Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Just as the three were about to enjoy this sumptuous dinner, suddenly, a villager from Aru Village hurried in.

As soon as the villager entered the door, he walked straight towards Candice and said anxiously, "Miss Candice, I'm sorry to bother you. But there are some things here that I don't know how to sort and organize. Could you please come over and help me take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Candice was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head to look at the food in front of her that she had not yet eaten, with a hint of helplessness on her face.

But soon, she gently put down the cutlery in her hand and responded: "Oh, okay, no problem. I'll go over and take a look right away."

Just as Candice was about to stand up to deal with it, Dixia quickly stopped her and volunteered, "Oh, let me go!"

Dixia was so proactive that Candice couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "Hey, Dixia, you just came to Aru Village, why are you so eager to do things for me? Is there something you want to ask me for help?"

Facing Candice's direct questioning, Dixia scratched her head a little embarrassedly, laughed dryly twice and replied: "Hehe, you really guessed it right!"

Hearing this, Candice's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.

Then she sat back in her chair with a clear conscience and said slowly, "In that case, let's have a good chat after you finish helping me."

Seeing Candice's reaction, Dixia was overjoyed. After thanking her repeatedly, she immediately turned around and walked out of the room quickly, muttering, "Great, thank you! I'll leave right away!"

In the blink of an eye, Candice and Shao Yun were the only ones left in the room.

……

After Shao Yun finished his meal, Candice took out a small bowl from the kitchen and gently handed it to Shao Yun.

"Here, drink this too."

Shao Yun stared at the bowl in front of him curiously, and saw a black liquid in it that was constantly emitting hot steam.

He looked up at Candice with a suspicious look on his face, and asked in confusion: "What...what on earth is this? Is it coffee?"

Coffee shouldn't be this dark, shouldn't it be dark brown? Could it be black coffee?

Candice shook her head gently and explained patiently: "This is medicine. You are sick. Drink it. It will be good for your body."

Upon hearing that Candice could tell that he was sick at a glance, Shao Yun asked in confusion: "How did you know that? You know, except for you, no one else noticed that I was sick!"

Candice remained calm and explained slowly: "It's nothing special, it's just my experience."

"As the guardian of Aru Village, I will take good care of the elderly, children, and desert people from other places who are sent to Aru Village if they are sick."

She paused for a moment, then added, "In addition, the Order Institute sometimes sends here patients with magic scale disease or insane scholars."

"Every time I receive these patients, I will carefully examine them and then let them stay in the village and become one of us. This is how Isaac's grandfather, Khalil, came here."

At this point, Candice raised her finger and pointed at her unique heterochromatic pupils, and continued: "Of course, after saying so much, I think the most important reason may be the unique perception ability I possess."

"I sense the faint aura of decay emanating from you... well, perhaps you can call it an innate talent."

Shao Yun looked at the bowl of medicine in front of him that Candice had carefully prepared for him. Although it looked pitch black, it gave off a faint and strange fragrance.

At this moment, a detailed prompt message suddenly popped up on the system.

[A bowl of medicine that can strengthen the body, carefully prepared using the ancient medical technology that has been passed down for a long time in desert civilization. Its unique formula and exquisite craftsmanship make this medicine have extraordinary effects. ]

[Effect: Equivalent to a powerful magical supplement. ]

[Note: Strong magical supplements are second-level strengthening potions, and special magical supplements are third-level strengthening potions.]

Seeing that this was a powerful magical tonic, Shao Yun picked up the bowl and drank the liquid in it.

After drinking it, he licked the remaining medicine at the corner of his mouth with his tongue, and then sincerely thanked Candice.

"Thank you for the medicine. I feel much better after drinking it."

Candice took the empty bowl and reminded softly, "You're welcome, but I'm afraid the effect of this medicine won't be fully manifested so quickly."

Hearing Candice say this, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel emotional.

He raised his head slightly, lost in reminiscence, and murmured to himself: "You really remind me of a very good person. His situation is quite similar to yours."

"The group he belongs to has also suffered discrimination and prejudice from some people. Moreover, like you, he has the responsibility of taking care of many people."

When Candice heard this, she was immediately filled with curiosity and asked, "Oh? Who is this person you are talking about?"

Shao Yun pursed his lips slightly, his thoughts were pulled back to the time when he met the great Indian chief. He told Candice his story.

"His name is Luoyu, and his full name is Luoyu Foer. At first I thought he was weak and pitiful, but as time went by and I got to know him better, I found that he was just an unfortunate man who was in a world beyond his control."

"He is a good man who is thoughtful and kind-hearted. It's a pity... you probably won't be able to meet him again."

After all, they have already moved north to Canada with their own people.

Candice looked at the complicated expression on Shao Yun's face, guessing that this person might have passed away, and she couldn't help but look sad.

"Really? That's a shame... After hearing your description, I was looking forward to meeting him in person."

Shao Yun didn't want to continue to immerse himself in the memories of Luo Yu, so he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, when we were at the entrance of the village just now, you and Dixia..."

When Candice heard Shao Yun mention this, she quickly explained with a smile: "Oh, you are talking about that incident! It's actually not a big deal."

"I was just mad at her for not sending me a letter or a message to let me know if she was okay in the past six months. Don't misunderstand that I'm mad at her! I have a very good relationship with her."

Shao Yun just wanted to change the topic, but when he heard Candice say that, he nodded and said, "I see, the relationship between you two is pretty good!"

……

After a long time, Dixia came back.

She took big strides and sat down on the chair without any hesitation, then stretched her limbs. She looked very casual and relaxed.

"Finally, the work is done! I was originally wondering what rare thing could have caused everyone in Aru Village to be so busy, but after all this time, it turns out to be just those smuggled books."

When he heard the word "book", Shao Yun, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Books? Maybe I've gotten so used to seeing those people in Xumi City using the Void Terminal all day that I've even forgotten this way of acquiring knowledge."

When Dixia heard this, she immediately became alert. She sat up straight, crossed her arms, and agreed seriously, "That's right! The people in the damned Order House don't allow people like us who live in the desert to wear void terminals to gain knowledge.

"So for us desert people, if we want to learn some real skills and gain some useful knowledge, we can only rely on reading books."

Dixia seemed to suddenly remember something and started complaining angrily again.

"Humph! It's all the fault of the Great Sage and his gang of bad guys from the Order of the Lords. Just because we are from the desert, they arbitrarily deprive us of the right to acquire knowledge. This is too unfair!"

"If the gap continues like this, some radical desert people and rainforest people will really start fighting."

After hearing this, Candice frowned slightly and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Don't say such things in the village! It will not be good for Xumi if the desert Xumi people and the rainforest Xumi people fight!"

Seeing Candice's face turn ugly, Dixia's heart tightened, and she quickly said apologetically: "Sorry. I forgot your rules. I am just used to being careless. Sorry."

"Don't take it personally, Candice! I'm just like you. I don't like fighting or anything like that."

"And I have been working hard in another way to help the children living in the desert gain knowledge. You know this..."

Seeing Dixia's sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes, Candice sighed softly, shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I know you are not that kind of person. It's just that I'm upset recently because of those rumors that the Red King is going to revive and attack the rain forest."

Seeing that Candice was not really angry, Dixia immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, Candice, I don't think the warehouse in Aru Village is suitable for storing these books for a long time."

"In my opinion, we should prepare a place specifically for storing books."

Candice replied, "I see. I'll see if I can find a way to build a library in the village to store the books you brought."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Eat it while it's hot. Your food is almost cold!"
