The system handed me over to the state.

Bronya tilted her head and smiled, "Okay! Let's go find her then. I also need her to explain why a month has passed and the system's assistance still hasn't arrived."

Bronya also had a question. Tong Xi had said that the higher-ups would provide them with assistance, but so far, they hadn't seen any aid from the system, and there were no records in the data terminal. So, was this aid abandoned, or was it all a lie from the beginning?

Chapter 294: System Management: (Procrastinated)

Aren't you going to join their activities?

Fu Hua looked out the window at Bronya and Seele walking side by side, then turned back to Seele, who had just come out of the simulation training room covered in sweat, and asked in confusion.

Seele shook her head. "It's okay. I just think that Sister Black Seele needs some time to recover."

"Reply status?"

Fu Hua was quite surprised. Her understanding of Black Seele and Bronya was limited to heroes, beautiful girls, and powerful individuals. Bronya's personality was relatively gentle and upright, but Black Seele's personality was somewhat strange, and she had always kept her distance from her.

"Well, let me get back to the status... During the month that Bronya was away, you spent most of your time training and carrying out missions, so it's normal that you don't know."

"During the time when Bronya was away, Heishi was like... she had lost her soul. She was fine for the first few days, but later, her mental state got worse and worse."

Looking back on that month, Seele couldn't help but feel a little tormented, as if she were taking care of a lost and distraught child.

"He can't eat, he's listless during simulation training, and he just stares blankly all day, not knowing what he's thinking..."

"Her condition worsened during her period, and the physical pain made her mental state even worse."

Seele sighed, "So, let Bronya stay with Black Seele for a while longer. I'll go back when I've recovered enough."

Fu Hua adjusted her glasses. "Aren't you afraid... she'll strike first?"

Seele asked in surprise, "First move?"

"Yes, aren't you afraid that your position will be threatened, or even that she will forget you?"

Seele waved her hand, "No, I'm still... very confident!"

Seele's face flushed slightly, and she wore a confident smile. She wasn't confident that she wouldn't be forgotten or rejected, but rather that she was certain she could stay by Bronya's side, do what she wanted, and get what she wanted.

Fu Hua was somewhat surprised. This was the first time she had seen such a confident smile on Seele's face. She smiled and said, "Then I can only wish you success, Seele."

.........

"It doesn't seem to have changed much, and there's a lot of dust on it... Yuxin, how long has it been since you came back?"

As Lin Yuxin changed her shoes, she peered into the room with a puzzled look. "It looks like no one has lived here for a long time, but she was living here just a week ago. How come no one is here now?"

Lin Yuxin was puzzled. After changing her shoes, she went into the bedroom and looked around, but she didn't see Tong Xi. After walking around the room, Bronya was very confused. "Where is she?" she asked.

"I saw her at the base yesterday, but she said she went home. She said 'home,' not 'outside.' Could something strange have forced her to leave?"

"It should be... Hmm... Isn't there a way to call her from the system side?"

Bronya scrolled through her system menu, trying to find a function or... item that could summon Tong Xi. But after searching through it all, she couldn't find it.

"That guy...did he think we were in trouble and ran away? That's so irresponsible. She's a system, how can a system abandon its master like that?"

Bronya shrugged at Hei hope's sarcasm, but in her heart she was thinking, where did Tong Xi go back to? What could have happened that would make Tong Xi not return for a whole week?

Just as the three of them were somewhat at a loss, a bright blue circular portal suddenly appeared in front of them in the open area in the middle of the living room. The next moment, Tong Xi, dressed in a black women's suit that highlighted her mature and intellectual beauty, appeared in front of the three of them.

For a moment, the two sides stared at each other, and finally Tong Xi exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot to tell you!"

"So, you're dressed like this to go to...?"

She looked like a woman wearing work clothes, and even had those semi-transparent black stockings, which subconsciously gave Bronya some... strange fantasies.

"Hold a meeting, an internal system meeting. Do you remember what we said before about providing aid to you humans?"

Bronya nodded. "So, it's been cancelled?"

"Gurgle!"

Bronya was stunned. Hei hope chuckled a few times. Lin Yuxin blinked. "What happened?"

Tong Xi closed the portal behind her, took off her black suit jacket to reveal a white shirt underneath, and then plopped down on the sofa. Bronya and the others didn't even have time to say anything before... she landed on the dusty sofa...

"Waaaaah! My dress! I spent so much money on it! Waaah..."

Then they heard Tong Xi's wails. But given her salary, this suit shouldn't be considered very expensive. Maybe it's because this guy is... too stingy?

After changing back into her own loungewear, she remembered that she had a special ability to clean dust. After cleaning all the dust in the room, the four of them sat down on the sofa, and Tong Xi then began to explain why the system's assistance had been delayed this time.

Because in the eyes of the system administrators at the higher levels... there was no reason for them to provide assistance in this civilization crisis, so the system decisively abandoned the aid. Tong Xi's purpose today was to file an appeal to try to get the aid back, even if it was just a little bit, but it was no use.

"Sigh... I tried my best, but I couldn't do it. The higher-ups just stuck on it and I couldn't find any loopholes. However, the mission will continue. By the way, I still haven't found the problem with the teleportation. You should pay more attention when using the teleportation channel in the future."

There's no way to solve it... Maybe it's not Tong Xi's problem, but something else?

"I understand. I came to see you this time because I want you to open a channel for us. We're planning to go on... vacation."

Tong Xi blinked. A vacation? Why the sudden vacation? But why would she need her on vacation? She seems to be helping... Wait! No way!

Tong Xi immediately realized what she meant and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait! You want to... go on vacation to another world?"

Bronya nodded. "Hmm, I'm planning to go on vacation to the first Honkai world I visited. That should be okay, right? It's been so long, I hope I don't encounter anything like the birth of the Herrscher of the Void as soon as I get there?"

Tong Xi scratched her head. "That's hard to say. She hasn't monitored that world for a long time, and she doesn't know how it is now. It's hard to say."

Chapter 295: I Don't Want to Work Overtime!

"In short, I don't know what state that world is in now. Maybe it's still in the state of things that you just left a few days ago, or maybe a very long time has passed. After all, I haven't been monitoring the time ratio."

"So be prepared, because when you go there, it might be the beginning of the worst of the world over there."

Bronya smiled. "It could also be the most peaceful period."

After saying that, Bronya turned to look at Seele, who was standing behind her with her head down. "What's wrong? Don't you want to come with us?"

"Ah! No...no, it's just...I just feel like maybe it's a little...inappropriate, considering you've only been here for a day, and Hei Xi-neechan's condition..."

"I'm in great shape, you don't need to worry about me. My self-regulation ability is much stronger than yours."

Blackie immediately replied. Seele touched her head. She originally thought it would be better for her to go back after Blackie and Bronya had spent about three days together.

But on the very first night, she received a message from Bronya, who even invited her to come over and sleep together that night, and to leave together in the morning.

Seele hesitated for a moment but still didn't choose to go. When she arrived this morning, she saw two people packing all sorts of clothes and daily necessities. She was then forced to pack her own belongings and some clothes that she had left behind in the room before being told what to do next.

Honeymoon trip, the three of us...

Seele's first thought was whether she had become some kind of tool or a third wheel used to play a special role in the relationship between the two. But in the end, she realized that Bronya and Black Seele genuinely wanted to bring her into the picture.

What if you think you're the other woman, but actually both of them want to get you into bed and do naughty things? That feeling... is absurd, but inexplicably... exciting?

Seele instinctively covered her cheek, and Bronya leaned in, placing her hand on Seele's forehead. "Strange, can contractors catch colds and fevers? You weren't sleeping...naked last night, were you?"

"No...no way! I don't have that kind of weird hobby!"

Seele immediately retorted loudly, while Bronya smiled and said, "I don't really mind if you're here. Okay, let's set off then. I'll leave things here in your care. Also, I've already sent my leave application, right?"

Lin Yuxin nodded, took out her phone and dialed a few times, saying, "Of course, and His Majesty replied instantly. You see, I sent the leave request at around 8 p.m., and His Majesty replied within seconds. She cares a lot about you!"

The account on the phone represents Su Su's personal private social media account. This account is very private, and no one on the social media platform can follow her. Moreover, no one can see her following anyone.

She's practically invisible, since Su Su herself has no intention of becoming an internet celebrity or star, and naturally doesn't need anyone's attention.

"Alright, the portal has been opened. I've temporarily placed you in Changkong City, near the Far East Branch. Luckily, Changkong City is peaceful, so we can be fairly certain that there are no signs of any collapse."

Before opening the channel, Tong Xi took a special look to make sure there were no problems before establishing the teleportation channel.

However, before setting off, Tong Xi reminded them again, after all... they were going on vacation. On the surface, that world was still peaceful and the Honkai hadn't caused any trouble, but that didn't mean it wouldn't happen in the future. After all, the Honkai world's storyline wasn't so peaceful and tranquil.

Bronya said she understood, and even if they did encounter her, Bronya, Black Seele, and Seele were strong enough to kill the awakened Herrscher of the Void. And even if they couldn't kill her, she could find a corner, create a Paradox Engine, and kill the Herrscher of the Void directly.

The Herrscher of the Void can be said to be the beginning of all tragedies, so once the Herrscher of the Void is killed, then everything that follows will not happen so easily.

"Well then, have a wonderful honeymoon!"

Tong Xi smiled and waved to the three of them, while Lin Yuxin stopped Bronya before she left and asked, "So, are you planning to get married right after you come back? Isn't that a little too early? After all, you're not even 21 yet!"

Indeed, Bronya is only 20 years old, which is just right. Black Seele is 19 years old, and Seele has only been in university for less than a year, so she is also almost 20.

Getting married is indeed a bit too early; at least under the laws of China, it's not allowed.

"Let's talk about it when we're old enough. Besides, we'll still be fighting the Shadow Empire after we come back. I don't want to make a promise like 'we'll get married as soon as the war is over!'"

Bronya's expression was slightly speechless. So, you know, don't make any promises before you go. No matter how strong you are, you might have the leverage, but promises don't depend on how strong you are. Who knows how they'll come to be?

Lin Yuxin smiled and said, "It's good that you know. Although it's just a joke, it would be troublesome if it came true, so it's better to avoid it."

"Alright, that's all for now. I'm off. If you want to come find me, just ask Tong Xi!"

Next, Bronya and the other two entered the portal in front of them, leaving this world and heading to another Honkai world.

Meanwhile, in the Kyoto Cabinet Council, the capital of China, an elderly member of parliament spoke in a hoarse voice: "You're just going to give someone with such formidable combat power a vacation like this? Your Majesty, we old folks find it hard to understand the thinking of you young people, but we still hope you can explain what you're trying to do?"

"With China facing such a predicament, we should gather more combat power to confront the challenges ahead!"

What difficulties are we facing?

Su Mengyao took it as a rhetorical question, her somewhat childish voice echoing in the empty conference hall, "You older generation just can't tolerate any factor that might get out of control leaving your sight or getting out of your control. You have to keep everything in your own hands."

"China is no longer in that era of crisis. The constraints have erected a temporary high wall for us. We should use this time to fully rest and recuperate, and then face the future crisis with all our might."

"She needs to rest. Everyone at the research institute should get some rest too, including you all."

Su Mengyao's gaze swept over the elderly people in front of her. "Go back and spend some quality time with your families and enjoy the company of your children and grandchildren."

"Your Majesty...you want to..."

"You're overthinking it. The cabinet won't be disbanded. In a while, I'll be going to Britain to have a good get-together with my best friend and relax. You should try to relax too."

"Precisely because the future crisis is urgent, we need to seize the time, take turns to relax and rest, and then cheer up to face the future."

"What's the point of working overtime every day?!"

"...Isn't that last sentence your true intention?"

"Ugh! No...no, that's not it!"
