Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form? Chapter 88

"Alright."

Su Rui nodded. After all, he wasn't the kind of person who could fall asleep as soon as he lay down, so it was good to find something to do to pass the time.

With this in mind, Su Rui and Talulah went to a movie screening room.

It's a very comfortable place. The screening room only has seats for about a dozen people, so it's not spacious, and it's very warm, which is completely different from the cold environment of Ursus.

More importantly, the movie-watching seats are on soft beds where you can lie down.

Su Rui couldn't help but get excited and pounced onto the soft bed, bouncing twice on it.

"Wow~ This feels amazing~ I've always heard about cinemas like this, but this is the first time I've actually seen one."

Talulah wasn't surprised by Su Rui's reaction. She simply smiled and came to Su Rui's side, sat down, and lay down on the soft bed with him.

"You can adjust the settings to watch whatever you want; this screen actually uses online streaming."

"It's quite convenient, but it would be really fun if there were interchangeable film rolls or something like that."

Su Rui didn't pay much attention to it; it was just a casual remark. Then she leaned back on the soft bed and watched the movie that had already started.

The content itself isn't actually important; after all, Su Rui just wanted something to kill time. While watching the movie, Su Rui was actually chatting and playing games with Exusiai.

It's a very challenging Souls-like adventure game, but thankfully, Su Rui can cheat and play online with Exusiai. Even if the two of them get killed together, it's not too bad, and sometimes you even laugh at your own silly moves.

Talulah's attention was no longer on the movie. Firstly, she thought all the recent movies were garbage, and secondly, Talulah's purpose wasn't to watch the movie, but to Su Rui.

Although Su Rui is a little hesitant about using someone else's body, she thinks it should be fine if they just rest together, right?

Talulah's guess about Su Rui turned out to be completely correct. After lying on the soft, warm bed for a short while and watching a rather uninteresting movie, Su Rui quickly became drowsy and even put aside her original plan to play games with Exusiai, and actually fell asleep leaning against the wall.

'Maybe it's because of my physical condition? I didn't expect to actually feel sleepy.'

Su Rui didn't pay much attention to it; she simply greeted Exusiai and then fell asleep.

Talulah deliberately waited for about ten minutes before reaching out to touch the tip of Su Rui's nose to make sure her breathing was even and not fake, before she breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she reached out a hand to get closer to Su Rui, Su Rui's demeanor changed again. Her gentle and approachable aura disappeared, and she transformed into the Exusiai who made Talulah grit her teeth in anger.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Even though Su Rui is asleep, I'm not."

Exusiai smiled slightly at Talulah, then jumped off the soft bed and headed outside.

At the same time, they didn't forget to state their own requirements:

"Please arrange a room for me, and also a compromising photo. You don't want me to be so tired from not sleeping well that he'll be drowsy when you're with Su Rui tomorrow, do you?"

As she spoke, Exusiai smiled smugly at Talulah until she felt the cold, sharp blade pressed against her neck.

"Ah~" Exusiai's eyes widened in surprise. She stiffened instinctively for a moment before realizing something and smiling as she moved closer to Talulah.

"What? You want to hit me? But if you do that, you won't see Su Rui anymore~ If you scold me, Su Rui will feel pain when we switch bodies later, right?"

Now, it was Talulah herself who felt a little uncomfortable. She snorted in dissatisfaction and looked towards the door. A maid came to Exusiai's side and gestured for her to enter.

Talulah, standing behind Exusiai, coldly said:

"Your eye patch will be delivered later."

This is what Talulah completely helpless. Although she is the Empress of Ursus, while Exusiai is just a courier from Lungmen, their statuses are vastly different, yet she really can't do anything about Exusiai.

"Damn it! "Talulah snorted coldly, glancing in the direction where Exusiai had already left, and ordered the maid beside her:

"Get her the best eye mask, and also, send her a cup of hot milk."

To ensure that Su Rui could be in good spirits and get along well with her the next day, Talulah gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger, thinking it was just a small inconvenience.

Exusiai breathed a sigh of relief as she left, though she wasn't as composed as she appeared. When Talulah's sword was at her neck, Exusiai's heart was pounding.

In fact Exusiai doesn't mind getting along well with Talulah, since they are both hosts of Su Rui, and in some ways they are more likely to understand each other.

But Talulah just won't interact with her in a friendly manner... Maybe I should try again tomorrow?

Exusiai nodded and made that decision.

Volume 3, 179 Shooting Exercises

The next morning, it Exusiai who woke up Su Rui. Both of them were usually lazy, but today Exusiai woke up earlier than Su Rui.

"Time to get up, Su Rui. Look at the view from the Ursus Imperial Palace, it's quite nice."

Exusiai spoke, Su Rui also focused her attention on the Scanning Vision, and then saw the Ursus Imperial Palace under the morning sunlight, shimmering and exceptionally dazzling.

It was unusually sunny in Ursus.

"As for the scenery, this morning was quite nice."

Su Rui nodded, agreeing with Exusiai's words.

"By the way, Su Rui, when I came over just now, I found a great spot for shooting. The troops, or rather, this palace has many shooting positions. If we just set up a few marksmen here, we can control the entire palace and the surrounding streets."

At this point, Exusiai's eyes lit up, and then she heard Talulah's displeased voice behind her:

"You don't need to worry so much. I have plenty of ways to control my palace. Su Rui will be in no danger with me."

"I was just saying."

Exusiai shrugged. She felt she and Talulah could get along well, so she quickly retracted her prepared sarcastic remark and turned to Talulah with a smile and a greeting.

Good morning, Talulah, it's nice to meet you.

"I don't see anything to be happy about." Talulah looked coldly at Exusiai and asked, "Where's Su Rui? He promised to stay with me for three days."

"Don't rush me. Su Rui needs my permission to switch bodies with me."

Exusiai had made up her mind to have a proper conversation with Talulah. She raised her head, her short red hair fluttering in the morning breeze, her blue eyes sparkling.

"Look, you don't really need to be so hostile towards me, do you? You like Su Rui, and I like Su Rui too, so shouldn't we be on the same side?"

Exusiai's words immediately brightened Talulah's eyes, which flashed with golden flames. She stared intently at Exusiai, her voice sounding like she was gritting her teeth. "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Um, okay, it seems you don't like what I said. What I meant was that we're both hosts of Su Rui, there's no need to be so hostile. Alright, alright, don't be angry, I'm going back now."

Exusiai didn't know how she had angered Talulah, but now it seemed that there was no need to try to build a good relationship with Talulah in the next three days, because she had just completely offended Talulah and there was no way to make amends.

Despite thinking this, Exusiai still said one last thing to Talulah before the exchange:

"Oh, and don't you dare bully Su Rui, okay? I'll be watching. If you try anything bad, I'll just switch you back."

"My relationship with Su Rui won't be sustained by just that kind of relationship."

Talulah sneered. This was what made her different from the other hosts. She had an absolutely long time to get along with Su Rui, perhaps forever, while the other hosts would only die with the passage of time.

In the end, at the end of time, only she and Su Rui remained, and Su Rui had no other choice... Therefore, Talulah had no need to maintain friendly relations with the other hosts, nor did she need to get along with them.

After talking with Talulah, Exusiai and Su Rui switched bodies.

A gentle and approachable aura returned, Su Rui opened her eyes, smiling as she greeted Talulah:

Good morning, Talulah.

"Good morning." Looking at Su Rui in front of her, Talulah couldn't help but smile. Just seeing Su Rui brought her a sense of peace, a feeling that could never be replaced, and it was also the reason why everyone could recognize Su Rui at a glance.

But looking at Talulah's smiling face, Su Rui suddenly moved closer to her, and said with a slightly playful smile:

Are you happy to see me?

Su Rui's sudden question startled Talulah for a moment, then she nodded. "Of course I'm happy."

"You're celebrating too soon."

Talulah's inexplicable words, but Talulah was already used to Su Rui's sometimes illogical statements, and couldn't help but chuckle as she moved closer to Su Rui:

"Then tell me, where did I get too excited?"

"Hmm... let me think about it."

Su Rui nodded; he had only thought it was funny to say that.

Talulah didn't seem to mind. She remembered the conversation between the Exusiai and Su Rui earlier. Given Su Rui's personality, she probably would also enjoy activities like shooting with the Sankta's gun, right?

"Alright, I overheard your conversation with Exusiai. There's plenty of open space in the palace. I'll have someone prepare some targets for you. How about you try shooting?"

Talulah spoke, she stepped back in front of Su Rui, gesturing for Su Rui to follow her.

"Of course, no problem!"

Su Rui nodded, then followed Talulah into a large, empty room.

The ceiling is a bright glass dome that allows sunlight to stream in directly, and there are also backup bright ceiling lights to prevent visibility issues caused by bad weather.

Then, behind a row of low concrete walls that only reached waist height, were various metal targets spaced at different intervals.

Several weapons were displayed on the low wall.

Su Rui glanced at it briefly. Apart from a revolver and a pistol with a normal magazine that matched his understanding of guns or firearms, everything else was rather oddly shaped.

For example, there's the heavy crossbow hanging on the hand, and another one, well, a revolver with a grip perpendicular to the muzzle, shaped like a straight line.

Su Rui picked it up curiously to examine it. "Wouldn't this shape of pistol be a bit inconvenient for shooting?"

"Once you get used to it, you won't. Besides, this thing is actually called a staff."

Talulah stood beside Su Rui, smiling and gesturing, "Large firearms like Rapid-Fire Gun are generally controlled and strictly managed by the Sankta, so even in Ursus, there aren't that many... Get familiar with the feel of it first, I'll step away for a bit."

"Good."

Su Rui nodded and picked up each of the shooting weapons in front of him to try them out. Soon, Su Rui lost interest in elastic potential energy weapons such as heavy crossbows. Mainly, their mechanical feel was not as strong as that of firearms, and they were not attractive to Su Rui, who simply liked to have fun.

However, considering that Terra are all superhumans who can draw heavy crossbows with one hand, ordinary bullets probably wouldn't be able to harm them. After all, wearing a thick layer of armor would reduce the effectiveness of bullets. Thick metal plates might be heavy for humans, but they might not be so for Terra.

(That straight pistol is actually Absinthe's weapon; she's an operator in Ursus, and her father is a military police officer in Chernobog.)

Volume 3, Chapter 180 Talulah's Gift and Request

Given Talulah's personality, she might do anything after leaving, so Su Rui didn't care. She simply rubbed the gun in her hand, aimed it at the target opposite her, and began to try it out with great interest.

The Sankta Mainframe also reflects the results of Sankta innate genetic editing indeed contributed to Sankta exceptional design talent.

It's a feeling, as if you're born knowing how to use something you can shoot as long as you have it in your hand.

Su Rui fiddled with the pistol in his hand, which should actually be called a reclining cannon, loaded the magazine with ammunition, and then aimed.

Both the firing mechanism of the gun and the bullets are actually Originium Unit; these two combined constitute the staffs commonly used by Terra.

The only difference is that Sankta's Rapid-Fire Gun is more numerous and easier to use, especially given Sankta's shooting talent.

Even for Su Rui, using the body of Exusiai and holding a pistol, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.

As if all he had to do was raise his hand and shoot, he was certain of hitting the target. Somewhat uncertainly, Su Rui tried aiming with three different methods: Scanning Vision to assist aiming, aiming with his naked eye, and aiming by feel.

Besides the absolutely accurate results calculated from the Scanning Vision, Su Rui discovered that even shooting by feel was more accurate than when he painstakingly aimed with his naked eye, and the technique was so precise that it hit the bullseye every time.

As expected of Sankta?

A smile crept onto Su Rui's lips. He then took a gun in each hand and fired continuously at the distant target.

Generally speaking, even Sankta could not easily multitask by operating two different types of guns.

However, Su Rui possessed Scanning Vision and exceptional computing power, so after mastering the knack, he quickly became proficient and performed remarkably well.

Even Exusiai was still playing the game, was drawn to Su Rui's state and couldn't help but exclaim, "Su Rui, your calculation ability is just too cheating! Even if I wanted to achieve this level, it wouldn't be easy."

"Of course, after all, I have advantages that no one else can match."

Su Rui's lips curled into a smug smile, and then she heard Exusiai's suggestion:

'Perhaps you could try shooting in different ways. Even the Sankta has different design elements. Try different approaches, and you'll find the one that suits you best.'

"Then I'd appreciate it if you could introduce me to someone."

Su Rui nodded, then aimed the gun at the target in the distance and fired again in a different order.

Speaking of shooting, Exusiai, being a Sarkaz, was naturally very excited. She immediately threw aside what she was holding and began to teach Suri about Sarkaz shooting techniques.

Of course, these so-called skills are all similar to special moves. For most races, the real concern is how to hit the target first.

Sankta's design approach is similar to being born walking and then having to learn how to run.

After learning about the Exusiai had mentioned, Su Rui nodded. With the help of Scanning Vision, he didn't need to worry about accuracy.

All you need to do is aim the gun at the target according to the calculation, then pull the trigger, and the enemy will run into Su Rui's bullet.

Just as Su Rui and Exusiai were intensely discussing and experimenting with how outstanding a marksman they could become by combining Sankta's shooting talent with Su Rui's Scanning Vision, Talulah returned carrying a briefcase.
