Since the system became my girlfriend

"Perhaps it's just that the young lady is used to being spoiled and likes to have everything under control..." Su Rui shrugged. Signing this agreement didn't have a big impact on him. If you don't consider the frustration he felt when he was threatened by the Iron Palm technique, Boss Su would actually be quite willing to have someone take care of him in these aspects.

Moreover, having one's girlfriend take over the trivial matters of daily life is actually a relief for a man, although Su Rui finds it hard to accept the way Feng Lixi asks for authorization.

Since things had come to this point and there was no escaping it, Su Rui simply stopped thinking about it. He rubbed his face, then lay down in the game pod. A moment later, Su Rui reappeared at the entrance of the Fantasy Colors store, where Feng Lixi was already waiting for him, unsurprisingly.

While Feng Lixi and Su Rui reunited in the game, Feng Lixi was also busy at home. She first scanned the authorization documents, then uploaded backups, and then locked the original documents in a safe. After obtaining the relevant authorizations, she put the training plan she had initially designed for Su Rui on the agenda.

……

Back in the game, when Su Rui saw Feng Lixi again, he was suddenly at a loss. He didn't know how to interact with the girl anymore. Before, Feng Lixi had always been a submissive and obedient girl, doing whatever Su Rui said. But now that he knew that this girl actually had a queen hidden inside her, Su Rui dared not make any decisions on his own anymore.

“Let’s go! Let’s go exchange the property first!” Su Rui was hesitating when Feng Lixi took the initiative to speak. After revealing her queen-like nature, Feng Lixi no longer hid anything and began to take charge of the two’s itinerary.

Although Feng Lixi sometimes acts coquettishly like a little woman, she only indulges in that sweet feeling. Most of the time, she is still the queen who controls everything!

"Oh!" Su Rui nodded. Under the threat of the Iron Sand Palm, Boss Su suddenly became submissive and dependent...

Soon, the two crossed the central square and arrived at the city hall on the left side of the city lord's mansion.

Upon entering the city hall, Su Rui found it very deserted, as the players were still at a relatively low level and had not yet had much interaction with the NPCs.

Soon, Su Rui found the governor in charge of city affairs.

“Your Excellency, Lord Daryl has granted me a house deed, and I would like to exchange it for real estate,” Su Rui said as he stepped forward.

"Hmm!" The governor took the deed and examined it carefully.

"That's right, this is indeed a property deed for this city." The governor nodded, then said to Su Rui, "Mercenary, you've gained the city lord's favor so quickly; you truly have a bright future!"

"Thank you for your praise, Your Excellency. Can I exchange the property now?" Su Rui asked.

"Of course you can. Please select your property coordinates. You can choose any property within the green area!" With a wave of his hand, the governor displayed a map of Xuanwu City in front of Su Rui. Most of the areas were red, indicating that the properties there were either of higher quality and Su Rui's property deeds could not be exchanged, or they were areas not open to players, so he could not choose them.

The green areas represent lower-level properties. Although they are smaller in size, they serve the same function as larger properties, allowing mercenary groups to unlock upgrade features.

“Let’s choose this place!” Feng Lixi stepped forward from behind Su Rui, pointed, and selected a property near the central square.

"Mercenaries, are you sure you want to choose this place?" the governor asked.

"Uh... I'm sure..." Su Rui glanced back at Feng Lixi. The girl looked calm. After considering the power of the Iron Sand Palm, Su Rui didn't say anything else and nodded directly.

"Okay! I'll process the paperwork for you right away!" The governor nodded and then granted the property to Su Rui.

The property chosen by Feng Lixi is located on a secondary street next to the central square. Because of its corner location, the entrance can actually be moved to the side of the square, so that the property can be used as a shop, and it is a prime shop near the central square!

Of course, the price of a good location is that the property is one of the smaller ones available. However, players are just playing a game and not actually living in it, so this flaw does not affect its value.

"Ding! You have lost your property deed!"

"Ding! You have acquired ownership of property number 0541! Congratulations, you have become the first player to own property!"

"Ding! I am the first player to own property, and I have earned the achievement - Settling Down and Living in Peace!"

"Ding! Because you are the first player to own property, the system is gifting you a set of basic furniture!"

"Ding! You have obtained a simple furniture set!"

A series of system notifications appeared before Su Rui's eyes. Apart from the announcement of unlocking the achievement, which was broadcast to the entire server, the other notifications could only be seen by Su Rui himself.

"I'll go! What's going on?!"

"Real estate...so early?"

"Yeah! I wonder which city that kid is from, he actually got such incredible luck!"

"It's me? I think I'm a professional gamer, I have a vague memory of that guy."

"I don't know, but he's definitely not on the top-tier player list, so he's probably a third-rate professional player..."

Ordinary players discussed it amongst themselves, but they were mainly envious. After that, everyone went back to doing their quests and grinding monsters. They didn't know Su Rui anyway, and seeing this announcement was like seeing someone win the lottery on TV. They would express a few words of envy and then move on. Nobody paid much attention to it.

……

"Go and find out which city this person is from. If he's from the same city as us, see if the property can be transferred. If not, let him establish a mercenary group and become a puppet leader. The price is negotiable."

"Yes! Boss!"

"Investigate! Find out who this person is!"

"A third-rate professional gamer who used to work for a gold farming studio, but later went solo after gaining some fame."

"That makes things easier. Let's see if he's in Xuanwu City. If he is, we'll try to win him over. This property is very important in the early stages, so money isn't a problem!"

……

Unlike ordinary players, some top professional players and large guilds that have joined "Source" are getting restless. They really need this property. If it's not in the same city, then there's nothing they can do. For a considerable period of time, players will be unable to reach other major cities.

However, if it's within the same city, those big guilds or top professional players won't miss the convenience that this property brings. As for the profits from opening a shop, these big shots don't care at all, because they don't lack money at all. What they need are mercenary groups of level two or above, because higher-level mercenary groups can take on more difficult missions.
