Since the system became my girlfriend

"Hehe, killing you guys is much more profitable than killing monsters!" Su Rui sneered deliberately. He knew that these guys hadn't released their souls, so they could hear what he was saying.

However, although these guys could hear what Su Rui was saying, they couldn't talk back, because after a player dies, they can no longer "speak" in the current channel; they can only speak in the squad voice chat or the mercenary group channel.

"Big brother, what should we do?" one of the henchmen asked.

"Sigh!" The eldest brother sighed, then said nothing and directly released his soul to resurrect in the nearby cemetery.

Now that things have come to this, the leader has nothing more to say. The other party is too strong. Even if they joined forces, they were no match for them. Another attempt would probably be futile, so temporarily stopping is the best way to cut their losses.

The boss could stop and cut his losses, but Mo Lihai wouldn't allow it. He had lost his only blue two-handed axe, which was his treasure. With this two-handed axe, his leveling speed would increase by at least 20%. If he were to exchange it for an ordinary green weapon or even a white weapon, his monster-killing efficiency would be greatly reduced.

"Boss, we can't just let this go! Each of us lost 20% of our experience, and it'll take a day or two to make up for it. Plus, we lost a lot of equipment!" Mo Lihai said in the team voice chat.

"So what do you want to do? Try again, and die again? We just ambushed him when we were at our peak and we still couldn't beat him. Now we've lost experience and equipment. Going to him again is just asking for trouble, isn't it?" the leader asked, frowning.

“Of course, the few of us can’t do it, but boss, don’t forget, this kid has two sacred artifacts on him. If we spread the word, I don’t believe anyone who’s after him won’t come!” Mo Lihai said.

Although it's equipment from the early stages of the game, relic-level equipment is still very tempting. Moreover, the game isn't reality; there are no laws in the game, so the dark side of human nature is amplified infinitely.

A polite person in real life might be a ruthless PvP maniac in the game! And given the value of the two relics, there are definitely many players willing to take a gamble for them!

"What you said makes sense!" The leader frowned and nodded. He really couldn't swallow his anger if he just let it go like this. Although the other party seemed to be a very powerful character, their Fengshen Guild was also quite well-known in the local circle.

Because the leader and his group were all fans of the classic mythological novel Investiture of the Gods, almost all of their game character names came from this novel, and the leader's name was Wen Zhong.

"Boss, just tell me if you're going to do it or not?" Mo Lihai said in the team voice chat.

"Let's do it! Boss, we can't let this loss go to waste!" The others chimed in. Although their guild wasn't very large, its members were all people who knew each other well in real life, and some were even related by marriage, so their unity was beyond question.

"Alright! Everyone, revive quickly, then keep an eye on these two guys. Mo Lihai, go find someone!" The leader nodded and made up his mind.

Although bringing in outsiders would reduce the rewards for killing Su Rui and Feng Lixi, if they didn't find anyone, they wouldn't be a match for Su Rui at all, and they wouldn't get any benefit at all.

So after weighing the pros and cons, the leader recalled the third brother and others who were waiting at the destination, and then sent Mo Lihai to gather other players who were eyeing Su Rui's sacred object.

After dealing with the players who were besieging him, Su Rui collected all the equipment they dropped. This equipment could be sold for some money, especially a few blue items, which were still quite sought after at this stage.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Su Rui continued to fight the gnolls. These people were obviously not members of a major guild, so he didn't need to avoid them.

About half an hour later, Su Rui had finished killing the five hundred gnolls he needed. Then he and Feng Lixi continued westward to their next mission location.

"Boss, they're leaving. Have you assembled your team yet?" Mo Liqing, who was in charge of monitoring, asked in the team voice chat.

"Almost there! Almost there! Let's get a few more people together, just to be on the safe side!" The leader was even more cautious this time.

"Hmm! Bring a few healers and ranged attackers, that kid's damage is a bit scary!" Mo Liqing said in the team chat.

"I know, Mo Lihai brought in six people this time, plus the five from Lao San and his group. I don't believe that eighteen people can't take down these two guys!" The eldest brother was ruthless this time. In order to kill Su Rui, he no longer cared about how much money he would get in the end.

"That's settled!" Mo Liqing nodded, and then followed Su Rui and the others to the monster area where the Hill Gray Wolves were located.

As Su Rui began to fight monsters, Feng Lixi frowned slightly. She had clearly sensed the players' intentions from their conversation, and she hesitated.

According to Feng Lixi's calculations, although Su Rui is very strong and has a great equipment advantage, his chances of winning against eighteen people are still very low.

Don't be fooled by how easily Boss Su took down the seven players who ambushed him. That was mainly because those players didn't know that Su Rui had a counter-damage skill, so they just kept attacking him and ended up with their own low health.

But once they get back and check their battle logs, they'll soon find out that they were killed by their own counterattack. So when they come back for a comeback, they'll definitely be wary of Su Rui's counterattack skill.

Moreover, the previous players' classes were too homogeneous, consisting only of warriors and rogues, all melee fighters. When they were hit by the Prism Field, the reflected damage would be devastating, leaving them all with low health instantly. However, this time they brought ranged fighters, whose positions were relatively spread out. Therefore, even if Su Rui activated the Prism Field, it was unlikely to achieve the same effect as before.

The presence of healing classes further increases the difficulty of Su Rui's battles. Although Su Rui has a lot of health, his defense is not high. Once the opponent survives the two skills of Su Rui's Ornament, Su Rui will soon be ganged up on and killed.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Lixi, not wanting to expose herself, said to Su Rui, "Brother Rui, let's go back to the city first."

"Return to the city? The mission isn't finished yet!" Su Rui asked in confusion.

“I don’t think those guys will let it go so easily; they’ll definitely come looking for trouble again!” Feng Lixi said.

"Tch! What's there to be afraid of? I'm a professional gamer. Crushing this bunch of rabble is a piece of cake for me!" Su Rui was clearly getting excited again. As a girl-carrying maniac, how could he back down in front of girls?
