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

"Fine, forget I asked."

Jue Xi was speechless for a moment, while Amber chuckled.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. My eyes are like a ruler; I'm a scout knight. I can tell who's a good guy and who's a bad guy at a glance. You look like a really good guy. Besides, I'm very capable."

Jue Xi was speechless for a moment, and was inexplicably given the "friend zone" card.

"System, when are you going to give me some perks? I'm too weak."

"Don't rush, good things come to those who wait. Host, you've only just started playing Amber. The more you play, the faster I'll recover, and naturally I'll be able to give you a reward."

"Hey, you sound like a villain. It's like I'm working for you, and you're going to possess me once you're fully recovered?"

"You really don't appreciate the system's good intentions. Can't you wait if I don't give you such a good reward of energy now? I won't let you down. The greater your influence in Teyvat, the more power I will have. In the end, it's not impossible for me to be your wife."

"Tsk."

"Hey! What do you mean you're looking down on me? You're not going to do something this good?"

"No, I didn't. How could I dislike you? Okay, you should focus on recovering. I'll just stay put for now."

"You just clicked your tongue!"

Jue Xi completely ignored the system; this damn system couldn't give her anything. Jue Xi had no idea where the plot was going. Had Paimon been lured ashore by the Traveler? Had Dvalin attacked Mondstadt? Jue Xi asked the second-ranked fire archer of Teyvat beside her.

"Amber, is Falgar the current Grand Master of the Knights?"

"Oh? Of course, I didn't expect you to know our Knights' Grand Master. It's just that the Grand Master took most of the Knights on an expedition a while ago, and now Jean is the acting Grand Master."

"I've only heard about it; I wouldn't say I know anyone there."

After saying this, Juexi pondered to herself, "So Falgar just left not long ago. Then Dvalin hasn't been corrupted by the Abyss yet, right? Should I remind Venti? I felt the wind before I fainted; maybe He was helping me. I'll treat Him to a drink when I have the money."

"arrive!"

Amber pointed to Mondstadt in the distance as she spoke.

Jue Xi just realized that she and Amber had unknowingly arrived at the bridge in Mondstadt, and couldn't help but sigh.

This is truly spectacular! It's even more breathtaking than in the game—it's so huge! I knew it! If the bridge were really that narrow, how could Timmy just release pigeons like that? It would cause so much traffic congestion.

"Thank you, Amber."

Amber felt a little happy as she looked at Juexi, who was thanking her.

"You're welcome. I, Amber, a scout knight of the Knights of Favonius, formally welcome you to Mondstadt, traveler."

Jue Xi scratched his head.

"I feel embarrassed by this, hehe. From now on, Amber, you can call me Juexi. Calling me Traveler seems too formal. After all, I'll call you Amber too."

“Alright, Juexi, I’ll take you inside to have a look.”

Amber led Juexi to wander around Mondstadt for a long time. Juexi, experiencing the free city-state of Mondstadt, realized that being transported to another world wasn't so bad, except that her current strength was too low and she wasn't very safe. She needed to become stronger quickly. Despite Amber leading Juexi on a long journey, she still didn't know where the Angel's Gift was. This was different from the game. There wasn't a tavern near the Deer Hunter's Restaurant.

"Amber, do you know where the gifts of angels are?"

Amber looked at him strangely, not realizing that this guy cared so much about the tavern.

"Huh? Didn't you run out of money? You're still thinking about the tavern?"

"No, no, taverns are places with lots of information. I have a friend who often drinks there, and I'm still very curious about Mondstadt's famous apple wine."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there."

……

Juexi stayed in the tavern for a while, but he didn't find Wendy. Amber also left first because of her mission, and before leaving, she thoughtfully "lent" Juexi some Mora.

Amber is so great, she truly is a friend to beginners. Jue Xi thought that if she could go back, she would definitely help Amber reach level 80.

Hey buddy, is the seat next to me taken?

Juexi heard a familiar voice beside her and turned around to find a bard dressed in bright green clothes.

"Of course there's no one here."

Juexi smiled and said, thinking to herself, "Wendy, you've finally arrived."

hehe~

The bard sat down next to Juexi with a bottle of wine in his hand.

"You seem to be waiting for a friend."

"Yes, I'm waiting for Barbatos."

Chapter 4 Herrscher Powers

Upon hearing this, Wendy paused briefly before reacting with a smile.

"You're joking, aren't Barbatos the god of wind? What's he doing here? You're really joking, buddy."

Jue Xi naturally knew that Wendy was pretending to be confused when she knew the truth, and she smiled wickedly.

"That's hard to say. I think Lord Barbatos is the kind of person who likes apple wine... no, God~"

Wendy didn't speak, but Juexi said to the bartender

"Give me ten cups of dandelion wine."

Wendy asked a question.

"Didn't you say that Lord Barbatos loves apple wine?"

"I'm afraid Lord Barbatos won't be able to come. I think you would prefer to drink dandelion wine. This is for you."

Wendy said with a smile.

"Hey bro, you're such a nice guy! Hehe, from today onwards we're friends!"

Jue Xi put her arm around Wendy's shoulder, and Wendy didn't resist. Then Jue Xi continued talking to herself.

"Let me tell you, this morning, I encountered some setbacks on my way to Mondstadt. Then I suddenly received help from a stranger. In my hometown, there's a saying that emphasizes helping all living beings, which roughly means that doing good deeds will bring good results. I received kindness from someone on my way here, so I naturally wanted to repay it. That's why I decided to treat you to a drink."

Wendy found what the man said interesting, and instead of immediately drinking, she asked him a question.

"But I wasn't the one who saved you, so why did you ask me?"

"For example, someone throws a bottle on Mondstadt. Naturally, someone will pick it up and sell it for money. This person may have no connection with the person who threw the bottle, but the bottle will definitely be picked up. Just like how I was helped by a stranger on my way here, which led me to decide to help you in the tavern. You and that stranger may have no connection or you may have a connection. The point is that I want to pass on this good deed, and I just happened to meet you."

Wendy thought to herself, "This kid must know something. He's got some skills. He even knows that I helped him." But on the surface, she just smiled and said...

"That's so profound, I don't understand, but thank you for the wine."

After saying that, Wendy took the wine and started drinking. Seeing this, Juexi felt that she had repaid the favor and decided to leave.

"Alright, you drink first, my friend. I'm leaving now. It's my first time in Mondstadt, so I want to explore it properly."

Wendy suddenly grabbed Juexi and said with a smile.

"Wait, let's drink together. You're such a kind person to invite bards to drink, I'm going to write you into my best poems~ So, can you tell me your name?"

Jue Xi, who had been given the "friend zone" card again, then spoke up.

"My name is Mu Juexi, what's yours?"

"Me? You know me, my name is Wendy, hehe."

After saying that, he finished another glass of dandelion wine.

"Haha, I didn't know you before, but I do now. By the way, Wendy, have you ever heard the story of Stormterror?"

"Of course, you're actually curious about this kind of legend? I thought people in Mondstadt didn't like hearing these kinds of stories these days."

"First of all, you can think of me as someone from Liyue, and also as someone who loves listening to stories."

Wendy smiled.

"Really? Then I'll have to tell you all about it, but..."

He looked at the dandelion wine on the table.

Jue Xi stared speechlessly at the empty wine bottle on the table… Good heavens, I exclaimed, so fast! It's almost gone in the middle of chatting and laughing. Poor Amber's borrowed Mora, it was supposed to last her a while. Oh well. This is a chance to get closer to the Wind God, bottoms up.

Jue Xi waved his hand dismissively.

"These are minor matters. I'll give you plenty today."

Wendy said happily.

"I knew I wasn't wrong, you really are a good person, Jue Xi."

Jue Xi appeared magnanimous on the surface, but inwardly she was weeping.

"Waaaaah... Barbatos, get on with your work..."

……

After a few rounds of drinks...

"Hiccup~ Wendy... there's something I've been curious about for a long time."

"W-what is it?"

"Are you a man or a woman?"

Wendy blushed inexplicably; why would anyone ask such a thing?

"I, of course I'm male!"

Juexi had drunk a bit too much, her mind was hazy, and she became bolder. Seeing Wendy's expression, Juexi decided to tease her.

"Oh my, you're blushing. You look very pretty. Let me see."

"Oh dear, absolutely not."

Wendy didn't resist and let Juexi touch her thigh twice, but nothing more happened.

"Despair? Despair?"

Seeing that Juexi was asleep, Wendy's eyes immediately regained their clarity, showing no signs of drunkenness. Looking at Juexi, Wendy thought to herself, "This is truly a strange person; I can't see through her at all."

After the probing at the dinner table, Wendy came to a conclusion. So he's not from this world? Hopefully, you'll have a good influence on Mondstadt. I had no strength this morning, but now there's a strange energy in my body... oh well, never mind. You'll definitely be a great person, hehe.

With that thought in mind, Wendy picked up the last glass of dandelion wine on the table.

"Although dandelion wine is delicious, I still prefer apple wine a bit more~"
