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

She just wanted the girl who had been praised by Su Rui to get out of Su Rui's sight as soon as possible.

"But please allow us to thank you..."

Alina found it strange and tried to persuade Talulah to stay, but Talulah wasn't going to pay her any attention unless...

Suri called out to Talulah, "How about we wait a minute? Can we kidnap Alina?"

'Why?' 'Have you taken a fancy to her?' Talulah instinctively gripped her sword, but didn't move.

"Because she's very interesting, and she can draw. She's an Infected, and Originium Arts are related to the mind. I noticed that your mental state is still a bit unstable. It seems that with your experience, it's a bit too hasty to try to understand Black Serpent's long memories."

Suri paused for a moment: "Even though I've erased the influence of those memories, your personality has become a bit extreme."

'I feel perfectly normal, like I've watched a lot of movies.'

"Of course I know, but watching so many movies with extreme viewpoints will definitely have an impact. Take her away, I have a way to make you feel better."

I feel better when she's not by your side.

With that in mind, Talulah decided to grant Suri's request.

There was no particular reason; it was simply because it was Suri's request.

So the girl stopped and turned to look at Alina:

"I need a place to rest, if you don't mind."

"No problem, my room is big enough for us to rest together. Although there isn't much food left, it's enough for us to eat."

Alina nodded in delight and led Talulah back to her dwelling, hidden from the sight of the other villagers who were hiding in their houses.

"So, she really does like to draw."

Suri showed Talulah the paintings that had been hidden away, as well as the painting that Alina was working on.

'not bad.'

Talulah glanced at it and simply commented, 'What do you think?'

“I don’t understand art, but why not just kidnap her? That would be so convenient. I could just talk to her for a bit and make her obey.”

Talulah couldn't help but laugh, which drew a puzzled look from Alina: "What's wrong?... My room is indeed very simple, I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Alina thought Talulah was laughing at her room, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But Talulah just smiled, and then Suri's voice came through the phone:

"Actually, she was just chatting with me."

"Huh?! Is anyone else here?"

The girl immediately revealed a wary look in her eyes, which Su Rui found quite amusing.

"Of course, even though you can't see me, I'm right here. I'll have Talulah come to help you."

I bought this person's item in Volume 2, Chapter 79.

His self-righteous but actually somewhat naive voice, along with his childlike way of taking credit, didn't make Alina feel arrogant at all. Instead, it made the girl cover her mouth and smile with her eyes crinkling.

Even Talulah's face was tense, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

"What are you two laughing about? Am I wrong?" Suri asked, puzzled.

"Yes, yes, you're right, cough cough."

Talulah choked on her own laughter, coughing uncomfortably twice before looking up at Alina, her gaze turning serious:

"To make a long story short, Miss Alina, I'd like to hire you. The salary and benefits are excellent; how about five gold coins a month?"

"gold?!"

Alina simply wanted to hear what Talulah had to say, and then she heard the word "gold coins." For the girl living in a border village of Ursus, the word "gold coins" was something that only existed in her mind and that she would almost never use.

But Alina never expected that she would actually hear such words today.

The girl's eyes widened involuntarily as she stared intently at Talulah.

“That’s a good idea,” Suri thought to Talulah. “But how do you plan to convince her?”

'Why don't you just take the money? I already have some stored in your system space, didn't I?'

"So this is what you were preparing for?"

"Of course not, I just didn't expect to need it."

As Talulah spoke, Suri took out five gold coins from her system space and placed them in her hand, which she then gently placed in front of Alina:

"Don't worry, it's not a dangerous job. I just think you're a good fit. However, you'll need to leave with me."

Even though it was just a gentle touch, the sound of the five gold coins clinking was deafening to the girl in front of her.

Alina stared at the gold coins in front of her, feeling as if she were dreaming, her mind blank, and she felt somewhat dazed.

"She looks like she's about to faint. Hey, Alina, wake up!"

Suri's voice jolted Alina out of her daze. She looked towards Talulah, the seagulls, and where Suri might be. Then, she took a deep breath and nervously placed her hand on her chest.

"What do you intend for me to do?"

Someone who can casually pull out five gold coins must be some big shot, right? Alina subconsciously tensed up.

Talulah didn't seem to notice Alina's increasingly awe-inspiring and even wary gaze; she simply raised her chin arrogantly.

"Your Originium Arts are related to the mind, right? I need you to do some things for me."

"I'm sorry, I..." Alina shuddered instinctively upon hearing Talulah's words, wanting to refuse.

Fortunately, Su Rui's voice interrupted her in time: "Don't be nervous. Actually, I'm the one who hired you. Simply put, you just need to listen to me."

"Is that so?" Alina paused for a moment, then looked at Talulah. Talulah nodded expressionlessly, thinking that whatever Suri said was fine.

Upon hearing Suri's words, Alina breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"I'm willing to take this job. So, when do we leave?"

Before Talulah could speak, Suri announced the arrangements:

"Talulah and I have things to do, so we'll take you with us when we get back. You can keep the gold coins for now, but don't even think about running away."

"Don't worry, I won't run away for five gold coins. You can get more by following me, can't you?"

The girl smiled playfully at Suri, but Talulah just stared at her expressionlessly.

"Oh well, anyway, Suri can only communicate with me telepathically," Talulah thought. Besides, Suri had already said that she hired Alina for her mental state, so there was no need to think about it too much.

Now that the matter is settled, Talulah plans to make some dinner and then get some rest.

Then Alina made a somewhat hesitant request:

"Excuse me, could I please give these five gold coins to my elderly parents who have been taking care of me? They've been so kind to me... I promise I won't run away, and for the first month, I don't want any payment, just some food!"

The girl's concern and kindness towards her family made Talulah feel more favorably toward her, and she nodded: "Okay."

"Wait a moment."

Suri's voice rang out again, stopping Alina, who was excitedly planning to go directly to find the two elderly people.

Then, dozens of silver coins appeared on the table:

"These are silver coins, equivalent to those five gold coins. If you want to give them to them, you should give them the silver coins instead."

"Okay, thank you."

Alina immediately understood, nodded gratefully, and then looked at Talulah:

"Then please take these five gold coins back. Thank you very much for your generosity."

"It doesn't matter. Consider it payment for settling your family. These five gold coins are yours too."

Talulah nodded, watching Alina's surprised figure as she left.

'You care about her a lot.'

"It's so-so, but I feel that if she's in a bad mood, it will also affect her work efficiency."

So, you're worried about my condition? Talulah's mood improved somewhat. Suri hired Alina for her sake, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, even if Suri had feelings for Alina, Talulah believed that she would never lose. With her special relationship with Suri and her own excellence, Talulah was very confident in herself.

However, Talulah didn't say anything, but instead went to the stove to prepare dinner:

"What would you like to eat tonight? We have time, so we can make more."

Talulah couldn't help but smile as she thought about how Suri could use her body to eat.

"Let me see. I'll make some simple pasta. I'll give you the recipe and ingredients."

As Suri spoke, she placed the ingredients on the table next to Talulah and then demonstrated how to prepare the food to Talulah's view.

Of course, he didn't forget to remind them: "We're very close to the snowfield guerrillas; my scanning range has detected them."

"Well, and then? This is a good thing."

Talulah nodded and began chopping vegetables to prepare for cooking. In preparation for going out with Suri, Suri had been practicing Talulah's cooking skills for some time beforehand so that they wouldn't have to eat only heated canned food.

"What I mean is, in order to build rapport, you can't just eat and drink like a king in front of the starving and poor guerrillas in the snowy plains, so this should be the last meal."

Volume 2, Chapter 80: The Ruthless Superior System

Talulah paused for a moment while chopping vegetables, then gave a soft "hmm".

It's a bit of a shame that we can't eat delicious food, but it's not unacceptable. It's just a short period of time, and it's also to help those in need.

Talulah felt she could endure it, but at the same time, she remembered some things:

"I remember you asked me to prepare some food and supplies. That should be enough to feed many people. Things should be better after the guerrillas meet us, right?"

"Of course we will, but we'll give them those supplies after we've gained their trust. Otherwise, if we give them things without saying anything, it'll make us look like suckers."

Suri paused for a moment, then presented her plan to Talulah again:

“As I said before, I can discover many illegal mining farms through scanning. I can use this intelligence to gain their trust, and then talk about cooperation, using those resources as a condition for our provision. This way, we will have more leverage.”

"I thought you considered them all as your own people."

Talulah had already started cooking vegetables and meat in the hot oil, a slight smile playing on her lips as she chatted casually with Suri.

"Of course they will be on our side, but not yet. They will be on our side as the cooperation deepens."

Su Rui made a clear distinction in this regard, and could not misjudge the relationship between the two sides because of her goodwill towards the Snowfield Guerrilla.

Talulah nodded, then, feeling that Alina had been gone for a while, asked Suri with some concern:

"Where's Alina? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

"Don't worry, she didn't run away. She's probably talking to those two old people about leaving. I think she was crying."

As Suri spoke, she directly showed Alina and the old man embracing each other in the scanned field of vision.

"Aren't we supposed to leave with Alina in a while?"

Talulah was somewhat puzzled.

"Yeah, so after crying like this, Alina will have to wait a few more days before leaving with us. She'll be in an awkward position during that time, won't she?"

Suri couldn't help but laugh gleefully. Talulah didn't care about such things, but she was also infected by Suri's laughter, and a smile appeared on her lips.

After Alina had talked with the two elderly people and even shed tears over the parting, she finally wiped her eyes and pushed open her door.

Then you see "Talulah" sitting at the table, enjoying a delicious dinner.

After seeing Alina, Talulah nodded casually, then pointed to the other side and said, "I've prepared a portion for you. Hurry up and eat it, or it'll get cold."

"Yes, thank you very much."

Alina nodded, prepared her dinner, and sat down in front of "Talulah." However, she felt increasingly strange, as if the "Talulah" in front of her was a completely different person.

Suri also noticed Alina's strange look, after all, he was the one controlling Talulah's body to eat.

Suri waved dismissively at Alina in front of him and said casually:

"I'm Suri, the one who was just talking to you. I'm temporarily using Talulah's body to eat. Mmm, delicious~"

"So that's how it is."
