The red line between this young couple was inevitably affected by Shen Fu.
In the final analysis, the current Rick is not forced into a desperate situation like the original work. He is forced to bear the fate of mankind and has to risk everything without hesitation. The appearance of Shen Fu and others has undoubtedly greatly relieved the pressure on his shoulders.
The consequence of this is that the relationship between him and Xiubi lacks the touching greatness. However, in Shen Fu's eyes, it does not seem to be a bad thing. A dull relationship is actually more powerful than a vigorous one. precious.
In the end, Rick brought Hubi back, without covering up the appearance of the mechanical species, and just brought him back openly.
"Rick!" When Cloni saw the mechanical girl hiding behind Rick, she looked in disbelief. "Although I know you admire Master Shen very much, but even if you want to find a foreign wife, you don't have to find a mechanical species. Well, I won’t be able to have a baby!”
"Clonie! Is there nothing else in your head but these things?"
Rick felt an uncontrollable blush on his face, especially after seeing Shen Fu's strange look, he really hadn't thought about that!
"Anyway——"
Shen Fu stood up and walked towards the mechanical girl step by step. Following his steps, the other person shrank behind Rick with obvious fear.
"A mechanical girl who was expelled? This is really rare. However, Rick, you don't have to care too much about her identity. There are not a few people in countless worlds who choose to spend their lives with mechanical girls."
"...Really, is this really the case?" Rick looked at Shen Fu in surprise.
He suddenly realized that the expression on Shen Fu's face was not joking, nor was he teasing him. He was immediately shaken in his heart. Can humans really be together with machines?
"Don't you still believe what I say?" Shen Fu raised his eyebrows, "And it's not impossible for humans and machines to give birth to babies. If you can reach a certain level on the path to transcendence, you can take the soul. Reproduction produces offspring, and my daughter actually uses this method, wait, is this...a newly born soul?"
Shen Fu stared at the mechanical species in shock.
Although as a machine, the opponent's body contained magical technology that even the current China could not achieve, but the mysterious side was completely visible to Shen Fu, who was a god.
In the core of the mechanical girl's chest, there is clearly a small soul gestating, which is the core of life's self-awareness. In other words, as a "creation of the old gods", the mechanical species actually has no soul? Only in the long process of evolution did this strange mechanical girl appear by chance?
Shen Fu suddenly held Rick's shoulders and walked outside with a serious expression, which made Rick feel uneasy. What happened?
"Rick, you need to take responsibility for this girl."
"Wait, wait, why even Mr. Shen..."
Rick's tone was a little flustered, and his first reaction was that Shen Fu was making fun of him just like Croni.
"This is an order!" Shen Fu said in an unquestionable tone. "Before this, the mechanical species could not be regarded as a race, but could only be regarded as automatically activated props because they had no souls. But I found that you The girl I brought back has a newly born soul, and all of her soul is your information. Do you know what this means?"
Rick's breathing was stagnant, and a picture flashed in his mind.
That was the shadow he saw in the sky when the place where he was born and grew up was destroyed.
"It means you created a brand new race, Rick!" Shen Fu slapped Rick on the shoulder hard, pulling him back from his memories, "How far can a powerful and brand new race go to become a new race?" Whether you are a demon or an angel in the world depends on what you do. Rick, I can see that you are still kind in your heart after all. Even if humans are forced into this situation, you are not full of hatred for other races - "
"So, pass on the kindness in your heart and your good expectations for the world to this new race!"
Shen Fu was not talking politely. In fact, his expression was extremely serious.
Although there are similar speculations based on the plot in the animation, that is, the "heart" that Hubi passed on to all the mechanical species in the end was actually Hubi's feelings for Rick and his expectations for the world that he got from Rick.
But he didn't expect that this "heart" was actually a soul, which meant that Rick was directly bound to the future development of a powerful race.
If there is even a trace of darkness in Rick's heart, Shen Fu will directly remove him. Fortunately, this protagonist, who even if his own race is destroyed, still hopes for "no death" in his heart, fully meets the requirements.
"Is this... an order?"
"No." Shen Fu shook his head, "This is the mission, Rick. In our eyes, any race with wisdom and self-esteem should be respected, and we should guide a newly born and ignorant race to the opposite direction. This is a sacred mission of great significance, and all you have to do is accept her, understand her, and then teach her the correct concepts."
Rick nodded in understanding, and then couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it really because you want me to pursue her?"
Three days ago, he was still a small being struggling desperately for the survival of mankind. Now he was suddenly told that he had to shoulder the future of a new race, which was really hard to digest.
Shen Fu had a black line, and suddenly he had an idea that was very similar to telling this guy to get out, and then do it himself.
After all, Shen Fu still failed to do such a shameless thing. He just announced to the humans after returning that the key task of establishing a friendly and cooperative relationship between the human species and the machine species was handed over to Rick, and everyone must cooperate with him actively. Completing this arduous task will lay the most critical foundation for a better tomorrow for mankind.
Afterwards, Rick ran away amidst the commotion.
Of course, Hubie, who didn't have a name at the moment, was also following Rick step by step.
Then next——
Shen Fu's eyes were fixed on the world map hanging in the center of the square.
The incident with the mechanical species did not come to an end so quickly. In the original work, it took the young couple a whole year to cultivate their relationship. If the weak human race wants to truly make its own voice in this world, instead of hurting itself like a ghost To leverage the "miracle" in a different way, the time difference of this year in which there is no detailed information in the original work is undoubtedly the key.
So, which race should we start with to stir up the world?
