Since the system became my girlfriend

As the two figures suddenly appeared and threatened Su Rui, one of the players threw a flying knife, interrupting Su Rui's return to base.

Clearly, both players are rogues, possessing stealth and concealment skills. Although Su Rui struggled greatly when traversing the monster zone, these specialized classes enjoy significant advantages when crossing it.

Although invisibility cannot hide from monsters that are 30 levels higher than oneself, it will reduce the monster's aggro and line of sight, making it easier for them to pass. Moreover, both of these players are level 49, only one level lower than Su Rui. It can be seen that these two are among the top players.

Clearly, these two guys had been following Su Rui all the way here. Because Su Rui had offended his wife, he hadn't received any warning until he was cornered here, at which point he realized he was being watched.

Two rogue-type players facing a spellcaster in a small, enclosed area could practically kill him with their eyes closed. That's why these two dared to show themselves and threaten Su Rui. Even if they succeeded in killing him, they might not get the legendary equipment. So the two kids wanted to try and trick him into giving them the equipment.

"Are you planning to rob me?" Su Rui raised an eyebrow.

"It's not exactly robbery. You stole our Blood Moon Guild's vice-president's BOSS before, haven't you already forgotten? We're just collecting some interest now!" one of the rogue players laughed.

"Yeah, you'd better hand over your equipment voluntarily and give us a couple of benefits. That way, we can put in a good word for you with the vice president. Otherwise, after we kill you, the brothers in the graveyard won't let you off the hook either. You dare to steal our vice president's BOSS? You're really tired of living. Get ready to quit the game!" Another rogue player said with a confident expression.

This tracking of Su Rui wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but an organized operation. Their mission was to track Su Rui down and kill him in the cave. The nearest graveyard was already surrounded by a large number of Blood Moon Guild players. If Su Rui was killed there, he would be camped as soon as he respawned in the graveyard. Offending such a violent guild could lead to being killed to the point of quitting the game, which was more than just a threat.

"Looks like you two have the victory in your grasp!" Su Rui said with a half-smile.

"Hmph! Kid, stop pretending. Even if you call for help now, it's too late!" The rogue player who spoke first glanced at his companion and then said, "Let's do it. Stop wasting time talking to this kid!"

“Okay!” the other thief agreed, and then the two of them disappeared.

Thieves in many games have the ability to become invisible, and the same is true in "Source". These guys can always strike first, but Su Rui is an exception!

Upon seeing the two thieves disappear into the shadows, Su Rui dared not be careless. Although his equipment was extremely luxurious, as a magic-based class, if he were to be controlled by two thieves of similar level in the first round, he would be in serious trouble!

"Bang!" Su Rui quickly put the legendary armor, whose attributes he hadn't had time to check, into his backpack, and at the same time, forcefully shoved the staff in his hand into the ground!

"Boom!" A ring of fire radiated outwards from Su Rui. The range of this ring of fire was extremely wide. In this narrow cave, the two thieves had no way to avoid it and were directly burned out of their bodies by the ring of fire!

-5527!

-5362!

The moment they were burned out of sight, the two thieves' expressions changed, because Su Rui's instant-cast area-of-effect skill had actually taken away half of their health! How much spell damage would that take?

The opponent's equipment is not only good, it's ridiculously good!

This was the only thought in the minds of the two thieves at that moment. They now had two paths before them: the first was to run, and the second was to fight for their lives!

How to do?

The two thieves exchanged a glance and then simultaneously made the decision to fight to the death. They hadn't come here on a whim; they were acting under orders. If they went back like this, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves to the vice president.

At the same time, high risk comes with high reward. If they can take down this kid, any piece of equipment he drops will be enough for them to make a fortune. After all, the vice president's goal is to kill and take revenge. If he can get equipment, it will become their extra income!

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and after exchanging a glance, the two thieves made the same decision without prior agreement.

"Bang! Bang!" With two dazzling flashes of light, the two thieves activated the skill that forced them to become invisible in battle—Vanish! This skill has a long cooldown time and requires expensive flash powder as a casting material.

Although it required expensive materials, the problem was that if they didn't force invisibility now, Su Rui could easily use an instant-cast skill, and at least one of the two thieves would be killed! After weighing the pros and cons, both thieves made the same choice.

After using stealth, the first thing these two thieves did was use potions. They had no choice; they only had a little over four thousand health left. If the spellcaster in front of them used an instant cast with terrifyingly high spell damage, they would be dead.

After each of them used a large health potion, the two thieves, though heartbroken, finally restored their health to over 7,000.

"Get him!" The two thieves exchanged a glance, then sprinted towards Su Rui. Neither of them knew how long the cooldown of that group spell he had just used was, and if he used it again, they would really be out of the game.

"Bang!" Seeing the two thieves stealthily enter the shadows, Su Rui patted his chest and activated one of his skills with a long cooldown time—Demonic Blood Boiling!

Blood Boiling: Makes your next spell with a casting time of no more than ten seconds instant! Cooldown: Three minutes!

"Come on! Hellfire!" After activating the Blood Boiling Technique, Su Rui shook his staff and pointed it at his feet!

"Kill him quickly!" The two thieves were already close in. Their coordination was perfect. The first thief launched a sneak attack, stunning Su Rui for four seconds. Although Su Rui had good equipment and resistance bonuses, he couldn't escape the three-second stun. When the three seconds were about to end, the other thief would launch a new round of sneak attacks. With the two taking turns controlling him, controlling a spellcaster to death was as easy as playing a game.

Although he was stunned by the sneak attack, Su Rui's spellcasting had become instantaneous during the surge of demonic blood, so his spell was already completed when the sneak attack took effect!

Boom! A huge fireball descended from the sky!

-5806!

-5952!

Two massive fire damage attacks, each approaching 6,000 points, instantly reduced the two thieves to a sliver of health. They had been focused on eliminating Su Rui, so they were all close enough to unleash a barrage of attacks, but before they could even dodge, they were struck squarely by the fireball.

The fireball also has a stun effect upon impact, although it only lasts for two seconds. However, the problem is that after the fireball lands, a giant demon engulfed in flames stands up. This demon not only has explosive attack power, but also has a built-in fire damage aura. Any hostile target near it will suffer high fire damage!

Before the two thieves could even recover from their stun, the damage from the Flame Aura started ticking!

-2754!

-2683!

Two significant damage numbers instantly killed the two rogues who were already at low health!

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

With two crisp sounds, the two thieves who had interrupted Su Rui's return to town with throwing knives, as the ones who initiated the attack, unsurprisingly lost their equipment.

"Hey, a level 45 epic dagger! A level 48 epic bracers! Not bad gear. You two are here to offer some comfort, aren't you?" Su Rui muttered to himself, then happily accepted the "comfort" offered by the two thieves.
