I'm not Yingjie

The Fire Moths are not a united salvation organization. Humanity’s self-destructive behavior has always been a warning in history. What’s more, there are some guys in this organization who are more frightening than Honkai.

"It's not gentlemanly to stare at a cute girl like that~" Lin did not hide his hostility. The girl smiled and moved the file bag a little further forward.

Lin once again looked at her graceful posture and confirmed that she was unarmed before asking, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, the girl's eyes curved into two crescents: "Oh, I thought I was famous, or is it that you don't take me, your senior, seriously anymore? That's really sad."

Senior? Pink-haired, female, warrior...

The lonely Lin remembered that when he passed by in the corridor, the soldiers were talking about someone, and the characteristics of the person in front of him seemed to match. If he was right, she was probably...

"Alicia..."

"Oh, you remembered? It seems I'm still not out of date."

Lin recalled the rumors and information about Alicia in his mind, and gradually corresponded with the girl with a bright smile.

A female warrior who shone brightly on the front battlefield of the Second Honkai Impact and in the subjugation of the Second Herrscher. She is a warrior who is beautiful, intelligent, and powerful. She entered the Fire Moth not much earlier than Lin, but she is already quite impressive.

The sentence in the middle was what Lin heard from someone else, and it was said to be her self-proclaimed name.

Compared to Ai Lishiya's surprise, Lin's reaction was much calmer: "What do you want from me?"

"Send the medical examination report. The lab is busy with the Herrscher of the Void, so I'm just doing you a small favor. I'm a good girl who loves to help others."

“……”Not believable at all.

The girl smiled, very satisfied with Lin's reaction: "Okay, no more jokes, actually I heard that there is a new warrior who is so powerful that he killed an emperor-level Honkai beast alone in the first operation of the second Honkai. Moreover, he also contributed some equipment ideas when he first joined, and some of them have even been put into use."

"And I heard that he was a shy boy, so I was very curious and came to see for myself."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, and hitting the window made an annoying noise.

Lin turned his head from the rain-stained window and said calmly from inside his helmet, "First, I'm not a fighter, I'm a soldier. Second, what are those rumors?"

The girl tapped her smooth chin. "Well, for example, a strange creature with only a helmet above the neck? A simulated robot that spends 25 hours training out of 24 hours and 10 hours on missions? The product of some experiment by Dr. Mebius?"

"..."

Alicia leaned forward slightly and looked under his helmet curiously: "Really?"

"It's fake." Lin snatched the file bag and took a step back to block her view. "Have you seen enough? If you have, then leave."

"Hey, don't be shy. We are all friends. Don't you want to make peace?"

"Oh!"

Without waiting for Alicia to finish speaking, Lin slammed the door and locked it. He ignored the frequent knocking on the door that symbolized his anger. He sat on the chair, opened the file bag, took out his report and glanced over it.

Outside the door, Alicia looked at the closed door with a headache. After she learned about Lin's existence from someone, she wanted to come and see what kind of person he was.

Unexpectedly, Lin was even more indifferent to others than she had imagined. No wonder she heard only bad rumors from others.

"Alishia, have you given him the report?" A familiar female voice came from the corner, making Alishia, who was still thinking about how to get Lin to open the door, raise her head, then smile and narrow her eyes.

A tall green-haired woman in a white coat stood there at some point.

"Dr. Mobius, I thought you would just stay in the lab forever~ It turns out you're interested in him too, right?"

The woman called Doctor sneered as usual, "I just heard the assistant say that someone took the report that was supposed to be delivered by her. I thought that someone might not deliver the report to the right person, or might peek at something that doesn't belong to her."

"Hmm? Don't you want to do something to that kid?"

"...I'm sure you haven't read the report." Mobius looked at Alicia's gossipy smile and turned to leave in boredom. "That soldier's physical indicators are beyond imagination, but that's all. He's a glass man who could die at any time. I'm not interested in him."

Alicia pondered over Mobius's last words in confusion.

"That's all? Glass man?"

Lin's eyes stopped at the last two columns, "Honkai Energy Adaptability" and "Summary".

In the column of Honkai Energy Adaptability, there is an "Extremely Low" marked in red font. This is the only item among his incredible body functions that is not "Extremely High".

The summary was written by the person who performed the physical examination on him.

"All indicators are two to three times higher than those of ordinary soldiers, and the speed of nerve reaction exceeds all records on file. However, 079 has a huge defect that his resistance and adaptability to Honkai energy are far lower than that of ordinary individuals. Direct contact with excessive Honkai energy will lead to death, and there is a high probability that he will become a dead soldier."

Lin read the report over and over again, then took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and crumpled the entire report into a ball.

The haze beneath his helmet seemed substantial.

"Drip."

An instruction came from the communicator. Lin calmed down and threw the report into the trash can, then picked up the communicator, opened the door and walked towards the equipment department.

"..."

After he left, a slender hand picked up the report from the trash can.

……

[Cabin air pressure meets standards]

【Start to confirm components】

[Neural connection completed]

Blue data streams slid across the window in Lin's helmet. The operating terms flashed before his eyes and then shrank to the upper left corner. He pressed a button on the metal keyboard on his left hand. A red line inside the helmet swept across his irises, and the two indicator lights turned from red to blue.

[Driver's organs are stable]

【Full structure liberation operation】

Along with the sound of machinery, the narrow hatch turned from dark to bright, and the segmented panoramic visual screen replaced the original darkness, presenting a gray ruin with a pale monster wandering in front of Lin's eyes.

"Squeak."

Lin gripped the joystick tightly, and he controlled the huge monster to stretch out his cold right hand, which was unique to mechanical creatures, and clenched and released it as easily as his own arm.

From the looks of it, he was driving a "robot" that was no less powerful than those wandering several-story-high Honkai beasts.

This is the first anti-Honkai weapon "Titan" made by Fire Moth based on the ideas he provided. It is numbered TT-079, which is exactly his own number. As expected, he is the first pilot.

"079, this operation simulation scenario is the second collapse center point. Please drive the Titan as much as possible to collect operation data." The equipment department staff commanded outside the cabin.

Lin's eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice, "Got it."

Then, he controlled the Titan to pull out the giant machine gun behind him. The world in his eyes was instantly filled with dense information, including bullet residue, machine status, thermal analysis, and Honkai energy detection...

While Lin was expressionlessly adapting to the massive amount of information that was enough to knock a person unconscious, he aimed at the nearest tank-class Honkai beast and pulled the trigger.

"Da da da da da da..."

The huge bullet tore through the pale skin and pink muscles of the deformed monster with terrifying kinetic energy. Disgusting purple blood spurted out from the howling and twisted body, and fell to the ground along with the hot and thick bullet casing, making a strange crackling sound.

"At ten o'clock, a temple-level Honkai beast is approaching."

A Honkai beast that was half a meter taller than the Titan and had a knight-like lance and shield in its hands slowly approached. Its single deep pink eye emitted a creepy light, and it raised its lance horizontally, ready to pierce the Titan's cockpit.

Lin turned swiftly, and the Titan's left hand, which only had three fingers, grasped the lance and twisted it hard to the other side. The terrifying force pulled the Temple-level Honkai Beast directly to the ground, and he aimed the machine gun at the defenseless head and fired sharply.

One, two, three... more and more types and numbers of Honkai beasts were killed. Those tricky monsters were a terrifying threat to ordinary soldiers, but under the Titan driven by Lin, they were like tiny insects and were quickly destroyed at a rate of about one every three seconds.

In fact, a simple Titan may not be able to achieve this level. The Equipment Department encountered countless problems when developing the Titan. The physical fitness of an ordinary driver is far from meeting the standards for driving a Titan. What's more, Lin's human-like flexible movements while driving are extremely difficult, just like dancing with swords. It is dangerous and will be destroyed if you are not careful.

"What a genius! He is truly a combat genius. The combat effectiveness he displayed on the battlefield is astonishing enough. It's terrifying that he can achieve this level of capability when driving a Titan for the first time, which no human has any similar driving experience at all." The equipment department personnel outside the cockpit collected data that they dared not even think about, while sighing at Lin's intuition and talent in combat.

The last Honkai beast was trampled to the ground and its body was torn apart.

"079, the simulation is over. The emperor-level Honkai beast you killed does not have the corresponding data and cannot be simulated. Let's stop the driving simulation here today."

"Huh..." Lin heaved a sigh of relief, but his eyes did not relax. He checked the remaining bullets and damage, but did not end the simulation. Instead, he remained silent for a while before speaking, "Where is the Herrscher's data?"

"Uh? Herrscher?"

"The Second Herrscher, can it be simulated?"

"Are you sure? The data collection is enough, and Titan's goal is not to fight against the law..."

Lin interrupted without question: "Simulation."

"..."

After the corpses beneath his feet turned into data streams and gathered again not far away, a humanoid figure that was far less massive than the Honkai Beast gradually took shape...

Lin stared at the figure intently.

The apostles who emerged during the Second Collapse are the strongest enemies of mankind that symbolize the disaster of Collapse.

The Ruler of the Void.

……

"Simulation over."

Lin stumbled out of the cockpit from which black smoke was already billowing. The logistics personnel who had been prepared quickly carried him to the side to cool him down, while the others rushed forward to rescue the cockpit.

The excessive amount of data burned the analog circuit and caused the temperature control system to go out of control, almost turning Lin into a barbecued human in a steel coffin. He could even smell the aroma of his own meat.

But that's not what Lin cares about.

"Lost." Lin slapped away the hand that was trying to take off his helmet and whispered, with little surprise on his face.

This Titan was just a test machine. Even if it pushed its performance to the limit, the gap between it and the Herrscher was as deep as an abyss. He only resisted for a minute before being crushed into a pile of sparking slag by the imaginary matter.

Lin silently recalled the battle just now, and wondered if he were to fight in person, would he have a chance of defeating the Herrscher?

The answer is self-evident. He would probably be corroded to death by the high concentration of Honkai energy around the Herrscher before the battle officially begins.

As a human being, even if his individual combat capability is several times that of others, or even dozens of times higher with the use of specially developed equipment, he is still just a human being, and there are limits to what he can do.

The head of the R&D department walked to Lin's side while calculating the data. He smiled and turned his eyes from the green stream on the screen to the helmet of Lin who was lowering his head. "The data from the first run far exceeded our imagination. Lin, what on earth do you have in your head to come up with a design like Titan?"

"Why don't you follow the ideas I provided?"

"..."

Lin Qingqing's words suddenly cooled the hot atmosphere.

The head of the R&D department looked cold, his eyes flashed behind his glasses, and he exhaled and said, "Lin, according to your idea, the machine we can make will be much weaker than the current one..."

Lin interrupted him.

“But that would allow more people to drive, rather than a few…special cases.”

The director of the R&D department stared coldly at the young man who kept his head down, without replying.

What Lin initially provided them was a more general mecha design, with the aim of allowing ordinary soldiers to drive Titans. Even if that did not improve combat efficiency much, it could greatly increase survival rates.

But this first finished Titan can undoubtedly only be driven by top soldiers like Lin.

After a long silence, the head of the R&D department replied: "If the machine wants to resist the erosion of Honkai energy, it must invest a lot of resources. Using those resources to make some 'toy cars' does not conform to the concept of the Fire Moth to fight Honkai."

Lin also raised his head. The visual window inside his helmet automatically popped up a message from the director of the R&D department. He glanced at it and asked, "What's the point of making these Titans?"

“Let artificial intelligence drive everything.”

The answer is obvious. Lin should have guessed this ending the moment he boarded Titan.

He should say something, but Fire Moth will not have any reaction to this, even though he was the one who came up with the concept of Titan, because he only provided ideas and concepts from beginning to end, instead of actual design and participation in its development.

After all, he has no talent in that area.

"I'm leaving." Lin stood up. His temperature was still very high, but he didn't care.

Perhaps to comfort Lin, the head of the R&D department talked to him during this brief gap: "By the way, when you joined, the second Honkai Impact was being dealt with, so you applied for a solo operation. Have you been assigned a team now? Who is the captain?"

Linton paused and nodded: "Yeah."

"Which team?"

"The fifth team, the captain is Himiko."

Chapter 2 Tips for politely asking people to leave in daily life

ruins.

After the collapse, no matter how prosperous and unique a place was in the past, after that, only this shared noun will remain.

The busy streets were no longer filled with the bustling voices of people. There were only pale-skinned zombies and huge, deformed monsters wandering around all day in the land they had taken from humans.

The man wearing a helmet took shelter in the strong wind. After the collapse of the high-rise buildings that once blocked out the sun all day, his vision became wider, allowing him to have a panoramic view of the ruins from a rooftop. He could scan and analyze the terrain and distribution of Honkai beasts in the area through the visual window, and then upload them to the team's public channel.

The azure window on Lin's helmet dimmed after the scan was completed. He connected to the team's communication: "The terrain survey is complete. There are no high-level Honkai beasts in the target area. Captain, please give instructions."

After hearing the report, a mature female voice spoke in the team channel: "Are there no upper-level Honkai beasts?...Okay, Lin will clean up the eastern area alone, and Soul and I will clean up the western area. Report back after the cleaning is completed."
