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

Kiana suddenly remembered something after saying that.

"Yes, right. Um, that..."

Seeing Qi Bao getting talkative, Jue Xi realized that this was the Domination Theater. "Would Kiana be upset here since she doesn't have any power right now?" Jue Xi asked with concern.

"What's wrong, Qibao? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chapter 13?!

"Oh no! I meant... how to make your... puppet..."

Kiana's voice trailed off, but since only Juexi and Kiana were present, Juexi clearly heard the last two words. Juexi was shocked...

"Ah this..."

Kiana hurriedly explained, her face as red as a boiled crab.

"Don't get me wrong! You perverted captain! I've thought this through carefully. If we wait here for 24 hours, my powers will be restored, and once we get out, you'll only be able to use 70% of the power of the End. But if I become your... what kind of puppet, then we can both use 120% of the power of the End. Isn't that a great deal?"

Jue Xi smiled, squeezed her hand, and said seriously.

"First of all, that word is 'deeply considered,' not 'unprepared,' Qibao. You used the idiom well, but don't use it again next time. Secondly, I disagree. 70% of my strength is more than enough for me, I don't even need it. Anyway, you'll protect me, right? I think it's enough for me to live off you."

After saying that, Juexi looked at Kiana beside her and continued.

"And if something happens, if I did that and I'm no longer here, and it drags you down with me, I'll hate myself..."

Kiana immediately interrupted Juexi.

"what?!"

Kiana then hurriedly explained.

"If you had the power of the End of Power at 120%, why would you die?? You did it on purpose! Besides, what if I can't protect you? Let me make this clear, I'm not concerned about you, you idiot captain. I'm talking about what if I'm not by your side one day and you get into danger. And how can you, a grown man, so confidently say that you want to live off me and have me protect you?"

Jue Xi said with a smile.

"It's okay, Qibao. I've been learning gun-fu with you these past few days."

Kiana recalled the scene of herself fighting Honkai Beasts with her half-baked gun-fu, and spoke up.

"That kind of stuff... is simply not enough."

Kiana blushed and shouted out the rest of the words.

"I don't care, you promised me you wouldn't die so easily, and you can't use the first rule of your powers. I, Kiana, will be your puppet, Mu Juexi! You idiot captain!"

Just as Jue Xi was about to speak, the surrounding Domination Theater gradually disappeared.

"Congratulations, host, on acquiring your first puppet. Congratulations! I didn't realize that. I asked you to seduce Kiana, and this is how you complete the task."

Jue Xi angrily questioned the system in her heart, even though the extra power in her body had already given her the answer.

"System, shut up! Why did the Domination Theater disappear?!"

The system explained.

"Because within the Theater of Domination, as long as the plundered person is willing to become the host's puppet, the power will take effect, just like the previous Herrscher of Domination. When a person is chosen, as long as he or she chooses to fall, he or she will become one of the thousands."

Jue Xi also spoke to the system.

"I'm going to shut down the first ability of my powers; I won't use it."

The system readily agreed to Juexi's request.

"it is good."

For a moment, Jue Xi felt something was wrong, very wrong. The system should disagree with his idea, right? But then he thought it was better if it agreed; his goal had been achieved. Otherwise, if one day he were gone, and Kiana was also gone, and he were resurrected, he would feel terribly guilty. He wouldn't live alone… Jue Xi thought to himself. Feeling the warmth from his palm, he came to his senses and looked at Kiana beside him.

Kiana knew exactly what Juexi was thinking. After all, the captain was a good person... She noticed that the captain hadn't spoken and his expression wasn't good after they came out, so she squeezed Juexi's hand.

"Captain, why are you so quiet? Cheer up! We've all gotten stronger!"

Jue Xi smiled; how could he not see that Qi Bao was comforting him?

"Alright, you silly paramecium, are you hungry? Shall we go home for dinner?"

Why think so much? With my 120% End Power plus Kiana, and her being a Herrscher with 120% End Power herself, what's there to be afraid of? I also have the system, and I'll become even stronger. I can definitely protect the people important to me. It's nothing, I don't want to think about it too much. There's a beauty beside me too~ Hehe. Thinking these things, Juexi squeezed Kiana's hand in response.

"Idiot Captain! Don't call me an idiot paramecium, are you asking for a beating?"

Kiana feigned anger, waving her little fist to reveal her fangs, looking extremely fierce. Yes, very fierce.

"Pfft~"

Seeing this, Juexi burst out laughing, speaking as if coaxing a child.

"Okay~ Qibao, is my cutest and smartest Qibao hungry? How about we go back for dinner? We've been practicing for ages."

Kiana emphasized, taking the captain's left hand as they walked towards the base. The base, because of the captain's sudden arrival, felt like home… Kiana thought, "That's wonderful. It would be even better if everyone were here. I'll definitely introduce the captain to everyone when I have the chance."

"Hmph, that's more like it, but I'm not your Qibao, I'm Mei's! Captain, I'm hungry! Time to eat!"

Kiana said with a smile.

"Hey, Captain, I want to eat sweet and sour pork today."

"Okay~ you little glutton~"

After answering, Juexi smiled and patted Kiana's head with her other hand.

The next morning...

Kiana rubbed her eyes as she walked downstairs and saw a table without breakfast, so she asked...

"Captain, why isn't breakfast ready yet?"

Chapter 14 Captain...

"captain?"

Kiana called out to the captain, but this time no one answered her.

"Captain!"

"Shepherd, oh!"

"Get out of here right now, or I'll get angry, Captain!"

"You idiot captain, come out now! If you don't come out, I'll never let you touch my head, hold my hand, or call me Qibao again!"

……

……

Kiana turned the entire base upside down, three times over, but still couldn't find the captain.

"Captain...you're such a big liar! You promised to cook for me every day..."

Looking back on those two and a half months, he felt as if he had become someone important to him, like family.

"No, Kiana, you have to pull yourself together. The captain might have gone out. Let's go outside and look for him again."

Kiana encouraged herself, deciding to go out and find the captain.

the other side……

"System!!! How did I suddenly come back!"

Jue Xi hurriedly inquired with the system.

"Because of the host, the mission has been perfectly completed. Kiana's affection for you is now four stars, second only to Raiden Mei. Furthermore, Kiana has become the host's puppet. You have gained 120% of the End Power. This is considered a perfect completion of the mission, and you have successfully conquered her."

"What are you saying? Can't I understand? You're making me so angry! What I mean is, how am I supposed to get back? Kiana must be worried because she can't find me. At least let me make some breakfast to say goodbye."

"Host, this system is powerless to help you. You cannot travel to the Honkai World in the short term. Please complete the main quest."

"I now have 120% of the End Power, I can sweep through Teyvat now, right? System, if you do this, I can't guarantee I won't do something rash."

The system responded calmly.

“I believe you, host, would not do that. Every living being in Teyvat is a living being.”

"Moreover, although the host's power is 120%, only 10% can be used. Any more and Teyvat will break down because it can't withstand it. You should know about the destruction of Kanria. It was mainly because the energy of this world bubble was limited, and Kanria developed something that shouldn't have existed."

In the end, all that's left is to bluff.

"Don't talk to me about this nonsense. I need to see Kiana now, or I might do something bad."

The system said it didn't care.

"If you wish, Master, please do so. There is no need to ask this system. The host will become a demon that kills everyone in the world of Teyvat, and will also fail the mission and die completely. The host's complete death will cause Kiana to die completely as well. At that time, I will find a new, obedient host."

Jue Xi took a deep breath. He had never felt the air in Teyvat so cold, although the coldness might be the reality the system had described.

"You can't do anything."

System finishing blow.

Juexi calmed down helplessly.

"Indeed, I can't do anything. System, give me a reward, the reward for conquering Kiana."

Calm down and think it over carefully, this is the only way; there's no other option. Besides, the system just said that it's impossible to go to the Honkai world for a short time, which implies it will be possible later. The most important thing now is to complete the "main quest" and meet Kiana as soon as possible. Juexi also knows that threatening the system is useless; what can a program that only assists her do?

The system's tone softened slightly.

"The host seems to have figured it out. Very good, you have a strong ability to accept things."

Jue Xi even apologized to the system.

"I was not calm just now, I'm sorry."

The system replied.

"Are you apologizing? Normally I might tease you a bit, but now I'm telling you, this system is just a tool to assist you. There are some things I can't prevent from happening; you can only rely on yourself. I only dare to say this because I know you definitely won't do it."

Jue Xi also discovered something: this system has a high degree of artificial intelligence. However, it's not very human-like. Although it can advise you when you're not calm and even tease you when you're happy, it lacks human warmth. In the end, it's more like a mentor and friend, and it probably doesn't have any bad intentions. It's a matter of mechanism that it completed the task and was teleported back, so blaming the system won't help.

"Since the host has completed the mission of going to the Honkai world to conquer any Valkyrie, a reward is issued."
