Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form? Chapter 112
The swimsuit was prepared by Saria for Su Rui: shorts, paired with a T-shirt and a cool, breathable, sun-protective jacket. It could cover the skin while allowing heat to dissipate, a very nice combination.
Even though Su Rui didn't reveal much skin, many curious glances still fell upon him.
Along the way, Su Rui and Ifrit stopped frequently and eventually landed on the beach, where they saw many vendors setting up stalls and tourists playing and sunbathing on the sand.
Ifrit stroked her chin and nodded. "This is a nice place. Maybe I could set up a barbecue stall here."
"I think so too." Su Rui looked around and saw a Rhodes Island stall, so she pulled Ifrit closer to take a look.
Because Gummy and the others stayed in Ursus, this place became a place where other Ursus people sold ice cream with added alcohol. Su Rui couldn't help but swallow and look around.
Although I'm not a big drinker, I think I can easily handle a small serving of ice cream, right?
With that thought in mind, Su Rui looked at Ifrit beside her. "What flavor do you want?"
Ifrit could have anything she wanted, as long as it wasn't alcoholic. Su Rui, on the other hand, ordered an ice cream with vodka. The Ifrit found a seat and slowly savored their treats.
Just as Su Rui and Ifrit were lying on a beach chair Ifrit, leisurely enjoying their ice cream, a silver-haired woman dressed in practical clothing that revealed her fair thighs and carried a heavy Feline on her back appeared before Su Rui.
"Hello after the victory, is there anything I can help you with?"
Since the other party had already come to her, Su Rui certainly couldn't pretend not to see them. She scanned the other party's information, code name and name, in short, "Black", a big sister named Feline who was known as the Queen of Assassins.
Moreover, the other party is the head of Siesta Security; I wonder what their purpose is in coming to see Su Rui this time?
The information didn't reveal Hei's motive for actively recruiting Su Rui, so he could only speculate: could it be that Hei was also attracted to Su Rui?
Under Su Rui's questioning gaze, Hei sat down next to him and nodded:
"Hello, I'd like to ask your thoughts on Siesta Security."
"... It's alright. At least there's no trouble on the streets, it's quite lively, and it's safe."
Su Rui was temporarily satisfied with Siesta's security, but didn't know what Black wanted to say.
"So, are you that celebrity? Do you have bodyguards with you when you go out?"
"Not a celebrity, no bodyguards... wait, I do have bodyguards. You came here just to ask this?"
Su Rui patted Ifrit, who was glaring at Black. The little girl's intimidation was like a kitten meowing at you; it might scare away some passersby, but it posed no threat to Black at all.
"... If you encounter any problems, you can ask the security personnel at Siesta for help; they will assist you."
Hei nodded to Su Rui without saying anything more, then stood up. "Please be careful, and have a pleasant time in Siesta."
Hei couldn't be too obvious about his intentions. He couldn't very well tell this handsome young man who was visiting Siesta that he looked unsafe and could be easily kidnapped, especially since he was with a little girl and looked like he was a perfect candidate for being trafficked to a group.
If that's the case, people will probably kick her out before she even finishes speaking.
However, I've already given the warning, so hopefully nothing bad will happen.
After Black left, Su Rui gently patted Ifrit's little head to comfort her:
"Alright, they're just security from Siesta, they were just kindly reminding me."
"Hmph, unnecessary. I'm enough to protect Su Rui; she doesn't need her help."
Ifrit raised her chin with considerable pride.
Hei, who hadn't gone far, twitched its furry ears. Hearing Ifrit's words, a slight smile involuntarily appeared on its lips, but it quickly vanished as if it had never been there.
However, Black wasn't the only one who wanted to chat with Su Rui. Soon after Black left, another Aegir woman with short white hair, red eyes, and a great figure appeared in front of Su Rui.
Su Rui used her Scanning Vision to observe. Hmm, a member of the Alive Until Sunset, from the ocean, their true form being some kind of giant ocean beast... They probably aren't having an easy time in the ocean ravaged by the Seaborn, are they?
Su Rui turned to look at the woman, a smug smile creeping onto her lips, "Hello, big star."
Volume 4, Chapter 233: Hiking in High Heels?
"Hello... You're special, even the way you look at me. Maybe you know something?"
The white-haired Aegir woman, with a mysterious smile, sat down next to Su Rui and introduced herself:
"I am Dan."
"I'm Su Rui, so you came to see me just to say hello? Aren't you going to prepare for your performance?"
Su Rui curiously looked the giant beast avatar up and down, her Scanning Vision clearly analyzing its body, but its true form was not here, so Su Rui could not see its full appearance.
Dan didn't feel alienated by Su Rui's words. Instead, he nodded and said, "We just arrived in this city and haven't had a proper rest yet, but don't worry about the performance. We never let you down."
"That would be best, but I'm not going to listen anyway, you can do whatever you want."
Su Rui shrugged. He wasn't particularly interested in the concert itself, but he knew that it was always a popular event when performed by a famous singer or band.
Dan didn't seem to care about Su Rui's attitude. Instead, he smiled and said, "We also have some snacks brought from the ocean. In your words, they're local specialties, flavors you can't find on land. Would you like to try some?"
"What? Let me make this clear first, I don't eat fish. It's not tasty, it has too many bones, and I don't like anything that I can't eat in big bites."
"Hmm, I don't really like to chew slowly either."
"That's just because your body is too big, you simply can't chew slowly and carefully, right?"
Dan paused for a moment, realizing that Su Rui Su Rui knew some information, but not so much. Then, Dan smiled with relief.
"So, would you like to give it a try? I guarantee it tastes great."
"...I might consider it." Su Rui hesitated for a moment. He was indeed interested in the so-called gourmet food that Dan mentioned. After all, the desire for food is one of the three most important human desires, at least that's what Su Rui thought.
"No! Su Rui, don't trust her so easily. What if she's a bad person?"
Ifrit, who had been watching Su Rui and San's conversation from the sidelines, immediately objected. She had been paid by Saria to protect Su Rui!
Although Ifrit would have done it even without payment, she was now being paid! A sense of mission welled up within her, Ifrit immediately stood up, grabbed Su Rui's wrist, glared at the white-haired Aegir woman, and then pulled Su Rui away.
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave. She doesn't look like she has good intentions. Let's ignore her."
"I just want to go eat something nice; I promise nothing will go wrong."
Although Su Rui verbally protested, he allowed Ifrit to pull him away into the distance.
However, Su Rui didn't forget to give Dan a hint. As she watched Su Rui and Ifrit leave, she suddenly heard her phone ring. She took it out and saw that it was an email from Su Rui.
Meanwhile, Ifrit, annoyed, pulled Su Rui along while scolding her:
"Honestly, Su Rui, your vigilance is too weak. You need to learn to distinguish between good and bad people, who can be trusted, and who you can only believe to a certain extent. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Su Rui looked at Ifrit, who seemed like a little adult, and a pleasant smile crept onto her lips.
Ifrit, hands on her hips, glared at Su Rui, who was bursting into laughter. "Hey! What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy?"
"What's wrong?" Ifrit was taken aback for a moment, then looked curious.
"Of course, I'm going out with Saria tomorrow!"
Su Rui winked at Ifrit and made a face. "Alright, we still have plenty of time today. Since we've already rested for a while, shall we continue?"
"Okay, I have no objection." Ifrit nodded.
Feeling a bit bored strolling through the bustling streets, and constantly eating was also getting tiresome, Su Rui, after discussing it with Ifrit, suggested, "How about we take some food and head towards the volcano? We don't need to go too far, just to take a look and kill some time."
"Of course, no problem!" Ifrit was clearly looking for something interesting to do, so she immediately nodded in agreement.
The two walked towards the volcano, carrying snacks and drinks.
Fortunately, with Su Rui's System Space available, there's no need to worry about where to dispose of junk files.
In fact, the vast majority of volcanoes are not active, which means that volcanoes can also have lush vegetation. In fact, due to the rich minerals brought by volcanic activity, the vegetation may grow more lushly than on ordinary hills.
Su Rui and Ifrit strolled along the mountain path, sipping drinks and chatting, looking quite content. More importantly, they didn't need to carry anything, as everything was stored in their System Space.
Then, Su Rui and others evoked a series of soft rustling sounds, along with the sounds of a young girl seemingly struggling and complaining.
Ifrit immediately became alert, reached out and grabbed Su Rui's wrist, standing in front of Su Rui and trying to shield Su Rui with her small body.
"Don't worry, he's just someone who's trapped."
Su Rui reached out and touched Ifrit's head. He had previously seen a figure active near the volcano through his Scanning Vision... In fact, there was more than one; there were also two Rhodes Island Originium Geologists or Catastrophe Messenger.
However, what appeared before Su Rui and Ifrit was indeed just an innocent-looking girl.
Pushing aside the obstructing bushes, Su Rui and Ifrit, along with the pink-haired Liberi girl whose skirt was tangled in vines, came into view.
The girl's name was Ceylon. When she met Su Rui's gaze, she couldn't help but pause for a moment because of Su Rui.
However, before Ceylon could say anything, Ifrit, standing nearby, remarked speechlessly:
"Why would someone wear a skirt to go hiking, especially such a long one?"
"I..." Upon hearing Ifrit's words, Ceylon's face flushed red. Looking at Ifrit and Su Rui in front of him, he subconsciously retorted:
"But didn't you also come out hiking in your swimsuits?"
"We just came for a walk, we didn't run off onto the road like you did."
Su Rui shrugged and, together with Ifrit, helped Ceylon free herself from the vines that were tangling around her skirt. Then, while pulling up the skirt, Ifrit saw something even more surprising:
"You're still wearing high heels?"
Volume 4, Chapter 234: A Faint Gaze
It's rare to see a young lady like her going hiking in a loose dress and high heels, and even venturing off the main road.
Ifrit couldn't help but look at him with pity. Was this guy somehow a little dim-witted?
Su Rui seemed easy to fool because she didn't need to care so much, but Ifrit wouldn't compare her to Su Rui; in short, this person was a fool.
Ceylon noticed Ifrit's gaze, but dressed in a skirt and high heels, she couldn't really refute Ifrit. She could only lift her skirt, place one hand on her waist for ease of movement, and glance at Su Rui.
"But is it really a good idea for the two of you to go hiking alone? What if you encounter danger? Shall I take you back?"
"This is none of your business. Let me see, Ceylon? I think you have something to do, don't you?"
Ceylon froze for a moment, then a look of panic crossed his face. He even forgot about talking to Su Rui and Ifrit: "Yes! I need to find out what's been going on at Siesta Volcano lately, or it might be dangerous!"
As she spoke, disregarding the high heels she was wearing, Ceylon lifted her skirt with one hand and tried to run up the mountain.
"... Please wait a moment."
Su Rui blocked Ceylon and took out a pair of sneakers from her System Space: "At least you should change some first. The size should be about right. By the way, if you take this route, you'll run into Rhodes Island operators. One of them will be traveling with you. I've already messaged them."
"Thank you, this is so important to me."
Cyrani gratefully urged Su Rui to hurry up, wanting to reach out and grab Su Rui's wrist to express his thanks, but Ifrit stopped him. He could only awkwardly withdraw his hand and wave goodbye to Su Rui and the forum materials.
"Since that's the case, I'll set off now. Thank you for your help!"
After Ceylon left, Ifrit turned around, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Su Rui with annoyance:
"That woman just now clearly wanted to take advantage of you; don't fall for their tricks."
"Really? Then if I pinch your cheek now, that'll be a bargain for Jenny?"
Su Rui chuckled and reached out to pinch Ifrit's smooth cheek, "Alright, this is just normal design and interaction. It's just a handshake, nothing strange about it."
"But it would seem strange if the target were you."
Ifrit muttered to herself, even though the items were there for everyone to see, some things would make people worry about being stolen if someone just glanced at them, Su Rui was a similar case.
Su Rui, of course, heard Ifrit's mutterings and reached out to tap her head. "Alright, I'm tired. Let's rest here for a bit and then go back."
"Hey? I thought we were going to play a little longer." Ifrit reluctantly sat down next to Su Rui, grabbing his arm and pleading, "Can we not go back yet?"
If she went back, she would have to face homework that Silence didn't know about, Ifrit didn't want that.
"At least I'll let you go down the mountain first, Emei. If you want to play, find a place where I can see you. I'll rest while you continue playing, okay?"
Ifrit. Although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't play with Su Rui, it wasn't bad... Wait a minute, isn't playing games a great way to relax?
Ifrit's eyes immediately lit up, and she turned to look at Su Rui:
"We can play games together! That way, Su Rui, you can relax and play with me at the same time!"
"Really? You finally made it to Siesta, and instead of enjoying this beautiful scenery, you just want to sit here and play games with me?"
Su Rui looked at Ifrit with amusement and reached out to pat her head.
"The point of going out is to have fun, so of course we should do whatever makes us happy."
Ifrit ignored Su Rui's words and instead glanced around:
"I think the environment here is pretty good. How about we play games right here? We don't have to worry about being disturbed."
