Chapter 394 Player's Counterattack (9) - Enticing Si Zhong
When Ning Shu saw Si Zhong's desperate expression, her heart felt like it was filled with lead, and she felt suffocated.
But she could not forget what she had to do as a human being; love was insignificant compared to her country and family.
She did indeed use Si Zhong, and now that she's been discovered, her mission may have to end here. She admitted it quite directly.
Si Zhong was in great pain. He pressed, "So all your kindness towards me was an act? Your love for me was fake, right? Is all this because of this?"
"This" refers to her gathering information at Chongzheng Building.
Ning Shu paused for a moment before speaking: "It's true that I'm good to you, and it's true that I love you... but these things don't affect what I'm doing."
Ah Zhong, I am human, I love my home, who would willingly become a slave? If it were you, would you be willing?
Si Zhong remained silent; he was definitely unwilling.
Even if he were an ordinary person, let alone a prince of Soya, he wouldn't agree.
“Ah Zhong, to you, Blue Star is just an ordinary one among your more than one hundred star systems.”
Perhaps you can move to another planet if you get tired of living there, or even use it for trading.
But for humanity, Earth is our lifeblood, especially for the Chinese people; territory is not something to be traded.
After a long silence, Si Zhong spoke: "So, you insist on fighting against us for humanity, is that it?"
Ning Shu shook his head: "It's not about fighting against you, it's about fighting against the Loy Star people. Currently, the Soya Star people are just guests on Earth."
Without you, the Loy aliens wouldn't care about the fate of Earth, and I'm very grateful that they're willing to govern Earth.
However, if you insist on invading Earth, then we will be your enemies.
Si Zhong understood that if he still wanted to be with Ning Shu, the Soya Star people would have to give up this planet.
“I don’t want to give you up, but I also can’t harm the interests of our home planet. I…” Si Zhong didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Ning Shu understood Si Zhong's predicament. Neither of them was wrong; their only mistake was that they were on opposing sides.
Ning Shu thought of something and said to Si Zhong, "As the second prince of Soya Star, how many planets will you inherit in the future?"
This is similar to a family with several children. Even if the division of the family property is unfair, everyone can at least get something.
Si Zhong didn't understand Ning Shu's meaning, but he still said directly, "At least 10 planets, but only the taxes and jurisdiction belong to me; the ownership still belongs to the mother planet."
Ning Shucai didn't care about that: "Then do you want to marry me?"
Si Zhong was led astray by Ning Shu's topic. Are these two topics related?
Reason told him that Ning Shu was about to trap him, but his body was more honest, and his mouth spoke faster than his brain: "I want to."
Ning Shu was very satisfied with his answer: "In China, there is a custom of giving betrothal gifts when marrying a wife. Do you know what betrothal gifts are?"
He knew this; he had read about it in a book.
"Then I'll ask you for a dowry right now. Help us this once, give humanity a chance to fight back against the Roy aliens."
If Soya Star takes over Blue Star, and you help us again, you are harming the interests of your home planet.
But things haven't reached that point yet. If the Loy aliens didn't take good care of Earth and we took it back, then your deal is null and void.
I don't want to put you in a difficult position, so please help us this time. Whether it succeeds or not, consider it your betrothal gift to me.
If successful, I will marry Soya Star as a human.
If I fail, I will marry you as my own.
Si Zhong felt that Ning Shu was wrong: "But no matter whether you succeed or fail, your strength is no match for Soya Star. It will be easy for us to take you down."
Ning Shu chuckled inwardly: "So, just consider it as having already won over Blue Star, and use Blue Star as a betrothal gift to marry me."
Anyway, you'll have 10 planets in the future, so giving one as a dowry isn't a problem. As for how to do it, you can negotiate with your home planet yourself.
Ning Shu knew, of course, that with humanity's current strength, it was no match for Soya Star.
That doesn't stop her from using the other party. As long as Si Zhong is willing to give her a chance, humanity will have time to breathe.
When humanity develops to the point where it can rival the planet Soya, they will either sit down and negotiate or go to war.
In short, what she needs to buy is time.
Si Zhong immediately understood Ning Shu's meaning and wondered when Ning Shu had come to understand him so well.
Ning Shu didn't urge Si Zhong: "Think it over carefully. If you reject my proposal, then just hand me over to your brother. You don't need to worry about whether I live or die anymore."
Ning Shu would not compromise, and Si Zhong knew this very well, which was why he was conflicted.
Two days later, he found Ning Shu and agreed to her request, deciding to help humanity this once.
He knew he was being willful, but he had always been this way, so let him be willful one more time. At worst, he could work harder to conquer the world for Soya Star in the future.
Ning Shu was not surprised when she received Si Zhong's affirmative reply, which led to today's events.
It can be said that Si Zhong deserves much credit for the smooth progress of this plan, and she is truly grateful to him.
Ning Shu knew that her behavior today was very different from usual, but she was in a good mood and had to reward Si Zhong.
She caught a glimpse of Zhige pretending to be busy, leaned closer to Si Zhong and whispered, "After this is all over, I'll give you a reward. You can do whatever you want."
The implication in those words was incredibly strong, leaving Si Zhong somewhat stunned.
Ning Shu chuckled inwardly, knowing that she had gone a bit too far today.
"Alright, I have to go now. You stay here and wait for our victory news!"
After Ning Shu finished speaking, she called to Zhi Ge and sent her back to Li Mengqi and the others.
She took out a special communicator and contacted An Ran: "I'm preparing to leave Chongzheng Building to carry out other missions. Have all your people hidden away?"
An Ran: "Yes, you can leave with peace of mind. My people will keep a close watch on everything in Youcheng and will contact you immediately if anything unexpected happens."
"good."
An Ran then gave Ning Shu another piece of information: "Currently, all cities belonging to the territory of Soya Star are under surveillance. You can start dealing with the Loy Star people."
"receive."
After Ning Shu replied to An Ran, he said to the personal terminal, "Attention all squads, each squad should leave a few people to guard the protective shield. No Soya aliens are allowed to reinforce the Loi aliens."
The rest of us are going to North City to deal with the Loy aliens. Since I have to go on another mission, command is temporarily being handed over to Cheng Chuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in each team received a notification from the system.
[A commander change request has been detected. The commander you are using has been changed from "Ning Shu" to "Cheng Chuan".]
He will lead the team to complete this mission; the quantum computer will connect you and the commander.
At the same time, Cheng Chuan also received a system notification from himself as the commander.
