Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form? Chapter 144

While Su Rui could certainly retrieve all the Sarkaz who had been sold, it would require far more resources and effort, and the Sarkaz she rescued might already be Originium crystals.

Theresa nodded. "I understand. In that case, shall we start preparing now? What kind of manpower do you need? I can help you with the introductions."

Theresa stood up and looked at Su Rui, hoping that Su Rui would follow her.

"Shouldn't we wait for Kal'tsit?"

Su Rui glanced in the direction of the bathroom, Theresa shook her head. "Kal'tsit has other work to do afterward, I'll take you there."

"Okay, I'll tell Kal'tsit."

Su Rui nodded, knocked on the bathroom door, and said to Kal'tsit, "Kal'tsit, Theresa and I will be leaving now."

"I understand, I'll go to work later."

The sound of showering in the bathroom paused briefly, followed by Kal'tsit's reply, before resuming.

Su Rui then returned to Theresa, who had been waiting for some time:

"Alright, let's go."

Theresa nodded, and as she led Su Rui outside, she asked, "Tell me what kind of manpower you need first, so I can help you find some."

"No need. I've already looked at the current manpower of the Babel. I only need a few people."

As Su Rui spoke, she casually handed a list to Theresa: "These few people will do."

Theresa glanced at it and nodded, then looked at Su Rui: "Most people are fine, but there's one..."

"The mercenary named W, right? I'll persuade her, and I think she'd be happy to stay."

As Su Rui said this, she smiled at Theresa and said, "Let's go see that W. After all, she's the only one who might refuse, right?"

Theresa nodded, and then led Su Rui... or rather, was led by Su Rui to the mercenary camp where W was temporarily resting.

After all, Theresa couldn't know the exact location of every mercenary, but Su Rui could.

W didn't stay put inside the camp, so Theresa and Su Rui met her outside the camp.

At this moment, the mercenary was wandering around the corridors of the Babel, seemingly trying to learn about the place.

Upon noticing Su Rui and Theresa, W paused for a moment, then looked Su Rui up and down before turning his gaze to Theresa:

"Your Highness, I never expected to meet you here."

"Hello W, this is Su Rui. I've commissioned him to assemble a team to handle some clandestine matters, and he thinks you're capable of this job."

W's gaze returned to Su Rui, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and she couldn't resist getting closer to Su Rui's cheek. "He's actually a squad leader? I thought he was your boyfriend, hmm?"

Before W could finish speaking, he raised his hand to block Su Rui's fist, raising an eyebrow at Su Rui: "Oh ho~ you've got quite a temper. Don't think that just because you're pretty I'll get along with you. This is Kazdel, not some amusement park, young master."

Theresa smiled helplessly. Su Rui's approachable aura did have an effect; W's attitude was actually much better than how she treated others.

However, Su Rui was not satisfied with this. After pulling her fist back from W's grasp, Su Rui looked W up and down:

"Tsk, your name is really troublesome. From now on, you'll be called Wis'adel."

W looked at Theresa with some confusion, only to see Theresa smiling.

"It's a very nice name, implying a longing for a beautiful home."

"I see. I'll reluctantly allow you to call me that then. So, what do you want me to do, young master?"

"My name is Su Rui."

"Okay, I understand. So, what's up? I don't take on jobs that are too easy."

Wis'adel glanced at the person beside him who had detached herself from need, and seeing that Theresa thought there was nothing wrong with the name Su Rui had mentioned, he nodded in agreement with Su Rui's statement.

"Of course, a mission that almost killed you—it's up to you whether you dare to take it."

Su Rui crossed her arms, looked at Dale in his smug position, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course, who's afraid of who? If it's not dangerous enough, I'll be coming after you."

Wis'adel nodded, looking like she was going to argue with Su Rui, and it seemed she quite liked Su Rui's point of view.

However, Theresa, standing nearby, placed a worried hand on Su Rui's shoulder:

"Su Rui, is this mission really that dangerous? We should try to avoid too much risk; your safety is also very important."

"I'm sure I'll be fine, but it's hard to say about her."

Su Rui glanced at Wis'adel: "Actually, I certainly have safe methods, it just depends on which one Wis'adel prefers. If you want something more exciting, I have plenty of options."

"Of course we need to make it exciting." Wis'adel wasn't about to back down at this point, but after being glared at by Theresa, he immediately fell silent.

After Wis'adel quieted down, Theresa pulled Su Rui aside, gave Wis'adel a wink, and led them both to an office.

"Su Rui, tell me your plan. Remember, we can't be reckless at this time. We need to be as safe as possible."

"...Okay." Su Rui glanced at Wis'adel and nodded. Anyway, the priority now was to beat Theresa.

Su Rui then showed a scanned image of the small Sarkaz town where they were headed:

"This is the local terrain. The specific personnel arrangements may change due to various minor circumstances on the day, but the terrain will not change. What we need to do is simply release the people out of those heavily guarded cages, and then blow up the houses to expose the cages inside."

As someone who was able to join the Military Council, that Sarkaz had a certain reputation in Kazdel, and most of the Sarkaz living near the town knew that it was his territory.

Wis'adel looked at Su Rui with some doubt. "This is just one of our businesses, right? Our target seems to be a very famous person? Just blowing up a house shouldn't hurt him much. Once the business is moved, aren't we still working for nothing?"

"No matter how he shifts his businesses, I can find them. What I want is this kind of relentless pressure, this process of pushing him from annoyance to rage, leaving him with nowhere to run."

Su Rui leaned back on the sofa and wagged her finger. "And Penguin, who said he worked for nothing? One or two small outposts are nothing to him, but if the Sarkaz find out what he does, then it'll be a big problem."

"So, what does he do? A cage..."

Wis'adel looked at Theresa with a puzzled expression, hoping Theresa could offer some explanation.

"According to Su Rui's intelligence, this Sarkaz belongs to the Military Council, and his companies are secretly kidnapping Sarkaz and selling him to foreign forces."

"Damn it, Kazdel curses, there are actually people doing this kind of business?" Wis'adel couldn't help but feel puzzled. "I didn't even know Sarkaz could be sold for money. Aren't the other races supposed to avoid us like the plague?"

Wis'adel and Theresa's gazes both fell on Su Rui; clearly, they were both very interested in the matter.

However, unlike Wis'adel who knew nothing, Theresa's gaze held a hint of sadness, as she could already guess what Su Rui was about to say.

"Of course, it's for experiments. The Sarkaz's affinity for Originium and their special physique make them invaluable research material for many unethical researchers. That member of the Military Council made money off of this."

A flicker of understanding crossed Theresa's eyes, but the sadness remained visibly palpable.

Wis'adel was even more direct. "* Kazdel curses*, then why don't we just go and kill that son of a bitch?!"

"Because we wanted to make his death more dramatic," Su Rui said, adjusting the screen of his phone in front of Theresa and Wis'adel to a map of Kazdel showing the military commissioner's business holdings.

"I have all the intelligence. Even if he really moves his assets, he can't escape my sight. Wouldn't it be better to let the Sarkaz, who discover the truth, tear him apart?"

"Even if the Sarkaz find out what he did, that bastard is a military commissar, you don't really think a few hot-blooded idiots can take him down, do you?"

"What are you thinking?" Su Rui looked at Wis'adel suspiciously. "Of course you're supposed to take care of his men and then hand them over to the Sarkaz."

"And what about me? I take care of the guards, and then you just dump my prey on someone else?"

"You can beat him up first before you throw him."

"Make a deal."

Su Rui and Wis'adel were both satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation, but Theresa, standing nearby, watched the interaction between the two with a helpless expression, somewhat worried that things might go wrong because of them.

"Remember, your safety is the most important thing... Su Rui, you probably won't be directly involved in the mission, right?"

Theresa looked at Su Rui: "Your team needs a few more people to ensure your safety. I'll bring the rest of the people you chose as well."

"Okay." Su Rui nodded, then looked at Wis'adel: "Do you need to prepare? Or can we leave now?"

Even if I don't need to prepare, others will, right?

Wis'adel glanced at Su Rui's lazy demeanor. "Speaking of which, you don't look like you've trained at all. Could you really be some young master from somewhere?"

"If that's your way of putting it, then the place I used to live in was full of these so-called young masters."

Su Rui rolled her eyes, ignoring Wis'adel's barbed question, "You don't need to know who I am. Just focus on carrying out your mission. If you have any problems, go talk to Theresa."

"Tsk, tsk." Wis'adel seemed to want to say something, but found himself unable to think of a suitable adjective.

"A cultural desert, huh? Speechless? I suggest you read more books."

Su Rui looked at Wis'adel and smiled at her, a gesture that was clearly friendly, but it made Wis'adel blush instantly.

Prince of Kazdel: 306, put it down! I won't!

Red-Warm Wis'adel immediately wanted to use a more physical method to directly attack Su Rui.

Su Rui didn't resist, but just smiled smugly as she watched Wis'adel's actions, before Wis'adel pounced on her and pinned her down.

"What, you want to make a move? Let's see if you have the guts~"

Su Rui gave Wis'adel a defiant look, who froze after touching his wrist. "Are you too scared? You talk a big game, but you're just a coward. What a useless piece of trash~"

Although Su Rui's words made her blood boil, Wis'adel's attention wasn't on that at the moment. She looked thoughtful and then weighed Su Rui's wrist in her hand.

"What are you doing?" Su Rui asked, looking at Wis'adel deep in thought. "You can actually think?"

"Of course! If I weren't good at thinking, I wouldn't have had the chance to live this long!"

Wis'adel glared at Su Rui with annoyance, then suddenly reached out and picked Su Rui up from the sofa.

"What are you doing?" Su Rui asked, struggling to break free from Wis'adel's embrace. In her haste, she grabbed Wis'adel's horn.

"Put me down right now!"

"No way! Besides, you're so light. Do you not eat much? You're so thin!"

"My figure and weight are in perfect health, you don't need to worry. It's just that Terra generally have a higher body density."

"What do you mean? What does density refer to?" Wis'adel was taken aback, not quite understanding what Su Rui was saying.

"What I mean is, you guys are generally heavier!"

Su Rui grabbed Wis'adel's horn and couldn't help but shake it. "Alright, let me put you down. How can you have no sense of boundaries?"

"Do I need any boundaries? Generally, people at this distance are already dead."

Wis'adel spoke smugly, still not letting go of Su Rui. Instead, as Su Rui struggled, Su Rui reached out and hoisted Su Rui onto her shoulders.

"Phew~ I didn't expect I could actually do it. You're even lighter than I thought."

After Su Rui settled in, Wis'adel deliberately weighed her a few times, causing Su Rui to instinctively reach out and support her head.

"So, can you fucking put me down now?"

Su Rui noticed someone approaching the door, immediately locked it with her electronic abilities, and then urged Wis'adel:

"Alright, put me down quickly, someone's coming from outside."

"How did you hear those sounds outside? You're quite capable; I didn't hear any of them."

Wis'adel glanced at Su Rui with suspicion. While trusting Su Rui, he didn't put Su Rui down, but instead gave him a mocking smirk.

"So what if I don't put you down? It's not like I'll be the one embarrassed later anyway~"

Su Rui stared coldly into Wis'adel's eyes until the smile on her face faded. "Tsk, why are you staring at me like that? I'm not going to look away. And didn't you say there were people here? Why hasn't anyone come in?"

Then Wis'adel heard a knock on the door, and Theresa's puzzled voice:

"Su Rui, Wis'adel, are you inside? Why can't the door be opened?"

"Put me down quickly."

Su Rui couldn't help but kick her leg, but Wis'adel grabbed her ankle.

"What's the rush? I'll go open the door for His Highness."

As Wis'adel spoke, she walked toward the door, only to find that even the switches inside the room didn't respond no matter how many times she pressed them.

Su Rui sneered, "You don't think this can be resolved so easily, do you? I locked the door. Put me down now, or I won't open it."

Wis'adel sneered, completely unfazed by Su Rui's words. "If you're so capable, then make His Highness wait outside and see who admits defeat first!"

Theresa is the spiritual leader of the Sarkaz, and even those Sarkaz who stand against Theresa show her respect, so Wis'adel thinks it's impossible for Su Rui to do that.

Then Wis'adel heard Su Rui, who was sitting on her shoulders, speak towards the door:
