Exusiai continued along with Su Rui's words without refuting him. Instead, she found Su Rui's temper tantrum somewhat intriguing.

Then, Exusiai gave her teammates a thumbs up. "I think this coat looks great!"

No, you're just saying that because you heard Su Rui say that, right?

Even Sora and Croissant, after spending time together, roughly realized that Su Rui could communicate directly with Exusiai in their minds. Seeing Exusiai's initial disdain for the coat turn into her current fondness and even praise, they couldn't help but marvel at how quickly she could change her expression.

The Chernobog case was handled efficiently; they simply checked the car for any prohibited items and then let it go.

Of course, another reason might be that almost everything these girls from Penguin Logistics possessed was stored in Su Rui's System Space.

So there wasn't much to check inside the car, so the inspection was quick.

As they were leaving the city through the Vulpisfoglia, the security guards even kindly reminded these careless girls:

"Remember to prepare more supplies when you travel. You won't always be able to find a city on time like this time. What if you encounter some unexpected events on the road and don't have enough supplies?"

"Thank you, we'll be careful!"

Exusiai waved cheerfully at the friendly security officer, clearly not taking his words to heart.

Watching the vehicle leave, the security guard felt utterly exhausted. Most of these travelers would likely die in the wilderness during their trip due to insufficient supplies.

Oh well, I've already warned them... Of course, the security personnel wouldn't know that Exusiai and the others have something as cheating as Su Rui's System Space. If they did know, they probably wouldn't have warned them.

Along the way, the bustling scene in Chernobog surprised Vulpisfoglia and her companions. "I thought a city that had just ended a long time ago would be deserted."

"Actually, the war in Chernobog ended long ago. Most of the conflict took place in other cities and places, so Chernobog actually had more time to develop. However, you should still be careful."

Su Rui used her phone directly in Exusiai's pocket to make sounds and chat with the girls from Penguin Logistics.

After all, once we're in the city, there's nothing to worry about while we're still in the car. Even if we go outside, with people coming and going, even if someone notices us, they'll probably think we're hallucinating or that they didn't see us.

"Although Chernobog appears to be well-governed, I must admit that even with a completely transparent intelligence system, it's impossible to eradicate all the problems in a city. So you still need to be careful of pickpockets or robbers."

As Su Rui spoke, he sounded somewhat helpless. His Scanning Vision could indeed find all the people who might commit crimes, and he could arrest them or educate and reform them. As for the children, he could educate them for a period of time, raise them, and send them to school. Naturally, they would then have no reason to commit crimes.

However, there are always people who are unwilling to accept education or make a living through work. Su Rui actually has a very simple solution for these people: turn them into farmyard manure.

However, this plan encountered opposition from Patriot and FrostNova when it was being implemented.

They were actually unwilling to turn those criminals into fertilizer to make some contribution to society. FrostNova and Patriot the same reason: these people didn't deserve to die... Su Rui thought they were still too soft-hearted.

Soon, I drove to the Penguin Logistics hotel and prepared to get a good night's sleep according to my usual routine.

After they moved into their rooms and were about to go to sleep, they suddenly realized something.

They didn't seem sleepy. Exusiai tossed and turned on her soft bed in her room, then sat up somewhat irritably:

"Why am I not sleepy at all after playing games for so long?"

"Because I specifically modified Sankta's empathy."

Su Rui's voice rang out. "Actually, when you play games, your brain is already resting... I mean, when you're playing games using the Shared-Sensation Network I've built. At other times, whenever your brain is active, it means you need rest to make up for that active time, which is sleep."

"Is that so? Does that mean I can spend every night playing games before bed?"

Exusiai's eyes lit up. "This is amazing!"

"Are you sure? I won't stay by your side forever. Once you get used to it, you might not be able to sleep well, which could have a big impact on your health."

"Um... never mind, life needs moderation."

Exusiai stiffened for a moment, then nodded rather smugly. She then walked outside.

"Let's go, since we can't sleep, let's call the others out to pass the time together~"

Volume 3, Chapter 165: From now on, you are entirely mine.

With this in mind, Exusiai knocked on everyone's doors, and then, unsurprisingly, discovered that not only her, but everyone else was also awake.

Vulpisfoglia and Texas were both reading books, Kong was practicing his songs, Croissant... Croissant was planning to go out and buy some goods or set up a stall.

Exusiai moved closer to Vulpisfoglia, instinctively showing concern for the relationship between Vulpisfoglia and Su Rui, and... their child:

"Speaking of which, Vulpisfoglia Boss, what happens to Little Suzuran the Valley when you're out?"

"... When I'm not around, Suzuran is usually taken care of by Texas. If Texas isn't around, I'll entrust her to Officer Hoshiguma."

Vulpisfoglia glanced at Exusiai, put down the book she was holding, and then looked at Su Rui:

"Penguin Logistics has dealt with these officers from the Lungmen Guard Department quite a bit, so we actually have a pretty good relationship. Officer Hoshiguma is also a trustworthy person... Does Su Rui have any suggestions?"

As they spoke, Exusiai and Vulpisfoglia both focused their attention on their phones, awaiting Su Rui's reply:

"If Hoshiguma is also unavailable, then Chen can help out. She and Talulah are sisters. Although she's not the best-tempered, she's actually quite trustworthy."

As Su Rui spoke, she displayed some information on her phone, and after confirming that Exusiai and Vulpisfoglia had seen it, she quickly deleted it:

"Speaking of which, are you guys still going to keep playing games?"

Anyway, Su Rui can play games all day long, even for several days, without any problem.

Exusiai instinctively wanted to agree, but Vulpisfoglia smiled and shook her head:

"We've been sitting in the car all day, it's time to get out and rest. Shall we take a walk in the streets of Ursus? If we run into the target you mentioned... it'll be a good chance to relax."

"Generally speaking, shopping areas and chaotic places are not related... Well, you can't say that. There are indeed quite a few pickpockets in Chernobog now, but you can't really teach them a lesson. It's not fun."

Su Rui felt a little regretful. What he preferred was to knock someone away cleanly and efficiently, or to watch as the sharp blade and gunfire in his hand sliced, chopped, minced, or riddled with bullets.

If it's a thief, then the only thing to do is beat him up as a lesson, and Exusiai and the other girls probably wouldn't really beat up a thief in the street.

However, Exusiai and Vulpisfoglia just smiled at Su Rui's complaints. After all, it was just a little temper tantrum that would pass quickly, and there was no need to take it too seriously.

With this in mind, Exusiai and Vulpisfoglia looked at the girls who had arrived at Vulpisfoglia's room after Exusiai's notification.

"Boss, we were supposed to rest this morning, so please, please don't go out to work!"

Croissant to yawn at the door, looking sleepy, but everyone could tell she was just being silly.

"Don't worry, it's definitely not about making you go out to work. Breakfast is on me today!"

Su Rui's voice came through the phone, immediately eliciting Croissant's cheers. "Yay! But Su Rui, do you have money? So, it's not like Exusiai is actually Exusiai us, is it?"

As he spoke, Croissant couldn't help but wink at Exusiai: "I didn't expect it to be like this, Su Rui's treating, Exusiai paying the bill~ Clear division of labor, huh?"

"That's alright." Exusiai shrugged nonchalantly. What's wrong with spending a little money on the Holy Son?

Once the materialization process is complete, the Holy Son will belong entirely to her. What's there to feel sorry for?

With that thought in mind, Exusiai waved her hand and said, "Alright, then it's my treat today, let's go out for a big meal!"

"... What if I want to go to those really expensive restaurants?" Su Rui's voice drifted out from Exusiai's pocket.

"Uh... I just regret that I don't have enough money. If I don't have enough, I'll have to ask Boss Vulpisfoglia for a favor."

Exusiai's expression stiffened for a moment, then she looked at Vulpisfoglia with a pleading gaze.

"Of course, no problem. When you're traveling, you can't let Exusiai to wash dishes because she doesn't have enough money." Vulpisfoglia nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Su Rui spoke up, "Alright, I'm not interested in those so-called expensive things. Besides, even if we do go, I have a way to pay for it; I don't need to spend your money."

Su Rui could easily use her hacking skills to transfer money from an anonymous account. There's a lot of money like that online, with no clear source, but you can tell it's definitely not clean just by looking at the large amounts. What's wrong with spending a little of it?

Besides, even if we really run out of money, FrostNova and Patriot are still here. If all else fails, we can call those two over to help pay the bill... but that might just make things more complicated.

So Su Rui was just thinking about it. He would only consider this if the first two payment methods really became unusable. Hmph, his hacking skills would never fail, and no one would be able to detect anything amiss.

Then, Su Rui urged, "Alright, I'll pay for everything today. You just need to take out your phones or pay by card, and I'll pay you in another way. Now, stop standing there and get out of here!"

"Alright, let's go... It's fine if you want to go off on your own, we're just going out for a walk, there won't be any missions this morning."

Vulpisfoglia nodded, and casually mentioned that they could act alone. Then they set off together outside.

However, although Vulpisfoglia said that solo action was allowed, and Su Rui also said that even if they acted alone, there would be ways to communicate and help with payments, no one chose to leave the group and act alone.

Perhaps it's because I'm unfamiliar with the city, and even traveling alone wouldn't be very fun?

Su Rui didn't think too much about it; she was simply looking around Chernobog with Exusiai.

When he was halfway there, Exusiai suddenly spoke to him in his mind.

' Su Rui ~ Can we talk about something?'

"You can say whatever it is." Su Rui paused for a moment, then, in Exusiai's mind, she answered directly, "Just say what it is."

"Okay, I'll say it then~ It's about yesterday, not today... Anyway, it's that game we played before, I want to play it again, can we switch body control now?"

"Don't you want to go shopping?"

I prefer parties and playing video games to shopping!

Exusiai pleaded in her mind, drawing out the last syllable, "Please, Su Rui ~"

"Okay, I happen to have something I want to eat." Su Rui naturally had no objections, and directly swapped control of the body with Exusiai, and opened the game for her.

Volume 3, Chapter 166: A Minor Accident

The moment Su Rui and Exusiai switched bodies, they were recognized by the woman next to them.

Having regained control of Exusiai's body, before Su Rui could say anything, Vulpisfoglia, standing beside him, smiled and asked:

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to eat?"

"... How did you recognize me so easily?"

Su Rui looked at Vulpisfoglia with some confusion, then at the others. "Was I being too obvious?"

Although it's not immediately apparent from her actions, her gentle and approachable aura makes it impossible to mistake her for someone else.

Moreover, the moment Su Rui makes a move, his habits clearly show that he is not the real Su Rui.

Croissant and Sora both smiled without saying a word, and there was no way to expect Texas to answer his question. Su Rui rolled her eyes in exasperation, then walked up to a stall. "I want this kebab... do you want some?"

"Of course, everyone should have a few skewers. There will be other delicious food later."

Vulpisfoglia came to Su Rui's side, took out her wallet from her pocket and was about to pay when Su Rui reached out and stopped her:

"Didn't we agree that I would pay?"

"You can pay for others, but I'll pay for yours."

With a smile, Vulpisfoglia grasped Su Rui's hand, handed over the money, and then whispered in his ear:

"Since you're going shopping with me, of course I should pay. As for the others, that's fine too. Do you think I'm short of money?"

"You really are..." Su Rui originally wanted to say it was strange, but he could also sense that Vulpisfoglia's purpose was for him. Considering the relationship between the two, Su Rui really couldn't bear to say that Vulpisfoglia was strange.

So, Su Rui took the skewer the owner handed her, took a bite, and pretended to be focused on enjoying the food without saying anything more.

Texas simply watched Su Rui's movements silently, and walked beside Su Rui, one on each side, in perfect harmony with Vulpisfoglia.

On the other hand, Croissant and Sora were somewhat excluded, but they didn't seem to care. What was there to complain about when someone was paying for their food? They were already feeling a bit bored in their room anyway, so going out to watch other people's love stories seemed like a good idea.

Croissant and Sora exchanged a glance, both revealing mysterious smiles, and then followed behind Vulpisfoglia and Texas, watching the two of them interact with Su Rui.

However, the change in Su Rui's demeanor was so obvious that it affected more than just the women at Penguin Logistics.

The passersby naturally saw it too, but most of them just watched silently, and very few actually came over to cause trouble.

However, in such a large city with such a bustling commercial street, it's inevitable that there will be a mix of people, and some hooligans will still be active here.

With her striking appeal and exceptional presence in the crowd Su Rui was easily spotted.

Moreover, this team is all girls, and at first glance they seem quite harmless.

Therefore, even though Su Rui was protected by Vulpisfoglia and Texas on either side, there were still people blocking their way.

However, the one blocking their way was also a woman. This leader of the Ursus gang was accompanied by several henchmen. After blocking Vulpisfoglia and the others' path, she stared intently at Su Rui, who was being protected in the middle and focused on eating the kebabs in her hand, and reached out to touch his face.

"The little girl is so cute! Are you here in Chernobog for tourism?"

Su Rui didn't even bother to acknowledge her, just glanced at her before continuing to eat her skewers.

After all, she's using Exusiai's body now, and Su Rui can't exactly tell everyone that she's a boy. Although Exusiai's figure isn't particularly outstanding, it's actually quite well-endowed, so it's easy to tell at a glance that this body is female.

Seeing that Su Rui ignored her, the boss across from her exclaimed, "Oh ho!" "Didn't expect her to have such a temper. I like this kind of spicy food."

As she spoke, she reached out again, but just like the first time, Vulpisfoglia slapped her hand away.

Texas group carried all their weapons with them, Su Rui returned to them after they went through security, so they weren't afraid to fight even if a fight broke out.

Besides, these thugs could actually be dealt with with fists.
