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

As the Originium energy surged, Su Rui saw flowers gradually spreading outwards from Theresa's feet, and the barren, gravelly land slowly transformed into a garden.

Theresa was pleased with her work, smiling as she twirled around and turned to Su Rui: "Do you like it? Our future should be as beautiful as these flowers... What's wrong?"

Theresa noticed that Su Rui's gaze was a little strange; her jewel-like red eyes were staring straight at her without saying a word. Even Theresa couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"You should be glad I don't add three spoonfuls of sugar to my tofu pudding." Su Rui paused for a moment, rubbed her eyes, and said something completely nonsensical.

"Why?" Theresa didn't quite understand what Su Rui meant.

"Otherwise, you'll have a way to die."

"I don't understand, Su Rui. Could you explain it more clearly?"

Theresa didn't understand, so she stepped forward, grabbed Su Rui's wrist, and looked sincerely at Su Rui's expression.

Su Rui looked into Theresa's eyes and slowly said, "You just reversed the Originium. In your eyes, it may indeed be a great discovery, a key to the future, but if you continue, I will have to kill you."

"... I see. I thought this would convince you."

Theresa paused for a moment, her tone turning regretful, but seeing that Su Rui hadn't made a move yet, she realized there was still room for maneuver.

So she took a small step forward and grabbed Su Rui's shoulder. "So, what do I need, Su Rui, for you to help me?"

"It's very simple. You and I make a deal: I'll ensure you never use this power again, and in exchange, I'll show you absolute trust."

Theresa nodded, a faint smile playing on her lips, then looked at Su Rui:

"I agreed, so what do we do now?"

"This field of flowers is perfect as a place to rest."

Su Rui glanced at the white sea of flowers after Theresa had reversed the Originium. He certainly appreciated the warm and peaceful scene, but there were always things that needed to be done, weren't there?

Although she verbally expressed her belief in Theresa and that the demi-humans were no different from humans, Su Rui was unwilling to back down when it came to the survival of her fellow humans.

At the very least, the Originium plan absolutely cannot go wrong.

Su Rui looked at Theresa: "Sit down. This sea of flowers is a perfect place to rest. I also have drinks and a telecom connection. After we finish making the changes, we can sit down and relax."

"Good."

Although Theresa was somewhat puzzled about what Su Rui wanted to do, she still bent her legs and sat down surrounded by flowers.

Su Rui didn't sit down immediately. Instead, she went to the opposite side of Theresa, leaned down, and cupped Theresa's cheeks in her hands.

As Su Rui and Theresa's eyes met, Su Rui reached out and cupped Theresa's cheeks, then lowered her head and pressed her forehead against Theresa's, who looked slightly nervous.

While this approach might seem somewhat intimate, even with Su Rui's electronic operations interconnected with the Originium Network, caution is still necessary. After all, the closer the signal source, the easier the operation and the weaker the signal attenuation.

"Don't be nervous, it will be over soon."

Su Rui's gentle and calm voice rang out, which relaxed Theresa, but also made her begin to notice some problems with herself.

Theresa's crown appeared above her head, followed by a feeling of tension, as if some information was flowing within her.

This strange feeling made Theresa uneasy, but seeing Su Rui close to her with her eyes closed, Theresa took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

The sensation of information flowing through the body is like cold water flowing through the body, gradually warming up, from stimulating cold water to warm water, and then continuing to warm up until it becomes a slightly uncomfortable warm water.

Theresa was somewhat worried that the lukewarm water would continue to turn into hot water, but for the sake of her agreement with Su Rui, she wouldn't give up this opportunity even if it meant gritting her teeth.

With this in mind, Theresa calmed herself down and shifted her attention to the flow of information constantly coursing through her body.

However, what Theresa didn't realize was that those information flows also posed some danger to her.

As an individual who originally possessed certain privileges, when Theresa focused her attention on the flowing information, Theresa's consciousness, which had been deliberately isolated by Su Rui, was also pulled into the space constructed by the Originium.

At this moment, Su Rui had completed the rewriting of permissions and was in a console, or some kind of control hall, facing a gentle and virtuous-looking woman with black hair and black eyes.

"Priestess, you never intended to harm her, right? I've already helped you eliminate a minor threat, so why are you now targeting her?"

In the hall filled with screens, Priestess stood on a high platform surrounded by control panels and waved to Su Rui:

"These things are negotiable... come over here~"

"So? What do you want to do?"

Although Su Rui had some questions, she was, after all, his mother, so he didn't think too much about it and went to Priestess's side. Priestess cupped his cheeks and turned to look behind him, where Su Rui spotted Theresa, who had just appeared.

"... My Scanning Vision isn't very useful here, but Theresa shouldn't have been here when I first appeared, right? Did you do this?"

Su Rui glanced at Priestess beside him with some confusion. In Priestess's presence, he was a little unaccustomed to calling him "Old Deng."

"She came in by herself. Alright, you should go back now."

Priestess glanced at Su Rui and gently pushed him toward Theresa.

Theresa instinctively reached out to catch Su Rui, but before she could, the two of them were thrown out of the universe inside the Originium by Priestess Su Rui.

The moment consciousness returned, the illusion caused a brief loss of balance in his body. Su Rui subconsciously reached out and grabbed whatever he could. Then he felt a pair of arms behind him wrap around his shoulders and push him to the ground.

But the expected ground didn't come down; instead, Su Rui felt herself fall into a warm, soft embrace.

The Scanning Vision was also activated at the same time, so even without opening her eyes, Su Rui could clearly see Theresa's expression.

Without looking up, Su Rui reached out and grabbed Theresa's shoulder, trying to break free from her embrace. As she pulled her cheek slightly away from Theresa's chest, she couldn't help but question her:

"What's so funny? Rounding up, I only ended up in this situation to save your life."

"You're right, but didn't we agree to take a good rest after the revisions are finished? Where does Su Rui want to go?"

"I just want to sit over there," Su Rui said, then urged Theresa, "Let me go."

"The people we saw there, Su Rui, do you know them?" Theresa asked with a smile.

Su Rui paused for a moment, ignored Theresa, and took out drinks and snacks from her System Space and put them aside:

"This is not something you need to worry about. Anyway, since you're going to rest, stop arguing with me and let me sit down."

You can sit on my lap.

Prince of Kazdel: 310 Theresa's Little Secret

"So, can you tell me exactly what you did, Su Rui?"

Theresa looked at the pile of snacks and drinks that Su Rui had laid out next to them and asked with some curiosity.

"It's actually very simple. I'm just disabling your advanced permissions to modify Originium. This feature was originally intended for emergency situations. In short, apart from not being able to reverse Originium into other substances, you're no different from before."

Su Rui opened a bottle of drink and looked at Theresa, whose hand was still on her waist:

"Aren't you going to eat something? Although the modification of the information flow uses mostly Originium, it also consumes some of your own energy."

As Su Rui spoke, she picked up a box of cookies, opened it, and some crumbs accidentally spilled out.

"... It's not my fault. That's how cookies are; no matter how careful you are, there will always be crumbs."

As Su Rui said this, she didn't turn around, but she still used her Scanning Vision to observe Theresa's expression.

However, Theresa did not show any anger or other emotions. She just glanced at what Su Rui had done and then used Originium Arts to clean up the cookie crumbs to the side.

However, during this process, although Theresa let go of one hand to pick up a cup of tea and slowly savor it, she had no intention of letting Su Rui go.

Her hands were still wrapped around Su Rui's waist, making it impossible for Su Rui to break free from her embrace.

"I've already told you what you wanted to know, so why won't you let me go?"

"Because there's one more thing." Theresa's lips curled into a pleased smile as she drew closer to her goal.

"I have kept my promise and accepted the adjustments you made to me, Su Rui. So Su Rui must also keep her promise and trust me completely."

"Of course, I absolutely trust you," Su Rui said matter-of-factly. In fact, he had trusted Theresa, whom he knew, from the very beginning.

With her Scanning Vision, Theresa's thoughts, though not readily apparent on paper, were almost entirely within Su Rui's expectations.

For an individual she knows completely, even if she wanted to harm herself, there was no way she could escape Su Rui's observation.

Therefore, Su Rui completely trusts the "Theresa" who is completely transparent to her, based on her own data.

Although this trust was actually different from the kind of trust Theresa hoped for, it was pretty much the same, and Theresa couldn't tell which kind of trust Su Rui was referring to anyway.

Su Rui never thought she would suffer a loss since it was a sure thing.

Therefore, he was quite confident when facing Theresa.

"So, are you trying to prove my trust in you with those things? Give me a challenge. I said I'd trust you, and I absolutely will."

Su Rui appeared very confident. No matter what riddle Theresa posed, he could instantly grasp the whole picture. And with his informational advantage, Su Rui could naturally provide the absolute answer to any question.

Theresa noticed the confidence Su Rui was displaying, but she didn't question Su Rui's special abilities. Instead, she smiled and placed her hand on Su Rui's shoulder, turning Su Rui around to face her.

"Do you want to play a staring contest with me?" Su Rui looked at Theresa, who was smiling, somewhat puzzled.

"I want to prove your trust in me." Theresa smiled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Next, I absolutely won't kiss you, so Su Rui doesn't need to dodge, okay?"

No, buddy, in this situation, regardless of whether the person on the other end is male or female, human or ghost, I think I need to be on guard, right?

It wasn't that Su Rui didn't trust Theresa; it was because after this period of simulation, he had become quite aware of his own charm.

At a time like this, Theresa's promises are as unbelievable as putting a wolf and a sheep in a cage and betting that the wolf won't eat the sheep.

In this situation, unless the wolf is full or exhausted, the sheep is definitely doomed.

As for Theresa, Su Rui was certain she wouldn't be incapable...

"Are you deliberately trying to stump me with this kind of riddle that's bound to have problems?" Su Rui looked at Theresa with considerable suspicion.

Theresa simply smiled and said, "You said you would absolutely trust me, were you lying to me all of that?"

"Of course I said it, and of course I will do it. Okay, come on over."

Su Rui took a deep breath and looked at Theresa: "You said you wouldn't do anything, right? Don't let me down."

Theresa smiled and nodded, then leaned closer to Su Rui's cheek.

At this moment, there was almost no space between the two of them, and Su Rui could feel Theresa's warm breath hitting her cheek.

They were too close, so close that even opening her eyes to look at the other person made her feel uncomfortable, Su Rui chose to close her eyes.

Although the field of view is lost, the Scanning Vision continues to function.

Theresa continued to approach, little by little, as if testing Su Rui's feelings, gradually drawing closer to Su Rui's lips.

She definitely wants to kiss me, right? Fine, let her kiss me then. I definitely can't lose.

With this in mind, Su Rui held her breath as much as possible, observing Theresa's movements through her Scanning Vision.

Now it was Su Rui who was nervous. While Theresa moved closer to Su Rui, she didn't kiss him, but instead affectionately nuzzled Su Rui cheek and pressed herself against Su Rui...

It's hard to say which was more intimate, but Theresa certainly kept her promise and didn't take the opportunity to kiss Su Rui. However, using this method to get closer felt a bit unusual.

In the Scanning Vision, Theresa's heartbeat was gradually accelerating, but she instead hugged Su Rui tighter. Su Rui even felt that he could feel Theresa's heartbeat. Of course, this was just an illusion brought to Su Rui by the Scanning Vision. After all, Theresa's subcutaneous fat near her heart was very thick, so it was not so easy to feel Theresa's heartbeat.

Let Theresa hug me, okay? They'll probably develop into friends eventually, right?

With this thought in mind, Su Rui relaxed and didn't pay attention to Theresa's little actions until he felt Theresa caressing his waist with her fingers as if she were mesmerized.

"This is your real purpose, isn't it, Theresa?"

Su Rui opened her eyes, her gaze towards Theresa carrying a hint of "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Theresa simply smiled at Su Rui's gaze and changed the subject:

"By the way, you should also get some rest. You're going on a mission soon, right?"

Prince Kazdel: 311 Su Rui: I'm a very good driver.

"I wonder why I had to come here instead of using the time I should have spent preparing?"

"But Su Rui, you also did some things you wanted to do, didn't you?"

Theresa slowly released Su Rui and stood up from the flower bushes with him, walking towards the interior of the Babel. They had agreed to meet at an office on Rhodes Island, and Su Rui couldn't be late.

Would you like to eat something before we leave?

"No, I've already eaten quite a lot," Su Rui said, declining Theresa's offer.

Once inside Rhodes Island, Su Rui and Theresa waited in the office for a while until the agreed time arrived.

Wis'adel and Outcast were both waiting in the office.
