Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Body?
"You were the one who didn't get up in the first place, so why are you talking like I'm the one with the problem?"
Seeing that the Eunectes had given in, Su Rui didn't say anything more. She released the tail that was wrapped around the Eunectes's neck, and then sat up with the Eunectes to tidy themselves up and put on their clothes.
While straightening her clothes, the Eunectes asked, "What's the purpose of Gavial and the others coming here? Is it to get the engine back?"
Over time, the Eunectes had developed a habit of asking Su Rui for advice whenever it encountered a problem. After all, Su Rui could know a lot of detailed information in advance, so it was better to ask than not.
"Hmm, of course they're trying to retrieve the aircraft's engine. Of course, Gavial herself also intends to question you about why you ordered your men down into the mines; she's worried about Oripathy infection."
"Okay, I understand."
The Eunectes thought for a moment, then picked up its axe and shield, looking at Su Rui was still sitting on the bed yawning. "Aren't you coming with me?"
"Why should I go with you? You can solve this problem by yourself."
Suri waved to the anaconda, yawned, then lay back down on the bed and used her tail to roll up the blanket and cover herself.
"..." The Eunectes silently approached Su Rui, lifted her up, and hoisted Su Rui onto her shoulder. "Get up."
I've already woken her up, do you think you can just go back to sleep? No way, I have to go with her to run errands.
"I did this so you wouldn't miss the meeting. Don't repay kindness with enmity; I still need to keep my eyes peeled."
Although Su Rui said that, she simply lay on the Eunectes's shoulder without moving or resisting.
Soon, the Doctor and his team arrived outside the Eunectes tribe and were stopped by the tribe's warriors. After detecting them, Su Rui's Scanning Vision issued an alarm to Su Rui according to the settings Su Rui had provided.
Finally fully awake, Su Rui opened her eyes and jumped off the Eunectes's shoulder.
"Looks like they're coming in?" The Eunectes glanced at the awakened Su Rui, then focused its gaze on Gavial, who barged in through the main entrance, followed by Huang, Ceobe, Yan, Croissant, and Flint, who was following them for some unknown Flint.
Upon seeing Su Rui, the Doctor raised his hand to greet him, clearly having anticipated Su Rui's presence based on the series of events that had transpired.
"Long time no see, it must have been a long time, right? I don't know how time passes where you are, but I haven't seen you for quite some time."
Su Rui greeted the Doctor, then looked at the Eunectes, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered in her ear:
"Gavial was wrong about the mine infection. She'll admit her mistake and apologize once things are explained. But you two are definitely going to have a fight, so figure it out yourselves."
"What good ideas do you have? The Big Ugly is invincible." The Eunectes glanced at Su Rui with a puzzled look, nodded, and then focused its gaze on Gavial: "What do you want from me?"
Just as the Eunectes and Gavial were talking, Su Rui woke up the Big Ugly creature and called it over.
During her time with Big Ugly, Su Rui made some discoveries: these Sargon, or rather, the inhabitants of the rainforest, might indeed possess some kind of special energy field.
During their time together, Big Ugly really developed its own thoughts, although they were just simple thoughts. Su Rui did notice them and even chatted with it for a bit.
Just as the Eunectes and Gavial were talking, Su Rui heard Big Ugly's voice again:
"New engine, such powerful energy! I'm a bit hot, I need to stretch my legs."
"Hmm, so what are your plans for the day?"
A smile involuntarily crept onto Su Rui's lips. She had warned the Eunectes long ago not to change the engine of the mecha casually, and now Big Ugly Su Rui wouldn't stop Da Chou from doing whatever he wanted.
"Could I... fight them? Can you please not stop me?"
Clearly, Big Ugly also realized that Su Rui's ability in electronic operation was absolutely dominant, so the newborn child did not try to compete with Su Rui, but instead sought his consent.
"Of course, no problem." Su Rui smiled. "Just be careful with your strength. Just make sure you can beat them up, and try not to inflict any serious injuries on them, understand?"
Volume 8, Chapter 472: The Out-of-Control Big Ugly
"Okay, in that case, it's settled."
Big Ugly nodded, agreeing to Su Rui's conditions. He then gently raised his hand, grabbed Su Rui 'Su Rui waist, and placed her a little further away from the battlefield before walking back towards the Eunectes.
"Although I forgive you, the matter of trespassing into the camp cannot be left unresolved." At this moment, the Eunectes drew its axe and shield, intending to fight Gavial and the others again.
However, Gavial on the other side noticed the Big Ugly walking straight towards the Eunectes and asked with some confusion:
"Is your mech okay? I have a feeling it's about to attack you. Something's not right."
"How could that be? Su Rui wouldn't do such a thing."
The Eunectes, who trusted Su Rui implicitly, sneered, then turned to look at Big Ugly, intending to show off, when it saw Big Ugly raise his hand as if to attack.
Although she didn't know what had happened, the Eunectes's warrior instincts made her subconsciously raise her shield, and then the Eunectes was sent flying by the Big Ugly with a "bang".
The Big Ugly, enhanced by Su Rui, is much stronger than the original Big Ugly. It boasts excellent mobility and armor performance. Although the power of its Chest Cannon has not been enhanced, it is still not an easy opponent to deal with.
However, it must be said that Big Ugly had just developed a consciousness, so he didn't have much experience in combat. Therefore, his movements were too simple and predictable. It felt like he wouldn't have been able to hit the Eunectes Eunectes it hadn't been caught off guard and unprepared.
Protected by the shield, the Eunectes, though knocked away, did not faint. Instead, after falling, it asked Su Rui in confusion:
'When did I make you angry? Even if I woke you up earlier, you don't need to be so angry, do you? I'll apologize, okay?'
The Eunectes's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved; she clearly thought Su Rui was behind it all.
Su Rui quickly reassured her, "Don't be nervous, I'm not angry, and I'm not the one operating Big Ugly right now."
"What's going on?" The Eunectes stood up, carrying its shield and axe, and looked at the Big Ugly who was already attacking Gavial and Huang. Learning from the Eunectes's experience, Gavial did not try to use their shields to block the Big Ugly's attacks, but instead dodged the Big Ugly's punches.
"Because you did indeed give Big Ugly its own thoughts. Although I don't quite understand how it happened, Big Ugly now definitely has the ability to think, and the engine you got from the aircraft has made it a bit restless, wanting to fight to vent its frustration."
'So what should we do? How do we stop it?'
"Of course, we'll use a beating to shut it down. It can be repaired later anyway. Oh, and be careful not to damage the aircraft's engines, otherwise you'll have to spend time fixing them later."
The Eunectes nodded, raised its shield, and charged towards the Big Ugly, while also reminding the Doctor and Gavial:
"Don't attack the engine on Big Ugly's back, or you won't be able to fly back!"
"What's going on? Isn't this your mecha?" Huang asked, dodging Big Ugly's punches while retaliating with his chainsaw.
"How would I know? Su Rui said Big Ugly has a brain!"
The Eunectes answered Huang's question irritably, rushed forward to dodge Big Ugly's fist, and then slid in and chopped Big Ugly's leg joint with its axe.
Although the design and installation of the Big Ugly were carried out under Su Rui's guidance, the Eunectes had at least participated in the installation work, so it naturally knew where the vulnerabilities were, of course, only relatively vulnerable.
The Eunectes didn't think her axe could easily cut through Big Ugly's armor; it was something she and Su Rui had put a lot of effort into making, and its sturdiness was extraordinary.
"It doesn't matter, just take it down."
Flint was quite direct, not caring much about the details, and tried to use his fists to remove Big Ugly's armor.
Although Flint's punches weren't very effective, she was quick and attracted Big Ugly's attention, dodging several of her punches. Big Ugly even ignored the other attacks and started punching Flint alone.
Because of the agreement with Su Rui, Su Rui disabled all of Big Ugly's weapons, and only gave it the authority to fire one shell from the Chest Cannon, which Big Ugly has not used yet.
It can be said that the only device that can be used freely in the machine right now is the speaker that Su Rui arranged for it.
So, after realizing that although he wasn't seriously injured while fighting multiple opponents, it was still quite strenuous, Big Ugly decided to boost his morale.
So it turned on the speaker and played the music that Su Rui had played before.
At the same time, the chest Chest Cannon began to charge up, preparing to attack a high-threat target.
Su Rui watched with some curiosity as Big Ugly's thought process sequence selected its targets.
While Flint might miss, its attack power is low. Gavial looks formidable, but the damage from his staff and fists isn't that outrageous. The Eunectes's axe has a weak point attack that's worth noting. However, Big Ugly seems worried about angering Su Rui, so he marks Su Rui and the Eunectes together and draws a heart shape, thus eliminating the Eunectes.
So, the only remaining target for the Big Ugly is Huang, who wields a chainsaw, is exudes high temperatures, and is adept at cutting through steel and bunkers.
After all, Su Rui had promised Big Ugly not to interfere with its fight with others, and had also restricted almost all of its weapons. Su Rui felt a little guilty about blatantly cheating for Rhodes Island.
So Su Rui decided to come quietly and send a message to the Doctor's terminal.
The Doctor glanced at her phone; it only showed a few simple words, but she already understood what Su Rui meant. She shouted in Huang's direction:
"Watch out, it looks like it's about to fire!"
Huang was startled by the Doctor's reminder; with her agility and speed, it seemed too late for her to dodge the Big Ugly cannonball.
But Huang had other options. She accelerated her chainsaw again, activated her Originium Memory, and with the release of high temperature and steam, Huang's chainsaw slashed fiercely at Big Ugly.
The cannonball fired from Big Ugly's chest exploded in mid-air under Huang's attack, engulfing both Huang and Big Ugly.
The impact sent Huang flying and rolling several times, while Big Ugly also staggered backward a few steps.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gavial and the Eunectes charged at the Big Ugly again, attacking its joints together.
Under the guidance of the Eunectes, they finally managed to break one of the Big Ugly's leg joints.
Volume 8, Chapter 473: You Can't Leave
While the Eunectes were vigorously attacking the frolicking Big Ugly, Su Rui leisurely approached the Doctor and started chatting with her:
How was the trip?
"... Aside from being a bit unexpected, everything was pretty good." The Doctor somewhat helplessly, "I never imagined we'd be shot down by a rocket, especially in a technologically backward place like the rainforest."
"Hmm, while Terra has a lot of problems in terms of overall technology and politics, its diversity is truly commendable; you can probably find almost anything you're looking for here."
Su Rui shrugged, took out some snacks from her System Space, and shared them with the Doctor next to her. "Shall we eat something first?"
"Speaking of which, aren't you going to stop him? Theoretically, Big Ugly should listen to you, right?"
The Doctor took the snacks from Su Rui's hand, thought for a moment, and figured out the reason without Su Rui saying anything:
"Did you deliberately send Big Ugly to fight?"
"Don't say that, I was just going along with Big Ugly's own ideas." Su Rui frowned in displeasure and gently nudged the Doctor with her shoulder.
"I don't know what happened, but under these guys' care, Big Ugly has actually developed a certain degree of thinking ability. Now his only thought is to find them and fight them."
"Aren't you afraid something might happen?"
"With me here, nothing will happen. Weapons are all prohibited. The only one I authorized, the Chest Cannon, was just used up, and it even injured Big Ugly himself."
As Su Rui spoke, she found a seat next to the Doctor and sat down:
"Speaking of which, did you really come here just for a vacation?"
"Of course, I do have holidays too, although I always encounter troublesome things during my holidays."
The Doctor sat down next to Su Rui, watching the battle unfold before him, took a bite of bread, and then drank some juice to soothe his throat.
"However, I didn't expect this to end so easily. I don't have to do anything, and now I can even watch a relaxing movie here."
While Su Rui was chatting with the Doctor, the battle on the other side had also come to an end. Even though Su Rui had strengthened the Big Ugly many times, it was ultimately just an alloy made from some parts and bearings that had been stored in the rainforest for a long time, as well as simple forging and smelting processes.
The strength wasn't particularly high, especially since the current Big Ugly was restricted from using weapons by Su Rui and could only use his fists. Under the siege of Gavial and the Eunectes, he gradually showed signs of weakness, and his outer armor was slowly being dismantled.
However, when Eunectes saw Big Ugly about to fall, she couldn't bring herself to do it. This was a mecha that she and Su Rui had painstakingly put together, and it would be such a waste to ruin it like this.
So halfway through the fight, the Eunectes even asked Su Rui for help, "Could you stop Big Ugly? We've almost finished fighting him?"
'That depends on whether Big Ugly is willing to stop. I'm not involved right now, but I promise that once we get back to Rhodes Island, we can use the technology and materials there to create an even better Big Ugly.'
"Alright." Su Rui's assurance reassured the Eunectes, and its gaze became much firmer. Holding its shield, it charged forward, forcefully knocking away the Big Ugly's arm. While blocking the Big Ugly's fist for Gavial, it swung its axe, slashing a notch in the bearing at the Big Ugly's joint, and then directly pulled the bearing out.
The Big Ugly had essentially had one of his knees removed, staggered but didn't fall immediately. Instead, he maintained his balance on one leg and tried to continue his attack.
However, the others around the Eunectes were not to be trifled with either. Seeing that the Big Ugly had not yet fallen, Huang and Gavial stepped forward and kicked the Big Ugly's leg, which was still maintaining its balance, knocking the Gundam machine to the ground.
With the deafening roar of the massive machine crashing to the ground, the farce temporarily came to an end.
The Eunectes looked at the Big Ugly with some regret, but didn't say anything more. It simply turned its head slightly to look at Gavial with a hint of reluctance.
"You've defeated the Big Ugly... In short, Gavial, you are now the new chieftain of the rainforest."
The Crocodile People were not saddened by the change of their chieftain; instead, they cheered for the birth of a new leader.
After all, in this simple and brutal world where might makes right, everyone prefers to be straightforward and happy.
Gavial didn't refuse, but scratched his head in slight distress:
"I'm fine, but I have other things to do later, and I don't plan to leave Rhodes Island right now."
Gavial scratched her hair in annoyance, looked around, and then saw her loyal little follower, the chubby little crocodile Tomimi with long gray-green hair and a fat tail.
Gavial's eyes lit up. "I've got it! Tomimi is a tribal chief, isn't she? And Tomimi seems quite good at management. I'll give this position to you."
"Really?" Tomimi looked at Gavial in disbelief. "So I'm the Great Chieftain now? And Gavial is leaving?"
Gavial nodded, oblivious to the situation, not noticing Tomimi's somewhat conflicted expression. Instead, he said nonchalantly, "That's right, but Tomimi, you don't need to worry too much. It's not like we'll never see each other again. I'll come back to see you often!"
As he spoke, Gavial walked over to Su Rui, greeted him, and prepared to leave.
Su Rui sat down next to the Doctor and placed her hand on her shoulder:
"Don't rush to get up, we can't leave yet."
