Ark Simulator, Don't I Lack a Physical Form?

Su Rui's tone was tinged with amusement. "Anyway, I think the Doctor will definitely need it."

The Doctor didn't speak, but simply gestured defiantly at Su Rui on the screen, then found a chair where he could lie down and made a gesture to Su Rui.

"Alright, it seems you're all ready. Let's go, let's make you fly!"

With Su Rui's cheers, a violent beam of light erupted from the Energy Well, shooting straight into the sky and creating violent ripples in the sky that people were used to. Moreover, this energy carried Kristen's Myriad Star Garden and took them beyond the sky, where they saw the deep starry sky.

Through the thick glass porthole, Kristen came to the window. Behind her, Saria, Muelsyse, and Ho'olheyak also couldn't help but come to the window and look out at the unobstructed starry sky.

"So beautiful, isn't it?" Ho'olheyak murmured softly.

While they admired the starry sky, Su Rui adjusted the trajectory of Myriad Star Garden and communicated with the Doctor.

Volume 4, Chapter 219: The Hibernation Pod is the Doctor's

How do you plan to take them back?

Seeing that everyone else's attention was drawn to the starry sky, the Doctor spoke up and talked to Su Rui.

Su Rui then showed the trajectory she had planned for Myriad Star Garden through the Doctor's mask. "We'll circle Terra once, then land near Rhodes Island, away from Columbia."

We can't just let the Myriad Star Garden rise and then fall straight down. Besides, Saria and the others seemed captivated by the starry sky, so Su Rui didn't mind letting them pay more attention to the magnificent starry sky.

"Do you want to go take a look? They all seem really interested; why don't you go and join the fun?"

As Su Rui spoke, the Doctor shook his head. "No need, I've seen it many times already, the starry sky isn't important to me... When will you materialize this time?"

"How would I know? That depends on Saria. Speaking of which, you know about this, but you and Priestess (the Upper System) are both playing coy."

Su Rui's tone was somewhat resentful, but the Doctor just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Saria, on the other hand, was quite rational. After admiring the starry sky for a while, she turned her attention back to the Doctor and joined the conversation between the Doctor and Su Rui.

How do we get back?

"Don't worry, just continue to enjoy the starry sky. Myriad Star Garden will take us back."

Su Rui's voice rang out, and the trajectory of the Myriad Star Garden was also displayed in Saria's vision. "We will use the unwanted parts as ramming heads and crash back into Terra's atmosphere."

"Crash it back? That's too dangerous." Saria frowned.

"Otherwise, why do you think Kristen built such a large Energy Well? Terra is a sealed planet, Star Pod isn't just a layer of air; it's a tight defense system, so naturally, it needs to be breached."

As Su Rui spoke, she demonstrated the calculation of the impact energy again:

"That's why we're circling Terra once. I need to readjust the Myriad Star Garden, get it in the right position, and then rush into Terra. It'll be very bumpy, so I'm leaving the hibernation pod for the Doctor; she needs it the most."

"I don't think the others will have any objections." Saria nodded. "Call me when you need to make preparations."

As time went on, Muelsyse, Ho'olheyak, and the others also noticed Myriad Star Garden's actions and looked at the big screen:

"The angle of Myriad Star Garden seems to have changed. Could there be a problem?"

"... Indeed, I'm sorry, I failed. Myriad Star Garden's angle was wrong; we're probably going to die here."

Su Rui deliberately used a sorrowful tone to tell the lie, then suddenly switched to a gloating tone and said:

"Hey~ But I'm not here. I'm not among the dead. Isn't that surprising? Be happy for me~"

Su Rui's words made Muelsyse clench her pink little fists and stare at the big screen in front of her.

But Su Rui didn't stop; instead, she continued to provoke them.

"Want to hit me? Too bad I'm not here, you can't hit me~"

Su Rui's reaction made Saria almost unable to suppress her urge to teach him a lesson.

However, this is not a suitable time to joke.

Saria walked to the big screen, turned around, and faced Kristen and the others. "Don't worry, Su Rui was just joking. He's adjusting the angle of the Myriad Star Garden. We'll crash back into Terra at the right angle, so there will be some bumps."

Then, after waiting a while longer, as they were about to crash into Terra's atmosphere, Su Rui didn't care about anything else, but Su Rui was very firm about the hibernation pod:

"Your physical abilities are all far superior to the Doctor's, so keeping her in the hibernation pod is the most suitable option."

Kristen had no objections, but glanced at the Doctor before turning her attention back to the big screen.

Su Rui has already shown the track of Myriad Star Garden. Only white lines depict the structure of Myriad Star Garden, and a track route map shows the next direction and the effect.

Although it consists of just lines, it is full of a sense of technology and futurism that gets your blood pumping.

"I suddenly feel that this should be something I pursue as well, shouldn't it?" Kristen murmured softly, looking at the scene before her and turning to Saria.

"... I didn't expect you to have a new goal. That's a good thing."

Saria nodded and looked at the big screen. "Perhaps Su Rui can introduce it to you later."

They would certainly think the image was amazing, because the rendering of the Myriad Star Garden orbiting the Earth was created by Su Rui based on Armored Core VI.

After a period of anxious waiting, Myriad Star Garden finally reached the altitude required to collide with the Star Pod.

The Doctor had already settled into the hibernation pod, while Muelsyse sat at a table, looking out the window at Terra, who had become more alert, and at the real-time renderings on the large screen, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"It's a pity the Doctor can't enjoy these scenes with us."

"She's seen much more interesting things, so focus on appreciating what's in front of you. After all, such opportunities are truly rare."

As Su Rui and Muelsyse chatted, Saria and the others sat in a row at the table, facing sideways to the large screen controlled by Su Rui, looking out at the scenery.

It was like admiring a landscape in a post-apocalyptic world; deadly danger was all around them, yet they sat there leisurely, as if nothing had happened to them.

Soon, some metal debris floated past the window, accompanied by a violent tremor in Myriad Star Garden. Muelsyse and the others instinctively gripped the handrails beside them.

Muelsyse couldn't help but shout, "This is no ordinary bumpy ride!" The immense friction from the outside world made everything around her noisy, so if Muelsyse didn't speak loudly, no one could hear her at all.

"This aircraft wasn't specifically designed for shock absorption. From the very beginning of the design, Kristen only thought about how to fly up, not how to land! You should be grateful that it's safe!"

Su Rui's voice came from the sound system, responding to Muelsyse and reminding them at the same time:

"Look at the big screen! The sight of Myriad Star Garden disintegrating and collapsing will be spectacular."

This time, instead of showing a simple image composed of lines, Su Rui directly smashed the Myriad Star Garden onto the Star Pod, showing it shattering bit by bit, yet still managing to penetrate the planet's atmosphere—a truly realistic scene.

It must be very lucky to be able to see such a scene up close, but unfortunately, Su Rui actually wanted to see the view of the giant mech landing even more.

Volume 4, Chapter 220: Unfortunately, the landing point wasn't Sydney.

Under Su Rui's control, Myriad Star Garden crashed into a wasteland not far from Rhodes Island.

The massive building crashed to the ground, sending up flames and dust, but thankfully no one inside was injured.

When they lifted the metal plates that had melted from the intense heat and came outside, Muelsyse couldn't help but cheer:

"This was such a wonderful experience, Su Rui! I really want to do it again if I have the chance!"

But Su Rui didn't respond, and Saria subconsciously asked herself:

"Su Rui? Are you there?" Is she about to disconnect again?

Saria thought with some concern and subconsciously took out her phone.

Then they heard Su Rui's lazy voice. "Okay, I'm fine. Hurry up, Rhodes Island is nearby, they've already sent someone to pick us up."

As he spoke, the Scanning Vision reappeared, marking the route for Saria.

'I thought you would just disappear like last time,' Saria said with a hint of melancholy.

"This isn't something I can decide," Su Rui said helplessly. "However, even an old hand like the Upper System wouldn't do the same thing twice."

As Su Rui said this, Saria couldn't help but glance at the System Materialization Progress... 97% complete.

With only three percent left, what could she do to get Su Rui to her side as soon as possible? Saria fell into deep thought, pondering this matter.

Kristen walked up to Saria and the Doctor as they went:

"Greetings, both of you. Since I can't go back now, I think we need to discuss my work at Rhodes Island going forward."

This matter was mainly for the Doctor to decide, so both Saria and Kristen looked at the Doctor.

"What? Does Commander Kristen still want to continue your space program? I'm not saying I don't support it, but Rhodes Island's finances can't support you doing so."

"No, thanks. I do enjoy exploring the skies, but since I've already been there, and there's still the portal to the northern snowfield in the future, I'm planning to do something else."

Kristen smiled at Saria as she spoke, "Can I speak with Su Rui? I feel like the images he showed me must have some source, so I'd like to know, and it would be even better if I could get involved."

Without Kristen needing to say anything more, Su Rui couldn't contain herself and jumped out after hearing her words:

"Great! I'm interested in this too. Although this project might not be cheaper than space travel, don't worry, I'll take care of the funding."

"So, Su Rui, what exactly do you want to do?" Saria also became interested. Su Rui's interest in this matter meant that she could use it to bring her closer to him.

"Of course it's mechs, super cool mechs! Since Kristen is interested, let's hurry back to Rhodes Island. There's a big screen there, we can have a proper discussion!"

Su Rui's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement, which also attracted the attention of Muelsyse and Ho'olheyak standing nearby.

"What? Can I join? Don't leave me alone~" Muelsyse said, moving closer to Saria's phone.

"I'm very interested too." Ho'olheyak smiled and moved closer as well.

"But one of you studies ecosystems, and the other is just a historian. I'm guessing neither of you has anything to do with mechas."

Su Rui looked at Ho'olheyak and Muelsyse: "However, it's no problem for you to have a tour."

Soon, after being picked up by a convoy from Rhodes Island, Kristen and her companions were quickly taken to Rhodes Island.

However, they were not able to find a room with a large screen to talk to Su Rui right away; instead, they were taken directly to the Medical Department for examination.

Muelsyse was a little resentful, but she didn't say anything, only muttering, "I think I know now what that big robot Su Rui was talking about looks like~"

"Come on, you've already waited this long, a little longer won't make a difference, will it?"

Su Rui casually used the loudspeakers in the Rhodes Island room to communicate with her:

"Even if you're Water Spirit, you can't be completely covered in water, can you? Although my calculations suggest you haven't suffered any serious injuries, internal injuries are hard to predict. It wouldn't be good if you died from internal bleeding, especially since you fell directly from such a height."

In fact, Su Rui had already examined their bodies inside and out using the Scanning Vision, and there were no problems. However, it was better to avoid any bad precedents for this kind of medical procedure. After all, without Su Rui's help, any negligence could have caused the deaths of people in similar situations.

Fortunately, the inspection process won't take too long, since Saria and the others, as well as the Doctor, are all very important figures at the moment.

So, they were quickly confirmed to be healthy, and although they still needed to be observed, they were at least allowed to move around freely.

Guided by Su Rui, Kristen and Muelsyse arrived at a conference room, where they discussed the plan to build the mecha with Su Rui on a large screen.

To achieve this plan, many things are needed, so Su Rui needs to coordinate the overall plan, including cash flow and the industrial chain. In fact, Su Rui intends to have all of these.

Only in this way will those mechs truly belong to him.

However, this discussion took place while Su Rui was excluded from the discussion. She planned to leave business matters to Ho'olheyak, and as for Muelsyse, she would just help manage the supply chain. With Su Rui's procedures, this wouldn't be difficult.

Kristen, of course, is the most important, to realize Su Rui's design.

As for Saria, Saria was left alone outside by Su Rui in a beverage shop on Rhodes Island with a view of the outside world, where a glass of lemonade sat in front of her.

Saria looked out the window, knowing that Su Rui was probably making plans for Kristen and the others, but why exclude her?

"Su Rui, what did you call me here for?" Saria waited for a while, but didn't hear Su Rui's voice. She couldn't hold back any longer and simply asked directly.

"I'm just wondering, when will you let me materialize?"

Su Rui suddenly appeared in front of Saria, appearing as a Vouivre young man with silver hair and red eyes, sitting opposite Saria and smiling as he sized her up.

"Oh, don't be nervous, this is just a projection. Only you can see it. It's a right, or rather compensation, I obtained from the Upper System. I can have my image in advance."

Volume 4, Chapter 221: Saria's Daily Life

Upon hearing Su Rui's explanation, Saria breathed a sigh of relief and took a few more glances at the beautiful young man, Vouivre, whom Su Rui had transformed into.

"Okay, let's get serious. How's my materialization progress? I can't see the interface the Upper System is showing you, but I think it should be almost done."

"Hmm... how did you confirm that?" Saria nodded, glanced at the 98% materialization progress, and looked at Su Rui with some curiosity, wanting to ask for clarification.

"Well, in short, after a series of tests, I've determined that this so-called materialization progress is determined by my impression of the host, or rather, my affinity with them. Once it reaches 100%, the host decides whether I will materialize."

Su Rui, leaning on the table, smiled and looked at Saria sideways, "I think I should be able to materialize now."

Although this definitive condition was actually deduced by Talulah, it would have been too inappropriate for An'an to say it in front of Saria, so Su Rui still attributed the blame to herself.

Moreover, even if Talulah hadn't said anything, with Su Rui's extraordinary intelligence, she would have been able to figure out the situation very quickly, so Su Rui's statement was not wrong.

With this thought in mind, concealing her slight guilty conscience, Su Rui looked at Saria in front of her:

"Tell me quickly, what are you daydreaming about?"
