Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

I don’t know if it’s the custom of the Inazuma people, but the Inazuma people like to leave people out for three days.

On the morning of the second day after leaving Ming Shen Taisha, Ying and Paimeng went out for adventure at dawn, which made Shao Yun very upset. He was about to get sick from being idle, so he decided to go to the reception desk of the Adventurer's Association to have some fun.

He came to the Adventurer's Association reception alone and chatted with the receptionist Catherine.

Shao Yun and Catherine had a great time chatting throughout the morning, talking about everything from the customs and culture of Inazuma to the interesting things about the Adventurers' Association.

However, by noon, Catherine seemed to regret it a little. Shao Yun was too talkative and had no intention of stopping.

While taking out two commissions from the drawer, she said to Shao Yun, "Mr. Tacitus Kilgore, how do you think about this? I have two very good commissions here, you may wish to consider them."

Shao Yun looked at the two orders Catherine handed over and said with some dissatisfaction: "Ah, I just wanted to chat with you, and it's only for a short while. You shouldn't dislike me so much, right?"

Catherine thought to herself, you've been talking to me all morning, this isn't just a moment! Am I not doing anything else?

But she still kept smiling and explained: "You misunderstood. My duty is to provide all kinds of help to the adventurers so that everyone can carry out the adventure smoothly..."

"Besides, instead of spending time here chatting, why not take the opportunity to earn some Mora? Both of these commissions are very interesting, you will definitely like them."

Shao Yun heard that he could make money and kill time, and it was also very interesting. He nodded and said, "Okay, what are the contents of these two commissions?"

Catherine looked down at the two commissions in her hand and explained, "The first commission comes from the novelist Shunji of Yaedo. He hopes to find a foreigner who is good at using the Fontaine gun."

"As for the other commission, the client is 'Arotaki Sumo Demon King Ichito' from Hanamizaka. He needs a few spectators to cheer him on to increase the atmosphere of the competition."

Arataki Sumo Demon King Ichito? This title is so funny and very Ichito-like.

But wait, why does that Shunji sound so familiar? Is that the guy who wrote "Onimudō"? Why are you looking for a foreigner who can use a Fontaine gun?

Shao Yun pointed at Shunji's order and asked Catherine a question.

"Wait, I have a question. Isn't that guy named Shunji the one who wrote 'Onimudō'?"

Is he randomly adding new settings again, making the protagonist suddenly use the Fontaine rifle?

A scene emerged in Shao Yun's mind. It was the protagonist of "Ghost Martial Arts" suddenly pulling out a gun from his waist during a fierce battle. This sudden change made him feel both funny and interesting.

This reminded Shao Yun of the legendary swordsman, Krehe... Ugh! No, it was Isshin Ashina's Ashina swordsmanship!

The protagonist of Onimushi was fighting with the enemy when he suddenly pulled out a gun and shouted, "Sir, times have changed!" That was so funny!

After hearing Shao Yun's question, Catherine nodded slightly and explained: "Yes, Mr. Shunji is indeed the author of 'Ghost Martial Arts'. However, that book has not been updated for a long time. I heard that it has been discontinued."

"Right now, he's working on a piece called 'The Gunslinger from Fontaine.'"

When Shao Yun heard the title of the book, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "Wait, are you saying that he also wrote that book?"

The great prophet is actually right next to us?

Catherine nodded again and explained in detail to Shao Yun: "That's right. When the first volume of 'The Gunslinger from Fontaine' was published, it caused a huge sensation in the entire Inazuma City."

"Then, the publication of the second volume caused sales to soar, even surpassing the then-popular 'Swordsman's Chronicle' and becoming the best-selling light novel in Inazuma Castle. Mr. Shunji was awarded a generous reward of one million Mora by Yaedo."

At this point, Catherine changed the subject and said regretfully, "However, the third volume of this book has not been released yet, which makes the readers who have been waiting for a long time feel a little dissatisfied."

"Yesterday, Mr. Shunji looked very haggard and left me a commission. It was an expedited commission."

After listening to it, Shao Yun felt it was unbelievable. In his opinion, the book was too fake.

Only the Knights of Favonius can chase me to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain? It's too fake, how can it be so popular? I can only say that reality is more magical than fiction.

Shao Yun licked his lips gently and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Oh, okay, then how much are the rewards for these two commissions?"

Catherine carefully examined the two commissions in her hand, and then explained in detail: "Regarding Shunji's commission fee, he did not specify it clearly, but only said that he would have to have a face-to-face meeting; as for Aratake Ichito's commission fee, he provided a coupon for Fox Ramen."

Shao Yun was a little surprised when he heard this answer. A coupon for Fox Ramen? This was too stingy.

However, considering that this commission only requires being a spectator, the remuneration is reasonable.

However, Shao Yun was not short of the money, so he took Shunji's order.

"Well, I'll go meet the great prophecy novelist 'Shunkichi' first. As for Aratake Ichito's request, it depends on my mood."

After hearing Shao Yun's answer, Catherine put away Ara Taki Ichito's commission and said, "Leave the commission with me first. If you want to do this commission in the future, come to me to pick it up. As for Shunji, I remember he should be at Yaedo."

Shao Yun collected the order and said politely to Catherine: "Okay, thank you for your reminder."

……

In front of the Yaedo gate on Hanazakazaka, the novelist "Shunkichi" with dark circles under his eyes was standing there with his head lowered, facing the scolding of his editor-in-chief "Amao".

A-Mao waved the manuscript handed in by Shunji angrily and scolded loudly.

"Shunji, take a look at what you wrote for the first chapter of the third volume. The protagonist committed a heinous crime in Liyue, was brought to an outlying island in a sedan chair carried by sixteen people, was invited to the castle tower, and was welcomed by the general. If this is published, the letters scolding you will flood Yaedou!"

Shunji lowered his head, like a child who got zero points on the test and was being scolded by his parents.

When Ah Mao was tired of scolding, Shunji said timidly: "Mr. Editor, I am also anxious! But now I have no new ideas! I referred to the style of the company that day, and I wanted to reduce the number of words."

When Ah Mao heard Shunji's idea, he was so angry that he pulled his hair and took several deep breaths before he suppressed his anger.

"This book is very popular. Don't destroy your reputation like Onimudō did! If you continue like this, your fans will protest in front of Yaedō!"

Shunji said with shame: "I have already issued a commission to find a foreigner who can use a gun. As long as I find him, I will have..."

Before he could finish, Ah Mao clapped his hands vigorously and said angrily, "What's the point of finding a foreigner who can use a rifle? I did say that your description of the protagonist's use of the rifle was sloppy, but now we want a good story that satisfies the readers! A good plot!"

Shunji covered his face with his hands, his expression was very painful. He said helplessly: "I really have no choice. The island has been blocked these days, and I don't know what happened in foreign countries! Those foreigners who can use guns must have some unknown stories, otherwise I would not have issued that commission yesterday!"

Shunji was in despair, as he had been trapped in a situation from which he could not escape.

Seeing Shunji's painful expression, Ah Mao sighed helplessly and said, "I didn't mean to scold you. But you also know that there are too few foreigners on Ming Shen Island, and there are those who can use guns..."

Before Ah Mao finished speaking, he suddenly made up his mind and decided to give Shunji an idea. He continued, "Hey, why don't you use the destruction of the outlying island as a prototype and write a story in which the protagonist comes to Inazuma."

"Because the protagonist is a foreigner, he is discriminated against by the Kanjo Bugyo, so he goes on a killing spree and indirectly helps the merchants on the outlying islands. With the help of the merchants, he escapes from the outlying islands and comes to Narukami Island..."

When Shunji heard this idea, he said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Editor, I'm afraid that after I finish writing, someone from the Tenryobuhang will knock on my door!"

Shunji could already imagine the Tenryo Bugyo shouting outside his door, "Open the door! Tenryo Bugyo!"

Readers are satisfied with this plot. What if the people of Tianling Fengxing cause trouble for them?

Upon hearing this, Ah Mao was so angry that he threw the manuscript to the ground and angrily cursed: "This is not okay, that is not okay, the manuscript is due in a few days! You might as well just stop writing!"

A Mao's voice was full of helplessness and anger, and he was extremely disappointed with Shunji's attitude.

Just as A-mao was about to give Shunji another refreshing "oral gymnastics", Shao Yun came over with a commission form.

He looked at the two people who were talking and asked politely, "Hello, which one is Mr. Shunji?"

Shunji originally thought that Shao Yun was a crazy book fan who came to send razor blades to "realize" himself, so he did not immediately admit his identity. Instead, he carefully looked at Shao Yun and asked cautiously: "Hello, what can I do for you, Shunji?"

Shao Yun gently waved the commission in his hand in front of Shunji and explained: "I accepted his commission, so..."

When Shunji saw that it was the "great savior" who had accepted his commission, he was so excited that he could not control himself, and held Shao Yun's hand tightly, saying eagerly, "I am! I am! Can you use a gun rifle?"

Shao Yun looked at Shunji, who had an extremely intense reaction, nodded, and replied, "Yes, I understand a little bit."

At least not as well as Landon Ricketts.

Shunji was so excited when he heard this that he could not control himself. He hugged Shao Yun tightly, tears of joy flashing in his eyes, and shouted excitedly: "You are my savior!"

Ah Mao looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but muttered: "Damn, there really are foreigners on Narukami Island who can use guns!"

Shao Yun forcefully pushed away Shunji, who was so excited that he was almost out of control, and said in a calm and firm tone: "Don't get so excited first, tell me what happened!"

Shunji wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then began to explain to Shao Yun.

"Here's the thing. I'm the author of the highly anticipated light novel 'The Gunslinger from Fontaine'. Now, I've encountered a huge creative bottleneck and I'm in urgent need of some new inspiration to break through this dilemma."

Shao Yun nodded seriously and continued to ask: "Oh, then what do you need me to do?"

Shunji seemed a little nervous. He pursed his lips, then pointed in the direction of the outside of Inazuma Castle and said, "How about this, let's go to the suburbs first. I want to observe your movements when you shoot, so that I can polish my writing."

Shao Yun stretched out his hand, made a "please" gesture, and said politely: "Then lead the way."

Just as Shao Yun was about to follow Shunji to leave, Ah Mao suddenly shouted, "Shunji, come on! You have to hand in your manuscript the day after tomorrow!"

Shunji turned around, waved to Ah Mao, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely submit the manuscript on time!"
