Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

Volume 1: Chapter 27 Minor fish are just minor fish

Honeysuckle: "Alright, I'm sorry about what happened before, after all, his personality is rather..."

Honeysuckle's back spirit: "What's wrong with my personality? I'm just a weakling who can't even fight back when being attacked by two opponents. Can't I say something?"

Lappland: "Interesting. Aren't you afraid I'll find out?"

Honeysuckle's spirit said, "If you're so powerful, then find me if you dare."

Lappland: "Being able to connect to Honeysuckle's headphones via the internet and communicate with her, in a place like Syracuse, you must not be far away, right? Finding you won't be difficult. Just wait."

Honeysuckle couldn't help but remind her helplessly, "Alright, Suri, stop teasing them. What if they really come back?"

"They can't just pull me out of your head and beat me up, can they? I don't even know how I did it, how could they possibly do it?"

Suri paid no attention to the concerns in Honeysuckle's words. After all, he had no physical form. What could Lappland or Texas do to deal with him?

Who knows? Maybe anything is possible.

Honeysuckle glanced at her perspective and saw that the materialization process had reached 42% completion, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

"I think that's impossible."

Suri sounded a little dejected, but he quickly cheered up again:

"Alright, it looks like we won't be able to set off tonight, right? Although those two didn't cause much damage, I think you probably won't be able to leave now."

"No, the cleanup and ensuring the family's safety can be left to others. I will still carry out the mission tonight."

Honeysuckle shook her head, then, recalling what Su Rui had said when they met before, she couldn't help but chuckle as she comforted him:

"Don't worry, the Syracuse family isn't so poor that they can't afford the lighting. It won't affect your ability to see what you want to see."

"That would be best. Neither scanning nor infrared vision can fully capture all the features of a person. Visual observation is still the most effective."

Although she had some resentment towards Honeysuckle's plan, Suri did not stop it, but instead began preparations.

“I’ve already searched online for that family’s recent activities, but they haven’t left many traces. The only thing I can see is that their recent transactions seem to have been quite frequent.”

This means they might be making some kind of preparation.

Suri's words further solidified Ren Dong's idea of ​​taking action tonight. After all, although the Syracuse family was generally quite law-abiding most of the time, that was just for show for Madame Sicily.

If everything could be ended before Madame Sicily intervened, the Syracuse family wouldn't mind no matter how outrageous the methods were, and as a member of the family, Honeysuckle deeply understood this.

"However, perhaps to show that they are not a suspect, they are holding a banquet tonight and have invited a lot of people. I found the invitation, so maybe we can sneak in."

'A banquet? In that case, many irrelevant people will sneak in.'

Honeysuckle frowned. If the victims were members of the opposing family, the death of a few less important non-mission targets wouldn't be a big deal. However, if there were outsiders, it would be necessary to make a careful judgment.

'No, actually, they probably anticipated we would take action, and that's why they wanted to use the banquet to mislead us.'

"Do you know how to use firearms? We can just blow their patriarch's head off while he's speaking."

'Unfortunately, I'm not skilled in Originium Arts and can't use firearms.'

"That's a real shame. What about explosives? I think explosives are pretty good too."

'It might hurt the invited guests in the stands, which is inappropriate.'

Ren Dong rejected Su Rui's idea, and to stop him from continuing his daydreaming, Ren Dong couldn't help but speak up:

'Alright, let's get ready to go. Don't overthink it, just like when we infiltrated the Midar family, right?'

"I don't care, but I always feel that simply infiltrating is a bit too old-fashioned."

Has Suri already grown tired of this method after only doing it once with Honeysuckle?

They really are fickle.

Honeysuckle's lips twitched, but she didn't say much. She simply tidied up her equipment, put on her sword, took out the invitation printed by Su Rui from the printer, and went to the garage.

“I forged your invitation. Now you’re a famous model in the fashion world, so those guards definitely won’t recognize you easily. We can just blend in.”

'I know, but what if someone recognizes me?'

"I'll mark them in your field of vision. You can find a lot of information online, and I can access their cameras. People who might spot you will be marked with a small white dot above their heads. Just keep an eye out for them."

"Hmm." Honeysuckle nodded, then realized: "You can access the camera? Then, can you turn the camera around?"

“Most cameras are fixed. I can interfere with the camera’s view, but if they don’t have a turning function, there’s nothing I can do.”

Suri shrugged in Ren Dong's mind: "Besides, Syracuse is damp and cold, and the circuits here are prone to problems. Even if it really has a bottom-turn function, it's probably already worn out."

'is that so?'

"To be honest, I didn't expect there wouldn't be too many energy failures in this kind of weather. It just goes to show how ridiculous the so-called Originium is. A lot of your technology seems a bit... too crude."

'Do you possess some advanced technology?'

"Of course not, but with my current computing power, I can directly design better weapons."

For example?

"Give me the money, and I'll build you an electromagnetic cannon that can destroy an entire mobile city with a single shot."

'No, I don't need that kind of weapon, and besides, the cost of such a weapon is beyond what a family could afford, right?'

"Indeed, based solely on the current energy conversion efficiency, the energy from firing one shot is enough to move a city for three months."

'Let's get practical. Are there any technologies that can be directly used to improve my combat effectiveness?'

"Yes, I do have some, but I don't have any on hand."

'Does that mean it doesn't exist?'

“I don’t have and I don’t have are two completely different things.”

'Can't you access the internet?'

"I know, but my monitoring range is only one mobile city. If the area is not connected to the network, I will not be able to reach it."

Volume 1: Chapter 28 The Crimson Banquet is About to Begin

In reality, Ren Dong didn't expect Su Rui to come up with any technology to enhance her combat power; for her, her current strength was sufficient.

Using weapons that far surpass those of competitors rashly will only incite competition and lead to more chaos.

Honeysuckle was just teasing Suri, but after the topic ended, Suri still couldn't forget the plan he had mentioned at the beginning.

"Tell me, is there any way to actually build the electromagnetic cannon I'm talking about? I've prepared the design blueprints and schematics, and it can be directly integrated with Terra's existing technology, so we can just build it directly."

'This is dangerous, Suri. It's best not to bring out technology far ahead of its time in Terra.'

Even though Honeysuckle is an assassin, she could see how terrifying the weapon Su Rui had taken out was; the appearance of such a weapon would inevitably cause chaos.

But Suri was still conflicted about it: "Of course I know we can't do it all at once. We can design something else first, like a cool mecha."

Then several more design drawings appeared before Honeysuckle's eyes: "A single-person piloted mech, about thirty meters tall, capable of carrying many weapons, with incredibly powerful combat capabilities and near-perpetual endurance, isn't that amazing?"

'...It's best if this kind of weapon doesn't appear in Terra.'

Just one glance was enough to give Honeysuckle a headache: 'If this kind of weapon appeared in Terra, my assassination skills would become a joke.'

"Huh? Then forget it, at least for now, I'd better not think about it. But even with a mecha, you can still infiltrate and assassinate, right?"

With such a weapon, is there still a need for petty assassinations?

Honeysuckle's question made Su Rui pause for a moment, then he nodded: "You're right. If I built such a weapon, I would directly become an enemy of the entire world, and then I would single-handedly defeat the entire world."

Suri was talking nonsense again. Ren Dong smiled and felt much more relaxed. At least he had given up on the idea of ​​actually building that kind of outrageous weapon.

Arriving at the banquet venue in a car driven by a female chauffeur, I presented the invitation prepared by Su Rui and, after being checked by the greeters, naturally walked into the rival's family compound.

'Are all those white dots in my field of vision people who know me? There are way too many.'

"Who do you think you are? Even though you're an assassin, you're practically a family heir, right? You must be attracting a lot of attention."

Su Rui casually suggested a route: "This route leads to the kitchen, so we can grab something to eat while we're there?"

I'm not hungry right now.

Honeysuckle instinctively declined, but considering Suri's personality: 'Eating a little bit is no problem.'

"That's right. The pastries here should taste pretty good. You don't need to worry. I can guarantee they're not poisonous. I've scanned them all. The only possibility is that you poisoned someone else."

'Thank you so much.'

"Speaking of which, Syracuse is really strange. A group of people who know each other are carrying out assassinations, and they all know that the other party may assassinate them at any time. Under such circumstances, how can you maintain a superficial stability?"

'That Sicilian woman has contributed greatly to the current stability of Syracuse.'

"So what was Syracuse like before? Was it a place where people looted, burned, and vandalized in the streets, and where the Mafia fought each other at will?"

"It's not that exaggerated... at least not as frequent as you say. To maintain their current and future interests, both sides try their best not to disrupt people's lives."

"I think the gang warfare itself makes it impossible for people to live a normal life."

Honeysuckle just smiled. Syracuse is like that; its chaos can be explained in a sentence or two, but the problem cannot be solved.

Soon, following the passage provided by Su Rui, Ren Dong arrived at the direction of the kitchen.

Although it was a bit odd for someone to be dressed as a guest in the kitchen, the waiters didn't notice Honeysuckle.

Or rather, even in the kitchen, there aren't many chefs here.

"There's no chef cooking."

'At this kind of banquet, there won't be any hot dishes that will lose their flavor once they've cooled down.'

Honeysuckle smiled, casually picked up a piece of chocolate, popped it into her mouth, and continued walking outside.

'Shouldn't we go find the head of this family next?'

"Yes, he has quite a few guards around him. You probably won't be able to kill him without anyone noticing, unless you have excellent throwing skills."

'No need. This time, his bodyguards will die with him.'

Honeysuckle touched the hidden weapon, her tone icy, after all, it was already considered a "declaration of war".

This is not like the minor conflict with the Midar family last time; even at a banquet, they intend to take his life.

"That's great!"

Su Rui let out a cheer, and then highlighted the figure of the other family head in red in Ren Dong's vision, as well as the positions of the bodyguards around him.

"They're not at the meeting place now, but wandering around the family compound instead?"

'Perhaps he never intended to give a speech; he simply held a banquet and invited guests here.'

Ren Dong smiled and chose the route that best suited her from the several options provided by Su Rui.

Passing through a corridor that guests usually wouldn't enter, avoiding everyone's gaze, they arrived at what was truly the family's inner area, where Honeysuckle temporarily hid in a small room.

"I will directly jam their cameras to ensure that you won't appear in them."

Why didn't you use it last time?

"Because that would be too overpowered in the game, and it would take away the fun."

'Then why are you helping me like this now?'

Perhaps it was because their relationship had grown closer that Suri was more concerned about her safety than the so-called "rules of the game".

A smile involuntarily crept onto Ren Dong's lips, and then she heard Su Rui say:

"Because we're about to go on a killing spree, which is much more fun than assassinating according to the rules. At this time, it's all about being invincible and killing indiscriminately!"

The smile on his lips vanished, and Ren Dong nodded expressionlessly. He was just being stubborn; in reality, Su Rui definitely cared about my safety, and since he had already told me that, he was probably just saying it to tease me.

Although she was making excuses for Su Rui's words and actions in her mind, Ren Dong, as an assassin, also had a very good memory.

She decided to write this down and settle the score with him once Su Rui's physical form was complete.

With this thought in mind, Ren Dong glanced at the materialization progress, which was stuck at 42%, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

After this massacre, the materialization progress should be even higher, right?

Volume 1: Chapter 29 Perfect Infiltration

This time, the opponents that Suri and Rendong face are not easy to avoid, and the difficulty is completely different from that of the Midar family before.

The Midar family was caught off guard last time because they didn't expect the Venetian family to act so quickly. This time, the family clearly understands that what they are doing is dangerous.
