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

Just as Alicia finished eating, Kevin arrived, and Alicia immediately went to greet him.

"Kevin, you're finally here, otherwise I would have eaten too much again."

When Juexi saw Kevin arrive, she grabbed both of them, one in each hand. Kevin on her left, Ellie on her right. The three of them immediately headed towards the Far East.

Juexi thought to herself on her way there.

The Herrscher of Wind probably hasn't been born yet, so please don't let me catch you. If I do, you'll be in deep trouble. Hide well and wait until I finish investigating the Honkai disease and go back before you show yourself. That way, you can live a little longer.

Chapter 137 The Herrscher of Wind

Juexi only realized today why Alicia dared to flirt with her so much during their spaceship ride last time...

Jue Xi slammed the playing cards in her hand onto the table.

"So this spaceship can navigate automatically!"

Alicia replied with a grin.

"Of course, to be honest, the last time I rode a spaceship with you was the first time I ever piloted one."

Jue Xi silently rubbed her forehead.

"If something happens to this, if I were an ordinary person, I would have nowhere to cry."

Alicia took the playing cards that Juexi had just slammed on the table and handed them back to Juexi.

"Alright, Juexi, nothing happened, hehe. And even if something did happen, I believe you could protect everyone. Come on, let's keep playing."

A few days ago, Juexi, having nothing better to do, inquired about any forms of entertainment among the "Fire-Chasing Moths," only to discover that the previous civilization didn't even have playing cards!

So, in the past, when poker and Dou Dizhu were invented, let's turn back time to the present...

Alicia asked curiously.

"By the way, Juexi, why is this game called 'Fight the Landlord'?"

"Uh. I don't know either. It's a kind of entertainment in my hometown."

Alicia said with a grin.

"That's right, now Juexi has another title besides 'time traveler': 'alien'. Hahahaha."

Jue Xi, his face darkening, smacked Alicia on the head. Even though he'd never beaten Kiana, he figured hitting Alicia a little shouldn't be a problem, right?

Ellie pretended to be angry.

"Juexi, you actually hit a cute girl on the head! What if you make me stupid?! Humph~"

"You weren't exactly smart to begin with..."

Kevin watched the two playfully bickering, a touch of envy in his eyes. Since meeting Mei at the "Firemoth" banquet, he'd rarely seen her. They worked at the same company, yet they'd somehow developed an online romance... Well, they were both busy; she was doing research, and he was on the front lines, striving to become stronger. Looking at Juexi and Alicia, Kevin thought to himself that he had to become stronger to protect Mei, and protect... Su. When he first joined "Firemoth," he'd boasted on his phone about joining a mysterious organization fighting against "Honkai," wanting Su to join him and fight alongside him. But after a few missions, he'd abandoned the idea of ​​having Su come... Although he hadn't yet fought a real "Herrscher," he'd participated in the extermination of pseudo-Herrschers under Captain Hen's leadership, witnessing former comrades-in-arms die beside him. From then on, he never mentioned having Su join "Firemoth" again in conversations.

While Kevin was thinking, Juexi tapped on the table.

"Hey Kevin, what are you thinking about? It's your turn to play."

Juexi picked up the playing cards she had just slammed on the table, still muttering complaints...

"This hand is really bad."

"I think you've used up your good luck elsewhere, Juexi?"

"But it can't be this bad every single game, can it? We've always been the peasants, and Kevin has always been the landlord, and we've never won!"

Alicia was also somewhat speechless. She had indeed been luckier when playing before than today, but when she played with Kevin Juexi today, she never won whenever Juexi was her teammate. To be precise, Kevin never lost, which was very strange.

Kevin also realized what was happening and looked at the cards in his hand.

"Uh, a royal flush."

?

"Wait, Kevin, do you even know how to play cards? I played two sevens and a pair of sevens, and you played two kings??"

"I only have this one right."

......

After Kevin unleashed a barrage of bombs, the game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) undoubtedly ended in Kevin's victory.

"I'm not playing anymore, I can't take it anymore."

Ai Li gave Jue Xi an awkward smile, after all, she had lost without playing a single card. Ai Li then made an excuse to leave.

"We should be almost at the Far East. I'll go take a look."

"I'll go figure out how to make something to eat. Oh, and Kevin, go find Ellie, but whatever you do, don't come to the kitchen."

"Uh, okay."

When Juexi mentioned this, Kevin was also speechless. He didn't know why, but ever since joining the Fire Chaser, he seemed to have awakened some strange constitution; strange things would happen whenever he entered the kitchen. A few days ago, at a dinner party, Hen asked him to go to the kitchen to check on the food and see how long it would take. As soon as he entered, the Fire Chaser's power went out—it was ridiculous! Although he didn't believe the absurd explanation of him entering the kitchen caused the power outage, Juexi put up a sign in the kitchen afterward: "Kitchen Forbidden Zone, Kevin Stays Away..."

Kiana watched the live stream and complained.

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~ Captain used to only cook for me! Now how come Captain has become the shared cook for all of us Firemoth?"

The system did not understand.

"Kiana, if the host really saves the previous civilization as you wish, you will disappear. In that case, why would you care about something as trivial as cooking?"

Kiana paused for a moment, then stubbornly insisted.

"But it hasn't happened yet, has it? Besides, as long as I'm alive, the captain has to cook for me every day, hmph. He promised me he'd cook for me every day."

The system conjured up a bucket of popcorn.

"So, would you like some? The hosts are about to land."

"No."

Kiana waved her hand in refusal, saying she really didn't understand why Usagi would eat something that had absolutely no taste. Then, remembering the AI ​​Ai-chan on the Hyperion, she asked...

"Little Rabbit, you're a system, right? Why do systems need to eat?"

"What? Are you discriminating against the system? Why can't the system eat?"

"No, no, how could I discriminate against you?"

The system thought about it.

"In your human terms, it's just a way to pass the time. When the host is outside, I also watch people eat popcorn like this."

Kiana looked at the little rabbit and felt sorry for her, and was about to say something to comfort her.

"By the way, when you and the host do that kind of thing at night, I watch like this too. It's quite exciting."

Kiana was feeling sorry for the system one second, and the next second she was thinking to herself, "You perverted system, why aren't you dead yet?"

"Hey! You didn't need to tell me this kind of thing!"

The system was silent for a moment, as if searching for something in her dictionary, and then...

"Hey~"

Kiana, seeing that smug expression, grabbed a pillow from the bedside and threw it at him.

"Hey, what are you hesitating about! Hey, what are you hesitating about!"

As soon as Juexi stepped off the spaceship, she sensed that the concentration of Honkai energy in the wind was abnormal. She shook her head, realizing that her journey was not going to be easy and that more people were going to die.

Alicia and Kevin need to go to the Firemoth branch in the Far East to report on the situation. She tells Juexi not to wander around and to wait until the two of them come out before investigating the Honkai disease together.

Jue Xi naturally wouldn't wander around; she herself couldn't be slacking off and not doing any work.

As Jue Xi wandered around aimlessly, he noticed how many guards were stationed in the Far East. It seemed that Mebius had arranged this in advance because he had revealed that the next Herrscher was the Herrscher of Wind. Jue Xi pondered the later plot. Had he missed it when he played the game? Or what was going on? Why did his memory of this part seem so vague? There didn't seem to be any records of the Herrscher of Wind from the previous civilization. Oh well, Wendy's combat power was undeniable; the Herrscher of Wind from the previous civilization probably couldn't be much stronger.

I've learned quite a bit during this time. I'll put the wind law into practice when it comes out. Just imagining making a black hole by hand sounds so cool.

Just as Jue Xi was fantasizing about showing off his power of reason, his phone rang.

"Hello, Dr. Möbius, is there something you need?"

"Why would I call you if there's nothing wrong? Just to chat? You should be in the Far East by now. The Honkai disease is really bad there lately, and there's a high chance that a Herrscher of Wind will be born. Don't underestimate them."

"Oh? Dr. Mebius actually cares about people?"

"Are you worried about me? I'm afraid your underestimation of the enemy will cause unnecessary damage to the Fire-Chasing Moth."

"Alright, don't worry, nothing will happen with me here. That's all for now, Alicia and Kevin should be out soon. We need to go investigate the Honkai disease, bye."

Without waiting for Mebius to say anything more, Juexi hung up the phone.

Jue Xi muttered to himself, "The wind, the law of nature, is no match for me."

Soon, Jue Xi reunited with Alicia and Kevin to begin their investigation into the Honkai disease...

A week passed, and aside from visiting various villages and towns around the Far East to help villagers fight Honkai Beasts, the group received no valuable information about the Honkai disease.

Jue Xi, feeling somewhat bored on the spaceship, started talking about the Honkai disease.

"This thing must be a manifestation of a person being infected by Honkai, causing their body to 'become a zombie,' right?"

Alicia corrected her.

"No, Juexi. Some people infected with Honkai will become 'zombies' and after a period of time, they will become either zombies or Honkai beasts. Others infected with Honkai disease will suffer from Honkai torment every day, and eventually..."

Alicia didn't say what happened next, after all, many of her comrades were suffering from Honkai disease. Currently, Honkai disease is rampant in the Far East, and the cause of the disease is unknown. If this continues, even if no Herrscher is born in the Far East, Honkai disease alone will kill everyone here within three years.

Kevin didn't say anything, just sat down beside the two. Jue Xi also realized that this issue was a bit heavy. Although Ai Li and the others wouldn't die, her comrades would die one after another on the road to fighting the Honkai. It was too heavy. Especially Kevin. The Ancestor was now a high school student. Maybe she should tease him a bit. She remembered that Ancestor Kevin liked corny jokes? Jue Xi thought for a moment.

"Ahem, let's not talk about such heavy topics. Let me tell you a joke to cheer you up. Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who caught a squid. The squid pleaded, 'Please, let me go.' But the fisherman wasn't about to let it go for nothing, so he said, 'Let me ask you a few questions,' the squid said. 'A test?' the fisherman said impatiently. 'Stop talking nonsense, do you want to live?' The squid had no choice but to say, 'Then test me.' So the fisherman grilled the squid."

Alicia was speechless; what a terrible joke! Kevin, on the other hand, was amused.

Alicia smiled awkwardly when she saw Kevin smile, and then...

On the spaceship heading to the next village to investigate the Honkai disease, Alicia was subjected to a barrage of lame jokes from the two... Kevin, however, was overjoyed, because Su had always said the same lame jokes to him when he told Su the same thing.

"Kevin, that was good, very funny. Don't say that again next time."

Ultimately, Alicia, unable to bear the humiliation, changed the subject.

"By the way, Kevin, have you noticed that there have been more and more stormy weather lately?"
