Since the system became my girlfriend

"So what are we going to do next?" Feng Lixi asked.

“Just take on a few quests and grind monsters to level up!” Su Rui said. As a professional player, Su Rui knew very well that high-level quests were not as easy as cabbages on the roadside. He was already blessed by the heavens to be able to get so many (Feng Lixi: Are you sure it’s the heavens that are blessing you? It’s clearly me, okay!). No one can level up by relying entirely on these high-level quests.

“Okay! That works!” Feng Lixi nodded. Although she wanted to help Su Rui gain an advantage in the early stages, she couldn’t go too far, otherwise it would draw the development team’s attention to Su Rui.

The two then went to the quest board, where Su Rui used his special mercenary privileges to ask the female NPC for a bounty quest with a slightly higher reward.

While Su Rui was selecting a mission, several players were gathered together in a corner of the Mercenary Guild, discussing something.

"See that kid? He's the one!"

"They actually got two sacred artifacts! What a fat sheep!"

"Have the third brother and his group made the necessary contact?"

"Don't worry, everything's been arranged. We just need to wait for the kid to leave the city."

"Don't rush into action. Wait until he's far enough away from Xuanwu City before making a move. Otherwise, he'll just revive in the city after dying once, and if he doesn't drop any equipment, all our efforts will be for nothing!"

"Second Brother, do you need to tell me that? We understand everything. Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Fifth Brother and the others are already waiting at the Hill Cemetery. After this kid is killed, they'll guard his body there. If he knows what's good for him, he'll hand over his equipment. If he doesn't, we'll kill him back to the newbie village. I don't believe that after dying so many times, those two sacred artifacts still won't drop!"

……

It's obvious that these players have their eyes on Su Rui. As the saying goes, you shouldn't flaunt your wealth. Just now, golden and colorful lights were flashing around Su Rui, so anyone would know that he has a lot of good stuff on him!

Rainbow equipment is usually bound, cannot be traded, and will not be dropped upon death. So although it is precious, it does not attract evil intentions. However, sacred objects are different. These things can be dropped, so they will naturally attract the attention of bad guys.

Although the two sacred artifacts on Su Rui's body had been combined into a seven-colored equipment, those watching from the sidelines were unaware of this. The combination process was only visible to Su Rui and his teammates; others could only see the shimmering light of the high-level equipment.

Therefore, from an outsider's perspective, Su Rui obtained two golden relics and a seven-colored growth equipment.

At this moment, Boss Su was focused on selecting tasks, completely unaware that he had become a fat sheep to be slaughtered in the eyes of others.

But Boss Su wasn't fighting alone; he had a cute girl by his side. And Feng Lixi wasn't just any cute girl; this queen was the system goddess. Those guys who were eyeing Su Rui's equipment thought they could talk in the team voice chat without anyone knowing, but they couldn't escape Feng Lixi's surveillance.

However, Feng Lixi didn't even turn around to look at these guys. She just turned her back to the players and sneered, then pretended that nothing had happened and continued to choose tasks with Su Rui.

Soon, Su Rui accepted three bounty missions. One of them was to farm quest items, while the other two were simply to kill monsters, and in very large numbers. One mission required killing five hundred gnolls, and the other required killing five hundred hill wolves.

After accepting the mission, Su Rui and his companion left the city.

After leaving the city through the west gate, Su Rui and his companion headed straight for the low hills, which were the gnoll territory. After killing enough gnolls, they would walk a little further and reach the territory of the hill wolves.

As a professional gamer, Su Rui has a knack for planning quest routes, and this efficient leveling route can save them a lot of time.

After arriving at the low hills, Su Rui started grinding monsters; five hundred gnolls would keep him busy for a while.

Equipped with the Whipper Susas's Ornament, Su Rui's damage output was even more explosive. A single Shadow Bolt could take away nearly 600 health points from these level 12 or 13 gnolls, who only had a little over 1,000 health points in total. Therefore, Su Rui didn't even need to summon Corpse Guardians; he could kill the mobs before they could even touch him with just two Shadow Bolts.

"It's so satisfying to grind monsters like this!" Su Rui said with a smile while casting Shadow Bolt. Although grinding monsters of the same level in a party only gives fourteen or fifteen experience points, Su Rui's efficiency of taking down a monster in four or five seconds is enough to leave other players far behind in the leveling process.

Including the time spent running around and finding monsters, Su Rui can kill about ten gnolls per minute on average, and he can take down five hundred gnolls in about an hour!

As Su Rui began to fight monsters, several thieves who had been keeping watch quietly arrived at the low hills.

"This kid's spell damage is pretty high..." a rogue remarked, watching Su Rui grind monsters from afar.

"Nonsense, two sacred artifacts, one of them seven-colored, anyone could kill monsters instantly!" Another thief next to him rolled his eyes.

“Yeah, that kid’s a walking treasure trove! If we take him down, we’ll be rolling in it!” said the third thief.

"Hehe, that's right. Big Brother has already arranged sales channels for us. As long as we can get this kid's equipment, each artifact is worth at least five thousand yuan, enough for us brothers to go out and have some fun for a few days!" The first thief to speak said with a smile.

"Really? It can sell for that much money?"

"This is a sacred relic! If the game hadn't just launched, sacred relic items could sell for tens of thousands of coins later on!"

"That's great. After I get the money, I'll definitely go find Xiao Cui and throw the bills at her. Let's see if that woman still dares to look down on me."

"She's just a skilled woman, why are you so concerned?"

"Hmph! Today I'm going to make her scream under me!"

……

"Alright, let's talk about this after we get the money. Has the third brother's men arrived yet?" The eldest brother, who had been silent all along, asked in a low voice. If these disgraceful bastards weren't his cousins, he really wouldn't want to lead such a bunch of trash.

"Let me ask!" The thief next to him sent a message to the third brother, then said to the eldest brother, "Third brother and the others are in position!"

"Okay!" The leader nodded, then said to one of the rogues next to him, "The target's damage is a bit high, so we have to take care of her first. So, control that priest for a bit and don't let her cause any trouble. Deal with her after we kill the target."

"Don't worry, brother, leave that girl to me. I'll make her wish she were dead!" the thief leered.
