Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 105: Tartaglia is always on call

Zhongli glanced at the Qianyan soldiers who were approaching rapidly, then turned his head and looked at Shao Yun, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about some profound question.

"By the way, which country is the Prometheus you just mentioned from?"

Shao Yun blinked slightly when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his lips. He looked at Zhong Li with a half-smile, and said casually: "I made it up, do you believe it?"

Zhongli was slightly stunned, then chuckled. He shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"I do not believe……"

At this moment, the soldiers of Qianyan Army had surrounded them.

Their captain "Hua Qing" is a burly and imposing man.

When he saw the tragic scene, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Shao Yun and Zhongli in surprise. His brows were furrowed, as if he wanted to solve this mysterious scene.

"You guys!" Hua Qing's voice was harsh, "What on earth is going on?"

His eyes flickered between the two of them, as if searching for a clue to the answer.

Shao Yun stood in the messy scene, facing Captain Hua Qing's questioning, appearing exceptionally calm and indifferent.

He turned slightly and tapped Ying and Paimon gently on the shoulders.

"You two can wake up now."

There was no trace of emotion in Shao Yun's voice, as if he was narrating a trivial matter.

Ying and Paimon woke up as if from a dream. They slowly opened their eyes and put down their hands that were covering their ears. The scene before them made their pupils shrink suddenly.

Paimon's eyes were filled with fear. She pointed at the three corpses and said in a trembling voice, "This... this..."

Shao Yun didn't seem to care about it. He shrugged and said lightly: "Don't worry, the friendly Qianyan Army will help us deal with these bodies."

Captain Hua Qing frowned at this time and looked at Shao Yun with a hint of anger in his tone.

"You have to give me a reasonable explanation! What on earth is going on?"

Shao Yun glanced at Hua Qing calmly, then walked to Huang Mazi's body. He gently kicked Huang Mazi's body with his toes, as if to confirm something.

"Isn't it obvious?" Shao Yun raised a mocking smile. "These three treasure-stealing groups wanted to harm us. I was just protecting myself. As for you, the Qianyan Army, you came too late. If I hadn't had some skills, we would have been the four lying on the ground."

Hua Qing was so angry at Shao Yun's attitude that his face turned red. He was about to lose his temper but was interrupted by Shao Yun's next words.

"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first." Shao Yun said, and was about to leave, "We still have a lot of things to do."

When Hua Qing saw Shao Yun was about to leave, he held the axe in his tightly clenched hand, which was emitting a cold metallic luster, and blocked Shao Yun's way. He said with a firm look, "You can't leave like this. We must make sure everything is investigated thoroughly."

Shao Yun sighed softly, his eyes revealing helplessness and fatigue. He shook his head and said in a slightly cold voice: "Collecting corpses is not our responsibility."

Hearing this, Hua Qing stared into Shao Yun's eyes and said firmly, "But this time is different. Things are too strange. We must make sure there are no omissions, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Shao Yun's face darkened slightly as he inferred that he was guilty. He stared at Hua Qing with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"You mean, I'm lying? You think I killed innocent people and then changed their clothes to cover up the truth?"

Hua Qing was frightened by Shao Yun. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner tension and anxiety.

"Who knows..."

In this tense atmosphere, a female voice was heard.

"Stop, why are you making so much noise!"

I saw a girl with two purple "dumplings" on her head walking over.

Keqing is here, but it feels like she came a little early.

Keqing's sudden appearance was like a stream of clear spring water, instantly calming the conflict that was about to break out.

When Hua Qing heard Keqing's voice, he immediately put away his arrogance and hostility, stood at attention, and said respectfully: "Master Keqing, we have found four murder suspects here."

Shao Yun was furious when he saw this, and he retorted fiercely: "Open your eyes and take a good look, these three are obviously members of the treasure-stealing group!"

Keqing did not respond to Shao Yun immediately, but walked to the three members of the treasure-hunting group who had fallen to the ground and examined them carefully. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and she soon found a treasure-hunting crow seal on the body of a treasure-hunting group member.

Keqing stood up and turned her gaze towards Shao Yun. She said firmly, "Indeed, they are members of the Treasure Stealing Group, not innocent Liyue citizens."

After hearing Keqing's confirmation, Shao Yun's tense nerves relaxed a little. He asked, "Since it has been confirmed, can we leave now?"

Keqing did not answer directly, but handed the treasure-hunting crow seal in her hand to a Qianyan soldier next to her. Then, she walked up to Shao Yun, looked him up and down, and asked calmly: "Excuse me, who are you four?"

Shao Yun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and replied, "My name is Shao Yun." He pointed to the three people behind him and introduced them one by one, "This is Zhongli, the guest official of Wangsheng Hall, that is Ying, and the other is Paimeng."

Keqing listened to Shao Yun's introduction with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Are you the 'Shao Yun' who single-handedly resisted the abyss army that attacked Mondstadt, captured the leader of the Mondstadt Treasure Thieves, 'Strange Bird', and massacred the entire Mondstadt Fatui?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and heavy, as if the air had frozen. The Qianyan Army, these warriors who were usually known for their toughness and calmness, all took a deep breath without exception.

There was a hint of disbelief and surprise in their eyes.

Shao Yun stood among the crowd, his expression still as calm as water, as if the noise from the outside world had nothing to do with him.

When Keqing's words fell into his ears, he just smiled faintly and said in a calm voice: "I thought you would say, 'Ah, so you are the one who was invited to the Qun Yu Pavilion by Ningguang.'"

Keqing shook her head slightly, her eyes were firm and bright, as if she could see into people's hearts.

"I look at people based on their strength. I don't care about empty reputations."

Her words were so powerful that one could not help but feel respect for her.

Shao Yun sighed softly, his voice full of humility. "I'm not strong," he shook his head and continued, "Ying is the strongest. The blond traveler who fought the dragon is much stronger than me."

Keqing turned her gaze to Ying beside her, her eyes full of admiration.

Then, she turned to Shao Yun and introduced herself: "Let's not talk about that anymore. I am Keqing, the Jade Star of the Liyue Seven Stars."

Shao Yun nodded, his expression still neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hello Miss Keqing," he said, "May I ask if we can leave now?"

Keqing's eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing straight at the scattered corpses of the treasure-stealing group on the ground. Her eyes revealed confusion and doubt.

"Hey, can you tell me what you are doing?"

After hearing what Keqing said, Shao Yun began to explain.

"We received a commission from a little girl named Qiqi. She is looking for a legendary creature called 'Coconut Sheep'."

At this point, Shao Yun gently kicked the corpse of the treasure-stealing group on the ground and continued, "But looking at the current situation, we have obviously failed, so we have to go back and talk to the client."

Keqing listened to Shao Yun's explanation, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she nodded and said to Shao Yun: "Okay, you can leave.

Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and Zhongli left.

After the four people left, Keqing trained the Thousand Rocks soldiers to clean up the scene.

Keqing noticed that the eyes of two members of the treasure-stealing group were pierced, and they were obviously hit by fatal attacks. This made her frown and she had a deeper understanding of the battle just now.

However, what shocked Keqing the most was the member of the treasure-stealing group named Huang Mazi. He was lying on the ground, motionless, with a huge arrow stuck in his body. The arrow almost pierced his body and nailed him firmly to the ground.

Keqing took a deep breath and turned her gaze to the repaired Guizhong machine. This machine, which had been damaged beyond recognition, was now intact.

Its mechanical parts gleamed with a cold luster in the sunlight, as if telling of its power and majesty.

"Return to the final machine. Is it repaired?"

……

The four returned to Bubulu, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the house, illuminating their tired and slightly frustrated faces. They sat around the table and told Qiqi in detail about their search for the coconut sheep.

After Qiqi heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in her voice: "Didn't you hunt the coconut sheep? Although I know it may just be a legend, but...but I feel so sad..."

Seeing Qiqi's lost look, Paimeng was moved. She asked curiously, "Qiqi, what kind of animal is a coconut sheep? Is it a kind of sheep?"

Qiqi frowned slightly and began to look through her notes. Her fingers slid across the yellowed paper, as if looking for some kind of answer. After a while, she muttered to herself, "The milk of the coconut goat is delicious, so... it must be a semi-immortal beast."

As she spoke, Qiqi turned to the part that recorded coconut milk. She pointed at the words on the notebook and said, "Look, it says coconut goat milk, coconut milk."

Paimon scratched his head and asked in confusion, "So... is that coconut goat milk, or just 'coconut milk'?"

Qiqi raised her head and looked at Paimon, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

“Just ‘coconut milk’.

Shao Yun turned around and his eyes fell on Ying standing beside him and Paimeng floating in the air.

He muttered to the two of them in a very low voice: "If I remember correctly, coconut milk should be a drink made from a mixture of coconut juice and coconut meat..."

Although his voice was low, it was loud enough for Ying and Paimon who were nearby to hear clearly.

Ying gently covered her face, nodded, and with a helpless smile on her face, she replied: "Shao Yun, you are not mistaken."

Shao Yun turned his gaze to Paimeng, looking at her somewhat embarrassed face, and said, "Paimeng, come and explain it to Qiqi."

When Paimeng heard Shao Yun's words, she opened her mouth in surprise and asked, "Why me?" Her voice was full of confusion and doubt.

Shao Yun looked at Paimeng's round body and short limbs, smiled and said, "I feel that you are quite similar to Qiqi in some aspects..." Before he finished his words, Paimeng realized something and an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

Paimeng protested, "Shao Yun! Stop bringing up my height! Qiqi and I are completely different individuals!"

……

In the end, Paimeng couldn't convince Shao Yun, so he used his hands to explain to Qiqi the origin of coconut milk.

"Coconut milk is actually the milky white liquid squeezed from the coconut. After processing and adding some sugar and other condiments, it becomes the sweet and smooth coconut milk we often drink. It is not the milk of coconut goats."

After hearing this, Qiqi's eyes, which were originally empty and lifeless, suddenly rippled. She lowered her head and thought, as if trying to understand this sudden new knowledge. After a long time, she murmured to herself: "So coconut milk is... like this."

There was a hint of surprise, curiosity, and joy of sudden enlightenment in his voice.

Paimon looked at Qiqi's reaction and said helplessly: "Qiqi seems to be lost in thought."

Shao Yun stood aside with his hands spread out, showing his helplessness and waiting attitude.

"Then let her think about it for a while. She may need some time to digest this new knowledge. Let's wait for Doctor Baizhu to come back before we go shopping."

Just as Shao Yun finished speaking, before even the air had time to tremble, a clear voice rang out from behind him, as pleasant as the sound of spring water hitting rocks: "Who is looking for me?"

Shao Yun couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then he turned his head and saw a young man walking towards him. He had emerald green hair and a grass-shaped God's Eye tied around his waist.

And around his slender neck, there was actually a snake wrapped around it. The snake's scales shone faintly in the sunlight, like a gorgeous ornament.

Seeing the snake, Shao Yun's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of surprise and excitement surged in his heart. He muttered to himself: "Where is my small animal arrow? The three-star snake skin appeared!"

The snake on Bai Zhu's neck seemed to sense Shao Yun's gaze. It raised its head slightly and spit out its tongue. Its cold snake eyes swept over Shao Yun, as if to say, "Are you looking at me?"

Then, it seemed to sense the coolness of the surroundings, and said in confusion: "Hey, it's so cold today..."

Seeing this, Bai Zhu touched the snake's head lovingly and said soothingly, "Changsheng, don't be naughty."

He then turned to the four people in the store and smiled warmly.

"I am Bai Shu, the boss of Bulu. I am honored to have several distinguished guests here. Is there anything I can help you with?"

As the representative of the four, Zhongli stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, does your store have any immortality incense?"

His voice is low and magnetic, revealing a sense of calmness and composure.

Bai Zhu smiled slightly, nodded, and replied: "Eternal Life Incense, of course. This is the treasure of our store, it is of high quality and has a long-lasting fragrance. However, the price..." He paused and held up three fingers, "Three million Mora."

When Paimon suddenly heard the number "three million Mora", her eyes widened as big as copper bells. Her voice was obviously trembling and shocked. She could hardly believe her ears: "Three million Mora! This..."

Shao Yun, who was standing next to her, seemed unusually calm and composed. He nodded slightly, as if he had expected such an outcome, and said calmly, "We'll take it, and send the bill to Northland Bank."

Hearing Shao Yun's words, Bai Zhu frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a bit of surprise and embarrassment.

Isn't this just buying on credit?

"I'm sorry. If it's ordinary herbs, I can buy them on credit. After all, human life is at stake. But this Eternal Life Incense is not a herb..."

Paimeng looked at Bai Zhu's embarrassed expression and felt anxious.

So she turned to look at Ying, hoping she could think of some solution.

Ying hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since we can't use the method of sending a bill to get reimbursed, we can only ask you for help."

"Yes! Let's go find him now!" Paimon said and was about to take Ying to find Tartaglia.

I really hope Tartaglia can be like Cao Cao and do what he says...

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared at the door of Bupulu. Dadalia smiled and walked into the store with brisk steps.

"What a coincidence, you are here."

Shao Yun was stunned. He stared at Tartaglia with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

My mouth is so clever, even cleverer than Aladdin's magic lamp!

He slapped his mouth subconsciously, then waved his hand and smiled awkwardly: "Hello, Cao Cao."

When Tartaglia heard this, a trace of confusion appeared on his face. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What?"

Shao Yun hurried forward, his tone revealing an excitement that was hard to conceal.

"Nothing, your only role can be reflected."

Tartaglia was even more confused. He looked at Shao Yun in confusion, trying to figure out the meaning behind these sudden words.

Shao Yun stopped beating around the bush and pointed at Mr. Bai Shu standing beside him and said, "It costs three million Mora to buy the Eternal Life Incense. Pay the money."

As soon as these words came out, a hint of shock flashed in Tartaglia's eyes.

He turned around and looked at the other three people who were nodding in agreement, then scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I came at the right time."
