, which will help you survive..."

"No, this is good enough." Li Ye shook his head and smiled, saying, "The demonic energy has been dissipating for three years. I am a novice demon hunter. When I encounter a demon, whether I defend or attack, the possibility of death is very high."

As he spoke, he pointed to the eye-catching slogans on the wall, "Besides, there are so many restrictions on monster hunters. It would be better to find another way and find a monster that can cooperate with the team to distract the monsters. Maybe you can survive from death."

……

1. Try to reduce the number of times you use monsters. The more you use them, the more likely you are to become dependent on them.

Second, do not use the same monster repeatedly. Repeated use of the same monster will accelerate the erosion of the monster's energy.

3. Don’t choose a monster with a similar personality to yours, as similar personalities make it easier to be corrupted;

Fourth, stick to your original intention. The more resolute your will is, the slower the evil spirit will erode you.

5. Try to avoid killing monsters...

……

The warning on the wall is eye-catching and conspicuous. Everyone who enters here can see it as soon as they look up.

This is the rule that every monster hunter must follow.

Monsters are created by the erosion of evil spirits, not magic weapons.

To some extent, monsters are monsters, but due to their inanimate material, they cannot directly influence the outside world like monsters.

The medium through which monsters influence the outside world is the user.

When the user uses a monster, his will will be unknowingly eroded by the evil spirit contained in the monster. Once he loses his original heart, he will become a puppet of the monster and be used by the monster.

The above-mentioned clauses were put into place after countless monster hunters learned lessons through blood and tears.

Whether it is the monster catcher or the time traveler, they are dancing in shackles and will be bitten back if they are not careful.

With the support of the Monster Catching Office headquarters, the monster catchers can monitor the encroachment of monster energy at any time. Moreover, except for performing tasks, the monster catchers basically have no contact with monsters, so accidents rarely occur.

But the time traveler is far away in another universe, and he has to rely on his own will to fight against the erosion of evil spirits, and he also has to fight against the monsters from another world. This is also one of the reasons why the death rate of the time traveler is so high.

……

Time travelers have a very low chance of survival and no one wants to discuss life and death with them.

Yang Feng laughed awkwardly and said, "Monster hunters choose monsters based on their appearance. You chose it, which means you have a connection with it. Time waits for no one. Now that you have chosen it, pack up and get ready to go!"
