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

Chapter 654: Chapter 411: Unexpected Incident

The two were chatting, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Silence enveloped them.

The scene was eerily bizarre.

Leonard Lewis looked at Harrison Clark, his eyes filled with confusion and surprise, as well as uneasiness.

When he first mentioned the idea, Leonard knew that with Mr. Clark’s wisdom, he would instantly understand that the protagonist of the story was based on himself.

That was precisely the point that Leonard hesitated about.

In just over three months, Harrison Clark had developed dozens of revolutionary technologies and written three books, pushing applied technology forward by nearly a century and basic research by several decades.

Although these achievements are still fermenting within the scientific community, and their impact on ordinary households may take a short-term growth period of five to ten years, Harrison Clark’s contributions have become an indisputable fact that no one can ignore.

That is why he is now considered a demigod in the academic world.

Every word and action of his carries great significance in the eyes of the world.

His image is immensely grand.

As a die-hard fan of Pacifican descent, Leonard Lewis’s admiration for Harrison Clark is even more dazzling.

In his eyes, Mr. Clark is awe-inspiring and beyond reproach.

Leonard is very aware that by writing this story, he is in fact tarnishing and “disgracing” Harrison Clark’s image.

This is absolutely counterintuitive and against Leonard’s moral beliefs.

However, inspiration can be so mysterious at times that once it erupts, it feels as if there is a demon’s voice in your heart, tempting you madly.

Even knowing that this idea goes against his beliefs, Leonard can’t help but be consumed with curiosity and yearning for the world he has imagined, and ultimately wants to bring it to fruition one day.

That’s why he brings it up to seek Harrison Clark’s opinion.

Leonard had imagined that Harrison might consider it seriously and then refuse.

If that were the case, he would accept his fate.

But to his surprise, Harrison jumps up and exclaims, “What the hell is this?”

Come on, you’re Harrison Clark!

Be more composed!

What does that “Ouch! I …” mean?

Are you trying to say “Ouch, holy shit”?

Uh …

Is it that you’re angry about my idea?

Alright, that seems understandable, maybe I’ll get criticized for this.

Leonard’s heart is filled with trepidation.

“Sigh.”

Harrison finally sits down again.

“Well, teacher, if you think this is not good, I can just not write it.” Leonard nervously rubs his hands, “Ahem, actually I might be overthinking it. I just enjoy reading novels, but I’ve never written one, nor am I good at telling stories. Writing this stuff might be just a waste of time.”

Harrison silently looks at him, struggling internally.

Based on Leonard’s talent demonstrated in writing “Immortal Galaxy,” if he starts to build a story around Harrison’s character now, the future storyline, even if different from the original “Lover,” would most likely not deviate dramatically in its core.

The quality of the story won’t easily be determined as better or worse, but rather a matter of differing styles and focuses.

If the prototype of the story’s protagonist is still alive, Leonard’s writing will likely lean more towards hard science fiction and downplay the love story between Harrison and Carrie Thomas.

In short, if he writes the story while maintaining the level of “Immortal Galaxy,” the twenty-fifth century’s “Lover” tragedy might be forgotten.

However, it’s somewhat inappropriate to forcibly extinguish the inspiration of others.

Harrison can only sigh, “I personally don’t see any issue, but I think if you do write it, you may face a lot of controversy. Even if I stand up for you, there’s little I can do.”

“Yeah, I understand. I’m prepared for that, I’m not scared.”

“You can think about it carefully, but I don’t recommend that you start writing right now.”

“Yes, I’m too young, and I don’t have enough life experience. I also don’t have enough breadth and depth of knowledge. I still need to learn and shouldn’t be eager to start writing.”

Harrison nods, “That’s good to know. Let’s end our conversation here for today. Remember, I want to be your first reader when you finish this book.”

“Yes!”

“This is a long-term promise.”

Leonard smiles humbly, “Thank you for your understanding.”

After saying this, Harrison leaves.

Since it’s already happened, let it be.

“Lover” now belongs to Leonard.

This could be considered as Harrison compensating him for an idea.

If he handles it well, it may even surpass the heights of “Immortal Galaxy.”

However, the original author of “Lover” is once again pitiable.

He was miserably ganked before he even had a chance to be reborn.

Ah, how miserable.

Moment of silence.

Three seconds.

Moment of silence over.

Actually, Harrison Clark was pretty numb about it all.

Although it’s like robbing Peter to pay Paul, he didn’t have a chance to meet the original author of “Lover” anyway, so he didn’t worry about being in debt.

He said goodbye to James again and then drove back to the villa area.

On the way, Harrison briefly outlined the stories of “Lover” and “Compound Eye Crisis,” which seemed to be born from the same framework but had completely different paths.

The story of “Lover” is mainly set in the present, focusing on modern people’s thinking about the future apocalypse and their speculation on the progress of technological development in the 21st century.

“Lover” is both a science fiction novel and an urban romance story.

The story of “Compound Eye Crisis” focuses on the future, telling the story of a super soldier in the future world who can be infinitely resurrected and reset time.

And in the game and movie, Harrison uses the sequel of the movie and constantly upgrading the game version to describe different timelines.

Each time the game major version is updated and the movie sequel is released, it means that the protagonist, Nico Ross, has experienced a failure.

In short, “Compound Eye Crisis” is a very traditional science fiction.

Both are different, each excelling in its own field.

In the previous timeline, these two stories have been passed down for thousands of years, but few people have realized that the protagonist of “Compound Eye Crisis,” Nico Ross, is actually the philosopher Harrison Clark from “Lover.”

Even Nora Camp, who had a psychic connection in the dark and was one of the protagonists, didn’t initially realize that the Harrison Clark in front of her was the Harrison Clark from thousands of years ago.

These two stories seem to have thousands of connections but are separate from each other.

So the story of Leonard Lewis won’t have any impact on the worldview of “Compound Eye Crisis.”

Harrison can consider whether to link the two IPs, but it would expose too much too soon.

This matter needs long-term planning, and even he cannot predict what kind of butterfly effect it will have on the future.

Next, Harrison returned to Oxfordshire for a few days, attended several internal company meetings, and separately represented Summit Ventures and the Research Institute in signing several important strategic cooperation agreements. He also communicated with Rainer in detail about the three major new material technologies he had given to Area 52 in advance, as well as the upcoming business layout and industrial planning.

Actually, Harrison has more technologies in “Planning” that need to be implemented, but there are already enough backlog projects in the Summit Research Institute, and it is not advisable to continue the rapid expansion in the short term.

Anyway, there are still many years to live, and even if he “leaves,” the autopilot custody is the same, so Harrison is not in a hurry.

On June 13th, 2020, Lamont-Nigel Ramsey arrived in Oxfordshire with his family. That day, Harrison announced the formal establishment of the Medical Research Institute under the Summit Research Institute and again started the construction.

On June 17th, 2020, Harrison, in the beginning stage of forming the Summit Studio, wrote the algorithm core of Self-domestication Engine using quantum programming language for the first time.

On June 20th, 2020, Summit Games officially released a recruitment announcement, offering a 50% higher-than-average basic salary to attract talents. Almost at the same time, headhunters arranged by Julia Lambert had already appeared in front of the nearly ten people named by Harrison. One of the talents had just entered university and was a freshman. This person was baffled but excited to be personally selected by Harrison.

On June 21st, 2020, a major event that had a huge impact on Harrison happened, much bigger than anything that had happened before.

At 9:03 pm that night, Harrison, who was surfing the web and playing games on his new computer in the apartment, suddenly received a phone call.

The incoming call was from Ward Owen, but the person speaking was Samantha.

“Cha…Chen brother, please come quickly! I beg you to come quickly, Junlang… he’s not okay! I can’t hear his heartbeat!”

Harrison stood up abruptly.

Regardless of causing a sensation, he opened the window without a second thought and jumped out of the fourth floor.

Mid-air, Harrison asked, “What happened? Where are you?”

Thud.

His feet landed, leaving two large pits in the ground.

Samantha: “In our new villa we just bought.”

Harrison held the phone in his right hand, striding forward with his legs like electricity, “I know, wait for me for three minutes. Where is Mr. Louie? Where is the doctor?”

“The ambulance is on its way, but it will take another seven to eight minutes to arrive. Mr. Louie is performing CPR on Junlang.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

The new house of Ward Owen and Samantha is located in the villa area of Silias Villa, No. 176, Qingyuan Avenue, Eastern District. The straight-line distance from Chesterton Apartment is 10 kilometers, so the journey is about 16 kilometers, considering some obstacles and bends.

With Harrison’s current limit ability, running is actually much faster than driving.

The entire city’s three-dimensional map had long been in his heart, and when he concentrated on recalling it, the details would vividly appear in his mind.

Running with his legs was not only faster, but he could also constantly take shortcuts, so it was conservative to say that he could arrive on the scene in three minutes.

In the night sky, one could only see a dark shadow shuttle through the city corners like lightning, occasionally leaping up to the height of a two-story building, then striding across again to cover a long distance.

As he leaped tens of meters, his toes lightly touched the roof without making any noise, while still holding the phone in his hand and communicating calmly with the other side.

Then he continued to shoot forward.

A woman was hanging a bedsheet on the roof in the middle of the night.

The dark shadow flashed, and the wind stirred the sheets to make a rustling sound.

The woman looked up, but there was nothing there. She just thought she had a hallucination.

Thirty seconds later, Harrison finally knew the whole story.
