Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 119: Banking, an old-school art

Ying and Paimeng seemed to be frozen, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear.

With indescribable emotions churning in their hearts, the ancient saying of Liyue echoed in their minds.

"Starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death."

Shao Yun, who was standing next to them, had excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

He looked at the shocked faces of Ying and Paimon, smiled and said, "I know you are very excited now, but please calm down first."

Shao Yun's voice was full of confidence and pride, as if what he was about to show was the most precious treasure in the world.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued, "From now on, as long as you are willing, we can go to Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion to enjoy delicious food, live in the best place, and use the best items at any time. We will never worry about money again in our lives."

Shao Yun's words were full of beautiful visions for the future.

Paimeng was so shocked by Shao Yun's words that he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He stammered, "I, I dare not think about it..."

Shao Yun looked at Ying and Paimeng, his eyes full of sincerity and pleading, and he whispered: "I hope you can accompany me to witness this moment. Come with me to the Northland Bank, right now! I want you to see those mountains of Mora."

Suddenly, Paimon's eyes revealed a hint of worry and uneasiness.

She thought of Tartaglia, whose life or death was uncertain in the Golden House, and her heart tightened.

Faced with Shao Yun's request, she hesitated for a moment and finally chose to lie.

"Shao Yun, Ying and I still have some things to deal with." Paimeng's voice was trembling. She tried her best to remain calm, but the flicker in her eyes betrayed her. "You know, about the funeral ceremony for the immortals..."

Shao Yun keenly noticed Paimeng's abnormality. He watched her blinking while she lied, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

He frowned and was about to ask, but seeing Paimon's worried look, he chose to remain silent.

There is probably only one thing that Paimon could do behind his back...

"No matter what decision you make, I will support you." Shao Yun looked at Paimeng deeply, his voice firm and gentle, "Go, I believe in you."

Paimeng looked at Shao Yun with gratitude and hugged him gently. She knew that Shao Yun had noticed her abnormality, but she did not explain, and there was no need to explain.

She knew that Shao Yun would understand her and support her.

Shao Yun looked at Paimeng's departing back, feeling a little heavy in his heart. He knew that Paimeng and Ying must have something important to do, but he did not ask, nor did he stop them.

If the young master had begged for mercy, I would not have done this, but both sides were unwilling to let go of this...

"I will still rob the Northland Bank." Shao Yun muttered to himself, "I will bring back a lot of Mora." He pursed his lips, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

When Paimeng heard this, she just nodded slightly, indicating that she heard what Shao Yun said.

The three of them decided on the next plan tacitly.

……

Ying and Paimeng went to listen to the conversation between Ningguang and the immortal. Shao Yun was wiping his gun with gun oil and politely waiting for them to finish speaking.

Suddenly, Master Xueyue Zhuyang roared!

“The Seven Stars of Liyue! You want to cover up the world with one hand? Once the Emperor dies, you want to kick us immortals aside?” True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang’s words were as cold as ice, directly pointing out his distrust of Ningguang and the Seven Stars.

On the side, Shao Yun was concentrating on wiping the pump-action shotgun in his hand with gun oil.

Suddenly attracted by the words of Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Ningguang did not show any panic in the face of the questioning of Master Xueyue Zhuyang. She responded calmly: "The development of Liyue is inseparable from the efforts of the immortals and the Seven Stars. We, the Seven Stars, have always worked hard for the prosperity of Liyue and have never had any selfish motives. The immortals are worrying too much."

At this moment, Grandma Ping's voice broke the tense atmosphere. She walked forward with a smile and said softly, "Okay, okay, Xueyue, don't worry about it. Not only us, but also the people of Liyue will monitor the words and deeds of Qixing. We don't need to be so nervous."

Grandma Ping's words were like a spring breeze, easing the tense atmosphere. She continued, "Liyue is just like Ningguang said, children always have to leave their parents' arms. We must have confidence in Liyue ruled by humans."

After listening to Grandma Ping's words, True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang suddenly turned his gaze to Shao Yun, his eyes revealing an indescribable depth of meaning.

Shao Yun's heart tightened when he was looked at by that gaze. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, as if it was hinting at something, but he couldn't figure it out.

Then, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang turned his gaze to Ningguang, his voice full of disdain.

"Humph! I believe that you seven stars would not dare to do anything out of line!"

These words echoed among the people, as if carrying an invisible pressure, making Ningguang feel oppressed.

Shao Yun muttered in his heart: "What's going on? What do you think of me? What does Liyue's affairs have to do with me? Don't look at me with such a pleading look!"

Shao Yun felt helpless. He really had asked the wrong person for help. Unless Ningguang was stupid enough to threaten him with Ying or Paimeng, she would not care about him even if she had the final say or ascended the throne to become emperor!

At this time, True Lord Lishuidieshan and True Lord Liuyunjiefeng had nothing more to say. Seeing that the matter was over, the three immortals turned around and left.

Xiao watched the figures of the three immortals gradually go farther and farther away until they disappear at the end of his sight.

He took a deep breath of the fresh air after the rain, nodded slightly, and whispered: "Then I have to leave to track down that evil spirit. See you again if we are destined to."

At the same time, Paimeng and Ying were also preparing to leave. Paimeng turned to Shao Yun and said, "Then Ying and I will go first. Shao Yun, please be careful."

Shao Yun looked at them, smiled helplessly, and said, "You and Ying too, please be careful."

Then he turned his head slightly, his eyes fixed sharply on Ningguang who was trying to leave quietly.

"By the way, Miss Ningguang, send a team of Thousand Rocks troops and proceed according to the plan."

Ningguang was about to slip away when she suddenly heard Shao Yun's voice. She froze and had to turn around helplessly.

She nodded awkwardly, trying to hide her discomfort, and then said, "Okay, Keqing, you take a team of Thousand Rocks to block the area around the Northland Bank and don't let the people of Liyue get close."

After hearing Ningguang's instructions, Keqing showed a puzzled look on her face. She frowned slightly and asked, "Master Ningguang, this..."

Ningguang sighed deeply, seeming somewhat helpless. She explained, "This is the contract between Shao Yun and I. The Northland Bank will be one of his rewards."

After hearing this, Keqing understood and nodded to show her understanding. Then she said, "I understand, Lady Ningguang."

Keqing knew clearly in her heart how ruthless Shao Yun was and that the Northland Bank would definitely become history.

I secretly sighed in my heart that there would be another storm in Liyue Harbor.

……

Shao Yun was carrying a pump-action shotgun. The golden gun body looked heavy, as if foreshadowing the bloody storm that was to come.

He looked at Keqing beside him, his face full of helplessness.

"Let's go, Miss Yuhengxing, let's go rob!" Shao Yun's voice was low and firm, leaving no room for doubt.

When Keqing heard the word "robbery", her face turned pale. She had never thought that she would be associated with these two words in her life.

She bit her lower lip, trying not to look too scared, but her voice trembled involuntarily.

"Don't be so explicit!"

Shao Yun frowned indifferently and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go and make a fortune!"

He took big strides and walked towards the Northland Bank in Feiyunpo.

Every step was taken firmly and forcefully, as if telling Keqing that this operation was imperative.

Keqing covered her forehead and sighed weakly, "Oh my god, I never thought that I would help bandits rob in my lifetime. If this gets out, Liyue will lose face."

Shao Yun stopped walking after hearing this, turned around and stared at Keqing, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, you just need to maintain order and don't let the people of Liyue see me killing the Fatui, don't worry about anything else. I'm not asking you to help me pack up the Mora in the vault, what are you afraid of!"

Keqing felt Shao Yun's powerful aura and couldn't help but shudder.

She took a deep breath and tried to make herself look more resolute. She knew that at this moment, she had to support Shao Yun unconditionally, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"If you keep complaining, I might just be 'not satisfied' and rob those rich people in Yujingtai!" Shao Yun added, with a hint of threat in his tone.

Keqing's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly followed Shao Yun's steps.

"I'm really scared of you! This is the first time I've heard of a robbery with the expression 'not enough'!"

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that this operation would be successful and would not cause too much trouble to Liyue.

……

The early morning sun shines on the quaint streets of Liyue, making the roads sparkle.

Keqing followed behind Shao Yun, followed by a team of Qianyan soldiers, and their coordinated footsteps echoed in the empty streets.

Their destination was the Northland Bank in Feiyunpo.

On the way, Shao Yun, with an unruly air, imparted his "experience" to Keqing.

Pointing at the prosperous Mingxingzhai not far away, there was a strange light in his eyes.

"Keqing, look at this Mingxingzhai. Although it is an old brand, it is actually very easy to rob. I can rush in alone, take all the jewels inside, and then leave in style."

Keqing's heart trembled as she heard this, her brows furrowed. She had never thought that she would hear such outrageous words from Shao Yun.

However, Shao Yun did not stop his description. Instead, he continued in a more vivid way: "Of course, if you want to be safe, you need three people to cooperate. One to keep watch, one to control the people in the store, and the last one to rob. This way, you can be sure of success."

After talking about Mingxingzhai, Shao Yun turned the topic to Beiguo Bank. His eyes were shining with excitement, as if he had already seen the gold and silver treasures all over the ground.

"As for a place like a bank, it requires even more manpower. At least five people are needed. One person is on the lookout, one is in control of the situation, and one is responsible for the robbery. But there are two more steps. One more person is needed to open the vault, and the last person is responsible for preparing transportation to facilitate our evacuation."

Keqing's heart beat faster and faster, she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

She waved her hands hurriedly, interrupting Shao Yun's story: "Stop talking, what you said... I... I'm a little scared..."

Shao Yun didn't care. He shrugged and said with a relaxed smile: "What are you afraid of? These are all my experiences. If someone really robs a store or bank in the future, you can use the method I taught you to reverse it."

Keqing looked at Shao Yun's tall back, and a chill surged in her heart. She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and said, "I think there should be no one else in the world who can do such a thing except you. When the time comes, we can just arrest you."

Shao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you're such a good joke."

Keqing didn't laugh. She swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "I really hope... I was joking."

……

At the entrance of Northland Bank, Shao Yun quickly took out his mask and skillfully pulled it over his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.

His movements were swift and decisive. He held the shotgun's pump-action lever tightly in his left hand and used inertia to throw and pull the bullet into the chamber, making a low and powerful metallic sound.

This action seemed to be warming up for the action he was about to take, and his right hand took out a stick of dynamite from the backpack.

Keqing looked at Shao Yun's posture and couldn't help but sigh: "You are too professional."

Shao Yun did not turn around, but his voice reached Keqing's ears.

"Control the scene. I'm going to make a fortune."
