Genshin Impact: Opening a store to draw cards is exciting

"How about this, how about you make a deal with me?"

Chen Xiao crossed his legs and swallowed the biscuits that had dried into crumbs in his mouth. He endured the pain of a blade scraping his throat and spoke.

Catalina nibbled the biscuit in her hand bit by bit, raised her head and glanced at Chen Xiao curiously.

Didn't seem to understand what the deal was.

What can I do to trade with him?

"What do I have to trade with you? You should be a strong man in Liyue, or a powerful adventurer. I may not have anything good to exchange with you."

"What's wrong? Aren't you one of them?"

Chen Xiao pointed at her. Katarina was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly her whole body trembled violently. She quickly stepped back and leaned back.

It was like he was avoiding a demon. No, it was more like the expression of a pervert.

"You, you, you, you are so young, what are you thinking about?"

"I feel like you might be overthinking it. I'm a small business owner who runs a shop, and my family is always short of people to help run the shop. I need manpower."

Chen Xiao's words made Katarina feel a little relieved.

But then he perked up his guard again and looked at Chen Xiao in front of him, feeling as if he was looking at a big bad wolf wagging its tail.

He was looking at her with the eyes of his prey.

"You, what are you planning?"

"The Fatui will make a big move soon, which will make the life of the Fatui in Liyue Harbor much more difficult. Besides, I don't hate you, Team 19, that's all."

What Chen Xiao said was quite true, but the woman in front of him was still very wary.

She confirmed again and again that Chen Xiao had no real intention of taking her body.

He didn't continue to care about anything, but really started to think about whether what Chen Xiao said made sense.

If possible, she also wanted to leave this damn place. After all, it seemed like the higher-ups had forgotten about their team here.

Moreover, working in this dark underground environment, their supply lines have been cut off for who knows how long.

The supplies that are still available on hand are basically obtained from nearby adventurers.

No matter what means are used, as long as it can be obtained, it doesn't matter.

Chen Xiao clapped his hands, stuffed the last biscuit into his mouth, and looked at Katarina with a hesitant expression.

Just as he was about to stand up from the cave, his head hit the roof.

He grimaced in pain and squatted down again.

"Shh, it really hurts... It's so low here, isn't it troublesome to live here?"

Katarina hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her.

I looked around the surroundings again and saw the sleeping bunk made of hay that was built who knows how long ago.

There were all kinds of messy items on the ground around her, and there seemed to be a little light of disillusionment in her eyes.

As the light of the exploration lamp flickered on and off.

"I... still want to go check on my brother first."

"Of course no problem, come on, I'll take you out."

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand towards the light, and that hand seemed to be emitting a soft glow.

Katarina picked up the lantern beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then, in the light of the fire, placed her hand together with the glowing palm.

The next moment, the surrounding space dimmed, as if a strange change had occurred.

She hadn't known when she was standing there, looking around with a dazed expression.

In other words, she looked blankly at the dim cave around her.

In front of him was a platform that looked like an abyss, and underneath was filled with filthy, sticky liquid brought by the creatures from the abyss.

The pungent smell hit her in the face, and Katarina couldn't help but cover her nose.

This smell was so strong that it was the first time she felt it in the cave.

However, her gaze suddenly froze, because there seemed to be a familiar object in the pool of liquid, reflecting a familiar light.

"Nicholas's... badge, that's the badge of the Fatui..."

She wanted to jump down desperately, but Chen Xiao grabbed her arm, then flipped his hand and directly fished out the blood-stained badge.

The sludge was automatically dissolved, and the palm-sized badge was the proof of the Fatui's survival.

Chen Xiao picked it up, held it in his hand, and handed it to Katarina.

Katarina stretched out her hand and took the badge with trembling hands. Tears had already accumulated in her eyes and were slowly sliding down from under her mask.

Her hands were shaking and her tears couldn't stop falling.

Holding it in the palm of his hand, he watched her as if she had lost all her strength and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Nicholas... You are great, you are a man, you have not brought shame to Her Majesty the Queen, you have not let me down... You are not a deserter..."

Her voice was filled with obvious tears and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

But at this moment, the sound of armor colliding came from below.

Katarina looked up and saw a group of armored monsters from the Black Snake Clan approaching.

These monsters only have cores but no bodies, but the aura they exude is not inferior to any monster here.

As they walked over, the man in armor holding a sword in the lead had a long sword in his hand that was still stained with blood that had not been wiped off.

Katarina's breathing suddenly stopped for a moment, and the mask on her face was pulled off by her.

It seemed as if he wanted to see clearly the blood-stained color on the swords in the hands of the black snakes.

The next moment, her breathing became heavy, and veins appeared on her pretty face, even though she looked extremely tired due to her weak body.

At this moment, he also revealed an expression of extreme hatred and anger.

“It’s them, it’s them——!”

"Indeed, if nothing unexpected happens, it was the Black Snakes who killed your brother."

Chen Xiao said calmly, and Katarina beside him suddenly grabbed the lantern at hand.

She wanted to take revenge with her own hands, to avenge her brother Nicholas with her own hands.

Even though they are not biological siblings, they grew up together in the orphanage called Hearth House.

They are not biological siblings, but they will become each other's indispensable companions in the future.

She would not allow the monster who killed her brother to live.

As long as there is breath.

Seeing her about to rush out, Chen Xiao suddenly stood up and pointed a finger at Katarina's body.

Right now, the most suitable path for her is the hunting path.

And at this moment, bestowing her with the power of destiny will enable her to use her own power even more terrifyingly.

Sure enough, the next moment, sharp lightning flashed from Katarina's body.

Each flash of lightning cut through the surrounding rocks and everything around.

It also made the black snakes below notice Katarina's presence.

The archer behind him prepared instantly, drew his bow and arrow, aiming at where Katarina was.
