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

"Although the internet is very convenient, it doesn't diminish people's desire to collect things, does it?"

Listening to Suri's complaints through her earphones, Theresa reached out and gently pinched Suri's cheek: "So, what's next? Shall we go back and rest?"

As she spoke, Theresa's tone became more expectant, and she looked intently at Suri.

"...Since we're so close, there's no need to beat around the bush when it comes to what you want to do."

Suri glanced at Theresa, but did not nod in agreement as Theresa had hoped:

"At least I can't rest now. The banshees are almost here, and I have to keep my promise to provide them with the tapes. I have to do what I promised... even though I was planning to slack off for a day."

Suri stretched lazily on the table, stood up listlessly, waved to Theresa with her back turned, and his voice came through the earphones:

"Alright, if you want to rest, go ahead and rest. I also need to talk to Kroos about something. After all, tapes can be sold for money, and Kroos should be interested. I need to set up a production line that is fully automated from production to recording, which will save a lot of trouble."

Theresa blinked, and instead of going back to rest, she naturally followed Suri: "As far as I know, even factories in other countries of Terra cannot achieve complete machine control."

“You’re right, but I only need Kroos to occasionally oversee the production line.”

Suri didn't turn his head or make a sound. Ever since Theresa put on the headphones, he hadn't been very willing to make a sound. Was it because he was lazy? Or did Suri like this kind of discreet communication?

Theresa didn't ask directly, but simply smiled and followed beside Suri, watching him slowly walk towards the direction where Kroos was.

Seeing that Theresa was about to catch up, Suri took the opportunity to activate the scanning vision of her round-framed glasses, which she had already put on, and directly showed the route they were going to take: "Kroos is currently taking a nap in her little shop. Judging from Kari's appearance, she seems to have stayed up a long time ago and should have just fallen asleep."

"Shall we let Kroos get a good night's sleep and get up to prepare tomorrow?"

"Of course not."

Suri shook her head, rejecting Theresa's suggestion: "Besides, the banshees will probably arrive tomorrow. If we start preparing tomorrow, it will be too late. If we start now, even if we don't have enough, we can use the guise of scarcity marketing to wait for more to be produced later. But if we start preparing tomorrow, the output will be too small."

Suri glanced at Theresa behind him, and her voice came through the earpiece: "And this too." Suri took out a stack of LMD from his system space; "And this as well." Suri also took out a few Originium Ingots.

"With these, Kroos will not hesitate at all and will agree to my request immediately. In fact, she would not even agree to rest if I asked her to. Do you believe me?"

Theresa smiled subtly, saying nothing, but her intuition told her that Suri was right.

Soon, they arrived at Kroos's little shop. Suri gently pushed open the door, and Theresa behind him couldn't help but show a look of relief.

"What kind of look is that?" Suri's displeased voice came through the earpiece again, and she turned to glare at Theresa.

"I don't kick the door every time, okay? The little cat egg roll was just trying to show off; normally I open and close the door properly!"

"Yes, Suri, you're right."

Seeing Theresia's dismissive smile, Suri rolled her eyes in annoyance and turned to walk back to her room.

Kroos was sitting at the cashier's counter in the small shop, her neck tilted back, her mouth slightly open, and drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Through her scanning vision, Suri noticed that Theresa seemed to want to say something while looking at Cloosir, so before she could think of anything or start speaking, Suri stepped forward, patted Cloosir on the shoulder, and whispered in her ear:

"Kroos, wake up! There's money to be made!"

"There's money to be made?!"

Kroos was still a little dazed, but upon hearing Suri's voice, she immediately sat up with a start.

Prince of Kazdel: 338 Want to easily earn two hundred?

Theresa glanced at Suri with a hint of helplessness, knowing that Suri had discovered her thoughts.

However, Theresa didn't have much to say at the moment, so she decided to browse around Kroos's shop. After all, with the perspective provided by her glasses and headphones, she could find out what Suri and Kroos were talking about.

Therefore, Kroos didn't find Theresa, but after regaining consciousness, she only saw Suri.

Suri smiled at Kroos: "I have an easy way to make money, do you want to know?"

In the dead of night, Suri suddenly appeared in front of her and told her about an easy way to make money, which made it hard for Kroos not to overthink things.

The girl's cheeks flushed instantly, and she looked at Su Rui with a slightly hesitant expression: "Really? How much exactly?"

Suri could tell from her expression that Kroos was definitely overthinking things, but he was too lazy to correct her, and instead gave a meaningful smile:

"That depends on your performance. You might only earn a few hundred thousand, but you could earn millions or even more!"

"That's great? Big boss~" Kroos's eyes lit up, and now she was really considering it.

Not far away, Theresa, browsing between the shelves, felt somewhat helpless and continued to focus her attention on the goods in front of her. Although she knew that Suri didn't mean it that way, watching Suri flirt with other girls made Theresa feel a little uncomfortable.

After a moment of averted gaze, Kroos said shyly, "You want to do @ with me, right?"

“…No, I have a business deal I want to discuss with you.” Suri feigned surprise.

Kroos quickly suppressed her expectant expression and coughed, "Um, I was just joking. So, Suri, you're coming over so late, is there some big business to discuss?"

"Hmm, I need a tape production line, and it has to be the kind of tapes with pre-recorded content. I've already taken care of the content issue; you just need to help me set up the production line. This needs to be done quickly, since someone will be buying them tomorrow."

As Suri spoke, she placed her phone in front of Kroos. Inside were Suri's plans for the production line, as well as the selling price and packaging design.

"I've already designed everything. All you need to do is follow my plan step by step."

As Suri spoke, she pulled Kroos up from her seat:

"Alright, hurry up, this is a really profitable project, and I can give you 30% of the profits afterwards."

"Okay! But why only 30%?" Kroos agreed excitedly, eager to follow behind Su Rui and show off her skills, but she couldn't help but have this question.

"What else did you think? I prepared the design, the plan, and the content. The intellectual property rights and copyrights are mine. You're just helping me manufacture it. Giving you 30% is already out of consideration for our friendship."

Kroos nodded with a grin, "Okay, I got it~"

This guy knew from the beginning that what Su Rui said made sense; she was just deliberately testing Su Rui. What a shrewd and greedy guy.

Suri couldn't resist teasing Kroos in retaliation, so while heading to Rhodes Island's manufacturing facility to prepare the production line, Suri glanced at Kroos:

"Speaking of which, what you mentioned before... why did you think of that kind of thing?"

"Huh? Haha, well, you see, it's the dead of night, and you suddenly show up at my door, talking about some easy way to make money. Isn't that the only kind of thing you can do?"

Kroos smiled somewhat awkwardly: "But now the misunderstanding is cleared up, isn't it? You're practically my lucky charm! Speaking of which, how did you know someone would want to buy the tapes? Do you have some kind of business acumen that I don't know about?"

"No, it's because I finalized the business deal with someone else before I came up with this production plan. To be honest, the timing of my arrangement was actually a bit late, since the people who want to buy are already coming soon."

After thinking for a moment, Suri told Kroos about the banshees:

"Let me put it this way, I made a pact with the sirens. I will provide them with a large number of stories and songs from ancient texts, which I will retell, and the sirens will stand by our side and work for us."

"Wow~" Kroos was stunned for a while before she let out such an exclamation, then said somewhat dejectedly, "So that's how it is. I thought there was some special method to discover business opportunities."

"Don't overthink it. There aren't that many effective methods. If there were a way to succeed, why are there so many ordinary people?"

Suri patted Kroos on the shoulder: "Most people don't have the chance to become successful. After all, this world is made up of the vast majority of ordinary people. So-called opportunities are only one in ten million, like a stroke of luck falling on someone's head. Don't be discouraged if you don't get one."

Kroos paused for a moment, then nodded somewhat awkwardly. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that what Su Rui said made a lot of sense.

"What you said seems to make a lot of sense..."

"Alright, think about the reasons after you're done with your work. If it's too late, it will delay our ability to make money. I'll help you."

As Suri spoke, she pushed Kroos's shoulder and led her into the manufacturing room: "Hurry up. Of course, if you don't want to earn this money, you can rest on the side and just watch me work. You can easily earn two hundred in another way."

"Huh? Only two hundred? Boss, forget about the 30% figure, you've certainly put in a lot of effort, but am I only worth two hundred?"

Kroos couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Even if she didn't want to think about it, she still had to argue about it.

However, Kroos did not really intend to do so, at least not at the moment. After all, there were even better ways to make money right in front of her, so why look for something far away when she could do something much better?

As for what Su Rui said, at first, Kroos was a little unconvinced that she was only worth two hundred, but when she thought that she could not only patronize Su Rui but also earn two hundred, Kroos's mood immediately became happy.

So much so that Kroos really wanted to agree. In fact, when she was setting up the tape production line with Suri, Kroos peeked at Suri several times, wanting to agree to it.

However, Kroos's shyness made her hesitate until Theresa arrived.

Prince of Kazdel: 339 Sleeping together?

"Suri, Kroos, how's your work going?"

Theresa smiled as she entered the manufacturing station and saw Kroos and Suri still busy at work.

Kroos shuddered, then quickly said with a grin, "It's almost done. All we have to do now is put the materials in and connect the production line, and we can automatically produce tapes with various contents recorded on them."

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Kroos. You were woken up so late by Suri and you still have to do this heavy work."

After all, Su Rui was too lazy to move those machines; he only helped Kroos set up the production lines. However, with Su Rui around, Kroos no longer needed to worry about complex programming and electronic circuit design, as Su Rui had completed all of that in the blink of an eye.

"It's okay, it's normal to work a little harder to earn money."

Of course it's not normal. It's only normal to make people work a little harder when you're making a lot of money.

However, Suri didn't say much at this time. She just nodded after helping Kroos set up the production line: "Alright, it's ready to run."

Theresa smiled as she watched Kroos begin operating the production line, a confident smile playing on her lips, as if she had everything under control.

She hadn't appeared earlier because she was observing the situation. She noticed that Kroos seemed to have really made up her mind to talk to Suri about easily earning two hundred, so she appeared and interrupted Kroos's long-prepared decision.

The production line starts operating after the materials are sequentially fed into different locations. The outer casing and the tape cord of the magnetic tape are manufactured separately, and they are assembled by the machine at the central convergence point to form a complete magnetic tape without any recorded content.

The tape then continues to move forward with the conveyor belt, where it is diverted into different recorders, where different content is recorded. Finally, it continues to be carried backward on the conveyor belt, where the cover is packaged and it falls into a container.

After all, to ensure product quality and prevent any mishaps, the production line speed was not set particularly high.

Kroos breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Suri and Theresa: "Alright, the rest is simple. I'll take care of the production line. Suri, you and Princess Theresa should go and rest. It's getting late."

Theresa couldn't help but look at Suri, anticipating his reaction.

But Su Rui shook her head: "No, it's almost dawn now. I want to stay here for a while and don't want to go back to sleep."

Theresa and Closure exchanged a puzzled look, somewhat unable to understand Suri's words.

"What's so strange about that? Machinery, production lines—these things are obviously attractive to men, aren't they?"

Suri gave Kroos and Theresa a disgruntled look: "You're awake. I'm staying here tonight, so you can go and rest. Anyway, all you have to do now is keep an eye on the production line... Kroos also needs to prepare the shop signs. I've already sent the materials to your personal terminal. Go take a look and you'll know what to do."

"Okay, I understand." Kroos nodded, said goodbye to Suri and Theresa, and said, "In that case, I'll get back to work. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Kroos." Theresa smiled and said goodbye to Kroos, while Suri yawned and simply waved.

Theresa did not leave as Suri had expected. Instead, after Kroos said goodbye, she closed the door of the manufacturing station directly.

The doors to the manufacturing station were also electronically controlled, so even without seeing it, Suri knew what Theresa had done. Leaning against the machine on the production line, she looked up at Theresa behind her with annoyance:

"It's almost dawn now, do you really want to duo queue at this hour? Besides, doesn't the noise from the production line annoy you?"

Suri was a little sleepy, so even if Theresa stripped him completely naked, he didn't want to look at her.

So Suri simply leaned against the machine on the production line, closed her eyes, and dozed off, not paying any attention to Theresa.

Theresa didn't find the production line noisy at all. The crisp, rhythmic sounds, which weren't too loud, were actually quite good white noise to help people relax. Didn't you see that Suri was almost asleep?

Theresa came to Suri's side, put her arms around his waist, and nuzzled his cheek:

"Really, you have absolutely no ideas?"

Then, Theresa felt a strong sense of drowsiness emanating from Suri, and heard Suri's voice coming through the earphones:

"I'm really tired, let me sleep for a while. I haven't been sleeping well for the past few days."

Even the voice coming through the headphones was soft, revealing her exhaustion. Theresa immediately realized that Suri was indeed very sleepy.

Is it because you're too excited to sleep lately?

With this in mind, Theresa didn't continue to guide Suri, but simply held him in her arms and leaned against a seat.

Even if you can't duo queue, this kind of close interaction is still great.

Listening to the soothing voice in her ear, Theresa also felt sleepy and soon fell asleep just like Suri.

However, a manufacturing station is ultimately a manufacturing station, not a place for people to sleep.

Although Theresa was in a fairly good position, even with her excellent physical condition, she couldn't stop her body from relaxing in her sleep and gradually sliding down from her high position, slowly sliding to the floor with Suri in her arms.

However, because she was wearing clothes and was leaning against Theresa, Suri didn't feel cold at all. She just felt a little uncomfortable leaning against Theresa.

None of these feelings could stop Suri and Theresa from resting at this moment.

It wasn't until nearly noon that Kroos finished setting up the shop sign and hanging up the advertisements. When she came over to collect the finished tapes from the manufacturing station, she discovered that the door to the manufacturing station was locked from the inside.

However, the manufacturing station door can actually be unlocked from the outside, since it is an electronic lock, and anyone with sufficient access can easily unlock it.

Theresa had simply locked the door with the manufacturing station's lock. The manufacturing station itself was accessible to anyone with a slightly higher level of management authority, including Kroos, who served as both a repairman and chief engineer.
