Ark Simulator, Aren't I Incorporeal?

Then, he realized that he was still on Rhodes Island, except that his host seemed to be soaking in a bathtub.

"Are you a fish that just came ashore? Why are you soaking in the bathtub?"

Su Rui asked in confusion, then realized that the current host was Skadi: "Oh, you do seem to be a fish after all."

Skadi looked around in confusion, but found nothing. Then, the white-haired Aegir girl, blowing bubbles, leaned on the edge of the bathtub and floated to the surface, looking around in bewilderment.

Skadi tilted her head and thought for a moment, feeling that the voice beside her seemed somewhat familiar. Then her eyes lit up. "Su Rui?"

Is that the cute boy who used to be with the Doctor? But how did he get into my room?

Skadi was a little confused, but didn't think too much about it, simply looking around with curiosity:

"Where are you?"

"I'm living in your head now. By the way, have we met before?" Su Rui was a little confused. He seemed to have some recollection of it.

Skadi's cheeks puffed out; Su Rui hadn't recognized her, which annoyed Skadi somewhat.

But what intrigued Skadi even more was Su Rui's question, "You live in my head? How is that possible?"

"It's a bit difficult to explain, but basically you just need to understand that I need to stay here with you for a period of time before I can obtain a physical form."

Su Rui didn't dwell on this difficult-to-explain issue for too long, but instead changed the subject:

"By the way, how long have you been in the bathtub? Is this how you usually spend your time?"

Skadi nodded. "It's very comfortable in the water."

"That makes sense. After all, you're an aquatic creature, so being in water is a natural thing for you. Besides, if we put you in a large glass fish tank, wouldn't that be similar to keeping fish?"

Skadi nodded, showing no displeasure at Su Rui's words, but rather revealing interest in her gaze:

"Su Rui, do you have any ideas?"

"No, I was just saying. Speaking of which, you seem to be looking for some information, about those underwater cities in Aegir? Or about your fellow Abyssal Hunters?"

Skadi's eyes suddenly sharpened:

"Su Rui, do you know where I can find other Abyssal Hunters?"

"There's a clue in a small village in Kazimierz; we can go check it out."

As Su Rui spoke, she showed Skadi a map of Kazimierz: "Right here, there's a place called the Knight's Treasure. You can exchange the items there for some intelligence and help from Kal'tsit."

Skadi nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Su Rui... you and Kal'tsit seem to know each other quite well, can't you just ask her for me?"

"Hmm... my intelligence is actually more comprehensive Kal'tsit's, but if you want my intelligence, you'll have to pay a price~"

Su Rui smugly hummed, "Want to hear my terms?"

"Hmm." Skadi nodded, her red eyes looking at the air in front of her with a serious expression. Although she was a bit simple-minded, Skadi was very serious about her compatriots and friends.

"Okay~ listen carefully." Su Rui coughed deliberately, creating suspense before saying:

"My condition is that you come with me to the place I just pointed out, retrieve the Knight's Treasure there, and I'll tell you about the other Abyssal Hunters. By the way, don't worry, all your companions who are still alive are fine."

If you don't die, then you're fine, right?

Skadi nodded, not giving it much thought. Of course, she couldn't possibly have imagined what Su Rui was thinking.

Having decided to take action, Skadi immediately began. The girl stood up from the bathtub, water droplets dripping down her graceful curves and long hair. Skadi stepped barefoot onto the floor, dried herself with a towel, and then changed into her combat uniform that revealed the soft flesh of her inner thighs.

"Speaking of which, you can actually clamp a greatsword between your thighs~"

Su Rui carefully examined Skadi's attire, her tone tinged with amusement.

"... Yes, of course."

Skadi nodded, a hint of pride in her voice. Then, she went to the bedside and deliberately made a gesture for Su Rui, as if she were clamping a greatsword between her thighs.

"Okay, that's a great emoticon. I've taken a screenshot and will send it to you."

Skadi paused for a moment, then heard her personal terminal beep, and in her mind, she heard Su Rui's urging voice:

"The photos have been sent to your phone, go check them out."

Volume 6, page 350: Therefore, fish are also a kind of bird.

"Yes, it's very well shot." Skadi nodded, pondering a certain question.

Before she even asked, Su Rui had already predicted it. "Okay, when it comes to the field of electronic devices, there's nothing I can't do. Do you understand now?"

"Hmm, you're amazing." Skadi's red eyes sparkled, and her tone couldn't help but reveal admiration.

"Of course! In the field of electronics, if I say I'm second, absolutely no one dares to say they're first!"

Su Rui was so flattered by Skadi's praise that she almost stood in front of Skadi and made a boastful claim.

"Alright, let's get going. Is there anything else you need to prepare? I have a whole bunch of normal daily necessities here, so there's no need to prepare anything extra."

Skadi nodded. "Should we go tell the Doctor that you're coming out with me?"

"Why tell her? Oh, as a Rhodes Island operator, you do need to report." Su Rui was initially puzzled, then nodded knowingly.

"Then let's hurry up. Let me take a look at the procedures... You fall under the Doctor's jurisdiction, so I do need to speak to her specifically."

Skadi nodded. Actually, she wanted to say that she should inform the Doctor, the parent, before taking Su Rui out, but since Su Rui hadn't said anything, she would let her say so later.

Soon, Skadi arrived at the Doctor's office, knocked on the door, and heard a "Come in~" from inside.

Skadi pushed open the door and nodded to the Doctor:

"I need to go to the village of Kazimierz."

"Are you going on a trip? Or have you found information about the Abyssal Hunters? I haven't received any notifications."

The Doctor looked up at Skadi with a puzzled expression, then at the documents in his hand, and finding that there was indeed no relevant information, he looked up at Skadi again with a puzzled expression.

Skadi turned to the Doctor and shook her head. "I wanted to go out with Su Rui, so I told you, Doctor."

"Su Rui? Oh, he's with you now." The Doctor nodded, a pleasant smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.

"So, you two actually just met not long ago, right?"

"How did you know?" Skadi's simple question had the Doctor tricked her into revealing what she wanted to know before Su Rui could even stop him.

Skadi also noticed Su Rui's disgruntled sobs and looked around in confusion.

"What's wrong, Su Rui?"

"It's nothing... I just felt there was no need to tell the Doctor about this. It's hard to say, but anyway, I'm feeling a bit conflicted. Okay, since you've already said it, let's not dwell on it. Shall we go?"

Skadi nodded, glanced at the Doctor, and said, "Then let's set off."

"Bon Voyage."

The Doctor waved, and Skadi, guided by the clues Su Rui had shown her, made her way to Rhodes Island's hangar.

"I do not have permission to ride in an aircraft..."

Skadi hesitated, looking at the marker in her field of vision that indicated she had boarded the aircraft.

Su Rui urged in her ear, "Don't worry, since the Doctor already knows about my situation, I have the authority to let you board that aircraft. If you hadn't told me about my situation, I really wouldn't have planned to do these things that would be discovered."

Skadi nodded, and at Su Rui's urging, boarded the aircraft, watching as the door automatically closed and the aircraft took off.

Skadi asked with a hint of doubt, "Su Rui, don't you like the Doctor?"

No, why do you ask?

"Because it seems like you don't want her to know you're here."

"Hmm... well, it's hard to say. Generally speaking, you don't want your parents to know everything you do when you go out, right? It would feel a bit strange. Anyway, I don't like my family interfering too much in my life."

Skadi nodded. "Oh."

"Why are you so indifferent? Don't you have any family?"

Su Rui questioned her somewhat displeasedly, Skadi paused for a moment before replying, "Of course I have."

"Hmm, you haven't even shared your thoughts on family with me?"

So that's what Su Rui was thinking. Skadi nodded. "I don't have much of an impression of my family."

"... Okay, is it because of Aegir's book-based social parenting style?"

Su Rui didn't press the matter further, but instead displayed the map in Skadi's view. "Sit tight, we're ready to go!"

"Hmm." Skadi nodded, then just stood there holding her greatsword, lost in thought.

"... Want to go see the view from the sky? Just don't touch the lever on the driver's seat; you can sit anywhere in the driver's seat."

Looking at Skadi's dazed expression, Su Rui felt a little regretful that she didn't have a physical form right now; that face must feel so nice to pinch.

Skadi had no objection to Su Rui's suggestion, and then got up and walked to the driver's seat.

Whether it was due to her own weight or the weight of the greatsword she carried, Su Rui immediately noticed the aircraft tilting as Skadi moved around. To keep the aircraft balanced, he had to directly operate the engines, adjusting their output to prevent it from losing its balance as Skadi moved.

What's going on? Logically speaking, even if Skadi underwent modifications, she shouldn't be this heavy, right?

Was it to match the weight of that greatsword?

Although she had some doubts, Su Rui didn't dwell on it for too long. Instead, after Skadi sat down, she and Skadi silently watched the scenery in the sky together.

"Oh, by the way, there's another pony from Rhodes Island who accepted a mission to help out in that village. Her name is Grani. She looks a bit heroic, but she's actually a girl, so don't mistake her for someone else."

"Yes, all we need to do is find the treasure, right?"

"Of course, but helping out with the village's problems won't take long. If we just barge in, there will be a lot of people blocking our way."

Skadi nodded. Trusting Su Rui, she didn't say much, but simply looked silently at the scenery outside the window.

Even fish that live in water must be curious about the view from the sky, right?

Su Rui noticed Skadi's focused gaze and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How does it feel? Is there any difference between the view from the sky and the sea?"

"Hmm... it feels clearer now. Without the seawater surrounding me, I feel a little uneasy."

Skadi tilted her head slightly, answering Su Rui's question thoughtfully.

"They do look somewhat alike."

Su Rui nodded. "In that case, wouldn't fish also be considered a type of bird?"

Volume 6, Chapter 351: They were all sent flying.

Skadi wasn't very familiar with Su Rui's humor, but after hearing Su Rui's words, she nodded. "Fish and birds do look somewhat alike."

As Su Rui and Skadi chatted, the aircraft quickly carried them to the village of Kazimierz, their destination for this mission.

"This is it. Tsk tsk, is this all these bandits know how to threaten people? Even their interrogation methods are so unoriginal."

Su Rui showed the scanned image on the ground, showing a Kuranta girl with a golden ponytail being hung from a tree and bathed in the bright sunlight.

"Look at this person, they look like the sunny type. I'm usually too lazy to go out and sunbathe, but this person is practically dying of thirst and still wants to sunbathe."

"... She must have been tied up, didn't you know that, Su Rui?"

Skadi didn't quite understand Su Rui's humor from hell, and asked Su Rui in confusion, but Su Rui didn't seem inclined to answer. Instead, she landed the camouflage-mode aircraft a dozen meters above the ground and urged him:

"Alright, now that we've figured out she's been kidnapped, let's rescue her. She's the village chief of this Waterdrop Village. For the sake of the knight's treasure, we need to get rid of all those troublesome bandits!"

Then, Su Rui marked the landing point and descent motion in Skadi's vision. "Quick, use Hero Entrance and give them a good shock!"

Skadi didn't understand, but she thought Su Rui's plan was indeed quite good. So, amidst Su Rui's cheers, Skadi gripped her greatsword and jumped out of the aircraft's cockpit.

As she fell, feeling the wind pressure and the howling wind rushing past her ears, Skadi ignored the way her long hair was being blown around. She gripped her greatsword tightly and aimed it at the target marked by Su Rui.

It was an open space, but even so, with the force and impact of Skadi's landing, a huge roar rang out, and several mercenaries wrapped tightly in blankets were thrown away by the impact of Skadi's landing.

Skadi's landing was perfectly timed; just as she landed and sent the mercenaries flying, Su Rui's Scanning Vision spotted Grani running rapidly toward them.

Fortunately, Grani was some distance from Skadi's landing point, so the agile pony Donnie stopped and stared in disbelief at the billowing dust in the distance and the mercenaries "flying" past her.

With just one move, Skadi terrified the mercenaries, who scattered and fled. Skadi, too afraid to approach, gripped her longsword and looked at the horse girl hanging from a tree not far away.

'What should we do next?' Skadi asked Su Rui in her mind, having become familiar with how to communicate with Su Rui.

"Of course we should put her down first, lest this rainy day baby really get dried out of the sun."

As Su Rui spoke, she made a point of noting, "But remember not to let go of her yet, lest she slip away."

Skadi nodded and set the girl down amidst the somewhat awe-inspiring gaze of the horse girl.
