Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

As night falls, Liyue Harbor seems to be dotted with stars, with bright lights and a bustling atmosphere.

The hustle and bustle, shouting and bargaining on the streets come one after another, interweaving into a moving night market symphony.

Shao Yun left the Northland Bank and walked through the bustling crowd and arrived at the Tiger-Eating Rock area of ​​Liyue.

His eyes moved through the crowd and finally stopped at a familiar spot.

There, Zhongli, Ying and Paimon were sitting on chairs, talking and laughing happily.

Paimeng's eyes keenly captured Shao Yun's figure. She waved her hands excitedly and shouted loudly: "Shao Yun, we are here!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, which was particularly prominent in the noisy night market.

Shao Yun smiled slightly and quickened his pace. He walked through the crowd and came in front of the three people. He nodded slightly and said, "I'm here."

Afterwards, Shao Yun sat in the seat reserved for himself. He looked around and saw that the Tiger Rock dining area was bustling with activity, and the aroma of various delicacies filled his nose.

He took a deep breath and felt the unique atmosphere.

At this moment, Zhongli handed over a bowl of steaming rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice. He smiled and said, "Try it. This is Liyue's specialty snack - rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice."

Shao Yun took the bowl and saw that the dumplings in the bowl were crystal clear, exuding a faint fragrance of osmanthus and the sweetness of glutinous rice.

Shao Yun turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on Ying and Paimeng, and asked softly: "Have you two tried the rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice? How do they taste?"

Ying smiled and nodded, indicating that she had already tasted it. Paimeng couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "We've all finished eating! It's really delicious! Shao Yun, why don't you try it!"

Hearing this, Shao Yun smiled slightly, picked up the spoon and carefully scooped up a rice dumpling with fermented rice and put it into his mouth.

As soon as he took a bite, the unique sticky texture instantly conquered his taste buds.

The dumplings roll on the tip of your tongue, and the sugar syrup brings a hint of sweetness.

Not only that, the sesame seeds and crushed peanuts sprinkled on top add a different flavor that makes people linger on the taste.

Shao Yun chewed the food slowly, enjoying every moment of the wonderful feeling. After a few bites, he looked up with some doubt, looked at Zhongli and asked: "It's sweet, but I don't taste the feeling of alcohol."

Zhongli smiled and explained, "This is made with rock sugar, glutinous rice balls, and a little osmanthus wine. It is one of the desserts for Liyue breakfast. Although the alcohol content is very low, it can bring a pleasant taste experience to people."

While Shao Yun was eating, Tian Tiezui began to talk about Ningguang.

Every year, he would go to the Qun Yu Pavilion with three trusted aides to sort out intelligence and process information, then crush the paper and throw it out. The merchants in Liyue would scramble for the scraps of paper.

Tian Tiezui described the scraps of paper as broken snow.

Finally, Tian Tiezui sang: "There are poems praising it, floating in the air, like falling snow dust on the clouds. Dense and sparse, a single word is as precious as a rare treasure. The thought is revealed, and the mountains and rivers are swallowed up. Everyone knows that the power of heaven is supreme."

Shao Yun sat aside, listening quietly to Tian Tiezui's comments, with a hint of confusion on his face.

He turned around and whispered to Ying, Paimeng and Zhongli, "After listening to you, I was thinking about a question. Isn't it a bit unhygienic for Ningguang to throw objects from a high place and litter everywhere?"

Zhongli almost spit out his tea when he heard this.

Ying and Paimon were almost choked by their own saliva.

Zhongli quickly wiped the tea from his mouth and said helplessly: "Mr. Shao Yun, your focus is really peculiar."

Shao Yun smiled nonchalantly and continued, "And I'm also curious, can't those materials be burned? Wouldn't that be more convenient and quicker?"

Zhongli blinked, shook his head and said, "I am not too sure about this. Perhaps Lady Ningguang has her own considerations."

Shao Yun nodded and took another bite of the rice dumplings in the bowl. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "But this storyteller is really good. He called the scraps of paper "broken snow", which sounds quite meaningful."

Paimeng's focus was similar to everyone else's, and he asked, "Shao Yun, how much Mora do you think we can earn if we find a small piece of broken snow?" In Paimeng's eyes, even insignificant things may contain endless value.

Shao Yun shook his head with a hint of disdain in his tone.

"That garbage is not worth a single mora in my eyes. If I had the skills to pick up scraps of paper, I would join the treasure-stealing group. That way I can make money quickly!"

After Shao Yun finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh, and said regretfully: "Oh, I forgot to touch the bodies of the three treasure-stealing groups, damn it!"

Those two treasure-stealing gangs must have valuable stuff on them!

Hearing this, Zhongli, Ying and Paimon all twitched their lips at the same time, and then laughed awkwardly.

……

Then Tian Tiezui continued his storytelling, and the four of them were immersed in Tian Tiezui's vivid world of storytelling.

Shao Yun's eyes followed Tian Tiezui's narration, and he felt that the Liyue martial arts novel was also very interesting.

The glutinous rice balls in the bowl were almost empty. He took a sip and the sweet but not greasy taste danced on his tongue.

Just as he stretched and prepared to end the pleasant time tonight, a sudden call broke the tranquility of the night.

"I finally found you, Lady Ningguang's special guests."

The sound was so strange that it was impossible to determine its exact location.

Ying immediately looked around alertly, her eyes as sharp as an eagle, trying to catch the source of the sound.

Shao Yun pointed to the roof and said calmly: "The person is on the roof!"

Following the direction of his finger, Ying, Paimon and Zhongli looked up and saw a figure standing quietly on the roof.

The girl had long blue hair, which was tied into a naturally drooping ponytail at the back of her head.

There is a strand of aho-hair on the top of its head, two small black and red unicorn horns on both sides of its head, and a golden bell hanging on its standing collar.

The legendary coconut sheep "Ganyu" has appeared!

Ganyu stood on the roof, her figure looking particularly cold and lonely in the moonlight.

She looked at the people below and said calmly, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."

However, Shao Yun's heart was in turmoil. He looked up at Gan Yu and thought to himself: "You have no ill intentions, but I do. Are you a three-star sheepskin! Or a legendary unicorn skin? How can I peel off your skin..."

Although he thought so in his heart, he kept a calm smile on his face.

Just then, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, bringing with it a bit of biting chill.

Ganyu stood on the roof and couldn't help but sneeze, the sound echoing in the night sky.

"Well, when did the nights in Liyue Harbor become so cold?" There was some doubt in the voice.

Seeing this, Shao Yun waved his hand and said to Gan Yu, "Come down and tell me what you want to say!"

After hearing this, Ganyu jumped lightly and jumped down from the roof. She landed on the ground and then came in front of the four people.

"Hello, I'm Yue Haiting's secretary, my name is Gan Yu."

Her voice is like a clear mountain spring, clear and pleasant, making people feel comfortable.

She bowed slightly and greeted the four people in front of her.

Seeing this, Shao Yun smiled and introduced: "Hello, I'm Shao Yun. This is Ying, that cute little guy is Paimon, the best guide in Teyvat. And this is Mr. Zhongli, a guest of the Hall of Rebirth."

Gan Yu smiled and nodded, her eyes wandering over the four people, finally settling on Shao Yun. She said softly, "Mr. Shao Yun, Lady Ningguang asked me to invite you to the Qun Yu Pavilion for a chat tomorrow."

Shao Yun was stunned when he heard this, then pointed at himself and asked, "Are you saying that you want me to go to Qun Yu Pavilion alone?"

Gan Yu nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "Yes, Lady Ningguang only invited you."

Shao Yun frowned slightly and asked again: "Can't you bring someone else? I mean, why did she only invite me?"

Gan Yu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shao Yun. Lady Ningguang didn't mention why she only invited you, nor did she say whether you could bring others with you. She just asked me to convey this invitation to you."

Shao Yun pursed his lips gently, as if weighing what was about to happen. He raised his head and looked at Gan Yu firmly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Can I finish the funeral ceremony first and then go?"

Ganyu shook her head slightly, her face full of anxiety and her brows furrowed, as if something important was imminent.

"Lord Ningguang said this matter is urgent. You must arrive early tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Shao Yun frowned slightly. He knew that what Gan Yu said was true, but he still turned his head to look at Ying who was standing beside him, and asked softly: "Ying, what do you think? There are three things to deal with tomorrow, and the problem of manpower..."

Ying, however, seemed nonchalant. She smiled and replied, "Shao Yun, don't worry too much about such a small matter. Since Ganyu said it's urgent, let's go. As for the three things we have to do tomorrow, I think Paimeng, Zhongli and I should be able to finish them in one day."

Shao Yun felt a little relieved after hearing Ying's words. He nodded and looked back at Gan Yu.

"Okay, I understand. I will go to the Jade Pavilion on time tomorrow morning."

Gan Yu felt relieved when she saw Shao Yun finally agreed. She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, Shao Yun. I will convey your decision to Lady Ningguang. Then, I will leave first."

Shao Yun watched Gan Yu's back go farther and farther until she disappeared from his sight. He turned around and looked at Ying, Paimeng and Zhongli beside him, with a questioning expression on his face.

"Can you guys handle it tomorrow?" Shao Yun's voice echoed in the quiet air, revealing a hint of concern in his heart.

Zhongli nodded calmly.

"It's okay. You've already saved us a day today. Leave it to us tomorrow."

His words were calm and firm, like a stabilizing force, calming the doubts in Shao Yun's heart.

Seeing Zhongli so confident, Shao Yun felt relieved. He nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Then, Shao Yun turned his attention to the lively and lovely Paimeng. He smiled and said, "By the way, Paimeng, I'll see if I can make a complete 'Snow Scraps' tomorrow, so that you don't have to take me and Ying to the streets to look for scraps of paper in the future."

When Paimeng heard Shao Yun mention "Broken Snow", his eyes lit up immediately, and he thought about it.

However, at this moment, Ying immediately reminded: "Don't force yourself, and don't steal anything!"

When Shao Yun heard Ying's reminder, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's a legal method."
