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

"Wait, Dr. Su. You can't go there. Because of the spread of Honkai, we, the Fire Moths, have sealed off this hospital, and the patients have all been transferred to our headquarters."

Su thought of his teacher and dialed his number, but couldn't get through. Su asked with concern.

"So, Professor Farin..."

Spassy walked up from behind Sue.

"Hello, my name is Spacy, and I currently work for Firemoth. Your mentor is an old friend of mine, and he asked me to take you to him."

Su was a little confused.

"The teacher is actually friends with the people who chase the fire moths."

"Didn't he ever tell you? Come in, he's waiting for you inside."

After Su walked in, he spoke slowly.

"Dr. Su, I know you've been researching Honkai disease on your own. I heard that the treatment you proposed effectively controlled the progression of a little girl's illness. That's truly a remarkable achievement."

Su was a little sad.

"It's nothing special. The little girl wasn't cured; the onset of the disease was only delayed."

"Haha, Dr. Su. That's already quite remarkable. Just like our Fire Moth team, we haven't found a cure in the past five years. All we can do right now is to find out the main cause of the infection. Generally speaking, the cause of infectious diseases is nothing more than a virus or bacteria. In order to avoid infection, we wear gloves and masks, and even wear several layers of protective clothing. Humans are still powerless children in the face of disease."

Su looked at her teacher lying on the hospital bed with an incredulous expression.

"how so……"

"The cause of death was infection with 'Honkai Disease,' and the time of death was 4 a.m. Although he took great care in taking precautions, our recent research has found that the transmission route of Honkai Disease is neither bacteria nor viruses. It is a kind of energy radiation, which we call Honkai Energy. Prolonged exposure to this energy will lead to Honkai Disease infection. Currently, even the most advanced protective suits cannot block this Honkai Energy. However, Dr. Su, I have good news for you."

"Starting today, except for the Fire Moth, no other hospitals are allowed to admit patients with Honkai disease. You will no longer need to have contact with them."

Sue said seriously to Spassy.

"Please let me join the Fire Moths, I must defeat the Honkai disease."

……

As a result, Su was rejected once again.

Two months after the teacher's death, the hospital discontinued its Honkai disease ward. The Fire Moths would immediately admit any Honkai disease patients they discovered. But Su continued to produce potions.

"Doctor, it's been a long time. Please take a look at this sample. I improved the formula after seeing your comments last time."

Dr. Spassey glanced at the formula, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away.

"It's a waste of time. I'm tired of saying anything to you because you always give such small doses. Just give up now."

After another heart-to-heart talk with Sue, Spassy said to his men.

"Has the number of patients with the city's collapse disease increased too quickly lately? Tell the security forces to get ready quickly."

During a evacuation drill, a Honkai Beast actually appeared. Su saw an injured girl with purple markings on her body.

"Honkai disease..."

Su took out the potion he had prepared, but as expected, it had no effect. Remembering what the doctor had said before, he simply injected most of the undiluted potion into the girl's body, which effectively suppressed the spread of the purple markings.

Just as Su was feeling relieved that he had succeeded, the Honkai Beast and the Doctor found him.

"Well done, Sue. Did you make that girl? I really have to give you a passing grade this time."

Su, who had just been attacked by a Honkai Beast, was already somewhat disoriented.

"Watch out... Doctor..."

"Kevin, it's your turn."

Kevin, wielding a greatsword engulfed in flames, cleaved the Honkai Beast in two with a single strike. This was the last thing Su saw before her consciousness faded...

Chapter 150 'Medicine'

Su didn't know where he was; he only knew that he had lost consciousness while saving the little girl. He looked down at his hands, where purple lines were spreading... He could only watch as the purple lines gradually spread throughout his body.

"Phew...right, I encountered a real Honkai Beast during the exercise just now, and both the girl and I were infected with Honkai disease."

Am I going to die? Is this what it feels like for a Honkai disease patient to die? Su couldn't help but wonder, but just then he seemed to hear a familiar voice.

"Relax, Su..."

Following the sound, Su looked up at the blurry face.

"Teacher Farin..."

As Su saw him clearly, his consciousness blurred again, and the figure grew farther and farther away until it disappeared. Su reached out his hand toward Farin.

......

Su suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

Without a trace of purple markings, his Honkai disease was cured. At that moment, the Moth of Fire beside him said...

"You're awake, Dr. Sue. Dr. Spacy is waiting for you outside. He told you to come see him after you wake up."

Sue got up and left the room. He went to the operating room and saw Dr. Spacy holding a wine jug. Spacy smiled at Sue and said...

"Dr. Su, it seems you're recovering well, but she wasn't so lucky. Although your medication worked, it only slightly delayed the onset of her illness. I tried to remove the affected area, but unfortunately, her constitution wasn't strong enough, and she couldn't hold on until the surgery was completed. But you don't need to blame yourself too much; you've already done a great job."

Sue stood there quietly, watching Dr. Spacy holding the flask and the girl who would never wake up. He felt something was amiss. After the doctor finished speaking, Sue was silent for a moment before asking a question.

"Doctor, I have a question. Before I lost consciousness, I remember being infected with Honkai. But now I don't have any purple stripes or defects on my body. So, I recovered without any surgery, right? It's because you healed me, Doctor, right?"

Spassy nodded.

"Yes."

Su heard the answer he expected, but he couldn't accept it. It was clearly a treatable disease, yet it was claimed to have a 100% mortality rate. Why not save someone if they could? He asked with a questioning tone.

"But Doctor, you said that there is currently no way to cure Honkai disease."

Spassy wasn't angry at Sue's questioning tone. He took a sip of his drink and smiled as he spoke.

"Su. You guessed right, I did lie to you. I already developed the drug to treat Honkai disease a long time ago."

Su was a little angry.

"If there is a cure, then why perform the excision surgery on her?"

Spassy seemed lost in thought. He took another sip of his drink and then spoke calmly.

“I didn’t give that little girl any medication. If I had to say something… it would be that the drug was too expensive.”

Su was utterly bewildered. How could a doctor act like this? His tone of voice was unusually angry.

"Expensive?! How can life be measured in money?"

Dr. Spassy smiled dismissively.

"That child's life? You want to know how expensive the medicine is? You want to know whether her life or the medicine is more important? Then let me tell you how the medicine is made. For the past few years, the Fire Moth has been researching Honkai, but they haven't been able to decipher its mechanism. A very small percentage of people have an incubation period after contracting Honkai. Because of this incubation period, their bodies produce some antibodies, but these antibodies are useless, and they will eventually die. However, after these people die, very few antibodies remain in their bodies. Statistically speaking, to extract serum that can save one person, it would take a thousand corpses of Honkai patients. And that's only for those corpses with antibodies. If it's for those corpses without antibodies, it would take even more to extract this serum. Now, Su, I ask you, isn't this medicine priceless? Is it expensive?"

Su was silent for a while.

"I...if I could, I would..."

Spassy frowned slightly and immediately interrupted Sue.

"Dr. Su, please don't question my choice. You are a crucial talent in the fight against Honkai, and I believe you will save even more people in the future. Moreover, among the donors of the serum that saved you, there is someone very important to you. That is your teacher, Falein. After his death, he donated his body to the Firemoth. It was thanks to the antibodies in his body that we were able to complete this vial of serum."

Spassy put the lid on the flask he was holding and placed it on the ground.

"In this world, there are no miracles or magic. There are only countless people whose lives have been taken by the Honkai, and doctors who continue to work on their corpses. This little girl's body will also be used to extract serum. The serum extracted from her body will still be used to save other more important people. I think she will surely bless you in the afterlife."

Spassey paused for a moment before continuing.

"Dr. Su, you have precious antibodies in your body. The thousand patients who died, and your teacher's tragic wish, will now be on your shoulders. What you should do now is fight against the Honkai disease and save thousands of people. Some people may think that what I am doing is not humane. But, in my opinion, no matter what sacrifices are made, only by completely eradicating the Honkai disease and saving humanity can we achieve true justice."

Spassy extended his hand to Sue.

"Dr. Su, your application has been approved. Welcome to 'Moth Chasing the Flame'..."

Sue grasped Spassy's hand.

"Doctor, we will definitely defeat the Honkai disease."

Su asked after leaving the operating room.

"Doctor, I have another question. Who is that warrior wielding the greatsword?"

Spassy didn't turn around and continued talking as he walked ahead.

"Him? You mean Kevin? He's the most outstanding warrior of the Firemoth. I've investigated your relationship with him; you two were good friends, weren't you? I knew you'd ask about him, so I've compiled his information from the last few years. I'll send it to you now as a welcome gift."

Su glanced at her ringing phone and received the file.

Dr. Spassy suddenly turned around.

"Oh right, I suddenly remembered that you don't seem to know what a 'Herrscher' is, right? I think I need to explain it to you."

......

"Hey, Captain, wake up, it's time to get up."

Juexi felt as if her head was pressed against a soft steamed bun, and she opened her eyes.

"Huh? Huh? What's wrong?"

Jue Xi opened her eyes and looked at Kiana in front of her, somewhat bewildered.

"Hey, Captain. Wake up! What time is it? Hua, Carol, and I haven't eaten yet."

Jue Xi immediately sat up straight on the bed and then rubbed her eyes.

"Qibao?"

Kiana didn't speak, but she placed her hand on Juexi's head with a worried expression.

"What's wrong, Captain? Are you feeling unwell today? If you're not feeling well, I can cook for you."

Juexi suddenly hugged Kiana.

"Just like that, let me hold you for a little while, just a little while, Qibao."
