Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After Shao Yun finished his dinner, Candice placed him in the village chief's house.

As night falls, the whole Aru Village is shrouded in a layer of quiet black. The desert at night is still very cold, completely different from the daytime.

Shao Yun lay in bed, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep.

At this moment, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[You can choose to help Candice patrol the night, or continue to lie down and wait for sleepiness. ]

[Help Candice: No impact for now. ]

【Go to sleep directly: no effect. 】

Looking at these two bland options in front of him, Shao Yun no longer knew how to evaluate them.

"You, at least give me an automatic weapon like the M1899! At worst, a LeMat revolver will do. How can I be interested in helping you when you offer nothing in your hands?"

However, no matter how Shao Yun complained, the system was like a mute and did not respond.

Helpless, Shao Yun could only sigh and slowly sat up from the bed.

Although he chose the former, he still kept muttering, "It's so mysterious. I don't understand what's going on. They also said that there is no impact for the time being. If you want me to help, just tell me directly..."

"Forget it, forget it. I can't sleep anyway, so I might as well go out and take a look."

So, Shao Yun stood up, adjusted his Eastern Legend suit, and then walked towards the entrance of Aru Village according to the instructions given by the system.

……

Shao Yun walked on the bumpy road of Aru Village, taking one step deep and one step shallow, with the help of the moonlight.

After a while, he arrived at the entrance of the village.

From afar, I saw Candice sitting quietly alone on a big rock. Next to her stood a strangely shaped long-handled weapon called the "Red Sand Staff" that emitted a faint light.

Candice seemed to sense someone approaching and raised her head slightly. When she saw that the person was Shao Yun, a trace of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she asked softly, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Shao Yun scratched his head, found a seemingly reasonable excuse, and said, "I couldn't sleep at night, so I just came out for a walk to get some fresh air. Why are you still sitting outside?"

After saying that, his eyes fell on Candice.

Candice smiled slightly, raised her hand and gently patted the shield on her left hand, explaining, "I am on night patrol, carefully checking for possible threats lurking near the village, and then dealing with them to ensure the safety of Aru Village."

Shao Yun nodded thoughtfully, stretched out his right hand and touched his chin. After a little thought, he took the initiative to ask: "Do you need me to lend you a hand or something? More people means more care."

When Candice heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled gently.

"Thank you for wanting to accompany me on night patrol. However, Dishia and I are enough to handle these things."

"Besides, your current health... I think it would be better for you to go back to your room and have a good rest. Don't overwork yourself."

Seeing that Candice politely rejected his kindness, Shao Yun did not give up, but continued: "It's okay, just consider it as a small reward for you giving me the medicine."

"By the way, your medicine really works."

Upon hearing this, Candice quickly waved her hand and said, "You're too polite! Taking care of patients is my job, so there's no question of whether I should be rewarded or not."

"Besides, you are a guest of Aru Village. How can we ask guests to help with the work and stay up late to suffer?"

Seeing that Candice still had no intention of agreeing, Shao Yun recalled what Dixia had said to him when they were chatting a few days ago.

He thought for a moment, changed his words a little, and then said to Candice, "I can't sleep anyway. Just like Dixia said, if I just lie in bed like this, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Hearing Shao Yun say this, Candice couldn't help but be slightly startled. After thinking about it, she agreed: "Okay, since you want to take a walk, you can walk with me."

"But if you are sick, don't push yourself. If you feel tired, take a rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, Candice waved her arm and pulled out the "Red Sand Staff" that was standing on the ground.

Holding a long staff, she raised her chin towards Shao Yun gracefully, indicating that he should follow her steps.

Seeing this, Shao Yun blew a clear and long whistle.

Not long after, the Andalusian horse "Luo Bo" with light pink fur and a sturdy body came galloping from a distance and stopped beside Shao Yun.

Shao Yun turned over, jumped onto the horse's back and sat on the saddle.

He turned to look at Candice and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, this little illness won't make me feel forced."

Seeing that Shao Yun had a horse to ride as a means of transportation, Candice's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly returned to normal and didn't say anything else.

So, the two of them began to patrol Aru Village, one in front and one behind.

Along the way, Candice introduced Shao Yun to the various situations of this village...

As they chatted, Candice suddenly asked with interest: "By the way, how did you and Dixia know each other?"

When Shao Yun, who was riding on a horse at the time, heard this, he paused for a moment and recalled.

"It was a few days ago. I'm not sure about the exact time. The location was at the Lambertton Tavern in Xumi City. Coincidentally, she mistook me for a bandit who had kidnapped the daughter of her employer."

When Candice heard that Dixia mistook Shao Yun for a bad guy, she couldn't help but ask, "And then? Did she just push you to the ground?"

After all, Dixia has outstanding skills and is one of the most prominent figures in the vast desert.

Therefore, Candice almost subconsciously concluded that Shao Yun was definitely no match for Dixia, and must have suffered a great loss.

After hearing this description, Shao Yun hesitated for a moment, and then responded calmly: "Uh... well, the facts are exactly the opposite of what you think. In fact, I pushed her to the ground directly."

Hearing this, Candice was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes widened involuntarily.

"You were able to subdue her and pin her to the ground even when you were sick? Then when you are fully recovered, won't you be unimaginably powerful?"

Seeing Candice's reaction, Shao Yun just smiled faintly and explained slowly: "Well... probably the level where I can easily remove a person's eyeballs with my bare hands, or directly hit the other person's skull so that it is deeply dented. Although I can do that now..."

Having said that, seeing that Candice was still calm, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the unusual woman in front of him, and asked softly, "You seem very calm, not surprised at all."

"Most of the people I met in Xumi City looked like weak scholars. As long as you scare them with a few harsh words, they will raise their hands obediently and let others manipulate them, just like lambs to be slaughtered."

Shao Yun's words actually contained some preconceived prejudices and stereotypes, but there are indeed many scholars in Xumi City.

Hearing Shao Yun's comments, Candice smiled faintly, and then calmly explained: "I have dealt with many monsters that want to attack the village, treasure-stealing groups, and those vicious gilded brigades."

"In fierce battles, I have witnessed many times the bright red blood flowing out of human bodies, and even saw internal organs being torn apart. These scenes are already commonplace to me, so naturally I am not easily frightened."

As she spoke, Candice unconsciously clenched her fists.

"For what I hold dear, this is what a guardian should do."

Just then, a little boy suddenly ran towards this side with a panicked look.

He was seen running desperately, shouting loudly: "Sister Candice, it's bad! It's bad!"

Candice looked over when she heard the voice, and when she saw that the person coming was little Isaac from the village, her face instantly became solemn.

She stood up quickly, walked over quickly, squatted down, and asked gently and anxiously: "What's wrong, Isaac? Did something happen to your grandfather? Tell your sister quickly!"

Candice originally thought that something had happened to the crazy scholar "Khalil".

Just as she was secretly thinking about how to deal with it, she saw Isaac was so tired that he was out of breath. He was panting and shaking his head desperately.

"It's not my grandfather's business! There's a group of treasure robbers robbing our village's warehouse!"

Upon hearing this, Candice's heart skipped a beat and she secretly said "Oh no!"

But years of experience allowed her to calm down quickly and she did not panic.

"These treasure-stealing groups must have seen Dixia leading the caravan to Aru Village, so they set their sights on the warehouse. No, we must go over and support them!"

The current situation is that the treasure-stealing group is only interested in the warehouse, not in entering the village. The warehouse is some distance away from the village, so the villagers should not encounter any problems.

Thinking of this, Candice made a prompt decision and told Isaac earnestly, "Isaac, listen to me, go home and hide now, don't run around again, just let me handle this."

Isaac nodded vigorously to show that he understood, then turned and ran towards home.

After watching Isaac leave safely, Candice slowly stood up and looked at Shao Yun who was riding on horseback.

"I need to go to the warehouse for support! How are you feeling?"

Shao Yun skillfully grasped the reins with one hand and quickly pulled out the Litchfield rifle with the other hand.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. If these treasure-stealing groups want to steal things, they should be prepared to be hanged."

Shao Yun kicked the horse's belly with a little force, followed Candice, and galloped towards the warehouse in Aru Village. The sound of horse hooves echoed on the road, raising clouds of dust.

Just as they were about to reach the warehouse, suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of them—Dixia.

She also heard the news that the warehouse was attacked by a group of treasure robbers, so she hurried over.

The three of them looked at each other and understood each other.

Dixia was the first to ask, "Let me guess, do you two also know that the warehouse in Aru Village was attacked by the treasure-stealing group?"

Candice didn't waste any time and answered concisely: "Yes, you guessed it right, let's speed up!"

Soon, the three finally arrived at the warehouse of Aru Village.

I saw a sturdy villager from Aru village holding a sharp scimitar and fighting fiercely with the attacking treasure-stealing group.

He was agile and every time he swung his scimitar, it was done with fierce momentum, forcing the enemy to retreat again and again.

Candice saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but feel a little relieved. She quickly said to the two people beside her: "I saw Habachi! From the current situation, it seems that the treasure-stealing group has not been able to rush into the warehouse yet."

Hearing the name "Habaqi", Shao Yun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Who? Habaqi?"

When Shao Yun learned that it was Habachi who was fighting with the treasure-stealing group, he was immediately relieved. If it weren't for Candice and Dishia, Shao Yun would have just watched the show.

(Habaqi: In Xumi, you call me Habaqi, and I won’t argue with you, but in Fontaine and Nata, you should call me a local legend.)

The treasure-stealing group VS the Xumi local legend.

At this moment, a crucial issue stood before Shao Yun.

One Habachi and ten treasure-stealing groups, who surrounded whom?

The answer is the Treasure Stealing Group! Because seven members of the Treasure Stealing Group had already been chopped to the ground by Habachi, the remaining three members of the Treasure Stealing Group, facing such a fierce opponent, had already become timid and began to retreat.

At this moment, Shao Yun, Dixia and Candice arrived at the warehouse in Aru Village.

Candice shouted to Habach who was fighting in front of her: "Habach, we are coming!"

Hearing this, Habachi was overjoyed, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the only three remaining members of the treasure-stealing group, and he did not dare to relax at all.

"Miss Candice, you are finally here!" Then, he swung the scimitar in his hand violently, with a flash of cold light and endless murderous intent.

Then, he casually wiped off the blood of the treasure-stealing group that splashed on his cheek, looked at the three members of the treasure-stealing group who were already showing fear, and said with a sneer: "Humph, now you can't use your numbers to bully the few! Prepare to die!"

Shao Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Habachi said. If they had come even one minute later, the remaining three members of the treasure-stealing group would have followed in the footsteps of their companions and been killed by you, Habachi.

You are using your numbers to bully the minority. Do you really think that your title of "Sumeru God of War" is a fake one?
