Since the system became my girlfriend

After receiving the mission, Su Rui took Feng Lixi straight to the east of the city. During the journey, it was inevitable that they would hold hands and try to take advantage of each other. However, Feng Lixi seemed to be very conservative. Her maximum tolerance was that Su Rui would put his arm around her shoulder. If Boss Su tried to go any further, Feng Lixi would not stand for it.

After arriving in the east of the city, Su Rui and Feng Lixi found Ricardo in a large mansion, following the clues on the mission map.

Rich businessman Ricardo

Rating: 50

Health: 100%

Because he was a friendly NPC, that was all the information Su Rui could see.

"Mr. Ricardo, is this the bounty mission you issued?" Su Rui asked directly.

"Oh! Mercenary, you've finally arrived!" Ricardo was overjoyed to see Su Rui, but Su Rui secretly thought to himself, "You're a level 50 NPC, asking a level 10 player for help? Are you out of your mind?"

"Mr. Ricardo, could you tell me the specifics?" Although Su Rui was inwardly complaining, he still smiled on the surface. After all, he was there to do a mission, not to complain.

“It’s like this…” Ricardo didn’t waste any words and immediately said to Su Rui, “One of my caravans was hijacked by jackals in the west of the city. I hope you, mercenary sir, can help me rescue my men and recover my goods!”

"I see..." Su Rui nodded. This kind of task is very common. It's nothing more than killing monsters and retrieving the task items. At most, you also need to escort the task NPC back to the city, so it's not particularly complicated.

“Mercenary, can you help me?” Ricardo asked.

"Of course!" Su Rui nodded. He had already accepted the mission, so how could he possibly give it up at this time?

“Then you should hurry up and set off. I’m afraid if I delay any longer, all my men will be killed by those gnolls!” Ricardo said.

“Mr. Nalicardo, will you come with us?” Su Rui asked.

“No…no…I’m just an ordinary person, this kind of fighting and killing is not suitable for me…” Ricardo waved his hands repeatedly, while taking a few steps back.

"This is unbelievable!" Su Rui rolled his eyes. Most of the common people in this city are ordinary NPCs of level one to five. NPCs like Ricardo, who are level fifty, are quite rare, and even rarer are those who are so cowardly.

“Alright, we’ll bring your goods back.” Su Rui didn’t think much about Ricardo’s matter; it was better that this NPC wasn’t coming along, to avoid causing trouble later.

"Xiao Xi, let's go!" Su Rui said to Feng Lixi beside him.

“Okay!” Feng Lixi nodded, then followed Su Rui and left Ricardo’s house.

The two crossed the central square of Xuanwu City, then left the city through the west gate and headed straight for the area indicated by the mission prompt.

About twenty minutes later, Su Rui arrived at the low hills again. If he went any further, he would reach the gnoll territory.

"It's just ahead!" Su Rui glanced at the mission map.

“Then let’s go!” Feng Lixi said with a smile. She mainly enjoyed the time she spent with Su Rui. The two of them bickered and teased each other, which made her very happy. As for where to go or what mission to take, that really did not arouse the interest of Nuwa, who was a super artificial intelligence and also the master of the game.

After walking about two hundred meters further, Su Rui spotted a convoy in the distance. The convoy had stopped and formed a circular defensive perimeter with its vehicles. The humans inside were using the vehicles as cover to fight off the gnolls that kept charging at them.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The human guards hiding behind cover kept attacking the gnolls with arrows, while the gnolls were also constantly retaliating. Some charged forward wielding melee weapons, while others hid behind and fired arrows. Although their accuracy was somewhat low, the number of gnolls was more than five times that of the human guards. The casualties on the human side were constantly increasing. At the current rate, in another ten or eight minutes, the human guards would be wiped out.

"Shadow Arrow!" After getting close to the convoy, Su Rui fired a Shadow Arrow from a distance.

-402!

After upgrading several pieces of equipment, Boss Su's spell damage increased significantly again. With the additional 20% spell damage from Cursed Blood, his spell damage bonus on the panel now reached a staggering 199! And with Shadow Bolt's spell damage bonus reaching 210%, it's not surprising that a single Shadow Bolt can deal over 400 damage!

After the gnoll was hit by Su Rui's Shadow Arrow, it immediately lost nearly half of its health. Its aggro immediately shifted to Su Rui, and it charged at Su Rui, brandishing its short-handled knife.

-405!

As the gnoll charged forward, Su Rui's second Shadow Bolt was also completed. After these two hits, the monster only had a little over 100 health points left. It rushed in front of Su Rui, preparing to slash Su Rui's head, but Su Rui, who was holding a dagger, was faster!

-52!

-67!

"Ding! You have killed a gnoll villain and gained 14 experience points!"

Two damage numbers appeared simultaneously, and before the gnoll could even bring down its blade, Su Rui had depleted its health! However, because Su Rui had teamed up with Feng Lixi at this time, the experience points gained were less.

He was brought back to life!

With a wave of his hand, Su Rui resurrected the gnoll into a corpse guard. Since the resurrection skill has no cooldown when used on non-player targets, Su Rui can switch guards at any time. In the spirit of not wasting anything, Su Rui resurrected the corpse in front of him and used it for now. He can switch to a better option later.

"How about that? Aren't I amazing?" Su Rui glanced back at Feng Lixi. Having obtained such a powerful hidden profession, if he didn't show it off in front of the girl, what would be the difference between him and someone who had secretly gone to great lengths?

"Wow, that's amazing! That gnoll was taken down in an instant before it even touched you!" Feng Lixi chimed in, looking at Su Rui with adoration, which greatly satisfied Su Rui's vanity.

When Su Rui turned back to continue killing monsters, Feng Lixi quickly took out her notebook and put a checkmark next to one of the homework assignments, clearly indicating that she had completed another assignment.

With the Corpse Guardian, Su Rui's monster-killing speed became even more astonishing. He no longer needed to finish off enemies himself. He could simply cast Corruption between two Shadow Bolts, and then he could start chanting for the next target. The gnoll's remaining health would be quickly depleted under the combined attacks of Corruption and Corpse Guardian.

In less than five minutes, Su Rui had cleared out all the monsters near the convoy. The human guards of the convoy breathed a sigh of relief; they had really thought they were going to die!
