Since the system became my girlfriend

"Holy crap! How did I get teleported here..." Su Rui was startled, and then quickly gathered the corpse guards and those vicious dogs around him to prevent them from attracting monsters.

Because the area north of Xuanwu City is a region with monsters of level 20 and above, if he attracts monsters here, even if Su Rui brings a pack of vicious dogs, he still can't defeat any monster of level 20 or above. The damage from level-based crushing is terrifying!

After gathering his underlings around him, Su Rui didn't dare use the teleportation scroll again. This thing teleports randomly. Although Boss Su was in the north of the city, he wasn't far from Xuanwu City. As long as he was careful, he could return to the vicinity of the city wall and then walk along the wall back to the west side of Xuanwu City, which was the area where the current players were active.

Once they reach the west side of the city, Su Rui will be free to do as he pleases. With his group of underlings, his leveling speed will be incredibly fast!

After thinking about this, Su Rui began to lead a group of his underlings cautiously toward the main road, since there were no monsters near the main road.

Soon, Su Rui led his underlings to the vicinity of the main road. Although he lured monsters a few times during the process, each time he had one or two vicious dogs lure the monsters away in the opposite direction. After the one or two vicious dogs were killed by the monsters, they also distanced themselves from Su Rui.

Since the monsters in the wild don't have a particularly large aggro range, even though they gained Su Rui's aggro after creating some distance, they wouldn't chase him to death and would quickly reset.

Using the vicious dogs to distract the monsters, Su Rui quickly returned to the main road and headed towards Xuanwu City.

About twenty minutes later, Su Rui reached the vicinity of the city wall. Because the monsters here were too high-level, the players would definitely not come over now, so no one noticed that Su Rui was with a group of followers.

Near the city gate, Su Rui carefully avoided the guards. Su Rui could manage with a pack of vicious dogs, but Scout Hubert was currently in an undead state. If Su Rui brought such a guy along, the guards would definitely watch him to death, so he had to keep a low profile.

After bypassing the guards, Su Rui led his men along the city wall toward the west gate. Although they encountered several monsters of slightly higher level along the way, Su Rui managed to return to the vicinity of the west gate by using vicious dogs to distract them.

Without getting too close to the city gate, after discovering that the monsters' levels had decreased, Su Rui led his men directly into the hilly area west of the city. At this moment, a green dot on the minimap rapidly approached, and Su Rui knew that it was Feng Lixi from his team coming over.

"Brother Rui, are you alright?" Feng Lixi asked.

"Although it was a bit of a detour, we finally got this guy out of the dungeon!" Su Rui laughed. As long as he could get Hubert out, spending an hour or two was worth it!

"Let's go level up!" Feng Lixi said with a smile.

"Let's go! Let's enjoy the scenery and chat today, and then just wait to reap the experience points!" Su Rui said with a smile. With such a large group of followers, he could level up all by himself. Hubert and the vicious dogs were obviously just free laborers working for Su Rui.

Although both involve leveling up with a pet, Su Rui, the dark magic wizard, is completely different from the hunter. A hunter's pet is more like a partner. It not only needs to eat, but also has attributes such as health and mood. If it is not taken good care of, it may even run away!

But the corpse guards summoned by Su Rui are more like slaves. You don't need to care whether they live or die. As long as they have a breath left, they can only obediently follow orders.

Soon, the players leveling up in the west of the city noticed a strange sight: Su Rui and Feng Lixi, who were both considered handsome and beautiful (other players: she was definitely beautiful, but as for being handsome, that's debatable...), were chasing and playing around like a couple on a spring outing, not at all like they were leveling up.

But the seven vicious dogs and the corpse guard wielding a longsword—these eight henchmen worked very hard. Wherever they went, almost nothing grew. All monsters, regardless of race or level, were slaughtered by them.

"Wow! What kind of job is this? How do you take care of so many babies?"

"That pet looks familiar! Isn't that the number one boss from 'The Hidden Mansion'?"

"Really?! You can catch this thing?"

"What does that kid do? That's awesome!"

……

Many players murmured enviously.

If that were all, other players would at most be envious. But the problem is that these minions, when left unattended, will frantically steal monsters. No matter what class other players are or how high their damage is, they can't kill monsters as quickly as Su Rui. So their damage is definitely no match for the bites of a pack of vicious dogs.

So wherever Su Rui and Feng Lixi went, the other players stared dumbfounded at the fallen monster corpses. They were leveling up peacefully, but now they had no choice but to wait for the monsters to respawn.

"Damn it! Are you locusts?! Do you have to rob us so thoroughly?"

"Yeah, you can't fight for monsters like this, can you?"

"Holy crap! Kid, you're tired of living, aren't you? Daring to steal my monster!?"

……

Wherever Su Rui and Feng Lixi went, they were met with a chorus of curses. But despite the curses, none of the players dared to make a move. After all, the intimidating presence of these vicious dogs was undeniable. If an ordinary player went up, they would probably be torn to pieces by the dogs before they could even touch Su Rui.

Su Rui and Feng Lixi were like locusts passing through, leaving nothing but monster corpses on the ground. In the end, Su Rui was too lazy to even pick up the monster corpses one by one. He would only go to the small monsters that dropped equipment. He simply didn't want the remaining money and low-level materials.

As they headed west, Su Rui and his group passed through increasingly higher-level monster zones, and the number of players on both sides decreased. Consequently, the curses they heard gradually disappeared.

Finally, Su Rui and his group arrived at a monster zone with level 15 monsters. These monsters were not level enough to overwhelm Su Rui and his group, and because they were relatively high level, there were few players leveling up here, so it was unlikely that there would be any more monster-stealing.

Although Su Rui was doing well at this point, with equipment far surpassing that of other players, it was still only the early stages of the game, and it wasn't good to offend too many people for no reason.

"Come on, let's grind monsters!" Su Rui pulled Feng Lixi to sit on a small mound. He left the Corpse Guardian by his side and only sent out seven vicious dogs to grind monsters. Once the vicious dogs' health was almost depleted, he would have the Corpse Guardian summon another wave to replace the vicious dogs that were already low on health.
