“”Huh?”

Harrison Clark was initially taken aback.

At this moment, his thoughts went through numerous changes, as complex as a winding path.

He first felt secretly delighted, thinking that the general must have fallen into the trap, meeting and pairing up and such, it must be some kind of adult content.

Since the mother of his child was so straightforward, even though he was usually reserved, he was also a battle-hardened man who had fought in many wars.

Since you sincerely invited me, then I will be compassionate…

Wait a minute, it’s just to participate in the selection competition?

So I still have to compete fairly with others?

What the hell!

How did our relationship take a step back?

As the proud father of my child and the master of breaking through the devil, do I still have to compete with others?

Isn’t this going back in history?

His mood took a sudden downturn, from joy to sorrow, like a roller coaster.

Nora Camp saw that he didn’t immediately agree and was slightly surprised, “What, don’t you want to come?”

She found it somewhat hard to understand.

Wasn’t she, who had recently ranked among the top ten most popular female pairing candidates in an informal poll among some citizens, charming enough?

Harrison Clark shook his head with difficulty, “I want to, but it’s a bit sudden.”

“Oh, it’s fine. I just made the decision on a whim anyway. If you don’t want to come, I won’t force you.”

Harrison Clark panicked immediately, planning to quickly defend himself, telling her not to cause trouble, and that he would definitely come if she held the event.

But Nora Camp smiled and said, “Anyway, there’s only one year left before the decisive battle. Even if the pairing is successful, there’s no way to raise the child properly, and we can’t provide the child with a stable and good growth environment. If you don’t come, I’ll just forget about it and not hold the event. I won’t consider fostering offspring in the future either. After the war, if I’m still alive, I’ll think about it then.”

Harrison Clark laughed.

Oh? So it was all because of me in the first place?

That works.

He felt much better now, and slowly realized that he should perhaps adjust his traditional mindset from a thousand years ago and actively adapt to the atmosphere of this era.

The child’s mother still had feelings for him, but at the same time, she was inevitably influenced by the overall social atmosphere, and her values had changed slightly; this was an objective fact.

Her feelings eventually led to this decision.

Her genetic level was also very high, and it would indeed be a huge waste if it couldn’t be passed on.

But she was now a young general, with a high social status.

Therefore, in her mind, the so-called combination of pairing up would definitely not adopt the traditional way, and at most it would only provide a chance for the fusion of frozen cells, and the nurturing process would also be placed in the internal circulation simulation incubator.

Harrison Clark thought that it wasn’t right.

If the child’s mother couldn’t get pregnant, she would miss an opportunity for enlightenment and sublimation, the fleet would miss a great commander, and human combat power would suffer a major loss.

So…

“No, you can’t think like that. If humans give up their instinct to reproduce because of the upcoming war, then we will have already become extinct. Now that medical conditions are advanced enough, and you are a commander who doesn’t have to engage in fierce battles at the frontline, being pregnant won’t affect your performance. I think you should still hold the selection competition, and I will definitely participate. Don’t worry, I am determined to win!” Harrison Clark spoke with righteous words.

A serious face.

Nora Camp pondered for a moment and was tempted again.

She had initially wanted to refute that she didn’t intend to get pregnant herself, and that the combination pairing process was done by machines, but when she saw Harrison Clark’s serious expression, she felt it was better not to say anything.

“Alright, it’s settled, next month on the 30th, I’ll be waiting for you. You go back and train.”

After saying that, Nora Camp left with a satisfied heart.

Her steps seemed unconsciously light, her heels barely touching the ground, like a happy elf.

After taking two steps, however, she seemed to realize that it didn’t fit her iron-blooded general image and abruptly stopped her feet.

She lowered her head slightly, raised her hand to cover her nose, and coughed softly.

Adjusting her posture, she carried her hands behind her back, raised her neck, and took measured steps forward.

Her heels tapped on the smooth floor with a clattering sound.

Harrison Clark quietly turned his head to look at Daniel Thompson and the others who were still training.

As expected, when the general’s footsteps, which seemed like a death knell, resounded, Lion’s voice during the lecture rose by three keys.

Harrison Clark went back.

“Reporting!”

Daniel Thompson glanced back at him, “Fall in!”

At this time, Marthus was still struggling in the simulator.

Compared to Harrison Clark, who scored 98 points as soon as he started, Marthus couldn’t even get 30 points, let alone the passing score of 60.

In Daniel Thompson’s words, it was “slow to get acclimated to the Basic Battle Armor, slow to switch into the siege form, and the energy distribution of the Galaxy Siege Cannon is weak.”

“The alignment of the muzzle aiming and battle armor layout is extremely poor; it’s hard to tell if the enemy will be injured after firing, but your Galaxy Battle Armor will definitely fall apart.”

“The transformation of the huge shield in the defense form is completely out of sync with the rhythm, the coordination and integration of the real shield and energy shield is zero, and the movement during position changes is as slow as a snail.”For the first two types, Lion managed to give some comments, but as for the most challenging Omnipotent Battle Armor form, it was simply an eyesore.

“In general, Marthus, your brain works too slowly, and you can’t grasp the control core of the Galaxy Equipment. You need to figure out how to simplify the brainwave commands, allowing yourself to enter a state that is half intuition and half active control.”

Less than ten minutes passed, and Marthus jumped down, drenched in sweat, looking like a drowned rat.

His face worn down, he felt wronged, “I tried, Instructor, but I can’t do it! My brain is about to split apart! I… I’m notwilling to give up.”

Marthus glanced at Harrison Clark beside him, his eyes full of admiration and envy.

After experiencing the real challenge, he appreciated Harrison Clark’s frightening talent even more.

Marthus thought to himself, are you even human?

Harrison Clark didn’t notice Marthus’ situation and subconsciously yawned, feeling a bit sleepy.

Daniel Thompson turned around and glared at him, “Private Harrison Clark!”

“Yes.”

“I admit you have talent, but this is class time. Show some seriousness.”

Harrison Clark put on a serious expression, “Alright. Also, the General just promoted me, so I’m not Private Harrison Clark anymore. I’m Sergeant now.” Daniel Thompson: Bloody hell.

“Congratulations, Sergeant Clark.” Daniel Thompson saluted, “How about some advice from you? How can Marthus improve quickly?”

Harrison Clark returned the salute, “I don’t know.”

He wasn’t bullshitting.

Right now, he only knew how to operate, which was an instinct, but it doesn’t mean he was that skilled.

After all, he was a newcomer and not very clear about the principles of the Galaxy Equipment.

He knew how to use it but didn’t know the theory, so it would be harmful for him to give advice to others at this point.

For example, certain instinctive operations that he found smooth might cause problems if he casually mentioned them, and Marthus, in haste, tried them out, probably ending up in the morgue with no time for life-saving treatment.

Daniel Thompson didn’t expect him to refuse so simply, feeling a bit angry and wronged.

He thought that Harrison Clark wanted to keep his secrets.

Seeing Lion’s angry and helpless expression, Harrison Clark softened up and explained, “Lion, you don’t know people like me who have just come into contact with Galaxy Equipment for the first time today. I have zero basic knowledge and scored ninety-eight on pure talent alone. When I make a move, it just follows. I don’t know howl did it, so I can’t teach people. I can’t compare with experienced senior instructors like you. Once I solidify the basics, I will certainly help.”

Daniel Thompson’s feelings were complicated, wondering if he could talk or not.

Were you pretending or complimenting me?

“Alright then, next, Mitchell, it’s your turn!”

A whole afternoon passed, and although Harrison Clark’s operation skills didn’t improve, listening to Daniel Thompson’s professional explanations deepened his understanding of Galaxy Equipment.

In some sense, he was learning indeed.

However, once he learned enough, he would inevitably overthrow Daniel Thompson and snatch the teaching whip from his hands.

After the afternoon training ended, Harrison Clark asked Daniel Thompson, “Lion, do we have any special classes tonight?”

He was serious.

He was also eager to learn more about Galaxy Equipment to teach others.

But Daniel Thompson thought he was showing off and felt upset and wronged, “Get lost! I’m watching a performance tonight, and I don’t have time for you.” Marthus leaned in, “A performance? What kind of performance?”

Daniel Thompson resentfully said, “Don’t even think about it. Only formally enlisted soldiers are eligible.”

“Ah? Is that so?”Marthus was disappointed. “Why?”

Mitchell was indignant, “Yeah, it’s not fair.”

Daniel Thompson shook his head, “Because the performer in the eyes of ordinary people is an ultimate ‘pessimist,’ her views can be a bit discouraging. The mental construction of reserve recruits is not fully up to par, so their consciousness is not high enough and can be easily influenced.”

Others nodded in realization.

Mitchell nodded and said, “I know who she is. The woman who believes the invaders are the Compound Eye Civilization, and that the Compound Eye Civilization has ruled the entire Virgo Cluster.”

Daniel Thompson: “That’s right. It’s not a problem for you to get a simple idea of her views, and everyone can question her and disagree with her speculations. However, those who cannot withstand the blow from attending her live show may give up fighting and fall into the Lost City. Alright, get lost. You guys have no chance anyway. This is a special privilege for enlisted soldiers only.”

Harrison Clark sidled up to him, pointing to his face, “Lion, take me with you.”

Daniel Thompson’s expression stiffened.

Damn it.

He had forgotten that this guy had just been promoted by the General and was now a Sergeant.

Daniel Thompson started to worry.

He felt that the General’s decision was somewhat hasty, insufficiently considered when promoting her.

Though Harrison Clark had extraordinary talent, he had only just enlisted, and his mental construction was still uncertain.

Sigh, hopefully, there won’ t be any problems.

Unfortunately, Daniel Thompson couldn’t question Nora Camp’s decision.

“Unconditional obedience to the orders of superiors” was still the iron rule of the army.

Otherwise, he would have suggested at least another month of observation for Harrison Clark.

Now, the Black Bear Training Base was fully equipped, with a huge intelligent stadium that could accommodate a million people.

Cultural and sports activities in the base were usually held here.
