Since the system became my girlfriend

"Okay, then let's go help you complete the flax-gathering task first!" Su Rui smiled slightly. Although he hadn't received Li Meili's letter yet, he could imagine that it would bring him an extra hidden task or reward.

"By the time you return, my letter will be finished, and I'll give it to you along with the mission reward!" Li Meili said with a smile.

Then Su Rui took Feng Lixi's hand and walked out of the village. Since the main task of the beginner village was to help players adapt to the game, it did not set too many obstacles for them. After leaving the village, Su Rui and Feng Lixi arrived at the flax planting area. At this time, there were already many players squatting on the ground with hoes, digging hard.

“Let’s do the quest too!” Su Rui said to Feng Lixi. Because there was a lot of flax on the ground, which was both a quest item and a basic tailoring material, many players were still digging here after completing the quest. They planned to stockpile some flax and then sell it after leaving the newbie village.

After all, once you leave the starting village, secondary professions will be unlocked. People who want to learn tailoring will need a lot of linen to level up their skills, so these items can sell for a good price.

When Su Rui first entered the professional gaming circle, he also started as a low-level gatherer. However, after reaching his current level, Su Rui's products have become much more sophisticated, and he no longer needs to rely on simply selling his labor to earn money.

After taking out a small hoe from his backpack, Su Rui bent down and began to harvest flax. Guided by his harvesting skill, his hands automatically began to dig, and soon he had harvested a flax plant.

Because the flax spawns quite frequently here, Su Rui and Feng Lixi completed their tasks very smoothly. In just five or six minutes, the two of them had collected all the flax needed to complete the task.

“Let’s go over there, there are hemostatic herbs there!” Feng Lixi said, pointing in another direction.

"Isn't there one on the left too?" Su Rui was taken aback. To their left was another area where Hemostatic Grass spawned, and many players were collecting it there.

"There are too many people over there, I don't want to go. Let's go this way instead!" Feng Lixi shook her head and said.

"That works too!" Su Rui didn't care about that, as long as he could complete the mission.

Holding Feng Lixi's little hand, Su Rui and Feng Lixi headed towards another hemostatic herb spawn point a little further away. Su Rui was taking every opportunity to hold the girl's fair and tender hand; after all, why not take advantage of any opportunity?

About fifteen minutes later, Su Rui and Feng Lixi arrived at the spawn point of the hemostatic grass. There were only three or five players gathering herbs there, and these guys were obviously professional players. They were gathering very seriously, and almost immediately went to the next one after picking one, without any delay.

Hemostatic herbs and flax are similar, both being materials needed for basic crafting. The only difference is that flax is a material needed for tailors, while hemostatic herbs are needed for potions. In the early stages of the game, as long as you put in the effort, you can earn some money from both of these items.

Especially when you're still in the starting village, many people fill their backpacks and warehouses with these basic materials. After leaving the starting village, it's hard to find areas where these materials spawn densely. You often have to ride your mount for more than ten minutes to find one tree. Unlike now, you can collect five or six trees just by sitting there without moving.

Since this place is far from the starting village, players who are doing quests will definitely not come here to collect herbs. They don't need much hemostatic herb, and the spawn points near the village can meet their needs. Those who come here are all professional gold farmers who want to fill their backpacks.

“Let’s do the mission here,” Feng Lixi said to Su Rui with a smile.

"Okay!" Su Rui nodded, then took out his hoe and began digging for hemostatic herbs. Because the resources in the newbie village refreshed very quickly, those who directly farmed for gold didn't pay much attention to the arrival of Su Rui and his companion.

Twenty hemostatic herbs weren't a lot, and in just over ten minutes, Su Rui had collected all the herbs he needed, and even dug up the portion that Feng Lixi needed as well.

"Let's go, let's go turn in the quest." Su Rui pulled Feng Lixi along and prepared to leave, but just then, Feng Lixi pointed to a figure not far away and said, "There's an NPC over there, let's go see if there's a quest!"

"Oh?" Su Rui looked in the direction Feng Lixi was pointing and saw a green-named NPC on the ridge of a field not far away, but because of the distance, he could not see the name of the person.

"Let's go take a look!" Su Rui nodded. Since they were already here, a few more steps wouldn't hurt. If they could get a quest, at least they could gain some experience. In the game "Source", leveling up by simply grinding monsters would be a long and arduous process. Only by completing quests could they quickly gain experience.

Soon, Su Rui and Feng Lixi walked hand in hand in front of the NPC.

Susas, that's the name of this young male NPC. If you look closely, you'll see a small title above his head. Combined with his name, he's the idle Susas.

"Hey, isn't this the legendary warrior? What are you doing in this field? Did you lose your job at the Adventurers' Guild or get kicked out of the Mercenary Guild?" Su Rui and Feng Lixi were mocked by Susas as soon as they arrived.

"Haha, that silly boy went over there too!"

"Yeah, there are always some naive kids who don't believe in superstitions and think that guy will give them a mission, but they just end up getting yelled at!"

"Heh heh, as if you're not the same..."

"I don't know which idiot designed this NPC. Apart from being sarcastic, he is completely useless."

"Who knows, maybe it's just a person's weird sense of humor."

"Alright, let's stop discussing this. Let's see how that kid got roasted..."

The professional gold diggers who were digging for medicinal herbs stopped what they were doing. From their conversation, it was clear that these guys had all tried their luck at Susas, only to be rejected.

It's obvious that this guy can't do anything but talk; he won't give players any quests. If you go up to him, you'll just get humiliated.

"Hey kid, what are you holding? A hoe? You really do look like a farmer!"

"Hmph! Someone like you actually has a woman with you? Girl, are you disabled? Are you blind and heartless?"

……

Susas has an incredibly sharp tongue; with just a few words, he almost made Su Rui's lungs explode with anger.
