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

"Wow! This treasure is amazing! Kiana, is this a gift for me?"

Hu Tao asked Kiana excitedly.

"Of course, Sister Walnut, let's add each other as friends. You see, this person is me."

Kiana used Kurumi's phone to open the communication app, found her own profile picture, and clicked on it to bring up a chat window.

"Right now you can only talk to me... because there are very few people with cell phones in Teyvat, but there may be more in the future."

"Wow, this is amazing! By the way, Kiana, how does this 'phone' work? Is it a 'God's Eye'? You and I both have 'God's Eyes' made of fire element."

Kurumi pointed to Kiana's waist, where a gleaming Eye of God was visible. (Fake)

"Ah, that's right. The energy consumed by the phone comes from elemental power. Yes, that's right. But the amount of elemental power required is so small that it's usually imperceptible."

"Oh, I see. So now I can talk to you anytime I want."

"Hmm, Little Walnut, do you know where Mr. Zhongli is?"

“Zhongli Guest Elder…”

Hu Tao thought for a moment.

“He went to ‘Liuli Pavilion’ for dinner yesterday, and today he’s preparing for the Sending-Off-Immortals Ceremony… Judging by the time, he’s probably at the Seven Heavenly Statues right now choosing incense for Lord Yan. Let me take you to him.”

"Oh, thank you, Little Walnut."

"Hehe, no need to be so polite."

the other side……

"System, what do you think would happen if I made a game?"

"Sigh, you still remember that I exist as a system? You only see the new ones laughing, and you never hear the old ones crying. Why aren't you getting closer to your Kiana anymore?"

"System, are you a paratrooper?"

"You're still yelling at me. Sigh, there's no love left. I've forgotten when you called me 'Sweetie' before you had any power."

"...I was wrong, please stop barking like a dog."

"Tch, fine, I'm too lazy to argue with a mere mortal like you. Forget about your crappy game, it's useless. Focus on developing Teyvat and getting the rewards."

"Do you think it would have an impact if I widely distribute cell phones? To Teyvat."

"It doesn't matter, but I don't understand the point of doing this. Like you just said about the game, it's a complete waste of time doing something meaningless."

"That's why I say you're not human."

"Are you going to curse me again?"

"You weren't one to begin with."

"..."

"I spread sweet, positive stories to make the people of Teyvat healthier, more cheerful, and more optimistic. How can that be meaningless? It's about comprehensively improving the average quality of the people of Teyvat, reducing the crime rate, and letting them know that they are fighting for a better world. How positive is that?"

“I don’t think it’s good, it’s not good. I don’t think it’s necessary, but it’s up to you. If you think you can do it, then do it.”

"Okay, I'll take a look at it when I have time."

While Jue Xi was thinking about making a 'Honkai' game in the future, she chatted with the system occasionally, and time passed quickly. Meanwhile, the travelers Zhong Li and his group were not idle either.

……

"That's the style that mature older women like to wear, right? Could it be... that 'Rock King Emperor' is actually an older woman?"

"Hahaha...maybe. There are countless incarnations of the 'Rock King,' perhaps such an image truly exists."

Just then, Kurumi and Kiana arrived and overheard Paimon and Zhongli's conversation. A strange thought popped into Kiana's mind.

"Zhong Li... Zhong Li... a female version of Siegfried!" How terrifying...

"Hey, it's Kiana, the Traveler."

"Yingmei, it's been a long time."

Kiana walked over to greet her and naturally took Yingmei's hand.

"What brings Miss Kiana here to see us?"

“Zhongli, come here, let me show you a treasure, ta-da (please add your own voiceover 1234).”

"This is……"

"Ah? I didn't expect that our knowledgeable Zhongli Keqing would have things he didn't know."

Hu Tao, meanwhile, was making sarcastic remarks from the side.

"Master is too kind. I am just an ordinary person among the masses."

"What is this, Kiana?"

Yingmei tugged at Qiyana and asked.

"This is called a cell phone. Here, Yingmei, this is yours."

Yingmei's phone has a light yellow casing and is decorated with a small white crown.

"What about mine? What about mine? What about mine?"

Paimon was excitedly rubbing his hands together (like a fly rubbing its hands?).

"Forehead……"

Paimon clearly noticed Kiana's embarrassment.

"What about me? What about me? Waaaaah, Kiana is unfair! You all get it, but I don't!"

"Oh, little Paimon, don't cry. This was prepared by the captain before he left. I'll ask him about it when he gets back, okay?"

"No need, Kiana and Paimon can share one of us. By the way, did Juexi leave?"

Yingmei said understandingly.

"Ah, he made some cell phones to give to his friends in Mondstadt, so he left first. I'll teach you how to use them."

……

Chapter 58 Where is Wendy?

"I never expected Mr. Juexi to have such a clever and ingenious mind. This thing is truly amazing."

After learning about it, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh. Although Kiana said that this thing was driven by elemental power, as the dignified "Rock King Emperor", he naturally knew that its operation had no elemental power reaction.

"Captain? He's clever and resourceful? Well... just a little bit clever, but thank you for such a high compliment, Mr. Zhongli. Hehe."

Although Kiana said that, she was actually very happy inside, after all, it was her own man who was being praised.

"Ugh... I'm so angry! Such a good thing, and Juexi didn't even prepare it for me."

"Hehe, don't be sad, little Paimon, we'll use one."

After saying that, the traveler handed his phone to Him.

"Humph."

"Alright, little Paimon, stop being so temperamental. You and Mr. Zhongli have important matters to attend to, don't you?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot the important thing. We've completed another preparatory task. What's next?"

"Now that the Hall Master and Miss Kiana have arrived, there's no reason for them to leave."

Kiana said, "I suddenly miss the captain so much. The captain once said that as long as I have no morals, I won't be morally blackmailed..." Although she thought this in her heart, she still said it out loud.

"What does Mr. Zhongli need us to do?"

Before Zhongli could speak, Hu Tao next to him couldn't hold back any longer.

"Oh my, you, Zhongli Guest Elder, actually dare to order me around. It's one thing to order you around normally, but you expect me and Sister Kiana to be ordered around when we come to deliver your phone? No way, Sister Kiana, let's ignore him. The things have been delivered, let's go."

After saying that, she grabbed Kiana's hand and tried to leave, but how could Kurumi possibly pull away a Herrscher if Kiana didn't want to? Kiana then feigned a conflicted expression and left with Kurumi...

"Very well, I hope you two can go and borrow the 'Dust-Cleansing Bell' for me..."

Meanwhile, Juexi finally returned to Mondstadt.

"Let's go to 'Angel's Gift' and see if Wendy is there."

……

"You mean that bard, right?"

Since Wendy wasn't in the pub, Juexi decided to ask the bartender, Charles.

"Yes, that's right. Do you know what time He usually comes?"

"Hiss... He usually spends almost every day here. Even if he's not here during the day, he'll definitely be here at night. But for some reason, he hasn't come here these past few days."

"what!"

Jue Xi was utterly shocked. Wendy didn't come for a drink?! Is this the end of the world?

Just then, a familiar voice came from upstairs.

“He said, ‘It’s over.’”

"Grandpa Lu..."

Juexi followed Diluc upstairs, gave him the cell phone she had prepared beforehand, and explained how to use it. Diluc expressed great interest.

"Can this be mass-produced?!"

Juexi felt an unprecedented excitement from Diluc.

"It's possible, but I don't have that idea right now. I only want to share it with my friends."

"That's right, I was impulsive. This thing called a cell phone, if it can be mass-produced, will definitely bring about a revolution in the entire Teyvat."

"This can't be that bad, it's just that communication has become more convenient..." He had barely finished speaking when he realized something was amiss. Currently, communication in Teyvat relies on letters. If mobile phones became widespread, this would be a technological explosion... If it were actually implemented, the market demand would be enormous. No wonder Diluc was so surprised; who would complain about having too much money?

"Let's talk about this later, Grandpa Lu. If I really have such plans in the future, I'll come back to you."

“Okay. About Wendy… I don’t know what happened to him recently. He entered the ‘Wind Dragon Ruins’ two days ago and hasn’t come out since. I…”

"Ah, I understand. You're worried about something happening to the wind god of your country, and since I'm here, you wanted to ask me to go check on him. No problem, buddy."

“I didn’t care; I just saw someone else care and provided the information.”
