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

...Well, at least Su Rui is with her now. Although Ren Dong was a little unhappy, she could only accept it.

After glancing at the options provided by the superior system, I directly selected materialization.

The cheers in Suri's mind gradually turned into actual sounds, leaving even Suri stunned:

"That was brilliant! I'm going to go back and edit these together and replay them every day! Hey?"

Suri was still cheering when she suddenly realized something was wrong and stared blankly at the honeysuckle in front of her:

"Honeysuckle? My perspective seems a bit off, and why am I feeling a little cold?"

Ren Dong looked at the white-haired, red-eyed, nine-tailed fox boy staring blankly at her, and quickly took off her kimono outer garment and draped it over Su Rui's shoulders. Then she looked around warily, remembering that there were quite a few fox priests and her ninjas around.

"What's going on with me?"

Su Rui was pulled into Ren Dong's arms, but having transformed into a nine-tailed fox boy, he was still confused about the situation. His mind was blank as he looked at Ren Dong, and then at the fox priest and ninja who appeared in front of him.

At this moment, his brain was a little overwhelmed: "Honeysuckle, don't be nervous. Fox Temple Master is an ally. They have no ill intentions."

Volume 1: Chapter 51 Su Rui: What happened?

"I know."

Honeysuckle held the nine-tailed fox boy in her arms and responded softly, still watching the fox priest and the ninjas warily.

Ren Dong only relaxed a little after they respectfully knelt on one knee and called out something like "Divine Child."

Su Rui, having gained a slight understanding of the current situation, looked up and stared into Ren Dong's eyes.

"……What's wrong?"

Ren Dong really wanted to talk to the higher-level system about the issue of Su Rui's stay time, but Su Rui's ruby-like eyes were staring at her, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Did you know about this from the beginning?"

Su Rui frowned, carefully observing Ren Dong's expression. To get a better look, even with Ren Dong holding his waist, he subconsciously leaned back to observe her more closely.

The conclusion is that Ren Dong was indeed hiding something; her evasive gaze made no attempt to conceal it.

"You definitely have a problem. Tell me, did you know about this from the beginning?"

"...Of course I know."

Honeysuckle hesitated for a moment, then nodded, tightened her arms around Su Rui's waist, and looked at Fox Master:

"We should go back."

"I'll make the arrangements right away. The carriage is already prepared for you and the Divine Child."

Fox Company bowed respectfully, his gaze burning as he looked at Su Rui, who was being held in Honeysuckle's arms.

Soon, the two were sitting in the car. Suri twitched her furry ears and began to play with the nine tails behind her.

Surprisingly, Suri didn't get angry with Ren Dong about this, or rather, this is just Suri's personality.

He expressed his dissatisfaction only briefly before focusing his attention on his furry ears and the nine tails behind him.

"The tail is fluffy."

Suri hugged her fluffy, soft tails, tried to curl up, and then wrapped her whole body in the nine tails, like a fluffy ball of yarn.

Ren Dong watched Su Rui amuse herself, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes, but also a touch of helplessness. Su Rui's attention was so easily diverted; she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Will the kids in the future be stupid?

Of course not. Su Rui is very intelligent; he just lacks a sense of urgency.

The higher-level system quickly stepped in to explain, acting almost like a mother protecting her child.

...The higher-level system ignored Ren Dong's idea, but taking this opportunity, Ren Dong also began to talk to the higher-level system about Su Rui:

"So, what exactly happened when you said Suri might leave me, and the timing was uncertain?"

Strictly speaking, Suri hasn't left you; she's just gone to another time and place. It's too complicated for you to understand. Just know that you have plenty of time to spend with Suri.

The higher-ups seemed impatient. Was it because of those previous ideas?

Honeysuckle continued, "So, who will be Suri's next host?"

You have no reason to know these things.

'How can I find out?'

Honeysuckle was still trying to ask more questions, but the higher-level system was ignoring her.

...Anyway, Su Rui had already materialized. Looking at the nine-tailed fox boy who was now under her control, Ren Dong gritted her teeth, and the urgency of losing Su Rui compelled her to speak:

"Su Rui, how much do you know about the higher-level system regarding this matter..."

"Was this orchestrated by the higher-level system?"

Although she had just been engrossed in her nine tails, rubbing them against her cheeks, Suri's attention was instantly drawn back after Honeysuckle spoke, and her ruby-like eyes stared straight at Honeysuckle.

"Gudu"

Stared at by Su Rui, Ren Dong subconsciously took a deep breath, swallowed, restrained her impulse, and then nodded.

Then, she watched as Su Rui opened the communication interface with the superior system and directly questioned, "Hey, Lao Deng, what exactly is going on? You didn't tell me any of this!"

【…】

The higher-level system did not respond.

Suri tried to continue asking questions, and Ren Dong took the opportunity to hug her prize, which she had worked so hard for, and rubbed Suri's fluffy ears:

"You can ask about the exact time you left."

"You mean this? I remember it."

Suri nodded, then activated the scanning vision, which was then displayed directly in Honeysuckle's field of vision.

Although Suri has materialized, their telepathic communication and Suri's abilities can still be used normally.

The message from the higher-level system is that Su Rui will end this mission on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

"...I can't see the date clearly, and besides, you knew you were leaving? You didn't even tell me."

Feeling somewhat resentful at being kept in the dark and deceived, Ren Dong pinched Su Rui's cheek.

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't expect to materialize either. Besides, I was just helping you out, wasn't I? Even good partners will eventually part ways!"

Su Rui shook her head in dissatisfaction, shook off Ren Dong's fingers, and then glanced at the message from the superior system:

"Tsk, Old Deng blocked me, so I can't see the dates anymore."

"Ok."

Ren Dong nodded, temporarily putting aside her concerns about when Su Rui left. Since the superior system said she didn't need to worry about it, she would accept it for the time being.

Now, Ren Dong realized something: Su Rui still simply treated her as a partner.

Unlike Honeysuckle, who always knew that Suri could materialize and considered her her intended partner, Suri knew nothing about it and simply treated it all as an interesting game.

...Suri needs to clearly understand her thoughts.

A meaningful glint flashed in Honeysuckle's eyes as she gently pinched Su Rui's cheek and asked:

Anything interesting has happened lately?

"I've materialized, isn't that interesting enough? It's infuriating that you knew from the beginning but didn't tell me. Isn't this more important than me not telling you the date?"

Suri deliberately twitched his ears, rubbing his furry ears against Ren Dong's cheek in dissatisfaction, and wagged his nine tails in Ren Dong's arms in a huff, before being hugged tightly by Ren Dong again.

"I do have a problem, but so does Suri, so how about we just let this go?"

"...That works too. By the way, I've materialized now."

Suri's eyes lit up, and then she waved from Honeysuckle's arms:

"I want to go back and eat, all kinds of things, like pizza, tempura, meatball sulagou, steamed lamb, steamed bear paw..."

Volume 1: 52 Reciting the Names of Dishes

Su Rui recited the menu for more than ten minutes, only stopping when the vehicle stopped at the shrine.

Ren Dong helplessly reached out to interrupt Su Rui: "Alright, I can prepare anything you want to eat, but you probably can't eat that much at once, right?"

"right."

Su Rui nodded, and then said:

"In that case, let's start with something simple, like pizza and meatball Syracuse pasta?"

Fox Master, who had witnessed the entire conversation between Honeysuckle and Suri from the passenger seat, gave Suri an apologetic smile after getting out of the car:

"I'm sorry, Divine Child. I didn't think there was much Syracuse cuisine in the Inner Eastern Kingdom, so it might take a little time. If you don't mind waiting, we can prepare it right away... However, the food in the Eastern Kingdom is also very delicious."

"Preparing will definitely take time... How about we try some tonkotsu ramen from the East first? And tempura or something like that?"

Suri nodded, broke free from Honeysuckle's embrace, and came to Fox Siren. Under her questioning gaze, she reached out and touched her head. White light shone, making Fox Siren feel warm and comfortable.

"Okay, consider this a reward for you. I want to eat all kinds of delicious food from now on, understand?"

"Thank you for your blessing!"

Instead of being angered by Su Rui's arrogant posture with her hands on her hips, Fox Si bowed to Su Rui with a happy expression, and then even skipped around to prepare some delicious food for Su Rui.

"I had no idea you had this ability?"

Honeysuckle, somewhat displeased, pulled Suri into her arms again:

"You didn't even tell me?" And you let someone else experience it for the first time, that's really naughty.

"What's there to say? After all, I want her to work obediently. Besides, this is an ability that Old Deng just told me when I materialized, and it will only be limited to the time I'm in this materialized state."

Suri rolled her eyes, grabbed Ren Dong's wrist, and started walking back:

"Alright, let's go! I need to go back and play games. Watch me dominate the game!"

"Didn't you want to try some delicious food?"

The thought of Texas still being in the room made Honeysuckle reluctant to let Suri go back now.

"It's okay, I can play games while I eat. I can operate the game without lifting a finger."

...I've forgotten what abilities Su Rui had after she materialized.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, after Su Rui materialized, Ren Dong always subconsciously felt that he had lost the abilities of those systems, but every move Su Rui made told her that it was all an illusion.

Soon, Suri pulled the reluctant Honeysuckle back to her room, where Texas was still playing games and waiting for them to return.

Noticing the door had been opened, Texas instinctively looked over and froze when she saw Su Rui holding Honeysuckle's wrist.

"Yo~ Texas, we're back."

Having materialized into a form capable of playing games and eating, Suri had already put all her unpleasantness behind her and happily greeted Texas.

"You are... Su Rui?"

Although Texas had never seen the white-haired, red-eyed, nine-tailed fox-like boy in front of her before, she recognized him by his subconscious affection for Ren Dong and his familiar voice.

"Yeah, I don't know why, but I have a physical form now. Hey, Honeysuckle, what are you doing?"

Suri wanted to walk past Texas to play the game, but Ren Dong picked her up in one go.

From an angle that Suri couldn't see, Honeysuckle winked at Texas.

Actually, it's nothing. Ren Dong just subconsciously wanted to assert her dominance over Su Rui. Although it was a bit unfriendly, she couldn't help it.

Texas paused for a moment after noticing Honeysuckle's gaze, then her eyes flashed with understanding, and she nodded to Honeysuckle.

"What kind of riddle are you two playing? Let me see."

Although Su Rui couldn't see the honeysuckle behind him, his scanning field had a playback function, allowing him to review and analyze it multiple times without missing any details.

To divert Su Rui's attention from this, Ren Dong quickly picked him up and carried him to the computer, placing him on a chair.

"It's nothing, I just want you to start playing games sooner, don't overthink it."

"Something's definitely off between you two, isn't it?"

Although he said that, Su Rui's attention was still on the game. He could sense that Honeysuckle and Texas had no ill intentions, and their friendliness towards him seemed to be a little excessive.

However, since the detection system seemed to be working properly, Su Rui didn't think much of it and began to focus her attention on the game.
