Since the system became my girlfriend

After a long while, Su Rui finally vented his anger. He sat on the top of the cliff, fuming, while Feng Lixi remained calm beside him.

"What are you planning to do next?" Feng Lixi asked.

"Jump then..." Su Rui shrugged helplessly.

"You really intend to jump?" Feng Lixi was taken aback. She had seen Su Rui cursing for a long time and thought he wouldn't jump.

"If this were real life, I'd beat anyone who dared to mess with me like this. But this is a game. Since the mission requires me to jump, I definitely won't die from the fall. And even if I do die and lose experience, there will be compensation," Su Rui said calmly.

"Then why were you cursing for so long?" Feng Lixi was stunned. In her opinion, since Su Rui understood everything, what was there for him to be angry about?

"Of course I have to complain! This development team is so twisted. They just keep giving me these ridiculous tasks. I'm not blaming them for making me jump down. If there were an elevator, I would have jumped. The problem is, I worked my butt off to get up here, and then less than thirty seconds later, they made me jump down. Isn't this just playing with me?" Su Rui said with dissatisfaction. If this task had made him do something else on the mountaintop, taking up an hour or two, he wouldn't be so resentful. But like this, being made to jump down right after getting up does seem like they're messing with him.

"Pfft..." Feng Lixi couldn't help but laugh. Although this guy sometimes complained and was sometimes annoying, he was still quite cute.

"What are you laughing at..." Su Rui had been sulking with his head down, but when he heard Feng Lixi's laughter, he looked up and saw the girl's smiling face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom. Instantly, he felt that the more than an hour of suffering he had just endured was all worth it!

"Alright! Let's get on with the task!" Feng Lixi smiled and tapped Su Rui's forehead with her fingertip. That charming touch almost stole Su Rui's soul.

"Okay! Good! Good!" Su Rui took Feng Lixi's small hand and stood up.

"By the way, how are you going to get down later?" Suddenly, Su Rui remembered a question. He could jump down directly when he was doing a mission, and because it was a mission, he probably wouldn't die from the fall. Even if he did die, he would be compensated. But what about Feng Lixi?

She accompanied him up the mountain, but the problem was that going up was easy, but coming down was difficult. With such steep cliffs, how was she going to get down?

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about me," Feng Lixi said with a smile. How could such a small matter be a problem for her?

"Hey... if you can't get down, you can jump down with me. If it doesn't work, we can just farm a few more puppet cores. Anyway, our level is low now, so it's not a big deal..." Su Rui thought Feng Lixi was trying to comfort him, so he stroked the girl's small hand and said comforting words.

At first, Su Rui genuinely intended to comfort Feng Lixi, but who knew that the wonderful sensation of holding and caressing her soft, white hands would make him unable to stop, and the originally heartwarming scene suddenly turned lewd...

Feng Lixi initially had a sweet expression on her face, but soon her expression changed.

Feng Lixi was already blushing, but Su Rui, that shameless bastard, went too far and was not satisfied with just touching her little hand. How could Feng Lixi bear this?

"Don't delay the mission, let's begin!" In her haste, Feng Lixi didn't wait for Su Rui to finish. She suddenly pulled her hand away and, in the blink of an eye, went behind him and kicked him in the butt.

"Thump, thump, thump..." Su Rui was kicked forward several steps. These few steps weren't a big deal, but the problem was that Boss Su was now standing on the edge of a cliff...

"Holy crap... little girl, you just wait..." Su Rui fell face-first off the cliff, barely missing the increasingly distant words—"I'll be back..."

"Pfft... Haha..." Feng Lixi on the cliff couldn't hold back any longer, and she laughed so hard she almost fell over.

……

At this very moment, Su Rui was "enjoying" the whistling wind rushing past his ears as he plummeted from the cliff top, his speed increasing until he was about to crash into the ground.

"Chirp!" Just then, a melodious eagle cry rang out, and Su Rui felt a tightness on his back, as if he had been grabbed by something. Then his body jolted and he soared into the sky again.

Looking back, Su Rui saw a large bird behind him. The bird was golden all over and much larger than an eagle, with a wingspan of more than ten meters.

At this moment, the large bird was grabbing Su Rui's belt and carrying him towards the newbie village!

"Chirp!" With another sharp cry, the large bird dropped Su Rui in the center of the village, right in front of the combat instructor Gai Nie. Then, the golden bird flapped its wings and took off, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Very good! Young man, you actually dared to jump off the cliff. Now you've passed the test of courage!" Gai Nie said with a big laugh after Su Rui landed.

"Hmph! I was kicked off the mission..." Su Rui muttered to himself. Of course, he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise the mission reward he was about to receive would be gone!

"Lord Gai Nie, I have no fear in order to become a qualified mercenary!" Su Rui said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression. Anyone who didn't know the situation would never guess that this kid had been kicked down.

"Alright! The first stage of the Trial of Courage is complete!" As Gai Nie spoke, Su Rui's task list was updated again, and he also received the experience points rewarded by the Trial of Courage.

"The next stage is a test of will! Go, and complete it according to the instructions in this map!" Gai Nie handed Su Rui a new map again.

"Yes, Lord Gai Nie!" Su Rui nodded and accepted the task.

"Have you received a new mission?" At this moment, Feng Lixi rushed back.

"You came down so quickly? You didn't jump down, did you?" Su Rui was a little dumbfounded. He was delivered directly to Gai Nie's side by the big bird. In just a few words, Feng Lixi also returned. According to normal thinking, she must have committed suicide by jumping off a cliff and then resurrected in the nearby cemetery!

"Tch! You think everyone is as useless as you..." Feng Lixi rolled her eyes. She thought that coming back was just a matter of teleporting.

"Uh..." Su Rui saw that Feng Lixi didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask any more questions. But in his heart, he was convinced that Feng Lixi had jumped off the cliff to commit suicide for love. He just didn't want to worry him, so he didn't tell him. Thinking of this, Su Rui felt a little touched. As for Feng Lixi's kick on the cliff top, he didn't care to investigate it anymore.
