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

"Since 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 Mel go. As for how to fulfill the promise, it's not my responsibility to do so. Let Mom worry about it herself~"

That's what Suri said.

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

Saria couldn't help but find Suri's words 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."

Suri wasn't worried about this. First of all, the Doctor would definitely want more operators under his command, and Mel'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. Suri 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 higher-level 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.

Suri's idea was easy to understand, but Saria noticed its flaw. Glancing at the system's materialization progress in the corner of her vision, Saria thought that once the Mansfield prison matter was resolved and they arrived at Rhodes Island, Suri should be able to materialize.

Judging from Suri'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 Suri over this.

Despite driving through the night, Saria had already covered half the distance by the next morning, partly due to Suri 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 her 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, relying on Vayvan and the strong physique she had developed herself to stay up for many days in a row while conducting research.

Suri also found this information and marveled at it: "He stayed up for three days straight without sleeping, relying on coffee and sandwiches. I have to say, Vayvan's body is really amazing."

“This is normal for Vayvan.”

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

Then she heard Suri's demand: "In that case, you'd better stop the car quickly, or I'll just stop your car and not let you move for three days."

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

Saria was taken aback, not understanding why Suri was 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 brought the kitchenware that Suri had prepared to make a simple breakfast, Saria, lying in her driver's seat, didn't fall asleep immediately, but instead started chatting with Suri:

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

If Suri could interfere with matter, he could prepare breakfast directly, just like he said about parking the car.

"...You've 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 driving it forward are done by mechanical structures.

Suri really couldn't stop using electronic signals.

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

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

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

"Suri, 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 directly."

Ifrit was slightly embarrassed by Suri's words, then cautiously stood up and glanced in the direction of the off-road vehicle. 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 stood smugly with her hands on her hips, urging Suri, "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?"

Suri 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 Suri 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!"

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

"Really? Then can I call you Eve?"

“Of course, no problem. That’s what Miu Miu calls me too.” Evelyn nodded.

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

"Huh?" Ifrit was stunned, speechless. Then the little girl looked at 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 Himer 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, Suri couldn't help but comfort her, while also reminding her, "Breakfast is ready. Turn off the fire quickly, or you'll get a spanking for playing with fire."

"I know~"

Ifrit nodded. By this time, Suri 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. Suri 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 Suri.

Suri said with some helplessness, "I originally planned to let you rest for another morning."

"This rest time is not important to me. The most important thing now is to get to the next city as soon as possible and then get to Mansfield."

Seria drove, and also comforted Suri, saying, "Okay, I'll get some rest when we get to Mansfield."

“Yes, after all, you can’t move around as freely in Mansfield.”

Suri 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 has said so, staying up late occasionally is indeed not a problem for her.

Under Suri's guidance, they encountered no danger along the way. Saria even had a manager check on Hamer and the others through Suri's scanning vision.

Himer and her companions are just getting ready to set off; they haven't even left the mobile city of Tremont yet.

After another day of driving, Seraya finally arrived at the mobile city where Trimont was about to stop in the evening.

It will take about a full day to get to Mansfield.

Suri 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.”

"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 needed was stored in Su Rui's system space... Oh, and they also needed 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,” Evelyn nodded, her eyes sparkling. “I just saw there’s a buffet downstairs. Saria, aren’t you going to eat there?”

"I don't need to. Let Suri take you. Just remember not to lose your phone."

As Saria spoke, she 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 will be absolutely no problem."

Suri confidently assured him that Saria could maintain telepathy with him, and that her scanning range could directly cover the entire mobile city and even more.

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

After chatting with Saria, Ifrit hummed a little tune, put on the coat that Suri had taken out of the system space, and walked 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, since Himeru and the others probably wouldn't let Ifrit eat unhealthy things normally.

Eating it occasionally shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, Suri didn't forget to pull out a pair of earphones from some system space and have Ifrit wear one of them, 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, Hamer and I would be questioned by several people every step we took," Ifrit muttered resentfully.

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

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

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

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

Ifrit's eyes widened in surprise: "Mimi! What are you doing here?"

"Of course, it's because I heard about Eve being taken away by Saria, so I wanted to come and 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."

Suri's annoyed voice came from Ifrit's phone. Since Muirsey was here, she must have already spotted Suri:

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

Unless the security personnel can remember everyone's face.

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

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

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

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

Suri, 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 Eve's safety."

Muirses immediately put on a wronged expression, then looked around and asked, "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 that Saria found must have been provided by you, Suri, right? You're amazing! Can you help me out a bit too?"

"If I have time, of course, provided that the internet usually allows us to stay in touch."
