Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1179 The whereabouts of Dotorei

"Fake..." Gan Yu couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. She paused slightly while holding the oil-paper umbrella and explained calmly:

"You only know how to scare me... There's no point in being like this normally. The sheep form makes it easier for me to hide and observe."

"But you can't always appear as a sheep when you're out and about, right? If others see you talking to a sheep, you'll be treated like a monster and only cause more trouble."

After hearing this, Shao Yun put away his distracting thoughts, his face turned serious, and he asked directly, "Why did you come to see me like this?"

"Fake" Gan Yu gently turned the oil-paper umbrella, the patterns on the umbrella kept changing in the sunlight, and her eyes became mysterious.

"To help you. I know you've been looking for that velvet pterosaur named Keya, and I know you spent the entire afternoon searching yesterday without success."

"Your broken 'thing' can't help you, so I'm here. I can tell you where Keya is."

When Shao Yun heard that the "fake" Gan Yu wanted to help him, alarm bells immediately went off in his heart.

He had dealt with the devil before and knew very well that "there is no free lunch in the world". Since the other party offered to help, he must have some ulterior motive.

Without even thinking, he shook his head firmly and refused:

"No, I don't want to make a deal with the devil. I've learned enough lessons from dealing with the devil before. I don't want to owe an unpayable debt just for a little help."

"Fake..." Gan Yu looked at Shao Yun's tense expression, knowing that he was still wary of her intentions, and her tone became softer, full of temptation, she said:

"Don't be so nervous, I won't hurt you. My conditions are simple, just one question."

"Answer me truthfully, and I'll tell you Keya's exact location. There will be no side effects, and you won't have to pay any other price. How about that?"

She hinted at "no side effects" and "just one problem" in order to make Shao Yun let down his guard.

When Shao Yun heard that it was another "answer question," he couldn't help but grumble inwardly: Why does this scene look so familiar? Could this sheep be cosplaying as Dainsleb?

Why is it just like that guy who likes to ask "three questions", as if I'm playing some puzzle game.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes and cursed impatiently: "It's this damn problematic transaction again! Can you try something new? It's always like this, I'm almost psychologically traumatized."

The "fake" Ganyu, however, took his complaint as a tacit agreement on the "problematic deal" and said slowly, "I'll take that as your agreement."

"Actually, the question is very simple, not difficult at all. I just want to hear your opinion: What do you think is the difference between humans and dragons in Nata?"

When Shao Yun heard this question about Nataren, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at the sheep pupils of the "fake" Ganyu and asked:

"What do you mean? What exactly do you want to know? Don't play tricks on me, just speak frankly."

He would not easily jump into the trap dug by the other party. Who knows if this question would contain some textual trap like the previous devil's deal.

"Fake" Seeing that Shao Yun was unwilling to answer easily, Gan Yu further explained and put the question more bluntly.

"In other words, in your mind, which is more important, the death of a dragon or the death of a human? Is the human life more precious, or the dragon's life?"

When it sounded so simple, Shao Yun gave the most direct answer:

"I'm a human being. From a human perspective, humans are of course more important, aren't they? No matter how precious or special a dragon is, it can't be compared to a human life... At least, that's the case for me."

As a human being, he instinctively puts human life first. This has nothing to do with prejudice, it is just the simplest physiological cognition.

"Fake" Gan Yu narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing Shao Yun's answer.

She didn't immediately comment on the answer. Instead, she changed the subject and asked meaningfully, "Then, according to your thinking, where should the life of the little dragon on your ranch be placed?"

When Shao Yun heard the "fake" Ganyu talking about his little dragon "Potato Pancake", he took out his dagger and prepared to bleed the "fake" Ganyu in front of him.

This dagger has been stained with the blood of countless enemies and has also been used to peel the skins of many legendary animals. At this moment, it is tightly grasped in Shao Yun's hand, pointing directly at the chest of the "fake" Ganyu.

"If you went to such great lengths to become Ganyu's appearance just to use my family to stir up trouble and seek death, then you succeeded."

"If you dare mention my little dragon again, I'll draw your blood right now so you know what you can and can't say."

"Fake" Ganyu looked down at the dagger, her pupils shrinking slightly.

She could vaguely see a faint soul figure entwined on the blade. It was the lingering breath of the souls of countless animals and enemies, enough to prove that the owner of this knife was no good.

(Hu Tao before the resurrection of Hua years ago: Guess why I used Shao Yun's dagger in the end.)

She still pretended to be calm on her face, without any panic, but her body honestly took half a step back, putting some distance between herself and the dagger.

"Oh? But according to what you just said about 'people are more important', you really shouldn't care about your little dragons. After all, they are just dragons, not people."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking up the angry Shao Yun.

His hand holding the dagger paused, and the question asked by the "fake" Ganyu before, "Which is more important, humans or dragons", suddenly flashed through his mind, and the answer suddenly became clear.

Shao Yun put away his dagger, but remained alert. He looked at the "fake" Gan Yu and said:

"So, what you're saying is that in Nata, humans and dragons are equal on the surface, but in reality, there are situations where 'some humans are more equal' or 'some dragons are more equal'?"

"Fake" Gan Yu nodded approvingly after hearing Shao Yun's response. This was indeed the answer she wanted to know, or a realistic truth she wanted to instill in Shao Yun or make him realize it.

"Is that your answer?"

Without waiting for Shao Yun to give a clear answer, the "fake" Ganyu raised his hand and put the sunglasses back on his face, covering the special sheep eyes and leaving only a soft outline exactly the same as Ganyu.

"I am very satisfied with your answer."

Then, she held up an oil-paper umbrella, slowly turned around, and left behind a meaningful word.

"The leader has arrived. I'm leaving now. Listen to him and you'll find the velvet pterosaur."

……

The "fake" Ganyu had just taken a dozen steps when a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind him.

Tartaglia appeared?

Just as Tartaglia was about to share the information he had finally obtained with Shao Yun, he happened to see the back of the "fake" Ganyu leaving.

Tartaglia was stunned. How could Ganyu's secretary from Liyue appear in Nata?

"Mr. Shao Yun, hey... wait a minute!" Tartaglia hurriedly stopped and pointed in the direction where the "fake" Ganyu disappeared, his face full of confusion.

"Is that... that Ganyu's secretary from the Liyue Seven Stars? Why is she in Nata?"

The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. Ganyu, as the Liyue Seven Stars' right-hand man, had countless official duties to handle every day. Why would she suddenly end up on the beach in Nata? It simply didn't make sense.

When Shao Yun heard Tartaglia's question, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't tell Tartaglia that it was a female goat that could transform, right?

His eyes rolled and he lied without blushing or beating his heart. He said in a natural tone, "Oh, yes, it's Ganyu."

"You know, Shen He lives with me in Nata now. After all, she is the disciple of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, and she has always been thinking about her."

"Ganyu came this time because Liuyun asked her to check on Shenhe's situation and bring some Liyue specialties."

This reason sounds so natural and reasonable, and there is no flaw in it.

After listening to this, Tartaglia nodded subconsciously and felt that this explanation was very reasonable. But after thinking about it, he frowned again and raised a new question.

"Oh, I see! But isn't Miss Ganyu the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars?"

"She's so busy every day. When I saw her in Liyue over two years ago, she looked like she was still half asleep. How could she have the time to come all the way to Nata?"

Shao Yun had long anticipated this question, so he shrugged calmly and said as a matter of course:

"Can't I just take a day off? Think about it, Ganyu has been working in Liyue for so long, she must have saved up a lot of annual leave. Taking a day off to go out and walk around, and helping Liuyun with some errands at the same time, it's like killing two birds with one stone, how normal."

In order to prevent Tartaglia from asking further questions, Shao Yun quickly changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, why did you suddenly come to me? Did you make any new discoveries? For example, the whereabouts of the doctor, or clues about Chaska's sister, Keya?"

When asked by Shao Yun, Tartaglia slapped his head, a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he quickly said: "Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot the important thing!"

"Yes, I just ran into a researcher from the doctoral program. He was so scared when he saw me that he almost fainted. I had a hard time getting some information out of him."

He deliberately kept the question a secret, and said in an exaggerated tone, "You'll never imagine where the doctor actually put his research base!"

Shao Yun saw that Tartaglia had found the doctor's whereabouts and asked calmly, "Where?"

Tartaglia suddenly put away his joking expression, raised his hand and pointed at the sky above his head, and blurted out two words one by one.

"Heaven."

"In the sky?" Shao Yun suddenly looked up at the cloudy sky above his head and said in disbelief.

"So, he really did make Captain Wings fly? I've only heard of sailing on dry land, but I've never heard of anyone actually sending an experimental base into the sky..."

(Kukulkan's complaint: Why do I feel like you're implying something about our dragon clan's Sky Serpent Ship?)
