I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

During this meal, Harrison Clark couldn’t really enjoy himself.

It was against military regulations to drink alcohol during combat readiness.

For the past few years, the military has been in a constant state of combat readiness, and no alcohol was allowed.

As time has passed, alcohol has diminished significantly in military camps.

Alcohol can impair people’s reaction abilities and affect Azure Dragon Armor control, so getting used to no alcohol has become second nature to everyone.

However, Harrison Clark was from a thousand years ago, and although he wasn’t a heavy drinker, having a few drinks when in the mood was a habit. Today was supposed to be a great day, but he couldn’t drink a drop, which left him feeling rather empty. Yet, he couldn’t say anything about it.

“Why do you look so unhappy? Aren’t you happy about getting first place?”

Nora Camp, who was sitting next to him, raised her tall glass of pure natural orange juice and waved it in front of his eyes.

Harrison Clark shrugged, “It’s fine, I guess.”

Nora Camp suddenly said something unpleasant, “Were you influenced by Daniel Thompson? I’ve seen your file; you’re a genetically engineered person.”

Harrison Clark counter-questioned, “General Camp, are you discriminating against me because of my race?”

“I’m not discriminating against anyone because there’s no concept of race anymore. Also, no engineered person has ever achieved what you have, and I’m not just talking about the speed of your progress, but your current abilities, which are unprecedented among engineered people.”

Harrison Clark didn’t know how to respond to her words, “Well, thank you for the compliment.”

“It may have come a bit late, but perhaps you don’t understand the significance of your appearance. You’ve proven that the potential of an engineered person is as high as an ordinary person, and you’ve changed not just your own social status, but that of many others. I believe, starting from today, there will be more engineered people like you who will be treated fairly.”

Harrison Clark wondered, “How does that work?”

His previous social status was too low, and he had never come into contact with or thought about the profound social issues that Nora Camp was discussing.

Ever since being “silenced” for secretly spreading doomsday rumors in the past, he had lost interest in pointing out the flaws of this era.

“Not all people on welfare are content to be useless, especially the large number of engineered people. It used to be believed that it was difficult for top talents to emerge from the engineered people, and no matter how hard they tried, they could only work in the most basic jobs. You’ve changed this perception, and countless people will be grateful for your contribution.” “Wow, that’s really touching. Can I get a reward? Allow me access to the Yellowstone Research Institute, or at least access to the Ancient Civilization Research Institute archives.”

“What do you want with those?” Nora Camp asked.

Thinking the opportunity had come, Harrison Clark said, “Because I love learning, learning makes me happy.”

“Sorry, no. Every field of knowledge is vast, especially since you’ve already proven your talent in combat. To protect your talents and make full use of them, the military won’t allow you to access redundant information.”

Harrison Clark remained silent.

At this moment, he deeply understood that no matter how hard he tried, his destiny couldn’t be changed.

I’ve worked so hard, and my talent is now off the charts, but I’ve been working in the wrong direction!

Damn!

“And besides, the military competition and the recruitment of the research institutes are two different systems.”

“Isn’t any crossover allowed at all?”

“No crossing over.”

Harrison Clark shrugged, “Well, this era is really boring. Even the simulation battles are against humanoid targets, so the lack of imagination is obvious at this point…”

He wanted to say that it was no wonder they would be defeated, but realizing that it hadn’t happened yet, he decided to say no more.

However, the thought of the inevitable end also dampened his spirits further.

He thought this time would be different, but in the end, there was still no change, which was rather boring.

Oh well, he had already mastered the Azure Dragon Armor, and his social class seemed to have been raised to its peak. It’s probably time to take a break.

In Harrison Clark’s view, without a real war, he can’t accumulate military achievements. Therefore, a second lieutenant’s rank and the corresponding first-class citizenship privileges are probably the highest achievements of his time-traveling journey. The real war will have been too short-lived anyway, lasting only a few minutes before all of humanity would go to sleep without a chance of achieving anything.

Oh well, he’ll just choose a battleship that is more durable and stay towards the center, and then see what happens when the time comes.

As for how much he’ll be able to see, he can only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

After everything, he’ll probably just await his death.

Harrison Clark thought carefully and felt that this kind of situation, no matter how hard he tried in the process, was still boring and disheartening if he could see the ending at a glance.

But he knew that what he had to do was to try every means to change the outcome.

Being downcast doesn’t mean giving up easily. He just didn’t want to inflame himself too much before seeing the hope of ultimate success.

It’s pointless to be passionate out of nothing. It’s better to try to do your best with peace of mind.

After all, to achieve great things, people need perseverance, not just short-term burning passion.

Perseverance is more difficult than burning passion.

It was Nora Camp’s words that truly hit him hard.

He had already made such huge progress, breaking through human limits, yet he was still not allowed to cross boundaries.

Clearly, the system was deliberately creating difficulties for him, hindering his work.

When he was still a welfare bum, he was addicted to this era’s high welfare, specialized labor model, thinking it was great for him to just coast along through life.

But when he really wanted to climb up, he found the omnipresent restrictions on authority extremely annoying.

Gradually, he felt that the current era’s system, which seemed to maximize the functionality of every capable person, was too rigid and stifled human creativity. From the moment they were born, people had little chance to choose their own lives.

Just as Nora Camp said, engineered people are born into welfare and lack education and guidance. Even if they have talent, they are more likely to end up on welfare in the end.

Screws will always be screws, and wisdom born of rubbish will still be buried in rubbish.

Ordinary screws don’t even have the most basic right to choose which machine they serve.

On the surface, it seems that human technology has indeed taken great strides at the expense of generations of self-sacrifice; but Harrison Clark believed that perhaps things could have been done better, and maybe the over one million heroes in the predecessor of the Ancient Civilization Research Institute didn’t have to sacrifice themselves so brutally.

But now, all of this has become a fixed pattern, and he’s powerless to change it.

All of this has been crushing his enthusiasm since he came to this era.

Well, whatever.

Having come this far, he’d just watch all the relevant information, then try to make progress step by step, see how far he could go, and then just wait for his death..
