Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

In the Layered Rock Abyss, in the Dansha Cliff area, there is an abandoned resting place for workers, a small thatched house.

This is where "Laochou" started the treasure hunting game.

At this moment, it temporarily became a temporary camp for Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng.

For "Lao Chou", whether he likes it or not, it has become a fact.

In the early morning, golden sunlight shines through sparse clouds and onto the mining area.

The outline of the mine gradually became clear in the morning light, with huge rocks and deep mine tunnels crisscrossing.

The miners began their day's work. The sounds of birds singing and tools banging formed a unique scene in the mining area in the early morning.

By the campfire, Shao Yun recounted the incident involving Noel to Ying word for word with a focused expression.

Ying was feeling helpless at the moment. She remembered that when Shao Yun came back from Mond, he couldn't wait to grab her and tell her the story again.

On the way to the Abyss, he told it again without getting tired of it.

Today, early in the morning, just before leaving for Xumi, Shao Yun started talking incessantly once again!

……

Shao Yun sat by the fire, holding a stick in his hand, poking at the dying flames from time to time.

Ying sat quietly beside him, listening to him talk about his time in Mond for the third time.

While Shao Yun continued to fiddle with the fire, he slowly told Ying beside him, "Finally, I sent Noelle back to her home. Then, I rushed back to Liyue to find you."

When Ying finished listening to Shao Yun's third long speech about Noelle's confession to him and his ultimate rejection, she sighed helplessly and covered her forehead with her hands in melancholy.

“I’ve said it for the third time! There’s really no need for you to keep repeating that you rejected Noelle. I’ve only said it once. I believe you…”

Seeing this, Shao Yun's heart softened slightly. He gently stretched out his hand and held Ying in his arms.

"I think you need to know the details here."

Ying leaned on Shao Yun's arm, forced a bitter smile, and said, "I'm almost getting calluses from hearing all these details. I really believe you! Don't mention this anymore, let's stop here!"

Just as the two fell into a brief silence, "Lao Chou", who had once left the treasure-hunting group and was now starting a treasure-hunting game here, came back.

He came over with three packed breakfasts in his hands and said loudly, "You two, I bought three breakfasts for you!"

Ying stood up, stretched out her hand, and took the steaming hot breakfast bought by "Lao Chou".

"Thank you very much. Thank you for your help."

"Laochou" scratched his head a little embarrassedly, with a simple smile on his face, and said politely: "Oh, don't be so polite, the heroine has helped me so much, buying breakfast is nothing."

"Since the mining of the Stratum Chasm resumed, workers have come. Many people have smelled business opportunities and opened many food stalls at the entrance of the Stratum Chasm. It's not a big deal to buy breakfast or something like that."

At this moment, Paimon flew out from the simple thatched hut.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking dazed as if she had not yet fully woken up.

However, in the next second, her sensitive nose seemed to detect a unique fragrance in the air, which instantly dispelled her sleepiness.

She immediately perked up. Her eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Wow, what's that smell? It smells so good. Is there something delicious? I want to eat it, I want to eat it!"

Ying looked at Paimon's cute greedy look and handed him her breakfast.

"Here, I brought you one, try it."

Paimon excitedly took her breakfast, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his little face. He said happily, "Yeah! It's delicious! Ying, you are so nice to me~"

Seeing how easily Paimeng was satisfied, Shao Yun secretly sighed in his heart, Paimeng is really easy to feed...

……

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng sat beside the dying campfire and ate breakfast leisurely.

He tilted his head slightly, carefully taking a look at the simple thatched hut he stayed in last night, and muttered quietly, "I thought we had to go to great lengths to set up a tent last night."

"I never expected that you would bring me here directly and 'requisition' it."

At this time, Lao Chou was standing in an open space not far away, setting up the treasure hunting game he had carefully designed.

When he heard the word "expropriation" from Shao Yun's mouth, he suddenly stopped swallowing his saliva and almost choked on his own saliva.

Yingze was eating the meat bun in her hand with relish, and after listening to Shao Yun's words, she chuckled softly.

She raised her hand and patted Shao Yun on the shoulder, and reminded him helplessly: "Lao Chou is actually a very nice person. Don't always talk like that. This breakfast was treated to us by others."

After saying that, Ying turned around and expressed her sincere gratitude to Lao Chou who was busy not far away.

"Thank you for letting us rest here last night."

When Lao Chou heard Ying's sincere thanks, he stopped what he was doing, turned around and said, "Haha, no need to be polite to me. We are all people who are away from home, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

"And I also want to thank you for your support, Miss Xia. Many of my co-workers heard that you played the treasure hunting game here and won a big prize."

"Now, after work, they will come to my place to play a few games. It's only natural for me to treat you to breakfast."

……

Just as Ying was eating breakfast with relish, she remembered what Shao Yun had just mentioned about setting up the tent.

"Oh! Last time at Inazuma, I forgot to ask you to teach my brother how to pitch a tent. I don't know when we'll meet again."

Shao Yun rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "Hey, how about this, let's have another fight, maybe we can lure your brother out?"

Upon hearing Shao Yun's words, Ying pouted her pink lips slightly and said unhappily, "Stop it, we didn't even have a fight at that time!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly stopped teasing Ying, cleverly changed the subject, and asked with concern: "Okay, by the way, how is Ye Lan's commission going? Did you encounter any difficult problems?"

Ying took a sip of the steaming soy milk and said slowly, "Oh, it went very smoothly."

Afterwards, Ying began to explain Ye Lan's legendary mission. There were no major changes during the whole process, so Shao Yun no longer paid too much attention to it.

However, there was a small change at this time. The Fatui executive "Rich Man" instructed "Yusupov" to instruct Zhiyi.

If he really became a Tianshu Star, he would immediately investigate the Northern Bank case and find out whether the Liyue Seven Stars were involved in the disappearance of the 50 billion Mora...

……

After finishing breakfast, Paimon patted his round belly and slowly lay down on Ying's white and slender thighs.

It gently rubbed its now extremely satisfied stomach with its two little hands, and kept muttering: "Wow, this breakfast is so delicious, I am so full... I am almost full to the throat!"

Yingze took advantage of the time to digest the food and took out the detailed information about Xumi. He turned to Shao Yun and said, "While we still have a little time, let's plan a trip to Xumi."

As he spoke, Ying waved a map of Xumi in front of Shao Yun's eyes, and continued, "Look, this is the information about Xumi that you got from Ningguang last time."

"And it also includes a special Xumi tourist map. We can study it together with the map we have now."

At the same time, Ying couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with emotion: "Oh, it would be great if there was a Teyvat travel guide 'Sumeru Chapter'. There has been no news since the Inazuma Chapter was published..."

After listening to Ying's words, Shao Yun pondered for a moment. It must be the problem on the border of Teyvat that distracted Alice.

Of course, there are also factors that fan the flames...

Coming back to his senses, Shao Yun pointed to the two places on the map, Liyue Harbor and Yilong Port, and said, "Actually, I had been thinking about one thing before coming to the Stratum."

"If we take a boat, we can take a boat from Liyue Port to Omos Port, or go to Yilong Port and take a boat to Baida Port. Wouldn't that be more convenient?"

When Ying saw Shao Yun asking why he chose to cross the Layered Abyss to reach Xumi, he said, "Because when Paimon and I were adventuring in the Layered Abyss, we discovered a mine that led directly to Xumi."

Then, Ying pointed to the rope ladder not far to the north and said, "The mine is over there. You can see it by walking down the rope ladder. It will save you some money for the boat ticket."

"Although we have enough money for the trip, we should still ride horses if we can walk. We can use the money we save to eat more delicious food."

Paimon, who was resting on Ying's legs, heard the proposal and said happily, "I agree!"

Shao Yun felt that there was some truth to this. The current expenses consisted of accommodation and food expenses.

As for travel expenses, riding a horse can save land transportation costs; as for water transportation, there are wave boats, and unless Yae Shinko asks Inazuma to close the country again, there is no need to spend any money on boat tickets.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I don't particularly like taking a boat." Shao Yun nodded and said.

After determining the general direction, Ying took out the information about Xumi.

"This is the basic introduction of Xumi. It says that Xumi is divided into rainforest area and desert area."

"The Xumi Teachings Office governs everything in Xumi."

"The highest title for researchers in the Sages' Order. The six sages of the Order are not only the academic elites of the six schools, but also the managers of the various colleges.

"Among the six schools, a 'Great Sage' will be elected as the apex of the Court of the Decrees."

"The Institute of the Teachings is divided into six major schools. The School of the Life Theory is Amirita School. The School of the Vibhasha Theory is Ritupanti School. The School of the Pure Theory is Sipatama School. The School of the Knowledge Theory is Sravasti School. The School of the Path Theory is Varumana School. The School of the Wonderful Theory is Sahavara School."

"In a general academy, there would be sages, Tusitas, Upandhas, Trilyasīs..."

……

Shao Yun sat there, listening to Ying reading out a series of obscure technical terms. The complexity of these terms was even more profound than the water divination that Mona had once mentioned.

Before he was completely swallowed up by this torrent of knowledge, Shao Yun interrupted the abstruse terms that kept pouring out of Ying's mouth. "Stop reading, Ying, I'm really confused. What do these strange names mean? I don't remember most of what you said. I only understood the word 'sage'."

When Ying saw Shao Yun's reaction, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue. Her tongue became numb from reading these nouns herself.

"The name is indeed hard to remember, and just reading it out loud..." Ying smiled helplessly, seeming a little helpless.

Ying then turned her gaze to Paimon, who was lying on her lap, with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Next time, let Paimon pronounce these difficult words. My tongue is almost tied from pronouncing them." Ying said half-jokingly.

When Paimeng heard this, he immediately started to act coquettishly.

"Ah... Although I am the best guide in the continent of Teyvat, my tongue will get tied if I read these complicated words!" Paimon pretended to look pitiful.

Shao Yun watched the interaction between Ying and Paimeng, and explained to Ying in a more understandable way the titles Ying had just read out, such as sage and Tuo.

"I think this great sage is like the president of a university, the sages are the deans of various colleges, the Tuo something or other should be at the professor level, the He something or other might be a lecturer, and the Emperor something or other might be a student."

Shao Yun tried his best to simplify these complex nouns using his own understanding and to better understand these concepts.

Speaking of professors, this reminded Shao Yun of the woman who collected dinosaur bones. It seemed that her goal was to be hired as a professor at some university.

It's just that the dinosaur fossils that were pieced together are a bit... At least in the end, I got a dinosaur bone knife...
