Since the system became my girlfriend

After delivering two more hits and pulling the two small monsters attacking Feng Lixi onto himself, Su Rui's health was almost depleted.

Prism field!

If Su Rui didn't use his skills at this point, he would probably be killed. Although Feng Lixi could heal him, the problem was that she was only a level 12 priest, and her healing couldn't keep up with the speed at which these vicious dogs were biting!

After all, Su Rui wasn't a warrior; he didn't have that much defense. Although his high health allowed him to withstand the attacks of the mobs for a while, it put a lot of pressure on the healers.

With the prism field activated, Su Rui entered an invincible state. At the same time, the attacks of those vicious dogs against him began to cause damage to themselves. In addition, due to the effect of refraction, the harder the vicious dogs bit, the more blood they lost!

Moreover, these vicious dogs are just low-intelligence monsters. They won't stop attacking just because Su Rui uses his skill and wait for it to wear off before continuing their attack. Even though they are being infinitely damaged by the counterattack, they still attack relentlessly. Meanwhile, Feng Lixi used this time to fully restore Su Rui's health.

Taking advantage of his invincibility, Su Rui also attacked these vicious dogs. He kept switching targets so as not to waste the dogs' attacks. Although the Prism Field only lasted for three seconds, the dogs were almost equivalent to taking four times the damage of his own attacks. So, those three seconds were enough for them to bite him to the point of being critically injured.

Combined with Su Rui's mixed-damage attack, by the time the Prism Field ended, only two of the seven vicious dogs that had been attacking him remained.

After delivering two more blows, Su Rui killed the two vicious dogs. But by then, the rare elite Hubert in front had already killed Su Rui's corpse guard. After all, Feng Lixi had been busy healing him and hadn't had time to deal with the corpse guard.

However, this didn't matter to Su Rui anymore, because Hubert's health was only about a quarter left. Su Rui rushed forward, cast a Corruption spell on Hubert, and then began close-quarters combat.

Although he was wearing cloth armor and had relatively low defense, Su Rui was not afraid to fight this rare elite in terms of damage because he had Feng Lixi healing him from behind.

With Su Rui's final strike, Hubert's health was depleted!

"This...this is impossible..." Hubert collapsed with a voice full of resentment, his body gleaming as he lay there, clearly having dropped something.

"Brother Rui, look what he dropped?" Feng Lixi said to Su Rui with a smile.

“Okay!” Su Rui took two steps forward and then began searching the body.

"Ding! You have obtained the general skill book - Scouting!"

With a system notification, a skill book appeared in Su Rui's backpack.

Reconnaissance (Skill Book, Green Excellent Quality)

Use: Grants you the skill - Scouting!

Scout (Instant): Scout the target to obtain more information! When cast on a player, you can see their level, health, and mana, equipment below Artifact level, race, faction, guild, etc. When cast on a non-player target, you can see their level, health, and mana, potential loot, and see through low-level camouflage effects (ineffective against bosses and above).

"Wow! This is like eating ice and seeing hail!" Su Rui's eyes lit up. He had just been complaining about not having any reconnaissance skills, and now the heavens had given him one! (Feng Lixi: You heartless bastard, what does this have to do with the heavens? This is from your grandma, okay?)

"Brother Rui, what good thing did he drop? Why are you so happy?" Feng Lixi asked knowingly.

"Hehe! This is amazing! A skill book actually dropped, and it's even a reconnaissance skill book. This thing is so useful!" Su Rui said with a smile.

"Brother Rui, hurry up and learn it!" Feng Lixi urged. Once Su Rui learns this reconnaissance skill, it will be much easier for her to give him hints in the future.

"We learned this together, it wouldn't be good for me to learn it by myself..." Su Rui said hypocritically, but in fact he was already preparing to use the skill book.

"It's okay, we play games together anyway, and you're better at it! You'll benefit even more from learning!" Feng Lixi said to Su Rui against her will, while secretly despising this hypocritical man.

"Then I won't be polite!" Su Rui said as he used the skill book.

As a green light entered Su Rui's body, the skill book disappeared, and a new skill appeared in Su Rui's skill list—Reconnaissance!

This reconnaissance skill is instantaneous, has no cooldown, and consumes no resources, making it a very good reconnaissance skill. Although it's only green quality, it's more than enough for the early game. While it can't detect bosses of the boss level or higher, or check players' equipment of the artifact level or higher, Su Rui wouldn't dare to provoke bosses of the boss level in the early game. As for artifacts, are those things easy to obtain?

So while the level of this Scouting skill isn't particularly high, it's sufficient for the early game. After all, it's just something dropped by a rare elite; you can't expect it to drop a legendary skill book, can you?

"Resurrection!" After learning the skill, Su Rui didn't let Hubert off the hook. Before the corpse disappeared, he used Resurrection to pull Hubert up and make him Su Rui's corpse guard.

"Wow! That's amazing!" After Su Rui pulled Hubert up, he found that the guy had also given him a surprise, because after being resurrected, he actually brought out Hubert's dog-calling skill as well!

"Close the door! Unleash the dogs!" Su Rui immediately ordered the corpse guards to use this skill!

"Woof woof woof..." Seven vicious dogs rushed out from the side. These dogs all had green names, obviously the helpers called out by the corpse guard.

"Awesome! You've teamed up to grind monsters!" Su Rui said with a smile.

“Let’s keep going!” Feng Lixi said from the side.

"Okay!" Su Rui nodded. Now he had upgraded his equipment. Originally, it was the monsters ganging up on them, but now he was leading the corpse guards and a pack of vicious dogs to gang up on the monsters.

Although those vicious dogs were summoned by the Corpse Guardians, their attributes did not seem to decrease; in fact, they increased, making their attack damage higher and their monster-clearing speed faster.

With the help of a pack of vicious dogs, Su Rui practically swept through the entire third floor, ransacking every room and clearing out all the monsters!

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'I Am Me' for reaching level 13! You have gained ten attribute points, five of which have been evenly distributed among your various attributes!"

With a flash of golden light, Su Rui finally leveled up!
