Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Shinjiro's eyes widened with astonishment, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was such a distinguished person.

Shao Yun remained calm, nodded slightly, and responded slowly: "If you think so, it should be."

When Shinnosuke heard this, he was overjoyed and felt that he was really lucky today to meet the legendary figure here.

So, as if he had found a life-saving straw, he quickly turned around and waved to the tavern owner Okazaki Rikuto.

"Boss, give this general another bottle of wine! It's my treat!"

Soon, a white porcelain bottle filled with fine wine and a matching wine cup were placed in front of Shao Yun.

Shao Yun looked down at the things on the table, unceremoniously picked up the bottle and poured himself a small glass.

"In the broad daylight, having a drink shouldn't be a big problem."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and felt the mellow aroma of the wine spreading in his mouth.

Shinnojo stared straight at the "big shot" in front of him, a person he thought he would probably never meet in his lifetime.

The wine made him bolder, and he stammered but with a hint of determination, he asked, "Respected General of the Coral Palace Army, do you have any suggestions for my current predicament?"

Shao Yun nonchalantly shook the wine in the cup in his hand with a half-smile on his face.

"You bought me a bottle of wine, but at this price I can only listen to you complain instead of giving you advice."

When Xin Zhicheng heard this, he originally wanted to take out some more Mora from his pocket and give Shao Yun some delicious side dishes in order to get his advice.

However, when he reached into his shriveled wallet, his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

In desperation, Shinnosuke continued in an almost pleading tone: "Please! No matter what, please give me some useful advice!"

"Qianli is about to get married. What should I do to save the situation?"

Shao Yun looked up at Xin Zhicheng's face, which was red and pitiful due to drunkenness, and also gave a very unreasonable suggestion.

"Maybe, you can pretend to be a masked robber, kill Kujo Kamajima, and then imprison your crush in your basement, provided that you have a basement at home."

After saying this, Shao Yun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xin Zhicheng widened his eyes and listened to Shao Yun's suggestion with disbelief. He felt a chill running up his spine, and instantly a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on his back.

He shook his head desperately and stammered, "This... this sounds like something that only appears in horror light novels. It's so scary!"

"Besides, I am sincere to Miss Qianli. I just want to live a good life with her, not to torture her!"

Shao Yun saw Xin Zhicheng's terrified look and shook his head.

"Haha, look how scared you are! I was just joking with you!"

After laughing enough, Shao Yun cleared his throat, put on a serious expression, and began to give Xin Zhicheng real advice.

"Honestly, you should just find another girl and forget about Chisato Hiiragi. After all, you two are not from the same world."

After hearing this, Shinnosuke silently picked up the bottle on the table and poured himself a full glass of wine.

He picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass, then put the glass down heavily.

"If it were in the past, I wouldn't even dare to think about it."

Having said that, he let out a long sigh, his voice full of helplessness and unwillingness.

"But now, the Hiiragi family has fallen into decline, and the Kujo family is not as strong as before. I feel that the gap between her and me is not so far away anymore."

Before he finished speaking, Xin Zhicheng fell to his knees with a plop, tightly grasping the corner of Shao Yun's clothes with both hands, begging desperately: "General Shao Yun, please help me! I am willing to kneel down for you!"

"As long as you can help me and let me be with Miss Qianli, I will do whatever you want me to do!"

Shao Yun reached out and grabbed his arm tightly, and with a little effort he easily lifted him back to his seat.

He asked casually, "How can I help you? Help you kill Kujo Kamaji?"

At this time, Xin Zhicheng's face was full of admiration. He looked at Shao Yun eagerly with an almost pleading look.

"I heard that the island's security manager, Zheping, used to be your subordinate. Back then, he was just an ordinary logistics staff member, but just because he once worked under you, he is now able to rise to such a high position!"

At this point, Shinnosuke paused, and then quickly added: "So, I also want to be as prominent as Teppei! I want to be an official of the Tenryo Bugyo, no matter what position it is, I will definitely not be picky!"

"As long as you are willing to help me with this, I will definitely repay you for your kindness after the matter is accomplished!"

After listening to Xin Zhicheng's words quietly, Shao Yun couldn't help but ponder in his heart. Let's not talk about your so-called self-recommendation, no matter how you look at it, it gives people the feeling of trying to get something for nothing and wanting to take advantage of others for nothing.

What's more, why should I help an irrelevant person like you for no reason?

Thinking back, Zheping gave Ying a blanket when the Coral Palace army was short of supplies. It was reasonable for me to help him rise to prominence intentionally or not.

But you, Shinji Cheng, we have absolutely no relationship at all.

Moreover, in the end, even if I really help you a lot, what can you give in return?

Can you enforce justice and let me flee far away, or can you beat the devil?

The breath stinks worse than the athlete's foot from the fermented insoles.

Shao Yun took a sip of wine and said calmly: "I am just a nominal general, don't think too highly of me, and I don't like politics."

When Xin Zhicheng heard this, he thought it was just Shao Yun's overly humble statement.

So he hurriedly put on a smile and started to flatter the master in a fawning manner.

"Don't be so self-deprecating. For someone as powerful as you, even if you can give me just a tiny bit of opportunity, it would be enough to change my life forever!"

After listening to this, Shao Yun also understood Xin Zhicheng's current psychological activities clearly.

Then, he continued slowly: "In the final analysis, it is actually the inferiority complex caused by the difference in status."

"Back then, when you were just an unknown nobody, you had no right to pursue that lady from a prestigious family, Miss Hiiragi Chisato."

"But now, the Hiiragi family has fallen due to the impact of the 'wave of the times'. You think you can do it."

Xin Zhicheng was left speechless by Shao Yun's merciless words, and his face turned blue and red.

After a long while, he finally caught his breath and said with a disappointed look on his face: "Not everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. You are successful and famous, and you are in the upper class. Naturally, you can't understand the difficulties and helplessness of ordinary people like us at the bottom of society!"

Shao Yun looked at Xin Zhicheng and told him a very cruel reality.

"But this is the reality. It's not a fairy tale where a princess of one country is engaged to a prince of another country, but falls in love with her squire knight along the way and then elopes with the knight regardless of everything."

He paused, and then continued: "But then again, your situation is not like that of ordinary people. After all, you are a 'knight' after all..."

After a moment, Shao Yun seriously made a suggestion to Xin Zhicheng.

"Now I suggest you buy a boat ticket and go to Kaijima, or go to another country to change your appearance and forget about Chisato Hiiragi."

However, after hearing these words, Shinnosuke suddenly became excited.

He slammed the counter in front of him with a loud bang, and shouted angrily, "No! I will never give up like this! Today, Chisato Hiiragi is no longer the high and mighty fairy tale princess!"

Faced with such a fierce reaction from Xin Zhicheng, Shao Yun continued to expose the only remaining fantasy in Xin Zhicheng's heart.

"Yes, even though she is no longer the noble princess, don't forget that she is still accompanied by an equally down-and-out prince."

Shao Yun shook his head helplessly and sighed, "This is reality. Some people live in mansions, are wealthy, and enjoy wealth and splendor; while others live on the streets, sleeping in the open, and lead a life of poverty and destitution."

"Some people are surrounded by three wives and four concubines, living a carefree and happy life; while others are destined to be lonely and miserable and live out their lives in solitude."

"The only thing I can do is to make myself and the people I care about live well."

After saying that, Shao Yun stood up, smiled and patted Xin Zhicheng on the shoulder.

"Thank you for the drink. I won't drink your wine for nothing."

After saying that, Shao Yun waved his hand casually, and then quickly took out a bulging bag from his arms.

Shao Yun threw it hard towards the boss behind the counter. With a light "pop" sound, the bag landed steadily on the counter.

"Boss, I've paid for his drinks. There should be some Mora left. The next thing this guy named Shinnosuke orders will be deducted from this."

Afterwards, Shao Yun turned around and left without looking back.

Watching Shao Yun leave, Xin Zhicheng couldn't help but clench his fists. His knuckles turned slightly white due to excessive force.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot.

Under the influence of alcohol, Shinnosuke muttered: "I have to give it a try! I can't just give up like this!"

……

However, what Xin Zhicheng was thinking and doing at this moment had nothing to do with Shao Yun who had just left.

On the other side, Shao Yun left Wuyou Pavilion and walked past the reception desk of the Adventurer's Association in Inazuma City. Miss Catherine, who had been busy, inadvertently caught a glimpse of him.

She immediately stopped what she was doing and shouted anxiously, "Mr. Tacitus Kilgore, please wait a moment! Here is an urgent letter for you that needs to be signed."

Shao Yun couldn't help but stop and look in the direction of the sound.

"This letter is sent to you from Xumi." Catherine said as she waved the letter.

Shao Yun was a little surprised and muttered to himself.

"I didn't go through the handover procedures, how did this letter somehow get to Inazuma? It's really weird!"

With full of doubts, Shao Yun took the letter, tore open the envelope, and quickly scanned the letter paper.

There was only one short line of words in the entire letter.

"I have already reached an agreement with Mr. Cethos. It's urgent. Come quickly. - Candice"

Seeing this line of words, Shao Yun couldn't help but frowned, his eyes twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Wow, this can't be such a coincidence? You actually came to me at this critical moment..."
