Since the system became my girlfriend

Chapter 183 Equipment

"Ah!" As Su Rui poured the bucket of water down, Grand Marshal Salo was jolted awake.

He looked around blankly at first, and when he saw Su Rui, he was clearly stunned for a moment.

"What are you looking at! You want something for splashing me?" Su Rui shouted angrily before he could finish, afraid that Marshal Salo might suddenly say, "What are you doing here?" Then he would be in big trouble.

"Hmph!" Salo reacted quickly. Just like when he was humiliated before, he simply snorted and turned his head away, ignoring Su Rui.

"Oh! You've got quite a temper!" Su Rui sneered, then walked to Salo's side and said in a low voice, "Grand Marshal, I'm here to rescue you. Please cooperate. Please forgive me if I offend you in any way!"

"Hehe, little guy, I'm already incredibly grateful that you came to save me. Don't worry, I'll cooperate with you," Salo said in a similarly low voice.

"Old man, I heard you used to be pretty awesome!" Su Rui walked up to Salo and said loudly, though he was obviously saying this to the Brotherhood members.

"Hahaha……"

"This kid... he's really something..."

……

The fraternity members on night duty burst into laughter at Su Rui's arrogant demeanor.

"Old man, bark like a dog a few times and I'll let you off the hook, or you'll suffer the consequences!" Su Rui said.

"Pah!" Marshal Salo spat fiercely.

"Dare to spit on me? Go to hell!" Su Rui stepped forward and kicked Salo right in the chest.

"Bang!" Salo fell backward and crashed into the wooden cage. Due to the inertia, a section of the sealing nail in his third vertebra was shaken out.

"Hmph!" Marshal Salo grunted. Su Rui's kick was quite heavy, and he was currently in a weakened state, so this grunt was not an act.

"Still not begging for mercy? I'll teach you to not beg for mercy!" Su Rui kicked him twice more, forcing out the sealing nails on Marshal Salo's back.

"Grand Marshal, how many sealing nails do you have in total?" Su Rui asked.

“Four… there’s one more on top of your head…” Salo said in a low voice.

"Damn it! Ramtso is still wary of me!" Su Rui cursed under his breath, then shouted, "Old man, aren't you supposed to be tough? Don't you dare back down later!"

"Hmph! You think you're worthy!" Salo sneered, then whispered to Su Rui, "The sealing nail above his head, Ramtso, doesn't know..."

"I see..." Su Rui nodded, then continued to curse and kick Marshal Salo.

The space inside the wooden cage was limited, and Salo rolled around on the ground, but he couldn't escape Su Rui's attacks. He was covered in mud and water, so it was impossible to tell whether the nails were still there or not.

As Su Rui kicked down, one nail after another was forced out of Marshal Salo's body, until only the nail on his head remained.

"Grand Marshal, if I help you get rid of the thorn in your side now, can you take them down?" Su Rui asked.

“I’m afraid that won’t work yet; my equipment is still in their hands,” Salo said.

"I see. Well, then you'll have to put up with this for a while, Grand Marshal." Su Rui nodded, then continued to curse loudly.

"Alright! Be careful!" Marshal Salo nodded.

Su Rui didn't immediately help Salo break the seal, because even then, he wouldn't be able to regain his full strength and defeat the Brotherhood members. So Su Rui had to steal the equipment first; otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for him to forcibly remove the nail from his head.

"That old bastard's really tough!" Su Rui left Marshal Salo behind, then returned to the campfire, panting heavily.

At this moment, there was an exquisite box next to Lhamo Tso. It was unclear what was inside, but it looked like Marshal Salo's equipment.

"How was it? Did you enjoy it?" Ramtso asked with a smile when he saw Su Rui return. He didn't care whether Salo had been beaten up or not. As long as the old guy was alive and well, his mission was accomplished.

Because Marshal Salo was covered in mud and water and was trapped in the wooden cage, neither Ramtso nor his Brotherhood members noticed that three of the sealing nails on his body were missing.

If the last sealing nail hadn't been on his head, preventing Su Rui from using the beating as an opportunity to remove it, he would have removed all the sealing nails from Marshal Salo's body in one go.

"That was awesome! Now I'll have a lot to brag about when I get back!" Su Rui said with a smug look on his face.

“That’s right, beating up Marshal Salo, that’s not something everyone gets the chance to do,” Ramtso said with a smile.

"Hey? Brother Lhamo Tso, what's in that box next to you?" Su Rui asked, feigning curiosity.

"This...?" Ramtso grabbed the box and said proudly as he opened it, "These are all Marshal Salo's equipment. They'll be worth a lot of money after the mission is complete!"

"What kind of treasures are there? Can I take a look?" Su Rui continued to feign curiosity.

"Why not? Let's take a look!" Ramtso had no suspicion at all. After all, Su Rui's identity as an evil wizard was too conspicuous, and no one suspected that he was there to rescue people.

"Really?" Su Rui asked excitedly.

"Of course!" Lhamo Tso opened the box immediately.

Su Rui snatched the sword from inside. This was the sword he had brought back to give to Marshal Salo, and it was because of this sword that Marshal Salo learned of his son's death.

"This sword is amazing!" Su Rui said after drawing the sword and swinging it around a few times.

“Of course, this is the Salo family’s heirloom sword, how could it not be powerful?” Ramtso said with a proud look.

"Brother, can you sell me this thing?" Su Rui asked.

"What do you want it for?" Ramtso asked. In his eyes, Su Rui was an evil wizard and a spellcaster. This kind of longsword was useless to him. Moreover, even if Su Rui could get it, he wouldn't be able to lift it without being at least level 70 or 80.

“I love collecting these things! Give them to me, I’ll pay whatever price you ask!” Su Rui said with a smile.

"I really don't dare to give this to you. After all, this thing doesn't belong to me. Even if Salo dies in the future, this thing will still belong to the Brotherhood." To Su Rui's surprise, Ramtso did not agree to his suggestion.

"What about the others?" Su Rui was still unwilling to give up; he was still thinking about other equipment.

“Nothing else will do either, these also belong to the Brotherhood,” Ramtso said.

"I see..." Su Rui seemed somewhat disappointed.

“But it’s no problem to let you wear it for a bit, but you can’t go far,” Ramtso said to Su Rui when he saw the disappointment on his face.
