I, Rick, the strongest human

……

After making up his mind, Rick started his "devil training".

100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km long run.

He didn't believe that such exercise would work. In the beginning, he just listened to his inner "voice" and carried it out like this.

This kind of exercise seemed ridiculous, but it really worked.

There is no doubt that he is getting stronger every day, and today, three years later, he doesn't even know how strong he has become.

"Why...why?"

He asked himself this question more than once.

There was no answer, no result, and that "voice" disappeared when I made up my mind to persevere.

That, enigmatic voice——

Chapter 6 Find!An Ex-Machina girl who analyzes her 'heart'

Image: "Hubi", Location: "Images/130457-56286.jpg"

After watching Chroni leave, Rick also embarked on his journey.

He has wiped out all the demon species in that area, so he probably won't encounter any danger.Even if there is an emergency, with the black technology he stole from the goblins before, he can be contacted quickly.

……

"Hope, I can catch up—"

Holding a map of the goblins in his hand, on it, located in the east is a city of the elves.

Of course, it was destroyed.

When he got the map, it was displayed like this on the information.

And his purpose of going to the city of the elves is also very simple, to look for clues that the elves may leave behind.

It has been a year since he got this map, because the journey is really far away, in order to be able to protect Cloni by his side, he did not take the risk, but temporarily put it aside.

Now Chroni has also moved to a safe place, and humans have also moved there by the way.

Rick, who didn't think there was anything wrong with the order he had arranged, set his sights on a ruin in the east.

And that relic is exactly where Rick's previously destroyed hometown was located.

——Before going to the ruins of the elves, I have more important things to do.

……

In the remote small ruins, a girl who looked no different from a ten-year-old human girl was standing alone on the destroyed rubble.

Apart from the parts on the head, the black-haired and red-eyed girl can also see exposed machinery in every part of her body.

There is no doubt that this is the Machina species among the fifteen races. It is a mechanical race created by Fanlou, the God of Suspicion. It usually acts in units of connected bodies. Each connected body includes an observation body, an analysis body, a design body, and a combat body. , and the link command body that coordinates the entire link body can theoretically be infinitely learned and strengthened. In the original book, it is the same race as the Flügel that successfully killed gods during the war.

Of course, the killing of the gods has not happened yet, and Rick will not allow the killing of the gods in that way.

"Are you looking for me?"

A voice full of laughter came from behind the girl, and the girl turned around, looking at her was a pair of red pupils that she was very familiar with.

——That was a story that happened six years ago.

Yanlong, one of the three dragon kings of the dragon spirits, suddenly launched an attack on the Ex-Machinas.

The passive defensive Ex-Machinas were defeated as a matter of course.

It was also at that time that Rick's hometown was destroyed by Yanlong.

Although Yan Long was forced to retreat in the end, the Ex-Machina also paid a big price——

At that time, they had not yet evolved to the point where they are today.

That was the first time Rick and the girl met.

In the ruins under the flames of war, the girl was attracted by the boy——

Obviously, the hometown has been destroyed.

He was the only one left.

However, the child's eyes were burning with an inexplicable flame.

Just like the belief in victory.

Believe in the belief that you will win.

Obviously under such circumstances, there is no feeling of "despair" at all, but is full of persistence and confidence in "victory" that girls can't understand.

In the end...why?

What's the 'factor' that led to such a result.

What exactly is that 'factor'——

That thing called "heart"—

After that, the girl tried to understand the "human heart"——

"I can't understand! What is a 'heart'."

“[Speculation], more information is needed.”

"[Analysis], the 'heart' of human beings."

"[Contradiction], known data conflicts."

"Signal error! Signal error—"

Afterwards, the girl generated a large number of error signals due to excessive analysis, and was disconnected by the link body.

——In other words, it was discarded!

"So, have you been waiting here for me?"

Rick looked at the girl with black hair and red pupils in front of him, and asked.

“[Question], are you human?”

The girl tilted her head. Although the words were mechanically blunt, perhaps because she was speaking to a loli, Rick felt a little unexpectedly cute.

"No matter how you look at it, I am a real human being!"

While answering the girl's question, Rick took off his clothes—

Of course it's just clothes.

"Ah, sure enough, it's better to be more comfortable without clothes—"

Probably due to limited materials and technology, Rick still can't get used to wearing these clothes.

“[Question], why did you take off your clothes.”

"Huh? Don't you want to check my body?"

Rick suddenly showed a surprised expression, as if surprised by the other party's reaction.

“[Answer], there is no undressing link in the inspection steps.”

"...You won! Come on, you came here to find me, you probably didn't tell me these things."

Rick suddenly felt a little powerless. Creatures like the Ex-Machina really kill the world!

"..."

Facing Rick's question, the Ex-Machina girl was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something——

Or in Ex-Machina language, it should be looking for data.

Then, the girl suddenly launched an attack on him——

"Brother, I can't help it anymore, please make me a woman!"

Sitting on Rick's body, the girl with black hair and red eyes spoke in a standard textbook loli voice.

"Ah, I can't help it either—"

I have been looking forward to this kind of scene for a long time. He is obviously a time traveler, but he is a virgin among virgins, and he has been single for more than 30 years. Therefore, when he was thrown down by a girl, he did not do anything. Respond.

——It looks like a human girl about ten years old.With her snow-white skin contrasting with her long black hair, and her ruby-like eyes, there is no doubt that this is an undisputed beauty.

Probably, I just need a little inducement, maybe I can end my virgin career early...

Rick thought so, then raised his head and looked at the Ex-Machina girl sitting on him.

The calm and unwavering eyes were like a pool of cold water pouring on him.

If such a despicable method is used for such a thing——

So, does my own emotion really count as "like"?

——There is no doubt about it.

It's really stupid to ask this kind of question.

"[Unable to understand], there is obviously a reaction, why don't you take the next step?"

Noticing that Rick's movements stopped suddenly, the ex-machina girl raised her doubts.

"Ah...reaction or something, this kind of thing should be the instinct of human beings—"

Not at all concealing the fact that he sent (beep——) to Lori, Rick said frankly.

"Well, you should have discovered that I am different from other humans."

"Besides, I also know that your purpose is—"

"Analyze the human language called 'heart'!"

After hearing Rick's words, the ex-machina girl nodded.

"[Correct], this machine wants to analyze whether [Ex-Machina] has a 'heart', 'self', and 'soul'."

"[Result], due to logical errors and contradictions, this machine was unlinked by the connection body and scrapped."

"So, do you want to go with me? Since you are already homeless."

After patting the dust off his body, Rick stood up from the ground and stretched out his hand to the girl in front of him.

The girl seemed to be stunned and fell into a brief silence, and then gave an affirmative answer.

"Then, from now on, your name will be Hubie—"

"Hubby Dora, this is your name. My name is Rick Dora. Well, just call me Rick."

Chapter 7 Confrontation!A proud elf girl――

“[Question] Why do you want to name this machine? This machine has a name.”

"Huh?" Rick blinked his eyes, as if he didn't understand what the other party meant.

"[Answer] One... 20... Mu..."

"No, this can only be regarded as a code name at most. There is a difference between a code name and a name!"

Rick answered the other party seriously, however, he was ruthlessly rebutted.

"[Question] Isn't the individual identification number and 'name' synonymous?"

The girl tilted her head, and there seemed to be a trace of confusion in her eyes.

"Of course not - the name is very important, it represents not only a code name, but also a proof of our existence in this world!"

"[Question] The proof of existence should be something recorded in a book, why is it a name?"

"..."

Rick suddenly didn't know how to explain to the other party, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

"That's why you don't understand people's hearts. The meaning of the name is very rich."

Just like no matter who you are, there is not only one name, family, friend, partner, colleague, lover... everyone will not call you exactly the same, because the emotions contained in them are also different, although initially The "name" is just a "code name" and "code" to distinguish between people.But now, it is no longer a simple code name, it also represents human emotions, carries human civilization, and symbolizes the meaning of existence——
