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

"Qibao, how dare you call me that?"

Kiana swung her sword again, but she knew by now that she was no match for "her." After all, "she" could move even with "Absolute Spacetime Fracture"... It was too outrageous...

Bronya dodged the sword while speaking.

"Okay, stop being so cutesy. Come to think of it, I think I should call you the mistress of the house."

Kiana swung her sword a few more times, only to find that she couldn't harm the "person" in front of her in the slightest. Besides, the person didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her. After all, if she did, the person could have attacked her while she was sleeping, and she had been dodging the attack the whole time without fighting back. So... she gave up~ (crossed out) and used her righteous verbal persuasion!

"Hey, who are you? And why are you calling me 'mistress'?"

Bronya thought for a moment.

"Fine, I might as well tell you everything. My host has already told you most of it anyway."

Then, Bronya explained for half an hour, and Kiana finally understood.

"Ah, no wonder my captain has so many strange abilities, it turns out they were all given to him by you."

Bingo! You got it right!

"Seriously, you're amazing. I have absolutely no way to deal with you."

The system, dressed in the 'Bronya' suit, smiled.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't hurt you. Besides, my strength is actually linked to the host's strength. The stronger he is, the stronger I am."

"So, you mean I can't beat Juexi right now?"

"If my host possessed all the power, such as the 'Power of the End' and could flexibly utilize other bonuses, you wouldn't be able to, but his combat experience isn't as extensive as yours right now, so he can't do it either~"

"Hey, I'm supposed to be your mistress. Can't you give me some face? Besides, why are you dressed like this?"

"Isn't it cute? I looked through the host's memories and found that this was my favorite, so I used it."

Kiana was speechless.

"Okay, okay, so why am I here?"

"Because this is a trial for the host. If you were there, it would be like cheating. After all, you are a 'Herrscher of the End' and you can definitely help the previous civilization overcome the crisis. That would create a lot of bugs, so we banned you directly."

Kiana was ashamed.

"System, is that how you always talk...?"

"Luckily, I learned it from the host. By the way, I watched the whole recording of your battle with the host last night~"

"Hey! That kind of thing is completely unnecessary! You're such a system!"

"Hey~"

Chapter 134 VIP Viewing Room

"Alright, alright, Kiana, aren't you worried about your captain?"

Kiana didn't seem to care. What was there to worry about? He was so smart.

"Something's not right. The host's current state is very strange."

Kiana's expression immediately changed upon hearing this, and she spoke with concern.

"Let me get some help!"

With a wave of the system's hand, a large screen appeared out of thin air.

Kiana looked at the big TV and complained.

"Why can I still see the captain's thoughts?"

The system looked proud.

"That's what this system is capable of. How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"

Kiana ruffled her hair like she was comforting a child.

"Amazing! The captain's system is the best!"

"Hmph~"

The system looked proud. Kiana was too easy to talk to, and she would even flatter and praise it. She was much better than that host, who would always look down on it. The difference between the two was obvious.

Kiana thought to herself, "This system seems like a little kid, so easy to please, much cuter than Bronya. After all, the real Bronya would never let me pat her head like that."

With a wave of the system's hand, the surrounding space changed, and the two found themselves in a cozy room, sitting on the sofa and reading about Jue Xi's experiences.

……

Kiana was a little unhappy when she saw that everyone still remembered her, but she got really angry when she saw the captain struggling with whether or not to help rescue people.

"You idiot captain, if you dare to stand by and watch me die, you're dead! When we meet again, don't even think about sleeping with me! Why are you making such a fuss over something so simple!"

The system, munching on popcorn, spoke out in defense of its host.

"That's not right, Kiana. If the host really helped the previous civilization successfully fight against the Honkai and destroy the End, then you will definitely disappear. Because you are, after all, a clone researched by Otto. Without the Honkai, Otto wouldn't have researched so many things, and of course, the good thing is that not so many people would have died."

Kiana was a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered and said...

"This...this is good, isn't it? Yes. This is great! It can save so many people, but..."

Why am I feeling a little reluctant now? Before, I would have agreed immediately. No, I would still agree now.

The system, however, agrees.

“That’s right, I also think this is the best outcome, but my host doesn’t think so. You see, he doesn’t really want to help the previous civilization completely eliminate the Honkai. He’s been struggling with this for a long time. Because he doesn’t want you to disappear. So, human emotions are really a hindrance; they can affect judgment.”

Kiana remained silent, watching the screen until the captain finally made his decision, calling Hua and rescuing Carol's family. Kiana felt a sense of relief.

"Hmph, you think you're human, Mu Juexi? If you don't save Carol, I'll never speak to you again."

The system suddenly asked Kiana a question.

"Kiana, if you and the host switched places, would you choose not to save the previous civilization in order to prevent Mu Juexi from disappearing? Or would you abandon Juexi, not hold back, and save the world?"

"I."

Kiana remained silent for a moment.

"I won't let the water out."

The system nodded after listening.

"That's a good answer. It aligns with my rational and systematic viewpoint. In this situation, we should abandon our emotions."

Kiana felt something was off; it seemed like the system was mocking her as an emotionless robot.

"Why are you asking me this? If it were you, wouldn't you do it this way, System?"

The system put down the popcorn and said the most terrifying thing in a babyish voice.

"Sacrificing one person to save everyone, to save a civilization. Undoubtedly, that would be heroic, the best solution. However… I wouldn't do that. In my view, the host's value far outweighs those people. My existence is solely to serve the host. If I really had to choose, then all these humans could die. After all, what do their lives have to do with me? They couldn't overcome the difficulties on their own; are they going to condemn me for not helping? A bunch of insignificant people. After all, I'm a system; as long as my host lives, that's enough…"

Kiana didn't say anything. She didn't want to argue with a program, and besides, her brain capacity probably couldn't compete with the system's.

Kiana praised the system after a while.

"I didn't realize you were so loyal."

"Of course, I was born to serve the host. If the host has any needs in that regard, I will satisfy them. After all, a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes."

Kiana really couldn't take it anymore this time.

"Hey! What a strange analogy! I'm still the legitimate wife here, is that alright? You're putting a hat on my head! I'm still alive!"

The system had a disdainful expression on its face.

"I was just joking because the atmosphere was too serious. But... what if you died?"

"what?"

Kiana was completely bewildered. What did this mean?

The system knew Kiana didn't understand, so it continued.

"What I mean is, if the host really defeats the 'Herrscher of the End' and saves the previous civilization, Kiana, you will definitely disappear. Then I will take your form to comfort the host~ and then be with him~"

"Can't!"

Kiana immediately stood up and glared angrily at the system.

The system asked with a smile.

"Why not? You'd be dead by then. Even if you did it, you wouldn't know."

Kiana angrily grabbed the system by the collar and lifted her up. This time, the system didn't dodge.

"The captain is mine, and you're not allowed to look like me, or be with him..."

The system seemed unconcerned about making things worse.

Why bother with him?

Kiana is now both angry and somewhat embarrassed.

"Sleep...sleep...only I can."

"So, Kiana, it's up to your captain to choose. He might really disappear~"

Kiana bit her lip hard; there was nothing she could do about it, even if she got angry. Kiana released the system, straightened her clothes, and sat back down on the sofa.

"Oh, right, just a reminder, Kiana. If the host does *that* kind of thing with another girl, it will be played on the screen in real time."

"No need to remind me of this! Besides, I trust the captain."

The system picked up the popcorn again, watching its host slay the assassins with his sword, and said...

"Really? I think Alicia is a big threat to you."

"Yes."

Kiana's mind raced. The captain had told her the story of the "Paradise of the Past," and Alicia was the thirteenth Herrscher, the first Herrscher, fighting for humanity. She was the only Herrscher in the previous civilization. She must have been very lonely. Now, her captain, a powerful Herrscher fighting for humanity, was offering herself up. How could Alicia not seize the opportunity… This was troublesome. Before, it was alright when she was around. Now, they didn't even remember Kiana.

The system noticed that Kiana seemed distracted and greeted her.

"Hey, Kiana. Your captain has already started attacking the Herrscher of Thunder."

"Okay, let's fight then."

"Hey Kiana, your captain cut the Herrscher of Thunder in two with one sword."
