Since the system became my girlfriend

Faced with the rock golem's punch, Su Rui knew he couldn't stay on the ground to recover his health any longer. He stood up, swung his spiked club, and began to deal with the enemy in front of him.

Having reached level seven, the level difference between Su Rui and the rock golems was negligible. Therefore, he didn't lose as much health as before during battles. Even when fighting three or four rock golems in a row, his health wouldn't run out.

So, facing the second, menacing rock golem, Su Rui didn't panic. He swung his spiked club and started fighting the rock golem. Half a minute later, Su Rui also killed the rock golem.

"Ding! You have killed the Rock Golem! You have gained 13 experience points!"

Although his level increased, Su Rui actually gained more experience points because there was no longer a team to share the experience.

Bending down to pick up a golem core from the rock golem, Su Rui prepared to rest again, but at that moment, he suddenly felt an unpleasant gust of wind behind his ear!

"Whoosh..." A pair of giant rock fists slammed down from behind Su Rui, and another rock golem was activated!

"Damn it! Is this not giving us any time to rest?" Su Rui had already realized the true meaning of this test of willpower. No wonder the mission description told him to survive as long as possible!

Although the rock golems here didn't all rush towards Su Rui at once, they activated one after another, giving Su Rui no chance to catch his breath. Although his level had increased and he wasn't as injured as before when exchanging health while killing monsters, the problem was that he had no time to rest and no healing skills, which caused his health to continue to decrease.

"Ding! You have killed the Rock Golem! You have gained 13 experience points!"

This was the fifth rock golem that Su Rui had killed. Although Su Rui had tried his best to increase efficiency and reduce his own health loss, his health was still running low because his level was too low and he didn't have many skills to rely on!

"Intruder detected..." Just then, the sixth rock golem was activated...

"Should we retreat?" Su Rui quickly calculated in his mind. If he left this puppet mine, these rock golems would definitely not chase him. This place was like a dungeon, and the monsters inside couldn't escape.

But this would likely render Su Rui's previous efforts futile, and he would have to start all over again when he came back in...

"Let's try again!" Su Rui gritted his teeth, tilted his head back and gulped down a bottle of basic healing potion. His health began to recover rapidly, and soon he was back to more than half health.

"Boom!" The rock golem's giant fist slammed down, and Su Rui raised his spiked club to counterattack, and the two sides started fighting again.

Soon, this rock golem also met its end under Su Rui's spiked club, but a new rock golem was activated!

"How many of these are even considered a head?!" Su Rui was starting to regret it. He should have prepared more healing potions, but now he only had one bottle left...

"Damn it..." After gritting his teeth and barely managing to get past a rock golem, Su Rui saw that a new monster had been activated ahead. He thought to himself, "Looks like I really have to go back and buy some medicine."

"Glug..." After drinking the last bottle of healing potion, there were already eight rock golems lying in front of Su Rui, and now the ninth one was rushing over!

After engaging the monster, Su Rui retreated while fighting. He had already given up and planned to kill the monster and leave the cave. He would start over after buying the medicine. Although the medicine sold by Manager Wang was a bit expensive, Su Rui's wallet was still quite full because he had completed a hidden quest and obtained the bandits' treasure. Buying a few sets of potions would not be a problem.

Fighting and retreating, Su Rui quickly retreated to the edge of the narrow passage. If he retreated further, he would enter the narrow area. Once he crossed the narrow area, he would be able to leave the cave.

"Ding! You have killed the Rock Golem and gained 13 experience points!"

The ninth rock golem was killed by Su Rui!

"Boom!" Just as Su Rui was about to retreat into the narrow area and then exit the cave, the entire cave seemed to shake as if an earthquake had occurred!

"Powerful intruder detected. Ultimate defense system activated!"

With a strange mechanical sound, a larger rock golem spawned not too far from Su Rui.

The rock golems that Su Rui had killed before were tall enough, but compared to this behemoth in front of him, the ordinary rock golems that were over three meters tall were like children.

The giant rock golem that appeared in front of Su Rui at this moment did not look any different from those ordinary monsters, but it was over five meters tall and the rocks on its body had a metallic sheen!

Moreover, this giant puppet has a big name on its head - Final Defense Glinka!

"Should we kill the nine small monsters and then farm the quest monsters?" Su Rui memorized this information and then prepared to leave the cave.

"Intruder confirmed! Cleanup process initiated!" But at that moment, the giant puppet named Glinka moved!

"Whoosh!" Glinka stretched out his left hand, and a bolt of lightning shot straight at Su Rui. Su Rui had no time to react before he was struck by the lightning!

-8!

The damage numbers weren't very high, but Su Rui felt a sudden tightness all over his body; he couldn't move!

Immediately afterwards, Su Rui felt a tremendous force strike him, and he was involuntarily pulled in front of Glinka!

"Holy crap! Forced displacement?" Su Rui was dumbfounded. He was now pulled in front of the monster, so there was no way he could run away!

"Boom!" Glinka's fist slammed down!

-15!

The damage numbers are still within an acceptable range. If Su Rui were at full health, he would be willing to try, but the problem is that he is currently less than half health, with only a little over 120 health points. And judging from Glinka's size alone, his health points are not low either!

"Hoo..." As Su Rui was worried, he also swung his spiked club.

-35!

-56! (Critical hit!)

The damage was decent, but Glinka's health bar barely budged...

"Holy crap! That's at least a thousand health points..." Su Rui's heart sank, realizing he was about to die.

Judging from the opponent's health, it's clear this is going to be a long war of attrition. If Su Rui were at full health and carrying plenty of supplies, he could give it a shot. But now? Su Rui's own health is less than half, and he has no medicine left. This battle is already lost before it even begins.

Normally, Su Rui would definitely choose to run away. Running away when you can't beat a monster is a common thing for players. Besides, there were no girls around, so Su Rui wasn't afraid of losing face. But the problem is, this Glinka can catch people. With just his two legs, Su Rui can't run away even if he wants to!

"Idiot! I told you not to bring medicine!" Outside the cave, Feng Lixi was closely watching Su Rui's every move. Although she complained about Su Rui's carelessness—knowing it was a survival mission yet not bringing enough medicine—she couldn't just stand by and watch her boyfriend get beaten to death, causing the mission to fail…
