Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun stared at the figure of the Abyss Apostle "Riptide" as it climbed up the wall lightly and gradually disappeared from his sight, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself.

"This Abyss Apostle doesn't look that good. How could he be driven away so easily?"

Ying, who was standing nearby, heard Shao Yun's muttering, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she responded, "Maybe, it's just because you're too powerful."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun smiled slightly and skillfully put the two guns in his hands back into the holsters.

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

He turned to look at Ying and asked, "So, what are our plans next?"

Ying looked back at Wang Lang and said to Shao Yun, "I plan to go find Wang Lang to find out some things."

Shao Yun nodded in agreement.

Then, his eyes involuntarily fell on Lei Ze, and he said thoughtfully: "In this case, I will go meet this new friend."

There was a hint of anticipation in his tone, and he was obviously very interested in the young man Lei Ze.

After all, the previous wolf boy brought him two three-star wolf skins.

Ying followed Shao Yun's gaze and said, "Are you talking about Lei Ze?"

She also had a very good impression of Lei Ze.

"That's right. I think that guy is pretty good, let's get to know him." After saying that, Shao Yun took a step forward and walked towards Lei Ze.

Shao Yun came in front of Lei Ze with a warm smile on his face and extended his hand enthusiastically.

"Hello, Lei Ze, it's not appropriate to introduce myself in such an occasion. My name is Shao Yun, but I have many names, but you only need to remember this one."

Lei Ze seemed a little embarrassed. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently shook Shao Yun's hand, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Hello... Hello, my name is Lei Ze."

As their hands loosened, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.

Shao Yun started chatting with Lei Ze, and the topic naturally turned to hunting.

Shao Yun is passionate about this topic.

"You know what, Lei Ze? I love horseback hunting. If it's just to satisfy my appetite, I'm not particularly picky about the weapons I use."

"But when I need animal fur, I will become extra patient. Faced with different prey, I will choose suitable weapons according to their characteristics." Shao Yun's words revealed a deep understanding of the art of hunting.

Lei Ze listened to Shao Yun's story. Although his expression was a little intermittent, it could be seen that he also had his own insights on hunting.

"Lupica, hunt, together, I, like, traps."

Shao Yun nodded and began to share his unforgettable hunting experience.

"Once, I spent three days and three nights searching in the wild to get a perfect badger skin. It was a battle with nature and a test of my will. But when I saw that perfect badger skin, I knew it was all worth it. I still remember..."

Shao Yun described his hunting process in detail to Lei Ze, and Lei Ze was fascinated by it. He had never heard of such a persistent hunting story.

Seeing this, Shao Yun continued, "The most impressive time was when I was looking for a perfect mountain lion skin and was ambushed by it. I almost became its prey. But fortunately, my shooting skills were fast enough to allow me to escape from its claws."

Lei Ze couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He asked in confusion: "Lion? Why, hunting?"

Shao Yun patted the Eastern Legend backpack hanging on his waist and explained: "This is to make this backpack. The puma skin is needed."

In fact, wolf skin is also needed, but Shao Yun didn't tell him.

However, Lei Ze still seemed unable to understand Shao Yun's behavior. Isn't hunting for food?

He scratched his head and continued to ask, "Strange, the lion, Lupica, doesn't eat, doesn't threaten, doesn't care,"

Seeing this, Shao Yun smiled and waved his hand: "Lei Ze, it seems that our concepts are somewhat different. If you think this topic is a bit strange, then let's change to a lighter topic."

Shao Yun looked at the sky, thinking about a new topic.

He then turned the conversation to the unique relationship between Rezer and the wolf pack.

"Leize, can you talk to me? Why did you choose to live with the wolves? There must be an unusual story behind it."

When Lei Ze heard this, a gentle light flashed in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then answered Shao Yun in a plain tone.

"My Lupica is a wolf, and they are like family to me. Deep in the forest, we rely on each other and live together." His voice was full of deep affection for the wolves, a bond that transcends words.

Shao Yun followed Lei Ze's words and his eyes unconsciously drifted away into the distance.

Ying was communicating with Wang Lang, and Shao Yun was thinking secretly in his heart that after this brief reunion between Ying and Kong, Ying would embark on a long journey again. Although she would be accompanied by himself and Paimon, they were blood relatives after all.

Thinking of this, an impulse surged in his heart, and the thoughts he had at the beach came to his mind again.

He withdrew his gaze, turned to Lei Ze, and asked in an inquiring tone.

"Leize, suppose there is a brother and sister who are forced to separate due to some irresistible reasons. Later, fate gave them a chance to reunite, but the brother chose to leave for some complicated reasons. And the sister, she was looking forward to reuniting with her brother, but was rejected. How would you view this situation?"

Lei Ze was obviously stumped by this question. He frowned, unable to understand the deeper meaning of Shao Yun's words.

"I don't understand," he scratched his head, a hint of confusion in his tone.

"Lupica, do not abandon. Death, separation, understanding. Living, separation, can't figure it out."

Afterwards, Lei Ze tried to organize his thoughts and expressed his views in his simple and direct way.

"Lupica, the only, other, false"

When Shao Yun heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.

He found some resonance in Lei Ze's words, nodded and said, "I see, what you mean is that except for real family, everything else is bullshit."

Lei Ze nodded vigorously in agreement.

Shao Yun looked up at the vast sky, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

He sighed softly and said with emotion: "Raze, you are really like Dutch... Before he lost his mind, he was also a very great man, and he had a similar view on his family."

Lei Ze tilted his head curiously and asked, "Who?"

Shao Yun smiled and patted Lei Ze's shoulder, with a hint of relief in his tone.

"It's nothing special, I just thought of it suddenly. Thank you, Lei Ze, because your words gave me the courage to try. I decided to give it a try."

Lei Ze stood there with a puzzled look on his face. He stared into Shao Yun's eyes, which suddenly became enlightened, and his heart was full of doubts.

"I'll go take a look, Lupica. I'll leave first. Bye." After Lei Ze said this, he turned and left, leaving Shao Yun alone there.

As Lei Ze's figure gradually disappeared, the system's warning was like cold raindrops, mercilessly hitting Shao Yun's heart.

Please don't do this, it will cause serious consequences.

But Shao Yun had already made up his mind, and he looked at Ying.

"The purpose of Ying's journey is to find her brother. Lei Ze's words reminded me of Dutch when he was not crazy. Family is the only real existence, everything else is bullshit."

Shao Yun's voice then became firm and powerful, an oath to the system and also to himself.

"I will fulfill my promise and help Ying realize her wish, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead. This is the only chance."

The system's warnings became more urgent.

[Are you crazy? Once you do this, the entire Teyvat continent will turn into a red zone, and the Abyss Cult will hunt you down at all costs.]

"Yes, I may be crazy. But I can't tell who I am anymore. I just know that I can't give up like this. I have passed the life and death test in Blackwater Town, so what is this difficulty?" Shao Yun's words revealed an unquestionable firmness.

The system continues to try to dissuade.

[Perhaps, you are Arthur Morgan, but at this moment, you don’t have the brothers of the Van der Linde Gang fighting alongside you. ]

However, Shao Yun just shook his head slightly. He had the most precious thing in the world.

"I have Ying and Paimeng. A brave man is not afraid. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will move forward bravely." Shao Yun's words were sonorous and powerful. He had made up his mind.

The system was silent for a moment, and finally a piece of ancient text popped up.

[The wise are not confused, the benevolent are not worried, and the brave are not afraid - "The Analects of Confucius·Zi Han"]

This may be the system's final reminder to Shao Yun. You must not only be brave and fearless, but also do the first two.

Shao Yun was not shaken by this sentence. He looked at the system interface and issued a final ultimatum.

"I'm an idiot. Now, I need your help. In Mondstadt, I followed your guidance and followed the plot. But now, I want to change some things. I want to try to find a new path. I need your support."

The system seemed to be shocked by Shao Yun's determination, and it raised questions again.

【What if I refuse? 】

But Shao Yun just smiled faintly, and that smile showed both determination and confidence.

"Unless you force me to change my behavior like you did when I stole the Sky Harp, I will definitely do this!"

Shao Yun's words were powerful, declaring to the system his unshakable determination.

The system was silent for a long time, and finally, it could only pop up the final prompt helplessly, which seemed like a compromise.

【You will kill everyone. 】

"No one will die! You should help me think about whether I should open a ranch or grow mangoes with Ying, Kong, and Paimon."

……

At this moment, Ying's conversation with Wang Lang came to an end, and she obtained valuable information about the world's first tilling machine.

She turned gently, gave Shao Yun a smile, and then waved gracefully.

"Shao Yun, we have obtained the information. It's time to go."

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun quickly followed her steps and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

The three of them walked side by side and left the Wolf King Trial Field.

"We have obtained a crucial clue this time. We must inform Dyne of this information as soon as possible."

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly grabbed Ying's hand, stopping her steps abruptly.

Ying turned her head in surprise, her eyes full of confusion. She asked softly, "Shao Yun, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Shao Yun's gaze was fixed on Ying's bright yellow eyes.

Then, he reached out and gently adjusted the hat on Ying's head, his movements revealing an unspoken intimacy and trust. His voice was low and firm:

"Ying, I have a plan, and I need you to trust me,"

Ying was confused by Shao Yun's sudden seriousness. She blinked and asked in confusion, "Shao Yun, what are you talking about? What plan? I don't understand."

Seeing this, Shao Yun gently placed his hands on Ying's shoulders.

"Ying, don't ask so many questions. Now you just need to answer me one question. Do you believe me?"

Ying stared at Shao Yun's face. Although her heart was full of doubts and confusion, she still nodded vigorously.

"You...you're so weird, but I do believe you."

Hearing Ying's answer, Shao Yun's face blossomed into a bright smile. He patted Ying's shoulder, as if to cheer himself up, and also as if to pass on strength to Ying.

"That's good, Ying. My plan is indeed crazy, even unrealistic. But if it succeeds, it will be more magical than the Tahiti Project."

Ying looked at Shao Yun's slightly exaggerated expression and his inexplicable words, and her confusion grew even greater.

"Shao Yun, why are you suddenly so weird?"

Shao Yun smiled helplessly when he heard this. He gently stroked Ying's cheek and comforted her, "Maybe, I'm just a little...excited (crazy)."
