Genshin Impact: I, who only wanted to play badly, have become famous
Chapter 162: White Snow (2)
Upon seeing this scene, the treasure-hunting group was stunned. The leader of the group looked up at the big net formed by the vines and his nose started running.
"Boss, I'm afraid we've hit a wall this time. Could he really be Young Master Ye Luo?"
"I don't believe it. How could I be so unlucky? I was in jail for three months because I tried to steal from a merchant last time and failed. I met Ye Luo right after I was released. How could I be so unlucky? I don't believe it. I absolutely don't believe it!"
Ye Luo warned them, "It's snowing so hard and the weather is so cold. I don't want to bother with you any more. What you stole this time was my stuff and it didn't cause any big social impact. I can pretend that nothing happened."
"But if you still insist on doing what you want, I don't mind wasting some time to send you to the Yujing Terrace or Yuehai Pavilion. There are places in the prison that are most suitable for you."
Shen He complained: "After talking for so long, you still have to take action in the end. Young Master Ye Luo, your negotiation skills are outstanding..."
Ye Luo was also embarrassed and coughed lightly: "Everyone, you are all tall and strong, why don't you do something else but make a living by stealing? Why don't you steal something valuable instead of staring at this little profit? Let me tell you something unpleasant, is the food in my field enough for dozens of you to support your families..."
"Stop making sarcastic remarks. Do you think we want this?"
The leader of the treasure-stealing group raised his knife indignantly, then put it down angrily: "The population of Liyue Port is fixed and has not changed over the years. It is extremely difficult to obtain a household registration there. The price of a fixed property is beyond our imagination."
Ye Luo blinked: "I...seem to understand this."
"In theory, Liyue is so big that we don't have to squeeze into Liyue Harbor, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. But there is still no place for us to stay in other places!"
"In Bishuiyuan, everyone lives off the land and the water, but if you want to farm there you need to own a house, and we can't afford it."
"In Chenyu Valley, only businesses related to tea can survive, but the tea houses there have been passed down from generation to generation. We, a group of outsiders, are not qualified to open a business there at all."
"In Lisha Suburb, we can only live by the endless forest, but it is in the forbidden forest period, and we can't hunt or cut down trees. The laws of Liyue have completely stopped us from doing that."
"Even in the 'Sandstone Chasm', we don't have the qualifications to work as laborers there. They use work experience as a barrier to us and don't allow us to work as mining workers. But we don't even have the opportunity to go in, so where can we get work experience..."
Ye Luo heard the complaints of the treasure-stealing group, and he frowned and remained silent.
"Emperor Geo is the patron saint of Liyue and the creator of all Mora on the continent of Teyvat. This really proves that in this place, people like us who have no connections and no money can only live in misery for the rest of our lives..."
Ye Luo was about to refute, but when he looked at Shen He beside him, and then thought about himself, he could only sigh.
"Well, since you sound so pitiful, I'll give you a chance."
"What opportunity?" the treasure-hunting group asked hurriedly.
The leader of the treasure-stealing group shouted, "Just listen to his boasting. What chance can he give you? Do you think he is really Young Master Ye Luo?"
Ye Luo was in no hurry to explain: "Let's have a competition, best of three. If you can beat us in two games, you can take all the things, and I promise not to report to the police. Let's just pretend we've never seen it before, and I'll pretend that the heavy snow destroyed all the food, how about that."
The leader of the treasure-stealing group thought about it and continued to ask: "What if you win?"
Ye Luo said: "Then you should go to jail and accept labor reform. You will lose your freedom. You can only come out when your sentence is over!"
"This is the situation now. If you force your way in, I can guarantee that you won't be able to get through. There are only two possible outcomes for you."
Ye Luo smiled slyly: "Fight with us honestly. If you win, you can leave, but if you lose, you can't leave."
"Boss, do you want to compete with him?"
"Boss, make up your mind!"
"Boss, we can't go back to jail."
"Stop arguing!" The leader of the treasure-stealing group turned to Ye Luo and said, "Whether you are Young Master Ye Luo or not, we have agreed to this competition. If we win, you'd better fulfill your promise. Otherwise, we will fight you to the death even if it means our lives!"
Ye Luo nodded: "Of course, I am a man of my word and will never break my promise! Do you need to find a witness and hold a witness ceremony?"
"It's not that troublesome. Just tell me what to compete in. Let's make it clear first that the content of the competition must be fair and just. It must be something that both of us are good at. No favoritism can be shown."
Ye Luo was indeed sincere: "Don't worry, I guarantee that we are all good at these things, or rather, as a treasure-hunting group that often needs to survive in the wild, you are even better at this."
The leader of the treasure-stealing group asked with a hint of suspicion: "Best of three games, then just tell me what these three games are about."
Ye Luo smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about the first item first, ice skating. Do you dare to compete?"
"Ice skating?" The treasure-hunting group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ye Luo gave a more concise answer: "Just find a large enough piece of ice, determine a finish line, and then whoever of us reaches the finish line first wins!"
The treasure-hunting group laughed loudly, and the leader of the group shouted directly: "Isn't it just a competition of who can run faster on ice? You're skating, and you're making it so mysterious. Boy, let me tell you, we often have to run on all kinds of complicated terrains. Compared to this, you have no advantage at all."
At this time, a stutterer in the treasure-stealing group stood up and said, "Boss... let me... compete with them. I dare not say anything else. As for running away... I have always been the best at it."
The leader of the treasure-stealing group nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Although you are not good at talking, your legs and feet are quite nimble. Let you compete with him!"
Shen He held Ye Luo's hand and said, "Young Master Ye Luo, are you sure? Otherwise, let me do it. Although I may not be able to win, my God's Eye will definitely be of some help."
Ye Luo patted Shen He's hand: "Don't worry, Miss Shen He, we won't lose, I have a secret weapon."
As he spoke, Ye Luo sat down on the spot, took out a few sharp blades from his pocket, and tied them to the soles of his shoes with vines.
