Since the system became my girlfriend

Chapter 54 A little test of skills

After entering the hills, monsters began to appear before Su Rui. These jackal-men were humanoid creatures that had the appearance of jackals but walked upright on two legs. They also wore simple clothes and carried broken weapons.

Although these gnolls are red-named, aggressive monsters, because it's a low-level monster area in the wild, there's no chain of hatred between them. As long as you don't run over there and frantically lure monsters, you can easily lure them over and kill them one by one.

Su Rui searched the vicinity but couldn't find the gnoll named Gege. It seemed that he needed to kill monsters first, and the gnoll with the name would only spawn after a certain number of monsters had been killed.

"Come on! Let's try out this new profession!" Su Rui took a deep breath; this was his first real-world experience after changing professions!

Finding a nearby gnoll, Su Rui walked over. The casting range of magic-based classes is 30 meters without any additional skill or equipment bonuses, which is slightly shorter than that of archer classes. Archer classes have a range of 35 meters without any skill or equipment bonuses.

Positioning himself at the edge of the attack range, Su Rui began to chant Shadow Arrow. Although this skill could be cast while moving, since Su Rui was the one to initiate, he naturally didn't need to put in so much effort.

"Whoosh!" After two seconds of chanting, a Shadow Arrow shot out from Su Rui's palm, heading straight for the gnoll.

-234!

A red damage number floated above the gnoll's head!

At this moment, Boss Su's spell damage reached 121, and Shadow Bolt had a 210% bonus, so it was not surprising that he dealt more than 200 damage in one go.

"Awooo!" The jackal immediately gained Su Rui's hatred after being attacked, and then charged at him, swinging its mace.

At this moment, Su Rui retreated while continuing to chant Shadow Bolt. This regular damage skill had no cooldown time, and if conditions allowed, he could cast it every two seconds.

-233!

As the gnoll charged toward Su Rui, another Shadow Bolt was fired!

The gnoll was very fast. After two Shadow Bolts, it was already in front of Su Rui. Although Su Rui was keeping his back, he didn't have time to cast a third Shadow Bolt. If he tried to cast it while enduring the gnoll's attacks, the casting time would be extended due to the attacks, resulting in very low efficiency.

Although Su Rui's Dark Mage class is a hidden class, his basic attack skill does not have the slowing effect of a mage's Frostbolt. Otherwise, he might be able to cast the spell a third time.

But now, Su Rui clearly wasn't going to force a Shadow Bolt. He directly cast Corruption on the gnoll's head and then revealed his dagger!

The old village chief's heirloom dagger also provides a bonus to melee combat. Combined with the special effect of the magic energy ring, Su Rui's physical attacks can now inflict 40% magic damage. This terrifying mixed damage effect gives him considerable melee output capabilities. However, compared to true melee classes, he simply lacks melee skills and has low health and defense, making him unsuitable for tanking monsters in combat.

-36!

The continuous damage effect of the Corruption spell began to take effect, and at that moment, the gnolls arrived in front of Su Rui.

Before the gnoll could swing its mace, Su Rui attacked first. The dagger was much faster than the mace. As Su Rui moved closer, the dagger pierced the gnoll's body first. At this moment, the gnoll had just swung its mace and its body was still leaning back.

58!

41!

Two numbers appeared above the gnoll's head at the same time: 58 was the damage caused by physical attacks, and 41 was the additional magic damage!

Since Su Rui's magic attack is over 120, the additional 40% spell damage is also quite considerable.

"That's interesting!" Su Rui's eyes lit up. With one dagger strike, he could deal nearly a hundred points of damage. Even a proper melee class probably wouldn't have that kind of output!

-32!

The gnoll's mace also landed on Su Rui. The cloth armor didn't offer much defense, so Su Rui's damage reduction was poor. But fortunately, he had enough health, so he didn't really care about this damage.

-36!

The effect of Corruption jumped again. The characteristic of this continuous damage is that it is very stable. Once it hits, you will keep losing health.

"Pfft!" At this moment, relying on the speed of his dagger, Su Rui stabbed at the monster's chest again.

-57!

-40!

Two damage numbers appeared simultaneously again, and at the same time, the gnoll exhausted all its health!

As a level 10 mob, this gnoll only had 700 health points. Su Rui took away more than half of it with two Shadow Bolts. Then, with the continuous damage of Corruption and two terrifying mixed damage attacks, the gnoll only had time to swing its mace once before Su Rui finished it off!

"Wow! This monster-killing efficiency is amazing!" Su Rui was overjoyed. He hadn't fully mastered the characteristics of this class yet, but he could kill monsters so easily. It seemed that this hidden class was indeed quite powerful!

"Right! Can't we summon corpses? Let's do it!" Su Rui then immediately used the Resurrection skill on the gnoll corpse in front of him!

"Crackling..." With a series of cracking sounds, the dead gnoll stood up again. It swayed and came to Su Rui's side. At the same time, Su Rui discovered that he had gained a few more minor skills.

Command: Attack!

Command – Defend!

Command: Standby!

Command: Follow!

There are four minor skills in total, which are clearly used to command this corpse guard.

"Attack!" Su Rui pointed to a gnoll in the distance and gave the order.

"Awooo!" The gnoll corpse let out a strange cry and then charged towards its former companion. At the same time, Su Rui began to cast Shadow Bolt.

-35!

The gnoll's attack inherited some of Su Rui's attributes. It was also a mixed damage attack. Although the value wasn't very high, it was still a decent supplement. Most importantly, this thing could attract the monster's aggro, which allowed Su Rui to safely hide in the back and cast Shadow Bolt!

A level 10 monster has about 700 HP. Su Rui's Shadow Bolt deals more than 200 damage. Combined with the attack from the gnoll corpse, he only needs to cast three Shadow Bolts to kill a monster, which greatly speeds up his monster-killing speed.

"This is awesome! I'm just waiting for Xiao Xi to come online. It would be a real shame if I didn't use this efficient and safe way of grinding monsters to carry girls!" Su Rui muttered to himself as he ground monsters.

But at this moment, Su Rui obviously did not realize that his career of taking care of girls had already ended the moment he confirmed his relationship with Feng Lixi!
