Since the system became my girlfriend

"Sigh!" Su Rui sighed. He didn't feel right or wrong about kicking out the bald little girl; he just felt it wasn't worth making such a fuss over such a trivial matter.

However, since it was Feng Lixi who kicked him, Su Rui didn't take it too seriously.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. I'll try to raise the rest of the money." Su Rui sighed in the mercenary group channel.

"Brother, what does this mean?" Just then, the bald little girl sent Su Rui a private message. They had all added Su Rui as a friend after joining the group.

"..." Su Rui really had nothing to say to the bald little girl, so he simply blocked her.

"What the heck?! What does this mean?! You blocked me?" After the bald little girl realized that Su Rui hadn't responded to her first message, she sent another one. When she found that the message had been sent, she immediately knew that he had blocked her.

"Fine! It's me, you win! We'll see!" The bald little girl spat fiercely. She knew she couldn't go back to this mercenary group, and she also harbored resentment towards Su Rui and Feng Lixi.

Just as Su Rui was pulling the black-haired little girl, his information list started flashing again.

"My brother, do you still remember me?" Su Rui glanced at the private message, which was signed "Tang Seng loves Pantene shampoo".

"Of course, what's up? You need something from me?" Su Rui asked with a smile. He remembered this player quite well, firstly because the player's game name was rather unusual, and secondly because this guy had helped him before. Su Rui valued those who had helped him.

"Brother, I've run into a quest that I can't complete after two attempts. That's when I remembered you. You were the first player to leave the newbie village and even made the announcement. You must be doing pretty well, right?" Tang Seng said.

"It's alright, what kind of mission is it?" Su Rui nodded modestly.

"It's a hidden quest, and the monster is really strong. I can't beat it. Can you help me? But this quest can't be shared, so if you think it's too much trouble, then forget it..." Tang Seng Shampoo Loves Pantene said hesitantly.

If tasks can be shared, there are quite a few players who are willing to help others. After all, they can also get rewards after sharing the task. But if the task cannot be shared, not many people are willing to be the one to help others. After all, who wants to do something that doesn't benefit them?

"Hmm..." Su Rui was also a little reluctant to help. He was a professional gamer, and he played games to make a living, not to carry low-level accounts in the game for charity. Even back then, Su Rui only carried female players. Now that he had a strong-willed girlfriend like Feng Lixi, Su Rui had even given up his last hobby.

"How about this, if my brother can help me complete the mission, I'll reward you, what do you think?" Tang Seng said. Although he and Su Rui had some acquaintance, it wasn't deep. Although he had once reminded Su Rui, Su Rui had given him a lot of puppet cores, which allowed him to gain a lot of experience points. So, in this sense, Su Rui not only didn't owe him anything, but he was the one who owed Su Rui a favor. Therefore, it was reasonable for Su Rui not to help him for free.

"Compensation? How much can you offer?" Su Rui immediately became interested upon hearing this, as he was currently short of money!

"Three gold coins!" Tang Seng is quite generous. His hidden quest only rewards two and a half gold coins, so he essentially paid out fifty silver coins himself. However, the experience reward and other rewards for this quest are quite substantial, so if he can complete the quest, he won't lose out at all!

"Alright!" Su Rui nodded immediately. He was just short of two gold coins, and the arrival of Tang Seng's Pantene shampoo was perfectly timed.

"Then I'll team up with you!" Tang Seng said, referring to his Pantene shampoo.

"I'll team up with you!" Su Rui said as he sent a team invitation to Tang Seng's Pantene shampoo.

"Ding! Tang Seng's shampoo, Pantene, has joined the team!"

A second later, Tang Seng, who loves Pantene shampoo, joined Su Rui's team.

"Hey! Your sister-in-law is here too!" Tang Seng greeted Feng Lixi with a smile. After all, they came from the same newbie village and had met before.

"Hmm..." Feng Lixi responded softly, but her face turned bright red.

"Where do you do that quest?" Su Rui asked bluntly. He wanted to help Tang Seng complete the quest as soon as possible, and then use the gold coins to upgrade his mercenary group.

"North of the city!" Tang Seng's words made Su Rui gasp. He knew that the monsters in the north of the city were level 20 and up. Although Su Rui was already level 16, the monsters a little further away from the city gate still posed a level advantage to them.

"What kind of quest are you doing, kid? The monsters in the north of the city are all level 20 or higher!" Su Rui asked.

"The target is a level 20 elite!" Tang Sanzang said.

"Wow! What kind of quest is this?" Su Rui asked in surprise. Through the team information, he knew that Tang Seng was only level 15.

"Hehe... If anyone else asked, I definitely wouldn't tell. But if you ask, my brother, I won't hide it from you. This is a racial mission!" Tang Seng said, referring to his love of Pantene shampoo.

"What?! A race quest?" Su Rui was stunned. According to the official introduction, in the game "Source", the initial race of players is pure-blooded humans. This race can evolve into other races through rare quests, but evolution can only be done once unless you delete your account and start over, so you have to be careful.

However, in all the time since the server opened, no one has mentioned the race quest, whether it's player discussions or information on the forums. It's unexpected that Tang Sanzang would get it, so it has to be said that luck plays a big role in this game.

“That’s right, a race quest. Once I complete the first stage of the quest, I can become a rare race. After completing the second stage of the quest, rare races can even advance in rank!” Tang Sanzang said with a hint of pride.

"You're really lucky, kid!" Su Rui chuckled. Although he was envious, he wasn't jealous. Although Tang Seng had gotten a quest that allowed him to transform into a rare race, and even a rare race that could advance in rank, it was all due to personal luck. As a professional player, Su Rui was quite open-minded about it. Otherwise, Feng Lixi's incredible luck alone would have killed him!

"Brother Rui, do you also want to transform into a rare race?" Feng Lixi suddenly asked at this moment.

“Of course! If we could transform into a rare race that matches our profession, it would be extremely helpful in improving our strength,” Su Rui said without hesitation.

"Oh!" Feng Lixi nodded thoughtfully, and then began to make plans in her mind.
