Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shao Yun took the letter of introduction written by Tinari and walked towards the intersection leading to Xumi City from Huachengguo.

From a distance, he saw Ying, Paimon and Cole standing together, talking excitedly.

During this period of time, Cole got along very well with Ying and Paimon.

Kelai has become Ying's first good friend after she entered Xumi. They can talk about anything and are very close to each other.

Shao Yun walked up to them and saw Ying and Ke Lai chatting excitedly. Even Paimeng beside them didn't notice Shao Yun. The atmosphere was very lively.

Shao Yun stood quietly aside, observing them with great interest.

After a while, he coughed softly, attracting the attention of the three people.

Then, while handing the letter of introduction written by Tinari to Ying, Shao Yun asked with a curious smile: "It seems that you two are having a great time chatting. Did I miss any interesting topics?"

Ying turned her head, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a bright smile.

"No, Shao Yun, you didn't miss anything important. But since you are here, let's get ready to go!"

Seeing the three people about to go to Xumi City, although Ke Lai felt a little reluctant, he still tried to force a smile and sincerely saw them off.

"Finally, as a trainee ranger, I sincerely wish you two a safe journey! I hope that I will have the opportunity to see you again in Huachengguo in the future. When the time comes, our rangers will do their best to provide you with all the help you need."

After hearing what Ke Lai said, Shao Yun looked at Ke Lai and kindly reminded him, "Ke Lai, work is important, but you should also pay more attention to your health."

"When I came here just now, I found that the Ministry of the Church had already sent rangers from other places to provide support, so you must not exhaust yourself."

Ke Lai nodded vigorously and responded softly: "Well, thank you for your concern. I will take good care of myself, please rest assured."

Seeing that everything was ready, Paimon pointed to the road in front of him and shouted, "Next stop, Xumi City!"

……

When Ke Lai returned to Huachenggu, Shao Yun blew a whistle, and within ten seconds "Carrot" came to his side.

Shao Yun gently patted "Luo Bo's" horse neck, turned his gaze to Ying, and asked a question.

"Ying, do you plan to ride your 'Buel', or sit behind me and take you and Paimon?"

Ying decided to sit behind Shao Yun without much hesitation.

"I'd better sit behind you. Walking with Paimon is really tiring lately."

Just as Shao Yun was about to help Ying get on the horse, he noticed the white dress Ying was wearing and made a suggestion.

"In that case, would you consider changing into the clothes I bought for you? I don't want the mud splashed by the horse when it gallops to dirty your skirt."

Ying looked down at her skirt and found that Shao Yun was suggesting that she change clothes again. She crossed her arms over her chest and asked, "What should I do if the clothes I change into get dirty by accident?"

Shao Yun replied easily: "If the clothes are dirty, we can find a place to pay to have them cleaned. If the clothes I gave you are damaged, we can send them to Qianzhi House in Fontaine and repair them for some money."

Ying looked around, observed the surrounding rainforest environment, and finally nodded in agreement with Shao Yun's suggestion.

"It's true that riding a horse in a skirt is not very convenient."

……

Ying changed into the cowgirl outfit—the summer sharpshooter version.

Ying lowered her head, looked at herself carefully, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Although so much time has passed, this denim girl suit still fits her body curves perfectly, making her figure look even more heroic.

The pair of hands wearing long black gloves added a bit of handsomeness.

"Well... how should I put it, this suit is not only comfortable to wear, but also very close-fitting. It doesn't affect my movements at all. And the texture of this pair of gloves is really good!"

Ying said as she gently stroked the glove, feeling its delicate material.

Shao Yun jumped onto the horse's back with a swift flip, then reached out to pull Ying up.

Shao Yun said proudly: "Of course! Ningguang spent a lot of money to get this set of equipment. If it's just for show but not for use, there's no need for us to complain. She will definitely write a letter to Qianzhiwu to negotiate."

Then, Shao Yun shook the reins lightly and urged the horse forward.

Ying hugged Shao Yun's waist tightly and swayed her body rhythmically to the sound of horse hooves.

……

Suddenly, Ying seemed to remember something and asked Shao Yun in front of him, "By the way, Shao Yun, how do you usually take care of horses?"

When Shao Yun heard this question, his heart skipped a beat.

Normally, these horses are stored in the system stable. When they are needed, just blow a whistle and they will come out obediently. After use, just pat the horse's butt and the horse will leave on its own. When the horse disappears from your sight, it will be stored in the system stable.

But how can I tell Ying about this?

So Shao Yun told her the details of how to take care of the horse.

"Taking care of horses is not difficult. You need to prepare fresh grass and clean water for them every day, comb their hair and clean their hooves regularly. Take them out for a walk occasionally to exercise them."

After saying this, Shao Yun asked, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

After hearing Shao Yun's question, Ying's eyes fell on the muddy road in the rainforest, and she recalled the various rugged roads she had encountered when she was learning how to deal with the dead zone with Tinari these days.

She frowned slightly and said softly, "Alas, you don't know, Shao Yun. Xumi is really too big! And the road conditions here are so complicated that it gives people a headache."

"Just like these few days, Paimon and I were just wandering around in Daocheng Forest, and we were so tired that we almost fell apart." Ying couldn't help but shake her head slightly. Thinking back on it now, her legs still feel sore.

Shao Yun listened to Ying's complaints and quickly understood what she meant.

The terrain of Xumi is so complicated that two legs alone are not enough, and a horse is needed to travel.

(As for the teleportation anchor points, some places in Xumi are difficult to get to even with the teleportation anchor points!)

Shao Yun nodded, showing his understanding, "So that's how it is. I understand. I'll solve it in a few days."

Ying's Dutch Warmblood horse, Buell, still belonged to Shao Yun in the system, so if Ying wanted to ride it, Shao Yun had to whistle to call the horse out, which was really troublesome.

However, since Ying had clearly raised the issue, Shao Yun felt it was his duty to help her solve it.

Find some time to discuss this with that useless system and see if there is any solution.

……

Before he knew it, Shao Yun was riding a horse with Ying and Paimeng on his back, moving forward all the way and arriving at a three-way intersection.

Looking to the north, the road extends straight, and at the end you can vaguely see the Xumi City with towering trees.

To the south is the peaceful and tranquil Vimalakirti Village; if you walk south for a distance and then follow the path to the west, you will reach the Zen Garden.

Just when Shao Yun was about to go north, Ying and Paimeng triggered the "Forest Book" of the 76 living fathers.

In the middle of the intersection, a heroic woman in a green uniform was confronting three rock-attributed mushroom beasts on the road.

The ranger named Lana held a sharp axe in his right hand and waved his arm vigorously from time to time, trying to scare away the mushroom beasts that were blocking the way.

At the same time, she shouted loudly: "Hey! Damn mushrooms, go back, go back!"

Paimon immediately noticed the situation on Lana's side.

Seeing this strange woman in trouble, Paimeng was extremely worried and quickly said to Shao Yun and Ying: "Hey, look! There's someone over there who needs help. Should we go over and lend a hand?"

Shao Yun looked in the direction Paimeng pointed, and his eyes fell on the three mushrooms that had become spirits.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and glanced at Ying behind him, thinking, Ying hasn't fired a gun for a long time, isn't this a perfect opportunity to practice?

So, he smiled and suggested to Ying: "Okay. Ying, in this case, why not take this opportunity to review the shooting skills I taught you."

Ying glanced at the Hao Ke revolver on his waist, then looked at Lana who was in urgent need of help, and agreed to Shao Yun's proposal.

Then, Ying jumped off the horse, took out the Hao Ke revolver from his waist, and like a battle-hardened sharpshooter, he raised the gun with one hand and aimed steadily at the three mushroom "mushroom beasts" in front of Lana that looked like spirits.

With just two "bangs", Ying dealt with the two mushroom beasts cleanly and neatly.

The reason why only two were dealt with was because Lana had just chopped a mushroom beast in half vertically with her axe.

This Xumi man is really fierce, unlike the one in Mondstadt... It's not accurate either, after all, the monsters like the hillbillies that the guy in Mondstadt encountered are not elemental creatures like the mushroom beasts...

……

After seeing Ying come to her aid and help her solve the problem, Lana put her axe on her waist.

She clasped her hands together and thanked Ying who helped her: "Oh, you guys really helped a lot, thank you for your help."

Shao Yun looked at the mushroom beast that was split in half and teased Lana, "You are too modest. Just now, when you swung the axe, the mushroom beast was directly broken into two pieces. I think even if we didn't show up, you could cut these mushroom beasts into thin strips with an axe by yourself."

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Lana quickly responded modestly: "Oh, you are too kind! These mushrooms are very cunning. If you are not careful, you may be attacked by them. If you accidentally hit them, the pain will make you unable to get out of bed for three days."

When Paimon heard that being hit by a mushroom beast would be very painful, he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

"Yeah, I can feel the pain just thinking about it."

Then, Lana coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and formally introduced herself to everyone.

"I'm Lana, the ranger in charge of patrolling this area. I originally had a few companions working with me here..."

However, when it comes to this, Lana showed a helpless expression on her face, sighed softly and then said: "But because of the serious dead zone problem in Daochenglin, my colleagues have been transferred away, so I am the only one working in the Weimo Village area..."

Just after Lana finished her self-introduction, Paimon also hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced his own people.

"Hello, Miss Lana! We are all travelers from afar. My name is Paimon, this is Shao Yun, and this is Ying."

After listening to the introduction, Lana slowly scanned the clothes of the three people in front of her, muttering softly: "Looking at your clothes and temperament, you really don't look like the people of the forest or the yellow sand..."

At this point, Lana paused for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Oh, my brain has gone so far! As a forest ranger, it is my responsibility to protect the forest and help travelers."

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky, only to see that the golden sun was quietly tilting towards the west.

Lana thought for a moment, then turned to look at the three people and suggested enthusiastically: "It's getting late. How about this? I will soon finish today's patrol mission. How about I take you to Weimo Manor to rest?"

"The environment there is very good, and it is very convenient to take a boat whether going to Xumi City or Omos Port."

Hearing Lana's sincere invitation, Paimon, who had been floating beside Ying, stretched out his little hand and touched his round chin, muttering softly.

"Hmm... so, should we follow Lana to Vimalakirti? Or should we still go to Xumi City as planned?"

Ying first looked thoughtfully toward the road in the north that led directly to Xumi City, and then slowly moved his gaze to the path in the south that led to Vimalakirti Manor.

After reading it over and over again several times, Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she seemed to have come up with a brilliant idea.

So, she turned to Shao Yun who was riding a horse with a smile on her face, and said in a cheerful tone: "Shao Yun, how about this, we split up into two groups. We stay to help Lana complete the forest patrol work and send her back to Weimo Manor."

"You go to Xumi City to help us with the accommodation problem, and then we'll meet up with Miss Catherine at the Adventurer's Association. How about that?"

When Lana heard Ying's question about accommodation, she immediately said enthusiastically, "Ah? You don't have a place to stay? Then I strongly recommend that you stay at Weimo Manor."

"The young people in Vimo Manor are either going to Xumi City or Omos Port. There are many empty houses. We can vacate one for you to rest!"

Seeing Lana's kindness and enthusiasm, Paimon said politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Lana. Let's talk about it later."

Lana waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, this is what I should do."
