Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

In the main mining area of ​​the Layered Rock Chasm, there is a small thatched pavilion next to the warehouse where explosives are stored.

This place used to be a resting place for the miners, but now it has temporarily become Shao Yun and Ye Lan's resting place.

Since there are frequent leaks of combustible gas in the main mining area, the calorimeters cannot choose resting places as freely as in the past.

This former miners' rest area is a perfect camp for them to take a temporary rest.

After all, if this place was really that dangerous, the miners wouldn't have set up a rest area here.

In the camp, the fire was crackling, and the vegetables and meat in the stew pot were boiling in the rich soup, exuding an enticing aroma.

Ye Lan sat on a bench, holding her lower abdomen tightly with both hands, moaning and sighing continuously.

Shao Yun was sitting on another bench not far away. Hearing Ye Lan's moans and sighs, he put away his diary after recording what happened that day.

Shao Yun looked at Ye Lan holding her belly impatiently, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't I give you the medicine? Your stomach shouldn't hurt anymore, right?"

Ye Lan covered her lower abdomen, her face a little pale. She shook her head gently and said nothing.

Seeing this, Shao Yun frowned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or are you hungry?"

Ye Lan still shook her head, turned her head to the side, looked at Shao Yun with a slightly resentful look, then took a deep breath, trying to relieve the discomfort in her abdomen.

Seeing that Ye Lan didn't say anything, Shao Yun began to speculate: "What's the reason? It can't be because she feels uncomfortable because of the smell of food, right?"

Ye Lan couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard that, but she didn't answer. She smelled the aroma coming from the pot, and her stomach began to churn again.

Ye Lan finally couldn't help but hold her belly, changed the subject, and asked: "Neither, let me ask you a question, what have we eaten in the past ten days?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun tried to recall the menu of the past few days, scratched his head, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be some stews, but I think it tastes good."

Ye Lan sighed helplessly and explained: "I know it tastes good, but I..."

Ye Lan shouted in her heart: "But I want to eat stir-fried dishes! Spicy stir-fried dishes!"

Shao Yun asked innocently, "What do you mean? Is the food I cooked not to your taste? If you are not satisfied, you can cook it yourself."

Ye Lan helplessly freed up a hand, touched his forehead, and complained: "I would like to cook for myself, but you brought a stew pot, brother... If I had a wok, I would have cooked my favorite food a long time ago!"

After listening to this, Shao Yun curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "Even if it's not stir-fry, is my stew unpalatable? I remember that you enjoyed it very much in the first few days."

Ye Lan sighed deeply, shook her head helplessly, and said frankly: "Your stew is indeed delicious, and your roasted meat is also fragrant, but the problem is... you always make the same two dishes over and over again!"

In fact, Ye Lan still had many unspoken complaints in her heart.

Shao Yun only knew how to cook Mond's thick vegetable stew and grilled steaks, and his three meals a day hardly changed.

Breakfast is stew, lunch is roast, and dinner is stew and roast.

Fortunately, there were bread and biscuits as staple food, otherwise if Ye Lan had only eaten meat, she would not have been able to bear it as early as the fifth day.

This kind of eating habit is really not suitable for her, but there is nothing she can do...

Ye Lan recalled the monotonous food of the past few days, coupled with the dark and damp living environment, and asked a question she had always wanted to ask.

"Don't tell me that your girlfriend is usually in charge of cooking while you and Paimon wait to open your mouth to eat."

Shao Yun thought carefully about Ying's cooking experience, and replied with a wry smile: "Well... let's put it this way, as long as Paimeng is by my side, I'm lucky if I can have a sip of hot soup."

This is the truth. Ying rarely cooks for me, and I can hardly snatch it from Paimon...

Ye Lan sat there, sighed helplessly, then gently rubbed her belly and complained: "Hey, eating meat every day, I feel like my digestive system is going to have problems."

After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, and brought up the old matter again, teasing, "You were like that yesterday, and you're still worried about constipation?"

This sentence made Ye Lan's face turn red instantly. She glared at Shao Yun angrily and shouted shyly: "How can it be the same? And didn't you promise not to bring up this topic again!"

Shao Yun saw Ye Lan getting as agitated as a cat whose tail was stepped on, so he quickly waved his hands and said soothingly, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

Then he pointed to the broth in the pot and continued, "But I remember there were cabbages and tomatoes in the stew. These vegetables can also help digestion."

Ye Lan's mood gradually calmed down, but she still seemed a little disappointed. She murmured to herself, "But that still mainly consists of eating meat. When can I change my taste..."

Shao Yun looked at Ye Lan's frustrated expression and really couldn't understand how she ate when she came to explore the Layered Abyss alone in another timeline.

Is it by chewing Jueyun pepper?

……

But after all, he still needed her to get out alive and fulfill the reward he had promised.

So, he decided to give Ye Lan some new food to satisfy her taste buds.

"Well, I'll give you a little treat..."

Shao Yun felt a little helpless, but in fact he didn't really want to do this.

If he hadn't just mentioned the thing he promised not to talk about, he wouldn't have taken out the can and given it to Ye Lan so easily.

Shao Yun took out a can of fruit from the Eastern Legend backpack, looked at the label carefully, and then threw it to Ye Lan.

"Canned peaches, sweet and sour. I hope they can whet your appetite."

Then, Shao Yun handed his dagger to Ye Lan and asked her to use it to open the can.

Why give Ye Lan a dagger? Because this can is from 1899, when there was no such thing as a pull tab.

If you don't have a special can opener, you can only use a dagger to solve the problem.

As it happened, Shao Yun didn't have a special can opener.

Ye Lan took the canned peaches and dagger thrown by Shao Yun, licked her lips, and said gratefully: "Thank you, I finally see some new things."

After saying that, Ye Lan used Shao Yun's dagger to open the can, revealing the bright yellow peach flesh inside.

She couldn't wait to take a bite. A sour and sweet taste spread in her mouth, accompanied by the tender peach flesh, which made Ye Lan feel refreshed instantly!

Ye Lan tasted the canned peaches in her hand with satisfaction, a contented smile on her lips.

She said with emotion: "Ah, although I prefer spicy food, it is really nice to taste sweet food in an environment like the Layered Abyss."

Shao Yun pointed in the direction they came from and asked in confusion: "I remember we passed some miners' living quarters and the base of the treasure-stealing group. There were cooking pots there. Why didn't you cook?"

Ye Lan swallowed the peach flesh in her mouth, wiped her lips gently, and patiently explained: "I have been looking for clues, how can I have time to cook? Besides..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "And, you know, sometimes when I see your girlfriend and Paimon adventuring in the wild, they always bring things they find useful. I thought you and Ying had similar personalities..."

What Ye Lan mentioned was exactly Ying and Paimon’s habit during their adventures – opening treasure chests!

They are keen to explore every corner and not miss any place where treasures may be hidden.

Even if it was the most common ingredients like cabbage and bird eggs, as long as they were obtained from the treasure chest, the two of them would pack them up and take them away without hesitation.

After Shao Yun heard Ye Lan's words, a helpless look appeared on his face, and then he explained seriously: "I am different from Ying and Paimeng. They both seem to be interested in everything in the treasure chest."

"But I'm only interested in Mora, nothing else catches my attention."

This statement was indeed true, because apart from Mora and the herbs that only Shao Yun could see, he really couldn't think of anything else that could attract his attention.

After all, people can only earn as much as they know, right?

When Ying sees something he can’t use, he always feels it will be useful; when Shao Yun sees something he can’t use, he just kicks it aside!

Then, Shao Yun said bluntly: "If you need me to get something next time, please tell me directly, don't expect me to guess your thoughts. Generally speaking, I am easy to get along with."

After hearing this, Ye Lan couldn't help but nodded in agreement and said, "Well, this is my mistake. I thought we could gradually form a tacit understanding between us."

However, Shao Yun looked at Ye Lan with cold eyes and responded unceremoniously.

"Don't be so self-righteous. I would rather spend my time imagining what Ying and Paimon are doing right now than trying to understand your thoughts!"

After Ye Lan ate the last of the peach meat in the can, she rolled her eyes and gave Shao Yun her first suggestion. "Well, Shao Yun, next time you make soup or grill meat, can you add more Jueyun pepper? I like spicy food."

Shao Yun nodded, thinking that Ye Lan should have told him earlier that she wanted spicy food. Although he knew it, if she didn't mention it, there was no need for him to change his recipe.

Although, there is no recipe for stewing soup, it depends entirely on your own combination...

"Yes, add Jueyun pepper. I understand. That stir-fry..."

Shao Yun looked at Ye Lan and continued, "If you want to eat, figure out a way yourself. I can't cook."

When Ye Lan heard the word "cooking", she quickly said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about that."

Shao Yun nodded indifferently, and then asked a question he had always wanted to ask.

"By the way, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you. Why do we waste so much time in areas where there are obviously miners active?"

"And why do you sometimes sneak around with what looks like a measuring instrument? What are you measuring?"

When Ye Lan heard Shao Yun asking about this, she answered his questions truthfully.

She said slowly: "On the one hand, of course we need to look for clues. After all, what happened to our ancestors happened a long time ago, so we must conduct a comprehensive and detailed search."

Then, she paused for a moment, and continued to explain: "On the other hand, I also have to collect some other important information."

“As you know, the Chasm is the lifeblood of Liyue’s economy. The people from Huishan Hall and Shenglu Hall often argue in front of Ningguang over the Chasm.”

When Shao Yun heard the words "Shenglu Hall", a trace of confusion appeared on his face, and he muttered in a low voice: "Shenglu Hall? I remember one time when I was bored and looking through the notices, I saw someone named Ruoyu who wanted to discuss something with Ningguang."

"It seems to be related to the glass industry. What is the specific situation?"

Ye Lan frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, then organized her thoughts and spoke slowly.

"Simply put, Huishan Hall believes that the Chasm of the Rocks still poses a great danger and is firmly opposed to its reopening."

"However, the lack of ore supply in Shenglu Hall has affected the livelihoods of many people in the glass industry, and they strongly request to re-mine the Layered Abyss to meet the demand."

"Recently, because of Ba Che's incident, Sheng Lu Hall brought up this matter again..." When talking about Ba Che's matter, Ye Lan subconsciously touched his forehead.

Obviously, in Liyue, which is ruled by humans, the immortals' help in Liyue's overthrow of the crisis and the incident with Keqing's elite Thousand Rock Army have indeed brought very bad influence to the believers of Liyue.

Ye Lan sighed softly and continued, "I won't go into the details. It's very complicated and you wouldn't be interested if I told you."

She frowned slightly, feeling a little headache about these things.

"Anyway, Ningguang asked me to take a look at the situation below when I came to the Layered Abyss to see if we can resume mining according to Huishan Hall's plan for reopening the mine."

"What you saw at the beginning was a contingency plan." Ye Lan's tone was filled with helplessness. She also hated troublesome things.

After listening to this, Shao Yun nodded indifferently and said, "You are quite busy."

After listening to this, Ye Lan nodded sadly and said, "Of course, this is the pain of being a worker. Although I like to be lazy, I still have to work."

She smiled helplessly, secretly lamenting the pressure and tediousness of her work.

Then, Ye Lan took a deep breath, feeling the rich aroma in the air, and said to Shao Yun: "The aroma is getting stronger and stronger. I bet the stew must be almost cooked."

Shao Yun took out a pocket watch from his backpack, checked the time, and then said with a hint of surprise.

"Wow, you have perfect timing. Should I charge you for cooking lessons?"

After hearing this, Ye Lan raised a mysterious smile and slowly replied, "That will have to wait until we safely leave the Layered Rock Abyss and return to the world above..."
