Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, I felt all my fatigue disappeared after finishing the meal.

"This is the second most delicious thing I have ever eaten." Shao Yun exclaimed sincerely.

After hearing this, Noelle showed a puzzled expression and asked, "What's the most delicious thing?"

Shao Yun fell into memories, with the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he tasted the original grilled fish with a strong fishy smell again, and then shared with Noelle what happened when he just met Ying and Paimon.

Speaking of the grilled fish that Ying handed over that day, Shao Yun's mouth curled up slightly, as if with a faint aftertaste. He slowly evaluated the taste of the grilled fish he tasted that day.

"To be honest, the fish she grilled was not really delicious, with a fishy smell that was hard to swallow. But at that moment, I was eating it like crazy, and I even swallowed the fish bones."

After saying this, Shao Yun looked up at the sky, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, and he continued to add.

"Noelle, can you understand that feeling? When a person is starving and almost dying, even if the soup is made of rotten cabbage, sour tofu, and burnt millet rice crust, it will become extremely delicious and even praised as Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. The taste and state of mind I had at that time are really hard to describe in words now."

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Noelle said with empathy: "I understand."

There was a hint of resonance in her voice, as if she was also touched by the special situation described by Shao Yun.

Then her eyes revealed curiosity and exploration about Shao Yun's experience, as if she wanted to understand more deeply why he chose to embark on the journey with Ying and Paimon.

So he asked again: "Is this why you traveled with Ying and Paimon? Just because of a fish, nothing else?"

Shao Yun lowered his eyes slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.

His brows knitted slightly, weighing various factors in his heart. After a while, he raised his head, nodded firmly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's a big part of the reason." There was a frank feeling in his voice.

"After all, I have nowhere to go. Since Ying is willing to take me with her, I'll follow her." He finally said, with a hint of gratitude and relief in his tone.

After saying this, he did not forget to add something jokingly.

"If she hadn't taken me in, you would probably have seen me in the treasure-stealing group by now. I might have frequently visited the wealthy families in Mondstadt!"

It was just a joke. Noelle was slightly stunned after hearing it, and then she smiled brighter than the sun.

"Hahaha, we really have to thank the Knight of Honor, otherwise Mondstadt would not have a good day."

Looking at Noel's smile, Shao Yun began to imagine another way to come to Teyvat.

When they came to Teyvat, they met two people similar to Dutch and Hosea when they were desperate, and formed a new gang. They robbed the rich to help the poor, robbed houses, and searched for the Tahiti in their dreams, but finally fell apart and went to destruction again.

Shao Yun smiled bitterly and scratched his head when he thought of this.

After talking about his own affairs, Shao Yun naturally turned the topic to Noel.

"Noelle, to be honest, I admire you." Shao Yun's voice was full of sincerity. "You took the exam so many times and still didn't give up. This kind of perseverance and determination is not something that ordinary people can have. If it were me, I would have given up long ago."

He paused, then joked, "By the way, has no one ever told you that there is an age limit for the knight assessment?

After Noelle heard Shao Yun's words, an awkward smile appeared on her face. She scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly:

"Really not. Maybe it's because of Spark Knight. No one told me. I always thought there was no age limit."

Afterwards, Shao Yun turned the topic to people of the same age as Noel.

Curiously asked, "Among your peers in Mond, are you the only one who has been concentrating on participating in the knight examination?"

Hearing this, Noelle shook his head slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Many people of my age are also working hard to pursue their dreams. However, there are not many people like me who insist on taking the knight exam despite being rejected many times. Most people in my situation would probably choose a more relaxed and comfortable lifestyle, such as the Adventurer's Association."

When talking about the Adventurer's Guild, Noelle suddenly thought of something, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he told a related interesting story.

"A month ago, President Serius came to me specifically, hoping that I could join the Adventurer's Guild. He also said that with my ability, within five years, I could become a great adventurer on par with the great Mondstadt adventurer Stanley."

Shao Yun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He was poaching people from the Knights Order, so he wasn't afraid of being beaten up by the Knights!

"President Serius is really interesting. He actually wants to recruit you to join the Adventurer's Guild."

Speaking of this, Shao Yun was also a little confused. The title of great adventurer was more famous than the official knight of the Knights Templar. Why didn't he accept it?

"But speaking of which, Noelle, have you ever considered joining the Adventurer's Guild? Perhaps life there would be more suitable for you."

Noelle shook her head without hesitation, her voice revealing her persistence in her dream. "Although President Serius is very enthusiastic and the treatment offered by the Adventurer's Association is also very generous, my heart has always been towards the dream of becoming a knight. That has been my dream since I was a child, and it is the goal I have been working hard for."

She turned her head and cast her gaze towards the Knights' headquarters in the distance.

Over the years, in her heart, that place has become a symbol of her dream. Something that you want to do from the bottom of your heart cannot be given up just like that.

"After your teaching, I have a clearer understanding of my own strength. I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, I will be able to pass the next knight assessment!"

Shao Yun looked at Noelle's fighting spirit and couldn't help but be infected. He praised: "Well, it's a good thing to be firm in your dreams."

He even joked, "If you fail the next knight assessment, I will slap the examiner in the face! If you can't even become a knight when you are mature, then the Knights may as well disband."

The words were full of humor and teasing, but more of it was encouragement and support for Noelle.

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Noelle couldn't help laughing out loud. She knew Shao Yun was joking, but this concern and support made her feel extremely warm and touched.

At this moment, in the distance, a bright red figure cut through the sky like a burning flame.

Shao Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure in the air, muttering in his heart, who messed with Diluk? What the hell is this? Can I draw a lottery?

The red figure instantly closed the distance to the ground and fell at an astonishing, even crazy, and life-threatening speed?

Judging from the landing point, it seemed to be rushing towards where the two were, like a meteor out of control.

"Noelle, run!"

The two of them immediately stood up and stepped back. The next second, the person flying down from the sky suddenly crashed into the dining table next to them.

Suddenly, the dining table broke into pieces, with debris scattering everywhere, creating a mess.

Then, the figure crashed into the furnace next to it. The furnace collapsed under the huge impact, the fire splashed and a cloud of dust was raised.

In the dust, the red figure was lying on the ground, revealing messy hair and a dusty face. It was impossible to recognize whose face it was.

Shao Yun coughed, brushed off the dust on his body, and shouted angrily: "Pah, pah, pah, who are you! How did you get a pilot's license! You rushed around so recklessly, you almost knocked us off the ground!"

The man lying on the ground was now out of breath, with only his lips moving slightly as he mumbled weakly.

“Please…”

Shao Yun was already filled with anger, thinking that this person was trying to beg for mercy. He was furious, thinking: "It doesn't matter who I beg, it won't work. I must report to the Knights to revoke your license..."

However, Shao Yun moved closer and carefully identified the person on the ground.

This sight made Shao Yun stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. The man with dusty face and miserable appearance turned out to be Amber!

The anger in Shao Yun's heart instantly dissipated, replaced by surprise and worry. He quickly squatted down and asked with concern: "Amber, what happened to you?"

Amber pulled up Shao Yun's trouser legs, raised his head with difficulty, a weak light flashed in his eyes, and said with his tongue straightened:

"Hichou people, hichou people..."

Oh yes, the Hilichurls, the most basic monster in Teyvat, are listed as magical units that can be found everywhere in Teyvat, along with the Fatui and Mint. That thing shouldn't make you so panicked, right?

He immediately helped Amber up and let her sit on a chair nearby.

If you fall from a height, even if you don't break your legs, you will still injure your internal organs.

Seeing that Amber was seriously injured, Shao Yun took out the healing medicine from his backpack and fed it to her in one gulp.

"Stop talking, you look seriously injured. Come, drink some of this." Shao Yun said with concern.

However, Amber frowned and began to dry heave in pain.

"Ugh~ It's so bitter, ugh."

Shao Yun was even more worried when he saw this. He gently patted Amber's back and comforted her.

"Bear with it. Although this medicine is bitter, drink it and I guarantee you will be fine."

With Shao Yun's comfort, Amber gradually stopped retching and mustered up the courage to drink the healing medicine.

After a while, her health did improve a little, but her face was still pale and she looked weak.

Noel patted Amber's back to calm her down. Even after drinking the healing medicine, Amber's face was still pale, as if she was about to faint.

He said worriedly: "Don't worry, it's just a few hillbillies. If you can't handle it, I'll help you."

Amber's face was pale. Even if she drank the healing medicine, it would take some time for it to be absorbed in her current condition. During this period, she would still have to endure unspeakable pain.

Her eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up in her eye sockets, as if they would burst out at any time.

After hearing Noelle's words, she shook her head slightly, her voice trembling: "It's not just a few hillbillies..."

Noelle frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking it was a small-scale tribe of Hillichul people.

"Are there more than a dozen of them? It's just a small tribe. We should be able to handle it if we call a few more knights."

Hearing Noel's words, Amber's brows furrowed again. She shook her head slightly, denying Noel's guess.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement.

"It's not a dozen," she said with difficulty, each word seemed to carry a heavy burden, "it's... ahem..."

Suddenly, a violent cough interrupted her words. Amber bent down, covered her chest with both hands, and started coughing violently. Her face became even paler, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Shao Yun stared at Amber and his heart tightened. Could it be that this healing medicine was taking a long time to take effect?

So, he decisively took out a bottle of ordinary magic supplement from his backpack and poured it into Amber's mouth again.

If this still doesn't work, increase the dosage step by step!

Amber retched again after drinking the supplement, but her face became a little rosy, at least she saw the effect.

Seeing that she was getting a little better, Shao Yun continued according to Noelle's instructions.

"If it's not a dozen, then there are dozens. It's really a bit tricky."

He patted the denim revolver on his waist and said confidently.

"But don't worry, I'll help you, it's just a matter of firing a few shots."

Amber took a deep breath, and suddenly her hands fell on Shao Yun's cheeks like lightning, and she said with fear on her face.

"There are tens of thousands of Qiuqiu people!" She spoke clearly, and every word was like a stone thrown into Shao Yun's heart, causing ripples.

Although her voice was not loud, it was filled with unquestionable determination and urgency that could not be ignored.

"All the Hilichurls in Mondstadt are approaching Mondstadt!" Her words were like a thunder, exploding in Shao Yun's ears.

Her hands were still pressed tightly against Shao Yun's cheeks, as if she wanted to imprint this sense of urgency and crisis deeply into his heart.

Shao Yun was so shocked by Amber's words and actions that he was speechless. He stared at Amber's serious and determined face with wide eyes. It was no lie that he could feel Amber's nervousness and anxiety.

Shao Yun remembered the system's prompt, "This is an important main quest, please treat it with caution!" It turned out that it was not Noelle's thanks at all, but the attack of the Hillichurls on Mondstadt!

"Oh, damn!"

Shao Yun immediately took out a telescope from his backpack and looked outside the city.

However, when he looked around, he could not see any trace of the Hill people that Amber had mentioned, whether in the nearby plains or the dense forests and winding mountains in the distance.

Shao Yun couldn't help but feel a little confused, but when she turned around and saw Amber's serious and determined expression, she realized that there was no way she was joking.

"Are you sure? Why can't I see it?" Shao Yun put down the telescope and looked at Amber with a frown.

Amber nodded, her eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.

"Those Hillbillies are still a little far from Mondstadt. I estimate that they will appear in sight after the sun sets. I dare not rest along the way. I have already notified the nearest Qingquan Town."

When Shao Yun heard this, he looked up at the sunset in the distance. The fiery red sun was slowly sinking, which meant that in less than an hour, those hill people would appear in their sight.

"What the hell is going on..."
