Ark Simulator, Aren't I Supposed to Have No Physical Form?

"Because the Doctor at Rhodes Island is my mom, I can just go and beg her properly. Besides, as a talented person, Mom definitely won't let Mayer go. As for how to fulfill the promise, it's not my responsibility to do it. Let Mom worry about it herself~"

That's what Su Rui said.

Volume 4, Chapter 201: She can't come over and hit me.

Saria couldn't help but find Su Rui's statement somewhat amusing. "Won't your mother, the Doctor from Rhodes Island, be angry about this?"

"Maybe, but she can't spank me, so I'll just let her be angry."

Su Rui wasn't worried about this. First of all, the Doctor would definitely want more operators under his command, and Mayer's abilities were more than sufficient, so there was no need to worry about the Doctor not needing her.

Secondly, he doesn't have a physical form right now. Even if he did, he would spend most of his time with Saria. Su Rui felt that the Doctor wouldn't have the time or opportunity to meet him.

So even if she really wanted to spank me, she couldn't.

The previous encounter in Chernobog was just one of three simulations. Given the nature of the Upper System, subsequent simulations will definitely be distributed throughout Terra. In other words, the current one-third chance of encountering the Doctor may become even lower in the future.

That way, there's even less reason to worry about running into the Doctor later.

Su Rui's idea was easy to understand, but Saria noticed its flaw. Glancing at the System Materialization Progress in the corner of her vision, Saria thought that once the Mansfield State Prison matter was resolved and they arrived at Rhodes Island, Su Rui should be able to materialize.

Judging from Su Rui's personality, the Doctor who raised him should have a similar personality... But since he can manage Rhodes Island well, he should be a very reliable person.

I doubt the Doctor will hold a grudge against Su Rui over this.

Despite driving through the night, Saria had already covered half the distance by the next morning, partly due to Su Rui finding the best route.

At this moment, the morning sunlight shone in through the car window. Although it was swaying, Ifrit had indeed had a good sleep, stretched, and yawned.

Then, Ifrit saw Saria still driving forward and looked at Saria with some concern:

"Saria, aren't you going to sleep?"

"No need, I can stay up for three days straight." Saria said while driving, showing no signs of fatigue. She had indeed done so before, thanks to Vouivre and the strong physique she had developed through her own training, she had stayed up for many days in a row while conducting research.

Su Rui also found this information and marveled at it. "He managed to do research for three days straight without sleeping, relying solely on coffee and sandwiches. I must say, Vouivre's physique is truly remarkable."

"This is normal for Vouivre."

Saria wasn't proud of this; she simply nodded calmly.

Then she heard Su Rui's demand. "Since that's the case, you'd better stop the car now, or I'll just park it and not let you move for three days."

"Why? Staying up late doesn't do much harm to my health."

Saria was taken aback, not understanding why Su Rui being so forceful at this moment.

"Because my plan was to rest here for a while. You should have rested last night, but you brushed me off. Besides, you need to eat, don't you? Ifrit and I are getting something ready. You can take this opportunity to rest. Oh, and give the phone to Ifrit first, otherwise I won't be able to talk to her."

Saria paused for a moment, then nodded and stopped the car.

However, when Ifrit, carrying the kitchen utensils prepared by Su Rui, intended to make a simple breakfast, Saria, lying in her driver's seat, didn't fall asleep immediately but instead started chatting with Su Rui:

"Su Rui, it seems you can only affect electronic devices, right?"

If Su Rui could interfere with matter, he could easily prepare breakfast as he described, just like he said about parking the car.

"... You noticed, but Ifrit has already gone to make breakfast. You can't just drive away like that."

Su Rui sounded a little embarrassed, so she directly revealed her abilities. "You guessed right, I can only interfere with things controlled by electronic signals. This car is mostly mechanical in structure."

At the very least, both starting a vehicle and propelling it forward are done by mechanical structures.

Su Rui really couldn't stop using electronic signals.

Saria nodded, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. Although her methods were somewhat strange, Su Rui was indeed concerned about her.

The more rational Saria didn't care about the methods used; she only knew that Su Rui wanted to help her.

A little further away from the car, Ifrit followed Su Rui's instructions to set up a makeshift outdoor stove, then lit a fire and boiled water to make breakfast, all the while asking Su Rui:

"Su Rui, how did you and Saria meet?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, it's just a coincidence. That's not what you want to ask, is it? Just ask."

Ifrit was slightly embarrassed by Su Rui's words, then cautiously stood up and glanced in the direction of the SUV. At that moment, Saria was indeed resting with her eyes closed.

After confirming Saria's condition, Ifrit finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

What is your relationship with Saria?

"I thought you would ask why she suddenly took you away."

"Saria did this for my own good, what's there to ask?"

Ifrit, hands on her hips, smugly urged Su Rui, "Alright, hurry up and tell me, what's your relationship with Saria? And what are you?"

"... Do you believe I'll pick you up and spank you?!"

Su Rui threatened Ifrit with dissatisfaction. "First of all, Saria and I are now friends who can trust each other. Secondly, I am a human, just not here right now."

Explaining directly to Ifrit that she didn't have a physical body felt a bit too complicated for the young girl, so Su Rui explained it in a way that she could understand.

"I see. Thank you for saving me, Saria. I'll thank you properly when we meet again! What do you want? I'll get it for you!"

Ifrit and gave Su Rui, who couldn't see her, a warm smile. It seemed she genuinely intended to get along well with Su Rui and become friends.

"Really? Then can I call you Ifrit?"

"Of course, no problem. That's what Muelsyse calls me too." Ifrit nodded.

Then she heard Su Rui say, "In that case, I'll teach you how to study."

"Huh?" Ifrit was stunned, speechless. Then the little girl focused her gaze on the kitchen utensils used for cooking breakfast and stammered:

"No need, I can learn on my own."

"Really? But if Ifrit gets good grades, Saria and Silence will be very happy, right?"

"Even if you say that, I still..." Ifrit was still very reluctant.

Volume 4, Chapter 202: Eek~Stalker

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing you. I know you don't like those things."

Seeing Ifrit's stiff expression, Su Rui couldn't help but comfort her, while also reminding her, "Breakfast is ready, turn off the fire quickly, playing with fire will get you a spanking."

"I know~"

Ifrit. By this time, Su Rui had already woken Saria and came to Ifrit's side, reaching out to pat her head.

"Well done, Ifrit."

"Mm!" Ifrit nodded happily, a smug smile spreading across her face at Saria's praise.

This breakfast was just a small episode in the wilderness. Su Rui wasn't interested in the simple breakfast, so she just watched Saria and Ifrit slowly finish their breakfast without saying a word.

After having breakfast, Saria continued driving, taking Ifrit towards the destination marked by Su Rui.

Su Rui sighed, "I was originally planning to let you rest for another morning."

"This short rest period is not important to me. The most important thing now is to get to the next Mobile City as soon as possible, and then get to Mansfield."

Saria drove, offering a word of comfort to Su Rui, "Alright, I'll get some rest once we get to Mansfield."

"Yes, after all, you can't move around as freely in Mansfield."

Su Rui said irritably, but still marked the fastest and most convenient route in Saria's field of vision.

We can't let Saria drive aimlessly and waste time, can we?

Since Saria said so, staying up late occasionally is indeed not a problem for her.

Under Su Rui's guidance, they encountered no danger along the way. Saria even had a manager check on Silence and the others' situation through Su Rui's Scanning Vision.

Silence and her companions are just getting ready to depart; they haven't even left the Mobile City of Trimounts yet.

After another day of driving, Saria finally arrived at the Mobile City where Trimounts was about to stop in the evening.

It will take another full day to get to Mansfield.

Su Rui watched as Saria drove the car into the Mobile City and parked it in the parking lot of a hotel.

"Mansfield won't be stopping here until the day after tomorrow, so you might as well rest in the wilderness for a bit."

"But there's no problem resting here, is there?"

Saria booked a double room with two single beds and brought Ifrit to the hotel room.

Everything they need is stored in Su Rui's System Space... Oh, and they also need some changes of clothes.

Saria glanced at the time and said to Ifrit beside her:

"I need to rest early tonight. How about I take you out to buy some clean clothes tomorrow morning?"

"Okay," Ifrit, her eyes sparkling. "I just saw there's a buffet downstairs, Saria, aren't you going to eat?"

"I don't need to, let Su Rui take you. Just remember not to lose your phone."

As she spoke, Saria handed her phone to Ifrit and instructed, "Don't let Ifrit play on her phone, and don't let her run around. Remember to notify me immediately if anything happens."

"Don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems."

Su Rui confidently assured him that Saria could maintain telepathy with him, and that her Scanning Vision could directly cover the entire Mobile City and even more.

It's absolutely impossible to kidnap Ifrit in front of Su Rui.

After chatting with Saria, Ifrit hummed a little tune, put on the coat that Su Rui had taken out of the System Space, and headed towards the buffet restaurant below.

It's impossible to get Ifrit to eat healthy food in a place like this. The little girl would definitely prefer fried food and the like. After all, Silence and the others probably wouldn't let Ifrit eat unhealthy things normally.

Eating it occasionally shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, Su Rui didn't forget to pull out a pair of earphones from some System Space and have Ifrit put one on one of her ears, so that he and Ifrit could communicate more easily without being detected.

"Be natural, Ifrit. Don't stare at one person for too long. Let's go straight to the restaurant to eat."

"Okay, I understand." Ifrit withdrew her curious gaze. Fortunately, as a child, most people wouldn't mind too much, and wearing a coat was also appropriate for this season, so Ifrit didn't encounter any obstacles along the way.

"It's much better here than at Rhine Lab. If it weren't for Saria, Silence and I would be questioned by several people every step we took," Ifrit muttered resentfully.

"At least now you don't need to worry about that kind of thing, right?"

Su Rui comforted Ifrit but suddenly noticed something was wrong, "Be careful, Ifrit, something's appeared next to you, it's water, no, it's Originium Arts."

Ifrit immediately took two steps back as Su Rui reminded her, and cautiously took out her staff from her pocket. Although she hadn't conducted any experiments, Ifrit herself was quite Originium Arts.

However, what appeared before them was a somewhat thin girl with long green hair.

Ifrit's eyes widened in surprise. "Muelsyse! What are you doing here?"

"Of course, it's because I heard about Ifrit being taken away by Saria, so I wanted to come see you. I don't think Saria would take you away for no reason, right?"

"Of course, it's because Ifrit's experiment was suspicious from the very beginning."

Su Rui's annoyed voice came from Ifrit's phone. Since Muelsyse was here, she must have already spotted Su Rui:

"So, how did you find this place?" I had already deleted all information about Saria and Ifrit directly from the internet; no one could know they had left Trimounts.

Unless the security personnel can remember everyone's face.

Ifrit couldn't help but look at Muelsyse with some curiosity, wanting to know how she had found her way here.

The Water Spirit girl a little embarrassedly looked away from Ifrit's gaze, and whispered, pressing her slender fingers to her moist lips:

"I care about Ifrit a lot, so I left some Manifold on her to ensure Ifrit safety~"

"Oh, I see." Ifrit didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The little girl just nodded in sudden understanding. Muelsyse often played this kind of game with her.

Su Rui, however, didn't hold back in her criticism. "Stalker~"

Volume 4, Chapter 203: Intelligence Work is as follows

"How can you say that? I was just concerned about Ifrit's safety."

Muelsyse immediately put on a wronged expression, then looked around and said, "Speaking of which, where are you? I can't find you."

"I'm talking to you on my phone, just call me Su Rui."

"Hmm, the evidence Saria found must have been provided by you, Su Rui? You're amazing! Can you help me out a little too?"

"If I have time, of course, provided that we can usually stay in touch online."
