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

"Indeed, it will take some time to repair the aircraft. It's not just about removing the engine; we also need to figure out how to put it back in."

The doctor nodded, his tone somewhat sarcastic:

"But that's not the reason we can't leave now, is it?"

"Hmm." Suri nodded, while Gavial looked over in confusion and asked:

"Doctor? Aren't you planning to leave yet? Or is there something else? The anaconda should have already agreed to return the engine to us, right?"

"Of course I agreed!"

The anaconda glared at Gavial with annoyance, then called over a few of its men to help. They first removed the aircraft's engine, and then began installing the engine that Su Rui had previously selected. Getting Big Ugly moving around would at least make moving things easier later.

Gavial gradually realized that something was wrong. Temimi blocked her way, holding a staff in her hand, and kept her head down without saying a word.

Volume 8, Chapter 474: Rhodes Island is developing very fast.

"Temmy? What are you doing? I'm going back to Rhodes Island. Will we ever see each other again? You don't need to think about me like that."

Gavial was unaware that Temimi seemed unwilling to reason with her.

Temimi shook her head, mustered her courage, raised her head, and looked directly into Gavial's eyes:

“Gavial, stay here in the rainforest. We can do more fun things together. Gavial can be the chief here. I will help Gavial deal with those troublesome things. So, Gavial, can you stay?”

Gavial looked at Temimi, who had a pleading expression, with some surprise, and then looked troubled: "But I don't want to stay here. I have things to do on Rhodes Island, and I can't stay here forever."

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Temimi asked again, unwilling to give up, looking nervously into Gavial's eyes. But Gavial had no intention of changing his mind and shook his head.

"No, I still need to go back."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Gavial with words, Temimi completely gave up hope. On the other side, Suri couldn't help but show a look of amusement, and then took out more snacks to share with the Doctor, Banquet, Croissant, Blaze, and Ceobe who were watching the show.

"Shouldn't we try to stop them?" Croissant sat next to Suri, opening a snack while glancing worriedly at Gavial.

"Are they really going to kidnap Gavial?"

"It's okay, if that really happens, we can bring them back!" Huang took a few packets of dried meat from Su Rui's hand, then curiously leaned closer to Su Rui and asked:

"Is there any alcohol we can drink? Please!"

Huang gave Su Rui a pleading look; judging from her expression, she hadn't had a chance to secretly drink for quite some time.

"I only have fruit wine with a low alcohol content here." Su Rui took out a few bottles of low-alcohol wine from the system space and handed them to Huang. The big cat immediately wanted to open them and share them with a few other people.

However, Yan was more interested in the sweet snacks in Su Rui's hand, and took the opportunity to look Su Rui up and down: "You look very cute. Would you like to wear some nice clothes and go to the exhibition together?"

"Of course, there's no problem if there's an opportunity." Suri reached out and rubbed Kroos's ears. The little dog was practically burying its head in his arms for the treat.

"Alright, alright, don't rush, here's some mushrooms for you."

Suri took out some mushroom snacks from the system space and stuffed them into Kroos's arms. Of course, she didn't forget the food that could fill his stomach.

Considering the special nature of the crocodile, Suri wasn't worried about overeating the puppy, since she could really eat it all.

Yan, seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere below, couldn't help but show interest:

"Do you think that if we let them kidnap Gavial, we can stage a rescue plot for a princess in distress?"

"I can also get Su Rui some nice clothes. I actually brought a few nice clothes with me this time, and the price is reasonable."

Croissant rubbed her hands together and leaned closer to Suri, winking at her: "Interested in taking a look?"

“Okay, I happen to have some Originium Ingots here.” Suri nodded, and was about to take out the Originium Ingots when Croissant grabbed his wrist to stop him:

"Oh, why are you being so formal with me?" It's a relationship where we both know each other's strengths and weaknesses.

"You don't need to worry about the money. I'll ask the Doctor or Kal'tsit to reimburse me. If all else fails, there's always Honeysuckle."

"Those clothes you have don't sound cheap, do they?" Suri winked at Croissant.

"Don't try to fool me with something you found at a street stall!"

"Of course, of course, how could I dare to try to fool you with some junk from a street stall? These are all handmade dresses."

Croissant leaned on Suri's shoulder with a playful laugh as she took out several pieces of clothing from her suitcase and showed them to Suri.

These clothes are more like elaborate theatrical costumes than formal wear, and they even have special strips of fabric to adjust the tightness to fit different body types.

"Look, doesn't it suit you perfectly?" Croissant smiled at Suri. "When I was buying these clothes, I thought they would suit you perfectly, Suri. But after I finished making them, I regretted it a little. I didn't expect to actually find them now."

Suri nodded, picked out a few items she liked from the clothes Croissant had bought, and then smiled at Croissant:

"Alright, I've chosen the items. So, who are you planning to ask for reimbursement? Actually, I'd recommend you ask Honeysuckle; she definitely has enough funds."

As for the doctor, although Su Rui knew that the doctor was certainly not short of money, he probably didn't have enough to spend large sums of money at will.

However, the doctor didn't seem to think so. She reached out from the side and pinched Suri's cheek, gently kneading it.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that. What do you take my Rhodes Island for? Do you think I don't have money?"

"But Rhodes Island's economy seems to be a bit tight, doesn't it? Do you have a lot of money?"

Suri looked at the Doctor with suspicion, then reached out and pinched his cheek in retaliation, gently kneading it: "And your hand, let go of me right now."

"No, and your information is too outdated. Ask them how Rhodes Island is doing under my control?"

Even with Su Rui pinching his cheeks, the doctor still managed to boast to Su Rui in a garbled voice.

Suri didn't let go of the doctor's cheek, but looked at Huang and the others with a puzzled expression.

Huang scratched his cheek with his finger and awkwardly looked away: "Haha, I'm usually busy with training, so I'm not really sure what happened."

Is this really you? Aside from drinking and training, don't you care about anything else?

Suri turned her gaze to Yan: "So, how's Rhodes Island doing lately?"

Although Croissant enjoys business, it's unlikely that Penguin Logistics will easily keep track of the changes at Rhodes Island. Therefore, Feast, who prefers fashion and gossip, is the most likely person to provide Suri with the most appropriate intelligence at this time.

Just as Su Rui had predicted, Yan nodded to Su Rui, and while pondering, he couldn't help but show an expression of amazement:

"The Doctor has secured quite a few big contracts for Rhodes Island. Rhodes Island's wealth has now reached an incredibly exaggerated level. Sometimes I even wonder what Rhodes Island plans to do with so much money?"

"This is all for the sake of planning ahead," the doctor said.

Volume 8, Chapter 475: The Anaconda: "So nervous!"

While Su Rui was talking to them, the anaconda reinstalled the original engine on Big Ugly. Under Su Rui's control, Big Ugly picked up the aircraft's engine and followed behind Su Rui, curiously asking:

"What happened? Did I just miss something?"

"We're watching Gavial and Temimi fight," Suri pointed to the fighting area right next to the anaconda and reminded them.

"Temimi tried to force Gavial to stay in the rainforest, but Gavial disagreed, so they fought."

"It seems that Gavial has the advantage."

The anaconda didn't seem nervous after hearing this; instead, it looked with some concern at Croissant and the Doctor, who were sitting on either side of Suri.

Who are they?

Without Suri's prompting, Croissant greeted the anaconda with a smile:

"Hello, Miss Anaconda, I'm Suri's friend. This is the doctor, Suri's mother."

"...Hmm." Seeing that Su Rui's parents were still there, the anaconda didn't want to make a big deal out of it. However, she was still a little concerned. She reached out and picked Su Rui up, then sat down next to Croissant and the Doctor, letting Su Rui sit in her lap.

Croissant naturally knew what was going on. Having already shared Suri with Texas and the others, she wasn't particularly upset by the anaconda's possessiveness at this moment.

The doctor wasn't angry about it either. She just smiled as she watched Senran and Suri interact, slowly tasting Suri's snacks, and watching Gavial take on the entire rainforest of crocodile people all by himself.

Seemingly triggered by some kind of passive ability, Gavial not only did not feel tired in the face of so many enemies, but instead became more and more courageous in battle.

One crocodile-men after another fell at her feet, but Gavial displayed a powerful aura.

However, the surrounding crocodile people were not intimidated by Gavial's imposing manner; on the contrary, they became even more excited and charged towards them with howls.

The anaconda nuzzled Su Rui with its cheek, asking with some confusion:

"Aren't we going to help? Although Gavial is indeed very strong, it would be a bit too much to ask her to defeat all the opponents by herself."

“It’s okay, anyway, Gavial seems to be enjoying it.”

Suri shrugged: "However, she would be even more powerful if she could only be attacked by one person at a time."

"How could such a thing possibly happen?"

"Why not?" Suri wrapped her snake tail around the anaconda, tightening her tail and hugging the anaconda's waist to express her dissatisfaction: "I remember those crocodile people who wield stone shields and stone machetes are just like that, aren't they? When they fight, they take damage from the opponent in front of them, and if they think there is no damage from other directions, then there is no damage."

"...I'm not entirely sure about this either." The anaconda thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true, but she herself couldn't figure out the underlying principle, so she could only shake her head.

"Isn't there any way to stop them? Letting them keep fighting like this isn't a solution, is it?"

"Are you in such a hurry to come back to Rhodes Island with me? It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it right now, does it? Let's wait a little longer."

Suri reached out and pinched the python's tail to soothe her.

“I’m not in a hurry.” The anaconda shook its head, holding Suri and turning its gaze to Gavial:

"I just feel like this is a bit boring."

"In that case, I have an even simpler way." Suri flicked his snake tail and shouted at Gavial, who was still locked in fierce combat:

"Gavial, since Termimi wants to come with you, why don't you just take her to Rhodes Island?!"

Gavial, who was hacking and slashing with an axe she had snatched from the other crocodile men, turned her head to look at Suri, gave him a thumbs up, then casually threw a punch, shaking off all the crocodile men blocking her way, and walked towards Temimi.

"Even if I face Gavial, I will not back down!" Temimi raised her voice to bolster her courage, then brandished her staff, seemingly intending to challenge Gavial.

The doctor looked at Suri with some curiosity: "What do you think? Who is more likely to win?"

"Of course it's Gavial. Temimi can win in terms of tail weight." After all, Temimi's tail looks so fat, and it must feel really nice to touch.

Then, they saw Temimi try to swing her staff at Gavial, but Gavial grabbed her and lifted her up.

However, to be honest, Temimi probably didn't really intend to attack Gavial; her eyes were closed when she raised her staff.

After picking Temimi up, Gavial found a place to sit down, let Temimi lie on her lap, and questioned her:

"Would you like to come to Rhodes Island with me?"

Temimi, who was being held down by Gavial, trembled slightly and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I want to go to Rhodes Island with Gavial."

"Do you even realize you're wrong?"

"...I understand." Temimi's tail trembled with fear, its chubby crocodile tail shaking so much that Suri couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

However, it would be too abrupt to touch Temimi's tail now, so Suri could only reach out and grab the anaconda's big tail, and comfortably knead it.

Meanwhile, Gavial had already decided on Temimi's punishment: a tail swipe.

However, after Gavial raised her hand, she noticed the circle of crocodile-men surrounding her and the Rhodes Island members watching from a distance. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she gently lowered her hand.

"Ahem, let's talk about this later. Now, pack your things and come with us."

"Okay, okay, I'll go prepare right away. Gavial, wait for me."

Temimi shook its chubby tail and then quickly got ready.

Gavial then approached Suri and the others with an annoyed expression:

"So, while I was dealing with them all by myself, you guys just sat here and watched? And you even started drinking? You seemed to be enjoying yourselves."

"Don't mind it, you seem quite safe on your own, don't you?"

Huang casually and boldly waved the bottle in his hand at Gavial: "Want to have a drink together?"

"Drink! It's not easy to have a holiday, of course I have to relax properly."

Gavial took the bottle from Huang's hand, glanced at Su Rui who was being held in the arms of the anaconda, and smiled at him:

"This time it's Fidia's look, can I touch her tail?"

Volume 8, Chapter 476: Anaconda: You're not allowed to touch me!

Suri didn't seem to care about having her tail touched, but the anaconda clearly didn't want anyone else near her.

Upon hearing Gavial's words, the anaconda warily wrapped its arm around Suri's waist and glared at Gavial:

"No, you're not allowed to touch it!"

"Okay, okay, if you don't want me to touch you, then don't." Gavial wagged her tail, and Suri took out some snacks from her system space and handed them to her. Gavial wagged her tail at Suri.
