The system handed me over to the state.

"Unexpectedly weak... but a civilization that can master the technology to actively travel between worlds shouldn't be too weak, right?"

Old Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. In his opinion, the other party was capable of traversing worlds, so they couldn't possibly be considered a weak civilization. Even if their technological level was only that of a few decades after World War II, they shouldn't be underestimated.

"Um...about that..."

Tong Xi crossed her arms, causing her ample bosom to jiggle slightly. Su Mengyao's lips twitched for a moment before she quickly regained her composure and asked, "Can you confirm the approximate location where they appeared?"

"Well... while I can't help you directly, I can still give you a hint."

"If the intruder was not detected this time, then their landing location is most likely in the wilderness or at sea. If they were in a populated area, they would be easily detected."

Next, Tong Xi gave a general description of the changes that would occur when humans from another world entered this place. When humans from another world crossed the world barrier and entered this place, it would cause a high intensity of energy chaos. Because this was an invasion by the existence of another world, it was only necessary to monitor the energy of the entire country. Once a large-scale chaos occurred, it could be confirmed that there was an invasion by people from another world.

This relieved Su Mengyao and the others; thankfully, there were still preventative measures available.

"In that case... we need to set up a special department to deal with such invasions in the future. Moreover, considering the individual combat strength of humans from other worlds, we must also ensure that these people have strong combat capabilities... Dr. Ji Chengtian, how are your gene serum and psychic ability development progressing?"

Suddenly called out by Su Mengyao, Ji Chengtian calmly pushed up his glasses. "It's very troublesome... The gene serum is still in the human testing phase. This kind of gene modification is really too... difficult to solve. We need to make adjustments while preserving the pure genes of the Chinese people, and also ensure that there are no harms. Our progress is very slow."

"As for mental abilities, although Miss Seele has successfully awakened her mental abilities, Miss Seele herself is a special case and cannot be treated as a general individual for data collection, so... it's the same."

Su Mengyao sighed. It seemed that Shenzhou still had a long way to go before it could establish its own mental health department...

"So... what usable technologies are in the Civilization Package?"

"No, Your Majesty, we haven't even finished summarizing the contents of the Civilization Pack yet, but Bronya did..."

"No! There's no way to replicate what I did!"

Bronya immediately stopped Ji Chengtian from thinking in that direction and explained the whole situation clearly. She was able to do it entirely because of her Herrscher physique and Herrscher powers, and it was not replicable at all. Moreover, it was completely impossible for her to teach him.

"Isn't there a better way?"

"Actually, yes... Your Majesty."

At this moment, General Mu Ziming of the Northern Military Region prompted through holographic projection communication: "Your Majesty, we have a second contractor. She does not have the same rich combat experience as Major General Bronya. Perhaps we can use this opportunity to train her."

"Moreover, she certainly won't be able to go all out in her first battle. We can have her aim to defeat the enemy and then capture her alive, extract information about the other world from her, and then make preparations in advance."

"How about this: we can obtain the information we want while also giving our second contractor ample opportunity to hone their skills?"

Su Mengyao thought the plan was pretty good, but the problem was... Su Mengyao looked at Tong Xi and asked, "Miss Tong Xi, after the second contractor is confirmed, what are your plans?"

Tong Xi spread her hands, "According to the procedure, first, she will choose her own power, just like Bronya chose her own power back then, and her appearance will change depending on the different abilities she chooses."

"Then, three days later, the first mission will be carried out. The first mission is relatively simple, and the main purpose is to let the contractor become familiar with his or her power."

"Then what happened next was exactly the same as Bronya's experience. But I'm reminding you, the second contractor can gain power, but she won't get any rewards from missions. She can only increase her power through missions, understand?"

Su Mengyao blinked. "Can I understand that the first contractor's role is that of a guide, while the next two contractors are warriors responsible for protecting the guide?"

"It also protects your country's existence at critical moments. This is a privilege that only a few countries have: China, the United States, the Soviet Union, and a few European countries, that's all."

"That's definitely special treatment..."

Bronya couldn't help but sigh, the combat strength boost provided by the two additional contractors was not something that could be easily predicted.

"Then it's settled. Select a second contractor as soon as possible, and then prepare to train her. Bronya, focus all your efforts on your next mission and prepare for the selection of the second contractor."

With a wave of her hand, Su Mengyao finalized the subsequent action plan. Bronya prayed in her heart that it would be someone she knew.

Chapter 173: Your favorite Bronya~

In the private room, Seele sat blankly on the edge of the bed. The past few days had been like a dream, making it hard for her to believe. She was suddenly forced to survive in the wild, then rescued, and then met someone who looked exactly like her but had a different personality.

Seele patted her cheeks. What kind of strange thing was this?! How could there be someone in this world who looked exactly like her?! She couldn't understand it at all... Could it be a clone of herself? Was she cloned when she was a child? Was that her younger sister or older sister?

For a moment, Seele's mind started to wander. After a while, a soft whistle suddenly sounded. The habit she had developed over so long of training made her subconsciously rush out of the room and into the corridor.

The others in the next room reacted the same way. They looked at each other, puzzled by the sight of the corridor where they were alone. But then, the whistle blew again, and a soldier in uniform suddenly stepped out from around the corner. "Everyone! Attention!"

As the order came, Seele instinctively stood up straight, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

"Everyone, turn left and right!"

"follow me!"

Seele followed the soldier away with doubt. A few minutes later, they arrived at a spacious area. After everyone stood side by side, all 18 people looked at each other with doubt in their eyes.

At that moment, another door to the room opened, and Lao Yu and Bronya came out. Seele's eyes immediately showed shock. Bronya... what happened?

"Commander!"

After the soldiers saluted the two men, Lao Yu nodded and looked at Bronya, saying, "You can take over next."

Bronya nodded and stood in front of the 18 people. "Everyone, I know you have many questions in your hearts right now. In this selection, and in all the training we've done, you've never known what the purpose of your training was."

"However, even now, at this final step, I still cannot tell you what your purpose is in being here."

Bronya's lips curled slightly. "Seele Volleriane, step forward!"

Seele paused for a moment, then walked out in surprise, looking at Bronya with a puzzled expression. Bronya smiled and said, "Leave through the right exit. The rest of you, leave through the left exit. Someone will guide you outside the exit, and you will face new adjustments and choices."

"Now, let's go!"

Seele walked into the passage on the right with confusion and bewilderment, turning back to look at Bronya, who then winked at Seele.

After everyone left, Bronya breathed a sigh of relief. Old Yu, who was next to her, smiled and said, "So, she's the one you've been thinking about. What's your relationship with her?"

Bronya asked in confusion, "You didn't know? I thought you all knew."

"I really don't know. Would you mind telling me?"

"Um...we used to be...classmates, but I didn't expect you guys would actually listen to me."

Yes, Bronya really didn't expect it to end like this...

Initially, Lao Yu and Xiao Susu wanted her to manage matters related to the contractors, but she later found it too troublesome and simply became a hands-off manager.

However, the selection of the second contractor has now officially begun. Bronya really hopes that Seele can be selected, but the problem is that Seele's grades and performance are not among the top, so Bronya is having a headache.

Fortunately, during the discussion, Bronya thought of something: Stigmata. Seele in this world also has Stigmata. If it really works, then after Seele becomes a Contractor, she can also obtain the same powers as herself as a Herrscher with the help of the system.

Bronya used this point to persuade Su Mengyao and all the cabinet members present.

Honestly, her legs were trembling when she was talking to those cabinet members—it was terrifying! The way those big shots spoke and the aura emanating from them was truly terrifying.

Even though people kept telling her to relax, not to be too nervous, and that they didn't eat people, she was still nervous!

These bigwigs are the founders of China, who came up through the ranks after the end of World War II!

Bronya was shocked that she could persuade them, and at the same time, she realized the power she held in her hands. She could make the cabinet and Susu change their decisions because of her words... Did this mean that she held the power to change the entire Divine Land in some sense?

Bronya took a slow, deep breath, then exhaled deeply, and said, "Anyway, let's leave the rest to the system and go deal with the rest of the people."

“Great! I think there are a few good kids among them. They can stay and they're promising prospects.”

On the other side, Seele finally passed through the deep passage, only to find herself suddenly in a pure white space. Seele was stunned for a moment, and at that moment she also noticed that there was a woman in the distance, sitting in a chair, waving at her.

Seele peeked out of the passage and looked around. Apart from white, the only other colors in this pure white space were the woman and the table and chairs around her.

Seele tentatively stepped onto the white ground, confirming that it wasn't hollow but solid, before carefully approaching the woman. After getting closer, the woman said helplessly, "I'm not going to eat you, why are you being so cautious?"

"Excuse me, who are you? Where am I?"

The black-haired woman in front of him smiled gently. "Sit down. My name is Tong Xi. I'm the system that will be responsible for forming a contract with you. Have you read any novels? The kind of system novels."

Seele nodded. She had indeed read one or two of those novels, but wasn't very interested, so... she didn't continue reading. Later, she lost interest in that genre altogether. She preferred... something else entirely. Lost in her own thoughts, Seele blushed. She preferred yuri (lesbian) stories about two girls being affectionate...

"Hey, are you alright?"

At this moment, Tong Xi waved in front of Xi'er, who suddenly snapped back to reality. "Ah! Sorry! I'm sorry, I... I was just daydreaming!"

"It's alright, it's alright. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Tong Xi. I am a system, a system that has signed a contract with your Shenzhou. My current task is to make you the second contractor of Shenzhou."

"Contractor... I'm second... So who's first?"

"You know her, and you two are very close, guess what?"

Seele's expression gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and finally to shock. Tong Xi smiled and said, "It's her, Bronya, your favorite Bronya Zaychek."

Chapter 174: Really? Really!

"Wait! What do you mean 'my favorite'? I...I do like Bronya, but it's just...just...just a friend's liking!"

Tong Xi stared at Xi'er with a smile, "Do you really think so? When you said that, weren't you being dishonest?"

"I really didn't!"

"really?"

"real!"

"Really?"

"real....."

"Really?"

"Really...really..."

As Xi'er spoke, her tone grew weaker and weaker, until she finally lost her confidence. Tong Xi looked at Xi'er with the expression of someone who had been through it all and said, "Expressing your feelings is actually a very simple thing. Just go for it. And I feel that she will definitely accept it all. You don't need to worry about not getting a response to this question."

"Moreover, her indiscriminate acceptance seems to be directed only at two types of people."

Seele blinked, confused. Tong Xi continued, "She seems very interested in her counterpart and Seele's counterpart. I feel that if she had the ability, she would probably create a harem entirely composed of Seele or herself. Tsk... Isn't this girl afraid that one of them will turn evil and cause trouble?"

Xi'er looked completely blank. She didn't know what Tong Xi was saying, nor could she understand what it meant, so she could only express her confusion with this expression.

After grumbling for a while, Tong Xi got to the point and said, "Sorry, I got carried away with gossip. Getting back to the point, you were chosen by your country, so now you have an opportunity."

Tong Xi waved her hand, and a virtual screen unfolded in front of Seele, displaying patterns or weapons representing different powers.

"Choose one from these powers."

Seele looked at the system in front of her with a puzzled expression, shook her head and said, "I... don't quite understand. Could you explain it to me in detail?"

Tong Xi blinked, knowing that a detailed explanation would take a long time... "Please wait a moment."

So the system started contacting Bronya outside, because they had originally agreed on a time, but now it seemed that it might take longer, so it was better to let her know.
