Chapter 314: Chapter 220: Staying True to Our Original Aspirationsl
Translator: 549690339 |
Harrison Clark’s plan was ambitious, but too vague.
The idea was fantastic, but he didn’t know how to put it into action.
However, he wasn’t too worried. Although he’d already experienced a great war and lost his body in the process, he’d only been in his current state for less than a week.
With 51 weeks left, he had plenty of time to figure things out. There was no need to rush – he could take things one step at a time.
That night, Harrison was forced to play chess with Nora Camp for two hours, which left him exhausted but still able to sleep soundly.
Nora, on the other hand, stayed up all night as usual.
First, she played chess by herself, losing three games to her unbeatable personal quantum computer assistant. Then, she logged onto the Mars’ Near-field Quantum Network, where at least 100,000 people were always online, and played five more games of Commander Simulation, carefully selecting her opponents.
It wasn’t until after 3 AM that she finally dragged her tired body to bed.
For many years, she had maintained a habit of sleeping only four hours a day. She was not the only one with such a sleeping habit.
In fact, ever since humanity’s genetic awakening rapidly advanced under the stimulation of the S Bacteria antibody, people in the 31st century on both timelines had reduced their average daily sleeping time from eight hours to less than five.
This slightly altered biological clock was a bit tiring, but still within the body’s tolerance.
Harrison didn’t follow this trend because he maintained his 21st-century lifestyle, which wasn’t too unusual.
The next morning, Nora was already up and out of the room by the time Harrison woke up.
First, he disconnected his body from the incubation chamber and jumped to the floor to perform some simple warm-up exercises.
His body was gradually growing.
Now, his physical age was over four years old. Although he was still top-heavy and wobbly, he could take a few steps and stretch his muscles.
He could even start eating food with his mouth, treating his taste buds to various flavors.
Of course, the nutrients and energy absorbed by his digestive system were still far from being sufficient to support his rapid development, so he had to spend most of his time in the incubation chamber.
Fifteen minutes later, tortured by hunger, Harrison hurried back to the chamber and lay down.
Then he realized that he couldn’t find anything to do!
He had finished reading history, couldn’t go out for training, and Daniel Thompson hadn’t sent him any new problem sets for a while.
As an Eagle Strike Warrior of the Giant Wave Vertical Team, Harrison did not have the same academic pressure as before.
He had absolutely no clue about how to deal with radium and couldn’t find a reliable direction even after racking his brain.
So, for someone who had always valued every inch of time, he felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable about having nothing to do.
But he quickly slapped himself and berated himself severely. “Harrison, what are you thinking? Have you forgotten so quickly how you used to slack off in the past? Cherish these rare opportunities! Keep your original aspirations!”
So, he opened a movie to relax and relieve stress.
He randomly chose the top-ranked movie on Mars’ On-demand Movie Chart. Before clicking, he forgot to look at the title, but the opening theme sounded epic and grand.
Harrison thought it was not bad; this must be an epic film.
While the opening theme played, various scenes flashed across the 3D projection, creating an immersive experience with a perfect sense of engagement.
There were car chases, explosions, helicopters, and plane crashes in the 3D images. The special effects were cool and realistic.
Harrison’s expectations continued to rise.
This movie was clearly a traditional film set in the 21st century.
How classic must this movie be if it could still rank first on Mars’ on-demand chart a thousand years later?
Harrison couldn’t imagine or describe it; words failed him.
Besides, this was precisely the type of movie he could imitate. He thought that even if it wasn’t a science fiction film, it wouldn’t be a problem.
But those flashing images looked somewhat familiar, making him feel strange.
Five minutes of the opening theme passed, and the movie title finally appeared, followed by a long subtitle.
“Sharp Edges Fully Exposed (Part 1) – This is the first installment of the documentary film about Master Harrison Clark, recounting the six months in his brilliant life when he transformed from apartment manager to famous musician. The first step towards the Master’s rise – achieving the impossible.” Harrison immediately shut off the movie.
It was too embarrassing and unbearable.
Damn it!
No wonder that fleeting image of the silly-looking man singing and playing guitar in front of the exploding car looked so familiar.
He couldn’t copy this!
Would he really make a documentary about himself? Could he be any more shameless?
Why would a personal documentary film have such an epic opening theme? It wasted his five minutes.
What angered him more was that this movie wasn’t even suitable for killing
time – did he really not know what he did back then?
Why bother watching it? Couldn’t he remember it himself?
The higher his expectations, the more hurt he felt when he was disappointed. Harrison’s mood plummeted. After turning off the movie in frustration, he decided to connect to Nora’s communication channel to see what she was doing.
Unexpectedly, Nora was frowning with a troubled expression on her face. Harrison rotated the visual angle 180 degrees to see the situation in the large conference room in front of her, vaguely guessing what was happening. Yesterday, Nora’s recruitment plan went smoothly, attracting many elite Eagle Strike Warriors. They were strong and powerful, each of them combat-ready. Most of these people already belonged to their respective vertical teams and were the real elites of other Mars’ vertical teams..
