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

"Just leave it to Su Rui."

Honeysuckle simply smiled, and then, game icons appeared on the screens of the three computers that were turned on, along with Su Rui's voice:

"Alright, the game is ready, let's begin."

"This is truly amazing." Even though Texas had anticipated Suri's abilities, this scene still amazed her.

When starting the game, due to the limitations of the machine's performance, there was still a wait. Ren Dong casually asked:

"Speaking of which, Su Rui's status as a divine child, could it be that it could cause the entire Eastern Kingdom to..."

"That's impossible. I think that even if the so-called royal family and those powerful forces approve, they must have their own ulterior motives."

Su Rui casually said, "However, the clues given by the higher-level system say that these things won't be there."

Volume 1: 49. Money not enough, actors undecided, script not yet available.

"Did the higher-level system say anything else?" Ren Dong asked curiously.

"She also said that this time it was so easy because of special circumstances. After all, that's how her script was written, and this situation shouldn't happen again in the future..."

After Suri finished speaking, before Honeysuckle and Texas could say anything, they heard Suri's dissatisfied complaint:

"What do you mean 'it shouldn't happen'? Aren't you the screenwriter? Since you're the screenwriter, don't let this kind of absurd situation occur. Give me more bloodshed!"

Ren Dong's lips twitched. He hoped Su Rui wouldn't send these messages to the higher-level system, but Su Rui had already posted his chat history. He really did send it, but the higher-level system ignored him.

"Answer me now, you blockhead!"

The higher-level system still ignored him.

Texas couldn't see the chat interface, but she could tell that Honeysuckle didn't want Suri to continue. So, she silently noted this down and reminded her:

"The game can begin, shall we play?"

"...Okay, let's ignore her."

Suri nodded and then started the game.

Although it appears to be a three-player game, after the rules were modified, Suri discovered that he could have a lot of fun playing alone. After all, when he couldn't beat his opponent, he could directly modify the data in the background and even change the enemy's actions.

If the action is too fast, slow down the speed; if the value is too high, lower the value. So, it's actually quite easy to play through the game.

Texas and Honeysuckle, however, found the difficulty of Suri's choice somewhat hard to accept.

"Such an opponent is a bit too easy and not challenging at all."

A smile crept onto Honeysuckle's lips as she deliberately spoke up in front of Suri and Texas.

"...Does Texas think so too?"

Both Honeysuckle and Texas noticed that Suri's computer, which was placed in the middle, paused for a moment, and then the game character stopped moving.

Texas, realizing that Suri's attention was on her, nodded, trying not to provoke Suri:

"This kind of monster is indeed a bit too slow for me."

"...Okay, I'll adjust your game speed back, so I can play by myself now. By the way, just tell me what games you like, and I'll install them for you in no time."

After that, Suri focused on controlling his game character and didn't participate in the idle chatter between Honeysuckle and Texas.

However, honeysuckle is not satisfied with the cozy environment at this moment.

Although getting along with Suri was indeed a good thing... she wanted more than just that.

After glancing at the nearly 90% completion of the physicalization process, Ren Dong quietly stopped operating the computer, and then silently stood up after the New Year.

Texas was a little surprised, but after noticing Honeysuckle's "no need to worry" look, she nodded and continued playing the game.

Honeysuckle stepped outside. The corridor was deserted, but after only a few steps, she encountered the Fox Priest, who seemed to be waiting for something. The Fox Priest sat upright in the corridor, holding a scripture in his hands, seemingly engrossed in reading. Noticing Honeysuckle's gaze, he looked up and smiled at her.

"The spirit possessed by the divine child? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Is there anything else here that needs to be resolved?"

Honeysuckle didn't mind the somewhat uncomfortable title and asked the priestess in front of her as indifferently as possible.

"Hmm? There aren't any particularly troublesome issues at the shrine for the time being... Do you have any special requests?"

Fox Master was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Honeysuckle with a puzzled expression. After noticing the regret in Honeysuckle's eyes, Donne was somewhat confused.

Even if she and Ren Dong might have some minor friction because of the Divine Child, it shouldn't be necessary to show hostility so directly, right?

Thinking this, the fox priest subconsciously moved closer to honeysuckle: "Could it be about the Divine Child?"

"...If not, then forget it."

Honeysuckle glanced at Fox Master, not directly revealing Su Rui's matter, but her eyes spoke volumes. Fox Master immediately reached out and blocked Honeysuckle's path:

"If you have any requests, please feel free to tell me. For the sake of the Divine Child, I will do anything, even create difficulties!"

"I know, let me think about it first."

Originally, she was just trying her luck. Ren Dong glanced at Fox Palace Master. If she couldn't do it, maybe the higher-level system could?

With this in mind, Honeysuckle asked a question to the higher-level system:

"Is there any way to speed up Su Rui's materialization process? He's almost ready to materialize."

Moreover, judging from the images provided by the higher-level system, the image of Su Rui in Honeysuckle's eyes is already very concrete.

The white-haired, red-eyed nine-tailed fox boy made her heart stop abruptly with just one glance.

[...None available]

Well, it seems the higher-level system won't help with this... but she actually answered my question, and Ren Dong was a little confused about the relationship between the higher-level system and Su Rui.

While certain details suggest that the higher-level system seems to care about Su Rui, at other times, her behavior makes it seem as if she doesn't understand Su Rui at all.

However, just as Honeysuckle was thinking this, the higher-level system reacted:

[Twenty-three kilometers east of the shrine, a horrific murder is about to unfold. It's a good opportunity for you to perform and make Suri happy.]

Clearly, the superior system read Ren Dong's mind directly, something Su Rui couldn't do. After all, Ren Dong could choose which thoughts Su Rui heard, but the superior system could obviously detect all her ideas.

The higher-level system did not respond to Ren Dong's ideas, but, just as it was to refute Ren Dong's idea that the higher-level system did not understand Su Rui, she provided more information.

For example, Suri's preferences, some small details, and even the way she is addressed will attract his attention.

Thank you for your help.

Ren Dong began to have new thoughts about the relationship between the higher-level system and Su Rui.

Then, the higher-level system ignored her and only left a navigation to guide Honeysuckle to take action.

"I've already thought of a plan, we'll set off in a bit."

Honeysuckle glanced at the fox priestess beside her, nodded to her, and then began to mentally contact Su Rui:

"Suri, are you free? There's something I need to take care of."

Volume 1: 50 Materialization

"Okay, what are we going to do?"

Su Rui's puzzled voice rang out: "I've already paused the game, let's head out."

Isn't this game supposed to be unpauseable? Even if you open the inventory, the game will still continue.

Honeysuckle paused for a moment, then realized Su Rui's abilities and understood.

At this point, Su Rui explained, "I directly paused the game, that is, I stopped the process inside by freezing it."

"I understand. Let's go, time is of the essence."

The boss, Honeysuckle, lowered his head, touched the weapon at his waist, and then rushed out dressed in a kimono.

"Are you sure it's okay for you to wear slippers?"

Su Rui looked at the wooden clogs that Ren Dong was wearing, which were a style of Japanese kimono. She was a little puzzled. These shoes seemed inconvenient to move in, and they were also very noisy.

[This won't affect your operations; your opponent is easily defeated.]

The message from the higher-level system startled Ren Dong for a moment, then she realized that Su Rui couldn't see the messages from the higher-level system, and then explained:

"This target is easy to deal with; it's something that can be resolved with a simple task."

"Oh, speaking of which, how did you suddenly find out about these things? Weren't we playing a game? Did that fox priest tell you?"

[Agreeing to his request would arouse suspicion. You should just say you saw someone livestreaming on your phone and saw their location was nearby.]

Honeysuckle hesitated for a moment, but still followed the advice of the superior system and said the words:

“I went out to rest for a bit, and then I saw it on a live stream. The location was nearby, so I thought I'd go check it out. It was just a few street thugs; they shouldn't be a threat.”

"I see... In the Eastern Kingdom, these people should be called street ronin, or something like that, right?"

"There's no point in caring about how you're addressed, is there?"

“No, these titles affect the sense of immersion,” Suri said, seemingly rambling, but Ren Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

The advice given by the superior system was correct; it seems that the explanation she subconsciously came up with just now was indeed easy for Su Rui to doubt.

It's rather strange that Su Rui would have doubts about something like this.

Putting these chaotic thoughts aside, Honeysuckle had already arrived at the location marked by the superior system.

At this moment, the struggle has already begun.

A group of disheveled demon thugs were shouting and yelling at a pair of demons who looked to be only teenagers.

"Their trilled tongue sounds so awful, they're like the kind of trashy characters you can't stand just by hearing their voice."

Suri felt a subconscious sense of disgust; this kind of guy made her feel physically uncomfortable.

Ren Dong frowned as she looked at the two children who were surrounded by her, but since she wasn't very familiar with the language of the East, she couldn't understand the strange things people were saying. So Ren Dong jumped off the wall.

While attracting the attention of these ronin, Honeysuckle also made no attempt to hide her intentions and asked directly:

What do they mean by that?

"Simply put, it's about forcing children whose parents are already dead to pay protection money."

Suri casually said, "That's not important. I just asked the fox priest directly, and it seems that the shrine has a special organization that adopts children. Let's take care of these small fry first."

"I see."

As Ren Dong watched the arrogant ronin approach with his neck tilted to the side, he casually drew his sword, but instead of using it, he punched the oni in the face.

"What a beautiful punch! It knocked out his teeth!"

Su Rui immediately replayed in Ren Dong's mind the wretched sight of the demon clan ronin whose face was deformed and teeth flew out after being punched by Ren Dong.

"Can't we just use our fists? I have a way to make sure none of them can escape."

"……Can."

Honeysuckle glanced at the rapidly increasing system materialization progress in her field of vision, then at the notification from the superior system:

[The Fox Temple Master has arrived with his men to ensure those ronin cannot escape; just do as Su Rui requests.]

Why is even the higher-level system calling someone the Fox Palace Master, just like Su Rui?

While somewhat puzzled, Ren Dong couldn't help but smile. Then, sheathed her sword, clenched her fists, and began to brutally punch the faces of these ronin.

Under Su Rui's scanning vision and prediction, Honeysuckle was not harmed at all and directly knocked down all the troublemaking ronin with her fists, round and round.

Suri was still cheering in Ren Dong's mind: "Great job, King of Boxing! You took them all down with just your fists!"

"Mm." Honeysuckle simply took a deep breath and smiled in response to Su Rui.

Because her attention had been focused on the system's materialization progress, which was 121%, how could there still be an overflow?

The overflowing system materialization progress can add new functions to Su Rui, such as high-speed holographic projection: a flawless holographic projection even when moving at high speed.

"I see," Honeysuckle nodded, then saw the next message from the superior system:

These new features will remain indefinitely, including simulations after Suri.

Ren Dong paused for a moment. Did Su Rui have any other simulation missions?

She originally thought that after materializing, Su Rui would stay with her forever.

The physicalized system will remain in place for approximately several years, the exact time is uncertain, after which new tasks will commence.
