The system handed me over to the state.

"What is it? Tell me."

The two asked in unison, exchanged a glance, and Bronya shrugged, saying, "It's nothing. What I mean is, aside from Seele, shouldn't the two of us try to control the...property damage caused by each battle?"

Hei hope tilted her head, "I can't do it!"

"Hey! Why?"

Bronya was immediately alarmed. This was bad! Did she have to fight with her hands tied?

"Because that... is too painful. Rather than fighting with my hands tied, I'd rather go and fight those two monsters in the Quantum Sea and tell them that even if all my wages are deducted to cover my losses, I won't restrict myself!"

"Then you won't be able to support yourself?"

Hei hope chuckled and looked at Bronya, saying, "Don't I still have you, my rich wife, to support me? If all else fails, I can go to Tong Xi and Yu Xin's place to freeload. They should... be very welcoming, right?"

Blackie winked at Bronya, who felt a little annoyed. It was as if she was the one who was abusing her money by going to her friend's house to freeload instead of eating at home.

"you...."

Bronya stared at Blackie, speechless for a moment, unsure what to say. Finally, she decisively raised her hands in surrender, saying, "You win... From now on, let's fight as usual..."

Bronya sighed. She had moved out of Yuxin and Tongxi's place so that she could have some alone time with her, but... Seele just barged in and moved in too. And her reason was perfectly legitimate and unassailable: she was Bronya's protector, and protectors protect guides. To ensure Bronya's safety, she moved in with them, which was what she should do.

I have absolutely no idea how to refute this. Plus, Black Seele gave Seele a break half a year ago, and now Seele is becoming increasingly aggressive in competing with me for her.

Every day, Bronya is fed by both of them, which is a daily occurrence. At night, the question of who should sleep on her side is also a nightly occurrence.

In short, Bronya was numb... numb, completely numb.

Chapter 210: You're sleeping on the sofa tonight!

"Everyone's here, Ms. Bronya. Shall we begin immediately, or... wait a little longer?"

A female soldier handed the roster to Bronya. Bronya took it but didn't look at it immediately. Instead, she asked, "How are they all doing?"

"They were very excited when they learned that they could become your subordinates. To be honest, they had been holding back for a long time and had always wanted to participate in the defensive battle against the Shadow Kingdom's attack, but they had never had the opportunity."

"The girls spent three days competing for these 15 spots... and only then were 15 people selected. You can rest assured that these 15 people are the best of the best among all of us, whether in terms of ability or... personality!"

Bronya nodded. Regarding psychic abilities, a somewhat strange problem had arisen. After training and developing according to Yuri's method, male psychic abilities were superior to females in the early stages, but when they reached a certain bottleneck, the male psychic abilities were stuck.

Female ability users are actually more likely to break through this bottleneck, which has led to a majority of powerful psychic ability users being women. In fact, within this team composed of high-level psychic ability users, the ratio of women to men is a terrifying 35:1.

As for why there were no men this time, it's somewhat sad to say that the existing high-level male psychic abilities users... are all no match for the girls in the military.

"Really, not a single male player was able to get a shot?"

Bronya sighed, and the female soldier beside her helplessly spread her hands, "It's clear they tried their best, but they really can't win."

Nodding, Bronya was certain that things couldn't continue like this. With a population of 16 billion, there would always be some people who were crazy enough to be someone else's tool, or whose thought processes were just naturally different from ordinary people.

Given their intelligence, if this matter were to be made public, it would absolutely become a tool to bolster their image as women, allowing them to elevate women to the highest level. Coupled with the existence of Empress Su Mengyao, those guys would inevitably launch a targeted online war against men in the country sooner or later.

"The situation... is still quite serious..."

"Captain, are you referring to... the issue of the power imbalance between women and men in the country?"

Bronya paused, turned her head, and asked in surprise, "You know?"

The female soldier nodded. "Yes, I did learn a bit about these things back home during my leave, and I'll never forget what the taxi driver said to me when I took the taxi back then..."

Bronya raised an eyebrow. "What did you say?"

"After I got in the car, he spoke to me very seriously, showing me my driver's license, order information, and the in-car camera, and he was very serious."

The female soldier pretended to be serious, "Girl, let me tell you in advance, I won't touch you. If you are carrying any knives or sharp objects, please get out of the car immediately. I won't give you a ride. There are cameras in the car, and everything you do and say will be recorded. Don't be impulsive, and don't do anything wrong. If you're unhappy, I'll give you the car, and you can find someone else to drive it."

The female soldier's expression was helpless and complicated. "I... I really didn't know what to say at the time. His desire to survive was so strong, it was as if I would pull out a knife and stab him the next second."

"I really... don't know what to say."

Bronya reached out and patted the female soldier on the shoulder, sighing, "It's alright, this problem will be resolved. The country won't stand idly by."

Bronya spoke these words with great seriousness and conviction. She believed that the country would resolve this issue, and that those who stirred up trouble, spread rumors, and created chaos would be punished. Moreover, the punishment might not only come from state authorities, but also from their own lives.

As for the gender imbalance among psychic abilities, she didn't care much about it, because psychic abilities are backed by psychic powers, and the current strength of psychic abilities doesn't mean that the development of psychic powers will be smooth sailing.

At least... the fact that she hasn't reached level 9 psionic power in the past six months clearly proves this point.

Despite possessing the dual talents of both Herrscher of Reason and Contractor, Bronya felt that the slow development of her psionic energy was due to the somewhat mixed nature of the powers within her body.

If you focus on cultivating only one type of power, you might progress faster and better.

"Alright, that's enough of that. This isn't something we combat personnel should be discussing. Go tell them to get ready."

"Understood, I'll go and get them ready."

The female soldiers left temporarily, and Bronya returned to her previous room, handing the roster to Blackie and Seele, saying, "Take a look beforehand and see if there's anyone you like. You can choose in advance, and we can discuss any conflicts."

Seele asked疑惑地, "Sister Bronya, aren't we going to choose them first?"

Bronya shook her head. "There's no need. I can take any kind of team members, so you can choose first. If you really can't decide, then give the choice to them."

To be honest, if the choice were given to them, she would feel like she was on... The Voice of China.

Captain Bronya lit up for this teammate! Ah! Captain Black Seele lit up too! Captain Seele lit up too, what fierce competition this is!

Let's see... this player's choice is... B! Lo! Ni! Ya! Captain! Congratulations to player XX!

Hmm... there's always this strange feeling...

Bronya's expression turned slightly awkward. Never mind, she thought, she should think about other things instead.

However, something unexpected happened to Bronya: neither Black Seele nor Seele made a choice, so now they had to let the team members choose their own captain, because Bronya herself didn't know who to choose!

She didn't know a single person there! How was she supposed to choose?! And if she specifically chose someone, wouldn't that make it seem to Hei Xi and Xi'er that she had feelings for her, or her, or her? She'd definitely be sleeping on the sofa that night! No way!

"Then let's go with that plan and let them choose their own captain."

"Well, that's the only way. But what if more than five people choose the same person?"

Blackie suddenly asked, and Bronya was taken aback. "Yeah, what if more than five people choose the same person?"

Bronya scratched her head slightly, spread her hands, and said helplessly, "Then I can only tell two of them, 'Sorry, you have to go to the other captains,' otherwise... you'll have to take more than five people with you!"

I think you can do it.

Black Seele turned her head, Bronya was stunned, and Seele said with some uncertainty, "If... if it's Bronya... even if she were chosen by 15 people at the same time... it's still very possible, right?"

Bronya's expression instantly turned aggrieved. "No! You can't do this to me! We agreed that as partners, we would share the burdens!"

"No one wants to share this kind of burden! Good luck, we believe in you!"

Chapter 211: Bronya: Is there a girl trying to cheat on me?

Fortunately, thanks to Bronya's pleas, Black Seele had not yet left with Seele, and the plan for the team members to choose their own captain was also communicated to the female soldier.

Upon learning of this plan, the female soldier was surprised. She hadn't expected the commander to use such a method to let the team members choose her. What if more than five team members chose the same commander?

Forget it, these things aren't her problem to worry about. Let the captain and the others figure it out. They must have considered this issue before proposing this plan. She doesn't need to dwell on these problems.

The female soldiers then went to a large hall on the side, where 15 selected female psychic abilities users were waiting for news. Upon seeing their captain emerge, the 15 immediately stood up and asked, "Captain! Is there...is there any news?"

"Yes, the three captains are quite conflicted and have difficulty making a decision, so they plan to hand over the choice to you."

"Now, it's up to you to choose who will be your team leader. Over the past six months, you should have a pretty clear understanding of them, including their abilities, personality, hobbies, and any common topics you have."

"But one thing to mention, in order to make things easier for the team leaders, if... one of the team leaders has reached the five-person limit, please don't force them to choose another one, okay?"

The 15 team members looked at each other in confusion. At that moment, a black-haired girl decisively raised her hand and said, "I choose Captain Bronya."

"Hey! Xiao Mo, how could you commit a foul! Nobody has even said anything yet, how could you make your choice!"

The girl called Xiao Mo glanced at the girl next to her, shook her head and said, "Even if all five are taken, I will still choose her. I am confident that I can eliminate one of you five."

Xiao Mo's speech left everyone speechless. Finally, the female soldier captain waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, it's good to have your own goals. However, in terms of results, Xiao Mo does have the qualifications to be the first to choose, but I don't want that."

"Why don't you all discuss this amongst yourselves first? Once you've discussed it, we'll discuss it together and decide on the number of people for each team leader, okay?"

"Okay, let's leave it at that. I really want to go to Captain Bronya's side too. My ability is also the kind that attacks a large area, so we'll definitely have a lot to talk about, and our teamwork will be great!"

"You're overthinking it. Captain Bronya is an all-rounder, proficient in both melee and ranged combat, so she's the best match for anyone."

"But I want to join Captain Black Hill's team! Don't any of you have the same idea?"

For a moment, all 15 people present fell silent. Then, a girl exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Why are you heading towards Captain Blackie?! I feel like I might get killed if I go there!"

The girl who wanted to join forces with Hei Xi blinked and tilted her head, saying, "Is it that scary? I think it's alright. Captain Hei Xi is very strong, and I can also enhance my close combat abilities. If I were with Captain Hei hope, I should be able to learn a lot of close combat techniques and become stronger."

"I...I want to join Captain Seele's team!"

"Captain Seele is so gentle and cute. I really like her. I wish I could have afternoon tea with her... with her... with her!"

Silence fell over the hall again. Then, the female soldier captain asked in surprise, "Doesn't she know about that?"

"Huh? What's up?"

The black-haired girl looked completely confused; what didn't she know?

"Little one... Captain Black Seele and Captain Seele are both... suitors of Captain Bronya. In other words, their hearts are completely with Captain Bronya. And I heard that the three of them are living together! Maybe they've even...slept together!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Several girls in the hall blushed instantly, while the girl with black hair looked somewhat aggrieved, finally letting out a helpless sigh. How could she possibly compete with Captain Bronya for it?

"Well... when it comes to feelings, nobody can say for sure. Don't be discouraged. Maybe Captain Seele will change her mind one day, and then you'll have your chance."

That's what they say, but deep down everyone knows...

Half an hour later, after the fierce competition in the hall ended, the female soldier captain came to the room where Bronya and the other two were with the final results and handed over the list.

Bronya looked at the list in her hand and nodded. "Well then, let's all get to know our teammates."

"You two, is there a problem?"

Hei hope sighed. She really couldn't do this kind of thing. It would be better to let her fight stronger enemies than to let her get to know other people.

She had no objection even to going shopping with Bronya.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go then. I don't have any other ideas anyway."
