Ark Simulator: Didn't I Have No Physical Form?

As they were leaving, Patriot urged them, "You'd better not stay in Chernobog too long, or FrostNova will come looking for you."

Although these words were addressed to Su Rui, they were actually meant for Vulpisfoglia and the others.

After all, Su Rui might not care much about this matter, but the women around him certainly do.

Sure enough, after Patriot speaking, Vulpisfoglia nodded and looked at him with a grateful expression. "I understand, we'll leave soon."

"Hmm." Patriot, said goodbye to Su Rui, and then left.

Even as she said Patriot, Exusiai n't contain her excitement, exclaiming inwardly, "Wow, Su Rui, you actually know such a cool person! That's amazing! Is there anything more amazing?"

"That's all for now... Should we leave immediately, or stay a little longer?"

As Su Rui spoke, she turned to look at Vulpisfoglia, seeking her opinion.

"Of course we left immediately; there's no point in staying here any longer."

Vulpisfoglia nodded. She understood what Patriot meant. There was a woman named FrostNova in this city who had a close relationship with Su Rui, so Vulpisfoglia didn't intend to linger here and give others a chance.

Texas and the two of them stood on either side of Su Rui, then pulled him along quickly towards the hotel.

"Hey? No need to be in such a hurry, I didn't say I wouldn't go~"

Su Rui instinctively struggled for a moment, and after realizing it was futile, she muttered somewhat disgruntled in Texas and Vulpisfoglia's ears:

"It's only because I don't want to argue with you now that I'm here; otherwise, I could easily break free."

"Yes, yes, you're right, let's go back quickly." Vulpisfoglia smiled in response to Su Rui's slight dissatisfaction, and then they went back together.

With the Su Rui System Space, packing was quick. Less than ten minutes after returning to the hotel, Vulpisfoglia and the others were ready to leave and drive off into the wilderness again.

When FrostNova arrived at the hotel after receiving the message, she was told by the receptionist that Su Rui had already left with the Penguin Logistics people.

"... Should we go after them?" The Kingbreaker asked abruptly, noticing FrostNova's somewhat troubled expression.

"Hmm? No, no need. We'll meet again sometime." It's just that the meeting might not be pleasant... I'll remember this grudge of avoiding me, and I'll "punish" you severely next time we meet, Su Rui.

With that thought in mind, FrostNova waved her hand. "Let's go back, we have other things to do. Oh, right, I'll go check on the Shieldguards's camp first, you guys go ahead and get busy."

"I understand." The Kingbreaker nodded, then watched FrostNova's departing figure.

Her team members exchanged knowing glances, both of them aware of what was about to happen.

After all, the father-daughter relationship between FrostNova and Captain Patriot has always been a topic of conversation among the Reunion Movement members of Chernobog.

Before Su Rui was around, the two got along quite normally. After Su Rui left, FrostNova and Patriot still communicated normally, but without Su Rui mediating between them, the father and daughter inevitably argued frequently.

However, most of the time people just watch for fun, since the debate between FrostNova and Patriot is only about some minor details.

Both of them are very aware of the bigger picture and will not let their conflicts affect Chernobog and the Reunion Movement.

Just as FrostNova went to question her father about why he let Su Rui go, Su Rui and the others had already returned to the wilderness.

Volume 3, Chapter 172: The Imperial Palace, ciallo~

With Su Rui's Sankta Empathy Network playing games together, the time spent in the wilderness didn't feel difficult. After a few days and nights, and eliminating several waves of bandits encountered along the way, Exusiai and her companions quickly arrived at the capital of Ursus.

That is, the location of Talulah.

By now, Su Rui had almost forgotten why she came here in the first place.

It wasn't until he looked up at his own annotation that he remembered that Wei Yenwu had entrusted them to deliver a package to his niece, the current Emperor of Ursus Talulah.

This shameless old man even demanded that Penguin Logistics confirm that Talulah personally received the package and saw its contents.

Under normal circumstances, practically no one could do that, right? Especially since Talulah is now the Empress of Ursus; how easy is it to meet her?

Su Rui was also curious, so he asked Vulpisfoglia directly, "So, if I weren't there, how do you plan to get into the palace? You can't really sneak in, can you?"

After all, Wei Yenwu himself said, "Isn't Penguin Logistics known for fulfilling such outrageous requests?"

Su Rui was very curious about how Vulpisfoglia planned to accomplish this task without her assistance.

"If it weren't for Su Rui... I would have refused the commission, so the mission wouldn't have failed. As long as I didn't accept it, it wouldn't have failed."

Vulpisfoglia smiled slyly, "Penguin Logistics won't blindly accept requests that are too outrageous or beyond our capabilities. Understanding our own abilities is the reason we've been able to continue operating."

So, it's really just about doing what's within our capabilities... That doesn't seem quite right, at least Penguin Logistics is already quite impressive.

Security is indeed stricter in the capital than in Chernobog, but not so strict about weapons.

After all, traveling in the wilderness always involves dealing with all sorts of dangers. Even in the harsh Ursus, even in the past, people were never prevented from entering the city just because they were carrying weapons.

The only difference is that Chernobog seems to only require weapons to be properly stored, while this capital city requires weapons to be temporarily handed over to the local security department for safekeeping, and can only be taken away when leaving.

Fortunately, Penguin Logistics ' weapons were all stored in Su Rui's System Space, so the girls didn't encounter any difficulties at all.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that although Talulah's Chernobog City, their work is actually more efficient.

The inspection was completed quickly, and unlike when they first Chernobog, there was no farce like when they forgot to wear warm clothes. Exusiai and the others arrived in the city soon.

After arriving at the hotel, booking their rooms, and settling their luggage, the girls gathered in Vulpisfoglia's room to await further instructions.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to all go in, so we'll have to Su Rui and Exusiai to do this."

As she spoke, Vulpisfoglia turned her gaze to Exusiai: "Su Rui should have a way to get into the palace and see Talulah, right?"

"Yes, there is. Just hand the package to me, and I'll control Exusiai's body to go inside. Since you can recognize me, there's no reason why Talulah won't."

As for the palace guards... ordinary guards couldn't stop Su Rui at all, since he had Scanning Vision to help him plan his route and avoid surveillance.

As for the Inner Guard... these people would definitely recognize Su Rui, and Su Rui was even a little worried that they might imagine some unfounded things.

"In that case, just give me the package. I'll come over now."

Now that they had already discussed what to do next, Su Rui didn't think too much about it and planned to finish the task quickly and go back.

Vulpisfoglia took out a smaller suitcase from Su Rui's suitcase and placed it in her hand.

Su Rui mentally asked Exusiai, "Can you let me control your body now?"

'No problem, feel free to use it~'

Exusiai laughed and swapped bodies with Su Rui.

When control was transferred, Vulpisfoglia's eyes changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal, and Su Rui didn't notice anything.

"In that case, I'll call the package over as soon as possible and come back."

Su Rui nodded and reached out to take the package from Vulpisfoglia's hand.

But when his hand grasped the suitcase, Vulpisfoglia grabbed his wrist and stared intently at him.

"Remember... make sure she signs for it in person, and record a video as proof."

Vulpisfoglia looked into Su Rui's eyes, her tone inexplicably complicated.

"Of course... I'll let her take good care of the filming."

Su Rui was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something interesting and couldn't help but show a strange smile.

"... Be careful on the road, or we can give you a ride."

"No need, I can walk this distance myself. By the way, take good care of your weapons, don't let them be discovered."

As Su Rui spoke, she took out the weapons from Vulpisfoglia and the others, handed them to them, and then put the briefcase into her System Space.

Then, Su Rui smiled and greeted Vulpisfoglia and the others, "Then I'll be going now, ciallo~(∠?ω)"

Although she was using Exusiai's body, Su Rui's actions still startled Vulpisfoglia. They stared blankly at the closed door as Su Rui left for a long time.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Vulpisfoglia, Croissant Texas, and Sora looked at each other, all feeling somewhat awkward.

Vulpisfoglia and Texas were fine, Croissant and Sora couldn't help but feel a little shy. It was the first time they had ever seen Su Rui unintentionally show affection or flirt with someone like that.

It must be said that the effect was indeed very good; even Vulpisfoglia and Texas, who were familiar with Su Rui, were affected.

"Um, I... I'll go back to my room to practice first."

Kong's tone was somewhat shy, and she turned to leave in a flustered manner after speaking. As she opened the door, she accidentally bumped into the door frame, making a loud "thump."

Croissant was relatively calm. She reached for her equipment, greeted Texas and Vulpisfoglia, and then left.

Texas and Vulpisfoglia exchanged a glance, both seeing the "I knew it" sentiment in each other's eyes. Then Texas nodded to Vulpisfoglia.

"In that case, I'll head back now."

After saying that, Texas also left Vulpisfoglia's room, while Su Rui, after walking onto the street, did not stop for a car, but instead strolled slowly towards the palace.

He wanted to take a look at the place Talulah.

Volume 3, Chapter 173: Talulah in the Office

In reality, every city is pretty much the same. Even the capital city, apart from some landmark buildings, doesn't have anything particularly special compared to other places.

Su Rui didn't intend to delve into Ursus culture; she simply wanted to take a quick look at the city, its unique architecture, and experience its charm.

But he soon discovered that this place was no different from Chernobog, which had been occupied by the Reunion Movement, except that there were some tall mansions and a magnificent palace.

So, Su Rui quickly grew tired of it, and besides, he was now using Exusiai's body, Sankta's distinctive features had attracted a lot of attention from the Ursus people along the way.

Although the people here were certainly aware of the existence of the Sankta race, the curious and inquisitive gazes did make Su Rui somewhat uncomfortable.

Therefore, he quickened his pace and, after seeing what he wanted to see, headed directly towards the palace.

Moreover, Ursus was so cold that even wearing a thick cotton coat, the cold wind blowing against his cheeks still made Su Rui shiver and quicken his pace.

Although the palace was indeed heavily guarded, Su Rui's Scanning Vision revealed that there were still many loopholes in their defenses.

Even using the body of the Sankta, a race with an aura that makes them inherently unsuitable for infiltration, Su Rui still managed to sneak into the palace.

By hiding in what appeared to be a carriage used for exchanging clothes, Su Rui was able to slip into the palace without any trouble.

It seems that because these clothes were intended for maids or similar people, the inspection was not very strict.

Even as she passed by, Su Rui made eye contact with a maid... After all, Su Rui wasn't one of the trained assassins Vulpisfoglia and the others, so it was normal for her to run into some trouble.

The maid only paused for a moment, looking at Su Rui with surprise, but didn't say anything.

So, Su Rui avoided everyone's routes as much as possible and arrived deep inside the palace.

Talulah is currently in her study deep within the palace, which means she should be processing documents.

So what if I startled her now?... Never mind, what if I frighten her and it affects the processing of the documents?

Talulah has so many things to manage right now; if she makes a mistake, the consequences could be severe.

A hint of worry flashed in Su Rui's eyes, and she quickly arrived at the door of Talulah's study.

By the way, the Inner Guard — Su Rui's Scanning Vision certainly detected Inner Guard, but it seems they only sent one person to follow them from a distance, without coming to make contact or stop them.

What's going on? Are these guys neglecting their duties? What if an assassin really comes?

Su Rui was somewhat dissatisfied and planned to go to Talulah to complain about it later.

The study door can be opened directly because people come back from time to time to deliver documents.

Su Rui squatted down, keeping her body as low as possible, and then gently opened the study door.

The sound of the door opening was still somewhat noticeable, but Talulah, focused on her documents, probably wouldn't have noticed.

Thinking this, Su Rui slowly slipped through the crack in the door and saw Talulah diligently working on her documents.

With that thought in mind, Su Rui patted Talulah's shoulder from behind. She moved slowly in front of Talulah, hoping that the woman, who was focused on her work, wouldn't notice her.

Soon, Su Rui, who had slowly moved behind Talulah, stood up gently. Just as she was about to reach out and touch Talulah's shoulder, Talulah, who had been diligently working on her documents, grabbed her wrist.

Before Su Rui could even be surprised, she felt a sudden weightlessness, was flipped over, and landed on the desk in front of Talulah, who had just moved her chair back.

"... What's going on?" Su Rui sat blankly at his desk, staring at Talulah in front of him, completely bewildered.

Talulah hadn't noticed him, so why did she suddenly reach out...?

Su Rui's mind went blank due to the sudden and unexpected development. Before she could figure it out, she heard Talulah's laughter.

Then, a warm touch came from his cheek. Talulah stretched out her hand and pinched Su Rui's chin, looking down at him:

"You don't actually think you can fool me with that kind of stealth technique, do you?"

"... So, you knew about me from the very beginning?"

Su Rui looked at Talulah in disbelief, then saw Talulah nod:

"That's not all. I noticed you from the very beginning. I have many spies in the palace."
