The original price of Scathach's spearmanship was 50,000 points, and the godhood was also 50,000 points. If it were the original price, Smith wouldn't have bought it. After all, Morax's martial arts were still very good. However, since it was a special price, Smith decided to make the purchase.
The two items cost Smith 10,500 points, and now his points were down to just 16,000. He wasn't sure when the next mission would come, and his points were running low.
Keqing spoke up. "By the way, what is this Miss Qiu, with strong pollution? Is it similar to the power of the abyss or the resentment of the demon?"
Smith explained, "It's nuclear radiation, and if you really count it, it's somewhat similar. Miss Qiu is the code name for a mushroom bomb. If it were to explode, it would probably rival the power of the gods. However, the gods should have ways to handle Miss Qiu."
This wasn't Smith bragging about the power of the gods, but rather acknowledging that the power of the gods was indeed extraordinary. For gods like Morax, if they faced nuclear bombs, there were many solutions. Smith even suspected that if Paimon met Miss Qiu, she could simply teleport her away.
As for how much damage Miss Qiu would cause if it exploded, Smith wasn't sure. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough points. Otherwise, he would have bought one and sent it to Winter Country in the future, or perhaps to an Abyss Cult faction.
Keqing, still curious, asked, "Is this the technological achievement of mankind?"
Smith responded, "Don't underestimate the abilities of mankind. The upper limit of human potential is very high, but humans are also the most dangerous race. Just look at Kanreya 500 years ago. Their pursuit of the abyssal power nearly dragged the entire Teyvat continent into chaos. At that time, some of the Seven Gods were killed by them."
Keqing looked thoughtful as Smith continued, "I am human, so I understand humans. The only lesson humans have learned from history is that they haven't learned any lessons from history. If the gods hadn't imposed constraints and correct guidance, the events in Kanreya would have repeated themselves. It could have happened in Xumi, Winter Kingdom, Liyue, Inazuma, Mond—any country could have fallen."
Keqing sighed. "I feel that immortals are also human beings. If we govern Liyue together—Seven Stars managing the ordinary affairs, and the immortals and Rock King managing and guiding the people—it might be the most suitable path for Liyue."
Ningguang, who had been listening closely, commented, "It's a pity that I can't afford a weapon like Miss Qiu. Otherwise, it would serve as the foundation of Liyue."
She glanced at Miss Qiu's information in the discount store, feeling envious. Recently, the Abyss seemed restless. If she had a Miss Qiu, she could place it at the Qun Yu Pavilion. In case of future troublemakers, she could simply release Miss Qiu. Well, that would be a last resort.
Zhongli, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "I still have some points left to buy Miss Qiu. In this case, I'll buy it."
Zhongli didn't want others to have access to Miss Qiu. Such a powerful weapon was too dangerous to fall into the wrong hands. It needed to be kept under control, and maybe, in the future, it could be used as a trump card to protect Liyue.
Ningguang nodded but added, "Unfortunately, there are only a few discounted items left."
Smith smiled wryly. "It's a bit of a shame, but our points are low, especially since we only have a few missions now. I actually miss the missions."
Keqing chuckled. "Don't worry, Smith. I think we'll get more missions soon. You're so quick to miss them."
Smith sighed, "Forget it. I'll focus on digesting the master's spearmanship."
"By the way, are there any better spear weapons in Liyue?" Smith closed his eyes, feeling the effects of Scathach's spearmanship, and after a long moment, he asked Keqing.
Unlike the martial arts he learned from Morax before, Scathach's spearmanship made Smith's control over the spear reach her level. He no longer needed to spend points to master new skills. This left Smith feeling satisfied and saved him a lot of energy. All he had to do now was coordinate the spearmanship with his body.
Keqing thought for a moment. "As for spear weapons, the best in Liyue are the ones made by the Rock King. The most famous one is the Emperor's Piercing Rainbow Spear. Then there's the Hepu Kite, owned by the Great Sage of Demon Subjugation, and the Staff of Homa, wielded by Master Hu. As for others, I'm not particularly familiar with them. You might have to wait for an opportunity to buy a good weapon in the future."
Smith nodded thoughtfully. "What about the Xia Li Mie Chen?"
Keqing smiled slightly. "Ah, the original Xia Li Mie Chen was made in five copies. If you're willing to spend a lot, you should be able to find one. There's also the Qianyan Spear."
Smith raised an eyebrow at her. "Qianyan Spear?" He looked at her with a slight grin. "You've been eating up all my points, and now you want to deceive me?"
The Qianyan Spear was the standard weapon of the Qianyan Army. Smith had seen it before and considered it only a decent weapon, but not exceptional.
Keqing patiently explained, "It's not the current Qianyan Spear, but the earliest ones that have survived. Only a few people can use those now, and the Qianyan Army has preserved them. Unless it's absolutely necessary, those spears can't be used."
She added, "Even as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, I can't use them freely."
Smith raised his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, I understand now. Then I'll just look for it later on my own. No need to go out of the way for the Xia Li Mie Chen."
He paused before adding with a smile, "My strength will only continue to grow. Weapons like the Xia Li Mie Chen may not be able to match my power in the future. Fortunately, we have the Dimension Guild. Perhaps we can find something suitable in other worlds."
Smith hugged Keqing as he spoke, trying to ease her concerns. He didn't want her to go to great lengths or owe favors just to find a weapon for him.
Keqing smiled softly, feeling comforted by Smith's words. "I understand." If it weren't for Smith's suggestion, she might have really gone on a quest to find a suitable weapon for him. But now, she realized that other worlds offered much more potential.
Smith then added, "By the way, I need you and Ningguang to invest with me in building a production base for Coke. It's a better drink than Fengda." He smiled with confidence. "I'm sure we can get rich in no time!"
Keqing smirked. "In fact, I've always been quite wealthy. The assets of my entire family are even greater than Ningguang's. You're the only one without money." She didn't voice her thoughts aloud, though, choosing not to tease him.
