Since the system became my girlfriend

At this moment, Su Rui had a corpse guard tanking the monster in front of him, and Feng Lixi, a priest, healing him from behind. Combined with his magic damage output, this was practically the perfect trio for the dungeon quest. So, although Mosley was a level 12 elite monster with around 1,400 HP and considerable attack power, he couldn't make a dent in this combination.

After taking three Shadow Bolts, Mosley's health was almost depleted. He roared and then, with all his might, swung his axe at the Corpse Guard!

-227!

Mosley's desperate strike was very powerful, dealing over 200 damage to the melee guard who was almost a tank. But that was the end of it. With a wave of Feng Lixi's hand, the corpse guard's health that Mosley had lost was quickly restored, and then Su Rui's fourth Shadow Arrow arrived.

The Shadow Bolt spell reduces the target's spell defense, so the more you hit, the more damage it deals. With Mosley's low health, he simply couldn't withstand that hit.

"Ding! You have killed Mosley! You have gained 22 experience points!"

Although he didn't have much experience, Mosley's body shimmered after he fell, clearly indicating that he had dropped an item.

"Xiao Xi, you go touch it." Su Rui felt that he was always the one touching the corpses, and he was afraid that the girl would have a problem with it.

"Go ahead, I'm not interested in these things..." Feng Lixi shrugged. The fun of players opening corpses comes from the anticipation of unknown prizes, but for Feng Lixi, she knew exactly what the monster would drop, so she had no sense of anticipation and it didn't matter whether she opened it or not.

"Okay..." Su Rui shrugged. He was quite interested in opening corpses, because if he got good stuff, he could live a more comfortable life for a while.

As Su Rui turned the corpse over, an item fell into his hand.

Moraka Codebook (Item, White Quality)

Carry: Allows you to crack the Moraka Brotherhood's secret communications!

"This thing..." Su Rui picked up the codebook. It could be useful or useless, but fortunately, Su Rui's backpack had plenty of space, so it wouldn't be a problem to put it in there.

"Keep it, it might come in handy later," Feng Lixi said casually, but her words were no different from a prophecy.

"Hmm!" Su Rui nodded, putting away the codebook. At the same time, he had basically determined the identities of these Red Scarf bandits; they were definitely members of the Moraka Brotherhood.

"What kind of organization is this Moraka Brotherhood?" Su Rui muttered to himself. He had seen these people back in the newbie village, and they had also impersonated Brotherhood members when he assassinated Warwick.

From Archbishop Griffin's reticent attitude toward the Moraka Brotherhood, Su Rui could sense that this organization was definitely extraordinary!

Why would such a mysterious and powerful organization be interested in a convoy like this? Are they short of food?

The thought flashed through Su Rui's mind, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed the idea. If the Moraka Brotherhood could afford to hire an evil wizard like Warwick, would they lack money to buy food?

“This team is definitely not simple!” Su Rui quickly came to this conclusion.

"Mercenaries! I advise you to leave now! You may not even know who you are fighting!" Just then, a warhorse charged down from the hill, and a middle-aged man sat upright on it. The man held a long spear and carried a broadsword on his back, clearly a knight.

Blood Knight Zaren (Humanoid creature, leader)

Rating: 15

Health: 100%

"Hehe, since you know I'm a mercenary, you should understand that since I've taken their payment, I naturally have to help them get things done." Su Rui replied with a smile. Although the opponent was a level 15 boss, Su Rui had a tank and a healer by his side, so he wasn't really afraid.

“Mercenary! I can offer you double the reward in compensation, how about you cancel the mission?” Zaren frowned. Having witnessed Su Rui and Feng Lixi easily defeat Mosley, he was quite wary of Su Rui’s strength.

“This isn’t a good idea…” Su Rui said slowly. Actually, he was really tempted. The Blood Knight Zaren on the other side looked like someone not to be trifled with, but because he was a yellow-named player, he didn’t start fighting right away.

If it were just Zaren, Su Rui would definitely find a way to take down this mini-boss. But the problem is that Zaren is accompanied by dozens of minions. This guy clearly has considerable intelligence. If he doesn't fight a group of players alone like a normal boss, but instead leads a group of minions to gang up on Su Rui, then Su Rui really won't be a match for him.

So when Zhalen made this offer, Su Rui was tempted. He didn't care what treasure Ricardo was going to take back. Anyway, those things didn't belong to him; all he could get was the mission reward. If Zhalen could give double the compensation, Su Rui didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Moreover, Su Rui instinctively sensed that the Moraka Brotherhood's purpose was probably not simple. Even if he could deal with this minor boss, there would be a major boss to intercept him. Returning to Xuanwu City smoothly would probably not be so easy.

“Alright! You abandon the mission and leave here. In addition to giving you double the mission compensation, I'll also give you this!” Zaren said, taking out a letter.

"What is this?" Su Rui asked.

“Take this letter to the east of Xuanwu City. There’s a dock there. Show the letter to the dock manager, and he’ll take you to the East China Sea. Once you get there, give the letter to Sansas, and he’ll reward you with a series of quests,” Zaren said.

"Who? Sansas?!" Su Rui hadn't originally planned to go to the East China Sea coast, but after hearing this name, he immediately changed his mind.

You should know that Boss Su has a relic-level accessory that he has never dared to equip because equipping it would lower his reputation with Sansas by 3,000 points. So, until he found out who Sansas was, he kept this good equipment in his backpack and dared not use it.

“Yes, do you know him?” Zaren asked curiously.

“I once met a guy named Susas, and he mentioned this name to me,” Su Rui said briefly.

“That’s even better. You have mutual acquaintances, so you should have more to talk about. What do you say? Accept my suggestion and give up this mission!” Zhalen said to Su Rui.

"What do you think?" Su Rui turned to look at Feng Lixi. Although he was tempted, he was worried that Feng Lixi would blame him for breaking his promise to Ricardo to take back the goods, but then giving up halfway.

"I want to go to the beach!" Feng Lixi said to Su Rui with a sweet smile.

"That's settled then!" Upon hearing Feng Lixi's words, Su Rui immediately decided to happily break the contract.
