The system handed me over to the state.

So for a time, there really wasn't a single air force pilot in the country who could immediately complete the training and fly the new fighter jets. Even though the pilots were extremely enthusiastic about the training, they were not allowed to fly unless they passed the training and got full marks, unless they wanted to break their arms or backs.

Therefore, General Lu Yunying, a full-time air force officer in the Eastern Military Region, proposed installing such training facilities inside the Air Force Academy so that all air force cadets, regardless of their studies or rank, would undergo training in this subject, with the only difference being the required score.

Meanwhile, some secret training bases will be built in advance. All high school graduates who pass the physical examination and are selected for the Air Force will sign a confidentiality agreement and undergo a period of adaptation training before entering the Air Force Academy.

All of this was carried out according to the principle of low-key and secret operation, because the higher-ups have now decided on a low-key approach. Let the US be high-profile, we'll just keep a low profile.

Therefore, the Air Force's training is currently conducted with the highest level of secrecy. As for this game pod, it is merely a training pod designed to help Air Force Academy students adapt more quickly to the new aircraft they may be flying in the future.

And... it really is just a little game, just a... game!

Chapter 46: Is it wrong to dress up your wife?

[I am His Majesty!] [Alright, stop speculating. It's just a little game; there's no need for such a big reaction.]

At this moment, an administrator appeared in the group and spoke. Bronya raised an eyebrow. This group member with the ID "I am His Majesty!" was a seemingly very powerful big shot in the group. In Bronya's memory, this person could always accurately identify the relevant national trends when speaking, and could even share some military mobilizations with the group members without hesitation.

Fortunately, it was a small group of less than a hundred people. If it had been a large group of thousands of people, his words would have caused him a lot of trouble if they had been spread.

Once Bronya herself became such a big shot, she also learned the fun of sharing these things with her silly group members. She seemed to react a lot and be very interested, but in reality, she just treated it as a joke, since the topics discussed in the group had nothing to do with her own life.

Absolutely, someone who sits at home and cares about national affairs, the only kind of person who cares.

[Duckling] [Mini-game? How do you know it's a mini-game?]

[I am His Majesty!] [Ahem...It's confidential, confidential, I can't say.]

Bronya raised an eyebrow. The meaning behind the other person's words... piqued her interest. It seemed the other person was also part of the organization, and even knew that it was a mini-game...

Interesting. Could the other party be a high-ranking official in the country, someone with power and status who knows the contents of this game pod?

Thinking about this, Bronya couldn't help but wonder who this person was, so should she have someone investigate? But after careful consideration, Bronya decided to give up.

[I am His Majesty!] [Alright, alright, I'll be frank with you. I have some information. This matter is top secret. Any leak of it would be tantamount to disclosing state secrets, so you... all need to think carefully, if you don't want to be beheaded.]

[Alsace] [Holy crap! State secrets involving beheadings!]

[Your Highness Bigglesworth] [Damn it, is it really okay for you to say something like that in the group chat?]

【I am His Majesty!】【Well, after all these years, I know your group members inside and out. I trust you won't leak anything. Alright, I'll touch you.】

After sending this message, the group member's avatar turned gray and went offline. Bronya arrived at the company's parking garage. After confirming that no one was around, Bronya got out of the car. The Reloaded Bunny automatically locked the car, detached itself from the sports car, and gave Bronya a series of head pats before disappearing again.

Half an hour later, upon arriving at her company's floor, Bronya was immediately greeted by her employees.

"Holy crap! Boss, you're finally here!"

"It's the boss! The boss is here!"

"Everyone! The beautiful female boss is here!"

Instantly, all the company's employees surrounded her. Bronya silently took off her sunglasses, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "I'll give you five seconds to disperse, or your wages will be halved."

A brief statement is indeed the most effective command. Instantly, the group of people surrounding Bronya dispersed and returned to their seats. Bronya put her sunglasses in her bag and walked towards her office.

Bronya's office is off-limits to anyone except the heads of a few project teams within the company.

Furthermore, Bronya's appearance is exactly the same as the Bronya character drawn by that lady named Han Han.

And the clue that Mrs. Han Han has always marked, which is based on a real person, means that what employees are most curious about is not what their boss does in his office, but whether their boss is the person in the story.

Bronya had just sat down in her office and hadn't even started working when there was a knock on the door. "Come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, a girl rushed into the office. Bronya's expression instantly became interesting. The girl excitedly unfolded the rolled-up drawing paper in her hand, "Look! Bronya, I designed a brand new outfit for you, I'm sure you'll love it!"

The drawing unfolds, revealing Bronya dressed in a blue and white Hanfu dress. Her gray hair, which was usually styled in double spirals, is now neatly combed.

Bronya subconsciously touched the long hair beside her ear; yes, it was a hairstyle she couldn't do herself.

"Thank you, Sister Han Han, but I really have enough clothes already."

Bronya's expression was quite interesting, for a simple reason: Han Han, the original artist of the character Bronya in this world, was the source of Bronya's character. After miHoYo's Honkai series disappeared, the characters in it became little darlings born from the pens of artists, and Bronya herself was born from Han Han's pen.

Ever since Han Han signed a contract with the company and met me, she instantly changed her usual lazy, caterpillar-like personality and started frantically drawing and learning to design clothes, all so that she could wear these clothes herself.

According to her, the character of Bronya was designed based on her own imagination of her wife. What's wrong with dressing up and adorning her wife?

The Hanfu she's holding now is very standard, with a blue and white color scheme and some gray accents. However... this design makes her look like a married woman, with that married woman's smile and demeanor... Clearly, she prefers a cuter and more lively style.

Being a married woman... is really not suitable for me.

"Hmm, it's okay. It's fine for a girl to have more clothes. Besides, you're so young and beautiful. If you don't seize this opportunity, you won't have another chance to wear them. I'll make this set later, and you can try it on!"

Bronya nodded helplessly and left the office amidst Han Han's excited cheers. A moment later, Bronya remembered the dozen or so dresses and skirts designed by Han Han in her wardrobe, and she immediately felt a headache coming on. They were beautiful, but none of them were the kind of clothes that she could wear normally!

Sigh, one more skirt. Other girls are happier the more pretty clothes and skirts they have, but why do I get more and more annoyed the more I have?

"Boss, you're finally back."

The door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Bronya instantly snapped out of her slumped-over state on the table. "What's wrong?"

"There is something very important that I need you to resolve. This is a recent data report."

The person handed the report to Bronya, who glanced at it and frowned. "What does Penguin want? We're a state-owned enterprise now. Does he even want to target state-owned enterprises like us?"

"Yes... During our current closed beta phase, after live streaming and videos were allowed, the number of paid trolls was even three times the number of our beta testers, leading to a significant number of casual players rejecting and slandering our game... If this continues, our game's reputation and rating may drop to their lowest point before the official release."

Chapter 47: Our game is anything but lewd!

Bronya stared at the data report in her hand. "What are the current comments and hot topics of discussion among the beta testers?"

"Currently, the reviews are quite consistent, with many people optimistic about our game. Among the 10,000 beta testers we selected, the daily online time reached as high as 8000 people per hour. The main topics of discussion are the character designs, the storyline, and the gacha pool."

Bronya tapped the table. Currently, she had only released three B-rank characters in the gacha pool, along with the A-rank characters Striker Ranger and Silver Wolf, and the seven characters Reverse God Witch. The Stigmata system was not yet available because Bronya did not intend to follow the old path of the original game, with exclusive Stigmata and exclusive weapons. She planned to make the combinations of weapons and Stigmata more diverse.

What are they all discussing?

Bronya put down the report and continued to ask questions. The person in charge in front of her smiled. He was very happy. In all his years as a professional game developer, this was the first time he had seen a game with such a high percentage of players online and such bizarre reviews.

"Regarding character design, players are mainly discussing the armor design; they want... us to design it to be a bit... sleazy!"

Bronya raised an eyebrow. Should we say that all the players in this batch are idiots? But it's true that in the original Honkai Impact 3, what keeps players engaged for a long time is the characters. Only the top players keep pursuing strength, Abyss, Battlefield, etc., while most casual players focus on the characters.

"Hmm...a little astringent..."

At that moment, Bronya thought about what would happen if she dressed a little more revealingly... Ugh! Damn it! Bronya, what are you thinking?! You should go for the cute look, not the revealing one! That's what older women do!

"Here's a few suggestions: Mei, go for a sultry style, but be careful not to overdo it. I don't want to get any warnings from the censors. Kiana, go for a cool style. Yae Sakura, be conservative in the early stages, but also go for a sultry style later. As for Bronya..."

The planner in front of her began to look forward to Bronya! While the other three characters might have appeared because of the original artists, everyone in their company believed that Bronya was a character designed by their boss based on himself! Even the name is exactly the same! And the character's appearance is practically a carbon copy of their boss as a child!

So what kind of path will the boss let the character based on himself take?

"Bronya... it's still uncertain. I'll discuss it with Han Han later. With so many clothes and original drawings she designed, you can just pick one to use, right?"

The planner suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "That's right! Miss Han Han designed so many outfits, all based on the boss's designs, and there are also original drawings of various poses. We can just take any type and make it into a model!"

"By the way, also tell the production team to make the character's body model and clothes separately. Is that possible?"

The game planner's expression froze for a moment. He suddenly recalled a game company's bizarre practice: they made all the character models and clothing separately, allowing players to freely replace their character's outfits. Later, even R18 and LT mods appeared. This eventually blew up, prompting the censorship department to intervene and ban the game...

"Boss... there are precedents for this! Is it really the right thing for us to do?"

Bronya raised an eyebrow. "If you were to do a good job of oversight, would this happen? If someone actually dared to make such a model, wouldn't you be the first to report and monitor them?"

"Let the production team produce according to these guidelines first, but don't leak it out yet; it's not the right time."

"The Penguin's online trolls... Recently, quite a few of our company's employees have received calls and text messages from Penguin, offering very generous terms in hopes that we will resign and go to them."

Bronya sighed helplessly. "Penguin, oh penguin, can't you change your methods a little? With all that energy and money, why don't you develop a phenomenal game yourself?"

Has anyone left?

"No! Everyone knows what kind of company Tencent is. Most importantly, boss, this is the first state-owned game company in China! Everyone has high hopes for it!"

Bronya nodded. The fact that no one had run away was the most gratifying thing for her, and her mood improved. "Keep up the good work. If the game successfully goes into beta testing by the end of the year, everyone's year-end bonus coefficient will be increased by 0.3."

"The boss is so generous! Hehe, I'll tell them the good news right away!"

The planner left Bronya's office excitedly. Bronya breathed a sigh of relief. Penguin... since you resorted to such methods, you can't blame her.

Bronya promptly took out her phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later, Li Lingyu's voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello? Bronya, are you having a good vacation?"

"Uncle Li, I'm very happy and comfortable on vacation, but there's something I need your help with."

"Let's get straight to the point. Tell me what's on your mind. I'll help you with anything I can!"

Li Lingyu readily agreed. He knew that Bronya must have needed his help for something. Given her contributions to the country, he was willing to help her with any small favors he could offer, as long as they weren't illegal.

So, Bronya told Li Lingyu about Tencent's recent online trolling and poaching activities. Although it was a small matter, not even a particularly outrageous one, Bronya wanted to give Tencent a warning: You dare mess with a state-owned enterprise? Does Tencent really not want to survive in China anymore? Do you really want to become a foreign company?

"As expected... Good, I'll help with this. And to be honest, many people at the top are very unhappy with Penguin, but they've been struggling to find a suitable opportunity to make a move. Now you've given them a reason to act."

"Just watch closely, the penguin will pay the price. If that guy continues to do as he pleases, we won't mind finding someone else to replace him in China!"

After successfully finding Big Head to help her, Bronya happily ended the call. With four months until the mission began, she could finally focus on dealing with things in the real world.

Just as Bronya was getting ready to work, her phone rang again. But this time, the caller wasn't from back home, but... Bronya!

After the call connected, Bronya's emotionless voice came through: "Hello? Is this the other Bronya?"

Suddenly seized by a mischievous thought, Bronya pinched her nose and tried to make her voice as soft as possible, "Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later."

Unbeknownst to Bronya, on the other end of the phone, Himeko, Theresa, Kiana, Mei, and Fu Hua were all staring intently at the phone in Bronya's hand. For a moment, the Valkyries exchanged bewildered glances, while Bronya's forehead veins bulged. This guy... can't he just have a proper conversation?!

Chapter 48: The Second Attack

"Your Majesty, we need your help!"

Before Yuzuru Hanakata, this supreme being from Japan, bowed respectfully, prostrated himself on the ground, and shouted loudly.

The Emperor gazed at Haneda Tetsuya before him and slowly said, "I have already given you the resources and manpower you need. What exactly are you lacking?"

Yu Zhongtian slowly raised his head, then quickly lowered it again. "We're lacking... a weapon... The Ghost King mech's weapon is the powerful mech itself, but because of its excessive size, it easily becomes a sitting duck on the battlefield. The Ghost King originally had a pair of high-energy laser cannons around its eyes, but... we don't have the corresponding laser technology..."

"Then go and do research! Yu Zhongtian Tetsu, you are a researcher. If you don't have the technology, you should develop it, instead of coming to me to ask for it! Do you understand?"
