Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

The setting sun filled every corner of Liyue Harbor. The golden afterglow reflected on the ancient buildings of Bulu, adding a bit of tranquility and solemnity to this bustling city.

Shao Yun, Ying, Paimon, Zhongli and Tartaglia left the busy Bulu together, walked on the cobblestone road, passed through the bustling streets, and came to Yiyan Palace.

In front of Yiyan Hall, the venue originally prepared for the ceremony of inviting the immortals has now been arranged into a venue for the ceremony of sending off the immortals and paying tribute to them.

Workers were busy moving around, some hanging lanterns, some placing offerings, and the air was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Zhongli walked slowly up to the altar and gently inserted the eternal life incense in his hand into the incense burner.

Shao Yun stood aside, seemingly thinking about something. He turned to Zhongli and asked, "How many things are missing?"

Zhongli pondered for a moment and replied, "We still need the Dust Cleansing Bell, the kite, and the wild colored glaze lily."

Shao Yun nodded and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhongli.

"We've done enough for today. Do you remember our agreement tonight?"

Tartaglia came over curiously and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "What's your agreement? Can you take me with you?" His eyes were shining with curiosity and desire.

Shao Yun glared at Tartaglia and said unhappily: "You're so annoying, you're everywhere!" There was a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction in his tone.

Tartaglia didn't care at all, still smiling as she said, "I just want you to reconcile with the Fatui. The more friends you have on your journey, the more roads you will have!"

His tone was relaxed and sincere, as if he was really thinking about Shao Yun.

Following the fools will not lead to many paths, but only a dead end!

Shao Yun rubbed his fingers.

"Okay then, first step, reimburse me for the bill."

Dadalia was confused by Shao Yun's sudden request. He scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Aren't you sending it to Northland Bank? What do you want me to reimburse?"

Shao Yun frowned even more when he heard this. He explained impatiently, "I paid for the ointment with my own money. They won't give me credit, so you have to reimburse me quickly."

It was then that Tartaglia realized what was going on. He reached for his wallet and asked, "How much is it?"

Shao Yun held up three fingers and answered concisely, "Three hundred and thirty thousand Mora."

This number made Tartaglia's eyes widen instantly. He looked at Shao Yun in disbelief, his voice trembling a little.

"You must be kidding, what kind of perfume is so expensive!"

Shao Yun looked at Tartaglia's shocked reaction, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"What? You don't want to pay? Then I will..."

Seeing that Shao Yun seemed to be about to get angry, Tartaglia quickly waved his hand to interrupt him, and his tone was full of flattery: "No, I will reimburse you right away, don't worry."

Tartaglia frowned. He counted the Moras in his hand, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He looked up at Shao Yun beside him, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"After I paid for the Eternal Life Incense, I only had 200,000 Mora left in my pocket. This..."

Shao Yun glanced at the purse in Tartaglia's hand, then looked towards the distant Feiyunpo, where the Northland Bank was located.

Then he pointed in that direction and said in a relaxed tone: "Then go and get the money quickly!"

After hearing this, Tartaglia was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he thought of something. He stopped, turned to look at Shao Yun, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"How about Mr. Shao Yun come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun curled up a playful smile and looked at Tartaglia meaningfully.

"Aren't you afraid that I might rob the Northland Bank?"

Tartaglia was amused by Shao Yun's words, then smiled awkwardly. He scratched his head and explained, "I don't think you are the kind of person who would tear up the contract, and it's really a waste of time for me to run back and forth."

After hearing this, Shao Yun nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Then I want 400,000 Mora, and the 70,000 is my errand fee."

Tartaglia was completely shocked by Shao Yun's words. He widened his eyes and his pupils revealed an expression of disbelief.

This bandit! He asked for an extra 70,000 Mora with his mouth opened and closed!

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end only an exclamation came out.

"what!"

Shao Yun couldn't help but laugh at Tartaglia's appearance. He almost couldn't help but slap Tartaglia to wake him up.

But he resisted the urge and said coldly: "Ah, what? You take me to get reimbursed, or you bring the money to me. Choose one."

Tartaglia was overwhelmed by Shao Yun's momentum. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. After a moment, he said, "Then come with me. Just think of it as using 70,000 Mora to save me the trouble of running."

Shao Yun nodded, agreeing to Tartaglia's proposal.

The two of them prepared to go to the Northland Bank together.

However, at this moment, Zhongli's voice suddenly rang out.

"We'll be waiting for you at Tian Tiezui, over at Chihuyan, don't forget."

Shao Yun turned around and looked at Zhongli, waved his hand and said, "Got it."

……

In the bustling streets of Liyue, the Northland Bank in Feiyunpo stands there. From the outside, it is no different from other buildings in Liyue, simple and elegant.

However, when Tartaglia took Shao Yun through the heavy wooden door and stepped into the bank, it was as if they had entered a completely different world.

Inside the bank, a magnificent scene comes into view. Golden decorations are everywhere, from the chandeliers on the ceiling, to the floor tiles, to the surrounding walls, all revealing a luxurious and grand feeling.

It feels like being in a palace made of gold, which is dazzling.

Tartaglia and Shao Yun walked in the luxurious environment, their steps calmly and firmly. They came to the counter, where stood a member of the Fatui named Ekaterina.

When she saw the two people coming, she immediately showed a respectful expression on her face, bowed slightly and said, "My Lord, my Lord's friends, hello."

Tartaglia nodded and said directly: "I need 400,000 Mora to supplement the activity funds."

Upon hearing this, Ekaterina replied without any hesitation: "Okay, please wait a moment, sir, I will take care of it right away." Then she started to get busy.

Shao Yun seemed quite cold when addressing Ekaterina. He whispered to Dartagalia beside him: "I'm not your friend." His words revealed a firmness and a sense of distance.

After hearing this, Tartaglia smiled slightly, as if he was not affected by Shao Yun's words. He laughed easily and said, "Haha, I hope you are a friend of our Fatui." His voice was full of expectation and friendliness.

However, after hearing this, Shao Yun just shook his head slightly and said in a firm tone: "The same thing, unless I die." His eyes revealed a kind of indomitable and resoluteness.

While waiting to withdraw the money, Shao Yun's eyes kept wandering around the internal structure of the Northland Bank, as if he was looking for something, just like a bandit scouting the area.

His eyes were sharp and deep, which made Tartaglia curious.

"What are you looking at?" Tartaglia finally couldn't help asking.

Shao Yun turned his head, a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "I was wondering, with so few of you, aren't you afraid of being robbed?" There was a provocation and temptation in his tone.

Tartaglia didn't react for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Hahaha, you are joking, who dares to seize our Fatui's territory..."

Suddenly he realized the deeper meaning of Shao Yun's words. Looking at Shao Yun's half-smile, he swallowed and his tone became a little nervous.

"Don't joke about this, okay? We have a contract, and I think we get along pretty well."

Shao Yun did not respond directly to his concerns. He just patted Tartaglia's shoulder gently and said calmly: "Then I will look forward to the day when you tear up the contract."

Although his words were calm, they made Tartaglia feel an inexplicable chill.

Everyone knows that as long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. This is all Ningguang's delaying tactic, and Tartaglia knows it well.

The air around the two of them seemed heavy as if it had solidified, and the tense atmosphere was like a taut string that could break at any time.

At this moment, a clear voice broke the oppressive silence.

Ekaterina held a heavy purse in her hand and said softly, "Sir, the money is out."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tartaglia quickly took over the topic. He smiled slightly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

"Oh, okay." After saying that, he took the purse and handed it to Shao Yun without hesitation.

"Here, four hundred thousand Mora, not a cent less."

Shao Yun took the purse, then looked at Tartaglia deeply, turned around and was about to leave.

Just as Shao Yun was about to take a step, Ekaterina's voice rang out again.

"Goodbye, my lord's friend." Her voice was gentle and polite, like a spring breeze.

After hearing this, Shao Yun suddenly stopped, looked back at Ekaterina, and spoke slowly.

"This is the kindest I have ever been to you Faints. Next time I come here, it will be even more lively than the Goethe Hotel in Mond!"

After saying this, Shao Yun left without looking back.

Ekaterina watched him leave, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. She turned to look at Tartaglia, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, and asked: "My Lord, this man..."

Tartaglia sighed deeply, and seemed to be worried about the difficulties he was about to face. He said slowly: "He is Shao Yun, an extremely terrifying character who even Lord Ningguang had to come out in person to ask us to sign a truce agreement with him."

After hearing this, Ekaterina was so shocked that she could hardly speak. She repeated in a trembling voice: "This, this..."

She couldn't imagine that Shao Yun, who seemed to leave calmly, actually possessed such powerful strength.

Tartaglia looked at Ekaterina's reaction and was also worried. He continued, "It's only a matter of time before we fall out with him. You must be careful when that happens. The incident at the Goethe Hotel is a lesson for us. I'm worried that such a tragedy is likely to happen again in Liyue."

Ekaterina gathered herself and tried to calm herself down. She asked, "With you here, will we still be afraid of him?"

Tartaglia shook his head and said seriously, "My colleagues at the Goethe Hotel thought so too, but what was the result? Only the 'lady' survived. He was really capable of killing without regard for the consequences."

After hearing this, Ekaterina became even more uneasy. She thought about it and suggested, "Then we should send someone to take the initiative?"

Tartaglia immediately rejected the suggestion. He said seriously, "Absolutely not. If we act rashly and anger him, then our Northland Bank will be even more lively than the Goethe Hotel."

After hearing this, Ekaterina could imagine a pile of heads hanging in front of the bank.

When she thought of the Fatui being slaughtered by others, Ekaterina's face was filled with reluctance and persistence. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if she wanted to say something.

"Everyone has weaknesses, so we can target the people around him."

However, her words were interrupted by Tartaglia's wave of her hand. If this happened, in the future, when people wanted to describe the desperate situation of "bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles", they would only have to say "the deepest winter".

"No need to say more, Ekaterina. Our first priority is to find the Immortal Ancestor of the Rock God and seize the Heart of God. Do you have any new information?"

Ekaterina lowered her head slightly, a hint of apology flashed across her face, and she whispered.

"I'm sorry, Master. We haven't found the Immortal Ancestor of the Rock God yet, and there's no news from the Hall of Rebirth. We've searched every corner of Liyue Harbor, and even the Jade Capital Terrace, but there's still no trace of the Rock God's body."

Tartaglia frowned slightly, and looked towards the door, as if thinking about something. He muttered in a low voice: "Inside Liyue Harbor..."

Then, Tartaglia nodded and said to Ekaterina, "I understand. You continue searching. I will try to get more information from Shao Yun. Maybe there will be some news that we don't know."
