Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat
Chapter 208 Settling in the International Chamber of Commerce
Thomas paced outside the door of the Far Country Supervisory Office.
Just as he was filled with worries, Shao Yun appeared in his sight.
Shao Yun quickly took out three residence procedures from his backpack and showed them to Thomas.
"The paperwork is in hand, we have to leave quickly!"
Seeing this, Thomas mistakenly thought that Shao Yun had given in, so he sincerely suggested: "Shao Yun, why don't you wait a moment, I will go talk to Miss Baihehua and ask her to return the money to you."
You can't see her anymore. She should be racing on the Yellow Springs Expressway now.
Shao Yun held Thomas's hand tightly and dragged him out of the yard, explaining anxiously as they walked: "Don't worry about that. Time waits for no one. We must leave immediately!"
Thomas looked confused and couldn't help asking, "Why is that?"
Before he finished speaking, a cry of fear was heard behind them.
"on fire!"
This exclamation was like a bolt from the blue, making Shao Yun's face instantly solemn. It was a bit early to urbanize now.
He took Thomas's hand without hesitation, and the two of them ran out of the yard like an arrow.
"Run!"
While escaping from the Far Country Supervisor, Thomas finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
Shao Yun did not give in. Faced with the exploitation of the Yuanguo Supervisor, he simply overturned the table and set fire to the house!
This is too fierce! He burned down the house on his first day in Inazuma. What will happen in the future?
The Far Country Supervisory Office is a traditional Inazuma pure wooden building, which is far more flammable than the wood, stone, brick and tile structure of Liyue.
When they finally turned the corner safely, Shao Yun looked back and saw that the Yuanguo Supervisory Office had been engulfed in a sea of fire, with the raging flames devouring everything wantonly.
"Except Ying and Paimon, no one dares to be so arrogant and ask me for money. This is retribution!"
"Mr. Shao Yun, run away quickly!" Thomas was now completely convinced. What kind of evil star was this!
After Shao Yun and Thomas ran quickly for a distance, they finally stopped in a relatively secluded place.
Thomas looked around and confirmed that everything was safe. He then asked anxiously, "Shao Yun, what happened to you in the Yuanguo Supervisory Office?"
Shao Yun raised a smug smile and replied casually: "Oh, that fellow named 'Lily Hua' actually dared to ask me for 15 million Mora."
At this point, Shao Yun spat on the ground and continued, "Humph, how could I surrender so easily? So, after successfully obtaining the residency permit, I took decisive action. I killed her, robbed the money, set the house on fire, and cleaned up the scene thoroughly. Everything was that simple and clear."
When Thomas heard this, his face suddenly changed. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was deeply shocked by Shao Yun's ruthlessness.
He planned to write a bad review for "The Gunslinger from Fontaine" as soon as he got back. There was nothing true about that crappy book!
What about the protagonist in the book having to run away from the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain when facing the pursuit of the Knights Templar? That's so fake!
At this moment, Ying and Paimeng happened to pass by and saw Shao Yun and Thomas.
Ying walked forward curiously and asked, "Shao Yun, Thomas? Why are you here? I thought you were still in the Yuanguo Supervisory Office to handle the residency procedures."
Shao Yun smiled and took out three residence permits and showed them to Ying proudly.
"All the formalities have been completed. By the way, how are your affairs going? Is everything going well?"
Ying nodded slightly, then slowly stretched out her right hand, and a dazzling lightning flash of lightning element suddenly condensed in her palm.
After the presentation, Ying smiled and said, "I have finished my work, and everything went well."
Afterwards, Shao Yun handed the two residence permits to Ying and Paimeng in a leisurely manner. The two took the documents, folded them carefully, and put them away properly.
Then, Shao Yun patted Thomas, who was still in shock. He snapped his fingers again to attract his attention and asked, "So, what's our next step, Mr. Thomas?"
Thomas gradually came back to his senses from the shock he had just experienced when he heard this. He shook his head slightly and tried to cheer himself up.
"Ah, let me think...why don't we go to the International Chamber of Commerce?"
Shao Yun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Do we have to go to that broken place? Shao Yun didn't want to trigger any work for others!
"The International Chamber of Commerce?"
Thomas nodded and explained the organization to Shao Yun and others.
"Because of the lockdown and the exclusion of foreigners, foreign businessmen on the outlying islands can only stick together for warmth. The International Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce organized by foreign businessmen on the outlying islands."
"In addition to normal profits, we also regulate, organize, and assist foreign merchants in Inazuma to survive. I want to take you to meet these merchants and make friends..."
Shao Yun shook his head and interrupted Thomas before he could finish his words.
"Please allow me to interrupt, Mr. Thomas. We are not here to do business in Inazuma. Our goal is to meet General Raiden."
Hearing this, Thomas exclaimed in surprise: "So this is the reason why you came to Inazuma. Considering your status, it is indeed a grand goal."
However, Shao Yunke had no time to read it. Seeing that it was getting dark, he seemed a little anxious and urged: "Let's save these feelings for later, Mr. Thomas. The question now is, do you have any feasible way to help us achieve this goal?"
Thomas nodded in agreement immediately after hearing this. He said eagerly, "Yes, yes! However, this requires me to use all my resources and connections, but..."
Seeing that Thomas was hesitant to speak, Shao Yun frowned and said impatiently: "But what? Just tell me, if this is a necessary investment and worth it, I am willing to pay for it."
Thomas couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "Oh, don't worry. This... this thing called a connection often comes with a high price. It's not just an exchange of resources, but also a complex conflict of interests..."
Shao Yun looked at Thomas's slightly procrastinating appearance and interrupted his hesitation impatiently.
"Okay, stop beating around the bush and tell me directly, how much Mora does this deal cost?"
Thomas smiled broadly upon hearing this and waved his hand gently, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Hey, Mr. Shao Yun, why do we have to be so formal with each other? When we talk about Mora, it seems like we are strangers. How about this, you do me a favor, and in return..."
However, Shao Yun did not intend to let Thomas continue his "long-winded speech". He himself did not lack Mora, and he was even more unwilling to waste time and energy on some trivial matters of the original plot.
"I only asked you how much the deal cost. I'm not interested in knowing anything else!"
Seeing this, Thomas quickly put away his "soft policy", fearing that Shao Yun would really get angry and burn him.
He quickly changed his tone and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. Give me some time and I will give you a satisfactory answer. But before that, let me arrange accommodation and dinner for you."
This was a good change of topic. Shao Yun looked at the sky. It was about to get dark, but the three of them didn't even have a place to stay.
"Well, let's solve the accommodation problem first."
Paimon was listening to their conversation. She didn't expect that Thomas actually had a way to let them see Thor.
So, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Thomas, can you really take us to see the God of Thunder?"
Thomas nodded confidently, a smug smile on his face.
"Of course, I've been on the outlying islands for a long time, so it's not an exaggeration to call me a 'local tyrant'."
At this time, it was already late, and Shao Yun didn't want to waste any more time, so he urged Thomas, "Let's put aside the matter of meeting the Thunder God. Now, Mr. Local Snake, take us to a safe place to rest."
……
Thomas led Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng to the heart of the island's bustling commercial district.
Shao Yun's eyes fell on the gilded signboard of the Chamber of Commerce, and his brows slightly frowned. He questioned: "Aren't you going to arrange food and lodging? Why did you bring us to the International Chamber of Commerce?"
Thomas heard this and quickly explained with a smile: "Oh, I am a good friend of the president of the International Chamber of Commerce, Kurisu. I have been to the International Chamber of Commerce. The conditions there are very good, with many guest rooms. I can only feel at ease if I arrange you there. And I have to help you with the matter of 'connections', so... you know."
After hearing this, Shao Yun did not relax at all and asked cautiously, "Are you sure you are just arranging food and accommodation, and there is no other reason?"
Thomas waved his hands quickly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Please rest assured, Mr. Shao Yun, I am letting you stay at the International Chamber of Commerce temporarily just to solve your food and lodging problems, and I have no other intentions."
Only after getting Thomas's promise did Shao Yun feel relieved.
"In that case, thank you very much..."
……
At the door of the International Chamber of Commerce, stood a businessman wearing a Fontaine-style suit. He was the president of the International Chamber of Commerce, "Kurisu".
Now he is covering his head with his left hand, holding a new tax bill tightly in his right hand, frowning, sighing from time to time, and looking extremely depressed.
At this moment, Thomas came over with Shao Yun and others. Thomas greeted Jiulisu with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Kurisu!"
When Jiulisu heard the voice, he looked up and saw that it was Thomas. He quickly put the tax bill into his pocket and tried to force a smile.
"Oh, it's Mr. Thomas. What a coincidence. Hello..."
Then, Jiulixu's eyes fell on Shao Yun and others behind Thomas, and asked curiously: "Who are these three..."
Thomas smiled and introduced Kurisu, “These three are travelers from foreign countries.”
After hearing this, Kurisu's eyes showed a little more friendliness and concern.
He carefully looked at the attire of Shao Yun and the others, and asked with concern: "Hello, are you also here to seek the protection of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce? Did the Yuan Guo Supervisory Department make you bleed a lot of money?"
Shao Yun thought to himself, are you talking about the economic bleeding or the physical bleeding?
But Shao Yun was not stupid enough to say that he had burned down the Yuanguo Supervisory Office.
He smiled lightly, patted Thomas on the shoulder, and said half-jokingly: "Thanks to Mr. Thomas, I was able to escape unscathed without suffering any loss. Don't you agree, Mr. Thomas?"
Thomas was stunned by Shao Yun's sudden "praise", but then he reacted and nodded in agreement.
"Ah? Yes! That's right, this is what I should do."
