Since the system became my girlfriend

After returning home, Su Rui washed his face and then lay down in the gaming pod.

After Su Rui logged into the game, Feng Lixi was already waiting for him inside.

"This girl is really fast!" Su Rui muttered to himself, but for Feng Lixi, the switch between the game and reality was just a matter of a moment. Even when she was with Su Rui, she only focused most of her attention on him. She could still spare some energy to do other things. After all, multi-tasking was just a basic operation for her.

“We’ve almost finished our mission here, shouldn’t we head back to Xuanwu City?” Feng Lixi suggested, knowing that Su Rui was avoiding his female admirers and therefore dared not return to the city. Feng Lixi had already investigated these matters thoroughly.

That's why she took the initiative to return to Xuanwu City and then created an opportunity for Su Rui and his little fangirl to meet. Feng Lixi's purpose in doing this was very simple: to force Su Rui and his little fangirl to confront each other!

As for Feng Lixi, although she knew about Su Rui's past romantic affairs and was unwilling to give up on him because of it, it didn't mean she could allow Su Rui to have those entanglements in his heart. So she wanted to force Su Rui to make a clean break and sever ties with all the girls he had been with.

This little fangirl is the first one!

Moreover, in order to help Su Rui completely resolve his real-world problems, it was necessary to confront his little fangirl. Otherwise, if things continued to dangle like this, the real-world problems would never end. That's why Feng Lixi urged Su Rui to return to the city as soon as possible.

"Uh..." To be honest, Su Rui was very afraid of returning to the city because he was really afraid of running into female fans.

First of all, Su Rui was unaware that Feng Lixi had already learned all his secrets. He was afraid that the appearance of the little fangirl would be unacceptable to Feng Lixi, thus causing her to lose this budding relationship.

Secondly, Su Rui was genuinely afraid of being pestered by the little fangirl again, which would attract her brother. Although Su Rui was now a somewhat famous professional gamer, in the eyes of that kind of family, he was like an ant. Even if he suddenly disappeared one day, probably no one would investigate.

It was for these reasons that Su Rui had been hiding in Donghai Town, and even though he had been there for several days, he was unwilling to go back.

But now, in order to force Su Rui to return to the city, Feng Lixi has made all the NPCs in the entire East Sea Town ignore him. Even Sansas has stopped giving Su Rui quests. This makes it impossible for Su Rui to have any excuse to stay here any longer.

"Alright, let's go back to the city!" Su Rui really couldn't find an excuse to stay in Donghai Town any longer, and it wouldn't be right for the two of them to stay here all the time.

After making up their minds to return to the city, Su Rui and Feng Lixi began to cast the return spell. Although coming to Donghai Town was quite troublesome, returning to Xuanwu City was relatively easy.

With two flashes of white light, Su Rui and Feng Lixi returned to Xuanwu City.

"Let's go find the city lord to hand in the mission first!" Su Rui took a deep breath. Since he was already back, he might as well make the best of it. His heart was at ease.

I completed the escort mission for the villagers, but the reward hasn't been settled yet. I need to go find Lord Daryl.

Carrying the token engraved with the letters F·S, Su Rui and Feng Lixi returned to the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, Su Rui found that Xuanwu City was already very lively. The streets were filled with players who wandered between shops to buy the supplies they needed, or entered and exited the Mercenary Guild to accept different missions and then go out of the city to train.

Xuanwu City is a very large main city. According to the system's estimates, it will be able to accommodate around 100,000 players, allowing them to progress from level 10 to level 50. Once the average level of the majority of players exceeds level 50, higher-level maps will be unlocked.

"We wish to request an audience with the City Lord!" Su Rui said politely to the guards at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Get out of the way, you bastards! The city lord has no time for someone like you!" the guard said rudely. Because Su Rui's reputation with the city lord Daryl was very low, almost to the level of indifference, the guards at the city lord's mansion were naturally not very polite to him.

"I hope you can show this to the city lord!" Su Rui didn't care about the guard's attitude, because he knew that the guard was not an intelligent NPC; he was just talking to him based on reputation.

"This is..." When Su Rui took out the F·S token, the guard was indeed stunned. He accepted the token very respectfully and said to Su Rui, "Wait here! I'll be right back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard turned and ran into the city lord's mansion. About a minute later, the guard hurriedly ran out.

"The city lord has granted you permission to enter!" a guard told Su Rui.

"Okay!" Su Rui nodded, then led Feng Lixi into the city lord's mansion.

Having been here before, Su Rui knew the way well, and he quickly led Feng Lixi to the door of the hall.

After stepping into the hall, Su Rui saw City Lord Daril holding a token and waiting for him. Before Su Rui could speak, City Lord Daril walked up and asked anxiously.

"Mercenary, where did you get this?" Lord Daryl asked anxiously.

"This is what someone told me to bring to you to collect my reward after I finished a mission," Su Rui briefly described the escort mission.

"Where is Marshal Salo now?" Daryl grabbed Su Rui's shoulder and asked, his expression extremely excited.

“Salo? Marshal!?” Su Rui was dumbfounded. He never expected that the old village chief who had been living in seclusion in Sigma Village was actually a marshal!

“Yes! Marshal Francis Salo is a hero of the Empire. He resigned from his military post due to his injuries and then went into seclusion. No one knows where he went, but this token belongs to him!” Daryl said.

"Wow! It's such a big shot!" Su Rui gasped, then said to Daryl, "His daughter-in-law died at the hands of the undead, and his son committed suicide because of excessive grief. Marshal Salo should be going to seek revenge on the undead now."

"Undead! Damn undead again!" Daryl glared at Su Rui. After all, this guy was also a wizard who created undead. But judging from the current situation, this kid didn't seem to be an evil person. And because of his mother's dying wish, Daryl only glared at Su Rui.

"You can leave now. I'll have someone deliver the reward to you!" Daryl waved his hand. Although Su Rui had brought back news of Marshal Salo, he was still filled with disgust for Su Rui, this evil wizard.
