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

"Including the maid I met at the beginning?" Suri was stunned for a moment before she understood why the maid was only surprised when she saw her, but didn't say anything more.

“Of course.” Talulah said, picking up Suri and placing him on her lap, then gently stroking Suri’s cheek.

"It seems you are quite adept at using magic... even the Black Serpent might not be as skilled as you."

Suri rolled her eyes in exasperation. Talulah's ability was practically a basic version of the scanning vision, wasn't it? Although it was a super simplified version, it could still serve its purpose.

"Wasn't this all to find you?" Talulah chuckled, suddenly standing up and looking down at Suri, who had nowhere left to run.

"So, my queen, did you return this time just to see me?"

"No, actually, I'm here to deliver a package to you."

As Suri spoke, she placed the package meant for Talulah out of thin air beside her and gestured to Talulah, "Take a look quickly."

There was no other way, since Suri's hands were currently restrained by Talulah and she couldn't move them on her own.

Talulah glanced at the package but didn't seem to care: "This isn't particularly urgent. Let's talk about you first. How many hosts have you had? How have you been so far?"

"This is the third one. So far, I'm doing pretty well. Apart from a little excitement in my life, there's nothing else."

Suri glanced at Talulah's desk, then used her scanning vision to find the snacks inside. She opened the drawer, picked out a small cake, and answered Talulah's questions somewhat indistinctly while eating it.

“Really? That’s fine too.” Talulah nodded.

Volume 3, Chapter 174: Talulah's Accusation and the Counterattack

Although Suri doesn't have a physical form yet, Talulah isn't going to give up so easily. She still doesn't want Suri to leave, even if it's just to keep Suri by her side and let her feel the reassuring aura she exudes.

"So, Suri, when will you be able to have a physical form?"

"Even if you ask me, I don't know the answer to this kind of thing. After all, the higher-level system won't tell me information directly. Although Exusiai could tell me... Oh, Exusiai said she doesn't want to tell you."

"She won't mind, will she? After all, she's your host, and sooner or later she'll develop a relationship with you like this, so there's no need to care so much."

Talulah smiled and released Suri's wrist, then sat back down on the sofa and patted her thigh at Suri.

Suri glared at her irritably, but still sat on the armrest next to Talulah: "So, what other twisted arguments do you have? Just say them all."

"Of course, although this is not your body, isn't the body just a container for you anyway?"

Talulah smiled and explained, "So, whether it's the physical body or not, as long as the inner self is you and I are close, isn't that enough?"

"...I still can't quite accept it. Let's talk about something else first. Have you finished your work for today? I can help you." Also, Exusiai seems to dislike Talulah; she's unwilling to share the progress of her face materialization.

Suri shifted her gaze somewhat uncomfortably, moved slightly on the armrest, and looked at the documents beside her.

"Let's not talk about work at this time; these documents are not a difficult thing for me."

As Talulah spoke, she leaned against Suri, closed her eyes, and felt the gentle and relaxing aura emanating from Suri.

"Oh, right, I just remembered something."

As Suri spoke, she reached out and pinched Talulah's horn, gently stroking it with her fingers.

"What?" Talulah gently raised her head, so that Suri wouldn't have to release Talulah's horn because of her sudden movement.

"Of course it's the internal guards. They just watched me sneak in without reporting to you or stopping me. Isn't that dereliction of duty?"

As Suri spoke, she couldn't help but feel annoyed: "What if you really encountered this situation? Would they continue to neglect their duties like this?"

With this thought in mind, Suri couldn't help but complain angrily, only to hear Talulah laughing loudly.

"Hey, I'm worried about you, what's with this reaction?"

"Because the internal security guards discovered you a long time ago and sent me a message."

"But I didn't receive anything... Are you using some kind of special magical communication? Like your spies?"

Suri paused for a moment, looked at Talulah, and then realized something: not all information needs to be communicated using electronic signals; he had been careless.

"Yes, I never expected that even my queen would have things she missed."

As Talulah spoke, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. Did this mean that she could take advantage of the fact that Su Rui couldn't find out, and then plan how to capture each of Su Rui's previous hosts, lock them in her basement, and make Su Rui keep her company every day?

With this thought in mind, Talulah couldn't help but smile happily, only to be tapped on the head by Suri.

"What's wrong? My Queen, it hurts so much~" Talulah looked up at Suri with a pitiful expression.

"What's there to say? The look on your face tells me you're up to no good."

"How could I possibly do anything bad to my queen?"

Talulah smiled and reassured Suri: "By the way, did you really come here just to deliver a package?"

"Otherwise what?" Suri gave Talulah an annoyed look, then reached for the briefcase that was supposed to be handed to Talulah earlier.

"Here, open it yourself. The password is ****."

After speaking, Suri looked at Talulah in front of her, watched her take the suitcase from her hands, and then opened it before explaining:

"This is a package that Wei Yanwu had Penguin Logistics deliver to you. He's a relative, so I didn't even look inside. Oh, by the way..."

As Suri spoke, she took out Exusiai's phone and pointed it at Talulah in front of her: "Smile, I'm going to record the video of you opening the package."

As she spoke, Suri stood up from Talulah's lap and sat down on the desk in front of her, carefully taking a picture of Talulah's expression at that moment.

"You really are reckless."

Talulah smiled helplessly, looking at the contents of the suitcase. There was nothing special in it: a few toys that Talulah cherished as a child, a photo album, and a few letters from Wei Yanwu, Chen Huijie, and Wen Yue.

"...What would you do if I lost my temper right now?"

Talulah suddenly looked up at Suri, causing Suri to instinctively take a step back.

"What do you want to do? This isn't my body; it'll be a big problem if you hurt it."

But Suri was already sitting at the desk, with nowhere to retreat. He could only watch as Talulah put the briefcase aside, then got up and came back to him.

Talulah had no intention of hurting Suri; she simply reached out and pinched Suri's chin, bringing her face close to his cheek, her tone ambiguous:

"But I'm feeling a bit down right now. Could my queen keep me company for a little while?"

As she spoke, Talulah leaned closer: "Even if it's just to stay here a few more days and show me the scenery?"

But Talulah seemed to be in a really bad mood at the moment, so she was about to reach out and force Suri to stay there.

Suddenly, "Suri" reached out and slapped Talulah's hand away, looking at her irritably: "Suri already said it's not possible now, don't you understand?"

"Are you Suri's host?"

Talulah immediately realized that the person in front of her had changed, and she stepped back with some disgust. If it weren't for the approachable aura of Suri, she wouldn't have thought of getting close to the person in front of her.

"You can call me Imagination Angel."

Exusiai stood up from her desk, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Talulah: "I swapped bodies with Suri so that you could meet, not so that you could bully him."

“He and I were lovers to begin with, and now you seem a bit superfluous.”

Talulah watched as Exusiai stared back at her defiantly. Exusiai, unfazed, stared directly into Talulah's grey-gold eyes.

"I said, you two, stop arguing."

Su Rui's voice came from the phone: "How about we go for a walk in the garden?"

Volume 3, Chapter 175: Talulah: You're going a bit too far.

“I don’t want to go to the garden with this guy who’s trying to tie people up right away.”

Exusiai crossed her arms and glared at Talulah with annoyance.

Talulah scoffed, "I'm not interested in you either. I just like Suri."

Neither of them was willing to give in, so they stared straight at each other, letting out disdainful snorts, until Su Rui's helpless voice rang out:

"Okay, don't be angry anymore, okay? Can I borrow Exusiai's body and go for a walk in the garden with you, please?"

Meanwhile, in a conversation only Exusiai could hear, Suri used a pleading tone: "I'll find a way to make it up to you later, okay? Exusiai, please help me with this~"

Exusiai was secretly pleased, glanced smugly at Talulah in front of her, and nodded: "Since Suri has made such a request, I won't hold it against you."

After saying that, Exusiai agreed to Suri's exchange and returned to the consciousness space.

At the same time, seeing that the materialization process had reached fifty percent, Exusiai couldn't help but smile happily.

Getting both compensation from Su Rui and progress on Su Rui's physical transformation—there's no better deal than this!

Exusiai simply closed the window for observing the outside world, then opened the game to pass the time.

It would certainly make Exusiai uncomfortable to watch Suri be intimate with other women. It would be better for her not to watch at all and just focus on playing games.

With this in mind, Exusiai hummed a little tune and began her game.

Meanwhile, Suri, who had regained control of Exusiai's body, looked at Talulah and said, "Speaking of which, why don't you take a look at the letters your family wrote to you first?"

"Those things aren't urgent. By the way, I'd like to write back to them after I finish reading the letters. Could you please ask Penguin Logistics to help with the delivery? I'll offer a generous reward."

“Of course, no problem.” Suri nodded.

“Then let’s go for a stroll in the garden outside.” Talulah smiled.

Since Suri has already agreed to her request, it means that he must wait until Talulah finishes replying before he can leave.

Therefore, during this time, Talulah can spend time with Suri without worrying that Suri will run away halfway.

Feeling pleased with her successful plan, Talulah waved to Suri and headed towards the garden:

"You probably don't want to be seen by others, right? I've already sent the servants here to another place."

"Still using magic? You didn't use control magic on everyone in the palace, did you?"

Suri looked at Talulah with a puzzled expression, feeling that Talulah's controlling nature had become a bit too strong.

But Talulah met Suri's gaze calmly, without the slightest awkwardness:

"Yes, after all, I have too many enemies. Although all my opponents on the surface are gone, there are definitely still some who are planning to take action against me."

"Makes sense."

Suri nodded. Those nobles who showed no signs of resistance were not necessarily entirely trustworthy. Some might have had ulterior motives but left no evidence, just waiting to get close to Talulah and then betray her.

Thinking about it this way, Su Rui felt that Talulah's actions were quite reasonable; in fact, he even felt that Talulah was not cautious enough.

“I think we could replace all the servants with machines. I mean, I have a way to create mechanical bodies that look no different from humans. What do you think?”

Suri looked at Talulah, only to see her lips twitch.

"Isn't that a bit too extreme?" Talulah said with a somewhat helpless expression. After all, people need to communicate with others, don't they?

"No, my robot can think, and it is no different from a normal person... In terms of appearance and thinking ability, there is at least no difference."

Suri assumed Talulah was genuinely conflicted about the difference between robots and humans, so she continued her sales pitch: "And..."

But before he could finish speaking, Talulah reached out and pulled him into the depths of the garden:

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Just spend some time with me..."

With that, Talulah led Suri into a small pavilion deep within the garden.

This is a great place to rest; it's quiet and no one will bother you.

Talulah then took out some snacks and drinks from the cabinet next to her and placed them on the table, then looked at Suri:

“I remember you don’t like cold places, so I turned this garden into a greenhouse, but you like ice cream, so I put a refrigerator here so you can relax here.”

As she spoke, Talulah stepped aside to show the opened refrigerator: "What flavor do you want? Vodka ice cream?"

"No, I have to go back today. I'll have the non-alcoholic ice cream then."

After thinking for a moment, Suri declined Talulah's offer.

A dark glint flashed in Talulah's eyes, but she still smiled.

“Actually, it will take me a while to read and reply to those letters. By the time I finish writing, it will be very late. So, you can stay here overnight. There is no need to go back so early.”

As she spoke, Talulah stared intently at Suri, awaiting his reply: "You can send a message to the people who came with you, telling them they don't need to wait for you."

"Okay, but I really can't stay too long, three days at most."

If this goes on any longer, Honeysuckle and the others might not be able to resist barging in to check on things, right?

Talulah's eyes flashed with satisfaction. It seemed that she could keep Suri here for three days. Even if it was only three days, it would be enough to make her happy.

With this thought in mind, Talulah reached out and picked up a glass of ice cream with added alcohol, placing it in front of Suri:
