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

In non-combat mode, Bozokasti's movement speed is still normal, only his steps are a bit larger than those of an ordinary person.

Frostnova caught up with Bodracasti in a very short time, and casually threw a snowball on his shoulder to attract Bodracasti's attention.

"Yelena? You..."

Sensing someone behind him, Bozokas turned around and was surprised to see Frostnova following behind him. Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Frostnova with her arms crossed, looking to the side with her face turned to the side:

"Suri said you seem to be going to see an old friend? He said it would be more appropriate for me to go with you."

That's true. Letting an old friend meet his adopted daughter is a good idea. However, there's one thing Bozokas is unsure about:

“Then, Suri…”

"I won't show up directly, since I don't know Hrag and I just happened to find his information."

As Suri spoke, she remained silent and stopped talking. Instead, she showed Talulah the scene of Bodrakasti and Frostnova acting together.

Furthermore, Talulah has one more thing to do: "Although I know you're very strong and capable of escaping from here, for the sake of the plot, you'll have to play the role of a prisoner~"

Suri whispered in Talulah's ear, then showed her the route again: "Now, let's go back to the hotel. Alina is still waiting for you there. She doesn't know much about our plan, and she might be terrified."

"Wasn't she wearing headphones? Didn't I tell her what happened?"

Talulah wasn't worried about Suri's alarmist talk, because she knew Suri well enough to know what he was thinking.

"Of course."

Suri casually remarked, her tone somewhat smug: "I certainly won't forget this. In fact, Alina stayed safely in her room, and because of my request, the Reunion Movement team didn't make any rash moves; they just took control of the hotel."

In other words, Talulah will also need to be controlled when she returns. Although she will certainly be treated well as a duke, she will still be unable to escape her status as a prisoner.

Although there were no informants to bypass the surveillance and observation of the Serpent Scales and the Inner Guards to record Talulah's actions, and it was absurd to try to find intelligence through the internet, one should do things completely.

Talulah quickly returned to her room after noticing the sentries following her, and was subsequently placed under house arrest in the suite. However, neither she nor Alina were nervous, as this was all part of the plan.

Sitting on the soft bed, rubbing the soft sheets beneath her in the warm room, Talulah chatted with Alina for a few moments. Then, she happened to see the system's materialization progress in the corner of her vision. For some reason, it had already increased to thirty-seven percent.

What's going on? Talulah was stunned. She didn't have time to continue chatting with Alina for a moment. She stared intently at the system's materialization progress in her field of vision and thought carefully.

What exactly happened? Suri hasn't been doing anything particularly fun with me lately, has she?

Talulah has discovered that the materialization progress of this song system only increases when Suri's impression of her improves, but why is it suddenly increasing so fast?

I remember when I first arrived in Chernobog, the system's materialization progress was only in the single digits, right?

Talulah didn't understand. At this moment, asking Suri would be the simplest and most direct way, so she carefully chose her words and then asked tactfully:

"Su Rui, has anything happy happened recently?"

"Of course!" Suri cheered as soon as she heard this: "I almost forgot to tell you, but the Reunion Movement's attack last night was so much fun!"

As Suri spoke, she displayed a video in Talulah's field of vision, but did not play it immediately. She only showed Talulah the cover and introduced it as follows:

"If it weren't for your support, I probably wouldn't have been able to experience something so amazing!"

As Suri spoke, Talulah turned her gaze to the video in front of her. Could it be that this had improved Suri's impression of her?

Talulah was a little confused, but she nodded nonetheless and urged, "Then let me see what happened."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll share this video with Alina as well."

As Suri spoke, Alina looked at the video cover in front of her. Just from the cover, she could tell that the perspective was a bit high, probably from the viewpoint of some vehicle or from the perspective of some tall individual.

As Talulah guessed, Suri had already shared the video to Alina's phone in the blink of an eye and started playing it.

The video content is, of course, a video of Suri "driving" the Bozocasti in battle last night. Although there were no evenly matched opponents for him to fight a proper, entertaining battle, this crushing massacre was still quite impressive.

Talulah, however, was very concerned about one thing: what Suri said at the beginning of the video:

"Main systems, combat mode activated!"

Judging from his tone alone, Talulah could tell that Suri was happy. It seemed that he really liked this kind of thing. Talulah was still figuring out exactly what it was. In any case, Bozokas was tall and imposing, and, frighteningly, he was also wearing heavy armor.

Is this Suri's aesthetic sense?

Talulah's gaze was fixed on the battle in the video, but she was not attracted by Bodrakasti's gorgeous and technologically advanced equipment and tactical movements. Instead, she listened attentively to the tips and cheers that Suri gave to Bodrakasti during the battle.

Suri was really happy. Although she should be happy about this, and the progress of the system's materialization was also something to be happy about, Talulah was a little unhappy at the moment.

Because the improvement in the system's physicalization progress was actually due to Bozhuokasti, Su Rui's impression of her, or rather, her increased favorability, was just a side effect.

Suri was thanking her for letting someone else take him to experience something fun... which made Talulah very unhappy.

"Talulah, what's wrong? You seem a little unhappy? Don't you like this? I think Bozokasti is really handsome in this."

Suri noticed that Talulah seemed to be in a bad mood, so she stopped the video in front of her and asked her with concern.

Volume 2, Chapter 100: Talulah: No, I need to find out.

"It's nothing." Talulah felt a warmth in her heart from Suri's concern, then looked up and smiled at Suri.

"I'm just a little sad. After all this time, I don't think I really understand your interests..."

As she spoke, Talulah deliberately adopted a self-pitying expression.

Talulah, possessing the long memories and knowledge of the Black Serpent, was certainly not weak. She had simply discovered that Suri was gentle towards Alina, this timid girl, and also trusted Frostnova, who had illnesses and weaknesses, often helping her.

In other words, Su Rui is a very soft-hearted person. As long as you show weakness, you can make Su Rui worry, and then... you can lie to him.

Talulah chuckled inwardly, but outwardly maintained a somewhat sad expression, staring at the empty air before her:

"Suri, just how much do you like Bozokasti?"

"You mean this... First of all, it's definitely not the kind of liking that comes with a close relationship; it's an appreciation of beauty."

Suri emphasized this point first. Although he didn't understand why Talulah was suddenly in a bad mood, he had nothing to hide about it.

"My fondness for Bozocasti ultimately stems from the fact that, as a man, I like things that are full of power, like big ships and giant cannons!"

As Suri spoke, he showed Talulah photos of tanks, ships, and even fighter jets.

These things don't exist in Terra; they were shown to Talulah by Suri based on her own memories.

Of course, Terran isn't without its interesting and cool features, such as magnificent mobile cities and landships.

After presenting these photos, Suri continued her explanation:

"Then, as a result of the fondness for these steel behemoths and an extension of the self, a new concept was proposed: the humanoid mecha."

As Suri spoke, photos of exoskeletons, some as tall as humans or only two or three meters high, were shown to Talulah:

"Looks cool, right? Actually, there are even cooler ones!"

Talulah listened silently to Suri's increasingly excited tone, and then saw the last set of pictures Suri showed.

The humanoid mechs, or rather, humanoid mechs, are thirty meters tall. Humans look as insignificant as ants in their presence.

These steel structures possess unimaginable power; standing in front of the building, their mere presence exudes an unparalleled sense of oppression.

Talulah roughly understood Suri's hobby and nodded: "...Are these mechs even possible?"

"Of course! In fact, I have the design drawings and the complete technical production line here!"

Suri's tone became even happier: "Why not give it a try? Terra's materials science is quite good. In about two or three years, I can develop the complete technology and build such a cool mech!"

Moreover, Talulah truly has the wealth and power to execute this plan, and Suri thinks she would probably like something like this.

"...Could we try something like an exoskeleton first? Or, other weapons are too overkill for Terra right now."

Becoming the target of public criticism is not a wise thing to do, and Talulah's current goal is still to secure a place for the infected.

So, from the set of photos that Suri showed her, she selected one of the exoskeleton types.

It's less of an exoskeleton and more of a high-tech armor.

Only the chest and limbs are armored; in reality, it looks more like a nice piece of clothing.

"You mean this kind? That's fine too. This kind of armor is easier to make."

Suri felt a little regretful, but she didn't force Talulah to do so; instead, she nodded.

"However, some preparation is needed to make it; I need workers and a factory."

"Of course, we'll have these once we return to the duchy."

Talulah nodded. After learning about Suri's hobbies, her wariness of Bozokasti disappeared.

Because Talulah is now certain that Suri prefers combinations of steel and technology, rather than any specific person.

This feeling doesn't develop into love, so it poses no threat.

With that thought in mind, Talulah was momentarily dazed when she saw Suri close all the photos and open a new one.

It was Talulah's own; Suri created her 3D model directly and then designed an exoskeleton for her.

It's actually more like a skirt armor. The exoskeleton still allows Talulah to show her appearance, because the helmet has been replaced with a laurel crown. In fact, this skirt armor shows off her figure even more than her military uniform.

“This armor…” Talulah’s tone was somewhat complicated, but Suri was very proud:

"Don't let the armor's flashy appearance fool you. The laurel wreath is actually a force field generator that can create a shield field to help you withstand damage. The exoskeleton can also amplify your strength while protecting you from damage."

And most importantly, this armor can fly! And it even has floating cannons!

As Suri spoke, she demonstrated what the 3D model looked like when it came to life. Several fist-sized, scale-shaped drones, or floating cannons, flew out from under Talulah's skirt armor. They attacked at a high frequency, and just by looking at their disguises, you could tell that they were also very destructive.

Last but not least, behind Talulah, who is clad in armor, wings similar to Sarkaz's jet-like wings can be generated, allowing Talulah to perform rapid flight maneuvers using light wings.

"Is this really okay?"

Seeing herself in the 3D model flying rapidly propelled by the armor, Talulah became somewhat worried about her physical abilities.

"Don't worry, even if you break the speed of sound, you will be fine because the force field inside the armor balances the blood flow and normal physiological activities in your body, so you won't feel uncomfortable."

As Suri spoke, she demonstrated a sharp-angle turn at supersonic speeds and Talulah's physiological activity while performing these maneuvers.

"Everything's fine. How about it? My design, isn't it great?"

"Hmm... researching such powerful weapons, what kind of opponents do you have?"

Talulah nodded, but the question she uttered made Suri pause for a moment before falling into deep thought.

Just as Talulah was worried about Suri's feelings and wanted to comfort her, she heard Suri slowly say these words:

"Of course it's for fighting, it's exhilarating!"

She shouldn't have worried about Suri's thoughts, Talulah thought.

I need to catch up on all the lessons in Volume 2, Chapter 101!

Although Suri's exoskeleton design is very cool, every detail is very suitable for Talulah Drak's identity and physical characteristics.

But that's not what Talulah needs to think about right now.

Because she was a key bargaining chip, as Duke Talulah, she was separated from the other nobles by the Reunion Movement and imprisoned separately, while being locked up with the students.

"Remember to take Alina with you. She's with you, after all, so you should take her with you, right?"

Seeing Frostnova coming to escort Talulah, Su Rui couldn't help but laugh and reminded Talulah in her mind.

'Hmm...I understand.'

Talulah nodded helplessly, looked at Frostnova who was expressionless but whose eyes actually held a hint of amusement, and stated her request in a businesslike manner:

“I can accept your imprisonment, but my friend wants to come with me. She lives next door to me and her name is Alina.”

"Let's take a look."

Frostnova looked at the Yeti squad members beside her and gestured to them with her eyes.

The two sides were only enemies on the surface but allies in reality, so the inspection of Talulah was just a formality.

Soon, Talulah and Alina were taken together to a large campus where students had gathered.

"It's quite spacious here, no wonder there's a school that can accommodate all the students in Chernoborg... However, it's a bit of an exaggeration. Those nobles are really something else. A noble school can hold all the students in the city and it doesn't even feel crowded."

Su Rui opened her scanning field of vision, displaying the situation of the campus in front of her:

"However, with the Reunion Movement managing things, the students didn't have any conflicts, and they even had a certain degree of freedom... What are these students doing?"

Su Rui noticed the students huddled together freely on the playground from his scanning field of vision. His tone immediately changed, and he even shifted Talulah's perspective and marked the spot.

From Su Rui's perspective, the two students appear to be debating, at least for now.

The students, divided into two factions, each sent a representative to express their opinions and refute the opposing viewpoints.
