Harrison Clark fell back, rolling his eyes. “Come on, it’s just a waste of time and energy!”
Nora Camp suddenly smiled mysteriously. “Is it? Judging from your microexpressions earlier, I can tell that you’re actually very enthusiastic about this ancient mating ritual. You can’t fool me.”
Harrison Clark was afraid.
“I don’t have any enthusiasm!”
“You’re talking to the best commander here. Lying is useless. Come on, let’s play another game of chess.”
Harrison Clark shrank back. “No thanks?”
Playing another game would feel weird.
But in the end, he couldn’t resist Nora Camp’s “temptation.”
She used Harrison Clark’s eagerness for the production of the Azure Dragon Armor as leverage!
At the production base, some components couldn’t be mass-produced and had to be customized by technicians using metal printing programs, which also took up the technicians’ personal time.
Simply put, it meant paying more money—an extra charge for credit points.
With Harrison Clark’s current salary, he couldn’t afford the fee and still needed Nora Camp, the Major General, to dip into her own personal savings.
Being indebted to someone softens one’s pride. For the sake of obtaining the modified Azure Dragon Armor and the future of mankind, Harrison Clark sacrificed himself on the chessboard, only to suffer defeat once again.
Another three hours passed.
After all the commotion, it wasn’t until evening that Harrison Clark managed to escape under the pretext of recovery training, injecting the serum and putting on the Azure Dragon Armor.
Professor Owen, unaware of the situation, asked, “Why do you look so tired? Your complexion is pale. You look even more exhausted than after your training without the serum in the Azure Dragon Armor.”
Harrison Clark clenched his teeth. “Shut up, old man! I’m just here to rest!”
A voice resounded in both of their helmets. “Professor Owen, be sure to remind Harrison Clark to replenish his nutrients later. He’s really drained a lot of energy.”
Professor Owen suddenly realized. “I see.”
After a while, when Harrison Clark felt that Nora Camp was no longer eavesdropping on their conversation, he carefully asked Professor Owen, “Old man, I want to ask you something. Do all female employees who aren’t on welfare feel indifferent about… uh, procreation?”
Professor Owen replied, “Not exactly. It varies from person to person. But generally, the more talented they are, the less personal desires and emotional fluctuations they have.”
Harrison Clark asked again, “That doesn’t make sense! Isn’t it instinctual?” Professor Owen: “When I was young, I also researched the differences between ancient and modern humans. I think it’s like this: Since the 20th century, with the acceleration of the information age and society becoming more complex, to maintain high levels of learning efficiency and master a more comprehensive knowledge system, we have been evolving. Although this level of evolution isn’t as drastic as it was in prehistoric times, human neural systems and brains have undergone significant changes. We’ve discarded some low-efficiency emotions, all to keep up with the fast pace of society.”
Harrison Clark, puzzled, said, “But people on welfare still have those needs, right?”
“Exactly, that’s why they are on welfare. They can only indulge in their base instincts, unable to keep up with the times, which is why they end up relying on welfare.”
“Alright… I guess.”
Unbeknownst to them, another seven days had passed.
Harrison Clark finally received the modified Azure Dragon Armor, which was black, had better performance, and cost more to manufacture. But due to its self-healing capabilities, the repair costs were much lower.
At the same time, Nora Camp and Harrison Clark’s attempt at procreation this month failed.
Harrison Clark wasn’t surprised by this; in fact, he was quietly relieved.
But he made another decision.
He would board Nora Camp’s ship, The Giant Wave.
On the surface, his reason was that when the time came, Martha Owen, the designer of the Azure Dragon Armor, would be on The Giant Wave as a technical consultant.
In secret, his reason was that he wanted to play chess..
