Since the system became my girlfriend

"Let's go, let's go get the mission!" Feng Lixi said to Su Rui. In the past ten minutes or so, the girl tried to pull her hand back, but Su Rui was shameless enough to hold on tightly. Since Feng Lixi had agreed to be Su Rui's girlfriend, she was too embarrassed to struggle too much, so Su Rui got to enjoy the benefits for half a day.

"Okay!" Su Rui pulled Feng Lixi towards the old village chief, but didn't hear Feng Lixi's mutterings: "Hmph! Trying to take advantage of me, huh! You'll see later!"

"Dear warrior..." The old village chief was going to give the same standard opening remarks, but before he could finish speaking, a flash of blue light appeared in Feng Lixi's eyes behind Su Rui.

"Brave warrior, I see you have extraordinary bones and must be a remarkable person. Therefore, I have an important matter I would like to ask you to accomplish!" The old village chief's words suddenly changed from what they had said before!

"Huh? A hidden quest?" Su Rui didn't think much of it. As a professional gamer, he was no stranger to hidden quests, so he naturally assumed that this was a hidden quest trigger mode, and only the last person to accept the quest could receive this special quest.

After all, as a normal person, Su Rui could never have imagined that all of this was orchestrated by the "female player" behind him, and that other players in the newbie village, even if they were the last to accept the quest, would not receive any special treatment.

"Warrior, can you help us?" Seeing Su Rui hesitate, the old village chief asked again.

"Of course!" Su Rui immediately accepted the mission. Putting aside how good the rewards of the hidden mission were, given Su Rui's personality as a girl-carrying fanatic, it was absolutely impossible for him to not dare to accept the hidden mission in front of Feng Lixi!

“Excellent, warrior! In addition to the threat of wild beasts to the east, our village is also entrenched by a group of bandits to the west. Can you help us deal with those bandits?” the old village chief asked.

“Of course!” Su Rui replied immediately.

"That's wonderful! We'll definitely repay you handsomely when you return victorious!" the old village chief said excitedly.

"Ding! Mission Update: Eliminate the bandits!"

With a system notification, the details of this task appeared in Su Rui's task list.

Eliminate the bandits: Some vicious mountain bandits have appeared on the west side of the village, constantly harassing the villagers. The old village chief hopes that you can eliminate these bandits.

Mission objective: Eliminate all the bandits.

Quest Level: 1

Difficulty: Extremely low. It is recommended to complete this solo (there is almost no danger; you can complete it with your eyes closed. If you fail, please leave the game and go to a large hospital for a medical examination to rule out the possibility of Down syndrome).

Quest Rewards: 1000 experience points, 20 silver coins, and the old village chief's heirloom dagger.

Special reward: If you discover the bandits' treasure, it will be yours!

"Holy crap! This task is way too easy, but the reward is a bit scary!" Su Rui muttered to himself in surprise. Generally speaking, the reward for a task is linked to its difficulty, but the task description clearly states that this task is extremely simple, but the reward is exceptionally generous.

Putting everything else aside, a thousand experience points alone would be enough for Su Rui to level up three or four levels. Right now, he only needs a hundred experience points to go from level one to level two. Even if there are additional experience points later, this amount of experience would still be enough for him to reach level five!

Twenty silver coins is quite a lot. The initial quests of those players only gave about ten copper coins, while one silver coin is worth a hundred copper coins!

The village chief's heirloom dagger must be at least of excellent quality (green). In a newbie village, this is an extremely rare piece of equipment, and it's a weapon too. Having it will definitely greatly increase Su Rui's leveling speed. As for the bandits' treasure, that's just icing on the cake!

"Such a simple task, yet such a generous reward! Those unlucky guys before me really missed out on a treasure!" Su Rui's thinking was quite conventional. He felt that this was a hidden task, and the difficulty lay in accepting it. Only the lucky ones could enjoy such benefits.

However, Su Rui will soon be able to properly "enjoy" it.

"This task system is quite amusing; it even insults people indirectly..." After reading the task details, Su Rui couldn't help but complain. The content in parentheses in the task prompt was clearly an insult to those who failed to complete the task, calling them idiots...

What Su Rui didn't know was that other people's task systems didn't offer this kind of treatment; the content in parentheses was exclusively for his boss, Su!

"Let's go, the mission is complete, let's set off!" Feng Lixi urged, the girl who had been somewhat aloof just moments before suddenly becoming proactive.

“Okay!” Su Rui still didn’t think much of it. He was convinced of Feng Lixi’s identity as a “player”, so he didn’t think about it in any other way. This led him to attribute Feng Lixi’s change of attitude to the girl’s curiosity about the game.

Holding the girl's soft little hand, Su Rui wasn't in a hurry. He led Feng Lixi strolling leisurely towards the west side of the village. What should have been a five-minute journey took him almost fifteen minutes. The two of them weren't in a hurry at all, but rather just strolling along the road!

At this moment, about 500 meters west of the village, there is a grove of trees. Behind the grove is a clearing. There was nothing there before, but when Su Rui pulled Feng Lixi into the grove, the clearing was filled with flashing white light, and a bandit camp appeared. Immediately afterwards, a large number of humanoid monsters appeared near the camp.

These humanoid monsters, known as "bandits," each had a yellow magic circle under their feet. In the game "Source," this yellow circle represents elite monsters! And what's worse, there wasn't just one elite monster; there were more than thirty humanoid monsters near the camp, all with yellow circles under their feet!

As for the bearded humanoid monster in the main hall of the camp, there's a red magic circle around his feet, marking him as a leader-level BOSS! Although he's the lowest-ranking BOSS, he's still a BOSS! It's supposed to be impossible for a BOSS to exist in the starting village!

When the game first refreshed, the level of the monsters near the camp was displayed as five, meaning that these monsters were all level five elite monsters, while the boss was displayed as level ten!

But when the white light that spawned these monsters ended, whether it was a regular monster or a boss, their level all dropped to level one, and the auras under their feet disappeared. The problem was that they only appeared to be level one and the auras were no longer visible, but their attributes didn't decrease at all. They were still level five elites and level ten bosses!

……

Holding Feng Lixi's small hand, Su Rui and Feng Lixi slowly made their way through the woods. Then Su Rui spotted the camp not far ahead, along with those "level one monsters".

"Hehe, they're all level 1 normal monsters. This quest is really easy." Su Rui had no idea what awaited him ahead.
