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

As morning light streamed into the control room again, Remy slowly awoke. She found herself covered with Suri's coat, while Suri prepared breakfast tea.

"Did you brew this tea?" she asked in surprise.

"Data analysis shows this is the best time to drink tea," Suri said expressionlessly. "I added double the amount of honey."

Remian's aura shone with a warm light: "Thank you."

"It's just the best option," Suri said, turning her face away. "It wasn't prepared specifically for you."

But the data stream shows that he was simulating the best tea-making process in the early hours of the morning.

The church bells rang, and a new day began. On the edge of Lateran, two watchmen continued their mission, occasionally stealing a moment of sweetness for themselves.

The moving plots moved smoothly across the wasteland, the church steeple gleaming softly gold in the morning light. Suri stood before the control panel, her long silver hair almost transparent in the glow of the data streams. Her slender fingers swiftly swiped across the control panel, executing a series of precise commands.

"Structural integrity improved to 98%, energy efficiency optimized to 94%, and the defense system upgrade completed." His voice carried a hint of satisfaction. "Completed three hours ahead of schedule."

Remianne pushed her wheelchair closer, the halo glowing warmly in the morning light: "It's fixed so quickly? I thought I could watch you work a little longer."

Suri gave a soft hum, her silver eyelashes trembling slightly: "Such a simple question doesn't require much time."

"Now..." Remian's halo gently touched the back of his hand, "Isn't it time to take a break?"

Suri glanced at her: "There are still 13 minor systems that need optimization..."

"Those can wait," Remien interrupted him softly. "The observatory on the top floor of the cathedral hasn't been checked yet."

The observatory on the top floor of the church is rarely used. It offers a panoramic view overlooking the entire moving plot and the distant wilderness. A gentle morning breeze ruffles Suri's silver hair as he checks the calibration status of his stargazing instruments.

"The equipment is working normally," he said casually. "There was no need to make a special trip up here."

Remian pushed her wheelchair to the railing. "But the view here is beautiful, isn't it?" Her aura shimmered slightly in the morning light. "And...it's so quiet."

Su Rui's silver eyelashes trembled slightly: [Environmental safety level detected: 100%, no monitoring equipment.] His data stream quietly displayed a line of small text: "Indeed suitable for solitude."

"Come sit down for a bit?" Remien patted the bench next to her. "The system's fixed anyway."

Su Rui hesitated for a moment, then sat down beside her: "It's just a temporary repair; further work will require..."

He suddenly stopped speaking. Remien leaned gently on his shoulder, a soft halo enveloping the two of them.

"Just a little while," she said softly, "It won't take long."

Suri's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed. Her silver hair moved automatically without wind, and a data stream quietly recorded the current environmental parameters: [Wind speed 2.3 m/s, temperature 22.4℃, humidity...]

"Stop recording data," Remi'an interrupted him with a light laugh. "Just enjoy the moment."

A gentle morning breeze swept across the observatory, carrying the fragrance of distant flowers. Suri's silver hair occasionally brushed against Remi's cheek, bringing a touch of coolness.

"Your hair seems to have grown a bit longer," Remian said softly. "Would you like me to trim it?"

"No need," Su Rui immediately refused. "Silver Dust will automatically maintain its optimal length."

"But I want to help you trim it," she said, her aura softening, "like a normal lover."

Suri's ears turned slightly red: "We're not...just ordinary lovers."

"What's that?" Remian chuckled. "A data optimization partner?"

Suri turned her face away: "...Say what you will."

The sunlight gradually warmed, casting dappled shadows on the observatory. Remian's halo gently touched Suri's arm: "You know what? Before I met you, I never imagined I'd come to a place like this."

"This remote area really isn't worth much," Suri said calmly. "If it weren't for your insistence..."

"It's not because of that," she interrupted softly, "it's because I came with you."

Suri's silver eyelashes trembled slightly, and the data stream quietly displayed: "[Heart rate increased by 12%.]" "...This is just due to environmental factors."

Remian's aura brightened with a smile: "So, is the current environment...suitable for kissing?"

Suri suddenly stood up: "We should check the other systems."

But his data stream shows: [Environmental score 98.7%, suitable for close contact.]

Around noon, the temperature at the observatory gradually rose. Suri ultimately stayed behind and was adjusting a telescope.

"Look there," he suddenly said. "There's a shooting star at 27 degrees north of east."

Remien looked in the direction she was being directed to and saw a shooting star streak across the sky: "So beautiful... You could even predict this?"

"Basic astronomical calculations," Suri said casually. "Do you need me to tell you about meteor composition analysis?"

"No need," Remi'an chuckled. "Let's keep a little romance in mind."

Suri's silver eyelashes trembled slightly: "[Delete ingredient analysis report.]"...Suit yourself."

Volume 17, Chapter 969: Sakota's sugar content is excessive.

In the afternoon, the two had a simple meal at the observatory. Remy prepared some snacks, while Suri's data stream was quietly analyzing their nutritional components.

"This contains too much sugar," he frowned. "It's bad for your health."

"It's okay to do it once in a while." Remien handed him a cookie. "Want to try some? I made it myself."

Suri hesitated for a moment, then took the biscuit. The data stream showed: "[Sugar content 23.7%, but includes special emotional parameters.]" "...Not bad."

"Just alright?" Remian's aura flickered slightly. "I specifically adjusted the recipe to suit your taste."

Suri's ears turned red again: "...How did you know my taste?"

"Observe the data," she smiled slyly, "just like you observe me."

As the sun began to set, the observatory was bathed in golden light. Remian's aura softened gently in the twilight: "Thank you for spending time with me today."

Su Rui turned her face away: "It was just a routine inspection..."

"I know," she interrupted softly, "but thank you anyway."

The data stream quietly reveals: "[Today's intimate contact time increased by 347% compared to usual.]" "...We need to work twice as hard to make up for it tomorrow."

"Okay," Remi'an chuckled. "I'll work with you tomorrow."

The evening breeze ruffled their hair, creating a warm scene under the setting sun. In this undisturbed high place, time itself seemed to soften.

As night fell, Suri was preparing to leave the observatory. Remien suddenly tugged at his sleeve: "Want to look at the stars a little longer?"

"Starlight data can be accessed at any time..." Suri stopped mid-sentence as Remien gently kissed his cheek.

The data stream froze instantly, and the silver hair moved automatically without wind.

"This is tonight's goodnight kiss." Remien's aura shone warmly. "See you tomorrow."

Suri stood still as the data stream slowly displayed: [Suggestion: Increase the frequency of use of the observatory.]

Under the Lateran starry sky, two figures left the observatory one after the other. One pushed a wheelchair, the other followed behind, their silver and white hair swaying gently in the moonlight.

The next morning, Suri arrived at the observatory early. Data showed that he had gotten up 1.7 hours earlier than usual and was quietly adjusting the layout of the observatory.

[Add sunshades, optimize seating comfort, and adjust for the best stargazing angle.] Yin Chen quickly executed the instructions: "Adjust the temperature to 22℃ and the humidity to 45%."

When Remienne arrived, the observatory had been completely renovated. "It's changed a lot," she said in surprise.

"Routine optimization," Su Rui said casually, "to improve observation efficiency."

However, the data stream shows that the improved comfort primarily benefits wheelchair users.

The morning's observation work became exceptionally long. Suri checked the equipment while glancing at Remian every now and then. The data stream recorded 27 eye contact moments, but he quickly looked away each time.

"That star..." Remian suddenly pointed to the sky, "Isn't it incredibly bright?"

"Sirius, magnitude -1.46," Su Rui replied quickly, "8.6 light-years away, surface temperature..."

"It's beautiful enough," Remi'an interrupted softly. "You don't need to know so much data."

Suri's silver eyelashes trembled slightly: "[Detailed astronomical data removed.]...It is indeed beautiful."

At lunchtime, Remien brought in new snacks. Suri's data stream immediately began analysis, but this time he raised no objections.

"Sugar content is 23.9%," he said softly, "but...it's acceptable."

Remian's aura shone with delight: "You've finally learned not to be a spoilsport."

"It's just based on a comprehensive evaluation," Suri said, turning her face away, "taking into account the producer's emotional investment."

The data stream shows: [The weight of sentiment parameters has been increased to 30%.]

In the afternoon, Suri taught Remienne how to use a telescope. His silver hair occasionally brushed against her aura, creating subtle energy fluctuations.

"Adjust the focus like this." His voice was gentler than usual, "Take it slow..."

Remian's aura flickered gently: "You are very patient when you teach."

"Just make sure the equipment is used correctly," Suri replied quickly, "to avoid damaging precision instruments."

However, the data stream showed that he spent 3.4 times more time providing guidance than usual.

As evening falls, the observatory welcomes its most beautiful moment. The setting sun dyes the clouds golden red, and the distant wilderness seems to be ablaze.

"At this moment..." Remian whispered, "shouldn't we have a sunset kiss?"

Suri's silver eyelashes trembled slightly: "[Such customs do exist in traditional culture.]"...If you insist."

This kiss was more skillful than before; the data stream quietly rated it: [Skill upgraded to A grade.]

"Great progress," Remi'an chuckled. "Have you been practicing in private?"

"Data analysis and optimization," Su Rui answered seriously, "based on previous performance evaluations."

However, the data stream shows that he did indeed conduct 27 simulations in the early hours of the morning.

Night fell, and starlight bathed the observatory. Just as Suri was about to leave, Remien stopped him again: "Want to watch one more shooting star with me?"

"The probability of a meteor appearing is less than 0.03%..." Su Rui's words suddenly stopped because a meteor was streaking across the sky.

"It seems that probability isn't absolute." Remian's aura shone with a soft light.

Suri was silent for a moment, and the data stream quietly updated: [The probability of special events needs to be recalculated.] "...Wait ten more minutes."

Under the Lateran starry sky, two figures nestled together on the observatory. One counted the stars, the other recorded data, but at that moment, they were both immersed in the same tender moment.

The wind high above ruffled their hair, carrying the distinctive scent of the mobile city—a mixture of metal, fuel, and a hint of wilderness dust. But this scent seemed now imbued with a sweet, almost cloying warmth. Suri tilted his head slightly, his lips pressed against Remian's, a tentative yet undeniably assertive grasp. His arrogance transformed into a focused aggression, as if this wasn't a shared kiss, but a contest where he had to gain the upper hand. He could taste the faint, frosting-like sweetness of her lips, a flavor that miraculously complemented her outward softness.

Remian's initial reaction was tinged with a slight, unexpected tremor, which softened quickly, not as complete submission, but as a more relaxed acceptance. Her fingers gently traced the collar of his uniform, not tightening, but simply resting there like a silent anchor. When he finally pulled back slightly, the silver thread of their kiss broke just before their lips touched, and he saw a clear smile in her lake-blue eyes, along with a hint of... knowing teasing.

"Looks like someone's unusually eager to perform today?" Her voice was slightly hoarse from the kiss, like a feather brushing against the heart.

Volume 17, Chapter 970: Pride is Pride

Su Rui gave a soft snort, raising his chin slightly, trying to maintain his usual arrogant demeanor, which seemed to show impatience with everything. Unfortunately, his slightly reddened ears and still-breathing breath betrayed him. "I just thought the scenery here was nice, and it just so happened that you were here too," he said deliberately in a casual tone, his gaze lingering on her slightly moist and rosy lips.

Remianne laughed, her clear laughter carried on the wind. "Oh? Just because the scenery is nice?" She deliberately moved closer, almost feeling his breath. "I thought our young master Su Rui had finally given in."

"Stop talking nonsense." Su Rui turned her face away, but couldn't suppress the slight upturn of her lips. He liked her slightly provocative intimacy, which made him feel that his "condescension" wasn't so one-sided. He reached out and somewhat possessively wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him, and the two of them looked together at the desolate land that kept receding beyond the edge of the mobile city.

The massive city slabs rumbled forward steadily, their tracks crushing rocks and shoving aside bushes. Beyond the city's colossal metal walls, the Originium Bugs, attracted by the moving city's disturbance or attempting to climb atop it, became a daily, tedious nuisance for the edge-guards. They varied in size, their carapaces gleaming with an unhealthy sheen in the dim light, clumsily yet persistently trying to approach this moving metal fortress.

"Tsk, what a noisy and ugly bunch." Suri frowned, his tone full of undisguised disgust, as if looking at these creatures would defile his eyes. But he didn't let go of Remian's arm.

“Hmm, just part of the daily work.” Remien watched with great interest, even squinting her eyes slightly as if assessing the distance and number. “However, it seems that there are more approaching today than during ping.”

Just then, a slightly larger Originium Bug with a dark red carapace suddenly darted out from behind a protruding rock and accelerated toward the metal wall of the moving city. It was obviously much faster than its kind.

Almost simultaneously, Suri and Remien exchanged a glance, and their other free hand moved.

Su Rui's movements were characterized by their unique elegance and efficiency. He didn't even turn around completely; with a flick of his wrist, a beautifully crafted gun with dark patterns inlaid on its shaft was already in his hand. His arm extended gracefully, and the aiming process was so brief as to be almost negligible, exuding an almost innate confidence.

Remian's movements, however, appeared more effortless and casual. She seemed to pull her Guardian Gun from an inconspicuous bag at her side, her movements fluid and natural, without the slightest unnecessary flourish. Her aim even seemed somewhat nonchalant, her face still bearing that relaxed smile.

The two gunshots almost overlapped, but were subtly separated by a very brief moment.

Suri's bullet tore through the air with pinpoint accuracy, striking the Originium Bug's head first; the crisp sound of its carapace shattering was carried by the wind. Almost simultaneously, Remian's bullet struck a joint on the same side of the Originium Bug, causing its already unbalanced body, weakened by the head injury, to tilt completely, tumbling and being swept under the city's tracks, disappearing from sight.

“Hmph, mine,” Suri declared immediately, raising his chin even higher. His confidence in his marksmanship was ingrained in his very being.

Remien blinked, her tone innocent. "Oh dear, but I think I hit it too, you know? And without my follow-up shot, it might have been able to twitch and crawl a few more steps." She tapped her gun barrel lightly with her finger. "Is that considered a joint achievement?"

"Who wants to share the spoils with you?" Su Rui scoffed, but a competitive glint ignited in her eyes. "I clearly hit the vital point first. But since you're not satisfied..." He tightened his grip on her arm, his voice laced with provocation, "Shall we have a contest?"

“That suits me perfectly.” Remian’s smile deepened, her lake-blue eyes gleaming with eager anticipation. “What bet?”

“Same rules as always. The loser…” Su Rui deliberately dragged out his words, turned his face to the side, leaned close to her ear, and lowered his voice, “…has to listen to me tonight.”

A warm breath brushed against her earlobe, and Remianne flinched slightly, but her smile only widened, tinged with a mischievous glint: "Oh? It sounds like someone's made up their mind no matter who wins or loses. Well, fine, I agree. But if you lose," she lowered her voice, mimicking his soft whisper, "you'll have to be my pillow all night long, and you're not allowed to complain."
