45. Scanning.

Now that the lab had been upgraded, what came next was the annoying part of having to scan all the books I had.

But first I had to set up the AI, I of course would be doing more upgrades to it later. But that required me to have various materials I currently did not. I want a whole base upgrade but it would need to wait for a bit.

I tapped on the keyboard and everything booted up.

"Hello Ryan, how may I assist you?" A cold mechanical voice said over the speakers in the room.

"Right now I'm just booting you up and making sure everything is working properly." I tell the AI.

"All systems are operational." The AI states.

"Great, now how about we give you a name, personally I'm partial to Amelia. Also a female voice would be nice if you have one." I request.

"Certainly." This time a cold female voice comes out of the speakers. Well AI have to grow after all.

I grab a new communicator which was made for me, this would be able to scan the various books and scrolls I have.

"Alright well since everything is going well, I'm going to start scanning my library. I would like for you to optimize the various jutsu and skills. Categorize them based on bloodlines, elemental type, combat type such as Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Etc. I should have probably requested more scanners." I should really get more scrap and other parts to start making adjustments.

"It will be done sir." Amelia says.

"You can call me Ryan if you like." I head out of the lab towards the library before I start grabbing books off shelves and flipping pages making sure to scan as I go.

It's still going to take a long time to go through everything. I'll see if i cant get more scanners or junk to make more tomorrow from Ben's world.

Still this is a hell of alot better than doing everything myself. I'll also need to make printers, 3d printers, fix up the training dummies, I want to give each of the girls proper Sharingan too as I can only imagine what kind of monsters they would be if given those eyes.

Each of them is genius level without them so I wonder what would happen with them?

I spent the next couple of hours just scanning everything, luckily most skill manuals are tiny. Same with jutsu scrolls.

Still was going to take forever.

I didn't have enough scanners for my paths either so it was just me doing the work.

By the time morning came around I had scanned a few hundred books.

I then enjoyed a nice breakfast with the girls Amber, Stella and Rook pouting because I didn't sleep with them last night so they had no cuddles.

"Sorry, I was up all night scanning the library. The lab just went through an upgrade and I want the books to be scanned so that the new computer can optimize the moves and then set up some proper schooling for the girls. They are healed now so I figured I should get the schooling settled." I explain.

The trio of adults nod in understanding.

"Just don't work yourself too hard." Rook says with a small smile.

"I'll do my best." I finish breakfast. Give the kids a round of head pats before they head out to play, well besides Anko. She doesn't seem to want any headpats, for now at least.

I open up a portal outside of Ben's building and ring the doorbell.

A monitor powers up and I see Ben's face. "Hey Ryan what's up?"

"I was wondering if you know where I could get junk scrap and electronics. I have some uses for it." I explain simply.

"Hmm sure one moment." Ben says before the door opens.

I take that as an invitation and head inside. The elevator opens up and I pop inside and get taken to the lounge floor.

A few minutes later Ben arrives, this time not alone. There is a familiar red head by his side. "Hey Ryan, this is my cousin Gwen. She was rather curious about meeting another multiverse traveler." Ben says.

"Ah hello." I hold out my hand for my familiar shake and scan.

"Nice to meet you." Gwen says with narrowed eyes shaking my hand.

[Anodite Body unlocked.]

Pretty sure that was a race of purely energy magical beings so that's nice to have.

"Well let's get going, what do you need all the scrap for?" Ben asks as we step into the elevator once more.

"Base upgrade, every guy needs a cool secret base. I was planning on combining the greenhouse with the kitchen and the lab, that way I can have the plants and herbs picked for food and the medical herbs turned into medicines. Currently I produce enough food for a few hundred people. However sadly none of us are really good cooks, I was hoping to get it automated." I admit that my cooking skills are bad. The only other one who can cook is Rook and that's military style so mostly bland.

"Ben mentioned you have the power of multivers travel and a seperate dimension of your own?" Gwen asks.

"Ah yes that's one of my abilities." I explain better to be honest here.

"One of? What other abilities do you have if you don't mind me asking." Gwen asks warily.

"Well I have 4 basic abilities and been is quite familiar with one of them." I say with a grin.

"Hmm? The dimension one or the multiverse travel?" He asks.

"Ah no, my first ability is similar to yours. How you have the ability to scan DNA from aliens to become them. Except mine works for all, bloodlines, DNA and species." I turn into an Anodite with white and black energy.

Both thier eyes widen in shock. "That's impossible, Anodites don't have DNA. They are only female too!" Gwen says.

Meanwhile I'm looking at my energy hands, it feels a tad odd.

"There is time travel, multiverse travel, all sorts of things and you draw the line at me being able to copy your ability?" I ask with a chuckle. "If it makes you feel better I copied all almost 11,000 of Ben's aliens in a second." I switch to Upgrade and Gwen glares at Ben who looks sheepish.

"My other ability allows me to copy spaces like forests or deserts or planets and my final one allows me to copy and adjust weapons." I explain casually.

"Ugh that's so much cooler than the omnitrix." Ben says.

"BEN! He just admitted to copying all of your aliens, he could be a villain!" Gwen shouts.

I just raise an eyebrow. "Are you expecting me to cackle madly and say I've been foiled. I just explained my abilities to keep things honest. I didn't have to you know? I literally have the power to travel to any place and time I like yet here I am asking for scrap instead of stealing it, I take care of orphans in my spare time and grow fruit trees. My kill count is a whopping 0." I point out.

"He does have an amazing fruit tree orchard, I've seen it." Ben admits.
