The system handed me over to the state.

"So...you want me to teach this guy a lesson?"

"That's right! You're so strong, you could easily defeat a mere Master Group member!"

Bronya blinked, and at that moment Alicia seemed to sense a change, leaning closer to Bronya. "Bronya, I feel... something seems to have changed about you?"

"Is there?"

Bronya's expression remained cold and indifferent, while Eden, standing beside her, smiled and handed her a prepared cocktail. Bronya shook her head, "Sorry, I can't drink. I'm still a child."

"Eh... Does the Herrscher really say he's still a child?"

Alicia chuckled beside her, while Bronya nodded seriously, "I've only been a Herrscher for 17 years, still a minor."

Of course, this isn't Bronya's future age, nor is it her current age; it's her current age as Bronya. And if we're being really precise, she's probably one year old now, maybe even less than two months old...

"17 years old? That's really young. Can you tell me why you became a Herrscher?"

Eden was only slightly surprised by Bronya's age. After all, the government of the previous civilization had also forced young people to the battlefield. The Fire Moths had done the same thing. These were all desperate measures in the face of the Honkai.

Bronya shook her head. What else could she say? That she suddenly became a Herrscher, and that she had even lived as a man for over 20 years before that?

With a soft sigh, Alicia tilted her head. "You look... very sad. Was becoming a Herrscher a very sad thing for you?"

"In a sense, it is indeed a very sad thing."

Seeing Bronya's blank expression, Eden and Alicia decisively gave up on the topic, while Bronya focused her attention on the game console in front of her.

"You just said you wanted me to beat this guy up for you?"

"That's right, that's right! Just give her a beating! Hehe, let her know I have someone backing me up!"

Bronya turned around, blinked, and finally nodded, her blue eyes revealing a serious expression. Playing games is all about winning! And winning beautifully!

Meanwhile, on Earth, in a student dormitory at Fog University, a handsome young man sat in front of his computer, looking at the matchmaking results with a hint of surprise. "Isn't this that newbie from the Master group? How come I'm matched with him again? This is so boring..."

The boy seemed uninterested. How could a P who only knows how to use his ultimate move possibly defeat someone like him, a representative of the dark side of Tyrannosaurus Rex?

With this in mind, he entered the game. As soon as the game started, he habitually typed the letters GL, and the other party replied almost instantly, possibly even at the same time. Then the message appeared, but the other party's message was... HF.

The man subconsciously remembered the rumors circulating in the community about dogs, and he relaxed, thinking he should just give it a shot; that would make them too easy to deal with.

Operations, disciplined defense, reconnaissance... hmm?

Suddenly, the man realized something was wrong—it was the operational process, not a single wave.

Just as he was confused, an alarm suddenly sounded in his ear. He turned around and saw that the enemy's scout was attacking his peasant who was building a structure. It was a standard process of disruption. After dragging out his strongest melee unit to defend, he continued to follow his own plan: choke bunker, tank, Viking, three bases. Everything was in his calculations. His probability of winning this game was 1000%!

Just as he was feeling smug, an alarm suddenly sounded in his ear again. He immediately switched back to the screen and saw that several of his farmers were exploding and disappearing in a golden sphere of light.

This... self-destruct ball harassment?

This unusual and rare method of harassment surprised the man, but it didn't matter! Just a few farmers? He immediately summoned his Viking fighter and headed straight for their escape route... Holy crap! How is this Prism so fast? Did they upgrade their speed boost?

This is illogical! How did their technology advance so quickly? At this point in time, they not only produced a Prism and a Suicide Ball, but also upgraded their speed-up technology. They must have fewer units on the front lines! Hmph! Well, then it's his turn!

He'd already taken down that technological construct etched into his DNA, oh my god! I warp in and summon the Terran's ultimate weapon, appear, battlecruiser...

Then he saw the dozens of pursuers below them...

Holy crap! How come there are Stalkers? What happened to the tech-focused harassment strategy with few direct combat units? And it's not the Protoss's most common Void Ray/Void Ray combo, but Void Ray/Void Ray combo?

As his Yamato, which had used its warp jump, exploded under the relentless pursuit of the hunters, he realized that this opponent was definitely not simple! Was his previous "rookie" performance just an act of feigning weakness?

Meanwhile... inside the rest room of Paradise, Alicia stared blankly at Bronya, whose hands were dancing across the keyboard, utterly astonished. So...so fast, and the screen switching speed was so fast too.

She suddenly realized that Bronya might have held back a lot when she fought her.

Eden watched with a smile from behind. At that moment, another person walked into the lounge. She was a pink-clad girl in blue and white armor with a blue katana at her waist. When she entered the lounge and saw Bronya and Alicia engrossed in their work, she was clearly stunned.

“This…Eden, this is…”

The pink-haired girl was very surprised, because she sensed... a Herrscher, that gray-haired girl was a Herrscher?!

Eden smiled and pushed a cup of cherry blossom wine in front of Sakura. "You're here, Sakura. Shall we rest?"

Sakura nodded. "What...are they doing?"

Listening to the clatter of the mechanical keyboard and hearing Alicia's constant exclamations and calls, Sakura was momentarily...surprised. The lounge hadn't been this lively in a long time...

"They're playing a game. Alicia was bullied by other players, and Bronya is helping her get revenge."

"Find... a confrontation..."

Sakura watched the rapid flashing on the screen and Bronya's waving hands, thinking that this Herrscher must be incredibly fast.

It is indeed very fast in a sense, so fast that you can't even see its back.

Twenty minutes later, Bronya won the match after her opponent typed "GG". Bronya then entered matchmaking again, while Alicia stood by, stunned, and muttered, "Wow...so strong..."

Bronya nodded. "The opponent is very strong, but I am stronger than him. Moreover, urbanization is sometimes a very passive and reactive combat strategy. You just need to take the initiative, and you can easily defeat the opponent."

Alicia rolled her eyes. "Simple.jpg, nobody believes that!"

Chapter 19: Mount Taixu

The following period was not very peaceful for Bronya, and she also felt a little tormented. The reason was simple: a year had passed... Although a year in the Honkai world was only equivalent to half a year in her own country's world, she still felt tormented.

Originally, the mission could have been completed easily, but now she has encountered a bottleneck. The goal of the mission is to use five sets of armor to pass the True difficulty level of 140. Her own Herrscher of Reason, Herrscher of Thunder, and Luna Kindred, as well as Seele's Twin Souls, have all successfully passed the True difficulty level, but she is stuck on the last one, Herrscher of Thunder.

This puzzled Bronya. Logically speaking, the Herrscher of Thunder should be the easiest... so why was she stuck by the Herrscher of Thunder?

Moreover... the system has updated a setting, so she cannot claim the rewards until she completes the main objective. In other words, even if the rewards she has now are enough to directly enable the country to ascend from a planetary civilization to a cosmic civilization, she will not be able to claim these rewards if she fails to complete the main mission.

In the end, Bronya could only attribute the problem to the swordsmanship wielded by the Herrscher of Thunder.

After all, she was very familiar with her own Herrscher power, while the other three armors did not have any particularly systematic tactics or combat skills. On the contrary, Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder, had integrated all the swordsmanship and physical skills she knew into her power.

Every movement she made, every swing of her sword, was imbued with this power. Perhaps this was why I hadn't been able to fully utilize the Herrscher of Thunder to clear the game. Tsk... this system really set a trap. Did I really have to learn swordsmanship to clear the game?

Even if I wanted to study on my own, who would I go to? Sakura? Unlikely...

After thinking it over for a long time, Bronya finally realized that... should she ask Mei to teach her swordsmanship?

Bronya wasn't really keen... She preferred the sweeping, powerful swordsmanship of her own country. If that was the case, she'd rather learn the Void Sword Qi from the class monitor than learn Mei's swordsmanship.

After the matter was settled, Bronya decided to set off for Mount Taixu. She hoped she might be lucky enough to run into the class monitor, or even if she didn't... she could still learn on her own from the ancient texts preserved on Mount Taixu.

Bronya has basically decided that if she wants to clear the game as the Herrscher of Thunder, she either needs to find a new way out in her own way, such as learning the Void Sword Technique to express the power of the Herrscher of Thunder in a new way, or... to replicate, learn and copy.

Therefore, Bronya chose to create her own creation as a small test for herself.

After making her decision, Bronya bid farewell to Alicia, who was engrossed in the gaming world, and rode her beloved little motorcycle, transforming into a streak of blue light as she headed straight for the distant land of China.

Three days later, Bronya landed safely. The little rabbit behind her sensed something unusual and, instead of going into the void, stayed in reality to protect Bronya.

Bronya quickly noticed some anomalies in the environment surrounding Mount Taixu. Was this... Honkai energy?

That shouldn't be the case... At this point, the class monitor is only seventeen or eighteen years away from awakening the treasure-hunting ability. Could it be that his appearance has accelerated the entire plot?

Bronya looked around and could sense the Honkai energy all around her, but she couldn't see any Honkai Beasts or zombies. Was she just overthinking it?

With a hint of doubt, Bronya sat in the little rabbit's palm and headed deeper into Mount Taixu. The path between the upper parts of the mountain seemed to have been hidden by weeds and was almost invisible because no one had walked on it for a long time. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and even if they had, it was very rare.

Continuing deeper into the void, following an almost invisible path, after about three hours of rapid travel, Bronya and Rabbit arrived at a small village that looked abandoned.

The village's buildings were already dilapidated, and judging from their style, they were from a very, very long time ago. Bronya shook her head. In her scan, there was nothing useful in the village. Continuing on, around noon, Bronya finally arrived at the place where the squad leader had once lived.

Unlike the construction in the game, the environment here is beautiful. However, due to the growth of the natural environment, the originally well-trimmed vegetation has been destroyed. Rather than a neat Taoist temple, it is more like a landscape occupied by nature.

Beautiful scenery and pleasant environment—if possible, I'd like to have a place like this when I retire... Well, basically most people in China hope to live in a place like this in the future, but Bronya feels she might not have that thought. She prefers a life filled with futuristic technology.

Pushing open the gate of the Taoist temple in front of her, she found it unlocked. Inside, the ground was free of fallen leaves, and the vegetation and flowers had been trimmed. The area in front of the building had also been swept. Seeing this, Bronya guessed that the class monitor must have only been back for a short while.

Passing through the main gate of the temple and entering the room at the back, the first room was the study. There were many books on the bookshelves, and they had an antique feel to them. After browsing through them briefly, Bronya put the books back.

The class monitor clearly prefers this quiet and peaceful environment...

"Bronya...?"

Suddenly, a voice from behind startled Bronya. Turning around, she was surprised to find her class monitor standing behind her in that familiar purple training uniform. The heavily armored bunny behind her instantly became alert, but Bronya held it down. "It's been a long time, class monitor."

Fu Hua's gaze was slightly complicated. "Who... exactly are you? Bronya's sister, or... her mother?"

Bronya froze instantly... "Who...who told you that?"

"Kiana, she said you're very likely Bronya's biological mother...it seems that's not the case?"

Bronya opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. Kiana... this troublemaker who never misses a chance to cause trouble. Well, right, the current Kiana isn't that mature white fluffy ball yet; she's still essentially a paramecium.

"No... I've never even been in a relationship, how could I possibly get married and have children... But class monitor, I was surprised to see you here. I thought you had already left."

Although they hadn't seen each other for a year, and their last meeting was marked by a fierce fight, the two surprisingly didn't actually fight. After all, Bronya didn't seem hostile; in fact, she seemed friendly, which was why Fu Hua didn't want to take action.

"So...you're Bronya's sister?"

Fu Hua continued to ask with suspicion, and Bronya shook her head, "Things are a bit complicated. If you don't mind, Class Monitor, let's sit down and talk about it slowly."

Chapter 20: Different Worlds

"So you were...from the future?"

"What kind of future could have led you to become the Herrscher of Reason?"

"And what... what happened to us? Kiana, Mei, Headmistress Theresa, Teacher Himeko, Otto and the others, how are they? What will the future of this world be like?"

Bronya shook her head. "I'm sorry, class monitor, I can't say. If I were to speak of these futures now, then the world and your future would inevitably follow the trajectory I've described, and you would have to experience the sadness and despair."

"So... I can't say."

Fu Hua lowered her head. "Then how did you come to this era? A time machine? Or... the power of a Herrscher?"

Fu Hua was very curious about Bronya's reasons for coming to this world, how she came to this world, and what she would do if she met Bronya in this world.

Bronya picked up the teacup in front of her and slowly drank the tea. Hmm...this is really good. This must be the best tea I've ever had.

"Squad leader, these tea leaves smell wonderful, how were they made?"

"This is a wild tea tree growing on the cliff at the top of Mount Taixu. The yield is enough for me to drink by myself. Do you want some? I can give you some."
