Since the system became my girlfriend

After flipping through a few more pages, Su Rui closed the forum with a secret sense of satisfaction. His girlfriend was so beautiful and eye-catching, so of course he was proud. As for being reported, Su Rui didn't take it to heart.

As the saying goes, "A straight body casts a straight shadow." Boss Su didn't cheat. No matter how exaggerated the data was, he had a clear conscience. All that can be said is that Boss Su had exceptionally good character back then, while those unlucky guys were left with nothing but trouble.

After closing the webpage, Su Rui went to the corner of the living room, which was his workout area. There was a treadmill and some simple home equipment, such as small dumbbells and a sit-up stand.

From the very first day he became a professional gamer, Su Rui knew that good health was the foundation of everything. Although playing games doesn't require exercise—you just lie down in the gaming pod—Su Rui still insisted on exercising every day after gaming.

After exercising for an hour and a half, Su Rui took a shower and then went to bed.

Although he earns a living by playing games, Su Rui's life is relatively regular. Unless there are special events, he generally doesn't stay up all night playing games.

……

The next morning, Su Rui opened his eyes precisely at 6:05 a.m. He didn't need any external devices like an alarm clock; his biological clock was very punctual.

After getting up and taking care of personal matters, and then quickly washing up, Su Rui went to the refrigerator to get his all-purpose pork rib soup.

Pork rib noodle soup is Su Rui's usual breakfast.

After eating, Su Rui went out for a walk, and by the time he got home, it was already 7:30.

"Get ready!" After doing a few stretches, Su Rui locked the door and then lay down in the gaming pod.

With a flash of white light, Su Rui returned to the beginner village.

"It's almost eight o'clock, I wonder if that girl is online yet?" Su Rui muttered to himself.

"Are you talking about me?" Feng Lixi's voice suddenly came from behind Su Rui's head, startling the boss so much that his soul almost flew out of his head.

"Holy crap! Grandma, do you know that scaring someone can kill them?" Su Rui was genuinely frightened just now.

"Tch! So cowardly..." Feng Lixi curled her lips.

"It's not a matter of being a coward. If someone suddenly appears behind you, wouldn't you be startled?" How could Su Rui back down in front of a girl?

"I'm not afraid!" Feng Lixi said with a smile. She was the system goddess, and the entire game was under her surveillance. Who could hide anything from her? So this situation simply didn't exist.

"Tch! All you're good for is talking!" Su Rui scoffed.

"Alright! Stop with the nonsense. Let's go turn in the quest first, and then go back to grinding monsters. Didn't you want to leave the starting village as soon as possible?" Feng Lixi changed the subject.

“That’s true!” Su Rui nodded, and then walked towards the blacksmith’s shop with Feng Lixi.

"Warriors, have you completed the task I assigned you?" The NPC asked as Su Rui and Feng Lixi approached Brother Zhang.

“Yes, we have completed the mission!” Su Rui said as he handed over the crude iron ore.

"Ah! Thank you so much! With these ores, I can forge even more equipment! Thank you, warriors, this is your reward!" Brother Zhang said happily.

"Ding! Mission complete!"

With a system notification, Su Rui received the mission reward.

The two hundred experience points earned slightly increased Su Rui's experience bar. The few dozen copper coins were negligible. As for the beginner iron sword, Su Rui sold it directly to blacksmith Brother Zhang for five copper coins. With a green-quality spiked club in hand, why would he be interested in such a basic weapon?

Feng Lixi, who was standing nearby, had also completed her quest. At this moment, Brother Zhang took the initiative to ask, "Did you encounter any rock golems while mining? Did you obtain their cores?"

"Not yet, but we will try our best to complete it!" Su Rui lied.

"Alright, if you find it, you can send it to me anytime! My previous promise remains unchanged!" Brother Zhang said with a smile.

"Okay!" Su Rui nodded.

"Warriors, thank you for your contributions to the village. Your heroic deeds have been reported to the Mercenary Guild by the village chief. The guild has now sent a combat instructor, who is in the center of the village. You can go and see him!" Just then, Brother Zhang announced the follow-up to the newbie quest.

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Zhang!" Su Rui said to the blacksmith, Brother Zhang, with a smile.

Then Su Rui pulled Feng Lixi away from the blacksmith shop and headed straight for the center of the village.

"Hey! You clearly have so many puppet cores, why don't you turn in the quest?" Feng Lixi asked curiously after leaving the blacksmith shop.

“We don’t have enough puppet cores to upgrade to level 10. Turning in the quest now will only increase our level, but after upgrading, our experience gain from killing monsters will decrease, which is not worthwhile. Let’s just use this level to grind monsters and turn in the quest when we have enough puppet cores!” Su Rui said with a smile. As a professional player, he was quite good at calculating.

"..." Feng Lixi looked at Su Rui speechlessly. She really hadn't thought about it in this way. After all, as the goddess of the system, she could adjust her level and experience at will. If she wasn't worried that Su Rui couldn't accept her true identity, she could reveal her true identity now and directly turn Su Rui into a level 100 big BOSS with full divine equipment.

Because the village wasn't very big, Su Rui and Feng Lixi quickly arrived in front of the combat instructor.

From afar, Su Rui could see the combat instructor talking to several players in front of him, and his expressions were very rich, clearly indicating that he was an intelligent NPC with high intelligence.

"Should we go over later?" Su Rui asked, knowing that Feng Lixi didn't like joining in the fun.

“Mm!” Feng Lixi nodded.

Soon, the first few players accepted the quest and left. Because Su Rui and Feng Lixi had spent several hours farming rock golems yesterday, most players had already accepted the quest from the combat instructor. After these later players left, the place suddenly became deserted.

"Let's go!" Su Rui called out, then took Feng Lixi's little hand and walked forward. He was taking every opportunity to take advantage of her, and Feng Lixi seemed to be used to this intimacy. She didn't struggle when Su Rui held her hand, and sometimes she would even take the initiative to put her little hand in Su Rui's hand.

The two had just walked towards the combat instructor, still quite a distance away, when the instructor, Gai Nie, saw them and his expression clearly showed great surprise.

At the same time, a blue light flashed in Feng Lixi's eyes, while Gai Nie's expression quickly calmed down.
