Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Ying and Paimon rested in Liyue Harbor for a day. The next day, Shao Yun checked out of the inn, paid the rent, and prepared to return to Mondstadt.

The next morning, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng stood on the edge of the harbor, looking at the slowly rising sun in the distance, each with different expectations in their hearts.

Paimon said happily, "Wow! I'm finally going back to Mondstadt. I've always missed the juice and drinks there! I must enjoy them to my heart's content this time!"

Shao Yun glanced at the excited Paimeng beside him, then turned to Ying and said, "We can't trouble Amber again when we go back this time. I remember that Goethe has a lot of properties in Mondstadt, and he should be able to help us arrange a suitable residence."

That old man made a fortune on his own, and this time he wants it back with interest!

Suddenly a lazy and mysterious voice suddenly broke the silence around.

"Are you finally here? I almost fell asleep waiting."

The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure sitting on the steps not far away. She was wearing a large witch's hat, two different styles of black stockings, and different styles of shoes. She was particularly eye-catching in the sun.

Mona?

……

Mona jumped lightly and jumped into the portal-like thing in front of her.

There was a flash of light, and she instantly appeared in front of Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng.

She looked at the three people in front of her, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Hehe, my astrology is really not wrong. You guys really came on time."

After saying that, Mona waved gently with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Hey, you guys, follow me."

Shao Yun looked at Mona with a frown on his face. She didn't introduce herself, which made him a little unhappy.

Paimon looked at Mona and said warily, "You are a door-to-door salesman! Sorry, we don't need those gadgets."

Hearing Paimon's words, Mona stopped, turned slightly, shook her long hair gently, and showed a playful smile on her face.

She looked at Paimon and said mysteriously: "You don't belong to this world..."

Paimon was shocked when he heard this. He stared at Mona with wide eyes and said in surprise: "You! How did you know!"

Mona looked at Paimon's surprised expression and was very satisfied.

"Because I know the real astrology. I know all your little secrets."

Shao Yun raised his hand to attract Mona's attention.

"You know everything, are you sure?"

"Of course, I am a great astrologer..."

However, before she finished speaking, Shao Yun had already pulled out the Scofield revolver from his waist. He looked at Mona coldly, with a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"Then you know a lot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yun pulled the trigger. With a "bang" sound, Mona's witch hat was shot off, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground.

Mona was frightened by the sudden attack and turned pale. She hurriedly covered her head, squatted on the ground, and begged for mercy tremblingly.

"Hey! Help!"

At this moment, Ying quickly rushed forward, grabbed Shao Yun's right arm, and persuaded him: "Shao Yun, wait a minute, don't get excited! Let's listen to what she wants to do first, and then make a decision, don't just shoot!"

When Mona heard Ying's words, there was a hint of tears in her voice.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to create some mystery, I mean no harm!"

Although Shao Yun was stopped by Ying, he still pointed the gun at Mona and said coldly, "You didn't even introduce yourself to us when we met, and you asked us to follow you. Are you a human trafficker pretending to be a fortune teller?"

Don’t people who go out introduce themselves these days?

If I don't introduce myself, I will think of that rude devil! It will make me angry!

Mona was frightened and flustered by Shao Yun's words. She quickly stammered and began to introduce herself.

"My full name is... 'Bapo Shuligangulitai Pumpengkepi Pumpengcona Fischer von Rufuschloss Nafedot Astrologis Mona Megistus'."

Shao Yun felt extremely impatient listening to this long name, which sounded as complicated as a tongue twister in her mouth.

He suddenly raised the gun in his hand, pointed it at the sky, and there was a deafening gunshot.

"Keep it brief! I can't remember it. If I can't remember it, I'll get angry. If I'm angry, I'll tend to do bad things!" Shao Yun suddenly roared.

Mona was frightened by the sudden gunshot and responded tremblingly.

"Those who respect me... call me 'Astrologis Mona Megistus'."

Shao Yun raised his gun to the sky again, and there was another roar. This time, his voice was even colder.

"I don't want to respect a weird guy like you! Make it shorter, or your life won't be as long as your name!"

Mona turned pale with fright at this stern warning. She hurriedly adjusted her breathing and tried to calm herself down.

"Mona, you can just call me Mona! I'm really an astrologer."

Shao Yun watched Mona finish introducing herself and slowly put away the gun.

Like the Sichuan Opera's face-changing, he put on a kind smile.

"A simple self-introduction is not difficult, Miss Mona. Remember to be more direct next time and don't be mysterious. I hate playing secretive games with 'people' other than Ying and Paimon!"

Mona looked at Shao Yun's gradually relaxed face, and the tension in her heart eased a little.

She took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm sorry, actually I have something to ask you, and I wanted to have a gorgeous opening. Sorry, don't kill me."

After hearing what Mona said, Shao Yun slowly put the Schofield revolver in his hand back into the holster.

Ying picked up the witch hat on the ground and gently put it on Mona's head.

"Miss Mona, your hat. By the way, what do you want?"

"Thank you..." Mona took a deep breath and continued, "I came here to help my master go to Mond to get a box. This box was an agreement made between my master and a friend of hers fifty years ago. However, because my master is old and has difficulty walking, she entrusted me, her apprentice, to do it for her."

Paimon floated in the air, a puzzled look on his face: "Mona, if that's the case, why did you look for us?"

A trace of timidity flashed across Mona's face. She bit her lip and explained, "Originally, I used astrology to predict that you were going to Mondstadt, so I wanted you to take me with you. But I also used astrology to observe that my master's friend had already left Mondstadt, and the one keeping the box now is her successor."

"I have always admired my master and hoped to become an outstanding astrologer like her. My master and her friend have been fighting in the field of mysticism for a lifetime, but they still can't decide the winner. The older generation couldn't decide the winner either, so I want to compete with the successor of the safe deposit box to see who is better."

She paused and continued, "I think the successor is like me, a student who is better than the teacher. A simple academic competition cannot show my strength. In this case, I plan to work hard on inheritance."

Paimon scratched his head in confusion, not understanding the meaning of this.

"But none of us know astrology. Even if we learn it now, it may not be possible..."

“I’m not asking you to really become my apprentices and help me put on a show. You are the heroes who saved Mondstadt and Liyue. Pretend to be my apprentices and accompany me. This way, even if the successor is slightly better, I won’t be too embarrassed.”

Mona showed a shy smile on her face.

"This is the real reason why I came here to ask for help. I hope you can understand my vanity. I won't let you work for nothing!"

……

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng quietly walked aside and discussed in a low voice.

Shao Yun asked softly: "Ying, what do you think? Should we take her with us?"

Ying's eyes fell on Mona's figure in the distance, weighing the pros and cons.

"From the looks of her, she doesn't seem to be part of a group of treasure hunters. And we do need to go to Mondstadt. She said she wouldn't let us work for nothing. I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring her along. We can just consider it as making friends."

Paimon nodded and agreed, "I think so too. Mona doesn't look like a bad person."

After a brief discussion, the three finally reached a consensus. Shao Yun took a deep breath and walked in front of Mona.

"Mona, we have decided to take you with us to Mond. But before that, we need to make it clear what kind of compensation you can offer us?"

Mona smiled slightly, her eyes lingering on Ying for a moment.

"I don't have much money. But my most valuable things are the knowledge in my head and the astrology I possess. When I find the successor, I can use astrology to help you. For example, I know you are looking for your blood relatives, and I can provide some clues."

Shao Yun felt something was wrong. The successor, if I remember correctly, was Klee. Would that be okay?

Hearing this, Ying's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she asked eagerly: "Then can you help me find my brother?"

Mona shook her head slightly, an awkward smile on her face.

"I'm afraid it's difficult for me to do it now. But if I can find the successor, I might be able to accurately locate your brother's whereabouts!"

Ying's face showed excitement, and she thanked Mona: "Thank you, Teacher Mona! We will definitely play the role of apprentice well!"

Mona scratched her head shyly and whispered, "Oh, I'm a little embarrassed to be called teacher..."
