The system handed me over to the state.

In the morning, she single-handedly fought five BOSS-level monsters, but the materials she obtained were only a few pieces that could be used to craft bows and arrows. Moreover, the bows and arrows she crafted were either not very high-level or of very low quality.

Bronya looked at the bow in her hand, then at the dagger in her other hand.

Screw archers! I spent so many points on archery talents and skills, and in the end, I'm not even as fast as someone fighting with a short sword. What's the point of being an archer? I might as well be a warrior or an assassin!

Put away the bow and arrows, and use these materials to forge a new dagger. Besides, it was never said that archers' skills couldn't be used for melee combat.

Focusing on that skill, which is almost like accelerating time, would be very good for her. It would allow her to strike with her sword more accurately or dodge some attacks.

The offensive skill can also be activated in another way. You don't necessarily have to shoot an arrow to activate this skill. You can also throw a short sword. There is almost no difference between throwing and shooting. Both are off-hand skills and can be used interchangeably.

Hmm... then forge a few more short swords, and then use each one as a throwing dart for ranged attacks.

That's settled then, and the attack strategy will be determined accordingly.

I checked the time; it's about time. Time to rest.

After putting away all the materials, Bronya sat down and ate the lunch she had prepared in advance. At the same time, she brought up the system that she hadn't looked at for a long time. After being sent to this world, most of the system's functions were broken. The system space was unusable, and her personal panel related to her power was also locked.

Of course, none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that the system's built-in communication function has also been blocked, which has prevented her from contacting Hei Xi and Xi Er. Although she can't carry out missions together, at least she could contact the two of them to let them know she's safe and how things are going.

"That's really ruthless, disabling all system functions... But this mission doesn't seem too difficult; as long as I'm a little careful, I should be able to complete it smoothly. What's rather strange is..."

This mission was relatively simple; at least Bronya had a very easy time with it, thanks to the invincible Iron Curtain feature built into her nanosuit, which solved many defensive problems.

It was also one of the biggest advantages he had in killing Glass, and it would become one of the means by which he would hunt down other heroes from other worlds.

The problem still lies in Bronya's biggest worry: the power of the otherworldly hero... "We still need to be careful. Should we find something to set traps in advance?"

Set up a trap in advance, then find an opportunity to lure the opponent into the trap and kill them all at once.

But here's the problem: the location of the next wave is unknown, so how can you set up traps in advance without knowing the battlefield?

"Sigh, every time I come up with a battle strategy, it gets rejected."

Bronya sighed. The wave of attacks, which could occur anywhere unpredictably, made it impossible to prepare the area in advance. Even if teammates bought time to set traps after entering the wave, what if the BOSS didn't appear where you set the traps?

Even if you want to lure someone over, do you really think they'll be so foolish as to follow you into a trap?

"To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of intelligence. People with high intelligence can't get any method to work, while people with low intelligence can get any stupid method to work."

Bronya finished her lunch, took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and continued leveling up, hoping to reach level 110 before the end of the afternoon, which would make the upcoming battles easier.

"Keep up the good work, and try to return after this wave ends. Give it your all, other world. I'm really looking forward to you sending two heroes here at once."

...a few days later...

"It's actually on the sea?"

Bronya's expression was quite subtle. Right now, she was lurking on an Imperial ship, looking up at the distorted scene in the sky. This was bad. If she were on land, she could have quietly taken advantage of the situation and waited for the final boss to appear before reaping the rewards.

Now, she's on the sea, and she has absolutely nothing to fight at sea!

She was extremely troubled by this, but it was also good news. Naval battles were difficult for them, but they were equally difficult for the local warriors. Without ships, the enemy would either rush up to seize their ships or create a large area of ​​water and land to fight them.

The situation is evenly matched on both sides, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the monsters in the sea.

Bronya believed that Naofumi Iwatani would help her solve these problems.

All she needs to do is wait patiently here, waiting for those heroes from another world to come to her.

I need two heroes sent over at once, and they have to be really weak ones, please!

Chapter 427: The History of the Cosmic Civilization Association

"This planet... is so boring. Everyone's pace of life is so slow. Look, there are leisurely catgirls everywhere, and the whole street is filled with the atmosphere of slow living. Are you sure this is an agricultural planet and not some kind of tourist planet?"

Hei hope found it strange. Life on an agricultural planet was more leisurely, which could be explained, but after visiting several cities, all the catgirls seemed lazy and didn't want to move. Even the cars on the streets were all self-driving instead of manually driven.

You could say they're lazy to the extreme!

“Um… I’m sorry, Ms. Kuroki, I’m not entirely sure either… but the markings on the star map do indicate that this is an agricultural planet, and we have indeed detected a large number of agricultural facilities.”

"But we were lucky. Although the atmosphere in the city was a bit strange, at least we found the information we wanted, didn't we?"

Yes, Hei hope and her group were very lucky. In the first city, after being probed by intelligence personnel, they found information that the Cosmic Civilization Association might exist. According to them, the Kaibonian civilization is currently a preparatory low-level civilization of the Cosmic Civilization Association, and the Cosmic Civilization Association is trying to establish branches of the association on most of the planets in Kaibonian.

Furthermore, the Cosmic Civilization Association will then be integrated into the educational system of the Keponian civilization, establishing a dedicated course on the Cosmic Civilization Association.

And coincidentally, today was the first day of this course, so they hurried to one of the few universities on this planet and headed straight for the course.

However, the strange atmosphere throughout the city along the way gave the four of them a great deal of doubt.

Even Seele felt like finding a nice spot to sunbathe and sleep, but then Black Seele woke her up.

Therefore, it is true that the environment can assimilate people. If you don't pay attention to controlling yourself, you can easily be assimilated by your surroundings and become the same kind of person.

"This should be the college, hmm... Chestnut Forest Agricultural Technology University, the name is quite interesting. We've already made a reservation, so we can just go in."

Upon entering this planet, the hackers on board the ship had already infiltrated the network of the Keponian civilization and forged identities and related documents for the four, which is why they were able to travel unimpeded.

Stepping into this university of the Keponian civilization, Seele looked around but didn't sense anything special. It felt just like any university on Earth, even the buildings were strikingly similar.

It's like... the only difference between two civilizations is their race.

And finally, at this university, the four of them saw a different atmosphere: busy and tense.

Everywhere you look, there are catgirls running around carrying small bags and various documents, and tense faces, like nervous test-takers about to face a difficult exam.

And... lovers holding hands, their tails intertwined, radiating the scent of PDA.

"I want to kill someone."

Hei hope watched the couple walk past her, then turned and said, instantly causing the two intelligence agents behind her to panic, "Calm down! Senior! Calm down! It's just them showing affection! Don't take it to heart!"

At that moment, Seele took Black Seele's hand, a smile on her face, and asked, "Do you need Seele's help?"

Hei hope paused for a moment, sensing the probing from Xi'er's cat tail as her tail. Hei hope shook her head, "No need... I can still hold back... That heartless woman... Hmph, I'll give her a good beating when I get back!"

Seele smiled and turned her head, as if to say, "See, it was that easy to calm her down."

Two intelligence agents cast admiring glances at Seele. The four of them continued forward, bypassing the vast academy's public campus and dormitory area, and finally arrived at the teaching building area at the back.

Following the reserved classroom number, the four of them stood in an empty classroom.

They exchanged bewildered glances. "Why... is nobody here? Did we arrive too early?"

Why do I feel like no one has made a reservation?

Xi'er muttered to herself, then opened her phone again. She saw that the number of reservations for the lecture was almost full, and she confirmed that the time and location were correct, but the classroom was still empty.

There was still half an hour before the lecture was scheduled to begin, but the classroom was completely empty. Something didn't seem right.

Could it be that the students on this planet are so lazy that they don't have the habit of arriving early and only arrive right on time?

"Please take your seats. If no one is here, that's fine too. With just the four of us, any questions we have can be answered immediately. You two can ask the questions. Any questions?"

The two intelligence officers shook their heads. It was their duty, and they knew that these two senior officers didn't like to ask questions, so it was best to let them do it.

So the four of them sat together and waited quietly. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Just as the time for the lecture to begin arrived, a golden light suddenly flashed across the classroom platform, and a blonde girl with golden eyes wearing a white and gold dress appeared on the platform.

When she saw the four people in the seats, she paused for a moment and exclaimed in surprise, "There are actually four people here!"

"Oh my god, it's truly a blessing from the God Emperor! I never expected that four people would actually be willing to listen to my lecture! This is wonderful!"

Looking at the girl on the podium, who was speaking so passionately, the four of them were all confused. After waiting for a while, the girl finally came to her senses and said seriously, "Ahem! I'm sorry, I was a little out of line just now. Although I only have four students today, I will definitely explain things to you properly."

"Alright, let's begin the lesson!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the environment inside the classroom changed. The four of them were no longer in the classroom, but in a space outside the classroom.

"Don't panic, this is just one of my abilities. You are currently in a real universe, and right in front of you, look, that's it."

The girl pointed to a huge planet in the distance. The four of them were shocked the moment they saw the planet. It was such a huge creation that it was more like a giant man-made mechanical space city than a planet.

His laughter far exceeded the size that a planet could define; mechanical lights shone in the mechanical city, and all around him, countless ships of all kinds sailed.

"That is the core area of ​​our Northern Space Domain, and also the headquarters of the Cosmic Civilization Association in the Northern Space Domain."

"Once your civilization enters the association, you will need to send someone to contact the association's representative, who will then lead you to the headquarters for registration."

"Now, let me give you a detailed explanation of the history of the development of the Cosmic Civilization Association."

Chapter 428: Past Dark History

The development of the Cosmic Civilization Association was not too far from what the four had expected. It was simply an alliance that gradually developed into its current scale. Even when it entered the cosmic war, it could not escape this fixed pattern of evolution.

Therefore, after hearing half of it, the four of them had basically grasped the general model of this Cosmic Civilization Association.

With the girl's continuous explanations, including the specific details and the association's internal rules, the four of them thoroughly understood the situation. However, there was one rather strange thing.

The unknown young female lecturer's lectures, while not exactly lively and interesting, were very detailed. Facing four 'students' who were listening attentively to her lectures, the young lecturer actually expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the four of them for listening to her lectures so attentively just before the lecture was about to end.

All four shared the same question: Is it wrong for students to listen attentively? Why does it seem like this young female lecturer has never encountered normal students?

"So, at the end of this lesson, do you have any questions? You can ask anything, and I'll answer them for you. Even if you ask about the Cosmic Civilization Association's dark history, I can tell you—no one will know anyway!"

A dark history?

The four exchanged glances, and one of the intelligence agents asked without hesitation, "The biggest dark history? Does the Cosmic Civilization Association also have a dark history?"

"Of course! Every civilization has its own dark history, the only difference is how much or how little. The Cosmic Civilization Association is a cross-universe organization that encompasses almost all low-level and mid-level civilizations, and many advanced civilizations are willing to join the association to help these civilizations develop or solve some difficulties."

"I can tell you about the biggest dark history of our Cosmic Civilization Association, which happened in the early days of its establishment."

"At that time, a lower-level civilization asked us for help, saying that a mid-level civilization was constantly attacking them, trying to completely annihilate them. The association naturally couldn't stand by and watch a higher-level civilization bully a lower-level one."

"In addition, when the association was first established, most of the initial members were very extreme. The civilization to which the association belonged assembled a huge army and rushed towards that intermediate civilization, driving it directly back to its own home star system, causing the intermediate civilization's technological level to drop significantly as a lesson."

"But in less than a year, the intermediate civilization that had been taught a lesson was destroyed, and the culprit was the low-level civilization that had asked for help. After investigation, the association realized that it had been used. The low-level civilization used the association to destroy most of the other civilization's technology, army, and colonies, and then they invaded and destroyed the other civilization in return."

However, the four of them weren't particularly interested in the association's dark history. On the contrary, the blonde girl was talking about it with great enthusiasm, constantly telling the four of the association's dark history.

The more Hei Xi listened, the more she frowned. The more she listened, the more she felt that this Cosmic Civilization Association was abnormal. This was not an association; it was clearly a local tyrant!

The blonde girl even dragged out the class for a very, very long time before finally forcing herself to stop and end the lecture, realizing that much time had already passed.

After it was over, Hei hope sighed, "This isn't some kind of civilization association, it's a local tyrant!"

"Indeed...it's like a local tyrant, but it has also helped us obtain more detailed information. I have recorded all of this, and I will submit it directly to the higher-ups later."
