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

Then, recovering from her surprise, Ren Dong got up and checked that the doors and windows were locked. She then returned to the sofa and spoke to Su Rui in a low voice:

Where did you find this document?

"Of course it's online. This document may not be real. Don't believe it. Who would put a development plan for the next ten years or so online? Even if it's encrypted, it's still too hasty. I think it's probably just a prank."

Su Rui's judgment seemed reasonable to Ren Dong, but after noticing the signature "Madame Sicily," she couldn't believe that anyone would dare to impersonate such an important figure.

"Suri, when you decrypted this file, what was its encryption level? Was the decryption process difficult?"

"Well, its encryption level is quite high. I specifically chose the most encrypted file I've seen. But you don't actually believe it, do you? I think it's probably just a little prank that some hacker doesn't intend to make public."

Sometimes, you have to learn to believe that even high-ranking officials can make mistakes.

"So you believe this prank-like encrypted file? I just found it after casually glancing at the internet."

Su Rui's voice tried to persuade her again, but Ren Dong had already made up her mind and retreated back into the sofa. Anyway, no one else knew about this except Su Rui, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

Volume 1: 9U-chan's Live Stream

Even if Madame Sicily really intended to follow the plan in this encrypted document and begin preparing to build a mobile city some time later, it would still take a long time for the city to be completed.

This lengthy construction period is enough time for all families to prepare, so even if they know in advance, they may not necessarily have any advantage over other families.

Therefore, honeysuckle could comfortably keep this important news to herself, pretending that she didn't know it.

"By the way, so you were browsing confidential documents online just now?"

No wonder he was so focused and ignored me earlier. Being able to see all sorts of secrets must satisfy Su Rui's curiosity, right?

Children are always full of curiosity. Although Suri's judgment and voice seemed to indicate that he was an adult, his attitude and way of looking at problems always made Ren Dong unconsciously treat him as a vibrant teenager.

"Huh? No, I was just watching someone else play games on the internet."

Ren Dong was stunned for a moment. After gaining the ability to observe all the secrets in the entire network, was Su Rui only using this ability to watch live broadcasts?

'You really didn't see those classified intelligence reports?'

"Why should I look at that intelligence? It has nothing to do with me. Besides, most of your stuff is just dry and hard-to-understand text, right? I still prefer game live streams."

As Su Rui spoke, a live stream appeared in Ren Dong's field of vision:

"I just found this. It's not a game stream, but it's pretty interesting. Want to check it out together?"

"...Okay." Honeysuckle nodded, then looked at the live stream in front of her.

A pink-haired girl with pigtails is taking a selfie with a selfie stick, showing herself and the scene behind her, which appears to be a university campus.

The girl is introducing herself to the viewers of the live stream:

"Hello everyone, welcome to U-chan's live stream channel! I'm a new streamer, Eureka! I'm currently a university student!"

As she introduced herself, Eureka showed a portion of the camera's view to a large device resembling a rocket on the playground behind her, and enthusiastically explained:

"This is a project organized by our seniors, and it seems to be about technology for exploring the sky! I'm sure everyone is interested in this mysterious realm that we've never set foot in before! Today, let U-chan take you on a tour of the development of cutting-edge technology~"

As the girl finished her introduction, Su Rui and Ren Dong noticed that the rocket-like launcher behind her seemed to have a problem; it appeared to be leaking air at a certain point, spewing out some mist.

"It seems there's been a slight problem? But exploring new fields is always difficult, and I believe our seniors can solve this problem well. Let U-chan..."

Before Eureka could even defend the senior students in the project team, one of the senior students behind her, who was operating the equipment, shouted:

"Everyone run! There's a fuel leak!"

A gasp of surprise sent the students who had been watching the eye-catching project on the playground scattering like birds. Even Eureka had to force a smile and keep her distance from the rocket.

Then, before they could get much distance away, the rocket captured by the camera spontaneously combusted due to a leak and exploded a few seconds later.

"Ah!~"

With a scream from Eureka, Su Rui and Ren Dong saw the phone with the selfie stick flying out of her hand and landing on the ground not far away. The screen then cracked and went black.

'She seems to be in trouble? This looks like Columbia University?'

Ren Dong looked at the black screen of the live stream with mixed feelings. She never expected that Su Rui would do this when she just randomly picked a live stream.

"Yes, it is indeed a live broadcast from Colombia, and it's quite interesting."

In Ren Dong's view, Su Rui followed this live stream, and then closed the already blacked-out live stream, replacing it with a live stream of a game.

"Are you still going to follow her? She caused such a mess on her very first livestream; she probably won't be in the mood to continue streaming, right?"

"What if? I think it's quite interesting. If she survives and continues to stream, I'll be her loyal viewer."

Suri said cheerfully, "Isn't this anchor named Eureka very interesting?"

'Even if she encounters this kind of terrible accident every time she streams afterward?'

Although she knew it was wrong to "curse" a stranger like that, at that moment, Ren Dong felt that what she said was not wrong.

But Suri's answer was even more unexpected: "If that's the case, that would be fantastic! I love big scenes, especially lots of bloodshed! That would make me even more eager to follow this streamer!"

"I'd better not bring this up anymore," Ren Dong noticed Su Rui's excitement and decided to change the subject. She glanced at the game's live stream in her field of vision, realized that she neither understood nor had any interest in it, and then took out her phone.

'I'm thinking of messaging those assistants I'm interested in now and asking them to come over for a meeting, how about that?'

"Okay, what are your plans? Do you want to talk to them about your ambitions? Or do you simply want them to work under you in the future and be more approachable?"

Suri's curiosity was piqued again by Ren Dong. Although the live stream was still on in her field of vision, Ren Dong was confident that Suri was intently waiting for her answer in her mind.

"Of course, we should eat something together and act like we're easy to get along with. After all, didn't you say they're just helping me... with the work?"

The words "hard labor" almost slipped out of Ren Dong's mouth, but thankfully she held them back in time, which also caused a slight change in her mindset.

We can't let Su Rui lead us astray so easily. The reason she decided to recruit these women into her ranks is because she's quite familiar with them.

Moreover, there's no need to ask them to do anything difficult or confidential; they can be used as ordinary subordinates. Ren Dong doesn't plan to hand over any secrets to them, so he's not worried about whether any spies might infiltrate his circle.

However, while waiting, Ren Dong's heart stirred with the thought of teasing Su Rui:

"By the way, since you enjoy admiring women, would you like me to have them change into nicer clothes before coming over?"

"No, that would be too abrupt, and besides, most clothes don't actually make a big difference."

This is a completely wrong statement, Ren Dong thought to herself, but she did not refute Su Rui. There would be plenty of time for him to realize that his view was wrong.

Volume 1: 10 Rhetorical Questions

As it turned out, the gathering that Ren Dong mentioned was actually just inviting a few women she had chosen to her bedroom to sit on the sofa, drink tea, and chat, like a girls' tea party.

However, because of Su Rui, Ren Dong was somewhat hesitant when talking about topics such as underwear and cosmetics.

Ren Dong was still a little worried that Su Rui might be eavesdropping, but her mind was completely silent.

Although Su Rui canceled the live stream in her field of vision, Ren Dong was now certain that Su Rui was definitely watching the game live stream, not eavesdropping.

Because Su Rui probably doesn't have that kind of cunning. If he really were eavesdropping, he probably wouldn't be able to resist interrupting when Ren Dong and her subordinates were chatting, and then Ren Dong would find out.

Su Rui is quiet, she must be addicted to online live streaming or something else.

Realizing this, Ren Dong relaxed a little and chatted happily with his subordinates about all sorts of topics.

When women chat, they inevitably talk about their appearance, marriage, and the opposite sex.

As the highest-ranking person, Ren Dong inevitably attracted attention, and her subordinates all looked at her curiously:

"Ms. Ingrid, what are your expectations for your future partner?"

"let me see."

Ingrid pinched her chin, confirming in her mind that Su Rui was quietly watching the live stream, and then began to describe the system's materialization progress, specifically Su Rui's silhouette as it was currently only visible:

"If possible, it would be best to have a walper, preferably thin and cute, with nine tails."

"Nine tails? It seems that only the East has them, right? Or are they highly regarded deities there? It seems that Ms. Ingrid will have to put in a lot of effort if she wants to pursue a man she likes."

Her subordinates gasped in amazement, their gazes towards Ingrid filled with surprise: "How could you be so whimsical?"

However, everyone was just chatting casually. Who can't fantasize? As long as we don't take it seriously, it's fine.

The ladies quickly forgot about honeysuckle's words as a joke and moved on to other topics.

It's also possible that Ms. Ingrid was just joking with them. After all, she couldn't really kidnap a divine being from the East, could she?

The ladies' tea party went on very late, and even when Suri got tired of watching the live stream and came back to her senses, they were still chatting.

"It's already dark outside, are you still going to keep talking to them? And aren't you hungry?"

Honeysuckle wasn't very hungry at first, but after hearing what Su Rui said, she felt that she needed to eat something.

So, Honeysuckle clapped her hands lightly, interrupting the others' conversation, and then smiled and said:

"It's dinner time, let's grab something to eat. That's all for today, I'll let you know if anything comes up."

Afterwards, the party ended, and Honeysuckle stood up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen.

"The apartments in this big mansion even have separate kitchens... I thought you all ate in the dining room."

“That only happens during celebratory feasts. Most of the time, family members cook for themselves. Of course, the restaurant also provides food, but the Syracuse people themselves are very enthusiastic about cooking.”

As she spoke, Honeysuckle took out a kitchen knife and began cutting the ingredients to prepare for dinner:

Would you like me to prepare dinner for you? I'm a pretty good cook.

"You know the answer already, don't you? Then make an extra portion. After you eat it, I might be able to taste the part you can't finish."

Su Rui rolled his eyes in annoyance. Although he didn't have a physical form and couldn't see Su Rui's expression, he could tell from Su Rui's tone that Su Rui was very impatient.

Like teasing a small animal, it will show impatience because of the movement of your fingers and grab your fingers, but because of the relationship between the two of you, it will not actually bite you. This kind of fun is really nice.

Honeysuckle suddenly understood why some people keep small pets like hamsters.

After dinner, Ren Dong sat on the edge of the bed with a glass of water in her hand, intending to read for a while before going to sleep, when she heard Su Rui's voice:

Do you want ice water?

"Hmm? This is a glass of water." Honeysuckle didn't understand why Suri suddenly asked this, and answered somewhat confusedly, then heard Suri's assertive voice, as if refuting heresy:

"Ice water is bad for your health. Do you have a water heater here? It's best to boil the water before drinking it."

Why do we need to boil the water?

"This way, all the bacteria and microorganisms in the water will be killed, making it harmless to the human body."

"This water won't have any effect on my health, but thank you anyway."

Honeysuckle couldn't help but smile, nodded, then took a sip of water and set the glass aside.

"Furthermore, people in Syracuse generally don't drink hot water; we usually drink alcohol, and it's very clean."

"You can't let your kids drink alcohol, can you? It's bad for their health."

"Of course not, children can drink water."

“…” Suri seemed to realize that the two of them were having a meaningless conversation, and paused for a moment:

"Alright, you should get some rest. I think we have things to do tomorrow, otherwise you might not be able to get a good night's sleep."

'You already know what's going to happen tomorrow?'

Honeysuckle was a little curious. Since Suri already had many special and useful abilities, then predicting the future didn't seem so surprising.

“Of course not.” Suri rolled his eyes. “I just noticed that someone rushed back to this mansion in Venice. It seems like it’s not a small matter. Of course, it might just be a big deal for that guy.”

'I see.'

Honeysuckle nodded and then closed her eyes. This was commonplace in Syracuse and wouldn't affect her sleep quality.

However, before falling asleep, while her brain was still active, Ren Dong couldn't help but think of the girl named Eureka that she had seen in the live stream before, and subconsciously compared herself to her.

While the girl named Eureka is energetic and cute, Honeysuckle's other style—a capable older sister look—is also very attractive.

In terms of physique, the two seem to be about the same, but Ren Dong feels that she should have a slight edge, and both she and Suri are volpes.

In other words, Suri was probably only curious about the girl named Eureka, and the advantage lay entirely with Honeysuckle.

A slight smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. Just before falling asleep, Honeysuckle suddenly thought:

Does Suri know that his race is a race of the gods of Volper?

Volume 1: Chapter 11 Cheating Discovered

The question that had been on her mind before going to sleep last night kept bothering Ren Dong, and even when she woke up the next day, it was the first thing that came to her mind.
