Chapter 2557: Why Does the Man Castrate Himself?
Ning Shu glanced at the spot between Alviss’ legs. He calmly put his book on his lap and covered the region.
“Castrate means cutting off the place that you pee from,” Ning Shu said straightforwardly.
Vivian made a sound of acknowledgment before she asked Ning Shu, “Why does the woman die? Why does the man castrate himself?”
“Ordinary people’s lives are very fragile. Since the man is a powerful mecha pilot, his enemies must not be weak, either. If an ordinary woman falls into the hands of these people, she will probably die, since she doesn’t have the power to protect herself. Knights saving princesses only happen in stories,” Ning Shu said.
“Not only would the woman have to live in fear, but the man would also be worn out from having to run all over constantly trying to save his woman.” Ning Shu brushed Vivian’s wine-red hair. People must have the strength to protect themselves and take their hopes for survival into their own hands. Putting their hopes for survival in the hands of others, hoping that a hero would come to save them, was a recipe for disaster.
Vivian nodded, but in truth, she didn’t fully understand what Ning Shu was telling her.
“You should go first,” Alviss said to Vivian.
“Oh, okay.” Vivian immediately stood up and went out.
Alviss looked at Ning Shu and said, “It’s just a story. It was meant to make Vivian happy. What you said completely twisted the story and made it dark.”
Ning Shu shrugged. A little bit apologetically, she said, “I swear I won’t interrupt you guys again next time.”
“Besides, regrets only serve to make a story more beautiful. The most tragic ends are the most memorable. Next time, don’t tell Vivian the story of a handsome prince and his princess. Tell her about Liang Shangbo and Zhu Yingtai, or Romeo and Juliet. They all end tragically. I guarantee that Vivian will cry like a kicked dog in front of you. Then you can pass her some tissues and make even better of an impression?” Ning Shu suggested to Alviss.
“Did you need me for something?” Alviss asked, changing the subject.
“I wanted to ask you to teach me how to operate a spaceship,” Ning Shu said.
“Operating a spaceship is very easy. Since the spaceship is equipped with an AI, you can just give orders to the spaceship, set a destination, and the spaceship will head there without you needing to be on the wheels.”
It sounded simple, indeed. The spaceship seemed quite able.
Alviss pushed his wheelchair and began introducing Ning Shu to how the spaceship operated. He also taught Ning Shu how to give orders to the spaceship’s AI.
Ning Shu noticed that Alviss seemed very proficient at this. She asked, “Is this everything that you learned from your master?
“How much did you learn from him?”
“I didn’t know anything at first,” Alviss lightly said. “I had to learn even the most basic things, like literacy and numbers.”
“Fortunately, the nutrient solutions that my master gave me gradually improved my body. Otherwise, I don’t think I could’ve learned how to build mechas and spaceships before I died.”
Alviss’s first life was relatively good. Alyssa’s life, in comparison, had ended before it even started.
She struggled to survive on Sehlde and died nearly immediately after she left.
Alviss continued telling her how to operate the spaceship, and Ning Shu silently listened to him.
Generally speaking, the spaceship’s AI could solve many things regarding the spaceship’s operation without its controller needing to do anything.
“This spaceship must be very expensive, right?” Ning Shu asked.
“It is very expensive,” Alviss said. “The metal used to build it is, for one. It needs to be resistant to the wear and tear of its use. It also has to be able to withstand high temperatures, since the spaceship needs to be very fast, and the friction that it creates as it moves generates heat. Besides that, this spaceship also has an AI core, which is also very expensive.”
Ning Shu grunted, indicating that she understood him. “If we’re still broke by the time we land on Planet Omega, can we just sell this spaceship?”
