Ark Simulator, don't I have no physical form?

Volume 1: The Undercurrents of the 31 Families

Since last night, when Honeysuckle completed the assassination, Vorsini has actually become quite lively.

However, neither Honeysuckle nor Suri, the source of the chaos, were aware of this.

Even on the morning of the second day, after the Venice family received news of the mission's success—even excessive success—and saw the news in the newspaper, neither Honeysuckle nor Suri were affected.

The female driver stood in front of Ren Dong's office, smiling as she looked at the various "important figures" from the family who wanted to visit Ren Dong, and politely declined their requests for a meeting.

"I'm sorry, everyone. Miss Rendong is quite busy right now. There are still some tasks to finish regarding the mission assigned by the head of the family. Also, Miss Rendong, who has been working all night, needs to rest. Please go back first."

"I see. Honeysuckle has made such a great contribution, she really deserves a good rest. How about we prepare a celebration banquet later?"

"Great idea! After all, this is a big deal. Thanks to Miss Honeysuckle, the reputation of our Venetian family will definitely become even more renowned!"

After being stopped by the driver, the "big shots" from the family who wanted to meet them left, exchanging compliments and conversations.

The driver glanced discreetly at the small Venice park not far away, maintaining her smile. She wouldn't embarrass herself if the other party didn't come over to greet her.

After all, Little Venice is Miss Honeysuckle's open rival, and both are strong contenders for the position of head of the family.

It was obvious that Little Venice harbored hostility towards Miss Honeysuckle... but Miss Honeysuckle didn't seem to care much about it.

Especially... just thinking about the situation inside the office made the driver want to sigh.

After Miss Honeysuckle returned, she had a good sleep and got up very early this morning. The driver originally thought that her boss was going to work hard, demonstrate his value, and gain more power.

As a result, after Miss Honeysuckle printed out the report and handed it to another assistant to deliver to Mr. Venice, she stayed in her office.

What are they doing in there? Playing games, of course.

To be honest, the driver didn't quite understand why Miss Honeysuckle was still in the mood to play games at a time like this, but she still firmly followed Miss Honeysuckle's request and refused everyone's idea of ​​meeting.

Meanwhile, Ren Dong and Su Rui were playing games in the office. They hadn't finished the last game due to time constraints, so after some discussion and bargaining, they decided that after completing this game, they would continue playing another one.

However, Suri can't go too far. He can't control Honeysuckle as he pleases in this game anymore. He needs to help Honeysuckle reach the game's ending as soon as possible and then move on to the next game.

"I just saw that all those people who were gathered outside have left. The driver did a pretty good job."

After Honeysuckle finished eliminating the enemies in front of her, during a break from resupplying and recovering, Su Rui told her about what had happened outside.

“That’s normal. They think I will become the next head of the Venice family, so they naturally want to come and meet me to get closer to me.”

Honeysuckle casually remarked, picked up the coffee the driver had poured for her before leaving, drank it all in one gulp, and then continued playing the game.

"Are you really not planning to inherit the position of family head? I think the position of family head is actually quite good, with many advantages..."

"Alright, Su Rui, I've made up my mind about this. You'll have to help me out when the time comes, okay?"

Honeysuckle interrupted Su Rui, continuing to play the game, and asked, "Where should I go next?"

"Go forward, there's a hidden wall around the corner. Roll over, then continue along the road, watching out for ambushes overhead."

Su Rui glanced at the strategy guide she had found and gave Ren Dong some tips.

While Suri and Honeysuckle were interacting, she refused all visits. After noticing that Little Venice had also left, she switched shifts with the assistant who had returned with the documents. The driver, who was back in the office, opened the door and locked it again.

After all, while playing video games isn't a bad thing, it still seems a bit unserious within the family, so we need to keep it a secret for Miss Honeysuckle.

"Driver? Could you pour me another drink? No coffee, something hot."

Honeysuckle glanced at the driver, casually made a request, and then continued playing the game.

Why are you calling me that? You were just calling me by my name.

Although she was inwardly complaining, the driver still smiled and replied, "Okay, Miss Honeysuckle."

Afterwards, she washed the teacup and placed a cup of brewed hot tea next to Honeysuckle.

To be honest, the driver felt that Miss Honeysuckle's condition was deteriorating.

As if she had been gradually corrupted by someone, the original Miss Honeysuckle was polite and proper, meticulous and serious in her work, and would even call her by her name affectionately.

Although Miss Honeysuckle has accomplished many great things and made many contributions, she actually uses this title to replace her name and sits in her seat playing games so casually that no one even bothers to glance at her.

However, what can she do when Miss Honeysuckle is her boss?

Moreover, the driver couldn't see anyone who could affect Miss Honeysuckle.

After all, most of the time, Miss Honeysuckle acts alone, and even when she acts with others, it is usually with her and her other assistants.

Surely they can't have led Miss Honeysuckle astray? They absolutely refuse to take the blame for this.

Just as the female driver was standing to the side of Ren Dong, passing the time by looking at the screen on the computer and waiting for Ren Dong's instructions, Ren Dong suddenly spoke.

"After defeating this boss, the game should end, right?"

Huh? Is someone talking to me? But I've never played this game before, what should I do?

The driver looked at the screen with some panic, then said uncertainly, "Is that right?"

But Ren Dong just turned her head and glanced at her, then nodded at her unexpectedly, and then nodded again as if she had heard someone speak: "I understand, after we finish this game, let's move on to the next one."

Miss Honeysuckle definitely has a mental illness. Should I advise her to see a doctor?

The female driver was conflicted. She looked at Ren Dong, hesitant to speak, but didn't know how to start the conversation.

Meanwhile, in Honeysuckle's mind, Suri also had some doubts:

"Speaking of which, you don't even hide from people when you talk to me now?"

"There's no need for that; no one will question me for no reason."

Miss Honeysuckle was talking to herself again, and Miss Driver was completely certain of her judgment.

Volume 1: 32 Heavy Punches

Ren Dong was focused on playing the game and didn't notice, but Su Rui, being a multi-threaded simulation system, naturally noticed the driver's gaze towards Ren Dong.

"The way you're acting, the driver's looking at you like you're mentally ill!"

"It's okay, I'm not mentally ill, right?"

As she spoke, Ren Dong turned to look at the driver, who jumped in surprise and quickly nodded.

"Yes, yes, how could Miss Honeysuckle have a mental illness?"

"I knew it! You're someone who also has fantasies about friends, so you can understand me."

No, at least I know that casually talking about this kind of thing can easily make people think I'm mentally ill.

Moreover, the driver confirmed that Miss Honeysuckle has recently been making no attempt to hide the fact that she has a fantasy friend from anyone.

Could it be that the stress of performing the mission caused hallucinations?

However, after being glanced at by Ren Dong, the driver lost the courage to suggest that Ren Dong see a doctor.

Judging from this, if she really dares to say it, she'll probably get a severe lesson from Miss Honeysuckle.

Oh well, let's just assume it's my boss who likes to talk to himself.

Silently accepting reality, the female driver continued watching Honeysuckle play her game.

However, after spending a great deal of effort and trying more than ten times to defeat the final boss and complete the ending, both Su Rui and Ren Dong were somewhat exhausted.

"Let's not start any new games, shall we go out for a walk? I'm getting a little bored."

"Me too, I'll go out and take a look." Honeysuckle nodded, then shut down the computer, pushed back her chair, and stood up.

The driver quickly regained her composure and looked at the honeysuckle:

"Where would you like to go? I'll arrange it for you right away."

"No need." Ren Dong glanced at the driver and thought for a moment:

What are Suri's thoughts?

Is she talking to an imaginary friend? Miss Honeysuckle's inner strength is truly growing stronger.

The driver forced a smile, which even Su Rui found somewhat awkward.

However, Suri still answered Honeysuckle's question:

"My advice is to bring an umbrella, go out for a walk, don't think about the destination, just look at the scenery and the crowds in Vorcinny."

"good idea."

Honeysuckle nodded, then picked up an umbrella and instructed the female driver beside her:

"No need to make arrangements for me. I'll be away for a while. If anything comes up, just contact me by phone."

"Okay, Miss Honeysuckle, have fun."

The driver actually had something else to say, such as that the important figures in the family would definitely have spies planted, and if Miss Honeysuckle went out directly, she would inevitably run into them and be blocked on the road by people trying to curry favor with her.

Just as the driver was about to remind Ren Dong after struggling with her decision, she turned around and found that her boss had already disappeared.

Suri reminded Honeysuckle of this matter:

"You'd better not speak now. There are a lot of people watching you and looking for you. I've marked the people who are monitoring you. Remember to avoid them."

"I see."

Honeysuckle nodded and decided to communicate with Su Rui directly by speaking.

"...You seem to prefer talking to me directly lately. Aren't you worried about the issue of secrecy?"

Su Rui's question made Ren Dong think. Glancing at the 52% progress of the system's physicalization in the corner, Ren Dong couldn't help but smile.

After glancing at the increasingly vivid image of the nine-tailed fox boy in the video, Ren Dong suppressed her urge to tell Su Rui:

"It's nothing, I just wanted to communicate with you like this. It feels a little strange to always talk in my head."

This is also so that I can communicate with you after you become a physical being.

Honeysuckle smiled, holding up her umbrella, and strolled through the misty Syracuse.

However, at this moment, Honeysuckle was still in the courtyard of the Venetian family. She would have to put in a lot of effort to get past the intricate gardens and the watchful eyes of the gate.

Is there any way to make things easier for me?

“I’ve turned on the camouflage. With your current walking speed and the weather, those people won’t notice you.”

While there is no perfect camouflage, this type of camouflage is sufficient for the honeysuckle at this moment, allowing for slow movement.

As she casually walked past the spies still guarding the Venetian family, holding her umbrella, Ren Dong encountered a dilemma upon reaching the gate.

To leave through the main gate, you must open it, but that will get you discovered. If you try to climb over the wall, you'll get your clothes wet.

After playing games for a long time, I feel physically and mentally exhausted and don't want to do anything troublesome.

Fortunately, Suri noticed her thoughts: "Wait for me to have the gatekeepers open the door."

As soon as Su Rui finished speaking, the guard's phone rang, and then, as if he had received some notification, he opened the gate.

Honeysuckle then walked out of the Venetian family compound and, after walking a short distance, inquired:

"What did you just say to those guards?"

"You told the guards to open the door with your tone, and then after you came out, just now, I told them to close the door again."

"I see."

Although the guards might find Honeysuckle's request a bit absurd, who could refuse Miss Honeysuckle, who is currently at the height of her popularity in the Venetian family?

Even Little Venice doesn't dare to put on airs in front of Honeysuckle now. When they met before, she only gave her a resentful look before slinking away.

"Dare to defy me, someone with the potential to become the head of the family? This is no ordinary act of rebellion. I must strike hard! Honeysuckle, we can't hesitate any longer!"

"Alright, you're talking nonsense again. But according to your logic, how should I say it?"

Ren Dong smiled helplessly, ignoring Su Rui's little joke, and instead asked more questions.

The honeysuckle had already shed its camouflage, and although Vorsini was shrouded in mist and drizzling, there were still quite a few pedestrians around.

Honeysuckle's mutterings still attracted the attention of a few people, but she didn't pay any attention to them.

"You should send out your elite troops and teach that little Venice a lesson."

"That's weird, I don't see anything funny about it."

Honeysuckle was a little confused about the joke, but as Su Rui answered, she noticed the people around her that Su Rui had marked.

"Texas? And Lappland?"
