Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After Boadicea calmed down, the two set out on the road to the Layered Abyss.

While riding on the road, Shao Yun asked Ye Lan, who was riding beside him and moving forward at the same pace, "Can we talk about the reward now? What have you prepared for me?"

Ye Lan held the reins tightly, and as she hurried on, she turned to Shao Yun and said, "Do you know the Yanshang Teahouse?"

Shao Yun nodded, indicating that he knew the place.

It was a place with two guards at the door and a receptionist named "Chu Yi".

"I know, what's wrong?"

After hearing Shao Yun's answer, Ye Lan continued to tell the story about the Yanshang Tea House in detail.

"It used to be a gambling house, and the previous owner of the teahouse had some debt problems."

"I wanted to deal with it myself, but the Fatui executive officer 'Young Master', who you killed, got there first and dealt with the previous boss, so it became the Fatui's territory."

"After that, Liyue survived the crisis brought by the Whirlpool Demon. The Fatui who originally occupied the Rock Tea House were purged. Taking this opportunity, I took over the Rock Tea House and transformed it into a secret office."

However, Shao Yun was not interested in these background stories, he just wanted to know his reward.

He interrupted Ye Lan impatiently and complained: "You've been talking so much nonsense, can you just tell me the point, that is, what is my reward?"

Ye Lan heard Shao Yun's impatience and quickly got to the point, talking about the reward.

She knew Shao Yun was very interested in making money, so she got straight to the point.

"Although it has become my intelligence station, the business is still going on. If some guests want to go to the private rooms, they must become members."

"The tea room provides precious tea from Qiaoying Manor, so you know, there are dividends."

When Shao Yun heard about dividends, he immediately became interested.

"So how much can I earn from this dividend?"

Ye Lan thought about it and answered truthfully: "One month. If the market is good, I estimate that you can get at least six figures."

When Shao Yun heard the six or seven-digit Mora, he counted on his fingers. After a careful count, it was only a few hundred thousand Mora, and he immediately lost interest.

"What? So little? I suddenly don't want to do this anymore."

Shao Yun complained, and then he began to slow down his horse riding speed, as if he was going back.

Ye Lan became anxious when she saw Shao Yun was about to back out.

After all, he had already purchased the necessary ingredients and completed all the procedures on his side.

If Shao Yun regrets now, it would be a waste of time!

Ye Lan shouted quickly, "Wait a minute! I haven't finished yet! In addition to sharing the profits from the business with you, I will also give you intelligence!"

When Shao Yun heard that Ye Lan would provide information, he immediately became alert.

“Can you elaborate on what this entails?”

Seeing this, Ye Lan cleared her throat and prepared to begin to explain in detail. She was very careful, fearing that her narration would not be detailed enough and would cause Shao Yun to misunderstand.

"Ahem," Ye Lan began, "From now on, if you need any information, just notify Chu Yi, the receptionist at the Yanshang Teahouse. If it's news from within Liyue, we guarantee that the information will be delivered to you within 24 hours."

"As for intelligence on other countries, such as finding specific people, understanding local customs, or looking up certain historical events, I promise that I can give you a reply in no more than three to seven days."

"But," Ye Lan changed the subject, with a hint of caution in her tone.

"If it's confidential intelligence from other countries, that's another matter. You know, the Fatui are experts in spying on other countries' secrets."

"Although I tried my best, some intelligence was extremely difficult to obtain and the success rate was not high. This was very tricky."

Ye Lan did not make any boasts. Some intelligence is indeed very difficult to obtain, with a low success rate and is very tricky.

But in order to prevent Shao Yun from feeling that this reward was too useless, Ye Lan still added some details.

"However," she continued, "if what you need is intelligence about the Fatui or other unofficial forces, we can also guarantee that this information will be delivered to you within three to seven days."

"For this unofficial information, I still have my own unique intelligence channels and methods."

After listening to this, Shao Yun nodded slowly and muttered, "So the reward that satisfies me is information..."

Seeing that Shao Yun showed interest in the reward she offered, Ye Lan further explained, "Yes, you travelers should have a great demand for all kinds of intelligence during your journey."

In fact, Ye Lan originally planned to raise some money as a reward, but she knew very well that the little wealth she had on hand might not be able to meet Shao Yun's expectations.

As for seducing with female beauty, it is even more impossible.

Therefore, she decided to give full play to her advantage in "intelligence work", which she was best at, and adopted a double strategy to attract Shao Yun.

Shao Yun was indeed impressed by this unique reward.

For him, money is not the most important thing, but the information may be of great help to Ying and Paimon.

So he expressed his willingness to accept this special reward.

"That does make sense... the reward is pretty good."

When Ye Lan heard Shao Yun's answer, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

It seems that her efforts were not in vain and she successfully attracted Shao Yun's attention.

With the issue of reward resolved, the two men continued riding forward and traveled some distance.

While on the way, Shao Yun felt extremely bored. He broke the silence and took the initiative to mention something about the "Yanshang Tea House" to Ye Lan.

He asked curiously: "By the way, can you really make a lot of money running a casino?"

This question surprised Ye Lan. She thought to herself, how could a casino not make money? This was simply a self-evident fact.

However, Ye Lan knew that if she answered directly like this, she would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.

Therefore, she decided to explain to Shao Yun patiently, and cited the example of the previous teahouse owner to illustrate the situation.

"According to the actual account records of the previous teahouse owner, if business is good, or if there are those easy-to-be-cheated fat sheep, within a week, he can earn 20 to 30 million Mora by pumping money."

While Ye Lan was explaining, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She began to wonder why Shao Yun suddenly became interested in casino matters.

This thought immediately reminded her of the Zhudianfang incident that happened before, and she quickly added, "It's just that now, the card game is no longer linked to money, but has become a purely entertainment game."

"Some of the activities that were once shady in Liyue Harbor have been transformed, and some have been cleared. But for games like card games or dice, as long as they are well controlled..."

Shao Yun understood what Ye Lan meant by her explanation, and also thought that she might be afraid that he would associate it with the incident of Zhudian Fang and suddenly go crazy and kill her.

Shao Yun explained calmly: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a messenger of justice. On the contrary, I used to play some cards."

Shao Yun's mind flashed back to the scenes where he had played various card games, such as blackjack, Texas Hold'em, and dominoes.

Sometimes, he would even try some exciting ways of playing, such as inserting a sharp knife between his fingers.

Whenever he thought of these memories, Shao Yun couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It's just that in the past, when I got angry, I would really flip the table."

Shao Yun said jokingly. This sentence is not an exaggeration, but a real thing that happened.

Because the gambler who wants to kill people challenges 8, 9, and 10! It often happens that he wins two games in a row and loses the third game. After his mentality collapses, he really takes dynamite and turns the table over in the physical sense.

After hearing Shao Yun's words, Ye Lan showed a hint of nervousness on her face.

Although Shao Yun told her not to be nervous, who knew if he would suddenly have an attack?

Ye Lan tried to change the subject to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Haha...By the way, thank you for the Zhudianfang matter..."

Shao Yun felt that he had recalled enough and immediately dropped the topic.

He stopped smiling, and said in a serious tone, "I just wanted to retrieve the remains of the two children's mother, Huanian. Don't think too much about it. Let's change the subject."

Seeing Shao Yun's serious expression, Ye Lan stopped talking immediately and responded, "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's change to a lighter topic."

Afterwards, Ye Lan explained to Shao Yun in detail the current situation of the Yanshang Tea House.

"In fact, the teahouse now is more like an information exchange, not just a place to drink tea."

"By selling some industry intelligence to businessmen, or charging a certain amount of commission for matchmaking, the income is still quite considerable."

Shao Yun listened to Ye Lan's introduction and thought of Ye Lan's identity as an "intelligence officer". He asked curiously, "Does Ningguang know that you use your access to intelligence to make extra money?"

Ye Lan nodded slightly and answered truthfully: "To be precise, Ningguang is supportive. Even a lot of my industry intelligence was given to me by Ningguang."

"You know... you have to share the profits with the merchants, you can't keep it all for yourself."

“Ningguang is not only a businessman, but also the Tianquan Star of the Liyue Seven Stars. She must maintain market stability.”

Later, Ye Lan also told Shao Yun a story that happened during their time away from Liyue and heading to Inazuma.

"At that time, a merchant from Zhidong spent a full 50 million Mora in the teahouse to get the opportunity to have lunch and talk with Ningguang."

Hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Really? Fifty million Mora, this is enough for Paimeng's food expenses for a while."

However, Ye Lan shook his head and further explained: "We should look further ahead. Later, the merchant from Zhidong earned an astonishing ten-digit Mora in the ore industry."

Hearing this number, Shao Yun murmured emotionlessly, "Wow, he actually made so much money... He can go to the auction of the floating stone."

Originally, this story was just an ordinary experience of selling intelligence, but when Ye Lan continued to tell the follow-up of the winter merchant, the whole story became eerie and terrifying.

"However, the Winter Merchant had the support of the Fatui, and most of the goods he transported and the money he earned eventually fell into the hands of the Fatui."

"In the end... you know, I'm the one who handles the people."

After hearing this ending, Shao Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He shook his head and said, "Well, Ningguang is still Ningguang after all. She will never do a business that loses money."

Since they were talking about the Fatui, Ye Lan took the opportunity to tell Shao Yun some of the information he had about the Fatui.

"Speaking of the Fatui, just like what happened in Liyue Harbor just now, I wanted to tell you about that matter. Do you know the ninth seat of the Fatui executive officers, 'the rich man'?" Ye Lan looked at Shao Yun and asked.

When Shao Yun heard the name of the Fatui executive "Rich Man", the figure of Leviticus Cornwall immediately appeared in his mind.

This successful railroad tycoon, sugar merchant, and oil boss made him feel moved.

He pretended to be surprised and pleased and replied, "That's good. It sounds like he has a lot to share."

Shao Yun even had the idea of ​​robbing him.

After hearing Shao Yun’s first impression of “rich people”, Ye Lan’s eyes twitched involuntarily.

This Shao Yun is really a bandit. I can’t imagine what kind of horrible things will happen if he meets that executive officer in the future.

Then, Ye Lan cleared her throat and began to tell her evaluation of the "rich man".

"I once crossed paths with him. He was a very difficult character. I paid a family heirloom jade bracelet in exchange for this gorgeous fur coat and cape, and destroyed his trade routes."

As Ye Lan spoke, she showed Shao Yun the exquisite jade bracelet on her wrist and the fur coat shawl she was wearing.

She continued: "Out of curiosity and a sense of caution, I conducted some simple research on him."

As Ye Lan introduced the rich man, the topic naturally turned to some past events in Mondstadt.

"Actually, you should have had contact with him a long time ago. Do you have any impression of the Goethe Hotel in Mond?" Ye Lan asked.

Shao Yun nodded, and the night when he went on his first killing spree immediately emerged in his mind.

"Remember, I once wiped out all the Fatui members there."

Ye Lan then extended the topic from the Goethe Hotel to the expulsion of diplomats from Mondstadt to the Kingdom of Winter and the declaration of the Fatui as an illegal organization.

"That hotel was actually funded by a 'rich man'. Later, due to the various crimes committed by the Fatui, including the actions against Mondstadt's defenses and the illegal exploration of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain, that hotel was used as the command center."

"The Knights of Favonius found a large amount of evidence of the Fatui's crimes in that hotel. This evidence not only involved the destruction of Mondstadt's defenses, but also included illegal exploration of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain."

"It was based on the solid evidence found in the hotel that the acting leader was able to justifiably label the Fatui as an illegal organization and took corresponding actions."

Shao Yun nodded indifferently and said calmly: "Oh, I know this. It should be the intelligence found by the cavalry captain of the Knights of Favonius."

Then, Ye Lan changed the topic to Liyue, and then revealed some information about the 'rich people'.

"By the way, Ningguang once fought a financial war with him."

She paused and continued, "The Northland Bank you robbed was his property. Thanks to you, the financial war between the rich and Ningguang ended with the defeat of the Fatui."

Shao Yun recalled how he robbed the Northland Bank. Although he had robbed a lot, he still felt a little regretful.

"But they still transported away more than 10 billion Mora, and I only got 50 billion." Shao Yun complained sadly: "10 billion, it can be piled up into a mountain."

When Ye Lan heard Shao Yun say that he was not satisfied with only getting 50 billion, she felt ashamed.

You are a real bandit! Can't even 50 billion satisfy you?
