Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 405 Lisa Travels to Xumi

The next morning, the sun had just risen and the sunlight shone through the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

Ying got up early, washed up, and then took Paimon to Huanalana to find those Lanaros who looked like radish spirits.

At the same time, Shao Yun seemed to have nothing to do.

After all, the Flower Goddess’ Birthday Festival would not be held for some time, and he would definitely not waste time going to Port Omos.

He arrived at the door of Puspa Cafe so early.

Although he could enjoy free food at Lambotton, Shao Yun had always been curious about Xumi's coffee.

After all, Ye Lan said that Xumi’s coffee is delicious, so I must try it!

Moreover, for him who is not short of money, occasional moderate spending is also a good choice.

When Shao Yun stepped into the Pushpa Cafe, his eyes were instantly attracted by a figure sitting in the corner.

She was a mature woman wearing a uniform similar to that of the Sumire Temple. She was slightly lowering her head and concentrating on fiddling with the coffee cup in front of her.

The woman has long chestnut hair that is smooth and shiny.

She wore an exquisite necklace on her fair and slender neck, in the center of which was an eye of God emitting a faint lightning light.

Her clothes are mainly in fresh green, well-cut and finely made, which not only show her capable character, but also retain the unique elegance of women.

Shao Yun felt that this person looked very familiar. When he got closer to take a closer look, he was suddenly surprised to find that this was Lisa?!

It is worth mentioning that Lisa also wears a decorative ring on the middle finger of her right hand. The pattern on the ring face is a bright gold color, flashing a dazzling light, adding a touch of nobility and gorgeousness to her whole person.

In addition, the golden ring decorations on her legs perfectly embellished her overall look, making it even more elegant and charming.

Lisa felt that someone was always looking at her, and this strange feeling made her feel confused.

Could it be that I'm being targeted by some people with bad intentions?

So she slowly raised her head, and their eyes met Shao Yun's in the air.

Lisa had never expected that she would meet Shao Yun here just after arriving in Xumi City. She waved her hand gently and extended a warm invitation to Shao Yun, signaling him to come over quickly.

"Isn't this Shao Yun? What a coincidence, meeting you here!"

Shao Yun was also surprised. He didn't expect Lisa to be in Xumi.

Shao Yun walked over to Lisa and sat down opposite her without any hesitation, and his eyes naturally fell on the new clothes on Lisa.

He looked her up and down with interest and couldn't help but start teasing her.

"Wow, Lisa? Why are you wearing the uniform of the Faculty of Letters? Is it because your graduation thesis was found to be unqualified in the random inspection, so the Faculty of Letters asked you to come back to retake it, otherwise your diploma will be revoked?"

Hearing this, Lisa was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

She propped her chin up, raised her pretty eyebrows, smiled without showing her teeth, and responded, "You are such a joker! If anyone else dared to talk to me like that, I would have used the element of lightning to teach them a lesson long ago."

Seeing that Lisa was about to get angry, Shao Yun quickly smiled and waved his hand gently, saying with a bit of apology on his face: "I'm sorry, I was just joking with you just now."

"If even the graduation thesis written by you, a super genius graduate of the Xumi Academy who is praised as 'once in two hundred years', is ruthlessly rejected, then I will just burn the entire Academy to ashes!"

Hearing Shao Yun praising her like that, Lisa nodded with satisfaction. Shao Yun was joking, but it was just some jokes after all.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile, and she said in a sweet voice: "You guys are still so good at talking and making people happy. This can't help but remind me of the scene when I first met you in Qin's office..."

Lisa's thoughts gradually drifted back to the moment of their first meeting, when Shao Yun looked like a true gentleman.

However, as time went by and they got to know each other better, she discovered that her first impression of him was a complete illusion.

In fact, Shao Yun is completely different from the so-called "gentleman" image.

But then again, although his personality sometimes seems like a split personality, it is undeniable that he is indeed extraordinary in some aspects.

Thinking of this, Lisa could only shake her head helplessly, not knowing how to evaluate such a unique guy.

In order to avoid dwelling on this question, Lisa quickly changed the subject and asked curiously, "By the way, where are the cutie and Paimon? Why aren't they here?"

Shao Yun lazily leaned back in his chair and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Alas, they are all great adventurers, unlike me who is mediocre and idle all day long. I am just an idle vagrant."

When Lisa heard that Shao Yun had nothing to do all day, she couldn't help but feel envious.

"Having nothing to do is a good thing from a certain perspective! It means you have enough time and energy to enjoy life to the fullest. It would be great if I could be as relaxed and at ease as you every day."

After saying that, she smiled slightly, with a hint of yearning in her eyes.

After hearing this, Shao Yun shook his head in self-mockery and quickly turned the topic to Lisa.

"Haha, I can't say I'm enjoying life. But then again, Lisa, you can't have come to Xumi just for vacation, right?"

Shao Yun felt that Lisa must have been asked by the Academy of Teachings to come back to help study the Dead Zone.

But when Lisa heard Shao Yun say that he was here on vacation, she clapped her hands gently.

"You guessed it right! I really came here for vacation this time."

"Captain Qin approved a long paid vacation for me. Since it's a rare vacation, why not go on a trip and relax? How about it? Isn't it enviable?"

Shao Yun felt very strange when he heard that Lisa was really here for vacation.

You know, more than half a month ago, the Knights of Favonius had just completed the knight assessment.

Normally, this is the time when experienced veterans are needed to help new knights familiarize themselves with the business and teach them skills. So why would Lisa suddenly be given such a long paid vacation?

"Paid leave? I remember that the Knights of Favonius just recruited a group of new knights some time ago? I mean, don't you need to help guide the new members?"

"Is there no one who knows elemental powers or has a talent for alchemy?"

Lisa just shrugged with a relaxed look on her face, then explained with a smile.

"There are new knights who have elemental powers and are talented in alchemy. It's not like there aren't any."

"But those people have already been handed over to Albedo. It's not my turn as a small librarian to provide such guidance!"

After listening to her, Shao Yun thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense.

After all, based on his understanding of Lisa, it would be more reliable to let her delve into some academic topics that could arouse her interest. If she had to lead the new knights...

Not to mention whether Lisa would find an excuse to shirk the job, even if she reluctantly agreed, the new knight would probably just study on his own in the Mond Library.

Thinking of this, Shao Yun said curiously: "Well, in that case, then about your trip to Xumi this time..."

"Have you really thought it through? I mean, this place is not very safe!"

Hearing this, Lisa thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "Otherwise, why don't you tell me where else I can go?"

After saying this, she stretched out her hand, counted her fingers, and began to list the current conditions of other countries one by one.

"Let's talk about Liyue first. I've been to that place many times. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you'll get tired of it after seeing it too many times."

"As for Inazuma, we need to keep an eye on security issues. I heard that many soldiers who originally belonged to the shogunate army have become bandits!"

"I don't want to be robbed while enjoying the beautiful scenery in the wild!"

"Natha? Although those baby dragons are cute, the vacation that Jean gave me is not enough to support me to travel to such a faraway country."

"Winter? Let's not talk about the current relationship between Mondstadt and Winter. If I want to experience the freezing cold, why don't I go to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain with Eula?"

When she said this, Lisa slowly opened her arms and showed Shao Yun the brand new clothes she was wearing.

While showing them, Lisa introduced them enthusiastically: "So, there are only two places left, Fontaine and Xumi. Considering that I haven't seen my old classmates for a long time, I decided to come to Xumi."

"It's a good opportunity for me to reminisce about my wonderful student days. I took out the uniform I wore in the Ordination House and modified it a little bit. It has become the new clothes you see me wearing now. How do you think?"

After Shao Yun listened quietly to Lisa's explanation, he finally had a general understanding of Lisa's coming to Xumi.

"The clothes are beautiful." Shao Yun looked at Lisa's clothes.

"At first I thought that the Ministry of Education had rehired you, a talented lady, and I even wondered if you had been promoted to a highly respected sage or even the Great Sage who led the Ministry of Education!"

When Shao Yun praised her so generously, Lisa became more and more cheerful.

However, despite her happiness, she firmly stated that she really did not want to return to the depressing and busy abbey.

Lisa frowned slightly, crossed her arms across her chest, and said thoughtfully, "Even if the current Great Sage Azar came to Mondstadt in person to invite me to take over his position, I would never agree!

"After all, compared to working day and night on endless experimental research, I still prefer the lifestyle of starting work after 10 a.m. every day and having a fixed afternoon tea."

Having said this, Lisa slowly raised her head, looked at the ceiling of the cafe, and fell into deep thought.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes were a little blurry, and she whispered softly: "I gave up my life in Mondstadt and returned to the Order as a scholar of the Sulun School... I can no longer afford the price of seeking wisdom."

When Shao Yun heard Lisa say this, he remembered what Mona said.

Lisa's birth sign is the hourglass, which symbolizes knowledge, time and equal exchange. When a grain of sand falls, time... or life, disappears in an instant.

If you want to stop the sand from flowing, you can only lay the hourglass flat so that it will never flow.

I guess Lisa discovered something wrong when she was studying, so she left.

After all, for most people, life is the most important thing. If you lose your life, what use will all the knowledge be?

Thinking of this, Shao Yun nodded slightly to show his understanding and agreement.

After listening to Lisa's words, Shao Yun responded with emotion: "Yes, if it were me, I wouldn't trade such a leisurely and comfortable life for a mountain of gold."

"In fact, I have also imagined a different kind of life scenario, but what I thought about was opening a ranch with Ying, Paimeng, and Ying's brother, raising some horses, cows, sheep, and so on."

As the conversation got to this point, Shao Yun also described the life he wanted.

After hearing Shao Yun's wish to open a ranch, Lisa smiled and said, "I always feel that this will be more tiring than my job as a librarian! I have to worry about so many animals every day."

"But compared to your traveling all over the world, it is indeed much more stable."

Seeing that Lisa seemed to be interested in opening a ranch, Shao Yun plucked up the courage to ask, "Lisa, tell me, if I plan to open a ranch in Mond, will Captain Qin approve and allocate a piece of land to me?"

When Lisa heard this, she immediately started thinking. After a long while, she smiled and replied, "Of course! You have made so many contributions to Mond and helped us solve one problem after another."

"Qin will definitely not refuse such a reasonable request as yours to open a ranch. Who knows, by then, besides Qingquan Town, your ranch may be the only one that supplies meat in Mondstadt!"

Shao Yun became more and more excited as he listened to the bright prospects described by Lisa.

He struck while the iron was hot and boldly asked, "If everything goes as you said, can I open a ranch on that large piece of open land in Fengqidi?"

After all, the place is really wide and flat, and there is a small stream with lush grass and water, which is comparable to the environment of a pronghorn ranch. It would be a pity not to open a ranch in such a good place.

When Lisa heard that Shao Yun wanted to open a ranch in Fengqidi, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart.

After all, that was where the big Vanessa tree, which meant a lot to Mond, grew.

However, after some thought, she realized that in that vast piece of land, except for the relatively important area where the big tree was located, most of the rest of the area had always been barren.

If Shao Yunzhen could successfully open up a ranch there, it would not be a bad thing.

So, Lisa said slowly: "Well... how should I put it? If your ranch can keep a certain distance from Vanessa's big tree and ensure that it will not have any impact on it, then maybe there won't be any big problem."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but kindly remind him.

"But you have to think carefully. The south of Wind Rising Land is adjacent to Dadaupa Valley, and the safety situation is not optimistic."

After listening to Lisa's concerns, Shao Yun wondered if those Hillilians were more powerful than the Skinners and the ferocious mountain lions in the tall tree area of ​​Beecher's Wish.

Besides, even if they dare to come and cause trouble, the worst that can happen is just like the westward movement, where we can have a good fight with these hill people and scalp them!

Of course, all of this is still just in the imagination stage.

After all, it is unknown when we can actually open a ranch.

"I was just thinking about it. Opening a ranch is just an idea of ​​mine. I have been traveling with Ying and Paimon for so long, and I only found Mond to be suitable for opening a ranch."

"Besides, the Blue Wind Highlands have all been occupied by wineries and hunting grounds in Qingquan Town, leaving only the Wind Rising Land."

When Lisa heard that Shao Yun had only come up with this idea on impulse and had not yet made a specific plan, she still encouraged him and said, "Well, if you are done traveling and want to find a place to settle down, Mondstadt will always welcome you."

"As for the idea of ​​opening a ranch you mentioned, we can discuss it later. But I think it would be a good thing for Mondstadt to have another meat supplier."

Just at this moment, the acting owner of the cafe, "Enteka", came over with the food that Lisa had ordered earlier.

"Please enjoy your order."

Lisa thanked Enteka and said politely, "Please give me another portion of what I just ordered. I want to give it to the gentleman in front of me."

When Shao Yun heard Lisa calling him a gentleman, he immediately said in a disapproving tone, "I'm not a gentleman, Miss Lisa, you can't lie with your eyes open."

Lisa felt helpless as she watched Shao Yun pretending to be a gangster.

She sighed and added milk to her coffee while saying, "You, I really don't know what to say to you."
