Since the system became my girlfriend

Upon reaching the top of the platform, Su Rui saw Hu Bowei talking to the NPCs.

"I need to call for reinforcements from Xuanwu City. You guys help me hold them off!" Sergeant Brian said to Hu Bowei.

"Okay!" Hu Bowei agreed, then turned to Su Rui and said, "The mission is about to begin. Our task is to hold off those troll monsters and prevent them from charging up."

"Hmm! Is there anything I should be careful about?" Su Rui asked.

"Everything else is fine, but there are just too many monsters..." Hu Bowei said.

"Okay! I understand!" Su Rui nodded.

"By the way, if we can't hold out any longer, don't try to fight it out. Retreat to the platform and jump here. The monsters won't attack us then. Once they've killed all these NPCs, the quest will fail. Then we can go back to where we met these NPCs before, wait for them to respawn, and then we can accept the quest again," Hu Bowei said to Su Rui.

“Since we can try it freely, then there’s no problem at all!” Su Rui said with a smile.

"It's starting!" Just then, the bald little girl pointed to the area below the platform and said.

Su Rui followed the bald little girl's hand and looked down from the platform. He saw that more than a hundred troll monsters had already surrounded the platform, and then the first wave of a dozen or so small monsters began to walk onto the platform.

"Let's try a quick attack first." Su Rui smiled and walked to the middle of the platform, then began to unleash Shadow Bolts.

-742!

Su Rui's Shadow Bolt hit a troll minion, instantly reducing its health by half.

"Spell damage this high?" The fairy with the musty smell exclaimed in surprise. She was a mage, a turret class known for its high damage, but even her fireball spell couldn't deal as much damage as Su Rui's, let alone ice arrow.

"It's alright..." Su Rui smiled. The reason why his spell damage was so high was not only because the Shadow Bolt itself had a decent damage bonus, but also because of his powerful equipment. Although he didn't win the lottery like Feng Lixi, Su Rui also had several pieces of growth equipment, so his attributes were naturally far superior to his teammates.

"I'll stay away for now. If I go in now, I'll just get instantly killed..." Hu Bowei greeted Su Rui. He was a rogue, and he could handle taking on a single monster, but charging into a group of monsters was pure suicide.

"Luckily, we have a priest in our team. Maybe we can actually make it through," the bald little girl laughed. Although she wasn't a proper tank, paladins could still equip heavy armor. So, even though she didn't have many defensive skills, tanks didn't have many defensive skills in the early stages of the game, so she could tank monsters as long as she wore heavy armor.

"Xiao Xi, heal him later." Su Rui said to Feng Lixi. He knew that this girl was a bit indifferent to others. If he didn't say anything, even if the bald little loli was beaten to death, she probably wouldn't heal her.

"Oh!" Feng Lixi agreed, then cast a shield on the bald little girl.

"I'm going!" The bald little girl saw that the first wave of monsters had already reached the platform, so she brandished her longsword and charged up. At this moment, Su Rui had already fired his second Shadow Bolt, and the troll monster that was already at half health was killed.

Seeing that Su Rui had already killed a small monster, the musty fairy next to him also began to cast spells. Although her spell damage was not as high as Su Rui's, it was still considered relatively high in the team. Three fireballs could also take down a small monster.

At this moment, the bald little girl also rushed to the front. Although she usually laughed and joked, her skills were quite good. Instead of blindly taking on monsters, she cleverly moved around and used the monsters' blocking to make herself only take attacks from two or three small monsters.

"Hey bald guy! Not bad positioning!" Su Rui said with a smile.

"That's right! I used to be the main tank of my guild in other games!" the bald little girl said proudly. Being the main tank of a guild is not something that just anyone can do. In addition to being able to attend games consistently, you also need to be highly skilled. Whether it's positioning or reaction speed, you have to be one of the best tank players to be able to take on that role.

Therefore, even the main tank of a small guild needs to be quite skilled.

"Then why don't you play tanks anymore?" Su Rui asked curiously.

"Who said I don't play? I'm planning to play a Knight Tank this time!" the bald little girl laughed.

"So unconventional?" Su Rui was taken aback. When it comes to tanks in a team, although many classes can play the role, the warrior class is obviously the most reliable and the most popular among mainstream players. Therefore, the main tank of a guild is usually a warrior, and it is rare for a niche class to become the main tank of a guild.

"You don't understand. Warriors are stable, but they're too mediocre. To stand out among a group of warrior tanks, you need pure skill. I'm too lazy to put in that much effort, but I still want to join a big guild, so I have to take an unconventional approach. Even if I'm not the main tank, I'll still be a main or off-tank!" the bald little girl said proudly.

“That’s true…” Su Rui nodded, agreeing with the bald little girl’s statement.

Warrior tanks are the most balanced type of tank, with all their abilities being well-rounded. So, to stand out, you need to rely on individual skill. And with so many players playing warrior tanks, it's extremely difficult to fight your way into the main raid group of a major guild.

Players like the bald little loli, who have skill but aren't top-tier, need to take an unconventional approach if they want to squeeze into the main raid group of a large guild. They need to play classes with obvious weaknesses but also obvious strengths. This way, they become indispensable during certain special boss battles. With this skill, they have the opportunity to infiltrate the main raid group of a large guild and become off-tanks, and then temporarily take over as main tanks to complete tasks during certain special boss battles.

……

While chatting, the group began to engage the monsters. The bald little girl blocked the monsters that rushed onto the platform and blocked their way to prevent them from advancing. Meanwhile, Su Rui and the filthy fairy took the opportunity to unleash their attacks, quickly taking down the monsters one by one.

After the bald little girl blocked all the monsters in front of her, Hu Bowei also began to act. He attacked the bald little girl whenever there was a gap in her position. Whenever a monster took advantage of the bald little girl's mistake in blocking, or when two monsters pushed forward at the same time and the bald little girl could only block one, he would go to fill in and control the situation, and then let Su Rui and the filthy fairy work together to kill it.

Feng Lixi stayed at the back to keep an eye on the bald little girl and Hu Bowei's health, making sure they weren't killed by the monsters.

With the cooperation of the five people, more than a dozen monsters were quickly killed.

"This healing item is really useful!" the bald little girl laughed. Although Su Rui's damage was high, the most valuable people in this battle were obviously the bald little girl who was tanking the monsters in front and Feng Lixi who was healing in the back.
