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

"If it's not ulterior motives, then how about calling it malicious intent?" Su Rui noticed Theresa's reaction, and for a moment even put the game aside, turning to look at Theresa's pouting face because of his words.

"Otherwise what? Do you want to pounce on me here? Wouldn't that just confirm what I said?"

"I..." Theresa was speechless, choked by Su Rui's words, then snorted coldly and leaned back on the sofa in annoyance.

"You're busy right now, so I won't bother you."

As she spoke, Theresa closed her eyes, seemingly intending to rest for a while.

Soon, Lamalain returned to the Great Underground Library with her few Banshee, personally carrying dinner for Su Rui and Theresa.

Noticing how peacefully Su Rui and Theresa got along, Lamalain's eyes flickered, and she smiled as she approached Su Rui and Theresa, setting out their dinner.

"Let's take a break and have dinner first, okay?"

"Hmm." Su Rui nodded, put down her phone, and looked at Lamalain:

"By the way, the underground library needs twice as many bookshelves so I can put the translated and organized documents up there. I can't keep them in front of you every time, can I?"

Lamalain thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll arrange for someone to handle this as soon as possible... If the noise from the underground library is too loud, will it affect your work?"

"No, but it will affect my gaming. Put it away. You guys are so good at magic, wouldn't it be easy for you to use magic to keep quiet?"

Su Rui glanced at Lamalain with a puzzled look, only to see a smile playing on Ramallian's lips, as if she had thought of something.

"Such a spell does exist, but we usually only use it on the battlefield to suppress the opponent's sorcerers. I never thought it could be used in this kind of situation."

Lamalain nodded, then seemed to be using a communication spell again, but Su Rui was currently focused on collecting and analyzing data, and there was no extra computing power to spare for Scanning Vision.

After all, Su Rui wasn't particularly familiar with Lamalain, so he didn't pay attention, subconsciously

He leaned closer to Theresa, resting against Theresa as he continued playing with his phone.

"What's wrong?" Theresa didn't believe that Su Rui would be close to her for no reason, so she whispered in Su Rui's ear to ask.

"... I'm worried they might accidentally cause an explosion while researching the spells in the book. If anything goes wrong, I'll just push you out as a shield."

Su Rui leaned up against Theresa's chest, answered her question, and then went back to playing her game.

Although they were speaking softly, Theresa and Lamalain both knew that the other could hear them, and that the other knew that they could hear her.

So the two exchanged a smile, Theresa whispered reassuringly, "Don't worry, Lamalain and the Banshee are very prudent; they won't experiment with spells carelessly in the library."

Su Rui nodded, ignoring Theresa's comment. The young Banshee, however, exchanged awkward glances and quietly put away their staffs.

If casting a spell in the Great Archives causes problems, I'm afraid I'll be banned from entering the library for the rest of my life! That would be worse than death!

The young Banshee were terrified by what had not happened, but at least they kept quiet.

However, since chatting with Su Rui wouldn't interfere with Su Rui analytical work, Theresa felt relieved and continued to ask the questions she was curious about:

"Speaking of which, how long do you estimate it will take you to finish analyzing all these classic texts?"

"It should be ready in about an hour."

Su Rui continued playing his game without looking up, casually mentioning a time that surprised even Theresa, a complete novice. The Banshee beside him immediately stopped flipping through their books and stared wide-eyed in Su Rui's direction.

To avoid being discovered by the Banshee, Theresa lowered her head, her hair obscuring Su Rui's view.

"Could it be that, Su Rui, you're referring to all the books in this entire underground library?"

"Otherwise what? To be honest, I think this speed is a bit too slow."

Prince of Kazdel: 328 Upper System: That's because you didn't think for yourself.

At least Su Rui's computing power came from the Previous Civilization. According to Su Rui's own understanding, even if the underground library had more books than the entire Tower Library, it should only take him a few minutes to process them, given his computing power from the Previous Civilization.

But now it takes him almost six hours.

[If you focus your attention on the calculations yourself, it will indeed only take a few minutes. You are the most important component of the computing power; the calculations are currently only performed by auxiliary operation units.]

It seems the Upper System wasn't satisfied with Su Rui's rating, and actually jumped out to refute him.

Su Rui then took the opportunity to ask about things that interested her more:

"So, Priestess, what happened to that question you asked me before, about the destruction and survival of civilization? Give me an answer!"

The Upper System remained silent again, feigning inactivity. Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance and lowered her head to continue playing the game.

Su Rui's reaction was quite obvious to Theresa and Lamalain. Unlike Lamalain, who could only peek but couldn't ask directly, Theresa directly voiced her curiosity:

"What happened to Su Rui?"

"It's nothing. I just asked my mom another question, but she pretended to be dead and ignored me."

Su Rui was speaking casually, but Theresa suddenly stiffened, looking around uncertainly and asking Su Rui:

"Su Rui, do you mean your mother has been watching all along? But isn't your mother Doctor?"

"... It's not that I want to emphasize it, but I do have two mothers; I guess you could say I'm a product of genetic engineering."

As Su Rui spoke, she casually offered an explanation:

"In case you actually have some biology knowledge and want to question why two women with double XX chromosomes could give birth to me, a male with an XY chromosome, I can only say that genes can be modified, so why can't chromosomes? Don't underestimate the development of technology."

Theresa paused for a moment, then said, "I didn't mean to question you."

"I know, but don't worry about it. This old Deng has almost no ability to communicate with the outside world except with me, so you don't need to worry about her running up to you and questioning why you harbor ill intentions towards me."

"I just wanted to be a little closer to you because of my feelings for you, Su Rui."

As Theresa relaxed, she couldn't help but wrap her arms around Su Rui's waist with a hint of helplessness. "Don't talk about me like that, it hurts my feelings."

"... Okay, I understand."

Su Rui glanced up at Theresa, then continued playing her game, occasionally taking a bite of her dinner.

Theresa had already tried to dissuade her once, but Su Rui had developed a habit of playing games even while eating.

So, when Su Rui was busy playing games and didn't have time to eat, Theresa would help by picking up a snack and putting it in Su Rui's arms.

However, Su Rui didn't notice, but Theresa did. Both Lamalain and the young Banshee heard the conversation and were even chuckling.

Theresa glared at the Banshee, Banshee immediately sat up straight, pretending to be engrossed in their books and oblivious to their surroundings. But Lamalain wasn't afraid; instead, she gave Theresa a mocking smile.

Even in her current slightly flushed state, when faced with the teasing from her old friend Lamalain, Theresa chose to look away and focus on interacting intimately with Su Rui.

Soon, after finishing a game, Su Rui leaned against Theresa's chest, put down her phone, let out a long sigh, and then put the phone away.

"Not playing anymore?" Theresa asked curiously.

"Well, the work is done, there's no need to slack off at this time."

Su Rui nodded, attracting the attention of the Banshee, but instead of standing up to take out the translated texts she had prepared, she continued to lean against Theresa's chest and slowly eat her dinner.

At this moment, faced with such a vast treasure trove of knowledge, even Lamalain, the queen of the Banshee, couldn't help but feel excited and expectant.

Su Rui was eating slowly, seemingly enjoying her leisurely time after last night's work, and "theoretically" they shouldn't be able to hear Su Rui.

Lamalain winked at Theresa, wanting Theresa help.

But Theresa, who had just been teased by her friends, didn't care. She was quite happy to see Lamalain looking anxious, so Theresa suppressed a smile and hugged Su Rui from behind, nuzzling Su Rui's cheek.

However, what they didn't know was that after freeing up the computing power of the auxiliary operating system, Su Rui had already turned on the resident Scanning Vision again. Although he could also start the Scanning Vision when the auxiliary operating system was occupied, Su Rui didn't want to.

Now, Su Rui noticed Theresa and Lamalain's interaction. "... What are you two doing, winking at each other?"

Su Rui whispered in Theresa's ear, but Lamalain could hear her. She was startled, but pretended nothing had happened.

"They're just mocking my old friend."

Theresa smiled and explained, then feigned curiosity, though actually quite flustered, asked, "But Su Rui, you noticed that just now? You're very observant!"

"Because my Scanning Vision has restarted."

Su Rui said casually, noticing Theresa's puzzled pause, and then changed her approach to one that Suri could understand:

"Simply put, my attention was drawn back to the data analysis, so I could notice subtle changes in my surroundings, understand?"

Theresa nodded, while Lamalain and the young Banshee beside her continued to pretend to be engrossed in their books. After all, they had heard what Su Rui said, and they certainly couldn't give themselves away.

Therefore, the Banshee had no choice but to actually focus their attention on the books in their hands.

Although the knowledge I possess is valuable, it is not as attractive as the knowledge in Su Rui's entire Great Underground Library.

Therefore, the Banshee couldn't help but be somewhat distracted while reading.

Su Rui leisurely finished her dinner, wiped her mouth with a tissue in Theresa's arms, then paused for a moment before realizing what she was about to do and lazily and slowly stood up from Theresa's embrace.

At this moment, other Banshee were already in the Great Underground Library. Because Su Rui had requested that the Great Archives be expanded to twice its original size, the Banshee were quietly carrying out the expansion work under the effect of Silence Spell.

Prince of Kazdel: 329 The Banshee ' Reward

While Lamalain and the other young Banshee waited anxiously, the Banshee finally completed their expansion of the Great Underground Library.

Then, under their eager gazes, Su Rui waved.

All the books and artifacts that were originally on the shelves of the Great Archives suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared.

The only difference is that each of these ancient books has an additional version translated by Su Rui next to it, which is why twice the space is needed.

Lamalain and the Banshee stared in astonishment at the books that had disappeared and reappeared on the bookshelf. After randomly picking one up and flipping through it, they discovered that it was the same as the translated versions they had seen before.

"I didn't expect you to finish translating these classic texts so quickly."

Lamalain nodded to Su Rui, her tone now tinged with admiration.

"Of course, this type of thing is a piece of cake for me."

Su Rui recalled what the Upper System had said: if he focused his attention on it, it would only take a few minutes. A pleasant smile crept onto his lips.

However, a few minutes is a bit too shocking for Terra and the Banshee, so let's just forget about it.

Faced with Su Rui's childlike boasting and looking at the adorable young man before her, Lamalain smiled and nodded, glancing sideways at the young Banshee beside her:

"I think you have provided us with such a vast treasure trove of knowledge that the Banshee are willing to do anything for you, even... fight for you. If you really need it, we would be happy to do so as well."

Even Lamalain, when she heard Theresa make this suggestion, thought she was probably just joking, or that she could only complete part of the translation work.

Even so, it's still a very generous reward, enough to attract many young Banshee willing to fight for Su Rui or do other things for her.

But to Lamalain's surprise, Su Rui actually translated all the ancient books.

Such a vast treasure... "We will never forget this gift. On behalf of all the Banshee, I express our sincerest gratitude to you."

A respectful expression appeared on Lamalain's face beneath her veil as she bowed slightly to Su Rui, who stood beside Theresa, in a gesture of respect.

"Hmm, but don't forget, this is a transaction, or rather, a partnership. Don't try to get something for nothing."

As Su Rui nodded, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Theresa looked at Su Rui with some helplessness as he spoke such willful words in such a serious setting, but only gave Lamalain an apologetic look and did not stop Su Rui.

Lamalain didn't care either. Just by watching Su Rui and Theresa interact, she already had a general understanding of what kind of person Su Rui was: a willful but adorable child who wasn't annoying.

A pleased smile involuntarily crept onto Lamalain's lips.

"Of course, the Banshee won't do anything that others will do for free. From now on, the Valley of Tears and the Banshee stand with the Babel. We will provide you with manpower and magical assistance, and so will I."

"Huh?" Su Rui was taken aback, looking at Lamalain: "Didn't the Banshee not want to participate in the Sarkaz internal war? Besides, I thought you'd all be staying up all night in the library studying afterwards."

"Because you gave us a condition we couldn't refuse." Lamalain said, coming up to Su Rui. Noticing Theresa subtly protecting Su Rui from getting any closer, she stood there and explained:

"Although the Banshee enjoy knowledge and reading, not all of them are overly passionate about knowledge. Their long lifespans give them a more relaxed sense of time, allowing them to do what they want whenever their emotions stir."

Lamalain spoke in a very literary style, but Su Rui didn't bother with any of that fancy talk; he simply stated Lamalain's words in detail:

"So, some people just coast along with their long lifespans, right? They only go back to reading when they feel like it?"

Su Rui crossed her arms and looked at Lamalain with a teasing smile.

Instead of being angry, Lamalain nodded, then turned to look at the Banshee who had gathered after hearing that the translation of the Great Archives was already complete.

Many of the Banshee couldn't help but look away guiltily when Lamalain's gaze swept over them.

Finally, Lamalain turned her gaze to Su Rui: "So, in other words, we can send a significant number of Banshee to Babel to fight for you... Su Rui, you should remember those stories from the ancient texts, right?"

Before Lamalain could continue, Su Rui nodded knowingly.

"I see, I understand now. Many Banshee are too lazy to read books, but they find listening to stories tiring, right? Don't worry, I remember all the books; after all, I translated them word by word."

Moreover, wouldn't this be considered a form of intelligence gathering? Now, the Surreys know more about Terran civilization than the Terrans do.

Lamalain nodded. "I also like to listen to stories when I'm tired, but there aren't any Banshee in the Valley of Tears who like to tell stories. Everyone just likes to listen to stories."
