"What happened to Ifrit?"

Suri and Saria escorted Ifrit to the beach, where their Rhodes Island companions had gathered, and then headed towards the location Suri had marked earlier.

However, Suri also noticed Ifrit's unusual behavior.

"Ifrit was just in a bad mood when she first woke up, but she's been feeling much better now that she's with her friends."

As Saria spoke, she reached out and gently nudged Suri's lower back: "Alright, let's hurry up and go."

"I know, isn't a whole day enough for you to play? There's no need to rush. I was thinking of going to buy some drinks."

"Don't you have water in your system space?"

"Of course there is, but I'm not talking about water."

And so, in the midst of the tug-of-war, Suri and Seria followed a path unnoticed by anyone to a secluded courtyard by the lake.

Bright sunlight streamed down through the circular cave overhead, illuminating the sand and smooth pebbles on the water-washed ground.

It's very quiet here, so quiet you can hear the breathing of the people around you and the faint sounds of small animals in the woods.

Saria could no longer contain herself. After quickly scanning her field of vision to make sure no one was around, she reached out and pressed Suri against the smooth rock wall.

"Even if you're in a hurry, there's no need to do this. My system space can store all the clothes directly."

Suri rolled his eyes at Saria, and was about to use the system space when he heard Saria stop him:

"Wait a minute, don't put all the clothes away. Leave your coat."

"Is it because it feels better when you're acting?" Suri sneered, and as Saria had requested, she put away the rest of the fabric.

"And you? Do you need my help?"

"Hmm." Saria nodded, then realized that her actions had been a bit too forceful and had displeased Suri, so she quickly apologized.

"I was a little too hasty just now... so, I'm sorry."

"I understand, so stop dawdling."

Suri also left a coat for Saria, so at least she looked somewhat... In short, the feeling of being half-covered was quite nice, and it gave her a strange sense of security.

Then, under the bright sunshine and in the quiet cave ceiling, Saria and Suri's solo performance began. Although no one could appreciate this scene, Suri decided to record it.

...It's a little embarrassing to admit, but Su Rui actually kept a record of all those actions. He even made a data disk from the holographic recordings and kept it as a collectible in a small corner of his system space.

To protect this data, Suri made many copies and stored them in different safes.

Volume 4, Chapter 239: Should we burn this city to ashes?

The seawater rises and falls with the tides, and at this moment, Suri and Saria have been fighting fiercely under the courtyard for who knows how long.

In short, with the waves washing over their ankles and occasionally splashing water on their bodies, Suri and Saria were now finding it hard to distinguish whether the water on their bodies was sweat or seawater.

Overall, however, Saria was still quite happy to see the handsome young man, Suri, looking somewhat disheveled in her arms.

The two Vaivans were also very strong, and Saria had exerted herself a bit too much. When they leaned against the rock wall after their workout, Suri glanced at the spot where she had just been leaning:

"Does this area look dented from being hit?"

"How could that be? This is a rock wall." Saria smiled. Without seriously damaging it, she didn't think she and Suri could do that kind of thing.

"Really?" Suri raised an eyebrow and activated the scanning field of vision, allowing Saria to see the before-and-after comparison as well.

The conclusion was that Saria's actions did indeed damage the rock wall, and that the damage started from the inside due to the impact.

Suri found a spot on the rock wall and tapped it gently. Saria then saw the once smooth and rounded rock wall crumble into pieces due to Suri's gentle tapping.

"...I thought I had overestimated Vayvan's power enough. It seems that relying solely on visual observation is indeed somewhat inaccurate. From now on, I'll just use scanning vision to gather intelligence."

Saria looked away somewhat awkwardly, gently took off Suri's already soaked coat, and then said:

"Shall we go grab something to eat? And maybe patronize Ifrit's business while we're at it?"

"Okay, I really need to rest after exercising for so long."

Suri nodded. He was also feeling a bit hungry. After quickly changing into new swimsuits, they walked together towards the other side of the beach.

Ifrit's barbecue stand is quite popular, and together with the drink stand next door, business is booming.

Suri and Saria lined up and stood in front of Ifrit, the girl's face immediately lit up with surprise:

"Saria?! Suri? You're here too!"

"Hmm, we want more. If we can't finish it, we can put it in my pocket (system space) so we don't have to wait in line again if we don't have enough to eat."

Suri looked at Saria, who nodded, while Ifrit happily patted her chest and assured her:

"Don't worry, I'm a great griller, it'll be ready in no time!"

After all, Ifrit's Originium Arts are also fire-based, making them a perfect match for grilling.

Soon, Suri and Seria sat down on the concrete pavement next to the beach, holding barbecue and lemonade in their hands. They sat by the roadside, enjoying the sea breeze.

Suri kicked her calves and leaned against Saria, then suddenly said, "If this happens every day, it feels a little too much."

"Why?" Saria paused, thinking about what she had done, and felt a little nervous. Could it be that her overly forceful approach at the beginning had made Suri unhappy?

Fortunately, Suri's next words immediately dispelled Saria's idea:

"What I mean is, this kind of day is a bit too sugary. If it's like this every day, it feels a bit... hard to accept? Maybe it's just me."

"Maybe it's because you like a more exciting life?"

Saria took a sip of lemonade and then said:

Personally, I sometimes have this feeling too.

"You have nowhere to vent your inner violence? After all, the strength you've trained is meant to be used at some point, right?"

Suri suddenly winked at Saria and then said:

"By the way, I know a city where corruption and chaos are rampant. It's not far from here, also a city belonging to Bolívar. How about it? Want to come with me and burn that city to ashes?"

“That would also hurt innocent people.” Saria frowned. Suri really did like to joke.

But he became particularly excited whenever the topic of destruction or the elimination of certain people came up; clearly, Suri enjoyed these things.

When talking about these things, Suri would also mention some rather outrageous plans, but this time Suri wasn't joking. He really intended to burn the city to ashes, literally.

Suri, of course, saw through Saria's thoughts and rolled her eyes in annoyance:

"Don't worry, it's not that exaggerated. I still know my limits. In fact, I do have a plan... You see."

As she spoke, Suri took a bite of barbecue and, through her telepathic communication and visual connection with Saria, revealed her plan:

"I have prepared a scanning program that will automatically activate every time we enter a new city, searching for corruption and the sources of chaos in the city. These targets will be verified multiple times, so there will be no errors."

This program will also prepare several similar plans based on the template I set, which we can modify slightly as needed.

Although what Suri described seemed to be a planned program of destruction targeting every city, Saria wasn't surprised. She was even surprised that she didn't feel any aversion; instead, she felt a sense of curiosity.

"And what about this city? Is there absolutely no corruption in this city?"

"Siesta is just a small tourist city now. Although it is indeed valuable as part of the land, it cannot support so many corrupt people. There is one, though... but this person is about to be killed by his own actions."

As Su Rui spoke, she glanced at the street behind her and said, "See? He's already courting death."

Seria immediately became alert, and even though she was holding skewers and lemonade, she still protected Suri by his side.

The security personnel on the street seemed to be chasing someone. Saria watched their hurried movements and was about to ask them when she saw Suri display her scanning vision in Saria's field of vision.

These security personnel are chasing... a doctor?!

Saria immediately put down the skewers and lemonade in her hands, and turned to look at Suri:

What do we do?

"Although it's not exactly a thrilling adventure, it's still interesting with a volcanic eruption as the backdrop. Let's follow the doctor and beat up those guys while we're at it."

As Su Rui spoke, she put all the skewers into her system space: "Luckily I didn't eat that much, or I would have missed it."

Volume 4, Chapter 240: Noon

"Wait a minute, you said a volcanic eruption?" Saria paused for a moment, then grabbed Suri.

"They're just background noise. As long as we move quickly, it won't erupt. Let's go!"

Suri urged Saria impatiently; he didn't want to miss out on something like this.

But Saria frowned and reached out to hold Suri down: "You're in charge of liaison and intelligence gathering. Use your electronic control abilities to communicate with us if anything happens. Stay in a safe place."

"Tsk tsk, really... Alright, Saria, activate!"

Suri was somewhat dissatisfied, but he quickly found a way to pass the time by displaying a combat hud in Saria's field of vision.

Saria just smiled. Since this made Suri unhappy, she would just go along with Suri's whims.

Moreover, Su Rui's combat tips were indeed very useful, as they made it easy to avoid the risk of accidentally breaking someone's neck.

According to the markings provided by Suri, Saria could accurately knock the security personnel to the ground with each punch, incapacitating them while minimizing their injuries.

Whenever someone appears in her field of vision, Suri immediately marks the enemy's location and identifies them, so Suri doesn't have to worry about hitting innocent people. Moreover, Suri also marks enemies behind her, allowing Suri to react at any time without having to be wary of those behind her.

Soon, the team following Boston was completely defeated, and even those who came to their aid after seeing the situation was not good were also lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Doctor and Black made eye contact, and after a brief exchange, they decided to have a proper talk.

Saria nodded to the Doctor:

“Suri is helping us gather intelligence. If there are any problems, he can evacuate the city’s residents at any time. Also…Suri said the volcano is about to erupt, but if we act quickly, we can still stop it.”

Saria's words immediately caught Ceylon's attention. The girl looked at Saria: "Really? So, my guess was right! Suri... I feel like I've heard of that name before?"

“Yes, Miss Ceylon, you met Suri when you were climbing the mountain before. He is my fiancé.”

Saria nodded, and although she didn't emphasize the word "Suri" when she mentioned Suri's identity, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Ceylon paused for a moment, then nodded. Subconsciously, she thought of Suri, the handsome young man she had met before... Although they really had nothing to do with each other, and although she hadn't had such thoughts at first, her shattered heart still felt a little disappointed because of it.

However, this was not the time to discuss these things, as Suri's voice from the television interrupted their thoughts:

"I have gathered enough intelligence, so would you like to hear it?"

“Of course.” Saria nodded.

Su Rui then presented the current state of the city and the situation that Saria and the others needed to handle:

"You don't need to worry about the volcanic eruption. I've already contacted Rhodes Island and come out. The root cause is the over-mining of obsidian, as well as the activity of certain special Originium worms inside the volcano caused by obsidian mining. In short, this will be resolved soon."

However, just to be on the safe side, evacuation is still recommended, since even if the situation is resolved, some lava may still leak out.

Just like when milk is about to spill, even if you stop or try to hold it in, it will still have some effect; it's hard to really stop it.

Suri then downplayed the situation regarding the volcano and set it aside:

"Kronin also prepared a bunch of remote-controlled bombs at the volcano. I've already defused them. Those bombs can't be detonated without electronic fuses. What you need to do is arrest Kronin. He has a lot of people under his control."

Suri's information surprised Ceylon and Black. Black's wooden pipe flickered as he recalled seeing Suri before. He never expected that the seemingly harmless handsome boy would have such abilities.

Ceylon was more direct; she leaned closer to the television, carefully watched the content, and subconsciously covered her mouth, letting out a suppressed gasp.

"It's so detailed, it's like seeing every part of the city."

Because Suri had indeed seen every part of the city, she was able to produce this scan.

Saria thought to herself, and after hearing Ceylon's surprised words, she couldn't help but feel proud of Suri, after all, he was her person.

However, Saria's subconscious trust in Suri made her overlook one point: Suri was not a soldier who obeyed orders without question; if he was dissatisfied with someone else's arrangements, he would act on his own.

For example, right now, Suri has taken out her repeating gun, a gift from Talulah. Now, it's time for an adventure.

Having already located Cronin's position by scanning the field of vision, Suri no longer needed to collect clues herself. Incidentally, because she disliked recruiting in the game and because of some games' terrible guidance, Suri often directly modified game items while playing, focusing most of her attention on fighting.

After all, playing games is meant to relax, and requiring mental effort is something that Su Rui finds hard to accept.

Cronin was, of course, at Siesta's City Hall, where he also had his special vehicle for escaping after the deed was done or when things went wrong.

Suri planned to climb over the wall from the side of the city hall and then use the blind spot... Anyway, Suri has already climbed over the wall.

This place, which resembles a parking lot, is where quite a few people are stationed.

However, Terra's rapid-fire gunshots weren't very noticeable, meaning that as long as Suri took them all out before they could react and sound the alarm, the people inside wouldn't know what was going on.

As for communications, Su Rui had already taken control of that aspect, and now they were only hearing the messages Su Rui wanted them to hear.
