Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

When he looked closely, he saw that the person standing in front of him was actually Noelle, and his movements stopped abruptly.

He brushed off the dust on his body caused by the smoke bomb, his thoughts racing, and he pointed at the fools on the ground who were breathing out but not breathing in, and cursed with a smile.

"This guy deserves to die, he is a fool."

Noelle was slightly stunned, and a hint of doubt flashed in her clear eyes. Looking at the person lying on the ground, dressed like Mondstadt, judging from his appearance, the Fatui usually don't dress like this?

Shao Yun squatted down, took out a Fatui recruit badge from his arms and showed it to him.

Noelle's eyes were fixed on the emblem in his hand. The emblem was shining with a cold light.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes revealed deep confusion and thought.

"This is indeed the insignia of the Fatui vanguard's new recruits." There was some uncertainty in Noelle's voice, and she stroked her chin lightly with her fingers.

"He was trying to find out the secrets of the Knights. I... you know."

Upon hearing such explosive news, Noelle's eyes widened and he looked at Shao Yun with a trembling voice. Is there really anyone who dares to eavesdrop on the Knights?

"Ah...really?"

Seeing a hint of hesitation in Noelle's eyes, Shao Yun immediately seized the opportunity. He emphasized his tone, which was full of determination and trust: "If this can't be proved, you can ask Captain Qin, she can prove it."

Noelle stood there with a frown on her face, and after a moment, she took a deep breath and nodded slowly with an apologetic look on her face.

The voice was gentle and sincere. "Mr. Shao Yun, I'm really sorry. I was a little reckless just now and almost attacked you.

It's just a misunderstanding, not a big deal.

After exchanging a few brief greetings with Noel, Shao Yun's eyes suddenly fell on several boxes behind Noel. These boxes looked quite heavy and were covered with a bit of dust, and it was obvious that they had arrived here after a long journey.

Curious, I couldn't help but ask, "Noelle, what's in these boxes?"

Hearing this, Noelle turned around and took a look at the box. Then he thought of something and covered his mouth in surprise.

"Oops! Now I remember, I'm on an emergency mission with Captain Kaia."

After saying that, he quickly walked to the box, bent down, and lifted a box with both hands.

Shao Yun stepped forward to lend a hand and helped Noel put the box in place.

"I'm going to deliver these fruits to the knights at the city gate. Captain Kaia said that the lack of nutrition for the knights standing guard will affect their battle. It's urgent."

Okay, this is a good mission, thanks to Kaia for coming up with it.

If time permits, I might even help her deliver it, but now...

"Okay then, just get busy, I won't bother you anymore."

Noelle was about to leave when she stopped and thanked Shao Yun for his help during the dragon disaster a few days ago.

"Oh, by the way, Shao Yun, thank you for helping me clean up the mess at that time,"

Shao Yun waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, you're welcome."

Noelle was about to leave holding the wooden box, leaving behind a few words.

"I will be near the gate of Mondstadt in the next few days. When you are free, Shao Yun, please come over. I will give you a thank-you gift."

Seeing that Noel remembered to give him a thank-you gift, Shao Yun felt it was unnecessary.

"Hurry up and get busy."

After Noelle left, a prompt popped up.

System prompt: Three days later, at dusk, go to the Mondstadt gate to trigger a conversation with Noelle.

I thought it was just like Lisa, giving herself something, but I didn’t expect another one to pop up.

Note: This is an important task, please take it seriously.

Isn't it just a conversation? Is it necessary to be so solemn?

Besides, what did he have to do recently? It was enough to torment himself to find Tvarin's tears.

……

Back at Angel's Gift, Shao Yun opened the door and saw that the bar was empty except for the bartender Charles, who was wiping the glasses.

When Charles saw someone coming, he immediately greeted them.

"Mr. Shao Yun is here. What would you like to drink?"

"Where are the people?" Shao Yun asked. It had only been a short time since he left, and yet they were all gone?

"Oh, you mean Master Diluk and the others. They left a long time ago." Charles pointed at the door of the tavern behind Shao Yun. "It's been a while."

Just when Shao Yun was about to go out to find Ying, Charles quickly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I just remembered that Ying left you a note."

After saying that, he pulled out a note from under the bar and handed it to Shao Yun.

I unfolded the note and saw only a short sentence.

"Shao Yun, go to Catherine's place in the Adventurer's Association, urgent!"

This is asking me to go to the Adventurer's Guild. Look at the font, it's written by Paimon. It's really short.

I guess I originally wanted to write a lot and then let myself miss it, but fortunately I had a drink, but under Ying's threat, I only wrote this briefly.

"Thank you." Shao Yun put the note away, left the tavern and walked straight towards the reception desk of the Adventurer's Association.

When I arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, I saw Ying and Paimon looking for commissions in front of Catherine from a distance.

"I'm here." Shao Yun waved his hand and moved closer to the two of them.

When Paimeng heard that Shao Yun was coming, he immediately put his hands on his hips, frowned, and his little face was full of dissatisfaction.

Looking at Shao Yun who was late, his tone was full of reproach: "You took too long, Ying and I are about to leave."

Ying looked at Paimeng's actions, recalled what happened last night, and immediately patted Paimeng's back in dissatisfaction.

"Paimeng, don't lie to Shao Yun. We just got here."

Paimon hung his head in disappointment when he saw that his plan was ruthlessly blown through.

"Ouch~ the juice is gone."

Seeing Paimeng's dejected look, Shao Yun comforted him, "Hahaha, if Paimeng wants to drink, I don't mind treating him every day."

"Really?" Paimon immediately became excited.

"Paimon!" Ying's voice rose octaves, suppressing Paimon.

"Haha, don't talk about this. Why did I come to the Adventurer's Guild?"

When it came to business, Paimon immediately perked up and pulled Shao Yun in front of Catherine.

"It's like this. The Adventurer's Association is currently recruiting new adventurers. The benefits are very good. I think you should also participate in such a good thing."

In Paimon's eyes, this was a lucrative job that could be easily handled by himself and Ying. Transporting goods and fighting Hilichurls were all simple tasks. After completing all of them, they could earn more than 10,000 Mora.

Shao Yun was not very interested. It was not like playing games to earn raw stones. Now the commission was only given to Mora. He had more than 2 billion in his pocket, so even if it was a waste, he would be exhausted.

"Oh I got it."

Paimeng blinked, not catching Shao Yun's tone. He asked with a little excitement: "So what are your intentions?"

"I don't really care. I feel like I can accept commissions even if I'm not an adventurer."

When Catherine heard Shao Yun's words, she gave a warm explanation.

"That's not the case. After being screened by the association, you can get a commission that suits you faster. Why wait for an illusory private commission that has no guarantee and may lead to labor disputes?"

"Besides, with the guarantee of Ying and Paimeng, you only need to write down the basic information. There are many benefits for joining the Adventurer's Association and becoming a registered adventurer, such as..."

Without waiting for Catherine to finish speaking, Shao Yun waved his hand impatiently.

"I know you said that you would help novices and allow veterans to complete their adventures easily. But what's the key point?"

Catherine went straight to the point and threw out the project that all adventurers look forward to most, exploring unknown secrets.

"The Adventurer's Association will also be given priority in exploring newly discovered secret realms. If you have outstanding abilities, you will be given priority in exploration, and the treasure chests inside will belong to the first person to find them."

When the word "treasure chest" was mentioned, Paimeng became excited again. If Ying hadn't been holding him back, he would have directly pulled Shao Yun to sign the application form to join the Adventurer's Association.

"Besides, you are travelers. If you are also famous adventurers, you will be welcomed by all countries and known by everyone, which will save you a lot of trouble."

Shao Yun stood quietly in front of Catherine, lowered his head slightly, weighing something in his mind, and finally stared at Catherine with deep eyes.

"Then our information will be placed on the table of major forces and used as so-called pawns, right?"

Catherine didn't expect to talk about this issue and smiled slightly embarrassedly.

"That's not the way to say it. A full understanding is also for the sake of..."

"No need to say more, I'm not interested." Shao Yun refused directly, but he was still reluctant to show up in public without any objection.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

The four bottles of special-effect magical supplements are gone and have not been replenished yet. Instead of making a little money, it is better to go out and pick some herbs to replenish the supplements while I have no tasks to do.

"Wait a minute! Shao Yun." Paimeng immediately caught up and blocked his way.

"Shao Yun, joining the Adventurer's Association is not a bad thing. You will be paid for handling commissions, and you will be treated if you get injured! What's wrong with that?"

He looked around, then whispered to Paimon, "I don't like too much attention, you know."

Paimeng seemed to understand Shao Yun's feelings. But she still comforted him with her soft voice: "Shao Yun, don't be so nervous. People here don't know your old self."

"I know, but..."

Seeing that Shao Yun was still trying to evade her, she simply blinked her eyes, pretended to be pitiful, and tried to persuade him in a high voice: "Just think of it as accompanying me and Ying, isn't it okay?"

Shao Yun looked at the pitiful Jiaziyin Paimeng and sighed helplessly. Who asked him to fall for this? Since the other person said so, he couldn't offend him. He nodded silently.

"It's just you and Ying. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother with them."

Catherine was brought back to her by Paimon. Although she agreed to become an adventurer, she still had to ask the right questions, as she was not here to work at the Adventurer's Association.

"I want to ask, are commissions and the like mandatory?"

This was the first time Catherine had heard this kind of question. Various possible answers and explanations raced through her mind, but none of them seemed to be able to accurately respond to this question.

"This is the first time I've heard of such a strange request. Most adventurers would love to take on more commissions..."

Based on the principle that if there is no regulation, it should be allowed, a reply was given to Shao Yun.

"The Adventurer's Association does not require adventurers to fulfill certain mission targets. It is entirely voluntary."

It's okay as long as it's not forced. Working is impossible. Now that you've traveled through time and have money in your pocket, you must be a little freer!

If there are no other questions, proceed to the next item.

"Please fill out the report."

Shao Yun took the paper and pen handed to him by Catherine, filled in the basic information, and returned it to her.

Catherine took the report and looked at the name column with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She raised her head and looked at Shao Yun standing in front of her, and asked with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

"Tacitus Kilgore?"

Looking at Catherine's puzzled eyes, Shao Yun didn't say anything, but just nodded.

If that doesn't work, there are other names you can write, such as Callahan, Tahiti, Fenton, or Cornwall.

Catherine looked down at the report again and expressed her doubts.

"Isn't your name Shao Yun?"

Shao Yun nodded and explained, "What's wrong? The name is just a code name."

Catherine was so sad that she could not even cry. She tried every way to make her job more difficult.

“This will lead to confusion in the payment of commission remuneration.”

Faced with this problem, Shao Yun set his eyes on Ying standing beside him and immediately thought of a good idea.

Said to Catherine: "Just write Ying as the payee, since we are together anyway."

Catherine looked at the three people in embarrassment. She had been working as a receptionist for so many years and thought she had met all kinds of people. She didn't expect that today would open her eyes.

"All right……"

Catherine had nothing to say. She put away the report and began to deal with the identity of "Tacitus", that is, Shao Yun, the adventurer.

Ying looked at Shao Yun in confusion, with a hint of bewilderment and doubt between her brows. She asked, "Shao Yun, I don't quite understand why the recipient of the commission fee is written as me?"

"I don't want to draw unnecessary attention. We're going to travel together anyway, so it doesn't matter who keeps the money."

A penny can make a hero fall, but with a penny, the sky is high and the bird flies freely. What's more, the money in my pocket is simply too much to spend, so the entrusted money can be regarded as food expenses for Paimeng.

After Catherine completed Shao Yun’s adventurer registration, she handed him a brand new adventure certificate.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tacitus, you have become a glorious member of the Adventurer's Guild. I look forward to your reaching the end of the stars and the abyss."
