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

Cough cough, don't laugh, Su Rui will notice if you laugh.

Talulah suppressed a laugh and, with the aid of her high-speed camouflage, quickly located the Shield Guards, who were marching in formation like moving hills, and the tallest of them all, Bozokasti.

"Hello, Mr. Patriot."

Talulah stood some distance away from Bozokasti and spoke slowly.

The shield guards immediately became alert, and even though they had only heard the sound, they quickly lined up and assumed a defensive stance.

Talulah also appeared after Suri removed her camouflage, showing her hands that were not holding the sword blade to express her goodwill.

"I have no ill intentions; I just want to cooperate with you."

"...Who are you?"

The towering Wendigo looked down at Talulah in front of him, questioning the girl who had suddenly appeared before him.

Hmm... the negotiation process was boring, basically just repeating the same things over and over. In the end, Talulah showed her identity and sincerity, and told Bodracas the addresses of several black mines, letting him go and verify them himself.

Once the matter is completed, a basic level of trust between the two parties will be established.

"That's why I hate backstabbing and intrigue. It's so troublesome and not fun at all."

Suri was yawning as she watched Talulah's conversation with Bozokasti in her mind.

Fortunately, Talulah encountered another character, a white-haired girl from Katus, who, despite wearing a thick coat, still exuded a chilling aura.

"Look what I found! A white rabbit."

Suri's voice came from Frostnova's pocket, which immediately alerted her. She looked at Talulah in front of her and instinctively gripped the weapon at her waist.

Talulah didn't seem to mind, and casually explained:

"This is Su Rui. He has the ability to use electronic devices. I was able to find this place thanks to his help."

Froststar took out the walkie-talkie from her pocket with some doubt and examined it carefully, but she couldn't see anything.

"Staring at the walkie-talkie won't do you any good, since I'm not actually inside it anyway. By the way, can you touch your ear?"

"..."

Frostnova cast a questioning glance at Talulah, and her grip on her weapon loosened involuntarily.

Although this ability to hack into electronic devices is terrifying, Suri's impression on her is really... like a playful little kid?

“Suri can’t reach your ear through the walkie-talkie, so don’t worry.”

Talulah glanced at Frostnova's puzzled look but didn't explain further.

Anyway, only she can have contact with Su Rui alone, so what does it matter what Froststar thinks?

However, Talulah is now somewhat helpless. The composed demeanor that Suri had when they first met has completely disappeared after spending time with her.

However, this is a good thing. Talulah can see that Suri has at least begun to trust her and no longer feels uncomfortable around her.

Froststar, meanwhile, looked at the walkie-talkie and smiled.

"Okay, if you can come over, I'll let you touch my ears."

However, Suri has no physical form and cannot come over.

Talulah looked away, afraid that she would burst out laughing, otherwise it would be too unserious, which would be inappropriate from any perspective.

Volume 2, Chapter 83: Arguments and Agreements

Fortunately, Suri didn't notice Talulah's expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to, because he was already captivated by Frostnova's smile.

The girl's smile was like a snow lotus blooming alone on a snow-capped mountain peak, pure and beautiful, making people want to look at her a few more times.

So Suri said, "What are you laughing at? Dare to touch your own ear? I can touch it!"

"I don't believe it." Froststar smiled and dismissed Su Rui's little scheme with a single word.

"Tsk, you wouldn't dare."

"Yes, I dare not."

"...You really don't dare?"

"What do you say?"

Suri rolled her eyes in exasperation and muttered in Talulah's mind, "Fine, I can't do anything about her."

What were you originally planning to do?

Talulah couldn't resist her curiosity. "Trick her into touching her own ear, then laugh at her, and take a picture of it. If it looks good, send it to your phone to show her."

...Isn't that a bit too childish? Talulah couldn't help but smile.

However, by this time, after spending time with Frostnova, the guerrillas had returned, especially Bozogastie. The Gundam's mere approach attracted the attention of Frostnova and Talulah.

Frostnova quickly stood up, glanced at Talulah, and then nervously looked at Bodracasti:

"How's it going? She...they weren't lying, were they?" Frostnova changed her tune, seemingly remembering Suri's presence.

"Ah."

The tall figure nodded and looked at Talulah: "The intelligence is completely consistent."

Although Bozokasti's speech was intermittent due to his throat condition, Su Rui could understand his meaning and immediately stood up, expressing her dissatisfaction through Frostnova's walkie-talkie:

"What are you thinking? I collected all this intelligence myself, there's absolutely no mistake. How could I possibly have arranged this to scheme against you?! If I wanted to scheme against you, I would have surrounded you with my men!"

“And…” Su Rui had barely finished speaking when Froststar turned off the power to the walkie-talkie.

Unable to use physically powered-off electronic devices, Su Rui had to temporarily go offline.

Froststar blushed and put away the walkie-talkie, then introduced it to Bozokasti:

“That was Suri, Talulah’s partner. He must be the one who gathered the intelligence.”

Bozokastie nodded slowly, his hoarse voice asking in confusion, "...A child?"

“I’m a reliable adult!” Suri’s voice came from Talulah’s pocket this time.

Talulah quickly coughed lightly, interrupting Suri before he could start arguing with Bodracas:

"Well, Mr. Bozocasti, I have proven my goodwill and credibility. You can also send people to my territory to see that those laws are not only in my territory, but soon, the same laws will be implemented in the territories of other nobles."

"But what's the difference between those laws and the domestication of livestock?"

Frostnova's expression was somewhat complicated, and at this point, Suri became even more unhappy:

"Why does everyone have to criticize this law? Don't they understand the principle of gradual implementation? If I had implemented a more preferential policy from the beginning, the law would never have been able to be implemented, and those infected wouldn't even have the conditions they have now!"

Su Rui himself knew that the conditions were rather poor. It was one thing in front of others, but in front of people who were really fighting for the infected, his momentum couldn't help but weaken a little.

"Moreover... we'll help send over any guys with backbone. It's a kind of selection process. Those who are willing to die a cowardly life can at least live a slightly better life, while those who are willing to resist don't care about those little benefits."

Froststar clearly wanted to say something, but upon hearing Suri's tone, her expression turned somewhat strange, and she remained silent.

Talulah noticed that Frostnova's hand was fiddling with something in her pocket. Was she thinking about Suri?

However, that's not the point right now. Talulah looked up at Bodracasti:

"Well? Now all we need is your nod, and our cooperation can be finalized."

"Okay, but if you don't comply, we can withdraw at any time."

Talulah nodded, having anticipated from the beginning that getting Bozokasti to agree wouldn't be easy, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least this way, the plan can actually be implemented.

Next came the matter of the supplies they had brought. Just as Talulah was about to speak, she heard Suri's voice in her mind:

How about I speak?

'No problem, how do you plan to say it?' Talulah had no objection to Suri's request, but she was a little worried that Suri's way of speaking was a bit...not serious.

"Don't worry, I'm very reliable when it comes to these kinds of things."

Suri cleared her throat and borrowed Talulah's phone to speak:

"Now that the agreement has been reached, I have one more condition to add."

"What are the conditions?" Frostnova spoke first, perhaps to spare Bodrakasti's voice.

"Hmph~ I can provide a large amount of supplies, right now, including weapons, medical supplies, clothing, and food, in exchange..."

What do you want?

Froststar became serious, her eyes turning earnest. Although the negotiations had settled many things, in Froststar's view, they were not as important as the topic Su Rui was discussing now.

The agreed-upon help and information will only be useful later, but the supplies can be put to use now.

After all, the guerrillas were indeed severely lacking in various supplies.

Suri deliberately kept everyone in suspense, and then, under the watchful eyes of Bodrakasti, Frostnova, and Talulah, said:

"I want to see the face under the Bozokasti mask."

“…Huh?” Even Talulah couldn’t help but show a surprised expression. She thought Suri would ask for an exorbitant amount.

“What’s so surprising?” Suri said in Talulah’s mind:

"Didn't we agree that these supplies would be an investment in them? Did you expect a guerrilla force with nothing to produce some kind of treasure? If they had a treasure, they wouldn't be in this state of running out of ammunition and food."

"I just didn't expect you to make such a request after keeping us in suspense for so long."

Talulah silently looked away, and Frostnova had a similar expression of surprise, though she was slightly better at it.

Frostnova turned her gaze to Bozokasti, wanting to say, "That's it?" But she was hesitant about something as important as supplies.

Volume 2, Chapter 84: Wuhu, Gundam!

Bozokastie laughed instead, a very cheerful laugh.

Although Suri could hear the joy in his voice, his throat was hoarse from the sound of the Originium, and his normally normal laughter sounded somewhat frightening.

Finally, Bozokas stopped laughing and slowly said, "Are you sure? Don't be scared."

Froststar couldn't help but look at Bozokasti with a strange gaze. This tone felt like he was talking to her when she was a child, and it seemed even more doting than when he was talking to her.

Froststar couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, and pouted slightly.

However, Su Rui did not notice Bo Zhuokast's tone, because he was still pondering Bo Zhuokast's words.

"Of course, I'm a reliable adult, I won't be scared."

Bozokastie chuckled again, reached out and grabbed his mask, slowly taking it off.

A terrifying face appeared behind the mask. The Wendigo's face had no outer skin; their bones were directly exposed, and their scarlet eyes and muscles were also exposed, combined with their already imposing physique.

Even Frostnova and Talulah couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

Fortunately, both girls were worldly-wise; they just stared wide-eyed but weren't frightened.

Su Rui fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until Bodracus took the mask away and put it back on his face that Frostnova and Talulah regained their attention on Suri.

Seeing Frostnova's worried look, Talulah also asked with concern:

"Su Rui? Are you alright?"

"It's okay... He's so handsome."

Suri's voice rang in Talulah's mind, as if he were feeling shy, and he didn't use Talulah's phone.

However, after speaking with Talulah, in order to prove that she was alright, Suri used Talulah's phone to make a sound:

"Alright, the agreement has been reached. Here are the supplies you requested."

As Suri spoke, he neatly placed the supplies that Talulah had prepared directly on the open ground in front of Talulah and Frostnova.

There was so much stuff that Bozokasti's figure was completely obscured.

"I'll arrange for someone to sort it out right away."

Frostnova stared blankly at the large amount of supplies in front of her for a moment, then looked at Bozokasti. After receiving his nod of approval, she began to call for help.
