Since the system became my girlfriend

After Simige had eaten and drunk her fill, her health gradually increased again, and Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"How do I upgrade this little thing?" Su Rui frowned; he didn't remember seeing any related information on the official website.

"The official website just updated! It seems like you can just do quests and grind monsters." Feng Lixi said from the side. This time it really wasn't her doing anything; the official website updated automatically after the pet system was released.

"I see..." Su Rui opened the official website page and browsed through it briefly. Regarding the pet's leveling up, it was indeed as Feng Lixi said. He just needed to level up with her, and she wouldn't share Su Rui's experience points, which Su Rui was quite satisfied with.

After all, it's one thing for a pet to be very expensive, but if it's devouring the valuable experience points needed for its owner to level up, then the game becomes unplayable.

Su Rui looked Ximige up and down. This little thing was quite strange when she was full. She would sit obediently on Su Rui's shoulder, not saying a word or causing any trouble. If Su Rui asked her a question, she would answer it, after all, she was still counting on Su Rui to buy her food.

"Where do we go next? To help her level up?" Feng Lixi was quite interested in this little thing; she would often tease the little elemental spirit on Su Rui's shoulder.

"Wait a minute, let me ask Hu Bowei where they are in the game." Su Rui then sent Hu Bowei a message: "Where are you guys in? When will it end?"

Two seconds later, Hu Bowei's message came back.

"Hey! Don't even mention it. We wiped four times, and everyone lost a lot of experience before we all gave up..." Hu Bo sighed. Although the dungeon records the first boss kill, players cannot restart the same dungeon before it refreshes.

However, players who repeatedly wipe and see no hope of clearing the dungeon will still choose to give up. After all, the purpose of running dungeons is to gain experience and equipment. If they can't defeat the boss, they won't get any experience, let alone equipment. Instead, they will lose experience due to death, which is unacceptable for players in the early stages of the game.

So after being wiped out four times, Hu Bowei's team disbanded.

"So, are you still going to fight?" Su Rui asked.

"Forget it, let's not waste time and experience. I'll hitch a ride with you tomorrow. Let's do the mission first." Hu Bo unceremoniously reserved Su Rui's parking spot for tomorrow's dungeon.

"By the way, what's your profession?" Su Rui suddenly asked. Since their last phone call, the two hadn't communicated much, so Su Rui didn't know what profession he had changed to.

"Of course I play as a rogue, and so do you," Hu Bowei retorted. When he and Su Rui worked in the same studio, they both played the rogue class. After all, this class is flexible, has more room for maneuver, and is more conducive to their performance.

“Hey… I really am not…” Su Rui smiled and then said to Hu Bowei, “Alright then, I’ll take you tomorrow, since there’s no equipment conflict between us anyway.”

“I knew you wouldn’t abandon me. Do you have a team? I’ll team up with you!” Hu Bo said with a smile.

“I’ll team up with you, I already have a team,” Su Rui said.

“I understand! You brought your beautiful girl, right? But you’ll have to give me the team leader later, I need to form a team for others,” Hu Bowei said.

"Okay!" Su Rui replied, and then sent a team invitation.

"Ding! Weiwei Melodious Music has joined your team!"

With a system notification, Su Rui's team gained a new member, and Su Rui then transferred the team leader position to Hu Bowei.

"Ding! The musty fairy has joined the team!"

"Ding! The bald little girl has joined the team!"

After Hu Bo added the other two players to the team, he returned the team leader position to Su Rui.

"Hey! It's me... Bro, your name is pretty funny!" After the bald little girl joined the team, she started teasing Su Rui's name in the team voice chat, but he didn't seem to realize that he was a grown man and had no right to criticize others with such a name.

"Why does this name sound so familiar?" The girl with the musty smell was actually a girl, and her voice was quite nice.

"He's been on TV twice already, how could I not recognize his name!" Hu Bowei said proudly from the side. Su Rui was his brother, and his talent made him proud too.

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember now, the one with the property, right!" the musty-smelling fairy exclaimed.

"Hehe, let's meet up first." Su Rui didn't pick up on the real estate topic, but instead gathered everyone together.

In the central square of Xuanwu City, the five members of the team were finally together.

"Wow! Sister, you're so beautiful!" The fairy with a musty smell was stunned when she saw Feng Lixi. As a girl, especially a beautiful girl, the fairy with a musty smell rarely had such an experience.

"..." Feng Lixi just smiled slightly. To be honest, she didn't have much interest in anyone except Su Rui.

"Hey bro! Are you guys in your mercenary group? Can you take me with you?" The bald little girl was very outgoing. Because Su Rui and Feng Lixi's mercenary group names were displayed, she immediately saw the name "Xi Rui Mercenary Group" above Su Rui and Feng Lixi's heads.

"Uh..." Su Rui stared blankly at the fat man in front of him, who was about the same height as him, around 1.8 meters, but weighed almost twice as much as him, conservatively estimated to be around 250 kilograms.

To be honest, the bald little girl isn't bad-looking. She has a rather cheerful appearance and is fair-skinned. But as the saying goes, being overweight ruins everything. It's just that she has a good foundation. Although this chubby boy weighs over 200 pounds, at least he doesn't look unpleasant.

"Can I come with you?" the bald little girl said with a sheepish grin as she approached Su Rui.

"Tch! Why should I bring you along!" Before Su Rui could speak, Hu Bowei leaned over.

"Don't..." Su Rui was afraid that Hu Bowei would offend people for no reason, so he tried to persuade him to stop, but before he could finish speaking, Hu Bowei said: "Even if you're hiring, you have to hire me first!"

“We’ve been brothers for so long, now that you have a mercenary group, shouldn’t you pull me in?” Hu Bo said without any politeness.

"Then take me with you!" The slightly musty fairy next to her also came over.

Which of the three people present was stupid? They all knew that Su Rui owned property and now he also had a mercenary group. They believed that it wouldn't be long before his mercenary group would be upgraded to level two. If they could join, they would be able to take on better missions, which would be very beneficial for leveling up and acquiring equipment!
