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

Kroos hesitated for a moment. Would suddenly opening the door reveal something she shouldn't? But it was time to make money!

After much deliberation, Kroos finally decided to open the door; her desire for wealth outweighed her fear of social niceties.

So, Kroos unlocked the manufacturing station door anyway, and as she opened it, she stood at the doorway and softly called out:

"Suri, Princess Theresa, are you there? I need to come in and get something."

After waiting for a moment and finding no response, Ke Luxi opened the door and looked into the manufacturing station.

Then she paused for a moment. The Demon Lord of Kazdel and Suri were snuggled together, curled up in a ball, lying on the cold floor of the manufacturing station, sleeping soundly. Apart from Theresa and Suri's expressions being somewhat uncomfortable due to the hardness of the floor, the scene actually looked quite heartwarming.

With this in mind, Kroos didn't say anything. She carefully looked at Theresa and Suri and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that they really hadn't duo-queued last night.

Kroos didn't know why she was nervous, but she was definitely happy because of it.

In order not to disturb this heartwarming scene, Kroos tiptoed out the cassette tapes one box at a time before calling her subordinates to come and help.

As the chief engineer of Rhodes Island, she still has people she can use. Although the store's affairs are not Rhodes Island's responsibility, it's fine as long as she pays a little overtime. In order to earn more money, Kroos is not afraid to spend a little money.

Of course, Kroos wouldn't dare to delay wages or fail to pay overtime, because the people of Terra are much more martial and righteous. If reasoning doesn't work, they'll just start talking about physics.

To ensure that Suri and Theresa's time together wouldn't be disturbed, Kroos deliberately locked the manufacturing station door again, this time using her privileges as Rhodes Island's chief engineer.

Anyway, Suri definitely has the authority to go out, so she doesn't need to worry about Theresa and Suri being locked in this room and unable to get out.

Suri had already told the Doctor about the banshees. It was supposed to be Theresa and Suri, who had experience communicating with the banshees, who would receive them, but even after the banshees had arrived at Rhodes Island, Suri and Theresa still hadn't responded.

Especially Suri, despite having a telepathic connection, the Doctor received no response, only hearing Suri's soft breathing; clearly, Suri was asleep.

Did he duo queue with Theresa until dawn last night?

The Doctor was somewhat helpless, but since the Banshees had already arrived, as the highest-ranking person currently awake on Rhodes Island, she still had to take on the responsibility of receiving them.

Accompanied by his guards, the Doctor saw a massive horde of Banshees at the entrance to Rhodes Island. The sheer number of them even alarmed the Sarkaz of Babel, who felt it was far too many for an envoy or reinforcement.

The Sarkaz's living environment forces them to remain vigilant.

But the Sarkaz saw the banshees as schoolchildren on a field trip, looking around and bustling about, without any sense of tension.

The Doctor couldn't help but glance somewhat subtly at the banshees behind Ramallian, who looked like they were being taken on a spring outing by their parents, and slowly said, "Welcome to Rhodes Island, everyone. I've already heard about your purpose from Suri, and your accommodations have been arranged. Would you like me to take you there?"

"Thank you, but we can talk about this later. Suri said he would make many cassette tapes to sell to us. Where can we find them?"

Even Ramallian couldn't contain her excitement and asked directly for the store's location.

The doctor paused for a moment, but didn't think too much about it. This was probably one of the conditions that Su Rui used to persuade the banshees.

With that in mind, the Doctor nodded: "Last night, Kroos seemed to have prepared a sign for you. This should be what you're looking for. Shall I take you there? Anyway, Rhodes Island welcomes you all."

"Thank you, Doctor. Shall we set off now?"

Ramallian couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, and the Doctor noticed that the banshees behind Ramallian seemed excited and ready to rush out.

Wisely refraining from asking any questions, and trusting that the banshees Suri brought wouldn't cause trouble, the Doctor decided:

"Please remember not to do anything too extreme. The real-time control here may have some stress reactions because of the battlefield environment. Kroos's shop is on the second floor of Rhodes Island. Today, she specially hired a few more people on the deck to set up a large stall."

After the doctor finished speaking, he gestured for them to do as they pleased, then nodded to Ramallian: "Shall we go to the office to talk?"

"Thank you for the invitation, Doctor. We'll do it later. I'd like to go check out that store now, so I won't disturb your work any longer."

Lamarle nodded to the Doctor, and then, like the other banshees, strode towards the second floor of Rhodes Island, the location the Doctor had indicated.

Many of the young succubi even started running, accompanied by boisterous cheers: "Charge! Charge!"

"Hey! You! You're not allowed to use magic to slow us down. If you're so capable, then speed yourself up!"

"No way! Slowing you down is also speeding myself up!"

Amidst the clamor of the banshees, they surged toward the second floor of Rhodes Island like a flock of noisy ducklings.

Many of the succubi also noticed that Ramallian was also in their group, and had even come to the front of the group.

However, the elegant banshee queen did not run, but used some kind of magic to allow her to walk ahead of all the banshees even though she was taking a stroll.

"Why is Sister Ramallian still trying to take our tapes when she already has so many?"

The young banshees showed no fear of Ramallian's authority, and some of them directly shouted and questioned her.

Ramallian simply smiled and turned back to look at her succubi, who were running but couldn't keep up with her strolling companions, and explained:

"Because the tape Suri gave me was a limited edition, and the story inside wouldn't be featured in this sale, I wanted to get my hands on this tape as well."

Although Suri promised that every banshee would have access to all versions of the tapes, the time span involved would likely be very long, and the banshees wouldn't have that much patience in their pursuit of knowledge.

Prince of Kazdel: 341 Kroos: Help! There are too many people to handle.

Ramallian's words immediately caused an uproar among the young banshees: "Does that mean Ramallian's tapes are collector's editions? We want them! And if we don't get to hear some great stories, we'll die!"

The banshees swarmed around, even trying to catch up with Ramallian: "No! We want some too! Sister Ramallian, please help us think of a way!"

"Suri said she would release all the stories little by little. It just takes time to make the tapes. Don't worry, once you've finished listening to the tapes you have, new tapes will be released."

Lamaren smiled, ignoring the wails of the banshees behind her, and used her magic to arrive directly in front of Kroos's stall.

Seeing an elegant and mysterious banshee appear before her, Kroos, who was looking at her phone and waiting for customers to come and buy things, was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and gave Ramallen a friendly smile:

"Hello, hello, is there anything you'd like?"

"Give me three copies of every kind of tape here, it's still just one."

Ramallian had originally intended to buy several copies for her collection, but when she thought of the bustling young banshees behind her, she couldn't help but smile: "Suri will probably reprint these contents later, right?"

"Of course, the production line has just been established, so the capacity is not yet sufficient. There will be more and more magnetic tapes in the future!"

Kroos nodded hastily. After all, the person in front of her was clearly a big client. Although she didn't know why he had suddenly changed his mind, she still had to greet him politely.

Kroos then placed one of each type of carbon microparticle tape into a prepared shopping bag and handed it to Ramalien. "Thank you for your patronage. The total is... Would you like to pay with LMD, Originium Ingots, or some other method?"

Ramallen paused for a moment, then took out an Originium Ingot and handed it to Kroos: "Lungmen Dollars? Is this currency still in circulation in Kazdel?"

"It's only because this currency is so widely circulated that I say Kazdel doesn't have a sound economic system right now."

Kroos smiled and was about to continue after carefully collecting Lamalen's money when she heard Lamalen suddenly say, "Wait a minute."

"W-what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the tape?" Even if there really is a problem, it shouldn't have been discovered so quickly, right? Kroos stood up again, a little nervous.

However, Ramallian simply smiled at her: "You and your staff are probably going to be busy, so it's better if you don't sit down."

"Huh? Oh, oh." Kroos looked at Ramalien with some confusion. Although she didn't understand, she still stood there and waited. There was no need to cause trouble. If it really didn't work out, she could wait until the guest left before sitting down.

However, before Lamaren could leave or Kroos could figure things out, a commotion of footsteps sounded behind her. The ground trembled, and the footsteps, accompanied by shouts of "argument," made Kroos tense.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Ramalien simply smiled and stepped aside, allowing Kroos to see the young banshees charging toward them from behind.

"They're all here to buy things, right?" Kroos swallowed hard, only feeling slightly relieved when she saw Ramallen nod.

"Although Suri had warned me, I was still surprised when I actually saw it."

Kroos swallowed nervously as she watched the succubi surging toward them.

The employees next to her, who had initially thought they were just there to slack off, couldn't help but feel nervous. How long would it take for so many people to keep busy?

However, they didn't have time to dwell on that now, because the banshees had already rushed to the stall, shouting that they wanted a portion of everything here, and it seemed that every banshee was planning to do so.

Seeing the hordes of banshees surging towards her, Kroos couldn't help but cry out in anguish, "Guh~ Suri, save me~"

Unfortunately, Suri was still asleep and couldn't hear her cries of pain.

Ramallian looked at Kroos, who seemed to feel a great calamity was about to befall her, with amusement. She coughed lightly and addressed the bustling banshees who were practically tearing down the stall:

"Line up properly, don't push or shove, and don't disturb others."

Although it was just a simple reminder, Ramallian's words were very effective. The young banshees immediately quieted down and quickly lined up in front of the few employees at the stall.

However, looking at their expectant eyes, Kroos couldn't help but swallow. Although the number of tapes produced in one night was indeed quite large, it was mainly because Suri had prepared tapes with different content.

If everyone wanted one serving, there certainly wouldn't be enough succubi in front of them.

Although the production line is still running, even if we go back to restock, we probably won't be able to meet the demand for so many female demons.

Kroos now understands why Suri said this money is both easy and hard to earn. There's no shortage of customers, but to make money, you have to withstand the pressure and work like a cog in a machine, racing against time.

To avoid being torn to shreds by the angry banshees later, Kroos thought for a moment, and before Lamalen left, spoke to the banshees:

"Thank you all for your support. However, our shop doesn't have enough stock today, so each person is limited to one cassette tape of each type. The production line is still running, so we will continue to restock. Please be patient."

Kroos's words confirmed the young banshees' suspicions, and their quiet whispers turned into a cacophony.

This immediately made Kroos tense up again, but fortunately, Ramallian coughed lightly, which calmed the banshees down again: "Don't cause trouble for the people here, or Suri might get angry and refuse to sell you the tapes. I'm sure he'll make sure everyone can buy them."

Ramalien's words were very intimidating. Although the banshees still harbored some resentment, they became much quieter and appeared very calm, just like ordinary customers waiting to buy goods... If Kroos hadn't seen them use magic to speed up their arrival, she would have truly believed them.

While preparing the goods and paying for the succubus in front of her, Kroos took the opportunity to pull out her phone and make a call, tucking it between her neck and shoulder to call for help:

"Vishdel! Come help me! Could you move all the tapes from Manufacturing Station 03 over here? And while you're at it, could you please rearrange the boxes that hold the tapes? I'll pay you, please. And I'll give you the dress you had your eye on before!"

Prince of Kazdel: 342 What's your name this early in the morning?

Suri was awakened by the sound of banging on the door. Opening her eyes, she heard Vishdel's grumbling and cursing outside.

"Kroos, didn't you send me here to get something? Why is the door locked? And why does it say I don't have the necessary permissions to open it?!"

Upon opening her scanning vision, Su Rui saw Kroos's stall on the second floor of Rhodes Island, busy collecting payments from the banshees while apologizing to Vishdel with embarrassment:

"I'm so sorry, I didn't think of that. I'll open the door for you right away, just wait a moment. And please, please don't damage those goods, or the consequences could be very serious. I'm not threatening you, this is just... a fact."

"Tch, I got it. Remember to open the door for me right now."

Vishdale gave a disgruntled snort, and just as she finished speaking, the door to the licensing station in front of her opened, and Suri walked out, approached Vishdale, grabbed her wrist, and said to Kroos on the other end of the phone:

"Alright, I've opened the door. Next, Vishdel and I will take these tapes over."

"Suri?! You're finally awake!" Kroos complained to Suri on the other end of the phone, as if she had suffered some great injustice:

"You didn't even tell me there would be so many customers; I simply don't have enough staff!"

"Okay, I got it. I'm on my way now. My phone's about to run out of battery, I have to hang up."

After finishing her sentence, Suri hung up the phone and handed it back to Vishdale, tilting her head at her: "Let's go, I'll take my things, we'll head straight there."

Vishdale nodded and followed Suri into the manufacturing plant, where he saw Theresa, who had also just woken up.

"Your Highness Theresa? This is..."

"Suri and I were so tired last night that we didn't expect to fall asleep on the floor."

Theresa smiled and explained, then looked at the many tapes that had been produced again, intending to move them over with Vishdel.

Suri reached out and grabbed their wrists, and the tapes vanished right in front of them.

"Alright, I've packed everything up. We just need to head straight to Kroos."

With that, Suri pulled the two of them toward the second floor of Rhodes Island: "Don't worry about Vishdel, I'll definitely make sure Kroos gives you your reward."

Soon, Suri led Theresa and Vishdel to the large plaza on the second floor of Rhodes Island.

Kroos and her employees were still busy collecting payments, and the banshees who had already bought the tapes hadn't left either. They were gathered around the square, chatting excitedly about something.

Ramallian was also there. When she saw Suri, she came right up to him and greeted him, "Long time no see, Suri."

"Long time no see... Actually, it hasn't been that long."

Suri nodded, then went straight to Kroos's stall, clapped her hands, and the tapes that had been mostly sold out were restocked. Although it wasn't as many as what was made in one night, it wasn't a small amount either, enough to allow quite a few banshees to buy some.

After greeting Kroos, Suri looked at the banshees around her. Their gazes were constantly and subtly focused on Suri, clearly showing how concerned they were about the tape.

"Don't worry, I always make extra tapes each time I produce them. After all, you're probably not the only ones interested in these stories. Right now, it's just that the production line isn't big enough, but that problem will be solved today."

Of course, it was Kroos who solved the problems; Suri was only responsible for providing the plans.

After calming the banshees, Suri looked at Ramallian: "Speaking of which, have you arranged your accommodations yet? The Doctor should have already made arrangements."

"Yes, the doctor had already arranged accommodations when we arrived, but we were in a hurry to buy tapes, so we didn't go to check on them."

"Hmm, let me see. Would you like me to give you a map? Or would you like to come back with us and talk? I don't think that's necessary, am I?"

Since the agreement had already been reached, Suri felt there was no need to continue the conversation, so he turned to look at Theresa to see if she had any other plans.

"We still need to discuss your plans for the future, Su Rui."

Theresa smiled, took Suri's wrist, and glanced at Vishdel: "Work hard, Vishdel~"
