Since the system became my girlfriend

Traveling in the game is not like traveling in real life. If a ship is to sail downstream to the coast of the East China Sea, it will take at least several days. However, it is obviously unrealistic to make players stay in the cabin for several days in the game.

So shortly after the ship left the dock and entered the waterway, Su Rui felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then entered teleportation mode. A few seconds later, the map switched, and when his vision returned, the ship Su Rui was on had already arrived at the seaside.

Because of its involvement in smuggling and illegal immigration, the ship could not go directly to the official port on the coast of the East China Sea. It first came to a secluded mangrove forest and then docked there!

"Hey you guys! Hey you guys! We've arrived!" a crew member shouted, banging on Su Rui's cabin door.

"Okay!" Su Rui replied, then led Feng Lixi, whose face was still a little red, out of the cabin.

After they came out, Su Rui found that the crew members didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them at all. They were busy unloading cargo. The ship was carrying a large amount of smuggled goods. Because they had bribed the person in charge of inspection and had the dock manager as an insider, the departure was smooth sailing. However, after arriving at the coast of the East China Sea, they had to unload the smuggled goods in advance and then transfer them to land transport to disperse them into the city.

After glancing around, Su Rui didn't find any NPC named Sansas here, and the crew members were all busy unloading cargo, so they didn't seem to have any missions to issue. So he said to Feng Lixi, "Let's go, let's go to the city and take a look."

“Okay!” Feng Lixi nodded.

There is a small town on the coast of the East China Sea. Its size cannot be compared with a main city like Xuanwu City. It only has three or five streets. It is more appropriate to call it a small town than a small city.

After walking along the main road for about fifteen minutes, Su Rui and Feng Lixi arrived at the entrance of the small town.

Donghai Town

The town's name is engraved above the city gate.

There were also guards standing at the entrance of Donghai Town, but Su Rui looked at these soldiers carefully. Although they all had green names, their clothes were different from those of the soldiers in Xuanwu City, and these soldiers also looked more lazy.

Su Rui and Feng Lixi entered the city without any trouble. The guards did not stop them, but one of them whistled at Feng Lixi, which made her frown.

"Has the military discipline here become so lax?" Su Rui frowned. Donghai Town was also under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu City, and it was also Daril's territory. According to the city lord's personality, his soldiers should be disciplined. Could it be that these soldiers are so lax because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away?

Shaking his head, Su Rui dismissed these thoughts and then looked back and forth on both sides of the street at the NPCs, hoping to find traces of Sansas.

"What are you looking for?" Feng Lixi asked curiously.

“Looking for that Sansas? Didn’t Zaren tell us to give the letter to him?” Su Rui said.

"Why don't we just ask someone?" Feng Lixi said.

“That’s true!” Su Rui went straight to an NPC selling general merchandise.

"Ah! My dear warrior, I have a full range of goods here. Is there anything you need?" This NPC's opening line reveals that he is not particularly intelligent.

"Do you know where Sansas is?" Su Rui asked. In this kind of virtual game, it's normal to ask an NPC for directions. If he knows, he'll tell you.

"Lord Sansas? He's at the town hall!" the NPC replied.

“Township? Okay! Thank you!” Su Rui was taken aback. According to Zalen, this Sansas was likely a member of the Moraka Brotherhood, but he was now at the township, which meant that Sansas held a position under Daryl.

"Looks like the Moraka Brotherhood has pretty good infiltration capabilities!" Su Rui muttered. The previous dock manager had been bribed by the Moraka Brotherhood, and this Sansas had even infiltrated Eastsea Town!

“Yes, that’s what makes it fun!” Feng Lixi laughed from the side, her words tinged with pride. After all, in the entire game “Source”, apart from the core storyline and world view which were completed by the development team, all the other side quests and details, including the creation and characterization of NPCs, were her masterpieces.

"Although this development team is a bit of a pain, I have to say that their mission design is really good!" Su Rui nodded in praise.

"Hehe..." Feng Lixi chuckled a few times behind Su Rui. Although Su Rui was praising the development team, Feng Lixi felt that her boyfriend had affirmed her abilities.

After confirming the location of Sansas, Su Rui and Feng Lixi headed straight for the town hall, a church-like building with a pointed roof. Although it wasn't very large, it looked quite solemn and dignified.

"Mercenaries, who are you looking for?" At the entrance of the town hall, Su Rui and his companion were stopped by the guards. After all, this was an office building, and not just anyone was allowed to enter.

“We are looking for Lord Sansas,” Su Rui said as he stepped forward.

"Who are you?" the guard asked warily.

"We were hired to deliver a message," Su Rui said. It was normal for mercenaries to accept a delivery mission, and even if Sansas's identity was exposed, Su Rui's words would not cause any trouble.

"Where's the letter?" the guard asked.

"Here you go!" Su Rui handed over the guidance letter directly.

"Wait!" The guard turned and left.

A moment later, the guard returned, followed by a man who looked to be in his thirties. This man had a green name on his head—Sansas.

"You two! Follow me!" After leaving the town hall, Sansas nodded to Su Rui and Feng Lixi, then walked towards a quiet street. Su Rui and Feng Lixi exchanged a glance and followed him.

Soon, Sansas arrived at a house, opened the door, and went inside.

"Come on in!" Inside the house, Sansas called out to Su Rui and the other person.

"Okay!" Su Rui and the other person entered the room, and at this moment, Sansas closed the door.

The room was dimly lit, and Sansas didn't turn on the lights. He simply pulled a lever, and a hidden door leading underground opened.

"Follow me!" Sansas took the lead and walked into the hidden door. After Su Rui and Feng Lixi followed, the hidden door closed automatically, and the room returned to its original state.

Once underground, Su Rui discovered that the underground of Donghai Town had probably been hollowed out, with a network of crisscrossing tunnels everywhere.

After leading Su Rui and his companion to a secret room, Sansas stopped and said to them, "I have read Zaren's letter and I am glad that you made the right choice. Our Moraka Brotherhood will never treat our friends who cooperate with us unfairly. In recognition of your contributions, I am willing to offer you some missions as compensation!"
