Since the system became my girlfriend

The meeting concluded after Regent Bagherdu announced the start of the purge.

After returning to Xuanwu City from the royal city, Su Rui and City Lord Daril went back to Xuanwu City together.

"Brother, why did you give the Regent such a terrible idea?" Su Rui asked, frowning.

"Hehe... How can this be called a bad idea? As long as we stand firmly by the Regent's side during this purge, our status will surely be greatly enhanced!" Lord Daryl asked.

"Brother, are you alright? You're not the kind of person who chases fame and fortune, and do you know how many people will die in this purge?" Su Rui asked.

“Many people will indeed die, but I can’t care about that anymore. My teacher dedicated his whole life to the kingdom, and this is how he ended up. I’ve figured it out. I want revenge. I want revenge for my mother and for my teacher. And to get revenge, I need more power and more soldiers! I’ll stop at nothing to get revenge!” Lord Daryl glanced at Su Rui and asked, “Brother, you’ll help me, right?”

"Holy crap! Has this guy gone mad?" Su Rui muttered to himself, but still replied aloud, "Of course! I want to avenge my godfather too!"

"Then let's do it together! As for those innocent victims, in any great undertaking, there will be sacrifices. It is their honor to become sacrifices for this great cause!" At this moment, the corrupted Daryl was obsessed. He firmly believed that everything he was doing was right, and Su Rui knew that it was useless to persuade him.

“Okay! Let’s do it together!” Su Rui nodded. To him, even if some NPCs died innocently in this purge, it was just a tragic part of the story, so he didn’t feel guilty.

……

Daryl then returned to the city lord's mansion, where he had to prepare for the purge of Xuanwu City. Su Rui did not go with him; instead, he left the city lord's mansion and went to the streets of Xuanwu City.

"What's going on? Why the sudden update?"

"I don't know! It's supposedly emergency maintenance..."

"Did someone trigger some kind of plot?"

"Maybe. I heard this is a server-wide maintenance, so it doesn't just affect Xuanwu City. It might have been triggered in another city."

"It's possible! It's possible!"

……

Players were discussing it, but no one got any relevant information. Even those who were well-informed were completely in the dark.

So they could only guess whether players in other cities had triggered the relevant events, but only Su Rui knew that a special event was about to unfold.

Su Rui had no interest in listening to the players' continued discussion, so he logged off in the city.

Back in reality, Su Rui began to live according to the schedule left by Feng Lixi. Because he had already formed the habit, although the days were a bit boring, he basically stuck to it during this period. Unless there were special events in the game, he basically did not miss anything.

After such a long period of targeted training, Su Rui is not strong enough to take on anyone one-on-one, but at least his physical fitness has improved a lot compared to before.

"These are teaching materials prepared for you by your master. You can take a look at them while you have time." At this moment, the robot butler came to Su Rui's side and handed him a projection device.

"Brother Rui, you must practice hard!" After the projection was turned on, the first thing that appeared was Feng Lixi's avatar. She said to Su Rui with a slightly playful tone.

"What is this?" Su Rui asked, but since Feng Lixi had only recorded an opening monologue, the projection naturally wouldn't answer.

"This is a teaching material sent to you by your master. She asked me to give it to you," the robot butler said.

"Oh!" Su Rui nodded, and then started the projection.

As the projection played, Furiki's image gradually disappeared, and a video appeared in its place.

This video shows two people fighting, and it's clear that it's an instructional video, with one person demonstrating the moves and the other acting as a sparring partner.

According to the narration recorded by Feng Lixi himself, this fighting instruction video is the most advanced fighting instruction video available today. Every move is perfectly designed, which can not only maximize the damage to the enemy, but also maximize the use of one's own physical strength.

"How long will it take to learn this..." Su Rui couldn't help but complain as he watched the complicated moves in the video.

“Master hopes you can learn it before she returns, so you’d better work hard!” said the robot butler beside him.

"Yeah! I'll try my best. I don't know when that girl will be back!" Su Rui sighed, then began to watch the video seriously and started training.

Having undergone physical training for a period of time, Su Rui, despite being a novice, was able to train well by following the videos. Although he felt some strain, he was not unable to complete the tasks.

After briefly watching the video and learning one or two moves, Su Rui knew it was time for bed.

After going to bed on time, Su Rui quickly fell asleep. In his dream, he reunited with Feng Lixi, but the Feng Lixi who returned was not quite the same as before. As for what was different, Su Rui couldn't quite put his finger on it...

The next morning, Su Rui got up and went for a run first, then came back to watch videos and practice fighting until the server reopened.

After the server was turned on, Su Rui logged back in.

"Holy crap! What's going on?" As soon as he entered the game, Su Rui noticed that the atmosphere in Xuanwu City was extremely strange.

As more and more players logged in, more and more people discovered this problem.

"What's going on?"

"Why are there so many soldiers on the street?"

"I don't know, it's probably related to this update."

"I don't know what's going on with this update, there's not a single piece of information on the official website..."

"It was a sudden, temporary update. There's nothing we can do about it. The game is now maintained by a super artificial intelligence system, so even the developers don't know which part of the content the system is updating."

……

Seeing the players discussing amongst themselves, Su Rui strode towards the City Lord's Mansion, but before he even reached it, he ran into City Lord Daryl.

However, this time Lord Daryl was not traveling incognito. He was dressed in brand-new military uniform, with a large number of soldiers following behind his warhorse. Under the escort of these soldiers, several prisoners were riding in wooden caged prison carts toward the central square.
