Chapter 3191: Developing Nuclear Arms

The weapons Yin Qing had already traded should have had less impact on the plane.

After all, she wouldn’t have steady supplies, and she wouldn’t be able to bring out large-scale weapons now, either.

Ning Shu’s true fear was her bringing out or developing nuclear arms.

One nuclear bomb wouldn’t just cause countless deaths and injuries. It would also bring radiation impact.

That sort of thing had no place in an ancient plane.

At the current economic level, people couldn’t even secure enough food to survive. The gap between the era’s economic development and iron-smelting technology was simply too vast.

Letting 2333 absorb the system this time saved Ning Shu from having to hear that constant nagging about ‘energy, energy’ all day long.

“You already finished absorbing the energy that fast?” Ning Shu asked 2333.

“No,” 2333 replied. “It’ll take some time. I’m slowly eroding the other party’s power.

“Right now, I’m actually quite fragile, with very little energy. I can barely sustain myself. I can’t take down that system in one go right now.”

Ning Shu said with no real sincerity, “Well, at least it’s better than before. You used to have to go into hibernation, but now you can still talk.”

2333: …

Did she have to keep roasting people? Will it kill her not to?

Ning Shu straightened her clothes, stepped down from the carriage, and saw Zhuo Cheran standing not far away with his hands behind his back.

Zhuo Cheran turned to look toward her. His eyes were cold and scrutinizing. “Why did you invite Miss Yin here?”

He felt that Marquis Xuanping’s household had stretched its hand a bit too far. They were actually digging into his affairs, even into his connection with Yin Qing.

At today’s banquet, among all the young ladies of noble families, only Yin Qing had fallen into the water. And although his betrothed had jumped in after her.

However, that had only been to evade responsibility for the situation.

Ning Shu replied evenly, “There’s been a drought in the Hanyang region. Marquis Xuanping’s household merely wishes for everyone to pool together some money to help the common people.

“As for what happened with Miss Yin, it’s true our household did not handle the matter properly. We will give Miss Yin proper compensation for it.”

In a calm but unyielding tone, Ning Shu continued, “But as for you, my lord, on what grounds do you question Marquis Xuanping’s household?”

After all, even the emperor was still relying on their family to provide funds.

Zhuo Cheran let out a cold laugh. “I hadn’t realized before just how sharp-tongued you could be.”

Ning Shu bowed slightly. “Thank you for the compliment, my lord.”

The truth was, people judged good and evil based on their own perspective.

Take a murderer, for instance. That murderer might kill someone, but treat their own family with utmost kindness. To their victim, that murderer was evil, but to their family, they were good.

Ning Shu had seen many couples deeply in love and steadfast in their devotion.

Take this man before her, for example. To Su Zhuru, Zhuo Cheran was the evil man who annihilated her entire family.

But to Yin Qing, he was someone she could depend on. He was the man who stayed loyal to her, who promised her a lifetime of love. To her, he was a good man.

For some women, no matter how wicked a man might be, even if the whole world despised him, as long as he loved her and treated her sincerely, she would follow him.

So what of ‘good’ and ‘bad’, then? It was all a matter of position. Human morality was not a clear-cut thing.

But the so-called great loves of some people were built on the corpses of innocents. Those epic love stories were made out of others’ tragedies.

Ning Shu’s principle was clear: ‘never drag innocent people into it.’ Her job was only to fulfill her entrustors’ wishes, and she would do nothing beyond the task.

Their love story might be touching, but it wasn’t worth innocent lives.

Feed people PDA all you’d like, but no one else should have to die for your romance.

To Zhuo Cheran, she and Marquis Xuanping’s household were the ‘bad guys’—the opposing side.
