Ark Simulator, Didn't I Have No Physical Form?

"Exactly, exactly. It took me a long time too, but I don't have that much patience, so I just used the editor you wrote for me."

Ifrit was a little embarrassed about using cheating, but Su Rui seemed indifferent, reaching out to pinch Ifrit's cheek:

"What's the big deal? We're playing a single-player game. Once we have the game, we can play it however we want. It won't ruin anyone else's gaming experience."

"That makes sense! By the way, a new game console recently came out, and the games on it seem pretty good. Shall we go try it out together?"

As Ifrit chatted, her eyes lit up, and she set her sights on Su Rui.

But Su Rui shook her head. "I can let you play the game in advance, but you should keep the game console safe, you worked hard to buy it yourself, and besides, I don't have any money to buy you anything."

Su Rui shrugged, but Ifrit had already gotten what she wanted. "Okay, it's a deal!"

Volume 4, Chapter 226: Like a Family of Three

By the end of dinner, Su Rui and Ifrit had finished all the food on their plates.

However, it was clear to both Saria and Silence that their minds were not on eating at all.

It's true, once they start talking about certain things, they forget everything else. Saria and Silence exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

With a look that Silence to keep an eye on Su Rui and Ifrit, Saria tidied up the plates and placed them in their storage compartment. Then she returned to Su Rui's side and gently patted Su Rui's shoulder.

"Alright, Su Rui, we should go back now."

"Wait a minute, just a little while, I want to talk to Ifrit a bit more." Su Rui was completely absorbed in the game and just wanted to continue discussing it with Ifrit so they could play together sometime.

Saria paused for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Su Rui and Ifrit by the collar, lifting them up and hoisting them onto her shoulders.

She turned to look at Silence and said, "In that case, let me take care of them today. Don't worry, Su Rui and I... won't continue tonight, so Ifrit can get a good night's sleep."

"Okay, remember to make sure Ifrit goes to bed early and doesn't play games for too long."

Silence still trusted Su Rui and Saria. Saria's trust was built up over a long period of time, and as for Su Rui, Ifrit's grades didn't decline during their time in Mansfield; in fact, they even improved. This was Silence's reason for trusting Su Rui.

However, after seeing how Ifrit and Su Rui interacted, Silence suddenly had some doubts. Although Su Rui was definitely an adult, his behavior didn't seem much like Ifrit's Ifrit... and even seemed more... cough cough.

Silence pulled herself together, nodded as she watched Saria carry Su Rui and Ifrit away, and then got up and left the restaurant herself.

After carrying Su Rui and Ifrit away and returning to her dormitory, Saria gently put Su Rui and Ifrit down and stood in front of them:

"Remember not to play games too late."

Then, he took a yawn and decided to go for a short nap.

After all, her energy would eventually be depleted. After spending the whole day being intimate with Su Rui, Su Rui was still able to keep her spirits up thanks to her love for the game, but Saria couldn't. She needed to rest and get a good night's sleep.

So, Saria gently lay down on the soft bed, leaving the living room to Su Rui and Ifrit, while she stayed in the bedroom.

Su Rui and Ifrit exchanged a glance, a glint of determination flashing in each other's eyes. Su Rui then gently patted Ifrit's shoulder and whispered a word of advice:

"Alright, I'll go check on Saria. Ifrit, you can rest here."

Ifrit nodded obediently, then watched as Su Rui got up and tiptoed toward Saria's door, gently opening it.

Su Rui entered Saria's bedroom, gently cupped her cheeks in her hands, and was startled when Saria suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"You've kept your Scanning Vision on the whole time, and I'm not going to fall asleep that quickly. What are you trying to do?"

Saria looked at Su Rui was clearly about to do something bad, with a hint of helplessness.

"I just wanted to help you sleep better," Su Rui said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Want to play the game a little longer?"

"... Is this alright?"

"Don't play for too long, Ifrit has class tomorrow."

Although Saria said that, she released Su Rui's wrist and let him do as he pleased.

Su Rui reached out and cupped Saria's cheeks, whispering:

"Since that's the case, just get a good night's sleep. Don't think about anything, just relax and fall asleep."

As Su Rui spoke, and feeling the relaxing and intimate aura emanating from Su Rui, Saria felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.

This could be considered one of Su Rui's abilities; with just a little trickery, she could get someone to sleep soundly.

That way, Saria won't bother him and Ifrit while they're playing games... Go to bed on time? What's that? Su Rui didn't agree to anything.

With a cheerful mood, Su Rui slowly released Saria's cheek, humming a little tune, swaying her spiked Vouivre tail, and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her. She winked at Ifrit:

"It's all set. Saria's asleep, so she won't bother us while we play games."

"Okay, okay, come over here quickly, we need to start the game right away."

Although Suri said that Saria was already asleep, Ifrit, feeling guilty, subconsciously lowered her voice and patted the spot next to her, urging Su Rui to sit down quickly.

"Here we go, Arknights, activate!"

As Su Rui spoke, she turned on a game she had previously agreed upon with Ifrit on the TV screen. However, this game wasn't the so-called Arknights. Ifrit looked at Su Rui with some confusion:

"What kind of game is it if there's no Arknights?"

"It's nothing, I just said it offhand. Okay, let's get started."

Su Rui picked up the game controller and started the game.

The two of them stayed up from dusk until dawn, until Ifrit was so sleepy that she was yawning and her eyelids were almost too heavy to keep open, before Su Rui stopped playing the game and turned off the TV screen.

Then, Su Rui picked up Ifrit and carried her to the bedroom, gently placing the little girl in the middle. She and Saria shielded Ifrit, and Su Rui closed her eyes as well.

However, before going to sleep, Su Rui didn't forget to adjust Ifrit's sleep state so that her brain could get a good rest.

This way, I can sleep less, stay awake more, and have more time to play games.

Of course... it's best not to popularize this technology for now. Who knows what the person who gets their hands on it might do?

With this in mind, Su Rui also fell into hibernation...

The next morning, when Saria opened her eyes, she expected to find Su Rui and Ifrit fast asleep on the sofa in the living room or on the floor in front of it.

But to his surprise, when he opened his eyes, he saw Su Rui and Ifrit being held in Su Rui's arms.

"..." A slight smile involuntarily appeared on Saria's lips.

Su Rui and Ifrit, in this state, looked like a family of three, which brightened Saria's mood considerably. Not wanting to disturb Su Rui and Ifrit's sleep, Saria tiptoed out of bed, only to notice that Ifrit was already awake.

Volume 4, Chapter 227: Forced to Operate

Even if they didn't stay up too late last night, Ifrit and Su Rui must have been sleep-deprived.

With this thought in mind, Saria gently patted Ifrit's head and whispered to her:

"Ifrit can sleep a little longer, I'll go talk to Silence."

Besides, Su Rui is holding Ifrit. What if Ifrit moves too much and wakes Su Rui up?

Ifrit opened her eyes in confusion, glanced at Saria, and was surprised to find herself in Su Rui's arms.

Ifrit instinctively looked up at Saria with a surprised expression, as if she wanted to show off.

But she was immediately covered by Saria's mouth, who whispered a reminder:

"Alright, don't disturb Su Rui's rest. If you want to get up, be quiet."

"Mmm." Ifrit quickly covered her mouth, and with Saria's help, gently left Su Rui's embrace, then walked towards the door led by Saria.

"Aren't we called Xing Su Rui?" Ifrit, somewhat puzzled.

"No need, I'll go get him breakfast. What about you? Do you want to eat breakfast first or go find Silence?"

"Of course we'll go have breakfast first. Silence will also have breakfast at the restaurant."

Ifrit and then followed Saria.

Su Rui didn't use the technique that only required a few hours of sleep to wake up. First, such a technique was harmless to the body, and second... that was for people who didn't have enough time. Su Rui preferred to sleep a little longer, even if it didn't do her any good.

After Saria and the others left, a person wearing a black hood came to the door of Saria's dormitory, swiped his ID card to open the door, went directly to the bedroom, and saw Su Rui fast asleep.

The hooded figure was undoubtedly the Doctor. She gently sat down beside Su Rui, removed her gloves, and softly stroked Su Rui's cheek.

The Doctor didn't really have anything to say; he just didn't want to wake Su Rui, so he stayed with him for a while.

But when her fingers touched Su Rui's cheek, Su Rui opened her eyes, her scarlet eyes staring straight at the Doctor.

"... Awake?" the Doctor asked slowly, pinching Su Rui's cheek again.

Su Rui didn't shake off the Doctor's hand, but slowly sat up and looked at her. "To be honest, I find it a little strange. I originally thought I was the kind of person..."

"Someone without parents?" the Doctor suddenly interrupted Su Rui.

"I have two mothers now." Su Rui rolled her eyes and looked at the Doctor with annoyance. "How can you talk like that? You're insulting yourself."

"I know, I find it a little strange too, but you are my son, aren't you?"

As the Doctor spoke, he sat closer to Su Rui, patted his thigh, and gestured for Su Rui to rest her head on his thigh.

"... Aren't you worried that the horn on my head will prick you?"

As Su Rui spoke, she found a comfortable position and lay down on the Doctor's lap.

"Hmm, but you won't." The Doctor said, gently stroking Su Rui's cheek and hair:

"Now, let's talk about the things you deliberately promised Mayer to cause me trouble, shall we?"

The Doctor's voice was very soft, as if he were whispering, but these words still made Su Rui stiffly turn her head and look at her with an awkward gaze:

"Um, it was just a little prank. I'm sorry, okay? How can you forgive me? I thought you wouldn't care about this."

Su Rui's pleas for mercy seemed to have an effect. The Doctor chuckled softly, reached out and stroked Su Rui's cheek, then said:

"Of course I don't mind, resolving this is easy for me, but your prank can't just be left like this."

"... So what do you want? How do you want me to make it up to you?"

Seeing that she couldn't get away with this, Su Rui pouted in annoyance, her expression instantly changing. She dropped her coquettish demeanor, got up from the Doctor's lap, and looked at her warily.

"Don't worry, it won't be a severe punishment." The Doctor smiled, looked at Su Rui, leaned closer, and whispered, "As a small punishment for a naughty child, I've decided to give you a good spanking."

"I'm not going to surrender easily, don't force me to take action."

Su Rui slowly retreated, wary of the Doctor, or rather, those around the Doctor. After all, the Doctor herself wasn't a great threat, but the operators she might bring were another story.

Su Rui turned her head and, sure enough, found the person hiding. Under the control of the Scanning Vision, there was no way for them to hide.

Su Rui quietly got up, opened the bedroom door, and saw Kal'tsit hiding behind it.

"Kal'tsit? You're not going to join the Doctor in bullying me, are you? I'm willing to apologize, but can you please stop the Doctor from acting like this?"

Su Rui quickly hid behind Kal'tsit, placing her hands on Kal'tsit's shoulders for help, while keeping a wary eye on the Doctor.

But Kal'tsit turned to Su Rui and gave her an apologetic look. "Sorry, Su Rui."

"Kal'tsit, you..."

Before Su Rui could say anything, Kal'tsit grabbed her and hoisted her onto her shoulder.

"Hey, Kal'tsit, why are you helping the Doctor? Have you really betrayed him?"

As Su Rui struggled, she uttered incoherent words, as if she had been utterly betrayed.

As Kal'tsit carried Su Rui, she whispered to him, "Take it easy. It's just one day of being the Doctor's assistant. I got this for you."

"... So, what did the Doctor originally intend to do?" Su Rui asked Kal'tsit in a low voice.

I want to spank you.

"She actually considered it, but she couldn't beat me."

Su Rui muttered to himself, even if he didn't actually do anything, as long as he expressed his reluctance, given Vouivre's physical abilities, the Doctor wouldn't be able to do anything to him, right?

Kal'tsit just smiled mysteriously, "Doctor, you're not as simple as you think."

"Hmm, I, as the son, have no idea what my mom's abilities are. This is really interesting."

Su Rui shrugged and looked at the Doctor following behind her. "It's just asking me to be an assistant for a day, it's not like the world is ending."

The Doctor didn't say anything, but simply reached out and pinched Su Rui's cheek, causing Su Rui to hiss slightly in dissatisfaction.

"Haven't had breakfast yet? It's ready in the Doctor's office."
