Since the system became my girlfriend

When Su Rui arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Grand Marshal Salo had not yet arrived, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion still had their usual cold faces when they saw Su Rui.

"Hehe, don't rush, you'll all be bowing and scraping to me in a bit!" Su Rui thought to himself.

He has completed the mission of rescuing Grand Marshal Salo. After taking Salo to meet Lord Daril, Su Rui will receive a reward of 500,000 experience points and 100 gold coins, as well as a large amount of reputation. For example, his reputation in Xuanwu City will be directly raised to Gold, and his reputation with Lord Daril will be directly raised to Revered.

From now on, Su Rui no longer had to face the cold expression of City Lord Daril, and the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion no longer dared to order Su Rui around.

After waiting for about ten minutes outside the city lord's mansion, Grand Marshal Salo finally arrived late. Clearly, as an NPC, although his movement speed far exceeded Su Rui's, he did not have the skill of returning to the city. So, although he was rescued, he had to run back in a hurry.

"Grand Marshal, was the journey smooth?" Su Rui stepped forward and asked.

"Yes! We didn't encounter any trouble and returned smoothly." Grand Marshal Salo nodded.

“Then shall we go see Lord Daryl? He’s been very worried about you,” Su Rui said.

"Alright! Let's go in!" Grand Marshal Salo took the lead and walked into the city lord's mansion. Although he had not been informed, none of the guards in the city lord's mansion dared to stop him.

Following behind Marshal Salo, Su Rui easily entered the city lord's mansion and went directly to the main hall.

When Su Rui arrived at the hall, Lord Daryl had already rushed down from his throne.

"Teacher! Are you alright?" Lord Daryl rushed to Grand Marshal Salo's side, then grasped his hands and asked.

"Don't worry, kid! I'm fine!" Salo said with a smile.

"That's good! That's good!" Lord Daryl nodded excitedly.

“Not only are we alright, but I’ve also learned a great secret that has been troubling me for a long time. Now the mystery is finally about to be solved!” Marshal Salo said to Lord Daril.

"Teacher, what is the big secret?" Lord Daryl asked curiously.

“We’ll talk about that later. First, make sure this young man gets the reward he deserves!” Salo said, pointing at Su Rui.

“Okay! No problem!” Daryl was a man of his word. He turned to Su Rui and said, “Mercenary, you did a good job. This is the reward you deserve!”

As Lord Daryl waved his hand, a series of golden lights flashed above Su Rui's head.

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'I Am Me' for reaching level 20! All attributes are now at 10! Five attribute points have been evenly distributed across your five basic attributes, and you can freely allocate the remaining five attribute points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'I Am Me' for reaching level 21! All attributes are now at 10! Five attribute points have been evenly distributed across your five basic attributes, and you can freely allocate the remaining five attribute points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'I Am Me' for reaching level 22! All attributes are now at 10! Five attribute points have been evenly distributed across your five basic attributes, and you can freely allocate the remaining five attribute points!"

Su Rui has now achieved a true three-level winning streak!

"Ding! Congratulations, player Grasshopper, you have reached level 20! You can now activate your second-tier skill!"

Immediately following, another system notification sounded. If it were other players, they would have to go to the skill instructor to learn skills when they reached level 20. But Su Rui was different. He had been forced to change his class, and Warwick, who had changed him to a dark magic wizard, was already dead. So Su Rui had nowhere to learn skills.

Fortunately, before leaving, Su Rui thoroughly searched Warwick's belongings and found his notes. In this way, Su Rui had learned all the skills. However, due to level restrictions, his skills were all sealed. When he reached the required level, he could activate them directly without having to go to the skill instructor, thus saving a lot of tuition fees.

After opening his skill list, Su Rui saw that three skills had changed from gray to yellow. Once activated, these skills would turn green, and he could use them normally.

Curse of Pain: Curse the target with dark magic, dealing 35% of magic damage as shadow damage per second for 20 seconds!

Weakness Curse: Curses the opponent with dark magic, reducing their movement speed by 20%, attack speed by 40%, and attack power by 40% for the next 20 seconds!

Dark Word: Curse the target with dark magic, guaranteed to hit! The enemy has a 10% chance of instant death!

Since it didn't cost any money, Su Rui didn't need to think about or choose; he simply learned all three skills.

Of these three skills, Curse of Pain is undoubtedly an enhanced version of Corruption. It has higher spell damage, longer duration, and no cooldown, which allows Su Rui to apply this continuous damage effect to multiple targets.

The second skill is a soft control effect that can slow down the target and reduce the opponent's attack speed and attack power. All things considered, if a physical class is afflicted with the Weakness Curse, their damage will be greatly reduced. Basically, even when attacking Su Rui, who is wearing cloth armor, it will be difficult to deal much damage.

As for the third skill, it's practically invincible. It's an instant-death spell. If it's successfully cast, there's a 10% chance the opponent will be instantly killed, regardless of their level or rank!

Of course, such an invincible skill must have limitations. First of all, it is ineffective against players, otherwise the game experience for other players would be too bad. In addition to being ineffective against players, it is also ineffective against high-level BOSSes. After all, this skill is too overpowered. If there were no limitations, Su Rui could use it to slay gods!

Even with all these limitations, this skill is still incredibly powerful, with a 10% chance of instantly killing the opponent. Moreover, it's an instant-cast spell. Although it has a 30-second cooldown, that doesn't diminish its strength!
