The system handed me over to the state.

"I'm afraid you might change your mind, so it's better if you decide on the specifics after we meet."

Fu Hua frowned slightly. What could be so important that she was unwilling to reveal what she might be facing?

Is it mysterious? Or terrifying? Or perhaps something like human fear?

As for Fu Hua's own opinion, she was simply following orders from her superiors. She didn't care what her superiors would actually ask her to do, but rather whether this matter could help with the current situation. She knew about the current predicament of Shenzhou and also knew that Shenzhou urgently needed powerful people.

They were facing a magical empire, not a technological civilization. Based on the few novels she had read, there must be an incredibly powerful being on the other side.

And she might just become the one who targets that incredibly powerful being.

Of course, this is just Fu Hua's own opinion, and she is not really sure whether she can actually become one.

Is it something terrifying?

"Somewhat similar. Ah, the person has arrived."

Hearing footsteps behind her, Bronya turned around and looked at Seele, who was rushing over. "You're here?"

"Sorry, I... I woke up a little late today, so I'm late."

Thinking about what she had done last night, Seele's face turned unusually red. She still felt that she had gone a bit too far last night, so she was a little shy now.

Bronya didn't seem to care much, shaking her head to indicate it was fine, then looked at Fu Hua and said, "Everyone's here, let's go."

Next, led by Bronya, they passed through a passage and arrived at a room. After Bronya checked the energy fluctuations around them and confirmed that it was a special space created by Tong Xi, she pushed open the door in front of her. Instantly, a faint white light made Fu Hua somewhat stunned.

Next, Bronya patted Fu Hua on the shoulder, "Come on, come in."

Fu Hua nodded blankly, caught off guard by the sudden change in scene...

Where...is this place?

Looking into the vast white space inside, and seeing the woman in a white dress sitting at a round table not far away, Fu Hua thought, "So...so beautiful." And, for some reason, just seeing that woman in white gave Fu Hua a feeling of wanting to get closer, like...a motherly feeling.

"This is where?"

Fu Hua raised a question. To be honest, she had heard of Major General Bronya and seen photos and videos of her, but she had never actually met her in person.

Therefore, she was somewhat confused: who was this person in the white space?

"Hello, Fu Hua, please have a seat."

Tong Xi extended her hand to Fu Hua, gesturing for her to sit down beside her. Bronya and the other two sat down without any hesitation. Tong Xi smiled and said, "Would you like something to drink?"

"coffee."

"Me too."

"Juice...juice is fine."

Tong Xi snapped her fingers, and each of the three people received their desired drink. Then, Tong Xi looked at Fu Hua, who realized that this was probably going to be a long conversation.

"A glass of water will suffice."

"Your needs are rather specific; a glass of water will suffice."

The same snap of fingers rang out again, and a glass of water appeared in front of Fu Hua. She sat down, looked at the four people in front of her, and asked, "So, what do I need to do?"

"No rush, we have plenty of time today. You don't need to worry about the war that might break out outside. That's not a problem because time is basically frozen in this space."

"Therefore, you can rest assured to have this conversation with us."

Fu Hua nodded blankly, having devoted all her energy to martial arts. She was able to go to university because of her outstanding abilities, which exempted her from the special experience of not having attended high school.

At university, she preferred practicing martial arts and exercising to studying in the classroom.

"So... what should we talk about?"

Fu Hua was getting impatient. She didn't like the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, which resembled afternoon tea. It made her feel like she was wasting her time. Therefore, she would rather leave immediately to train and wait for the gene serum injection than waste time here.

Bronya naturally saw through this. "Alright, Tong Xi, let's get straight to the point. There's no point in dragging this out."

"Hmm...I also said I wanted to delay paying that extra salary a little longer..."

Tong Xi pouted, while Fu Hua looked embarrassed. Was she trying to stall for time and collect more pay because she didn't want to get to the point? Unconsciously, Fu Hua's impression of the woman in the white dress dropped slightly. Was she a gold digger after all?

But how did such a materialistic woman manage to get into such an important position?

Chapter 237: The Black-Hearted System is Confirmed

"I think you might have some strange misunderstanding about me. I'm not a gold digger. I like money, but that doesn't mean I'm a gold digger."

Fu Hua's expression froze. "You...you can read my thoughts?"

Fu Hua looked very surprised. She never expected that her thoughts could be read by the woman in front of her. Did the other party really have the ability to read minds?

"I can't read minds... Hmm, that doesn't seem quite accurate. Never mind, it's not a big problem. Let's talk about your problem. I'll tell you why you came here and what your purpose is."

"Also, we will tell you what you need to do and what we will give you."

Fu Hua nodded. "Can I ask you a question?"

"please say."

Are they...like me?

Tong Xi blinked and nodded. "That's right. You know Bronya, Black Seele, and Seele. They are all contractors. You are very familiar with their existence. And your coming here means that you are about to become a contractor."

Fu Hua's expression showed a slight surprise. She hadn't expected to face such a situation today. Bronya, Black Seele, and Seele were all well-known figures in society. Fu Hua, a martial arts expert, always wondered if she was capable of fighting them whenever she saw them in action.

And now... I actually have the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

"I understand! I need to do what I need to do."

Fu Hua raised her head, her eyes resolute; she was ready.

...........

"That should be the end of it, right?"

"Yes, I've already sent her to the mission world. That completes my contract-related tasks. I won't be making contracts with anyone else anymore."

Tong Xi stretched her waist, and the moment her body relaxed, her soft breasts trembled instantly. Xi'er's eyes twitched slightly as she watched. Were they that big? Why were they moving so much?

"Whew! Things will be much easier from now on! I can happily slack off again!"

Bronya grabbed Tong Xi and asked under the latter's questioning gaze, "Has your system's plan been finalized?"

Tong Xi's expression froze for a moment, then she scratched her head awkwardly. "Oh... I remember now, why did I suddenly think of this? Don't worry, I'll notify you as soon as I receive the news. When that time comes... be prepared. I think the most likely scenario is that the management will forcefully push forward the development of your civilization."

"Forced...push?"

Bronya was quite surprised. Could the development of civilization be forcibly promoted? Promoting the development of civilization was indeed possible, but how could it be forcibly promoted?

"I've seen a specific example of this once. It was when a civilization was facing an apocalyptic crisis and the system had to request assistance. The feedback measures were to improve the intelligence, thinking ability, and cognitive ability of all researchers within the civilization, provide various rare minerals that the civilization would definitely need for its development, and proactively provide resources to assist it."

"In other words, it's equivalent to shortening your technological research and development process. A technology that would normally require ten years of research can be completed in just six months with the help of the system. And this is technology that you have completely mastered, so there won't be any issues with the technology being a black box."

"What are the drawbacks?"

"The downside is that rapid technological development can be unacceptable to the vast majority of people in a civilization, or they may be unable to control the crimes or catastrophic events brought about by technology."

“We have helped you to accelerate the research and development of technology, but how this technology is used is in your own hands. It can be used for good or bad.”

"So, if your China accepts this kind of technological advancement, for a long time to come, your social order will not be as stable as it is now. Your police and firefighters will have a lot to do."

Bronya's expression wasn't good. So, in return, it would come at the cost of a period of social unrest in China? That sounded...not good...

Are there any other possibilities?

"Also, I'll give you an absolute protective barrier that will never be broken. Then, what you do next is up to you. Either I'll take action and wipe you all out, which is the least likely, almost impossible option."

Tong Xi spread her hands, "Anyway... it depends on the situation. Don't you still have the Soviet Union and Britain as allies? With their help, even without our assistance, you should be able to get through this difficult time smoothly, right?"

Bronya wasn't very confident about this. The Chinese army could take on any country single-handedly, but... they would be facing the entire European Union and the entire United States army!

The sheer number of troops entrenched outside was already terrifying. Bronya didn't really have much confidence in defeating them. As for herself... she wasn't sure how strong her abilities were... The Herrscher of Reason's abilities were related to civilization, and as far as she could do, she really couldn't fight large-scale battles.

In small-scale battles, she is the absolute ruler, but in large-scale battles... this is not a Honkai world, and when she inherited the power of the Herrscher of Reason from Bronya, she was not in a very strong state.

In terms of pure strength, she is currently incomparable to the previous Herrschers of Reason in the Honkai world.

Unless... she can develop and analyze the technology within the Civilization Package more quickly, and then convert it all into her own power, then she will truly be an army all by herself.

Moreover, she really liked the void creation ability that the faction war gave her, so in the coming period, she will try to make most of her abilities lean towards that direction.

The idea of ​​one person forming an army sounds incredibly cool. Whether on the ground or in interstellar battlefields, imagine suddenly transforming into a massive interstellar fleet when the enemy thinks she's all alone, scaring them to death on the spot. How exhilarating would that be?

"So... what kind of help can you offer us now?"

Tong Xi rolled her eyes. "Give me a break. Don't think about these things now. You should think about your next mission. Your mission involves war. Although it won't be interstellar war, it's a war world that you're familiar with. Don't blame me if things go wrong."

"You won't die, but the difficulty of your next mission will increase, and the rewards will decrease."

Wow! How could they be so heartless?

"Then go and get ready. You can clear it in one go, right?"

Chapter 238: Transdimensional Raid

Under Tong Xi's urging, Bronya could only turn her attention to the mission six months later. However, upon careful reflection, she realized that she had nothing to prepare for. Given the current level of technology in China, she really couldn't figure anything out.

As for Honkai technology... she has analyzed most of the Honkai technology she has. As for the Hyperion... it's gone. Schicksal's spaceship and the Moon Throne were almost completely destroyed in the apocalypse. Now, Bronya's Honkai technology consists mostly of Titan and similar technological products.

Furthermore, Tong Xi said it was a battlefield she was familiar with, while Bronya preferred and was very familiar with the same few RTS games: Red Alert, StarCraft, CNC, and Age of Empires? No, Age of Empires was a complete rout for her, so it was meaningless.

Are you suggesting we make her a warrior of the Tang Dynasty?

So, what kind of mission world will Tong Xi prepare for herself? I'm really curious! I wish I could get a spoiler! Why can't I get a spoiler?

Bronya was very troubled by this thought, but she was destined not to continue to be troubled, because trouble was about to come knocking.

"Bronya, General Yu requests that you come to the control room."

"Okay..."

Bronya stood up and looked at Black Seele and Seele beside her. "You two wait here. I'll be right back."

"No need, just come to the residence to find us."
