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

Honeysuckle smiled, not forgetting her promise to Texas; the two of them would form an alliance to fight against the women who appeared around Suri.

Although it feels a little strange to think about these things in such a sad atmosphere.

Finally, Ren Dong cupped Su Rui's cheeks and sealed his lips with hers. Then, as they parted, he looked at the saliva on his and Su Rui's lips, a smile in his eyes, his fingers caressing the cheek of the person in front of him:

"I also prepared a gift for you, which I got in exchange for the progress of the system's materialization. There's also something you've always wanted, but since I don't have that many points, there are only two items..."

Volume 2, Chapter 66: Su Rui: I'm not happy.

In other words, the gift that Honeysuckle gave him was those advanced functional plugins provided by the higher-level system?

Su Rui's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but want to ask, but just as he opened his lips to make a sound, he heard a notification from the superior system in his ear:

Time's up, it's time for your next destination.

"You damned old man..."

Suri's original question turned into a curse, which then turned into a burst of light particles in the arms of Honeysuckle and Texas, leaving only the clothes she was wearing.

Texas and Honeysuckle stood there, clutching the clothes Su Rui had left behind, pausing for a moment before exchanging a glance.

Honeysuckle spoke first: "Shall we go? To Lungmen, to that Penguin Logistics."

"Ah."

Texas nodded, then turned and walked towards her room.

Suri left, which meant they had no reason to stay in this place any longer.

-

Meanwhile, in the frigid Ursus, in a castle of a renowned duchy, a girl with gray hair, two horns on her head, and a long, scaly tail was receiving instruction from her adoptive father.

The girl's name is Talulah, and her race is Drak, which means noble dragon.

Suri reverted to her data form and appeared in Talulah's mind, watching her receive instruction from a gloomy and malicious-looking guy named Koschei.

“So, Talulah, those people are deliberately manipulating things; they are foolish, and that’s why they need people like you and me to lead them.”

Just as Talulah was listening to the old man spouting nonsensical nonsense with boredom, Suri, who was already annoyed by being separated from Honeysuckle, also complained directly in Talulah's mind:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. There are plenty of wise people among the people. It's just that in most cases, people are indeed quite blindly obedient, but that's only because they haven't found an opportunity to resist."

Talulah was startled. Instead of paying attention to Koschei, who was still talking nonchalantly, she sat up straight from her lazy posture and looked around warily.

"What's wrong? My daughter, what are you looking for?" Kosiché noticed Talulah's unusual behavior.

"I heard a voice."

Talulah glanced around in confusion, then shook her head: "But it seems like I'm hallucinating."

"It's not a hallucination. I now live in your mind. In short, I am your system and can provide a lot of help."

Suri spoke somewhat absentmindedly, as he examined the gifts Honeysuckle had left him, not in the mood to spend much time with his current host.

The records left by the higher-level system also included a message left by Ren Dong after she purchased those functional plugins for him:

"The high-speed camouflage function can make your host invisible even when moving at high speeds, and can even make the vehicle invisible as well. However, it should be used with caution and not abused."

"And, the sense of taste. You little glutton, you must miss the taste of food after losing your physical body, right? I found this in the list of the higher system. You can use the host's body to taste, or even temporarily use her body to eat."

...Su Rui didn't speak, but just stared at the message displayed by the superior system for a long time, still wondering what kind of mystery was hidden in those two simple sentences.

However, while Su Rui remained silent in the face of Ren Dong's message, the superior system was not idle either.

Talulah's vision then came the introduction of Suri from the superior system, which could help her do many things, retrieve information, and provide assistance in battle.

Similarly, the higher-level system added a system materialization progress indicator in the corner of Talulah's field of vision, displaying it as negative 60%.

'Why is it negative?'

Talulah couldn't understand and instinctively asked, "Shouldn't it start from zero percent?"

[Due to a system plugin update, the balance has become negative; simply put, it's debt left over from the previous user.]

Why should I have to pay the debts left by the previous user?

Talulah grumbled to herself with some dissatisfaction, completely ignoring Koschke who was still talking non-stop, and began to focus on communicating with the higher-level system.

[...The current host can also do the same thing.]

In other words, I can also make the next host owe some physicalization progress after the physicalization progress is full, right?

Talulah thought for a moment, then shook her head. Although the features that could be purchased with the materialization progress were indeed interesting, she felt that her family probably wouldn't need them.

Moreover, according to the introduction of the higher system, the system will only help individuals who are good to the world, so everyone is a good person, why make things difficult for each other?

With this in mind, Talulah asked, "So, how do I use my system?"

Suri isn't in a good mood right now, but you'll feel better once you get to know him better. He's capable of many things.

Subsequently, the superior system went offline and stopped responding to Talulah's questions, much like an irresponsible salesperson who finished the basic introduction and then left.

After repeatedly failing to reach the higher-level system, Talulah began to call out to Suri in her mind: 'Suri, can you hear me?'

“I can hear you. When you speak to the higher-level system in your mind, I can also hear your voice.”

Suri glanced at the message left by Honeysuckle, casually answered Talulah's question, and said with dissatisfaction:

"Okay, I'll definitely help you. So, you can tell me what you need now. But you're in class right now, right? I'm a bit busy too."

'Oh, I see. Then, I'll leave things to you from now on, my partner.'

"...You're quite polite, of course I'll help you."

Suri hadn't expected Talulah to be so formal and serious. Didn't she have even the slightest doubt? What if the higher-level system was lying?

Never mind, in future collaborations, regardless of whether she has any doubts, she will realize that Su Rui is there to help her.

Without much thought, Su Rui directly took a screenshot of Honeysuckle's message and decorated it in her system space, placing it in a place where she could see it easily.

"..." Turning around and glancing at the supplies left behind by Honeysuckle in the system space, Su Rui subconsciously recalled their adventures, their life in the Eastern Kingdom, and Little Lily of the Valley.

"...What a damn superior system."

Suri couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

"What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?"

Talulah asked herself with some concern.

Two more chapters in an hour

Volume 2, Chapter 67: You're Amazing!

"It's nothing, I just finished my vacation and I'm in a bit of a bad mood."

Suri wasn't at the point where she would casually tell a stranger the reason for her sadness. Although Talulah was the host, the two of them had only just met.

Moreover, Su Rui's mind is still full of honeysuckle; he's even trying to figure out how to get back.

Talulah nodded as if she understood, then looked at Koschei, who had noticed her distraction.

"My daughter, you seem a little distracted? Are you thinking about something interesting?"

The old black snake looked at Talulah sitting behind the table with a smile, but his expression, due to Talulah's prejudice and his own temperament, seemed sinister and infuriating.

Suri glanced at the message left by the person again, but ultimately focused her attention on the work in front of her. She casually glanced at Koschie in front of her and opened the scanning field of vision for Talulah.

"How about we give him a good beating? He seems to be... let me see... shall we kill him?"

Suri, who was initially still a bit confused, immediately changed her mind after confirming Koschei's identity and actions through the internet and her own scanning abilities.

But Talulah shook her head in her mind: 'I'm no match for Koschei right now.'

"I can help you, at least I'll give it a try. You've tried before, so the worst that can happen is you'll just get beaten up again, right?"

Suri casually remarked, displaying the information from the scanned field of vision to Talulah's eyes:

"Okay, I'll give you some hints. Just follow my instructions."

'Can we really win?'

"If you trust my command, then we can win."

Suri spoke with great certainty, and Talulah agreed. She had always disliked this man who seemed to be her adoptive father but was actually her enemy.

So, when Koschei approached her again, Talulah suddenly flipped the table over and swung her fist at Koschei's face.

"Oh, no wonder. It seems our energetic little dragon wants to challenge me again, but your strength still needs to be improved."

Kosichrie was not surprised. Instead, he dodged Talulah's entire attack with a quick movement and then retaliated with his own fist.

"Step back, then roll 35 degrees to the left front and sweep his legs with your tail."

Suri immediately offered a suggestion, but Talulah had some doubts: 'Is this really okay?'

Talulah's distraction caused her to be hit by Koschei's fist, and she immediately cried out in pain.

"Idiot, watch out for his fists. Never mind, clench your fists. He's going to attack from both sides, block him with this stance."

Suri noticed that Talulah had been attacked because of her sluggishness, so she directly showed her how to defend herself.

This time, Talulah didn't say much. She followed Suri's instructions with some skepticism and perfectly blocked Koschei's fist, taking the opportunity to punch him hard across the face.

Kosic's eyes flashed with surprise, but even more so with delight, as he was forced back a few steps by the blow.

"Oh!? My daughter, you've made great progress. It seems you've been working hard on your training in private."

Suri didn't want to listen to Koschei's nonsense and directly reminded Talulah:

"Don't listen to his nonsense, keep charging forward. This time, don't hit his face, kick him instead."

"Ah."

Having established a basic level of trust with Suri, Talulah responded softly, then rushed towards Kosiche. Following Suri's prompting, she feinted past Kosiche's defense and then kicked him in the face.

However, the location that Suri originally marked was actually Kosic's crotch.

"You really like acting on your own... Fine, take a step back, then retaliate."

Suri didn't care that Talulah hadn't listened to her. After all, she wasn't like Honeysuckle, so it didn't matter if she didn't trust her.

After casually giving Talulah a hint about defense, Suri once again showed the attack route. This time, instead of giving direct instructions, she displayed several attack plans in her field of vision.

It's clear that Talulah really enjoys attacking Kosich's face, as she has chosen to do so several times in a row.

"...You'd better change your attack point occasionally, otherwise even a pig would know how to defend against your attacks."

Suri looked helplessly at Koschei, who had already figured out Talulah's tactics and blocked her attacks several times, and casually scanned Talulah's stamina.

This Draco is still very young and lacks growth and training. It's impossible for him to kill Koschei with Talulah now. Moreover, even if Suri uses her ultimate micro-management skills, Talulah could still kill Koschei.

It won't be so easy for Talulah, who hasn't grown up yet, to slip away.

Moreover, Talulah is unwilling to accept his advice now... At least Honeysuckle believed Suri back then.

Thinking of this, Suri lowered her opinion of Talulah a little more, while raising her opinion of Honeysuckle a little more.

He didn't speak again, but simply watched the confrontation between Talulah and Kosichrie, using the images in his field of vision to guide Talulah's actions.

Talulah, who likes to make inappropriate decisions, ultimately lost to Koschei. First, her stamina was not enough to match Koschei's, and second, Talulah was not as durable as Koschei at the moment.

Finally, she also liked to act on her own initiative, directly betraying the victory that Su Rui had originally planned.

So, cooperation and trust are not just standard requirements, but rather a very high standard?

Even hosts vary in quality... Although Suri knew that Talulah lacked training and tempering, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with her willful behavior.

So, he didn't speak again until Talulah was exhausted and lying on the ground gasping for breath.

Koschl, however, looked at Talulah lying on the ground with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and praised her:

"You did very well, my daughter. Given time, you will surely surpass me. Take a good rest. That's all for today's lesson."

After saying that, Kosiché turned and left, leaving Talulah alone there, continuing to breathe heavily.

However, the maids in the castle were very considerate; after Kosichrie left, they picked up Talulah and took her back to her own room.

Talulah excitedly shared her achievements with Suri:

"Suri, you're amazing! I've never had such a big advantage against Kosiche before. With some more practice, we're sure to win!"

"If you hadn't acted recklessly, victory would have been yours long ago," Suri casually put a period in Talulah's field of vision, as a response to her.
