Chapter 142: Hard work and hard work
Chapter 142: Hard work and hard work
"Forget it, it's not that serious..." Su Rui smiled. He could understand Hu Bowei's anger, but he himself didn't care much.
Su Rui is just a professional gamer; he's not a gang leader. He wouldn't expect his mercenary group members to act like gangsters, rushing in front of their boss to shield him from harm whenever danger arises.
Especially since the bald little girl had just joined the mercenary group, if he were to kick her out under this pretext, Su Rui knew that his mercenary group would never be able to recruit enough people. He didn't think he had any outstanding charisma or that he was a natural leader who could have followers bowing down to him with just a wave of his hand.
Such a plot only exists in fairy tales and does not exist in reality!
Hu Bowei wanted to jump down and face the monsters with Su Rui and the others because he and Su Rui had been friends for many years. If they had just met, Su Rui didn't think Hu Bowei would have been able to do that.
So Su Rui just smiled at the bald little girl and didn't kick her away. The bald little girl was a little embarrassed, but even if Su Rui didn't kick her, she wouldn't leave the mercenary group. After all, the mercenary group's reputation value was almost full and they would soon advance to the second tier.
Once promoted, mercenary group members will enjoy special privileges when accepting missions. With benefits right in front of them, and since Su Rui didn't say anything, the bald little girl certainly wouldn't leave on her own.
The minor incident passed, and Su Rui didn't bring it up again. Although Hu Bowei was resentful, he didn't say anything more.
"Do we need to do any more tasks?" asked the slightly musty fairy. She felt the atmosphere in the team was a bit awkward, so she changed the subject.
"We definitely can't do this kind of difficult task now. How about we try it tomorrow?" Su Rui said after thinking for a moment. Although one day wasn't enough time for his strength to increase dramatically, it was enough time for the dungeon to cool down.
Once "Hidden Residence" has cooled down, Su Rui will be able to revive Scout Hubert once again and make him his corpse guard. Hubert's ability to summon dogs will greatly increase Su Rui's strength, so perhaps he can try this mission then.
"Alright! Then we'll go level up first. Guild leader, remember to take us with you if you have any good quests!" The fairy with the musty smell said and left the party to go and accept quests to level up.
"Hehe... Guild leader, um... um I'm going to level up too..." The bald little girl chuckled awkwardly and then left the party.
"Who is this person?!" Hu Bowei was still somewhat indignant.
"Alright, you go find somewhere to level up too, I need to log off and eat." Su Rui shrugged and said, his current schedule is strictly regulated.
"So early?" Hu Bo was taken aback. Back when he played games with Su Rui, this guy often ate only one meal a day and often stayed up all night. When did he become so disciplined?
"My wife is very strict!" Su Rui mouthed to Hu Bowei, but Feng Lixi didn't notice because she was behind him.
"Tch! Pathetic!" Hu Bo rolled his eyes, then said to Su Rui, "I'm going to level up now. Remember to call me when we run dungeons tomorrow!"
"Fine, fine, get out of here!" Su Rui kicked Hu Bowei out of the team before he could even leave.
"Damn it! You only dare to treat me like this!" Hu Bo sent an encrypted voice message, but Su Rui ignored him. The two were so close that they could be so unrestrained.
……
Following the schedule customized by Feng Lixi, Su Rui consciously and strictly adhered to it (mainly because Miss Feng was supervising from next door, with her Iron Palm ready at any time, so Boss Su dared not disobey). After completing a day's game content, Su Rui was supervised by Feng Lixi again that night until he was exhausted, and then he quickly fell asleep during Feng Lixi's massage.
The next morning, Su Rui was dragged out of bed again by Feng Lixi and then went out for morning exercise...
After breakfast, Su Rui returned to the game.
"Damn! I used to think playing games was tiring, but now logging off is even more tiring..." Su Rui sighed. Although he knew that Feng Lixi was doing this for his own good, the high-intensity training was really exhausting.
After going online, Su Rui first added Feng Lixi to the team, and then sent a message to Hu Bowei.
"Are you there?" Su Rui asked.
“Yes, I’m here!” Hu Bo replied.
"Join the team, let's go run a dungeon!" Su Rui said as he sent a team invitation.
"Okay!" Hu Bowei immediately agreed.
After Hu Bo joined the team, even though there were only three people in the team, Su Rui didn't plan to recruit any more people. After all, the more people there were, the more equipment and experience would be shared.
After forming a team, the three of them met up and headed straight for the "Hidden Residence" instance. Because this instance was located in Xuanwu City, it was very lively, but also very orderly.
In the past, the entrance to dungeons was often a hotbed of PvP, and sometimes dungeons would even turn into graveyards, with battles so fierce that the entrance to the dungeon would be covered with grave mounds.
However, since "Hidden Residence" is located in Xuanwu City, which is still a controlled area, players who engage in private PvP will be attacked by NPCs. Therefore, although there are many arguments here, very few actually dare to fight.
"High-attack rogue looking for a dungeon group!"
"The Hidden Residence is missing one player! Come and help!"
……
As soon as Su Rui arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, his ears were filled with shouts. Although it was still morning, there were already quite a few players online, and some of them had stayed up all night, so it was already very lively.
"Let's go in!" Su Rui called to Hu Bowei and was about to enter the dungeon when a player suddenly approached.
"Dude, your team isn't complete, can you take me with you? I'm a high-damage hunter, and my pet will be obedient and won't aggro any monsters!" A boy who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old approached Su Rui and said.
“We have enough people!” Hu Bo said bluntly. Hunters also wear leather armor when they are low-level, so there is an equipment conflict with his. Su Rui can clear dungeons, so of course he doesn’t want to bring a stranger to compete with him for equipment.
"Uh...aren't there only three of you? Can you take me with you?" The hunter didn't stand on ceremony and kept begging and pleading.
"Maybe next time!" Su Rui said, then prepared to enter the dungeon. He was only interested in carrying girls, not guys.
"Hey buddy, give me a chance, okay? I won't fight him for the equipment, alright?" The hunter said, grabbing Su Rui's arm. At this stage, the hunter's position was very awkward. Without a pet, they had no damage, and with a pet, they would randomly attract monsters. So, almost no one would take them to dungeons. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so shameless in sticking to him.
