Since the system became my girlfriend

Even though she might verbally criticize her boyfriend, she still felt sorry for him. When Feng Lixi saw Su Rui in a desperate situation, she had no choice but to intervene.

In fact, according to Feng Lixi's plan, this part of the mission could be completed normally. Although she sometimes liked to trick Su Rui, she was afraid that if she tricked him repeatedly, Su Rui would get angry. Therefore, some parts of this series of missions were normal, such as this part of the test of will.

But who would have thought that Boss Su would be careless this time? He forgot to buy medicine. He had planned to run back to buy medicine after the quest monster appeared, but the quest monster named Glinka could actually grab people. Before Su Rui could even run far, he was grabbed by the monster and brought back.

Left with no other choice, Feng Lixi could only secretly clean up the mess left by Boss Su's carelessness. Her eyes flashed with blue light as she modified one data point after another.

"It's over! It's over!" Su Rui was covered in sweat as he kept hitting the monster with his staff while closely monitoring his health.

Fortunately, although this Glinka was huge, its attack speed was not fast. Although Su Rui took a few hits, he still had about 70 or 80 health points left.

But at that moment, Su Rui suddenly noticed a small yellow dot on the giant puppet's foot!

"Huh?! This is a weakness?!" Su Rui had experience from his previous mission to wipe out bandits, so the moment he noticed the yellow spot appearing under Glinka's feet, he delivered a critical strike directly at the spot!

-380!

A huge damage number appeared, instantly catching Su Rui's eye!

"It really was a weakness! Heaven is on my side!" Su Rui laughed loudly, but Feng Lixi, who was observing through the mirror outside, spat inwardly: "Pah! What heaven is on your side? It's clearly your girlfriend's good fortune!"

After finding the weakness, it became much easier for Su Rui to kill the monster. Moreover, Feng Lixi was also watching Su Rui's health to find the weakness. So when Su Rui had only 20-odd points of health left, Glinka's last weakness was also found!

-17!

Glinka's fist landed first, and after taking that hit, Su Rui only had five points of health left! In this critical moment, Su Rui suddenly noticed a yellow spot out of the corner of his eye, and then he swung his spiked club and smashed it down.

"Bang!" The spiked club struck the yellow spot precisely, without missing a beat or tilting!

-339!

A huge damage number appeared, and the giant puppet, over five meters tall, collapsed!

"Ding! You have defeated the ultimate guardian, Glinka! You have gained 200 experience points!"

"Wow! So much experience?!" Su Rui was stunned. If it weren't for the fact that Glinka's damage was really low, he would have doubted whether this was a BOSS!

Looking up, Glinka had turned into a pile of rubble, and the rubble was shimmering with golden light, which meant that the monster had dropped an item.

Su Rui took two steps forward, felt around in the rubble, and immediately found several items in his backpack!

Puppet Core*10! Silver Coins*10! Broken Connector*5! Glinka Core*1!

"It really isn't a BOSS..." Su Rui muttered in disappointment. Although this monster had a lot of health and gave a lot of experience, it was just a quest monster, so it didn't drop any equipment. It only dropped quest items and some odds and ends, such as the puppet cores and engineering parts that regular monsters would drop.

Having obtained Glinka's core, Su Rui had completed his mission in the cave. After sitting on the ground to recover his health slightly, he stepped out of the cave.

With a "whoosh," Su Rui returned to the main map outside after passing through the invisible membrane.

"Is the mission complete?" Feng Lixi asked knowingly.

"Of course! Don't you know who my boyfriend is? Is there any task I can't complete?" Su Rui said with a smug look on his face, but his flattery was not wrong.

"Really? That's great!" Feng Lixi complimented in kind, even though she had already thoroughly despised Su Rui in her heart.

"You have no idea how dangerous it was back then..." Su Da Baihua began to describe the scene to Feng Lixi in a vivid and detailed manner, just like a storyteller. He even embellished the story and exaggerated his own experiences to an unbelievable degree. If Feng Lixi hadn't seen the whole thing through the mirror, she might have believed the details he described.

They walked and talked, and soon returned to the starting village.

"Ah! Young man, you're back! How was it? Did you see Glinka?" Gai Nie asked with a smile.

"Of course! Lord Gai Nie, here is the core of Glinka that you requested!" Su Rui handed over the task.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you! You truly have a bright future ahead of you!" Gai Nie nodded with a smile, and at the same time, he fulfilled his mission reward!

"Ding! Mission complete! You have gained 1000 experience points!"

The 1,000 experience points earned significantly increased Su Rui's experience bar.

"Lord Gai Nie, is there anything else I can do for you?" Su Rui asked.

"Hmm! Your trial isn't over yet!" Gai Nie nodded, then said to Su Rui, "Although you've proven your courage and will to me, that's not enough to make you a qualified mercenary. To become a qualified mercenary, you still need to prove you have enough strength!"

"Lord Gai Nie, how do I need to prove it?" Su Rui asked.

"Take this map and do as instructed!" Gai Nie handed Su Rui another mission map.

"Yes! Lord Gai Nie, I will not let you down!" Su Rui nodded and accepted the mission.

"Ding! Mission Update: Trial of Strength!"

Trial of Power: In ancient times, this world was inhabited by a large number of elemental creatures, who were the masters of this world. However, as time went by, the elemental creatures gradually withdrew from the stage of history and disappeared between heaven and earth. Only a few spellcasters with high magical power could summon them back to the prime plane!

But there are always exceptions. Some elemental creatures are incredibly powerful. They have survived in this world through their own strength. Although their power has been eroded by tens of thousands of years, it is still immense! Nashka is an example!

Find it! Then kill it! Bring me your fragments!

Mission objective: Defeat the earth elemental giant Nashka and bring back its fragments.

Quest Level: 10!

Difficulty: Extremely High! (Single-player mission; if any other player appears within a 200-meter radius of the mission location, the mission will fail!)

Task Reward: 1500 Experience Points!

Special Reward: Unlock the final chapter of the trial mission!

"Hiss!" After reading the mission description, Su Rui couldn't help but gasp. This mission was not easy to complete. Putting everything else aside, the single-player restriction alone was troublesome. Even if Su Rui was capable of taking on the mission monster alone, if a clueless player suddenly appeared nearby, his mission would fail!

At this moment, Su Rui only had Feng Lixi by his side, so it was simply impossible for him to reserve the entire area with a radius of 200 meters!
