Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 25 Lisa's Afternoon Tea

Shao Yun didn't know when he fell asleep. He woke up because the sunlight coming in through the window was too dazzling. It woke him up.

"What time is it?"

I sat up from the bed and rubbed my sleepy eyelids. The room was too drab to even have a clock, and judging from the sunlight outside, it was probably getting late.

"System, what time is it now..."

Current time: 12:27.

Core health: 100%, time required for natural consumption: 120 hours.

Core stamina value: 100%, time required for natural consumption: 120 hours.

Core Death Eye: 100%, time required for natural consumption: 120 hours.

It’s okay, the numbers are good. As long as I don’t overdraw myself, with this number, I won’t feel hungry even if I don’t eat for three or four days.

Looking at the sun rising high in the sky outside and the time told by the system, I couldn't believe what time I fell asleep last night.

"Ah, it's already noon?" Shao Yun stretched lazily.

I felt very strange, why didn't anyone call me?

After putting on the sharpshooter suit and rubbing his shoulders, Shao Yun pushed open the door with doubts.

Amber's house is now empty, with no one else in it except herself.

"anyone there?"

The voice echoed in the empty house, which seemed a little empty and lonely. However, the only response he got was silence, as if no one was home.

When I came to the living room on the first floor, I saw the food on the dining table at a glance.

When I got closer, I saw three notes in total, signed by Amber, Paimon, and Ying.

Pick them up and read them one by one to see what message they left for you.

"Shao Yun, I went to call you this morning, but you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't. Thank you for the ice hook juice yesterday. Although it's not easy to fall asleep after drinking it, thank you for your gift. I saved breakfast for you, remember to eat it. - Amber."

"Hehe, Shao Yun, this morning, Paimon spent a lot of effort, under the guidance of Ying, to make a delicious grilled steak. Seeing that you were still sleeping, I was very angry (#`д′)?, but considering the drink you had yesterday, I won't bother with you. You must enjoy the food I prepared for you. - The best tour guide in Teyvat."

"Shao Yun, Paimeng and I are going to go out for a walk. Amber told me that the Adventurer's Association is actively recruiting new members recently. We plan to go there and take a look. Remember not to forget what you have to do tonight. - Ying."

Wow, looking at the expression in Paimeng’s painting, Shao Yun could imagine Paimeng’s angry expression at that time.

When the lid was removed, three plates were placed on the table.

A serving of Teyvat omelette, a serving of carrot and vegetable soup, and a serving of slightly charred grilled steak.

The first two were obviously Amber's work, and they were normal, but the grilled steak at the back was of strange quality.

Looking at the grilled steak of strange quality, Shao Yun suspected that he would be poisoned if he ate it.

Although I don't need to eat now, it is the gift from Amber and Paimon after all, and I would be disrespectful to them if I don't eat.

He ate the already cold Teyvat fried egg and radish and vegetable soup in two or three bites, and finally looked at the strange grilled steak with a complicated expression.

Although it looks a little burnt, at least it is cooked and edible.

Shao Yun made up his mind and just drank a bottle of healing medicine!

My teeth tore into the grilled steak as if I were chewing stone, and my taste buds were protesting against me eating such a strange thing.

After eating, Shao Yun felt sick and sweat started to form on his forehead. His comment was that it was burnt, the meat was very hard, and there was not enough salt and it had no taste.

Sitting at the dining table, suppressing the discomfort in my stomach, I began to think about what to do next.

Looking for Ying? No, she went to the Adventurer's Association to apply for an adventurer early in the morning and is now completing the Adventurer's Association's commission.

Besides, Mondstadt is so big, where can I find her?

Current mission: Wait for Angel's Gift to close.

Tip: You have free time at this time.

Current task recommendation: Lisa's afternoon tea at 2:30 pm.

Oh, Lisa's afternoon tea? Yes, I remember she was going to invite me to have afternoon tea. If I calculated the time, it would be more than enough to get from Amber's house to the Knights' headquarters.

Shao Yun left Amber's house. The midday sun shone on his body, and he felt warm and comfortable.

Walking on the streets of Mond, people come and go, each busy with their own affairs.

Compared to the night, Mondstadt is really prosperous during the day.

Bards sang various poems on the streets, and children chased and played various games on the streets.

The commercial street leading from the city gate is the most prosperous in Mondstadt, but that doesn't mean it's the only place with business.

There are also some small commercial activities in each residential area, such as street vendors, smaller shops, and restaurants.

The Deer Hunter and Mond Department Store alone cannot meet the dining and daily needs of the people of Mond.

When they arrived at the Knights Templar, the knight at the door looked at Shao Yun. With Kaeya's explanation from last time, the guard at the door didn't say anything and let him in directly.

He walked to the door of the Knights' Library with ease and pushed it open.

At this time, Lisa was carefully preparing afternoon tea at her seat. The sunlight shone through the window onto her busy figure, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Her face was filled with an expectant smile, as if she was expecting something wonderful to happen.

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly appeared at the door, wearing a sharpshooter suit, looking both capable and majestic.

Lisa heard the voice, turned around and saw Shao Yun coming, with a look of surprise on her face, but it was soon replaced by joy. She put down the tea set in her hand, stood up, and greeted Shao Yun warmly.

"Wow, a tall and handsome gentleman is here again?" Lisa's voice was full of surprise and curiosity. "Your dress is nice, it looks like it has the power to attract girls. Did you spray some potion that can arouse girls' interest?"

Shao Yun smiled and looked in front of Lisa. He looked around and saw no one else. Then he looked at Lisa and joked, "With my own strength, I will attract the attention of girls with taste."

"Oh, thanks for the compliment. You are so good at talking." Lisa responded with a smile.

"Let's get back to the point. Yesterday you said you wanted to treat me to afternoon tea, so I came over to see you. I didn't expect you to actually prepare it. What a coincidence. Did you predict that I would come back?"

After hearing this, Lisa turned sideways and showed Shao Yun the carefully decorated place with a slightly proud look in her eyes.

"Yes, I'm just preparing afternoon tea. Since you're here, let's try it together." Lisa said, leading him to his seat and bringing the freshly brewed tea and snacks to Shao Yun.

"Please taste it."

Shao Yun also made a gesture to invite Lisa to sit down.

"You too please."

The two of them sat around the coffee table, enjoying the delicious afternoon tea.

Shao Yunduan picked up the white porcelain cup with a purple rose pattern on it, looked at the brown-red tea inside, blew on it, and drank it all in one gulp as if it was water.

Suddenly I felt a very bitter taste, not the bitterness of medicine, but the bitterness of tea leaves that goes straight to my head and lingers for a long time.

Lisa watched him tasting her most proud black tea and asked, "How is it?"

He closed his eyes, slowed down, bared his teeth, and gave his own evaluation.

"I don't know much about tea, but, I feel like, can you give me two sugars?"

After saying that, he handed the teacup to Lisa.

"No, this isn't coffee. Adding sugar will ruin the taste."

He directly rejected Shao Yun's request and poured him some more tea with the teapot.

"Taste it carefully." After saying that, he demonstrated it to Shao Yun. He took a sip in his mouth, waited for the aroma of the tea to come out, and then swallowed it.

Shao Yun followed Lisa's movements and the bitterness was indeed diluted by the aroma of tea.

“It tastes really good this way.”

After listening to this, Lisa put down the teacup in her hand and gave Shao Yun a lot of knowledge about Liyue tea drinking.

"Tea cannot be drunk like wine or water. The tea culture of neighboring Liyue says that tea must be tasted. Tasting tea, tasting tea, all depends on the word tasting..."

He said a lot of profound things, which made Shao Yun confused.

"You're talking too profound. I don't know much about tea, but I have eaten matcha-flavored cakes."

Speaking of cakes, Lisa remembered something: drinking tea without eating anything is not afternoon tea.

Push a piece of purple cake in front of Shao Yun and ask him to comment on it.

"Speaking of cake, come and try some. I made it myself. The raw material is hook fruit."

Shao Yun picked up the small cake and smelled it carefully. The cake exuded a faint milky and sweet aroma, and the surface was dotted with a few purple hook fruit pulps.

Put it in your mouth. The sweet taste spreads in your mouth immediately. The cake has moderate sweetness, delicate taste, sweet but not greasy.

"Mm! The cake is delicious."

We chatted while drinking tea and eating cakes, mainly listening to Lisa introduce various interesting places in Mondstadt and her own student days.

Before they knew it, they had finished their tea and the cakes, but their conversation did not end there, but became more in-depth.

"Your past is very interesting, Miss Lisa. It's a pity that I haven't read much and don't know some of the technical terms."

It was very interesting to listen to Lisa talking with relish about her time as a student at the Sumeru Academy.

But all good things must come to an end, and it’s time to go.

Shao Yun stood up and patted the wrinkles on his clothes.

"Thank you for the afternoon tea, but I think all good things must come to an end. Thank you for your hospitality. I'm leaving now."

Seeing Shao Yun was about to leave, Lisa calmly tried to keep him.

"Don't be anxious, Shao Yun. It's not night yet. Aren't you supposed to gather after Angel's Gift closes?"
