Since the system became my girlfriend

After tossing the token to Su Rui, Salo strode out of the village and disappeared into the southern wilderness.

"This guy has a story!" Su Rui muttered to himself, watching Salo's departing figure.

"Are we going to escort them out of the village now?" Feng Lixi asked from the side.

"Okay!" Su Rui nodded, then he asked the farmers who were on lookout duty to help gather everyone together and count the number of people.

At this time, there were still forty-two people in the entire village of Sigma, most of whom were the elderly, women, and children. Only eleven able-bodied men were able to take up arms to fight against the undead.

"Organize a convoy, we're about to set off! After dark, the undead will roam in large numbers, so we must reach Donghai Town before nightfall!" Su Rui shouted loudly, urging the villagers to hurry on their way.

The entire escort mission was relatively safe, though they encountered several waves of undead. However, these undead were few in number and there was no boss present, so Su Rui and Feng Lixi quickly dealt with them.

More than an hour later, Su Rui escorted the villagers to Donghai Town.

Since the mission reward had to be collected in Xuanwu City, Su Rui put it aside for the time being. Having finally arrived in Donghai Town, he certainly didn't want to go back now.

Since the NPCs in Donghai Town weren't giving Su Rui any quests, he had no choice but to head to the town hall to see if there were any quests available in Sansas.

Just then, Su Rui suddenly received a message from a friend!

"Hey bro, I'm level 10! Which main city are you in? Let's team up!" The message came from Tang Seng, who loved shampoo and Pantene. Because Su Rui had left him some puppet cores, this kid had caught up with the top tier of players and was now leaving the newbie village.

"I'm in Xuanwu City," Su Rui replied with a message.

"Okay!" Tang Seng replied, then chose Xuanwu City as his main city and left the beginner village.

While Tang Seng was washing his hair and registering as a mercenary and changing jobs, Su Rui didn't care. He had only met this kid once, but because the kid had kindly reminded him, he left him those puppet cores that he could no longer use.

Now that this kid is willing to come to Xuanwu City, Su Rui naturally has no objection, but he doesn't plan to bring this player along. After all, Su Rui is known as a female-carrying maniac, not a male-carrying maniac.

"Ding! Weiwei Dongting has requested to add you as a friend. Do you accept?" Just as Su Rui replied to Tang Seng's message, another system notification appeared.

"Agreed!" After adding the friend, Su Rui immediately sent a message: "Why are you so slow?"

"Do you think I want to? This stupid game is so hard to level up! I'm already fast enough. In our newbie village, the highest level besides me is only level eight, okay?" Weiwei said irritably. Apart from eating and getting necessary sleep, he spent all his time in the game, but even so, it took him almost three days to barely leave the newbie village.

"Alright, hurry up and change jobs. Don't forget to register with the Mercenary Guild first," Su Rui said with a smile. He and this guy, Weiwei Dongting, were friends in real life. The guy's real name was Hu Bowei, and the two used to work in the same studio.

Later, Hu Bo couldn't stand Jin Nong's hardship, so he went to do something else. Now, playing games is just a hobby for him. If it weren't for his vacation, he wouldn't be able to play so much.

Although Hu Bowei no longer makes a living from gaming, his hobby remains unchanged. So, he still occasionally joins Su Rui in playing dungeons to get some equipment. Although Su Rui always complains that Hu Bowei is taking up his spot for playing with girls, he never refuses to acknowledge his request.

Now that the game "Source" has been released, Hu Bowei naturally wouldn't miss it, so he had already made plans with Su Rui to play together.

"Okay, what level are you now?" Hu Bowei asked.

"Level 10," Su Rui replied. Although he already had more than half a tube of experience, he was still some distance away from leveling up.

"Tch! So you've been making fun of me all this time, but you, Boss Su, are only level 10!" Hu Bo rolled his eyes. He thought Su Rui was already level 12 or 13, but it turned out he was only level 10.

"Hmph! You'll see once you change jobs. Leveling up in this game is like seeing a ghost!" Su Rui complained.

“Yeah! The experience gained from leveling up doesn’t seem like much, but the experience gained from killing monsters during quests is too little. I’ve never seen a game where you only get single-digit experience points from killing monsters!” Su Rui’s complaint immediately resonated with Hu Bo.

"Alright, hurry up and change your job, I need to do a quest." Su Rui had already arrived at the entrance of the town hall.

"Okay! Oh! Right, I almost forgot to tell you, when I entered Xuanwu City, I think I saw your little fangirl!" Hu Bowei suddenly added.

"Her? Why is she in Xuanwu City? Her home is in the south! Even if she's playing this game, she should be going to Zhuque City, right?" Su Rui was stunned, and at the same time, a little girl with pigtails appeared in his mind, followed by a headache.

"How should I know... Anyway, I just spotted her, she's probably after you..." Hu Bo said with a gloating tone.

"This is really troublesome..." Su Rui frowned.

"What's the trouble! Everyone knows you, Boss Su, are a renowned womanizer. Winning over a little fangirl is a piece of cake, isn't it? And this girl's family is so rich. If you win her over, you might be able to live happily as a gigolo for the rest of your life!" Hu Bowei laughed.

"Alright, alright, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Also, I have a girlfriend now, so don't bring up the past again! Especially in front of my girlfriend!" Su Rui warned. Because he and Hu Bowei were too close, they often talked without restraint when they were together. If this guy were to reveal all his past messes, a pure girl like Feng Lixi might not be able to accept it...

"Wow! Bro, you're so quick! Your reputation as a girl-carrying maniac is well-deserved..." Hu Bo was startled. He knew very well that Su Rui didn't have a girlfriend in real life, and when he quit the previous game half a year ago, his relationship with the girl in the game naturally ended.

The game "Source" has only been out for a few days, and Su Rui has already hooked up with another one, which sometimes makes Hu Bowei a little envious and jealous.

"Alright, enough nonsense..." Su Rui cut off the communication directly, his brows furrowing in a frown. That girl actually came to Xuanwu City too, this is really troublesome!
