“Whether it’s a movie or a novel, the biggest audience is the multitude of ordinary people. However, many ordinary people are unwilling to admit their ordinariness, so they don’t like to see stories with ordinary and insignificant protagonists, as it reminds them of themselves in the mirror, and recalls unpleasant memories of their own lives.”

“They’d rather immerse themselves in unbeatable stories of superheroes, imagine themselves as heroes with only trivial flaws, appearing human but with almost all traits perfect to the point of impeccable, or as incorrigible villains who never suffer losses or admit wrongdoing.”

“As though watching stories of carefree protagonists will make the difficulties in their own lives disappear. Such people think that if they don’t recall or care about difficulties, they will disappear on their own. They long for happiness, but never thought that happiness should be attained through their own efforts. They love the effortless pleasure that indulging in gratifying movies brings them.”

Harrison Clark laughed. “You were supposed to criticize me, but you’re criticizing others instead.”

“That’s because you were once ordinary but made it this far. You’ve told your story, which should be your shining moment, but it was seen by many critics over a thousand years as the only stain and failure in your life. Even you think this way, and I can’t stand it, so I’m criticizing them.”

Harrison Clark shrugged, “Sigh, it’s because my script wasn’t well-written. I’ve always been ordinary. Compared to Carrie Thomas’s creative talent, I have nothing to offer. I am just a mediocre person when compared to Rainer’s intelligence. Compared to your commanding abilities, I wouldn’t make a perfect commander. I have never been a true genius, whether it’s before or after a thousand years. My creative talent is just so-so.”

“I might have some talent in combat, but that’s only because I’ve spent several times more time training than others. Every time I suffer a little more than you, and I’m only slightly stronger than others. Just like you said, I am just an ordinary person among the masses.”

Nora Camp laughed. “But the history of humanity for ten thousand years is built on the countless separations and reunions of ordinary people. You were chosen, as much by chance as by destiny. You think you’re ordinary, but do you really think someone else could have done better than you?”

“In the Chip Attack war…”

“In the Dyson Membrane Antarctic Battle…”

“In the Earth Recovery Battle…”

“Weren’t you the one who always rushed to the front, taking on the most danger? Is the gene awakening level you’re one generation ahead of humanity in your present state something you were born with? Didn’t the movie show that your awakening was earned one dangerous moment and one death at a time? How can you call yourself a fraudulent cargo porter?”

Harrison Clark was taken aback. “I dare to take risks because I know I can be resurrected. I didn’t actually sacrifice anything. It’s just carrying, I’m a super salted fish.”

“Were you happy carrying things?” Nora Camp suddenly asked.

Harrison Clark was about to answer without hesitation, but it seemed as if lying was useless. “It was alright.”

“You were not happy! You’ve actually sacrificed a lot. Though you can be resurrected, you still have memories. You have watched me die over and over again, you must be the most aggrieved person.”

Harrison Clark shook his head and defended himself, “It’s not particularly painful because I know you’ll come back to life. Each time I can chase after you anew, it’s a whole new feeling. Like this time, after this battle, you may not remember me the next time I come back, and we’ll start anew. That’s happiness.”

Nora Camp thought for a moment, “Not necessarily. In fact, during the Chip Attack, the first time you displayed your combat talent, and when I invited you to join me, my heart started beating faster.”

“Ah?”

“Really.”

Harrison Clark looked overjoyed, “Then won’t it be easier and easier to woo you in the future? I just need to hook my finger…”

Nora Camp punched him lightly, “Scoundrel.”

But in her heart, she was saying another word.

Liar.

Harrison Clark said, “Enough banter, let’s play chess.”

“No more chess, let’s get straight to the point.”

On the sofa, Nora Camp suddenly flipped him over.

When things progressed to a certain point, Nora Camp looked lovingly at Harrison Clark and said, “I know you don’t hold high hopes for this war, nor do I. But I believe you will do better and better in the future, and as long as you don’t stand still, we will ultimately win.”

“You had many like-minded companions in the 21st century, so don’t belittle yourself or become trapped in loneliness. The enemy we face is unimaginably powerful, and the path ahead is very long. You are actually stronger than ordinary people, not just a little.”

Harrison Clark nodded and smiled.

After sharing his thoughts, the heavy weight that had been pressing on his heart suddenly lightened, and even the muscles in his shoulders loosened up and felt more energized.

“Come on, let’s have 300 rounds!”

The next morning…

Harrison Clark, with his prominent cheekbones, silently stared at the mirror, “I was wrong. That was too much!”

Later that night, the two of them discussed further, and Harrison Clark abandoned the plan to popularize “Compound Eye Invaders” and fully reveal the secret to his entire army.

This matter would be known only to the two of them, and as for others, it would not be expanded upon for the time being..
