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

Just say my name is Su Rui, and I'm just helping you with a small favor. Don't tell me my specific situation.

Talulah nodded as she looked at the subtitles Suri displayed in her field of vision, then looked at her mother:

“I have a friend named Su Rui, and he’s really good at this.”

"Okay, that's good. Little Ta has made another good friend. Remember to get along well with him!"

"Okay, Mom."

Talulah reluctantly answered her mother's instructions, then chatted with the lady for a while before hanging up the phone.

"It seems your mother has resolved her inner conflict and will probably live a good life from now on."

Suri casually remarked, and then gave her conclusion:

"This kind of contact can continue, but it's best not to do it too frequently. It's best not to be discovered, whether it's on your side or your mother's side... Black Snake's spies are still in Lungmen."

"I see."

Talulah nodded, then sat on her bed, gently stroking the soft mattress.

She had been chatting with her mother for so long that she hadn't noticed that the sky outside was already pitch black.

"Alright, it's getting late, go to bed early, close the curtains, hurry up!"

Suri's tone became stern. Although Talulah was almost an adult, seeing how dependent she was on her mother, Suri subconsciously thought of her own daughter, Little Lily of the Valley.

Therefore, even towards Talulah, some people felt the same way that an elder was looking after a child.

Talulah was startled by Suri's sudden stern tone. She flicked her long tail and whispered:

"I understand, but wait a moment, there's one more thing."

With that, the girl jumped off the bed, went to the window and drew the curtains, then went to the door, knocked, and gave some instructions to the maid beside her.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that Talulah wasn't going to sleep, but instead sitting at the table in Yong'an Lane where people usually have afternoon tea or read, Su Rui was a little confused and also a little dissatisfied. Was she planning to stay up all night? Such a rebellious child should be spanked.

In fact, although Suri was at a disadvantage in her relationship with Ren Dong, she was the one who took the lead when it came to educating the children.

When Little Lily of the Valley makes a mistake or acts willfully, Honeysuckle always gives her a few perfunctory words and lets it go, but Little Lily of the Valley will continue to make the same mistake.

Suri couldn't stand it, so he would usually just drop the game, pick up Xiaolinglan and put her on his lap, then slap her little bottom hard until his daughter promised not to make the same mistake again.

Sometimes, Ren Dong would criticize Su Rui's actions, thinking that Ling Lan was too young to be taught like that. Then Su Rui would scold her severely, and Ling Lan would be scolded as well.

Thinking of this, Suri couldn't help but laugh, which puzzled Talulah: "What's wrong? Did you just laugh?"

"Yes, I've thought of something happy."

Suri said casually, then asked Talulah, "So what do you want to do?"

A sly glint flashed in Talulah's eyes, and a smile played on her lips, but instead of answering Su Rui's question directly, she said softly:

"Don't tell you."

Su Rui raised an eyebrow and scolded her impatiently:

"I don't care what you want to do, you just need to rest now. Finish this quickly and go back to sleep..."

Suri wanted to continue lecturing Talulah, but then she saw a steaming hot pizza being brought over by a maid and placed in front of her.

Talulah smiled and, in front of the maid, said to Suri in her mind, 'I ate your pizza while you were busy, so how about I prepare a new one for you?'

"That's quite thoughtful, but eating before bed isn't good, you should be more careful in the future... Let me borrow your body for a moment, I need to eat something."

Talulah's behavior made Suri feel a little embarrassed to scold her, and she even softened her tone when scolding her.

Talulah smiled and nodded, then suddenly felt herself lose control of her body, as if she were watching her own body from the sidelines. But she saw "Talulah" reach out to touch the steaming pizza in front of her.

"Suri? This feels so strange. But why aren't you using cutlery?"

"I'm not a nobleman, and why do we need utensils for pizza? Don't we just eat it directly?"

Suri responded to Talulah in her mind, then gently tested the pizza with her finger. She found that although it was steaming, the heat of the pizza was nothing to Talulah's body; it only provided a slight warmth.

"What a useful body." After muttering to himself, Su Rui picked up a slice of pizza and began to eat it with great enjoyment.

I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the delicious food for a while after losing my physical form, but I didn't expect that Honeysuckle would actually prepare such a special feature for me... It's so thoughtful that it makes me a little sad.

Suri couldn't help but think of honeysuckle again, then shook her head uncomfortably. She couldn't always be immersed in sadness; honeysuckle probably wouldn't want her to be like this either.

Furthermore, I should also thank Talulah for lending me her body temporarily so I can eat.

With that thought in mind, Suri casually ate her pizza in front of the maid, under her surprised gaze, completely ignoring the cutlery.

"Now Kosic will definitely bring up my manners again."

Talulah sighed inwardly, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"What are you afraid of? When he brings this up, just hit him directly. Just skip over this matter by fighting."

Suri didn't care at all, and mentally gave Talulah some advice, saying:

"But speaking of which, I remember there's another way to eat pizza in Syracuse: you roll up a whole pizza and eat it all by yourself in one go."

“In that case, I’m afraid I’ll be immersed in tedious etiquette classes for several days.”

"You can skip class, why do you insist on attending? Just ignore the classes that don't involve combat or knowledge, right? You've already mastered aristocratic etiquette, haven't you? I'm the one who doesn't care, not you."

Volume 2, Chapter 71: Shall we skip class?

"But is this really a good idea? If I skip class, won't it have some impact on the teacher?"

Talulah was genuinely worried that her skipping class might affect the teacher's job.

But Su Rui felt no psychological burden whatsoever, and he even had his own theory:

"Don't worry at all. Finding a new etiquette teacher for you because of this is just giving the teacher another job. Besides, given the way Kosiche is, that kind of face-saving, foolish nobleman, he'll still pay the teacher the same salary even if you skip class."

Suri paused for a moment: "So, you skipped class, you win, the teacher comes to class, you get paid without working, you win, that idiot Kosichek got fooled by you, you win, you win three times."

"...Oh~"

Talulah looked shocked, staring blankly at the form that Suri had displayed in her field of vision, clearly not expecting that such a thing could be done.

"Then... when we face Kosicé tomorrow, let's give him a good beating?!"

Thinking of this, Talulah couldn't help but feel excited, but Suri's tone changed, and she urged her again:

"Whatever you want to do tomorrow, it's too late now. Go back to sleep."

"Oh~"

Talulah drew out her words, went to the window, slowly took off her clothes, changed into her pajamas, and crawled into bed.

"Have you taken a shower? If you exercised a lot today, you must be sweating, right?"

"I'll wash it tomorrow, it's too late now."

Talulah had already crawled into bed, not wanting to listen to Suri's lecture, and drifted off to sleep in a daze.

"..." She fell asleep quite quickly.

The next morning, after washing up, Talulah began her lessons, which continued with Koschei personally teaching her various subjects.

Unexpectedly, he didn't mention anything about Talulah etiquette, and it was unclear whether Koschei didn't care or the maid hadn't told Koschei about it.

So, while Kosiché appeared to be giving a lecture, Talulah was actually pretending to listen while communicating with Suri in her mind.

"Talulah, what are your plans for the future? Or rather, what are your goals?"

Suri felt it was necessary to help Talulah make some plans and give her some advice. After all, there was no good plan for someone like Honeysuckle; her life was already set, and all she had to do was kill, kill, kill.

However, after Talulah had been educated by the Black Serpent for so long, Suri was a little worried that the Black Serpent was corrupting the child.

Moreover, even though she's almost an adult, Su Rui always feels that Talulah is a bit dim-witted. By the way, Su Rui isn't stupid; he only gets along with Ren Dong because he trusts her. He's very smart.

Talulah's answer was equally decisive, without the slightest hesitation: "Kill Koschei, of course! Avenge him!"

"and then?"

"And then?" Talulah paused, began to think, and then said uncertainly:

"Then, with your help, the scanning vision, and your reminders, I'm sure I can escape from the Duchy of Kosicheans. When that happens, I'll go back to help those oppressed infected and help everyone build a better future!"

By the way, Koschei wants me to inherit the title, but he will definitely not succeed if I get Oripathy beforehand!

I can also go to Ursus and organize the infected to rise up against oppression!

"..." Seeing Talulah's confident demeanor, Suri was speechless for once.

Talulah, feeling uneasy at Suri's silence, asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with my plan?"

"Well, first of all, I acknowledge your kindness and empathy; you are a very good person."

Suri started by stacking armor to calm Talulah down, and then explained her plan:

“Then, I have a plan that might be more efficient and better able to help those infected and oppressed. Are you interested?”

Using a lecturing or reprimanding tone directly will only provoke Talulah's rebellious attitude; such an important matter cannot be taken lightly.

Suri's words indeed caught Talulah's attention, and she urged Suri repeatedly, "Yes, yes, hurry up and tell me. Suri, your plan will definitely be useful, and even if you don't use it, it can still serve as a reference."

“Alright, I think you can inherit Kosiché’s dukedom. This doesn’t conflict with killing him. Let me explain.”

As Suri spoke, she took the opportunity to soothe Talulah's potentially fluctuating emotions:

"Koschei himself is an immortal black serpent, and the way he possesses bodies is actually a semi-open secret among those nobles. After killing him, we can pretend that you have been possessed, and then, as the black serpent and the duke, we can issue policies that secretly benefit the infected, and secretly help them."

'But the black snake's magic...' Talulah was still a little worried.

“I still live in your mind. The Black Serpent’s abilities are a joke to me. I destroyed it as soon as it came over.”

Suri casually remarked, then made a list for Talulah:

"This way, you don't have to become an infected person, you don't have to harm yourself, and you can help more infected people more efficiently. At the same time, you can secretly fund the infected people's resistance. With the identity of Black Serpent, you will have a lot of help. Just make them misunderstand your plan. This is easy for me."

"I see." Talulah's eyes sparkled as she looked at the table and plan Suri had laid out in her field of vision, nodding repeatedly. "Suri, your plan is fantastic! I think it's very feasible!"

"of course."

Suri listed some policies: "Since there's nothing to do right now, let's plan some policies first. These are the policies I plan to release at the beginning."

Basically, it's about giving infected people some treatment, pretending to offer small favors to entice them to work hard and exploit them, but in reality, it's also about improving their living conditions.

But Talulah was clearly not satisfied with the plan. She looked at the conditions Suri had offered with surprise: 'Aren't these too few? Can they really support one person?'

“I know you’re thinking of God, and I know you want to help them, but everything has to be put into practice to be effective, Talulah.”

Suri patiently explained to Talulah, "The infected people have nothing right now, no guarantees. If you want to give them a lot of benefits at once, the other nobles won't agree. We can only proceed gradually in this way."

'I see……'

Talulah is quite intelligent and understanding, which makes her quite good.

Book 2, Chapter 72: The Death of Coschick.

While Koschei was giving his lecture, Suri and Talulah chatted for a long time about plans and the future. In short, both of them seemed to be enjoying themselves, as did Koschei.

Because Talulah rarely nodded from time to time, showing an expression of agreement, and even smiled, which was quite different from Talulah who usually disagreed.

These reactions led Kosiché to mistakenly believe that Talulah had begun to agree with his theories.

Even the immortal black snake couldn't help but reveal a pleased smile.

However, Talulah didn't actually notice him at all.

Meanwhile, Suri and Talulah's conversation gradually shifted from serious to nonsensical.

"Suri, do you have any other plans? Tell us about them."

Talulah rested her chin on one hand, seemingly looking at Kosichek and the podium, but her attention was actually focused on what Suri was showing her.

"Of course, I do have another plan, which is actually my favorite."

At this point, Suri's tone became excited, and Talulah was immediately drawn to her attention.

This was because she noticed that this was the first time Suri had shown such positive emotions during their time together.

Then, Suri showed some visuals and practical methods of Originium Arts:

"The Drak are a powerful race. This power is not only due to their Originium Arts and physical strength, but also their control over their forces. I mean, your spells can summon an entire undead army to fight for you at any time. You are an army all by yourself."
