Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form?
"Huh? I don't know, and Su Rui didn't tell me either."
Exusiai tilted her head in confusion.
... It seems this value is indeed a bit too high. When I met Vulpisfoglia, it was zero percent. Even if Talulah hopes that I can be happy every time I possess someone, this level of affection is too high.
As Su Rui was thinking this, she heard Exusiai let out a mournful cry, "Huh? What happened? The System Materialization Progress has dropped to 25%?"
"Can you please be quiet? You're being too loud." After experiencing two simulated possessions, Su Rui realized that the so-called progress in materialization was actually his affection. Hearing Exusiai proclaim it so loudly, he suddenly felt a little shy.
Then Exusiai let out another mournful cry, "How did it decrease again? Now it's only 18%!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that now. I'll arrange your accommodation and your work."
Vulpisfoglia smiled and quickly reached out to pat Exusiai the shoulder, hoping she wouldn't do anything that would ruin Su Rui's impression of her.
Having spent so much time with Su Rui, this was the first time Vulpisfoglia had ever known that the materialization progress could actually decrease.
"Oh, Miss Vulpisfoglia, did I do something wrong?"
Exusiai nodded while looking at Vulpisfoglia with teary eyes, wondering if it was her fault that caused the slowdown in the materialization process.
"Alright, don't ask any more questions, come with me."
Vulpisfoglia shook her head and looked at Exusiai: "How about we let Su Rui explain it to us? He should already understand these arrangements."
"Hey? But... Vulpisfoglia can't hear Su Rui's voice, can she?"
Exusiai was somewhat concerned about the Vulpisfoglia in front of her, and then she heard Su Rui's voice from her phone:
"Of course she heard me. Didn't you hear anything I said before? I can control electronic devices, any electronic device."
"Oh, I see. My understanding wasn't quite there yet."
Exusiai nodded with a sheepish grin, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"... Alright, you'll stay on the third floor from now on. That's the staff dormitory. Just pick an empty room and put your luggage down. This is a special perk only for Vulpisfoglia and a few other Penguin Logistics employees in Texas. Everyone else has to find their own place to live outside."
As Su Rui spoke, she activated her Scanning Vision within Exusiai's field of vision, showing her the route she should take.
"Wow, I'm living on the third floor with Miss Vulpisfoglia and the others? That's amazing!"
Exusiai nodded, picked up her luggage, and went down to the third floor with Vulpisfoglia. She put down her luggage and began to tidy up her belongings and bedroom.
Meanwhile, Su Rui communicated with Vulpisfoglia through the phone's speaker:
"Speaking of which, Penguin Logistics has so many floors, how come only the first few floors are actually used? The upper floors are almost just decorative displays and haven't been utilized at all?"
"At the time, I just wanted to buy this building, I didn't think about how to use it... But hey, the top floor is reserved for your office and game room. After finishing her homework, Suzuran sometimes goes there to play, although I usually make her practice a bit first."
Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but smile and asked, "How have you been lately?"
"It's alright, I'm doing pretty well. Except for not being able to drive a truly tall car, I'm quite happy."
Su Rui nodded, then said somewhat boastfully:
"You saw the news about the change of emperor in the Ursus Empire, right? That's my handiwork~"
"Yes, I think so too."
Vulpisfoglia smiled and nodded, holding her phone in her hand. It was a pity that Su Rui wasn't in front of her, otherwise she really wanted to hug Su Rui and then bully her a bit.
Although she was happy that Su Rui was happy, Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased that Suri was talking about achievements she had made with other women in front of her.
Forget it, once Su Rui's materialization progress is complete, Exusiai won't run away anyway. I'll find a way to teach this smug husband a lesson then.
As Vulpisfoglia pondered how to interact with Su Rui after she materialized, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Then, she thought of a question:
"By the way, what race did you simulate last time? Did your body change?"
"Aside from racial characteristics, my height, weight, and facial features haven't changed at all. Oh, right, in the last simulation I was Drak."
Su Rui, without any suspicion, told Vulpisfoglia about it directly, "By the way, this is your first simulation, Talulah's is the second, and Exusiai's is the third."
"Hmm." Vulpisfoglia nodded with a smile, a pleasant smile on her lips brought by Su Rui's honesty.
However, her concerns were also confirmed. "Since your materialized race is determined by the host, how can we convince Suzuran that you are her father?"
"... I don't think it's anything for you. After all, apart from the racial characteristics, I'm exactly the same. If all else fails, just say that I thought the tail was too cumbersome, so I cut it off and replaced it with the Sankta aura and wings."
"Alright, let's stop joking around now. We need to consider Suzuran's feelings. She's growing up, and sometimes she'll have disagreements with me."
While Vulpisfoglia couldn't help but laugh at Su Rui's strange remarks, she was still worried about this issue.
Volume 3, Chapter 150: Remember not to shoot the hostages.
Su Rui wasn't too worried about this issue, and comforted Vulpisfoglia, saying:
"Don't worry, I believe Suzuran can figure it out. After all, she's my daughter, and... well,"
"And what?" Vulpisfoglia put her hands on her hips, looking somewhat helpless. It was clear that Su Rui couldn't think of any new lines.
"And I believe in my daughter..."
"Alright, Su Rui, no need to say anything more. I believe our daughter will recognize you."
Vulpisfoglia covered her cheeks in exasperation, suddenly realizing how foolish she had been to worry about this issue before.
Su Rui is still the same as ever, easily fooled and somewhat naive, even childish.
When facing familiar people, he really has no guard up at all, and was even fooled by Suzuran when they were children several times.
After just a few words with Su Rui, seeing the exact same height and appearance, and the same silly, somewhat gullible yet attractive Su Rui, Suzuran would definitely recognize Su Rui.
"Is that so? I knew it! Our daughter is very smart!"
Su Rui looked smug, Vulpisfoglia thought that if he were in front of her, he would definitely put his hands on his hips.
But it's not because your daughter is smart, it's just that you're too obvious.
Vulpisfoglia shook her head, then heard Su Rui's words:
"By the way, Exusiai's luggage is all packed. Shall I find her a job?"
"It's almost noon now, and all the better jobs have already been taken."
Vulpisfoglia glanced at her phone and voiced her thoughts. "How about we wait until Texas gets back?"
"No need, I've already found a suitable client."
As Su Rui spoke, she showed Vulpisfoglia's phone a commission, a commission to deliver a package to the Lungmen Slums.
"... This isn't a legitimate request, is it? Since you chose it, there's bound to be a trap inside."
"Yes, but don't worry, Exusiai and I can handle it, and Exusiai has a submachine gun! That's awesome!"
"Isn't that called a gun?" Vulpisfoglia paused for a moment.
"Oh, that's not important. Anyway, I like this. I'm going to call Exusiai. We'll talk later."
With that, Su Rui left Vulpisfoglia's phone, leaving Vulpisfoglia shaking her head in annoyance:
'Wait until you materialize, then I'll teach you a lesson.'
However, this time Su Rui's host was not her, so she couldn't hear what Vulpisfoglia said in her heart.
Meanwhile, Exusiai, after tidying up her belongings and taking out her gun for maintenance, heard Su Rui's voice in her mind:
"Hey kid, stop busy, come with me and burn this city to ashes!"
"Ah? But wouldn't that be too much... Are you trying to wash away the sins of this city? What should I do?"
Exusiai hesitated at first, then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she raised the gun in her hand with a fanatical expression.
"In the name of the Holy Son, I will certainly do what you command!"
"Uh, no, I was just using that phrase to greet you."
Su Rui was somewhat helpless; Exusiai's reaction made it difficult for him to joke around.
Then, Su Rui showed the newly acquired request to Exusiai:
"Actually, I've given you a task as your first training session in Lungmen. It shouldn't be too difficult, and with your and my teamwork, it'll be perfect."
Sankta's shooting talent is exceptional; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they hit the bullseye every time, especially Exusiai.
Combined with Su Rui's Scanning Vision and intelligence capabilities—a full map cheat plus a headshot cheat—there shouldn't be any reason for her to fail in wiping out a small gang, right?
With this in mind, Su Rui immediately shrunk the mission request and set it aside, beginning to explain it to Exusiai:
"Actually, this commission is impossible to complete because that gang wants to double-cross us."
As Su Rui spoke, she displayed the intelligence gathered from her Scanning Vision:
"This is a holographic map of that gang's hideout, along with their real-time personnel distribution. And most importantly, these are the hostages."
As Su Rui spoke, she marked a hidden room on the third floor of the small building and highlighted the person inside:
"By the way, I marked the information so you wouldn't shoot her. Don't end up like Fuze and just hammer the hostage."
"No problem, you Exusiai patted her chest confidently, then asked with some doubt:
"But isn't this the Lungmen Guard Department's job? Why don't we just call the police?"
"Because that wouldn't be fun, and besides, I have a line to teach you."
As Su Rui spoke, she projected a string of subtitles into Exusiai's eyes and gave her instructions:
"Don't say it now. You can say it when we've completed this mission. Oh, and remember, I'll call the Lungmen Guard Department to warn them before we start the operation, so we can control the timing."
If things go as expected, the Lungmen Guard Department personnel will arrive by the time you've dealt with everyone.
"But... Miss Vulpisfoglia told me to use rubber bullets, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Exusiai somewhat puzzled, but Su Rui didn't seem to care. "Rubber bullets are only mandatory in urban areas, and even if you use rubber bullets, they still have power."
With his command and Exusiai's cooperation, the rubber bullets hitting the body only resulted in a punch, but if the opponent's movement trajectory is known, with Exusiai's abilities, it's not surprising that every shot could "accidentally" hit a spot like the temple or eye, right?
"Moreover, there are actually many examples of Penguin Logistics being embroiled in chaos. Even Vulpisfoglia herself was arrested, but was released on the same day."
As Su Rui spoke, she casually showed Exusiai some examples of Penguin Logistics.
After all, since Exusiai Sankta's identity wouldn't allow her to take the civil service exam in Lungmen, she naturally wouldn't need to worry about a criminal record.
"Wow, is it like a family in Syracuse? I heard that people there use imprisonment as a coming-of-age ceremony?!"
Exusiai n't help but exclaim with sparkling eyes.
"Only members of the Syracuse Families are like this; ordinary people are all the same, they just want an ordinary life."
As Su Rui spoke, she urged Exusiai:
"Let's go, let's get going. I'll call you and give you some vision when we're almost there. Remember not to mistake the hostage markers for Death's Eye and shoot them... Never mind, I'll remove the hostage markers first, then you can shoot at the spots I marked."
"No problem!"
Volume 3, Chapter 151: The Cycad is in Bloom?
Today was Chen Huijie's usual workday. She confirmed that her sister was safe, that she had become the emperor of Ursus, and that she had a cute young man as her "empress."
Moreover, her mother is still alive and well, and through some means provided by Su Rui, she got rid of her annoying father.
Therefore, Chen's personality is a bit more outgoing than she used to be... but not by much.
For example, today, Chen's cell phone was suddenly answered.
There was no caller ID, and the call connected immediately—these familiar features surprised Chen, who quickly got up from behind his desk.
"I have something to take care of, you guys go ahead with your work."
With that, Chen hurriedly left the office, seemingly to find a quiet place at the stairwell to make a phone call.
Swire was sitting in the office with Chen, glared at Chen's retreating figure and muttered to herself:
"What's this Rice Noodle Dragon doing? Does it have to be in such a hurry to answer a phone call?"
"Do you think we should sneak over and eavesdrop?" Swire's eyes darted around as she urged Hoshiguma beside her.
"Maybe we shouldn't? Missy, eavesdropping isn't a good thing."
"I'm just worried about that Rice Noodle Dragon... Oh well, I'll ask her when she gets back."
Dissuaded by Hoshiguma, Swire pouted in dissatisfaction and continued working on the documents in front of her.
