Ark Simulator: Don't I Have No Physical Form?
"Talulah? This is..." Su Rui was still a little confused, but Exusiai was already shouting, "This size, this shape, they absolutely wouldn't make it! I swear on my honor as a Sankta, there's definitely a top-notch gun inside!"
Su Rui wasn't certain that she hadn't heard anything; she just watched with some doubt as Talulah placed the suitcase in front of her and then slowly opened it.
Inside was indeed, as Exusiai had said, a single Rapid-Fire Gun. Su Rui couldn't help but wonder, "Shouldn't this be strictly controlled by Laterano?"
"No matter how strictly the Sankta control things, they can't stop an emperor from wanting to collect things."
Talulah smiled and pushed the suitcase in front of Su Rui: "This is a gift for you. Sometimes, you really do need a weapon for self-defense."
"In most cases, I only need to give the host a few hints to fight."
Su Rui shrugged, but still took the Rapid-Fire Gun in his hand. The many metal parts made the gun quite heavy, but the sense of satisfaction in holding it was also very strong.
Su Rui looked the gun up and down in her hand, then turned to Talulah: "Thank you, I really like this gift."
Although her tone wasn't particularly intense, both Talulah and Exusiai could sense Su Rui's affection from her words.
Talulah simply smiled, then, as if remembering something, emphasized, "By the way, this is a gift for you. Don't give it to anyone else, especially not to Sankta, who values his guns more than his own life."
"I would never take your things, Su Rui!" Exusiai immediately complained in Su Rui's mind. She wasn't a bad person, and she Exusiai to fight with Su Rui over something like that... although she did have a bit of a craving for the gun.
However, Exusiai of her word and would never try to trick Su Rui into giving her that gun.
Su Rui nodded, looking at Talulah with a serious expression. "I would never do something like taking a gift from someone else and then giving it away as a gift to someone else."
"Of course, I believe you. I'm just worried that a certain Sankta might not be able to resist his greed."
Talulah said meaningfully.
"I believe Exusiai wouldn't do such a thing, and besides, this is mine, I'm reluctant to give it away."
Su Rui smiled and patted Talulah on the shoulder:
"Alright, wanna give it a try? I'm pretty good at shooting, I can teach you!"
Although Su Rui is a beginner as a Sankta, Su Rui believes her shooting skills are quite good compared to Talulah.
"Okay, then I'll have to ask you to teach me."
Talulah looked directly into his eyes as she spoke, "So what should I do?"
"Sankta's feel for shooting is usually vague, but I'm different. I have Scanning Vision analysis that can clearly tell you what to do."
Su Rui's lips curled into a smug smile, and she went to Talulah's side. Unfortunately, without the guidance of Scanning Vision, she could only mark it with her finger.
Volume 3, Chapter 181: Materialization and Exusiai's Little Scheme
The three days spent with Talulah passed quickly. Apart from the occasional conflicts between Talulah and Exusiai, which Su Rui would try to resolve, nothing significant happened.
Three days later, Exusiai returned to the hotel where Penguin Logistics was located and immediately couldn't help but greet her colleagues:
"Wuhu~ Boss, and everyone else, I'm back~"
Like a triumphant hero returning home, Exusiai cheered as she slid to her knees on the soft carpet after knocking on Vulpisfoglia's door, making a gesture of opening her arms.
"Welcome back... Shall we stay here a few more days?" Vulpisfoglia smiled at Exusiai. She planned to give Exusiai with Su Rui, so that she could take advantage of any opportunities after Su Rui materialized.
But Exusiai shook her head. "No, let's go back quickly. I feel like I'm freezing after staying here for so long!"
No, actually the palace is very warm, but Exusiai have her reasons for saying that.
Su Rui didn't refute, but just silently watched Exusiai's speech, while stroking her Rapid-Fire Gun in her own System Space.
The mechanical structure and long-range shooting capabilities of such a device possess a remarkable allure, regardless of the era.
It's fair to say that Su Rui is currently captivated by the Rapid-Fire Gun in his hand.
Vulpisfoglia noticed that Su Rui hadn't spoken and couldn't help but wonder, "Where's Su Rui? Why isn't he saying anything?"
It couldn't have already materialized and been left in the palace, could it?
A cold glint flashed in Vulpisfoglia's eyes. If that was the case, she would have to find a way to rescue Su Rui, even if it meant breaking into the palace.
Exusiai simply smiled and waved her hand, "No, Su Rui just got a new toy and is a little enamored with it."
"A new toy?"
Exusiai's words immediately attracted the attention of the others. Su Rui also heard their conversation and immediately spoke into her phone:
"I got a new Rapid-Fire Gun, you can take a look!"
As she spoke, Su Rui wanted to borrow Exusiai's body and show it off to them.
But Exusiai smiled slightly, reassuring Su Rui in her heart: 'Wait a minute, after we get back to Lungmen, I'll give you a surprise too~'
"You don't have that much salary to prepare a surprise, do you? It's fine as it is. Don't spend all your salary on a gift and then have to starve!"
Su Rui couldn't help but feel worried after hearing Exusiai's words.
But Exusiai confidently shook her head. "Of course not. I'm a person who plans things out. Don't worry, there definitely won't be any problems."
"Okay, then I'll wait."
Su Rui didn't pay much attention and continued to tinker with his Rapid-Fire Gun in the System Space. He had gotten along very well with Talulah over the past three days, and Exusiai had helped him a lot, always Exusiai Talulah she wanted to cause trouble.
Su Rui's trust in her gradually increased.
However, Su Rui felt that this Rapid-Fire Gun was a bit strange. The Originium Activation Unit on it seemed to have Talulah- like feel to it... This description didn't seem quite accurate. In any case, it seemed to be due to Talulah's special characteristics.
After Talulah used it, whenever Su Rui held the gun, she always felt as if Talulah was right beside her, watching over her.
Then came the return journey to Lungmen. Nothing unexpected happened during the journey, and we quickly returned to Lungmen.
Furthermore, in the dedicated lounge on the third floor of Penguin Logistics, Exusiai, upon returning, immediately plopped down on the soft sofa, letting out a joyful exclamation. "Wow~ So good~ So comfortable~"
Su Rui then took the girls' luggage out of her System Space: "I've taken your things out, please take them back with you~"
"Thank you." Sora and Croissant smiled and expressed their gratitude, but Exusiai seemed to remember something and looked at Vulpisfoglia:
"Vulpisfoglia Boss~, I don't have enough clothes, do you have any spare clothes?" Exusiai said, winking and smiling at Vulpisfoglia.
Vulpisfoglia paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and nodded. "I'll go get it for you."
Okay, thank you, boss!
Exusiai took the clothes from Vulpisfoglia's hands and quickly went to her room.
"I'll be out soon, don't go away!"
Sora and Croissant looked at Exusiai's back with some confusion, while Texas and Vulpisfoglia seemed to realize something.
Back in her room, after locking the door, Exusiai let out a rather strange laugh:
"Hehehe~ Su Rui, are you ready?"
"Otherwise what? I've already materialized twice, and my Scanning Vision shows that what you got from Vulpisfoglia was men's clothing."
Su Rui was irritated as she communicated with Exusiai on her phone, wondering if the materialization process had actually progressed this quickly.
Although Exusiai was reliable in helping him fend off harassment on several occasions, and Su Rui truly trusted him, he himself didn't realize that their relationship had become so close.
Exusiai chuckled, picked up the clothes, and fiddled with them for a bit. "Alright, then Su Rui, hurry up and change your clothes so I can see them~"
Seeing the form of Surissakota in the system's materialization progress, Exusiai felt a surge of excitement, her eyes sparkling: My holy child, you are about to fall into my hands!
Su Rui had no idea what Exusiai was thinking; she only felt the chill of the air again amidst a burst of light.
"Ouch~ Stop playing around, give me the clothes now."
Su Rui shivered from the cold air in the room, snatched the clothes from Exusiai's hand, and then crawled into bed. Under Exusiai's watchful eye, the blankets churned, and the red-haired Sankta, now dressed, appeared before Exusiai.
Su Rui glanced at Exusiai, then went to the mirror and examined herself.
Red hair and blue eyes, but his appearance hasn't changed at all; only his racial features and hair color have changed... Isn't this a sign of laziness from the Upper System?
However, without dwelling on it too much, Su Rui took out his Rapid-Fire Gun from the System Space and gestured at Exusiai: "I'll blow your heart out with one shot~" As he spoke, Su Rui made a motion of leaning back due to the recoil when firing.
"Ah! My heart has exploded, I'm falling in love!"
Exusiai playfully clutched her heart with both hands, pretending to be on the verge of death, but neither she nor Su Rui could hide their smiles.
Volume 3, Chapter 182 Exusiai doing? She's asleep.
Now that I have a physical body and have changed my clothes, it's time to go out and say hello to everyone.
Su Rui pushed open the door, and just as he was about to greet Vulpisfoglia and the others outside, he felt a pair of arms reach out from behind and hug him around the waist.
Exusiai pressed herself against Su Rui from behind, then looked at Vulpisfoglia and the others, introducing the handsome boy in her arms with a bright smile:
"This is Su Rui ~ She's the Su Rui who talked to us before and helped us keep our things safe~"
Sora and Croissant couldn't help but look at Su Rui with amazement, sizing her up and down, and for a moment they were speechless with surprise.
Vulpisfoglia and Texas exchanged a glance, confirming their earlier suspicions.
Su Rui's racial characteristics can indeed change depending on the host.
However, that's not the point right now. Both of them were getting a little anxious. From each other's eyes, Texas and Vulpisfoglia could tell that the other wanted to kill some time with Su Rui.
Although Exusiai didn't directly see Vulpisfoglia and Texas's subtle thoughts, she hugged Su Rui tightly around the waist, pressing herself against him. "Su Rui will be staying in my room from now on, so say hello to everyone~"
"There's no need to greet each other; we've met before."
Su Rui gave Exusiai, then glanced at Texas and Vulpisfoglia, meeting their gazes as a greeting.
Then came Sora and Croissant, who haven't said a word yet:
"Hello, I'm Su Rui, you can just call me that."
"Huh? Oh, hello, nice to meet you." Croissant finally snapped out of her daze and greeted Su Rui. Then, noticing that Sora was still in a daze, she gently nudged her with her elbow to bring her back to her senses.
She stared blankly at Croissant for a moment, then, at Croissant's winking and gesturing, turned to look at Su Rui. The girl still seemed to be in a daze, and her first words upon seeing Su Rui were:
"Su Rui, your voice is so beautiful. Would you be interested in becoming an idol with me?"
"I..." Su Rui didn't want to agree, after all, his physical form wouldn't last long anyway, but before he could finish speaking, he heard Vulpisfoglia next to Gao speak up first, "Su Rui won't get involved in these things. It's better for him to use his time for other things."
The thought of so many people seeing and coveting her treasure made Vulpisfoglia unable to suppress the fire in her heart.
Vulpisfoglia was already unhappy about accepting that Su Rui had to leave her, and now, of course, she couldn't accept that Su Rui would use the time that could have been spent with her to show off Su Rui's beauty to others.
Su Rui doesn't need popularity to prove his charm. If possible, Vulpisfoglia would prefer that Su Rui be known only to her.
Although Exusiai Vulpisfoglia help but nod after Vulpisfoglia finished speaking:
"Yeah, I also think Su Rui isn't suited to be an idol. He's better suited to adventures with us. Lots of fun things will happen while he's delivering packages!"
"... If you're referring to the previous kidnapping case, I think it's best to avoid such risks."
Although Su Rui doesn't dislike adventure, he hates tragedy. Those abducted children—the parents must be incredibly worried, right?
Everyone was already familiar with Su Rui's little mood swings. To his complaints, Exusiai simply smiled and glanced at the sky outside the window.
"It's getting late, we should go back and rest. See you tomorrow!"
With that, Exusiai pulled Su Rui directly towards her bedroom.
Croissant and Sora watched Exusiai's retreating figure with some regret, but they did not stop Exusiai from making such an intimate gesture with Su Rui, whom they were "meeting for the first time".
When Croissant and Sora looked towards Texas, they found that the two had already disappeared. Could it be that something important had happened?
Sora tilted her head in slight confusion, but she also needed to go back and rest, after all, she still had work and idol career to attend to.
Putting those thoughts aside, Kong returned to her bedroom. Croissant seemed to have noticed something, but the Forte girl simply smiled slightly, returned to her room, and, with a smug air of having seen through everything, said nothing.
Texas and Vulpisfoglia were talking in the room. After seeing Vulpisfoglia close the door, Texas immediately asked in a cold voice, "When are we going to find Su Rui?"
It was clear that her anxiety was much stronger than it appeared.
Vulpisfoglia, on the other hand, appeared much calmer, her tone more even. "Don't worry, we just Exusiai's room. When she can't hold back any longer, we can naturally barge in and join her..."
Considering that Exusiai is also Su Rui's host, and Su Rui relationship is indeed inseparable, Vulpisfoglia could only accept Exusiai's existence and planned to share the spoils with her.
One Wolper, one Lupo, Vulpisfoglia, and Texas sat in chairs with their backs against the wall next to Exusiai's bedroom, waiting for any movement inside so they could go straight in through the passage Vulpisfoglia had prepared.
But Vulpisfoglia and Texas waited for a long time without hearing any unusual noises. They didn't even hear the soft rustling of clothes being taken off.
Texas waited for about half an hour before finally standing up, unable to contain herself any longer. Seeing this, Vulpisfoglia also stood up.
"Let's go see what happened."
As she spoke, Vulpisfoglia took out the balcony key and opened the passage leading to Exusiai's room.
The balconies are not connected; each balcony is separated by a small section of open space. However, for the people of Terra, this distance is so small that they don't even need to jump across; they can simply be a little careful.
