Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

The day before he had agreed to meet with Yae Shinto in front of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue, Shao Yun once again came to the reception desk of the Adventurer's Association early in the morning.

As usual, he wasted time chatting with the receptionist, Catherine. They chatted all morning and the topics were never the same.

At noon, Catherine couldn't stand it anymore. Her ears were about to get callused!

Even though she is a puppet that can work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

But she couldn't bear such "torture". Her CPU had been running at high intensity for the whole morning. If it continued like this, it would probably be scrapped.

So, she quickly took out a few delivery orders from the drawer and said to Shao Yun, "Mr. Tacitus, I have a few delivery orders here. The remuneration is not bad. Take a look..."

Shao Yun waved his hands in boredom and complained, "It's boring. I won't go. Can't you just chat with me for a while? Ying took Paimeng to Talingsha to play today. I'm really bored staying in Inazuma City."

"How come you don't have any entertainment at all in Inazuma? There's only a hot spring pool, and there's not even a place to listen to Rakugo like the storytelling stand of Liyue Tian Tiezui. It's really boring!"

Catherine felt a little helpless. Due to the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order, the overall atmosphere in Inazuma was not very good, and entertainment activities were indeed not as frequent as before.

But if we talk about entertainment, there is indeed a similar commission.

So, she quickly took out the commission form from Aramaki Ito two days ago and said to Shao Yun, "How about you take over Mr. Aramaki Ito's commission?"

"It's the commission from two days ago. You accepted the commission from Mr. Shunji at that time. This commission is still with me and has not been taken away by anyone."

Shao Yun took the commission, looked it over carefully, and then asked, "What kind of competition is he holding? Even if it's a ramen competition, he wouldn't need to find an audience to watch it."

Catherine shook her head and replied, "I don't know, but he increased the reward this time and turned it into three coupons for Fox Ramen."

After listening to Catherine's description, Shao Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this reward was really full of the style of Araki Ichito.

I'm very poor, but I have plenty of coupons!

Thinking that he was currently in a state of boredom, and not knowing what to buy for Ying and Paimeng tonight, Shao Yun decided to go there just to kill some time.

So, Shao Yun put away the order and said to Catherine, "Okay, I'll go over there to kill some time and won't bother you anymore."

Seeing this, Catherine secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this boring man was finally leaving.

Despite this, she still kept a polite smile on her face and said to Shao Yun, "Mr. Aratake Ichito should be at the Naganohara Fireworks Shop in Hanazaka now."

Shao Yun nodded, indicating that he understood what Catherine said, then waved his hand and said easily: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

So he took a step forward and walked towards Hanazaka.

……

At noon, the sun penetrated the sparse clouds and fell on an old fireworks shop on Hanazaka.

The appearance of the shop is simple and elegant, and the wooden sign is engraved with traces of time. Although the handwriting is a little blurred, the words "Naganohara Fireworks Shop" can still be recognized.

On both sides of the store entrance, there are various kinds of fireworks displayed, ranging from gorgeous firework shells to small fairy wands.

A young ghost with red ghost horns, long silver-white hair and a strong physique is talking to a lively girl with her hair tied in a goldfish tail style and clothes with fireworks and goldfish patterns painted on them.

The two are Ichito Arata and Yoshomiya.

Xiao Gong smiled and handed Ara Taki Ito a carefully packed bag of fireworks, and said cheerfully: "Mr. Ito, these are the fireworks you ordered earlier."

Aratake Ichito took the pack of fireworks, a big smile on his face, and responded gratefully.

"Hahaha, thank you Miss Xiaogong, only your fireworks are truly worthy of this master's victory celebration!"

Xiao Gong smiled politely, waved his hand, and said softly: "Well, Mr. Ichito, I wish you good luck and give my regards to Mamoru, Akira, Genta, and Miss Shinobu."

Arata Ichito was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly and enthusiastically invited Xiao Gong to be the audience.

"By the way, Miss Xiao Gong, do you really not want to witness with your own eyes how I defeat the 'Nine Tortoises' and take back my God's Eye?"

After listening to this, Xiao Gong seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said hesitantly: "This... If it's a bug fighting competition, of course I want to go, but this competition you want to hold... This..."

Araki Ichito felt a little disappointed when he saw Xiao Gong's tactful refusal.

"Ah... I didn't expect that after all these days, no one would be willing to watch a free performance. Is Inazuma having any other performances recently?"

Xiao Gong touched his chin, thought for a moment, and was about to say something.

At this moment, Shao Yun walked to the front of the Naganohara Fireworks Store with the order form. Seeing the two people talking, he politely asked, "Hello, may I bother you for a moment?"

When Xiao Gong saw Shao Yun appear at the door of Naganohara Fireworks Shop, he mistakenly thought that this customer was here to buy fireworks.

So she stepped forward enthusiastically and greeted him warmly: "Hello, welcome to Naganohara Fireworks Store! Would you like to pick out some fireworks?"

When Shao Yun heard this, he smiled politely, shook his head slightly, took out the order form and explained.

"No, I'm not here to buy fireworks. In fact, I'm here to be a spectator, commissioned by Mr. Aratake Ichito."

When Arata Ichito heard that Shao Yun had accepted his commission, he immediately laughed heartily and said loudly, "Oh! Hahaha, this friend really has a good eye! The Arata Gokai Sumo Tournament will open today! You came at the right time!"

When Shao Yun heard the word "sumo", he was stunned for a moment, coughed twice in shock, and then asked in confusion: "Ahem! What? Sumo?"

Shao Yun's mind flashed with the image of two fat men standing on the stage, pushing each other or knocking each other down.

Arata Ichito looked at Shao Yun seriously, nodded, and answered affirmatively: "Yes, I want to have a sumo match with the Nine Tengu of the Tenryo, in order to win back my God's Eye!"

Shao Yun blinked, then turned his gaze to Xiao Palace and said very seriously: "Actually, I'm not here to be a spectator, I'm here to buy fireworks!"

Arata Ichito was very puzzled when he saw Shao Yun turned his head away and didn't want to be a spectator. He asked in confusion: "Hey! My dear, what's wrong with you? Why do you react exactly the same as others? Do you hate sumo matches so much?"

When Shao Yun and Xiao Gong heard this, the corners of their mouths rose at the same time in embarrassment.

I wouldn't say I hate you, but you chose your competitor too boldly.

Shao Yun turned around and looked at Arata Ichito carefully, then asked with a hint of doubt: "Are you really going to have a sumo match with Kujo Sara? Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

Aratake Ichito pondered for a while, then nodded firmly, confirming that what he had just said was correct.

He pounded his chest muscles and said confidently, "Yes, I want to compete with her in sumo wrestling. That Tengu can't fight insects, so I will compete with her in sumo wrestling. I won't take advantage of her. I want to win back my own Eye of God in a fair and square way!"

If she really agrees to you, you will get a huge advantage!

After listening to what Huang Long Yidou said, Shao Yun couldn't help but whispered: "It's really 'bright'..."

Huang Long Yidou didn't hear Shao Yun's words clearly, and asked quickly: "My dear, what were you talking about just now?"

Shao Yun shook his head slightly and did not respond to him.

But considering the respectful title that Arawaki Ichito gave him, Shao Yun felt it necessary to have a good chat with him.

So he asked, "Mr. Ichito, do you know anything about sumo?"

Arata Ichito nodded without hesitation, a confident smile on his face, and answered loudly: "Of course I know! I often play with Mamoru, Akira, and Genta."

Shao Yun nodded expressionlessly, and then asked, "So, do you know that sumo wrestling requires bare-chested?"

After hearing this, Arata Ichito shook his head and said frankly: "I don't know."

Shao Yun didn't hear clearly for a moment and mistakenly thought that he knew, so he continued: "Then you know everything..."

Suddenly, he came to his senses, widened his eyes in shock, and stared at Arata Ichito. What he just said was that he didn't know!

"Wait, you don't know?" Shao Yun looked at Arata Ichito in disbelief. "We are talking about sumo!"

Aratake Ichito looked confused and scratched his head. He asked in confusion, "Isn't sumo a wrestling contest of strength? You grab the opponent's clothes and throw him to the ground. How can you grab the opponent's clothes when you are shirtless?"

This is judo or wrestling, it doesn't sound like sumo, right? Are you confusing the two?

If these words came from someone else, Shao Yun would still have doubts, wondering if that person was pretending.

But coming from Yidou's mouth, it means he really doesn't know, as it's something he is not capable of doing.

After hearing what Arata Ichito said, Xiao Gong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "So you want to have a wrestling match with Master Kujo. This is indeed much better than before. However, I have something else to do here, so I really can't get away..."

Xiao Gong muttered in his heart: "I'm sorry, Yidou, if you wrestle with someone else, I might go and watch, but if you wrestle with Kujo Sarobi, I really can't get over it."

Shao Yun was listening at the side, feeling somewhat emotional.

He felt that mixed wrestling was acceptable, but mixed sumo was too much of an eyesore.

"If it's a wrestling match, I have nothing to say, let's just go." After saying that, he nodded relaxedly to show his agreement.

Aratake Ichito looked at the two of them looking relieved, and he was filled with curiosity. He couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference between sumo and wrestling? Why do people feel relieved when they change the word?"

There is a huge difference, one wears more and the other wears very little!

Xiao Gong suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, he looked at Shao Yun and asked enthusiastically: "By the way, sir, do you want to buy some fireworks? The fireworks in our store are very good!"

Shao Yun scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and replied: "Sorry, it was just because..."

At this point, Shao Yun winked at Xiao Gong, looked at Huang Long Yidou, and then said: "Actually, I don't need to buy fireworks."

Xiao Gong immediately understood what he meant, waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Gong, the current owner of 'Naganohara Fireworks Shop'. Are you Mr. Shao Yun?"

Shao Yun was stunned and secretly surprised. How did she know him?

But he quickly realized what was happening and shook his head to deny it: "No, my name is not Shao Yun, but 'Tacitus Kilgore'."

Xiao Gong showed a trace of apology, and quickly apologized, "Really? Sorry, I heard Ying and Paimon say before that one of their traveling companions looked a lot like you, so I thought you were Mr. Shao Yun. It seems that I made a mistake."

Shao Yun suddenly realized that Xiao Gong had learned about himself from Ying and Paimeng.

He breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a smile: "Oh, so that's how it is... I am indeed Ying and Paimon's travel companion, but I'd like to trouble you to call me 'Tacitus'. The situation here is a bit complicated and I can't explain it in a short time."

Xiao Gong nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "Oh, okay, Mr. Tacitus. By the way, Ying and Paimon helped me a lot yesterday. Thank you so much."

When Shao Yun heard this, he thought that it seemed that Ying and Paimeng had completed the legendary quest of Xiao Palace. I didn't expect that the main line was changed by me. They could still meet her. It was really strange...

But on second thought, the legendary mission seemed to be known through Inazuma's child, so there is nothing wrong with taking it out separately.

After all, the girl Xiao Gong is very enthusiastic, and it is normal for Ying and Paimon to get familiar with her, and there is no harm in it.

Shao Yun smiled politely and said sincerely: "I will definitely pass on your gratitude to them."

Then, Xiao Gong took out an exquisite firework tube from behind, handed it to Shao Yun, and said happily: "By the way, this firework tube is for you. After lighting this firework, the shape of the fireworks will be the shape of Ying and Paimeng. I made it specially for you!"

"I've been wondering how I can get it into your hands, and now I can finally fulfill my wish!"

After saying that, she carefully placed the firework tube in Shao Yun's hand.

Shao Yun took the firework tube and looked at it carefully. The surface of the firework tube was painted with brilliant colors, and there were firework patterns of red, blue, green and purple intertwined together. There was also Xiao Gong's autograph at the bottom.

Then, Xiao Gong took out another note, handed it to Shao Yun, and reminded him: "Also, you must keep this note well. If you want me to make the same style of fireworks in the future, just come to me with this note."

At this time, the system pops up two prompt messages.

[You have obtained a firework specially customized for Xiao Palace*1 (this is a unique item)]

[You received a note from the Naganohara Fireworks Shop (this is a one-of-a-kind item)].
