Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Qin looked at the backs of the Lawrence family members fleeing in panic in the distance, looked at Shao Yun doubtfully and asked: "Shao Yun, I didn't mean to offend you...but I thought you were going to kill them all."

Shao Yun shrugged and said calmly, "It's a big festival, why do you keep killing people for no reason? I don't have the habit of killing people as sacrifices."

Qin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard this. She coughed twice to cover up her gaffe. "Ahem... so that's how it is. I... I thought..."

Shao Yun waved his hand, interrupting Qin's words. He said nonchalantly, "Okay, stop hiding it. I'm in a good mood recently, just tell me what you want to say. Do you have any work that needs our help?"

Qin thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, I was planning to let the Knights handle it. But since you are here, I will leave it to you."

Shao Yun stretched out his hand, motioning Qin to hand over the task to him.

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

Captain Qin took out a piece of paper with the task written on it and handed it to Shao Yun.

Shao Yun took the note, unfolded it, and lines of neat handwriting came into view.

"Go to the Cat's Tail Tavern and inform the bartender 'Diona' to arrive at the venue in front of the West Wind Cathedral at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning..."

Shao Yun read it aloud softly, but felt that it was a bit ambiguous, so he looked at Captain Qin in confusion.

“Is this an invitation or a notification?”

Leader Qin explained, "It's a notice. Margaret from the Cat's Tail Tavern has already told Miss Diona that she will be the judge. You just need to remind her not to be late tomorrow."

Shao Yun nodded and carefully put the note away.

"Leave this matter to me. Is that the only thing?"

The head of the Qin group sighed softly and said with some embarrassment: "There are still some places in the venue that have not been arranged. But..."

Before she finished her words, Shao Yun had already taken over the task without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go and help."

Captain Qin felt that Shao Yun was a little too enthusiastic, and asked curiously: "I have no ill intentions, but can I ask why you are so enthusiastic?"

Shao Yun answered without thinking, "The reason we came back to Mondstadt is to attend the 'Fine Wine Festival'. If we don't leave good memories for ourselves, then what's the point of coming back?"

Captain Qin nodded with sudden realization.

"I see……"

Shao Yun turned around and discussed with Ying.

"So, do you want to accompany me to the Cat's Tail Tavern, or should we split up?"

Ying thought for a moment and replied, "Then Paimon and I will go to the venue first."

Shao Yun nodded in agreement: "See you later, then."

……

On the other side, the “battle-damaged” Lawrence family manor looked particularly desolate in the sun.

Schubert Lawrence, the current head of the Lawrence family, hurried back with his family members wearing a pair of "pants".

As soon as he entered the gate of the manor, Schubert's eyes were fixed on the badly damaged villa.

This villa, which once symbolized the glory of his family, has now become a "mud house". He clenched his fists in anger and roared in a low voice: "This is outrageous! When has our Lawrence family ever suffered such humiliation!"

Seeing the half-dressed owner so angry, Milton Lawrence quickly took off his coat and handed it respectfully to Schubert.

"Master, please put on my clothes and cover yourself up."

Schubert took the coat and put it on, his expression eased a little, but the anger in his eyes did not diminish at all.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "That ignorant pariah, since he refuses to accept my toast, then we shouldn't give him face!"

Milton Lawrence nodded slightly and asked tentatively, "Master, what are you going to do?"

Schubert smiled coldly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Do you remember how our Lawrence family used to play with people's hearts? Although that pariah is brave, everyone has weaknesses. As long as we find his weakness and hold it firmly in our hands, we don't have to worry about him disobeying our orders!"

Milton Lawrence's heart moved, and he immediately understood Schubert's intention. He nodded and said, "I understand! But, that honorary knight is not easy to catch..."

Schubert thought about it and decided that if Ying was hard to catch, then he would settle for the next best thing!

With a head smaller than an almond, he took it for granted that Paimeng was Shao Yun's child...

"Then catch his daughter. That little thing floating in the air must be his daughter!"

Milton Lawrence was overjoyed and obeyed the order: "Yes! Master of the family. I will prepare it now."

Before Milton Lawrence left, Schubert reminded him, "After you succeed, don't forget to distribute the muskets we bought at a high price from Fontaine. Isn't that pariah relying on the guns in his hands? We have them too, so we are not afraid of him!"

Schubert thought that he could be on the same level as Shao Yun with a gun, but the sharpshooter suit would give the answer.

……

Under the bright and warm sunshine, Shao Yun came to the Cat's Tail Tavern.

He stood at the door, listening to the cat's meowing inside. He remembered that he used to fight the "Seven Summonings" here when he had nothing to do.

At this moment, Shao Yun was moved by the scene and sighed with regret, feeling secretly sorry in his heart.

There was no Texas Hold'em, blackjack, or dominoes in Teyvat, and even the heart-pounding game of Knife and Knife was nowhere to be found.

"Forget it, if I don't have it, then I don't have it. At worst, I can go find a treasure-stealing group to play with later!"

He pushed open the wooden door of the Cat's Tail Tavern, and a warm breath hit him.

The Cat's Tail Tavern is elegantly decorated with various cat climbing frames hanging on the walls.

Cats run around and play in it, or lie down and take a nap in the sun.

Several drinkers sat around the table, playing with cats in their hands, and bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

Shao Yun looked around, feeling the peaceful and warm atmosphere, and couldn't help but whispered: "Isn't this a cat cafe?"

He walked to the bar and his eyes were attracted by a little black cat.

This little black cat looks particularly cute wearing an exquisite little round hat and a beautiful bow tie around its neck.

This little black cat is the little prince. Life is really not easy. The cat is performing for money...

Shao Yun was so kind that he reached out his hand to touch the little black cat and said softly, "Hello, little kitty. Let me play with you for a while, take a rest!"

The little prince looked at Shao Yun approaching and his body began to tense up. His back arched and his hair exploded like static electricity, making him look extremely alert.

It widened its eyes and let out a low and threatening "meow!", warning Shao Yun not to come near!

Shao Yun looked at the angry little prince and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He stopped and said softly, "Good little cat, I have no ill intentions, I just wanted to come and see you."

I didn’t expect that I would be so unpopular with kittens. Is it because I didn’t wash the blood off my body?

However, the little prince obviously did not believe Shao Yun's words. He stretched out his claws, ready to attack Shao Yun.

Just then, a cat girl Loli ran over quickly. It was Diona!

Just now, she heard the little prince's cry, and immediately put down the cocktail glass in her hand and rushed to the bar anxiously.

Diona looked at the angry little prince, her eyes full of concern.

She gently held the little prince in her arms, stroked his fur tenderly, and asked softly: "Little prince, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"

The little prince gradually relaxed under Diona's comfort. He raised his head and looked at Shao Yun.

Diona also followed the little prince's gaze and looked at Shao Yun. She asked in confusion: "You are..."

Shao Yun took a deep breath and replied, "My name is Tacitus...Oh, no, my name is Shao Yun, and I mean no harm."

Hearing this, Diona introduced herself: "My name is Diona Katzlein, you can just call me Diona."

Then Diona gently stroked the little prince in her arms.

The little prince slowly calmed down, lying lazily in her arms, making a soft snoring sound.

She raised her head and looked at Shao Yun, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Did you bully the little prince?"

Shao Yun was somewhat puzzled by the question. He touched his chest and answered innocently, "I swear to God, I really didn't touch this little guy. Maybe I'm not popular with cats."

After hearing Shao Yun's answer, Diona's brows relaxed a little. She looked down at the little prince who had calmed down and muttered, "This is really strange..."

Then she carefully placed the little prince on a cat climbing frame in the distance so that he could play freely.

Then, she came to the bar, jumped onto the chair flexibly, supported herself on the bar with both hands, looked at Shao Yun, and asked calmly: "So, Mr. Shao Yun, what would you like to order?"

Shao Yun shook his head and replied, "No, thank you. Actually, I'm here to convey the news from the head of the Qin group. She asked me to inform you to be at the venue in front of the West Wind Cathedral before 8 o'clock tomorrow to serve as a judge. Miss Margaret should have told you about this, right?"

When Diona heard the news, a hint of displeasure flashed across her bright eyes. She sighed softly and said, "Oh, I see. Thank you, Mr. Shao Yun."

Shao Yun's gaze fell on Diona, whose face showed a bit of loneliness and confusion.

He was kind-hearted and asked gently, "From the look on your face, do you have any thoughts? Are you worried about delaying your work, or did you make plans to hang out with friends but were asked to go to work, and you're unhappy? If you don't want to go, I can help you refuse."

Diona looked at the kind Shao Yun and shook her head gently, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"No, I was just wondering why there is such a drinking festival? I... really don't like alcohol."

Shao Yun was slightly startled, and Diona hurriedly explained: "I know you may be wondering, since I hate wine so much, why do I choose to be a bartender. In fact, I have my reasons. I want to find a way to destroy Mond Wine Industry, so I decided to infiltrate the inside. However, no matter how hard I try, I can't make the kind of wine that is hard to swallow..."

Diona took a deep breath and continued, "The reason why I hate alcohol is because of my father. Whenever he gets drunk, he behaves in an ugly way, which makes me very angry and disappointed. So I hope that if possible, I can keep everyone away from this kind of thing that makes people lose their minds."

After listening to Diona's words, Shao Yun nodded and said, "Your idea is naive, but also very brave. So, have you decided to attend the drinking festival?"

Diona pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Well, I'm going! Maybe there, I can find some ingredients that can make the wine taste bad."

Shao Yun looked at Diona's determined eyes. Because he was in a good mood, he smiled and said, "I'm in a particularly good mood recently, so I decided to help you. I have something here that may be able to help you."

Diona's eyes lit up immediately and she asked excitedly, "Really? That's so kind of you! But I have to say first, I have tried a lot of strange things, such as frogs and butterfly wings."

Shao Yun waved his hand and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry, Diona. You will never be disappointed with what I give you."

After saying that, Shao Yun fumbled out a small item from the Eastern Legend backpack. It was an irregularly shaped object wrapped in layers of cloth.

He opened the package carefully, and an indescribable stench immediately spread out, like a strong mixture of rotten eggs and rotten leaves, which made people want to vomit.

Diona was almost unable to breathe due to the sudden stench.

She had just enjoyed a delicious breakfast half an hour ago, and the fresh fish was still lingering on her taste buds.

The sudden stench was like a heavy hammer, instantly shattering her beautiful memories.

She almost vomited out the fish, her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and she covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

"What stinks so much!" Diona's voice sounded a little shrill because she was holding her breath.

Shao Yun couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and explained, "This is the scent gland of a skunk. Don't underestimate it. Back then, a cook was careless and didn't clean the gland of a skunk properly, and put it directly into the pot. As you can imagine, the result was that the meal caused great harm to a group of people, and I almost beat the cook to death."

Hearing this, Diona felt that this was what she had been looking for, something that could destroy Mond Wine Industry!

She pinched her nose and carefully took the scent gland handed to her by Shao Yun. Although the smell was still strong, a hint of excitement appeared on her face.

"Great! With this thing, I can definitely make the most undrinkable wine in the world!" Diona was very happy. In her eyes, this thing was more valuable than Mora.

"I will be at the venue of the Wine Festival at 8 o'clock tomorrow, don't worry." Diona assured Shao Yun.

After that, Diona left in a hurry. She wanted to try what kind of wine this gland could make.

Shao Yun looked at her leaving back, shook his head, and reminded her softly: "Remember not to use the things I gave you to cause trouble at the Fine Wine Festival!"

Diona turned around, waved to Shao Yun, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Got it, I understand! I will defeat Mond Wine Industry fairly!"
