Since the system became my girlfriend

"Kid, where the hell were you last night?!"

"Uh... I have something to do..." Su Rui mumbled in response to Mokawi's questioning.

“Alright, I don’t have time to waste with you. If you’re going to rescue Salo, you’d better set off now, because I’m worried he won’t live tonight!” Mokawi said.

"Huh?!" Su Rui was startled. If Salo were dead, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to Lord Daril.

“He is currently being held in a camp thirty miles north of Xuanwu City! If you want to rescue him, you'd better set off immediately!” Mokawi said.

“Okay!” Su Rui nodded and was about to chant the return spell. He obviously couldn’t go to rescue people alone, because he was only level nineteen. Not to mention the Brotherhood members guarding Marshal Salo in that camp, even the small monsters north of Xuanwu City would be enough to give him trouble.

“What are you going to do?!” Mokhawi asked.

"Of course we're going back to Xuanwu City to ask for help!" Su Rui didn't hide anything.

“No!” Mokhawi immediately waved his hand.

"Why?" Su Rui asked curiously.

“Because if you tell Lord Daryl, you’re not saving Salo, you’re harming him!” Mokawi said.

"Huh?!" Su Rui looked completely bewildered.

“Putting aside the fact that Daryl has spies from the Moraka Brotherhood around him, your mission to deliver the message might alert them and bring Salo to his death. Even if you don’t alert the spies, as long as Daryl and his men get close to that camp, it will still alert them!” Mokawi said.

"How is this possible?" Su Rui asked in disbelief.

“Hmph! Nothing is impossible. That camp has an alarm system. Any creature above level 30 that gets close will alert them!” Mokawi said.

"Is that even possible?" Su Rui was taken aback for a moment, then he asked, "How many Brotherhood members are guarding Marshal Salo? What rank are they?"

“There are twenty-five Brotherhood members guarding Salo. The most powerful one is a minor leader who is level 55. Apart from him, the others are all elites around level 50,” Mokawi said.

"What the hell! Are you kidding me?" Su Rui rolled his eyes after hearing this. With such strong defense, wouldn't he be committing suicide if he went?

“Alright, I’ve said everything I need to say. Now it’s up to you. If you can rescue Salo, then I’ll consider my information a free gift. If you can’t rescue him, then you’ll have to do something for me!” Mokawi said.

“Okay!” Su Rui nodded. His bet with Mokawi was just a side thing. If he couldn’t rescue Marshal Salo, the city lord of Daril would issue a city-wide warrant for his arrest, and he would have no choice but to delete his account and start over. So Su Rui didn’t take the bet with Mokawi to heart at all.

"Good luck, young man!" After saying that, Mokawi returned to his own world through the portal.

"Phew... what to do... what to do..." Su Rui spun around in circles, feeling extremely troubled.

According to Mokawi's description, it was impossible for Su Rui to rescue Marshal Salo, after all, the other side consisted of twenty-five Brotherhood members, including a level 55 mini-boss, and the rest were all level 50 elites!

At this time, Boss Su was just a newbie at level 19. If he were discovered by those Brotherhood members, there would only be one outcome—instant kill!

"It seems we can't rely on brute force this time; we'll have to outsmart them!" Su Rui took a deep breath and then sat down.

After racking his brains for a long time, Su Rui suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

"I've got it!" After making up his mind, Su Rui stood up and ran towards Xuanwu City.

At this moment, Su Rui was more than ten miles away from Xuanwu City. The monsters around him were all above level 25. He came here to summon Mokawi in order to avoid being discovered by other players. Now he had to go back a distance.

Soon, the monsters around Su Rui's body dropped to around level 22 or 23. Although the monsters outside the north gate of Xuanwu City start at level 20, the closer you are to the city gate, the higher the level of the monsters here.

Su Rui randomly picked a level 23 grizzly bear and began casting Shadow Bolt. With Su Rui's high spell damage, the grizzly bear only managed to attack Su Rui twice before being knocked down.

He was brought back to life!

Su Rui unleashed his signature skill, pulling up the grizzly bear's carcass, which then became his corpse guard!

Although the level 20+ Grizzly Bear was no match for Brotherhood members who were level 50 or higher, it was very important to Su Rui. Only with it could Su Rui continue his act!

After reviving the Grizzly Bear, Su Rui returned to the official road and then sprinted toward the coordinates provided by Mokawi.

About half an hour later, Su Rui arrived near the camp. There should have been level 27 or 28 monsters around here, but because the Brotherhood members used this place as a temporary camp, all the monsters around had been slaughtered.

This made things easier for Su Rui; otherwise, he would have been taken down by the mobs before he even met any of the Brotherhood members!

From afar, Su Rui spotted a campfire surrounded by a group of people. Next to the group was a cart with a wooden cage on it, inside which was a person being held captive. Without asking, he knew that the person being held captive was Marshal Salo.

"Hoo!" After taking a deep breath, Su Rui walked towards the campfire.

From afar, Su Rui could see that all the Brotherhood members had bright red names, which meant that they were hostile to Su Rui and would immediately pull out knives and start killing him if they met.

"I hope my idea is right!" Su Rui was gambling; if his idea was wrong, he would definitely be killed.

But at this point, Su Rui no longer needed to cherish his life. If he couldn't save Marshal Salo, he would have to delete his account and start over. Compared to that loss, what did losing a little experience from dying matter?

"Go!" Su Rui nodded, summoned the corpse guard to his side, and made it walk at the front.

"Who goes there!?" Once Su Rui entered the Brotherhood members' line of sight, they spotted him. In this respect, the NPCs were at a huge disadvantage!

For players, they can see anyone who is not stealthed or invisible as long as they can see them. But it's different for NPCs. When they look at hostile creatures, they have to wait for them to enter their aggro line of sight. Otherwise, even if you walk right in front of them, they will not see you.
