Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

When Shao Yun saw this news, he didn't know what to think. This piece of trash hadn't updated his equipment for a long time.

Shao Yun pursed his lips somewhat melancholy, weighing the consequences and impacts of the options.

After carefully listening to the truest thoughts in his heart, Shao Yun chose the first option in front of him.

It is impossible for Noelle to maintain her innocence and simplicity forever. After going through so many trials and tribulations, it is indeed time to give her a precious opportunity to become a formal knight.

"I firmly believe that Noelle will grow up to be an extremely outstanding knight. Her great contribution to the city of Mondstadt is obvious to all."

"We should train her and guide her well. I fully believe that with her hard work and talent, Noelle will be able to become the next leader of the Knights and lead the Knights."

Why the next one? Because Qin will be the next leader.

After hearing Shao Yun's confident words, Captain Qin nodded slightly.

She gently put the score sheet in her hand back on the neat table and said slowly, "Okay, I have understood your views and expectations of Miss Noelle."

"Thank you for your hard work today, taking care of Keli all the time."

……

The moment Shao Yun left Captain Qin's office, the lantern floating beside him seemed to sense something and flickered slightly.

Then, Alice's familiar and slightly lively voice came out.

"Haha, can we continue our daytime topic now?"

Shao Yun just shrugged indifferently and said, "Since you want to reshape my ideas so much, let me see your abilities."

……

After leaving the Knights' headquarters, Shao Yun took the lantern that emitted a faint light and walked into an alley in a residential area.

At this moment, seeing that there was no light around him, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of tranquility in his heart.

This is a good place to talk about things.

He turned his head slightly and said to the lamp floating beside him: "This place is really quiet, suitable for discussing things."

And inside the lantern, Alice's voice began to persuade directly without any hesitation or dragging.

"To make a long story short, I will provide you with a very special set of torture instruments. They are not the kind that can easily kill someone, but they are powerful enough to make anyone suffer extreme pain after being tortured."

"Besides, I can also give you a wonderful book that tells you how to torture people. As long as you torture people according to the methods recorded in this book, believe me, you will definitely fall in love with the unique feeling brought by torturing people."

Shao Yun lit up an exquisite cigar, took a deep puff, and then slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke. He then proposed a seemingly more compromising and safe method.

"Ms. Alice, can you tell me how I can kill people to prevent the demon from taking away the souls that should have ascended to the sky? This way you can save a set of torture instruments."

Alice sounded a little embarrassed, and she said helplessly: "How should I put it? The method you mentioned is the best. I really don't care about you killing people."

"As long as the souls you killed can eventually ascend to the sky, it will be fine. But I really don't have the extra time to study these things. This is just a stopgap measure, do you understand?"

Shao Yun held a cigar between his legs and narrowed his eyes slightly. A cunning light flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly asked: "If it's just like this, I can't guarantee that... that demon can accurately grasp my weakness every time."

Alice, who was holding the lantern, fell into deep thought for a moment.

After a while, she backed off and said with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Well, until I can come up with a definite way for you to kill people without taking away souls to strengthen Teyvat's borders, I will temporarily let you do as I ask. After all, the current situation is indeed a bit tricky."

After listening to Alice's words quietly, Shao Yun nodded slightly at first, as if agreeing with her proposal, but then shook his head violently.

A more sophisticated plan quickly flashed through his mind, a plan that might completely change the current situation.

"Or, you should think fundamentally about the root cause of my murder." Shao Yun took a deep puff of the cigar, and the rich smell of tobacco spread in his mouth.

He exhaled smoke and looked at the lantern with a meaningful look.

"You can go talk to Xumi, Fontaine, Nata and the 'powerful ones' of Zhidong, and tell them not to provoke us again, so that we can finish this journey in peace."

"When that time comes, we will find a quiet place to settle down and live a peaceful and stable life. By then, I will have no reason or need to kill anyone."

Upon hearing this sudden suggestion, Alice on the other side suddenly felt a headache.

She frowned, a trace of helplessness and anger flashed in her eyes, and she muttered, "You're going too far! You're forcing me!"

Then, she cleared her throat and continued, "Although I think I am quite strong, I am still far from being strong enough to make the entire Seven Kingdoms give me face..."

Shao Yun did not give up after hearing this, and soon thought of another better plan, a plan that could solve all the problems.

"Or you can use your magical power of traveling through the world to send us to a paradise-like world far away from the worldly disputes. Then we can live a peaceful and happy life in peace. Moreover, I am confident that I can trick my eldest brother Kong out again."

Alice, who was chatting with Shao Yun through the lantern, was almost choked by his words and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart that this method could indeed solve the problem of you killing people and stealing their souls, but you also solved the problem of Teyvat.

That terrible abyss has been lurking outside the borders of Teyvat!

She even began to seriously consider the feasibility of the first plan proposed by Shao Yun...

……

Alice said to Shao Yun seriously: "On this point, I absolutely cannot agree to you! Ying has the power to eliminate the abyss. She is the key to saving Teyvat. Teyvat is in great need of this power now."

After listening to Alice's words, Shao Yun's eyes twitched involuntarily.

Why does this sound so awkward? You need Ying, but you can't even offer her real money. Isn't this a bit too much?

Then he took a deep puff of the cigar in his hand and responded with obvious displeasure in his tone: "Of course I know what you are talking about, about the purification of Tevarin Dragon Tears by Fluorescence. But your words make me feel very uncomfortable!"

As soon as Alice noticed the displeasure in Shao Yun's tone, she immediately realized that what she had just said might be offensive, so she quickly adjusted the direction of the topic to ease the atmosphere.

"Well, let me put it another way. You've been with Ying for so long, you should know something about her abilities. Gemini has the same ability as me, being able to travel among the stars. But now, you also know."

"Even if I send you to a world outside Teyvat as you wish, don't you need to consider the feelings and opinions of your girlfriend Ying?"

When Shao Yun heard Alice bring the topic to Ying's basic needs, his anger immediately subsided a lot.

"Yes, as you said, Ying did mention it to me." He nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, Shao Yun thought that if someone stole his beloved horses, Luobo, Boadicea or Ying's Buel, he would kill the horse thief at all costs and take the horse back.

He could fully understand this emotion.

When Alice heard Shao Yun's tone soften, she immediately seized the opportunity to ask further questions.

"So, what's your answer? Are you willing to agree to it?"

Shao Yun took a deep puff of the cigar, then threw it on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

"You should pray to God that those stupid people don't challenge my bottom line."

When Alice heard this, she was delighted and asked hurriedly, "You mean, you agree?"

Shao Yun replied meaningfully: "The purpose of murder and arson is just a means to pursue a better world. If murder and arson affect the outcome, it is the inversion of cause and effect... But the premise is that no one touches my bottom line, otherwise..."

Then, Shao Yun pretended to be threatening and said, "Bang!!! Hahaha. When I decide to kill someone, I really don't care about the consequences."

Then, Shao Yun mentioned his experience with Inazuma.

"You should have heard about Inazuma. I am determined to kill this guy. Even if Ying comes to stop me, I will choose him without hesitation..."

At the end of his words, Shao Yun crossed his index and middle fingers on his left hand. He didn't care whether the lantern could transmit his image to Alice.

After listening to Shao Yun's words, Alice followed his meaning and said confusedly: "Then I will assume that we have reached an agreement. When you arrive in Xumi, go to Casazale Palace and find a little girl named Dolly."

"When the time comes, you just need to tell her my name 'Alice' and she will know what to do. I will mail the torture instruments to her, and when you want to torture someone, just follow the steps in the book."

After thinking carefully, Shao Yun did not say some words completely, but responded lightly: "Well, I understand. However, you still have to find a way as soon as possible to stop the demon from taking away the souls that ascended to the sky when I killed people."

"I can't guarantee that before you find a solution, the demon won't offer me a deal I can't refuse."

After hearing Shao Yun's words, Alice felt a little relieved, but there was still a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"I will do my best to find a solution as soon as possible."

Then, Alice changed the subject.

"And as compensation to you, I will have Dolly give you something special when the time comes."

When Shao Yun heard Alice say that she wanted to give him something special, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh? What is that?"

Alice replied meaningfully: "Don't worry, that thing is specially prepared for you and Ying, you will like it..."
