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

Why go to a photo studio?

During her time with the Fire-Chasing Moth, Jue Xi learned a lot and immediately used the power of the Law of Reason to construct a camera.

"Look carefully..."

The "click" startled Pato.

Juexi handed a photo to Pado.

"It's good, but the downside is that it looks like an ID photo, too serious."

Pado stared wide-eyed at her reflection in the photo.

"It's colorful!"

After looking at it for a while, Pado replied politely.

"thank you boss!"

Juexi took out a heavy bag of Mora and threw it over.

"Find a way to spend it. I believe you can do it and improve your life."

Paddo opened the pocket and glanced inside.

Thinking to herself, "So bright, so much gold..." Pado shook her head.

"No, no, boss, that's too much. We could never pay it back in our lifetime. Although you're a good person, boss, we sell our art, not our bodies."

Juexi gently patted Pado's head.

"I'm not a good person, you know. Why are you running away from a good person? I'm a big bad guy, a psychopathic killer, the kind who kills without blinking an eye. Here, take it. If you don't, you're disrespecting me, and if you don't respect me, I'll..."

Jue Xi crushed the camera she had just created. This sudden move startled Pado.

"Okay, okay, I want it, I want it."

Jue Xi smiled with satisfaction and then patted Pa Duo's little head.

"That's more like it. And also, Pado, why are you so afraid of me?"

"Well... my gut feeling tells me to stay away from you, boss. I'm usually pretty lucky; I always manage to escape danger no matter what it is. So..."

"Alright. I'm leaving now. Be careful not to get caught by others."

After saying that, Jue Xi turned and walked away without looking back, returning to her inn. Pa Duo looked left and right, then picked up the camera that had been crushed on the ground.

"Waaah, what a pity. If I had taken him back, I could have taken some pictures of Master and the others. Oh well, it's good enough that he survived. But that person didn't seem that bad. He just didn't look scary. That's strange."

Pado shook her head and stopped thinking about it, disappearing into the night in a few steps.

……

After a while, she returned to her little home, which was full of stray cats.

Pado picked up an old black cat and rubbed it, then took out several cans of fish, opened them, and placed them on the ground.

The cats around had also started their dinner, and Pado squatted on the ground, watching the stray cats and smiling happily. Although this place was dilapidated and small, this was home. Pado looked at the black cat and murmured to herself.

"Master, I ran into that scary man again today. But even though he was scary, he didn't seem to mean me any harm. He was also kind of handsome, but most importantly, he was so rich, hehe. He sold all that gold for a lot of money. Now we're rich! We'll buy you canned fish every day from now on."

"Meow~"

The black cat responded lazily, then pushed the can of food in front of it and curled up into a ball.

"What's wrong, Master? Why are you eating less and less every day? Are you going to die? Hehe."

The black cat looked up at her with a disgruntled expression, then wagged its tail, indicating that it wasn't about to die.

Pado picked up the leftover canned fish that the black cat had just eaten and started eating it, talking as she ate.

"Master, really. You still have so much left. I told you we're rich now."

The black cat meowed impatiently twice, probably meaning "yes, yes, yes," then turned its head away, ignoring Pado and intending to go to sleep.

Days passed by like this, and one day Pado suddenly approached Juexi.

It was the same familiar alley, and this time Juexi heard a familiar voice.

"boss!"

"Huh? What's wrong? Paddo, aren't you afraid of me?"

Although Pado was scared, she still spoke cautiously.

"Well, boss, my master is sick, it seems. Can you find someone to take a look at him? I'm too scared, I'm wanted by the police. If you help me, I'll do anything for you. Anyway, I've already taken your money."

"Oh? Pado, you have a master?"

"Of course."

"Anything is okay?"

Pado was a little scared. Having spent so much time in Twilight Street, she naturally knew that the only thing she could use to win Juexi's heart was probably her body. Although she was terrified, she had no choice. Her master had been with her for so long, and Juexi seemed quite wealthy; it wasn't a bad deal, was it...?

"Everything is fine."

Jue Xi also said with a smile.

"Pado, aren't we supposed to be performing, not selling our bodies?"

Pado was also a little embarrassed and angry.

"I'll sell it to you then, so don't bother with the trouble!"

After Pado finished speaking, she was about to leave when she bumped into Juexi.

Pado was filled with regret. Who was Juexi? He was doing so well in that sanatorium; he was definitely not an ordinary person. How could she have dared to speak to him like that? Oh no, it seems she can't escape now.

Jue Xi sighed.

"I'm just kidding. I don't want your body. Take me with you, I have a girlfriend."

Pado was overjoyed.

"Really?"

"real."

So Pado led Juexi to her little nest.

There were only a few stray cats in the small house, one of which, an old black cat, was clearly listless.

Juexi asked in confusion.

"Where is your master?"

"That black cat."

After finishing her sentence, Pado ran to the old black cat and stroked its fur as she spoke.

“Master, I’ve asked a friend to come and save you. He’s very rich and he’ll definitely find someone to cure you.”

Jue Xi was speechless for a moment. A real cat, this is not good.

Jue Xi walked over and took the cat from Pa Duo's arms. She held the cat with one arm and placed the other hand on the black cat's head, where a flash of white light appeared.

Pado looked completely bewildered.

……

After a while, the black cat was eating canned fish, while Juexi and Pado were chatting outside.

"I never expected that your master, Pado, would be a black cat."

"Well, I've never known who my parents were since I can remember. I grew up with a kind homeless man, but he died, and I ended up hanging out with a bunch of stray cats. Hehe, I'm incredibly lucky to have survived. Later, when I was a little older, I met that black cat. One night, I chased it, and it climbed over the wall. I tried to imitate it, and as I chased it, it suddenly climbed into a tall window. I was so angry and resentful, I accused it of being a cheat. I almost cried, hehe. But actually, it didn't run away; it even pushed some cans of food down from the window crack and ate with me. In the end, I treated it like a teacher and learned from it for a while, and that's how it is."

Jue Xi nodded repeatedly as she listened to Pa Duo's story.

"No wonder, Pado, you're so good at stealing."

"That sounds awful, boss. Ours is called robbing the rich to help the poor!"

"Then why didn't you rob me?"

"Uh, I wouldn't dare..."

"Meow~"

Her master must have finished eating, because he called out, and Pado returned to the black cat's side.

"Oh dear, Master. Why are you leaving so much food? I've already eaten."

Jue Xi then created another camera, took pictures of Pado and several cats, and then quietly left after placing the photos and camera on a chair.

Chapter 146 Flames...Sinking...

Meanwhile, Eden was holding concerts all over Australia, while Himiko led her team to deal with Honkai Beasts around Australia.

Ever since her last conversation with Juexi, Hua has felt a sense of dread every time she goes on a mission with the captain. Ultimately, the worst-case scenario she can imagine is…

Captain, could he suddenly become indiscriminate in his dealings with enemies? Or... become a Herrscher? After all, Juexi seems to have some kind of 'prophecy,' he always seems to know what will happen next, he wouldn't say such a thing for no reason.

Hua was almost attacked because she was distracted, but Himiko noticed in time and immediately killed the assassin who tried to attack her, thus preventing Hua from being injured.

Himiko wasn't angry. She simply put her hand on Hua's shoulder and smiled gently.

"What's wrong, Hua? You're not usually like this. Lately, I feel like you're always distracted when you're with me."

Hua turned her head away, for some reason she didn't dare to look Himiko in the eyes.

"Captain, I... am not feeling well."

"Then I'll take you back to rest first. Your health is the most important thing."

Himiko then gave instructions to her teammates before leading Hua back to the temporary base.

Hua said with a worried expression.

"team leader."

Himiko asked in doubt.

"What's wrong, Hua? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No!"

Himihu smiled.
