Not even mentioning the core members of the parliament in the outer seats, even the leaders of the races couldn’t help falling into silence at this moment.

The dwarven king was tugging at his beard, and when he heard the young man’s words, he almost yanked off his beard. His expression looked like he was choking.

Change your name?

Was it that simple?? dq6mK1

Of course, the members of the races present had no ideas of not changing their names in order to honor their race. That was the thinking of a bloody fool.

There was no doubt that the members of Kadrin parliament were all politicians. They would consider things from the perspective of interests first, so they did not reject the youth’s proposal.

However, the method proposed by the youth was too simple, so at this moment, they could not help but feel that the hundreds of years of war seemed absurd.

If one had known that changing their name would have solved the problem, what was the purpose of their various races’ hard struggle in the past 200 years or so… why bother at all?

“Since the program cannot be modified or cancelled, the only way to solve the opposition problem is to drill a loophole in the program. Changing the races’ name is the most convenient method I can think of, and I hope you can understand it.” Modifying the race name was not a trivial matter. Gu Huai’s tone was sincere. At the same time, that was also a step to pave the way for various races to get by.

Members of all races then turned their eyes to the mechanical creature in the meeting hall. The latter did not make any comments, which was tantamount to acquiescence to the youth’s statement.

In order to support the youth’s statement, the humanoid weapon beside Gu Huai finally raised its eyes and stated with a straight face: “Our targets for destruction are all races recorded in the history of Eizea. If you are not, then you are not the target of destruction. “

The program must be executed, but the understanding of the program by the mechanical creatures was subjective. In general, the mechanical creatures would certainly not find any reason or excuse for other lifeforms, but if it was to fulfillmeet the wishes of the youth, they could make changes. YfrOdU

No matter what the original intention of the people who set up the program was, how they were willing to understand the program was their right; they were willing to understand it in the direction that the youth wanted.

“If you change the race name and let the old race name disappear from history, they will be regarded as no longer existing.” This method was so simple and rough, Gu Huai expanded upon his lover’s statement.

“…” Leaders of all races in the meeting were speechless at the moment.

That approach sounded like hooliganism, and even had a little sophistry. It really needed to be investigated. It also happened that it was completely reasonable—  6ZOAry

This approach did not violate any regulations, and logically made sense, meeting the procedural requirements of the mechanical creatures.

“I have no objection.” The leader of the gnome race took the lead in casting a vote of approval, breaking the silence in the chamber.

After the leaders of the races had effectively issued and communicated the leaders’ resolutions to the whole race, the humanoid weapon in the hall continued to say coldly with a straight face: “Confirm that all races have been destroyed and the procedure is over.”

This was really… fake.

At this time, the members of all races who were sitting upright in the seats of the meeting hall felt very much the same. All of them were still sitting perfectly here. All of these mechanical creatures said that the program had been completed without changing their expression. xgjrYA

That was a reasonable use of loopholes in the programming, but all the people present knew in their hearts that these mechanical creatures were willing to do so only because this proposal was put forward by the young man.

Without the latter, the mechanical creatures would only ruthlessly carry out the intentions literally represented by their programming to the end.

The end of the procedure meant that the mechanical creatures had no opposition to various races, and the impossible peace talks between the two sides had become possible.

“Well then, things seem to be settled.” Looking at the various expressions on the race leaders’ faces, Gu Huai nodded and announced the conclusion. fN3dOA

“Next, as long as you can earnestly fulfill the agreement and do not investigate the past actions of the mechanical creatures, the two sides can coexist peacefully in the future.” Speaking of which, Gu Huai raised his hand and scratched his cheek. “Of course… we will make corresponding reparations for the serious destruction of the original elf territory from before. We can provide materials or manpower here to help repair the holy land.”

The Elf prophet lowered his head. Repairing the territory was indeed a headache for them recently. The holy land had been seriously damaged. Repairing it required a lot of manpower and material resources… Fortunately, their race was now out of the war period.

In the original programming of the mechanical creatures, elves were the second target to be destroyed after human beings, and the former had naturally become the worst-hit race in over 200 years. Other races had suffered comparatively little and compensation was much easier.

The mechanical legion did not lack treasures—after all, the mechanical creatures had no interest in the so-called “treasures”. None of the mechanical creatures in the army felt any loss giving out such compensation. h4cR z

They had only one treasure, which was very precious. It was the precious thing they wanted to cherish and protect, which was much more important than any other thing.

At the end of the meeting, the young man was picked up by the N-type robot behind his seat and sat down on his shoulder again. The humanoid robots around him were also very conscious of following nearby.

Before the youth was picked up by the N-type robot, Noah glanced at the leaders of all ethnic groups without saying a word.

It was necessary to let these people understand one thing. The cold-faced humanoid weapon on the seat slightly lowered its eyes and pecked the young man’s soft cheek then lip respectively under the eyes of the public. Mo0hr8

Leaders of the races: “…”

Stunned after watching the scene, everyone in the hall remained speechless.

What kind of procedure was this?!

The attitude of the mechanical creatures towards the youth was very special. It could be easily seen unless they were blind, but the actions of the humanoid weapon in front of them undoubtedly belonged to—— zGorju

The conclusion drawn after thinking deeply was too unbelievable for them. But if they observed carefully, the cold-eyed humanoid weapon in front of them did have warmth in his pale golden eyes, not its usual coldness.

Could mechanical creatures produce real feelings? This question, which used to be easy to answer in the eyes of various races, had become extremely profound and uncertain for no reason.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

At the end of the day, the mechanical creatures were made up of various parts that acted according to procedures and conduct behavior selection through data calculation.

Intelligent creations. WDNEB8

Although such creatures had artificial intelligence, it was impossible to generate real feelings. These mechanical creatures could only simulate emotions at most… even if they showed it, they did not really have it.

Members of all races in this Chamber were now conflicted. They did not know that human beings had not given the mechanical creatures biological systems to simulate emotions from the very beginning.

The next half-month was relatively calm. Gu Huai fulfilled his agreement to help the elves restore the Holy Land and offered corresponding compensation to other races.

Destruction was obviously much easier than repair. When Serge led the army to capture the Elves, it took less than half a day to destroy 70% to 80% of the Elves’ Holy Land. Now it was only half finished after half a month of trying to restore the original appearance. fmbl n

To assist in the restoration of the elven Holy Land, of course the mechanical creatures would not let their youth do it. They only let the youth sit on the arm of the R-03 robot as a supervisor to inspect the progress, and they definitely would not touch the former with bricks or mud.

They heard that the elves’… oh no, a special fruit from the moon tribe was especially delicious. Only the trees in the Holy Land would bear this fruit. The mechanic creatures assisting in the restoration in the Holy Land leafed through their own databases to confirm the incident. They took out some good-looking fruits from the surrounding trees in a fair and square manner and then handed them to the human youth sitting on the arm of the R-type robot.

While working, they still had to think about the food for their child… The elves in the Holy Land turned a blind eye at this time, pretending that they didn’t see this scene.

The young man sitting on the arm of the robot was of course an adult, but they didn’t know why, looking at this scene, the elves in the holy land felt that these mechanical creatures were raising the youth as their own child, the kind that they doted on. MdhZSm

Gu Huai nibbled at the fruits delivered by his family. He watched the scene of mechanical creatures and elves working together in the Holy Land. In this fairly harmonious atmosphere, Gu Huai still kept a layer of worries in his heart.

The clearance value was now 80%. If it continued to develop smoothly, it would only be a matter of time before it reached 100%. However, there was still a very obvious problem in front of him. The enemy dormant on this world had not yet revealed his tracks.

“He can’t bear it for long.” The cold voice of the system sounded at this moment.

Gu Huai did not move. He answered in his mind: “Well, I am waiting.” 2TXB6D

Waiting for the other to take the initiative to appear. His plan was completely disrupted and did not proceed as expected. Gu Huai could foresee that his enemy was now in a state of extreme anger.

Perhaps before the restoration of the holy land was completed, the other would pop up to attack again.

While Gu Huai was thinking about this matter, a dragon visitor who was preparing to leave the elf territory came to Gu Huai before leaving and asked to have a private conversation.

“What is it?” Gu Huai doubtfully asked the Red Dragon who wanted to talk to him alone. The other was the first living person he came into contact with in this world. Later, the Red Dragon was of great help to him. Gu Huai also regarded the other as a friend. goW9ir

Gerald hesitated for a moment. He looked back at the mechanical creatures only a few meters away, then turned his head back, lowered his voice slightly and said with a complicated expression: “You… I say this because I regard you as my friend. Although mechanical creatures are no longer our enemies, you should know that mechanical creatures cannot produce true feelings. I just want to remind you not to be too sincere about them in some aspects so as not to be sad in the future.”

These kinds of words were not pleasing at all. If it weren’t for the fact that the youth was really his friend, the Red Dragon wouldn’t want to specifically mention this kind of thing to the other.

But unexpectedly, the youth in front of him was neither silent nor shocked at all, but shook his head firmly at him.

“It is not the heart or the brain that can produce feelings. You have made a mistake about the nature of this matter.” Gu Huai took a look at the mechanical creatures who had paused their work to stay a few meters away. He raised his hand and waved to show that he was okay. 1gdITS

After doing this, Gu Huai looked back at the dragon in front of him and smiled at the other. “They have souls… In this, mechanical creatures are the same as us.”

The Red Dragon paused, he didn’t expect the youth to say so, since he never thought about it.

“But thank you for worrying about me.” With this sentence, Gu Huai walked to the mechanical creature that was still waiting for him a few meters away, and he didn’t want his family to wait too long.

As soon as the young man came back, the R-type robot, which had been waiting here, carried the young man back to his arm and, by the way, thrust a fruit it had just picked into the young man’s hand, “Du.” Saset7

Touching his stomach, Gu Huai felt that he could not eat any more, but he patted the arm of the mechanical creature and said warmly, “I’m a little full now. I’ll eat later.”

“Du.” The blue light on the electronic eyes flickered, and the R-type robot showed a happy mood, feeling happy that the youth accepted its gifts.

The action of the mechanical creatures only needed corresponding procedures, and the direction of their actions could only be calculated by data. It may only need to add a system module to simulate emotions.

But, to understand feelings, one needed to have a soul. Yczg8y

Am I the only one suspicious of Gerald. IS IT ONLY MEEEEEE 🙄

  1. Ngl I also suspected Gerald for a few seconds but let it go. We’ll see who the enemy is soon anyway, but in case it really is him, I definitely won’t be surprised

    Thanks for the chapter! 🙂

  2. I hope the enemy’s purpose will be explained before the novel is wrapped up. Can it be a personal grudge against the existence we know as Noah the system?

    Thank you for the update! ❤

  3. Well. I feel like either the baddie is another human or else another humanoid weapon. After all he’d have had to tamper with the program somehow. Maybe if he had them exterminate all humans it was on the premise of no longer leaving anyone that could change the orders.

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️

    • But, all humanoid weapon aka robots are MC’s family… Last time it was possible because the creature is not a robot. But this time, the family’re robots (they share the same program, modules, procedures, etc) so, if the enemy became a robot, he need to be at least a half robot to be able to even have a chance to oppose (hate) MC. He can also be easily defeated with a small virus if he became a robot.

  4. I too am suspicious of Gerald although I don’t know we’re it’s based

    Either way thank you for the chapter

    Gu Huai and the robots are cute today as well

  5. I too am suspicious of Gerald although I don’t know we’re it’s based

    Either way thank you for the chapter

    Gu Huai and the robots are cute today as well❤️

  6. I wondered at first how Ah Huai and Chu Chu did it then remembered he’s a type of robot that can shape shift. ヘ( ̄▽ ̄*)ノ

    The hidden enemy may use the elves since they have a lot of hatred
