Genshin Impact: Starting Guide - End of the World Qi Bao

Kiana also responded to Paimon's enthusiasm.

"Hello, Paimon and Ying, please take care of me from now on."

Chapter 44: Invite the Immortal

After walking with Kiana, the Traveler, and Paimon for a while, Juexi asked the system in her mind.

"System, can I get my reward now?"

"Detection in progress... Host has completed. Congratulations on completing the first phase of the Teyvat mission. Rewards have been issued."

Reward 1.

The ice elemental power originally plundered from the 'Lady' has been upgraded to the Herrscher of Ice Authority. Note: (This is only the authority, not the Herrscher Core, such as your End Authority, and this Herrscher Authority can be given to puppets.)

Jue Xi pondered how to use this power.

"Um, this power isn't very useful. Can it be given to a puppet? Well, that would be 'Lady,' and we can give it to Rosalind if she performs well. But that won't work either; this thing is too powerful for Teyvat. We can only give her a little bit."

Reward Two.

Unknown sword technique (modified version), description omitted, power unknown.

When Juexi received this reward, she felt as if she had been enlightened by a martial arts novel. The exquisite sword techniques were deeply engraved in her mind. The moves seemed ordinary, but they had a kind of earth-shattering power.

"I've decided, I'll call you 'Tai Xu Sword Technique', hehe, anyway, Fu Hua isn't here, no one will report me."

Reward 3. The Tenth Divine Key, "Sword of Domination" (Modified Version), originally the "Xuanyuan Sword" (Key of Domination), was originally a mass-produced set of 1000 swords. It could change its appearance according to the wielder's style, such as the Void Grip, Xuanyuan Sword, or Ruoshui. Now, after modification by this system, only one sword exists, combining the power of the original 1000 swords and surpassing them—one sword is stronger than a thousand. Its weakness is that it only has one one-handed sword form; its strength is its immense power (comparable to the Annihilation Sword in the hands of the Demon King Kevin). When used in conjunction with Domination Power, it can directly pull the attacked person into the Domination Theater for verbal attacks.

"They just gave me swordsmanship and now they've given me a sword, this is really great~ But let's forget about the talk show stuff..."

There was a moment of utter silence.

Reward 4: 10,000 points, current points: 13,000.

"The original amount was 2,000, and you get 1,000 for daily check-in, so now it's 13,000. Okay, you didn't shortchange me."

"Okay, I'll give you a discount next time."

"You trash system, you don't need to underestimate me. Besides, you've been giving me such a powerful cheat code all this time, isn't that great?"

"Okay, I won't give it to you next time."

"No, please give me more. It's always good to have more skills."

Amidst laughter and chatter, Juexi and his companions arrived in Liyue.

"If we want to find the Geo Archon, we only have this one chance a year. It's all thanks to Venti's reminder beforehand, otherwise we would definitely have missed this year's 'Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony'."

Paimon was still fulfilling his duties as a guide.

"Does Paimon know the exact time?"

Yingmei, who was already quiet, had her lines stolen by Kiana.

"Hmm... Paimon doesn't know, maybe tomorrow or the day after? Since we're in Liyue, why don't we ask the locals? By the way, Juexi, aren't you from Liyue? How long until the 'Seven Stars Summoning Ceremony'?"

"Yeah, Captain, are you from Liyue?"

Kiana asked, "The captain only said he came from another world, but we still don't know where he's from. That doesn't make sense. If the captain is from Liyue, how could he know so much about what happened to him?"

"Um... I'm not actually from Liyue. Like the Traveler, I come from another world."

Yingmei became excited upon hearing this.

"Then, Juexi, have you ever met that 'Guardian of Heaven'?"

After saying that, she glanced at Juexi's lover... This Miss Kiana looks a bit like the 'Supporter of Heaven' who sealed her brother, but she's not as arrogant, and her eye color is different...

"Um... I've never seen it before."

She hadn't lied to anyone, she'd never seen the real thing. She wondered what would happen if Yingmei saw the Herrscher of the Void, Kiana… Lost in thought, she inexplicably looked at Kiana.

"Why are you looking at me, Captain?"

Kiana suddenly felt very uncomfortable being watched by Juexi; he must be thinking something bad.

"By the way, Kiana, why do you call yourself 'Sword Master Juexi'? Is Juexi very skilled with a sword?"

Paimon asked a question.

"Um, this..."

Kiana didn't know how to explain for a moment, and looked at Juexi with pleading eyes.

"Of course I can use a sword, I am the God of Swords."

Jue Xi said with a proud look, "I brag without thinking."

"Sword God!"

Xiao Paimeng and Yingmei said in unison, "You've completely fooled me."

"But Teyvat only has seven gods, no wonder you know so much."

Paimon even started to believe you.

"Well, I'm self-proclaimed. I only know a little about swordsmanship."

Jue Xi saw them believe it and said it humbly.

"Alright, Juexi, I'm going to give you an awful nickname, I'll call you... 'Sword Wielder'."

Paimon proudly put his hands on his hips, quite pleased with the nickname he'd given you.

"Pfft, a swordsman!"

Kiana couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, but then glanced at her captain and didn't laugh too loudly.

"Hey~ Qibao, laugh if you want to, don't hold it in. Speaking of which, shouldn't we be researching the 'Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ritual' now?"

"Yes, let's hurry up and ask some real locals."

Paimon Jr. made the suggestion.

"Oh, by the way, the currency Mora, which is currently in circulation, was created by the Geo Archon Morax. However, if we outsiders dare to call the Geo Archon that, we will be downgraded to 'unreasonable outsiders.' So, let's just use the name 'Geo King' as much as the people of Liyue."

Paimon provided a thoughtful explanation.

And Jue Xi was saying that.

"If you ask me, the Rock God wouldn't care."

"Juexi, keep your voice down. How do you know? What if the 'Rock King Emperor' has a bad temper?"

"I am the Sword God!"

That's the ultimate boasting.

"You've got to be kidding me, swordsman."

“Let’s go straight to Wanmin Hall and ask about the Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony. We’ve been walking for so long, everyone must be hungry. It’s on me.”

Jue Xi suggested, thinking that Qi Bao must be hungry.

"Wow, the food at 'Wanmintang' sounds delicious. You're such a good person, swordsman."

Paimon was immediately delighted when he heard there was food.

"Paimon..."

Yingmei was speechless. How could she have raised such a thing? It was so embarrassing.

Kiana took her hand and spoke.

"Let's go, Yingmei, I'm a little hungry too."

Yingmei said shyly.

"Well, that's fine."

After saying that, Ying thought to herself, Kiana probably really isn't that god; she's really enthusiastic towards her. At this moment, Ying is unaware that Kiana is enthusiastic towards all pretty girls…

"I really want to take a picture and show it to Mei."

Kiana overheard Jue Xi's whispered words and turned to look at her.

"You can sleep by yourself tonight, hmph."

"Huh? No, Qibao."

Jue Xi hurriedly went to pull Qiyana away, but she dodged him.

"What are you doing? Go lead the way, let's go eat, Captain."

"Okay, okay, sigh."

As they passed a tea shop, a short-haired man in a brown suit glanced at Jue Xi and her companions, then turned away, took a sip of tea, and spoke softly.

"Liyue is really going to be lively now."

……

Upon arriving at Wanmintang, Juexi went to Master Mao's place and ordered a bunch of dishes. After he returned, Kiana pulled Juexi outside and spoke to him.

"Hey, Captain, did you feel something? It seemed like a very strong person was watching us just now."

"Oh, I know, it's okay, Qibao, it's just the Rock God."

In fact, Juexi didn't know, but Kiana noticed. After talking to Kiana, Juexi realized after a little thought that the only one who would pay attention to us immediately upon our arrival was the Geo Archon Morax.

"Oh, the Geo Archon... What! The Geo Archon! Is it the 'Morax' that Paimon just mentioned?"

"Yes, it's alright, don't worry, Qi Bao. The bard who led you yesterday was the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt. This world isn't that dangerous. Morax is a respectable and upright person, so don't worry."

"So, how powerful are the gods of this world, roughly...?"

"By the way, Qibao, let me tell you, you can't use the power of the end. This world can't withstand it. If you do use it, you can only use a small amount. Under normal circumstances, you just stay by my side and don't have to take action. If it's really necessary, use the form of the Herrscher of Fire. If someone asks you, just say that you have the Eye of the Fire God. Yes, this is for you."

After saying that, Juexi took out a fake fire-type God's Eye and handed it out.

"I understand, Captain. By the way, you really know how to use a sword?"

"Oh, the food is ready, Qibao, let's hurry back, or Paimon will eat it all."

"Hey, Captain, your technique for changing the subject is terrible. How much can Paimon eat?"

Kiana looked over in disbelief, thinking that someone as small as Ai-chan couldn't possibly eat much, but she was truly astonished.
