Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

The tall-hatted man took over the conversation and said to Shao Yun, "Don't underestimate this girl who looks like a child. She knows a lot. Haven't you noticed that she has been lying to you?"

Shao Yun stared at the demon with wide eyes, looking at him in disbelief, and asked, "What do you mean?"

The man in the tall hat turned his sinister gaze to Nashida who was silent beside him, and then turned back to continue explaining to Shao Yun.

"The witch who talked to her told her everything that happened to you. Do you really think that witch only told her the conversation between you and another witch, which was just a little information?"

When Shao Yun heard this, he recalled everything Nashida had said to him before, and he knew that what this demon said was true.

Shao Yun looked at Nashida, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked: "Which of your words are true and which are false? Don't play tricks on me..."

Nashida seemed unusually calm. She emphasized again with a blank expression: "Now is not the time for us to chat! We will talk later!"

Shao Yun looked at the tall-hatted man standing not far away and then turned his gaze to Nashida and whispered, "Okay, you two talk first."

Just like that, Shao Yun quietly stepped aside and became a silent background board.

The man in the top hat raised his chin slightly, stared at Nashida coldly, and continued without emotion: "Let's get back to the topic we are discussing. Now that you know what those stupid sheep are trying to achieve, let's distinguish which ones are goats and which ones are sheep."

However, no matter how the demon in front of her tried to seduce her, Nashida remained calm and responded calmly: "As one of the seven rulers of the mortal world and the god of the land of Xumi, I will never do anything to harm the people of Xumi!"

The man in the tall hat sneered coldly, "Kindness is often seen as cowardice, and toughness is often mistaken for cruelty. You are the god of wisdom, not just a kind heart. A god should act like a god."

"Otherwise, some arrogant guys might really naively believe that they can do anything with their insignificant strength!"

Hearing these words, the originally soft grass-green light in Nashida's eyes suddenly became brighter and more dazzling.

She stared at the demon closely and retorted: "After all this talk, in the final analysis, you just want to force me to give up some of the Xumi people!"

The man in the tall hat shook his head slightly, his expression still unchanged. He slowly explained, "I never asked you to give up anything. I just wanted to make a fair deal with you using these people."

Nashida was stunned when she heard this, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Transaction?"

The man in the flattering hat began to explain the deal. "You see, I have the power to grant other people's wishes. As long as the deal is fair and reasonable, I can satisfy any request."

"And judging from your current condition, curing the extremely difficult demonic scale disease is almost an impossible task."

After hearing this, Nashida couldn't help but recall that the magic scale disease suffered by Dinazede and Cole was inexplicably alleviated to a certain extent.

She bit her lower lip and refused seriously, "I will definitely find a way to completely cure the magic scale disease. I don't need your help at all. Please leave here immediately! I am definitely not joking when I say this."

Seeing that the deal was about to end, the man in the tall hat did not give up easily. Instead, he continued to persuade Nashida: "Believe me, if you don't agree to me now, you will regret it. At that time, you will pay a price you never expected."

Then the man in the tall hat began to mutter to himself again.

"Don't underestimate it. When a person is facing the threat of death, they will take horrific and extreme measures to continue living."

These seemingly plain words, at first glance, seemed to be directed at Nashida, but after careful consideration, they made people feel as if they were spoken to Shao Yun who was standing next to her.

As soon as he finished speaking, before the two of them could react, the man in the top hat disappeared without a trace, leaving only a faint strange smell in the air.

……

The moment the demon disappeared, Shao Yun couldn't help but cough twice.

"Cough cough!"

The system pops up a mechanical prompt.

[Your condition has worsened. From now on, the effects of the Eastern Legend Set will not be able to keep your three core values ​​in the best condition. You need to eat and rest to recover.]

After seeing this news, Shao Yun knew that the last words of this demon were directed at him, and it also began its plan.

"Damn it." Shao Yun cursed in a low voice.

At this moment, Nashida's eyes, which were originally flashing with grass-green light, gradually faded.

Then, she looked at Shao Yun with a serious expression and said in a very serious tone: "Mr. Shao Yun, if you help me solve the problem of Xumi, in exchange, I will give you the sixth seat of the Fatui executive officer. Is this deal okay?"

Hearing this, Shao Yun was stunned for a moment. He even suspected that he had misheard what Nashida had just said. What did the great sage Nashida say?

"what?"

Nashida raised her head slightly, met Shao Yun's eyes, and repeated solemnly: "I said, if you help me, I will hand over the scattered soldiers to you! Isn't this what you came to Xumi to do?"

After hearing these words, Shao Yun subconsciously reached out his hand to wipe his lips.

Then, he calmed himself down and asked with a hint of uncertainty: "Are you really not kidding?"

Nashida continued to stare at Shao Yun's eyes, and responded in a very serious manner: "Do you think from my appearance and expression, I seem to be joking with you?"

"I know very well what your real intention is in coming to Xumi this time. At the same time, I have personally experienced how terrifying the 'demon' you mentioned is!"

"Well, since you want to kill the scattered soldiers and I want to save Xumi, we have the same goal, so why don't we work together?"

Afterwards, Nashida gave the reasons why she wanted to cooperate with Shao Yun.

"You are much easier to satisfy than those guys behind you! From all aspects, the cost-effectiveness of cooperating with you is undoubtedly the highest!"

After listening to the reasons given by Nashida, Shao Yun still had some concerns in his heart.

"But how can I be sure that you won't suddenly show mercy? Maybe at that time, you will even persuade me to be more generous and show mercy to the enemy."

After saying that, Shao Yun stared at Nashida closely, trying to catch some clues from her expression.

Hearing this, Nashida pointed her slender finger at her face and asked in a serious tone, "Look at me now. Do I look like I'm kidding you?"

Shao Yun looked at Nashida's sincere eyes and realized that the grass god in front of him was not joking.

So he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this cruel environment can really change a person easily.

Nashida, who was once kind enough to "cut flesh to feed the eagle", now has to make concessions.

When faced with the choice of killing a group of people or just one person, she finally chose to compromise...

Seeing that Nashida had clearly stood on the same front with him, Shao Yun relaxed his tense nerves a little.

"Well, if that's the case, then fine. Actually, if you think about it carefully, we do have room for cooperation in some areas. So what do you want me to do next?"

When Nashida saw that Shao Yun finally agreed, she finally felt relieved.

She breathed a sigh of relief and instructed in an orderly manner: "First of all, you just need to follow my arrangements. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any loss."

Shao Yun touched his throat and kindly reminded: "Okay, but I have to tell you in advance that the terrible devil will never give up easily."

"So, you must complete your entire plan before it successfully lures me!"

Nashida nodded to show that she understood what Shao Yun said.

Then, she turned her gaze to the meditation device that had imprisoned her, and said thoughtfully, "First of all, I plan to make some changes and adjustments to the meditation device of the Great Compassion Tree King."

"I need to transform it into a device that can serve as both my command center and my protection. Then I need to rescue the Xumi people from the dream of reincarnation first."

Shao Yun looked at Nashida and saw that she was still thinking about getting back into the "birdcage". He teased her, "Do you want to be locked in this cage again? Is your brain abnormal because you've been breathing too much fresh air recently?"

Faced with Shao Yun's pain, Nashida did not stop studying the Great Compassion Tree King's meditation device.

While carefully observing every detail of the device, she calmly replied, "Right now, the timing is not yet ripe. It is not the time to have a showdown with the House of Lords."

"Although I have a general understanding of the Great Sage's intentions, I still know very little about the specific circumstances. Therefore, it is the wisest choice to temporarily use the Great Compassion Tree King's meditation device to provide cover and formulate a strategy."

"And I heard from the witch named N in the Witch Society that the second and sixth seats of the Fatui are both in Xumi! It's not a good idea to confront them head-on now."

Hearing that Nashida also knew that the Fatui executive "Doctor" was in Xumi, Shao Yun casually mentioned some related things.

"I heard from a fool when I was at Vimalakirti that the second-ranked fellow was called 'Doctor'? He seemed to be an exile from your Order House."

Nashida began to tinker with the meditation device, changing something and responded, "I know, Miss Witch 'N' also told me..."

Having said this, Nashida suddenly paused and quickly changed the subject.

"Anyway, the situation now is that I need to know how to interpret what Ying told me about what she heard in the World Tree, 'The world, forget me'."

"In addition, I must know the details of the God-making plan of the Decree House, as well as the specific location of the Great Sage's God-making workshop."

"But the trouble is that these people all intentionally don't wear void terminals, so I can't find any useful information in the void at all."

When Nashida mentioned the words "the world has forgotten me", Shao Yun understood that this was what Ying wanted to communicate with Nashida at that time...

Then, Shao Yun suggested: "Why don't you just let me rush into the Church and capture the Great Sage? In my hands, even a statue can be made to sing its secrets."

Hearing this, Nashida couldn't help but look embarrassed. She shook her head slightly and responded helplessly: "No, Shao Yun. What I hope for is a result that can be resolved with as little bloodshed as possible."

"Sumeru cannot repeat the mistakes of the Inazuma Civil War. Otherwise...the Ice God's plan..."

"Although I don't know what the Ice God said after the incident in Kanriya, but... since the Wind God and the Rock God both agreed, I won't make things worse..."

When Shao Yun heard that Nashida even knew about this, he asked curiously, "Did the witch codenamed 'N' tell you about the Ice God?"

However, as soon as he said this, he put on an indifferent look, waved his hand, and said jokingly: "Forget it, I don't care how you know..."

"But don't tell me in the end that you are going to hold a debate, using your eloquent tongue and your boundless love to convince and defeat some great sage."

Upon hearing this, Nashida's hand, which was modifying the meditation device, suddenly stopped.

Then she didn't want to explain too much, but simply responded: "Don't worry, you will get the reward you deserve!"

"After that, you just need to live your life peacefully and don't worry about anything else. I will let you know when I need your help!"

Seeing that Nashida made such a firm promise, Shao Yun didn't know what to say.

"Since you are so confident, then obey my command! Nashida, command!" After saying that, he stood aside with his arms folded, quietly watching Nashida continue to be busy.
