The system handed me over to the state.

Chapter 424: Bronya Enjoying Life

"Sister Hei hope, you should go and get some rest now."

"I...I'm fine...I can keep going."

"Don't insist. Take her back to rest. Two months is plenty of time. We're not in a hurry for a day or two."

Anyone with eyes can see that Hei hope is in very poor condition right now. Instead of continuing, she should go back and rest.

After taking Black Seele back to her room to rest, Seele returned to the bridge and looked at the planet before her. "So beautiful. Are all habitable planets this beautiful?"

"Of course, green vegetation, blue sea, and yellow land—every habitable planet should be this beautiful. Moreover, this is an agricultural planet. We did a rough scan, and the planet has very lush forest vegetation. The people of the Keponia civilization did not destroy the forests in order to increase crop yields."

"In this respect, I think she is very similar to China. Perhaps in the future, we will have a lot in common in our exchanges on agricultural technology."

Su Xi had a faint smile on her face. After watching for a while, Xi'er asked, "So what's the next action plan?"

"The next action plan is still being developed, but a general framework has been established."

"First, the special operations transport ship will take you to land in the forest. Then you will activate your stealth devices to enter their city and gather intelligence. Any difficult cases can be handed over to professional intelligence personnel."

"understood."

"Yes, remember, the primary objective is to obtain information about the Cosmic Civilization Association. If we don't get any relevant information, we should leave. We can continue to inquire on other planets. After all, it's just an agricultural planet, so it's normal that we don't have any information in this area."

Su Xi was actually a little unsure. As things stand, Kaiponia is not a registered civilization within the Universal Civilization Association, and it's not certain that she could find any information about the association.

Of course, if they could, that would be the best option. They could learn about the Cosmic Civilization Association in advance what kind of organization it was. Once the intelligence was fully gathered, the rest could be left to the higher-ups to decide.

"Okay, I understand. But why are we being asked to contact the Cosmic Civilization Association?"

Seele still couldn't understand it. To be honest, she wasn't particularly optimistic about the Cosmic Civilization Association. She didn't think it was a cosmic organization that appeared to be great and righteous on the surface.

If that were really the case, an existence like the Shadow Empire would have been wiped out long ago. How could it be the turn of a civilization that isn't even a low-level civilization to eliminate it?

Moreover, in other words, the fact that a civilization like theirs, which doesn't even qualify as a low-level civilization, could defeat the Shadow Empire and annihilate it suggests that the Cosmic Civilization Association is largely unreliable, or perhaps they simply don't want to eliminate the Shadow Empire at all.

Therefore, all three countries maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards this Cosmic Civilization Association.

"Let the higher-ups decide. However, I have some inside information. The higher-ups are not optimistic about this association. In fact, the Soviet Union is somewhat resistant to this association, while Britain is indifferent. Therefore, the decision on our next move will mainly depend on the resolution of China and the Soviet Union."

Seele smiled somewhat helplessly, "British people... really love lying down."

"Well, it's due to their national culture, but you have to admit that they live a very refined life, and their cuisine is also very refined. I quite like it."

Su Xi quite liked the British; they had a very refined lifestyle, and what was most interesting was that these British people shared her views on the idea of ​​lying down.

After all, when you're physically and mentally exhausted, who doesn't want to lie down and relax?

"Okay, I'll head back now. Please let us know when the mission is about to begin."

Su Xi nodded, and Seele was put back into her and Black Seele's room inside the ship. Su Xi then began to study the star map of the Keponian civilization in an all-round way, hoping to find some interesting places to visit.

.............

"rub!"

The metallic hum echoed through the air as a sharp metal blade severed the monster's head, causing its body to collapse limply.

Bronya sheathed her dagger. Indeed, melee combat was better. Bows and arrows were only effective in combat without high-quality bows and arrows. In such situations, daggers were far more useful.

Pulling up her personal panel, she saw that her level was already above 100. She had previously advanced a second time using the Dragon Hourglass, but she was still a little unsure about how to fight against the heroes from another world.

Bronya wasn't sure whether Glass's level was considered high or low in the other world. If the wave that came was from a low-level hero, then it would be fine, but if it was from a high-level hero... Bronya wasn't sure if she could definitely defeat the opponent.

Moreover, weapons are also a crucial factor. Heroes always have some special skills or abilities, but she doesn't. She doesn't have special weapons, special abilities, or skills like heroes.

Everything she has achieved so far is through her own efforts, so Bronya was determined from the beginning that if she wanted to defeat those heroes, she needed to have a level advantage, or at the very least, an attribute advantage.

Only in this way can she defeat those heroes from other worlds as quickly as possible.

Closing her status bar, Bronya looked up at the sky. The sun was already setting, and the clouds were tinged with the usual red and orange hues. She sighed, "Let's go back... it's almost time."

"After we get back, we should be able to have a better meal tonight."

Bronya felt a little relieved as she recalled the materials she had recently collected. This island was a place that provided a lot of experience points and was also a tourist city. The living environment and food were much better than in the capital. In addition, the large amount of experience points and materials dropped allowed Bronya to finally enjoy some extra things after solving her basic needs.

For example, a more comfortable living environment.

"Welcome back, Miss Bronya."

Amidst the hotel staff's welcoming greetings, Bronya returned to her only hotel room on the island, a stay she had paid a hefty sum for, which required weekly renewal.

Although it cost a lot of money, if better weapons and equipment can't be bought, it would be better to use that money to enjoy life.

With this in mind, she stayed in this luxurious hotel for a month.

Chapter 425: The Powerless Raccoon

Inside the bathroom, Bronya felt the warmth of the water enveloping her body and couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

Her exquisite body was partially obscured by the flowing water, her long gray hair cascading down her back, her eyes tightly closed, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curling upwards.

Her long, slender legs intertwined, gently moving up and down in the water, while her hands lightly caressed her body, washing every part of it.

At home, Bronya had almost never tried taking a bath like this. Firstly, it was a waste of water, and secondly, it easily attracted the attention of Black Seele and Seele. In the end, the bath turned into... cough cough!

So Bronya still prefers taking a shower. Of course, now that the two of them aren't around, there's nothing wrong with indulging in it for a while. It's a kind of pleasure that can only be enjoyed when you're away from home!

With half her face submerged in water and blowing bubbles through her nose and mouth, Bronya suddenly felt like she was swimming as a child, immersing herself in water and blowing bubbles.

But she soon felt a little bored, so she continued soaking for a while, then stood up from the bathtub, stepped out, took a towel from the side and began to dry herself. Finally, she used a magical item unique to this world to evaporate the water from her hair. Bronya then walked to the window of the room with her hair down and looked at the view outside.

Even at night, this island city is exceptionally lively. People stroll the streets at night, and tourists have bonfire parties on the beach. Everything looks so beautiful, just like her life on a small island in Europe in her world—peaceful, interesting, and lively.

People treat each other with respect, and everyone lives the life they expect, without worries, work pressure, or any other life pressures.

Seeing this now, Bronya couldn't help but think of such a life. Of course, she could do that too. Shenzhou was already on the right track, and even without her, Shenzhou's steps into the universe would not stop.

She could easily apply to Susu for retirement and then live the peaceful life she dreamed of with Hei hope and Xi'er.

Hmm...why don't we go back and ask them?

Bronya thought it was worth a try. Maybe if Su Su agreed, she could step back and only need to complete Tong Xi's tasks on a regular basis.

Speaking of which, Tong Xi seems to be living a comfortable life lately. Yu Xin hasn't seen her in a long time either. Apparently, she's retired from the lab, and I wonder what she's doing now.

Bronya paid less attention to the people around her in the period leading up to the mission, so she can't remember what they were doing when she tries to recall it now.

Oh, right, after I retire, I might move in with my parents. Although they haven't fully retired yet, their health isn't very good. Living a little closer together would allow them to take care of each other.

Before she knew it, Bronya had started thinking about future plans. When she returned to her senses, she smiled helplessly, wondering why she had suddenly started thinking about so many things in the future.

Let's finish the task first. It's still uncertain whether Su Su will agree to my retirement, so it's not appropriate to make a decision now.

Just then, Bronya suddenly heard a familiar voice and looked down, only to see several familiar figures.

Bronya paused, "They actually came too... I remember the Empire controls this passage. If they were able to get here, does that mean...?"

The warrant has been lifted?

Bronya smiled. It wasn't the right time yet. They'd wait until the wave arrived.

I left the window, lay down on the bed, turned off the room light, and rested. Tomorrow I'll continue leveling up and see if I can find some good materials from a few bosses to craft a decent bow and arrow weapon.

Meanwhile, Naofumi Iwatani, standing on the street, looked at the scenery around him. Even at night, there were still so many people, and the relaxed and cheerful expressions on everyone's faces made Naofumi Iwatani lower his guard.

"Lord Naobun, we..."

Raphtalia's eyes sparkled with excitement. Naofumi Iwatani nodded. "I know. We can relax for now, and then we'll go level up."

The constant leveling up, monster grinding, dealing with waves of attacks, and the kingdom's various forms of targeting him over the past few days have truly exhausted Naofumi Iwatani. Now that his innocence has been cleared and that bitch princess has received her due punishment, he can finally relax a little.

"Let's go, Filo, Raphtalia, go and settle down first, and get some rest tomorrow."

the next day.

In the early morning, Bronya held a newspaper from another world in her hand, looking at the information on it, especially the close-up photo of Naofumi Iwatani. She looked somewhat surprised. So he had been exonerated. That's good. The warrant for her arrest should be lifted.

However, at that time, he was most likely presumed dead, since he couldn't be found anywhere in the forest, not even his body. If he was lucky, he would be listed as a dead person; if he was unlucky, he would be listed as a missing person.

And now the newspapers don't say anything about it, so they've probably been listed as deceased.

Hmm... this is good. It makes it easier for me to disguise my whereabouts. I haven't seen any daily searches since I arrived on this island, and the nobles haven't shown any reaction when they see me. Everything is fine.

So... let's keep grinding and leveling up. It's tedious, but today let's go to a higher-level area and find a few bosses.

As Bronya prepared to continue grinding monsters, Naofumi Iwatani, Raphtalia, and Filo were shopping for clothes and some daily necessities on the streets of town. Raphtalia looked at the swimsuits on the stall in front of her, her eyes practically screaming "I want this!"

Filo showed great curiosity about the accessories on the stall, while Naofumi Iwatani remained absent-minded, a state that displeased Raphtalia.

"Lord Naofumi, are you still thinking about Miss Bronya?"

Raphtalia's attitude towards Bronya was actually a little complicated. First of all, Bronya was very beautiful, making Raphtalia feel that she could not compare with her. As for personality, they had not spent enough time together to know her well.

In terms of upbringing, etiquette, and thinking, Raphtalia felt completely suppressed... If one day Naofumi Iwatani were to marry Miss Bronya, she wouldn't have a single complaint, because she truly didn't know what she could possibly say in protest...

I felt so powerless in front of her.

Chapter 426: Archers really do need to be good at close combat.

"Yes, you heard it too. The Royal Guard said Bronya jumped off the cliff, but they didn't find her body at the bottom of the cliff, not even a trace of blood, and they didn't find a single trace in the entire forest."

"She said... see you at the next wave, so where will she be until then?"

Naofumi Iwatani couldn't understand why she wouldn't rejoin the ranks when such a major event had occurred within the Empire. And it was probably not for any particular reason that she wouldn't come back, but rather because she herself didn't want to.

Raphtalia was somewhat helpless. When Miss Bronya separated from them, she immediately left the party, so they couldn't judge Miss Bronya's situation by being in the party.

Now she seems to have vanished, nowhere to be found.

In response, Raphtalia stated that since Bronya did this, she must have her reasons. She said goodbye to the waves, so she will definitely see them again in the next wave. They can only wait patiently.

"It's alright, let's continue shopping. We believe we'll meet again."

Naofumi Iwatani could only temporarily put aside his worries about Bronya and continue shopping with the two girls.

Meanwhile, Bronya stared at the fallen materials before her and sighed. This world was simply full of malice towards archers—no! It was full of malice towards her!
