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

"Of course, no problem. But I think wearing a jacket and underwear, without any other clothes, counts as swimwear, right?"

Swimsuits are made of different fabrics than regular fabrics, so you should choose a swimsuit.

Myrtle rejected Su Rui's idea and, led by Pozëmka, headed towards a swimsuit shop next to the large pool.

Pozëmka noticed Myrtle's cheerful expression but didn't pay much attention. She just thought Myrtle had thought of something happy, and since Myrtle and her friends knew her and had given her a nice nickname, there was no doubt that she was from this city.

Besides, how could Durin possibly be a bad person?

In the swimsuit shop, Myrtle chose a lace-trimmed swimsuit and an umbrella to wear, all in a soft pink color, which made her look even cuter.

Pozëmka, who was standing next to her, asked after Myrtle changed into her swimsuit:

"What's next? Want to go sunbathing with me?"

"My friend will probably be here soon, so I'd like to pick out another swimsuit for him."

Myrtle shook her head; she was obviously referring to Su Rui. Myrtle glanced at the materialization progress again, only to find it had inexplicably reached 73%. What was going on? Didn't I just choose a swimsuit? How did it increase so quickly?

Myrtle looked puzzled, then smiled knowingly. So that's how it is. Su Rui is a normal boy after all.

With this in mind, Myrtle felt that she had found a way to accelerate the materialization process, and she had vaguely realized what the materialization progress actually represented.

Volume 8, Chapter 491: Sprint, Charge!

After a brief pause, Myrtle smiled at Pozëmka, "Thank you for your help, but I have things to do next. How about we play together after I'm done?"

A hint of regret flashed in Pozëmka's eyes, but she didn't insist. She simply smiled and waved to Myrtle, saying, "Then I won't bother you any longer. See you later."

"Okay, goodbye Pozëmka ~"

Myrtle waved to Pozëmka and walked into the streets of Durin City. Su Rui asked with some confusion:

'What do you need to do? I didn't know that.'

"Aren't we supposed to save this city?" Myrtle put the swimsuit she had prepared for Su Rui into Su Rui's System Space. "Now, what we need to do is find those who can accomplish what we plan."

Myrtle asked Su Rui with some doubt, "So, after the plan is finalized, there will still be some time before we start implementing it. We can use that time to play, right?"

"... That makes sense. I know someone, but you need to be a bit secretive first. We'll quietly provide him with some technology and inspiration, so we don't need to show our faces or arouse suspicion, and we can achieve our goals."

"Okay, so what do you plan to do?" Myrtle nodded, and then saw the scanned map that Su Rui had provided:

'In one of the buildings in this underground city, there's a Durin with exceptional design skills. In short, he's one of the candidates for the Dome Restoration Plan and can help us with it.'

Myrtle nodded. "So Su Rui, what kind of things do you plan to provide to get him to create the same design as ours?"

'It's simple. We'll secretly visit both designers, leave notes on behalf of their competitors, and leave some of their designs behind. That way, they'll be so angry that they'll definitely follow our plan.'

'Great, discovered without anyone noticing, just like a sage in an adventure story.'

Myrtle's eyes lit up as she glanced at the information Su Rui was displaying in her field of vision, and she couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

'However, there are a lot of people playing games near the office building on the map. Can we really sneak in?'

"Don't worry, I'm here. Aren't there people over there supplying parts to assemble race cars? We can use that to sneak in. Look, the track for those little cars goes past the design building we need to get into; the offices of the two designers are inside."

As Su Rui spoke, she marked the route in Myrtle's field of vision. "We'll just ride in the little car and rush in, pretending we accidentally wandered in while playing a game. The Durin tribe is so carefree, they probably won't care."

The Durin tribe is indeed very easygoing. After all, Myrtle's action of jumping directly from the dome onto the water slide had already attracted a lot of attention. Not only did no one think it was dangerous, but quite a few people wanted to try it themselves. However, almost everyone was stopped by the security guards on duty when they went to find the path.

Myrtle nodded. "But the carriage isn't for us to sit in, is it?"

"I'll modify it for you. Just a few minor adjustments to the details and it'll be fine. It'll be safe to use while still being playable."

Su Rui urged, "Alright, let's get started. There's a stall over there where we can assemble a simple little car."

Myrtle nodded, went to the stall that provided parts as indicated by Su Rui, chose a small car, and then traded some parts with the stall owner using the snacks Su Rui had provided.

'Speaking of which, in some ways, Durin and Sankta are quite similar. Skadi likes desserts and can be bribed with chocolate, Durin likes snacks and can be sold snacks. But I think they seem to prefer alcohol?'

"Everyone really enjoys drinking. Look at those people, even when they're playing on the beach, they won't put their glasses down."

Myrtle nodded in agreement, then took the toy car she had assembled according to Su Rui's instructions to the track.

There were indeed some people around who were paying attention to Myrtle, not because they doubted her identity, but because Myrtle's action of falling from the dome onto the slide was so amazing that some people were attracted by Myrtle "brilliant idea" and wanted to see what other interesting things she would do.

Myrtle and Su Rui did not disappoint the Durin people. When they saw Myrtle get into the modified car and, with the boost from the engine, speed off the track, the surrounding Durin couldn't help but cheer.

"Wow!" Myrtle couldn't help but exclaim, then asked with some confusion, "We didn't install any speed-enhancing chips, so why is this car still going so fast?"

"Of course it's because of me! Actually, I can handle any aspect of programming electronic devices, leaving more room for other things."

As Su Rui spoke, she reminded Myrtle, "Hurry up, I'm going to pretend there's a slight malfunction in this car's system, then you drive straight into the building through the window."

'Okay, I'm ready~'

Myrtle finally understood why Su Rui had installed rams and shields at the front of the car: 'I thought you were going to make me drive the car in from below.'

"Why go through all that trouble? Look over there." Su Rui marked a location in Myrtle's field of vision Myrtle looked over with some confusion, and then noticed that quite a few Durin around her had noticed her action and sat in the cart just like her.

'That's the power of influence; once one influential person does it, others will be curious and imitate them.'

"But I haven't done anything!" Myrtle, puzzled. "Although the children on the three streets of the main avenue in my hometown all listen to me, I haven't done anything here yet."

'Have you forgotten about descending through the hole in the dome in the first place? That's the reason. By the way, I'll also make some modifications to their vehicles to ensure they don't get hurt during the process, so you can set off without worry.'

"Alright." Myrtle nodded, turned and waved to her "followers," eliciting a cheer.

Then, the car was started and started moving outwards from the track. Thanks to Su Rui's modifications, Myrtle's car far surpassed the others behind her.

Volume 8, Chapter 492: Upper System: Plans have changed; you need to materialize first.

Myrtle, riding in her little car, led a group of Durin, also riding in little cars, as they raced recklessly on the track, attracting a lot of attention.

As she rode the car closer to the design buildings, Myrtle couldn't help but feel a little nervous, gripping the car tightly.

'Get ready, we're about to begin.'

As the notification sound rang in Su Rui's mind, Myrtle "pretended" to let out a gasp, and then, under Su Rui's control, the car lost control and sped toward the other side of the track, toward a ramp that had been placed there for some unknown reason.

The diving platform faces directly out of the window of one of the design buildings.

Myrtle, riding in her little car, crashed through the glass with a scream and into the design building.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the building inside the window, so it didn't cause any chaos.

Behind Myrtle, the group of Durin who followed Myrtle, though somewhat confused, excitedly followed in Myrtle footsteps, rushing towards the platform leading to the design building.

So, following Myrtle, a the Swarm of Durin rushed into the design building in cars. This would cause chaos to spread, and no matter which direction they went, at least it would divert the attention of those around them.

At this moment, Myrtle and Su Rui had already put away the cart and were heading towards their destination.

As she ran up the stairs leading to the upper floors, Myrtle could hear the cheers of the Durin rushing in below in their cars, along with the noisy crashing of the vehicles.

"Are you sure you don't want to put your flag away? I feel like it's hindering our operations," Su Rui suggested to Myrtle. But Myrtle shook her head. "As the Great General, I need this flag to prove my identity. As long as I'm here, the flag is here!"

With that, Myrtle, carrying the flag, rushed up to the upper floors of the design building.

Clearly, the others on the floor had also noticed the commotion below and were whispering among themselves. Some of the more informed people already knew that someone had driven in a car, so while they were discussing it, no one paid any attention to Myrtle's wandering around. They simply assumed she was a clumsy girl who had forgotten something and rushed back in a hurry.

So Myrtle easily barged into the two designers' studio and placed the letter and some clues that Su Rui had prepared on their table.

'Mission accomplished, we can slip away now. How about that? Wasn't General Peach amazing?'

Myrtle glanced smugly at the fact that the materialization process had reached 90% completion, and put her hands on her hips in satisfaction.

It seems Su Rui really enjoys exciting things; doing it this way will speed up the physicalization process.

But how can we improve the progress of the remaining physicalization phase?

Myrtle was somewhat troubled. She had thought that leading a group of Durin into the design building would be exciting enough, but now it seemed that it wasn't quite enough.

Myrtle looked left and right, and suddenly her eyes lit up when she saw a huge canvas.

Su Rui reminded her, "We should go, otherwise you might get arrested if those Durin realize what's happening."

'Okay, I understand. Oh, by the way, could you please put the flag away for me first?'

"Didn't you just say that the flag is a symbol of a general's status?"

Su Rui chuckled and asked in return, but still followed Myrtle's instructions and put the flag into the System Space.

Myrtle's lips curled into a slight smile, a mysterious glint in her eyes. "You'll find out soon enough, Su Rui."

With that, Myrtle picked up the huge canvas, grabbed one corner with each hand, and walked outside:

Please give me directions on how to get to the rooftop of the design building.

'Hmm~ I know what you want to do.'

Su Rui's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of amusement as she marked the route in Myrtle's field of vision, leading her all the way to the rooftop of the design building.

Myrtle glanced at the large pool not far away, slowly backed away from the rooftop, then took a running start and leaped forward.

Although the huge canvas didn't provide much buoyancy, it was enough to safely land Myrtle on the water from a height.

Thus, many of the Durin had noticed the chaotic design of the building also noticed a figure holding a canvas leaping off the roof and then, propelled by the wind, landing towards the large pool.

Myrtle was actually a little nervous, but when she saw the materialization progress in the corner of her vision gradually reaching its maximum value due to these actions, Myrtle couldn't help but feel a little excited.

If she weren't still descending from a great height, Myrtle would have loved to materialize Su Rui right now.

As Myrtle descended from the heights towards the large pond, Pozëmka, who was sunbathing below, also noticed Myrtle's actions.

After all, Myrtle's previous reckless behavior had attracted a large number of Durin's followers, making it difficult to ignore her.

When Pozëmka saw Myrtle drive her car and crash into the design building from a high place, she couldn't help but find it a little funny. She thought Tao Jinniang was going to do something important, but it turned out she was going to cause trouble. No wonder she didn't want her to come along.

However, Pozëmka was not unhappy about it; on the contrary, she found Durin's clumsy behavior quite endearing.

At that moment, Pozëmka, who had been keeping an eye on the design building around her, saw Myrtle doing something dangerous again, and this time, she couldn't help but get angry.

This is more dangerous than driving a car; what if you lose your grip on the sheet and it falls down halfway through the journey?

Pozëmka frowned, looked in the direction where Myrtle had fallen, got up from the deck chair, and followed her.

Myrtle, after landing, couldn't wait to roll up the canvas from the water and walk towards a corner on the shore.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Su Rui wondered. Surely Myrtle had nothing else to do this time?

'Of course, I'll find a quiet corner to materialize you!' Myrtle's tone was delighted, but Su Rui couldn't understand.

After a moment of silence, Su Rui decided to ask the Upper System privately, "Old Deng, what's going on? I don't think I have that much affection for Myrtle. We're just friends who mess around together, right?"

Feelings can be cultivated gradually; cultivating them after they become tangible is still cultivation.

"So you broke the rules you set for yourself, didn't you?"

[Yes, but I set the rules myself, and I can change them.]

"...You win." Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Volume 8, Chapter 493: Are you following us?!

While Su Rui was arguing with that old man from the Upper System, Myrtle also came to a relatively quiet corner.

After all, this water slide was built temporarily, and the street and shop layout that the Durin had arbitrarily planned didn't seem very regular.

Therefore, finding a quiet corner is quite easy.

With her fair feet stepping on the smooth, clean floor, Myrtle arrived at the back of the shopping street. There wasn't much to do there, and naturally, there weren't many people around.

Myrtle looked left and right, wary of anyone who might appear.

Pozëmka, who was following Myrtle at a distance, twitched her ears and, somewhat amused, ducked behind the wall before Myrtle could look over.

What on earth is this little thief up to? Why is she looking around so warily? But Durin is just a child; she's probably thinking of some harmless prank, right?

Meanwhile, Myrtle didn't notice Pozëmka hiding, and Su Rui was still fighting with the old man, the Upper System:

"You can't just change the rules like that, what am I supposed to do? I've been following these rules to decide how to act. If you change them arbitrarily, then my actions will become unplanned and unpredictable."

I will try my best to notify you in advance.

"You told me ahead of time? You only told me you changed the rules now that things were really urgent!"

Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance, wanting to curse the Upper System, but suddenly felt a moment of dizziness, so Su Rui shut her mouth.

Then, in the corner chosen by Myrtle, Su Rui, in the body of Durin, was born in a burst of light. He looked like a beautiful young man with white hair and red eyes. Of course, due to the height of the Durin, he was more like a cute little boy than a beautiful young man.

Myrtle stared wide-eyed at Su Rui at the scene before her, her mouth agape enough to fit an orange.
