Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1049: Xinoning: Fire elements are all bad guys

……

At this moment, Mavica walked into Sinoning's workshop dragging her broken "wheeled cart".

She had absolutely no dignity of a Fire God. She looked at Xinoning, who had a dark face and crossed his arms, with a smile on her face, and said in a delicate voice, "Ningning, Che Che, please fix it!"

Sinoning was so angry that he wanted to kill Mavica immediately!

This "scooter" was built by her own hands. Mavica rides this motorcycle around the wilderness of Nata every day. The noise makes her ears hurt, and no one can control her!

What's even more infuriating is that once the motorcycle breaks down, she'll come running to have Sinoning fix it, regardless of whether she's had any rest or not!

"No way, I just fixed it for you two days ago! How come it broke again so soon?!" Xinoning finally couldn't help it and shouted in a somewhat defensive tone.

Seeing this, Mavica showed an awkward smile on her face and quickly explained, "Oh, there's a strange noise from the engine!"

"If I don't fix it quickly, and it gets even worse and needs a major overhaul, then it will be Ningning and you who will be in trouble!"

When Xinoning heard Mavica calling him with that coquettish and repetitive word, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

The repeated words are disgusting!

"It's because you ride this motorcycle every day that it broke down! Can't you just be quiet for a few days?" Xinoning put his hands on his hips and kept complaining.

Mavica stood aside, clasping her hands together, continuing to look pitiful, and begged with a smile, "Please, Ningning, my car is broken, please help me fix it!"

At this moment, Shao Yun suddenly appeared in the workshop like a ghost.

He looked at Mavica and Sinonin in the workshop, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said jokingly: "Hey? Looks like I came at the right time."

When Xinoning saw Shao Yun coming, he immediately felt that the sky was clear!

I thought to myself, "That's great! Finally, someone can control Mavica!"

When it comes to who can control Mavica, Xinoning feels that Shao Yun is the only one in Nata.

The reason is simple. In Xinoning's impression, Shao Yun is an extraordinary person.

During Nata's war against the abyss, Shao Yun made great achievements.

Moreover, Shao Yun finally fought side by side with Mavica and together they eliminated Nata's enemies.

Nata is a country founded on military power. People have great respect for fighting and regard it as the highest etiquette.

For example, the selection of the God of Fire was achieved through fighting!

Although times have progressed and many things are no longer entirely determined by fists, combat effectiveness still has a lot of say in Nata!

In Sinoning's heart, Mavica and Shao Yun are both very powerful fighters, and to some extent they can be said to be on equal footing.

Of course, this was based on the fact that Sinoning believed that the abyss entity that was harming Nata was dealt with jointly by Shao Yun and Mavica.

If Xinoning knew that Shao Yun handled the Abyss alone... he would probably doubt his life...

At this moment, Xinoning pointed at Mavica with an anxious look on his face and shouted to Shao Yun, "Shao Yun! You're finally back! You've come just in time! Come over and take care of Mavica!"

Shao Yun was startled by Xinoning's sudden words. He pointed at himself in disbelief and said with a wry smile:

"Ah? I'm in charge of Mavica? Are you kidding me? I'll have to make a living under Mavica's thumb in the future!"

When Mavica heard Shao Yun say that he wanted to make a living under her, she was so scared that her whole body trembled. This was a big joke!

She quickly waved her hands and said, "Ah? Mr. Shao Yun, please stop joking. How can I possibly control you?"

"Come on, if you were one of us, Nata, I would think you'd be fully qualified to sit in my position as the God of Fire!"

What Mavica said was all from the heart. She highly recognized Shao Yun's abilities and felt that he definitely had the ability.

……

After a few simple jokes, Shao Yun stopped talking and said to Xinoning:

"Although I still don't quite understand what happened, I have something important to say now."

After saying that, Shao Yun turned his gaze to Xi Nuoning and continued, "Xi Nuoning, I need to hire your help with something."

When Xinoning heard that Shao Yun wanted to hire him, he asked in confusion, "Hire me? Are you commissioning me to do forging?"

Shao Yun then pointed at the unknown person named "Kavi" who had walked into the workshop with him and introduced him to Xinoning: "Yes, let me introduce you. This is Kavi, the designer of my ranch."

Kawei, who was standing next to Shao Yun, smiled and politely waved his hand. He introduced himself, "Hello, ladies. I'm Kawei, from Xumi, and I'm an architectural designer."

Sinoning's eyes fell on Kawi, and he looked him up and down. Then he said thoughtfully, "So, Mr. Shao Yun, you hired me just to build a house for you?"

Shao Yun nodded and replied affirmatively: "That's right, Kawi, you should discuss the specific matters with Sinoning in detail. After all, I don't know much about professional matters."

Seeing this, Kavi quickly took out his ranch design from his office bag and showed it to Sinoning.

He pointed to the design drawing and explained to Sinoning in detail his ideas for the ranch design, including the planning and functional layout of each area.

Then, Kavey mentioned a key issue: the laying of energy pipelines.

He explained that in order to ensure the normal operation of the ranch, a complex energy pipeline system needed to be laid underground, and he needed Sinoning's help.

After hearing what Kavi said about using "phlogiston" as the power source for the house to achieve lighting throughout the house, as well as to provide energy for water heaters, water purifiers, and various household appliances, Xinoning was stunned.

No, I'm a craftsman, not some fucking wishing-well bastard! This job is even bigger than fixing Mavica's car!

"No, hey, why do you fire types always like to give me problems?"

"Using phlogiston to power the house? Besides plumbing throughout the house, I also need to make an energy conduction matrix, an adaptive pressure valve, and a cross-band signal amplifier!"

"There are also piggy banks, buffer piggy banks! And at least a hundred other things, big and small. Do you really want to tire me to death? Impossible, I can't do it!!!"

Shao Yun stood aside, listening to Sinoning's constant stream of technical terms like "energy conduction matrix," "adaptive pressure valve," and "cross-band signal amplifier."

How to say it, she understood the more common terms such as piggy bank and buffer zone.

Although he didn't understand the specific content, Sinoning's words "impossible" and "can't be done" made him feel uneasy.

I'm afraid this is not that easy.

"Is it very difficult?" Shao Yun asked.

Sinoning nodded heavily, and scratched his hair with his right hand in annoyance, causing the hair that escaped between his fingers to stand up in a messy manner.

She stared at the "constant temperature control system" marked on the blueprint, and suddenly had an absurd idea: Why not ask the Great Spirit for a long vacation and go to Liyue or Mondstadt for a year or two? She couldn't stay in Nata for even a single day anyway!

"It's difficult!" Xinoning sighed and pointed at some items on the map.

"Your request might be quite normal in Fontaine. After all, I heard that even their underground city (Gray River) is quite advanced."

"But in Nata, let me put it this way, the office where Mave is stuck may not be as advanced as your ranch!"

Xinoning was not lying. She could invent some tools that Fontaine could not make, but she could not improve the infrastructure in all aspects by herself!

Nata's buildings are either rock houses or wooden houses... For example, Sitrali lives in a cave!

This kind of sophisticated equipment requires a continuous energy supply. Without supporting facilities, realizing the functions on the design drawing is even more difficult than growing fruit in stone.

Every step has to be built from scratch, and the effort required is no exaggeration to say that it is as hard as climbing to the sky.

Mavica had been silent the whole time, but when she saw Sinoning looking troubled, she first looked at Shao Yun deeply, with a look of earnestness in her eyes, then turned to Sinoning, slowed down her tone, and began to persuade him with both emotion and reason.

"Xinongning, Mr. Shao Yun's request is quite severe for you, but he is the hero who saved Nata. If he hadn't led us to repel the abyss, we would all be playing the Seven Sages Summoning with the Great Spirit now!"

"He just wants a decent ranch. That makes sense anyway."

Seeing that Sinoning was still unmoved, Mavica rolled her eyes and unleashed her ultimate move.

"Well, if you agree, I promise that within a month after the ranch is completed, I will never drive my scooter around Nata unless absolutely necessary!"

As she spoke, she raised her right hand as if she was swearing, and the ends of her fiery red hair swayed gently with the movement.

Sinoning's eyes lit up. One month? He was a little excited!

However, Sinoning still did not agree immediately... Isn't one month a bit too little? How about half a year?

Seeing this, Mavica simply played the emotional card.

"And, if I remember correctly, Mr. Shao Yun saved you during the battle with the Abyss!"

"You were nearly killed by that special abyss monster, and it was Mr. Shao Yun who rushed over to save you. You can't forget that, right?"

After listening to Mavica's words, Sinoning let out a long sigh.

She raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, muttering to herself: Yes, he saved my life. It would be too unreasonable not to agree to this.

"You're right. It was Mr. Shao Yun who saved me..."

She paused and added, "And I took advantage of you a little bit. Okay, I'll take this mission..."

As she spoke, her tail swept lazily over her denim shorts.

I agreed to it, but the workload is really huge!

Shao Yun looked at Xinoning's gloomy face and stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't be so gloomy. I won't treat you unfairly in terms of compensation or anything like that."

When Sinoning heard the word "reward", he just waved his hand.

To her, Mora was not really a big problem. Nata's living expenses were not high, and she could save a lot from her daily crafting commissions.

She raised her head, her eyes finally showing some light, and made her only request: "Mora and other things are trivial matters, but, during the working period, I want unlimited bitter water! And barbecue!"

When Shao Yun heard that it was just a food problem, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This was much easier than he expected.

However, when he heard the words "unlimited bitter water", he couldn't help but frown. Bitter water has such a high sugar content, it might not be a good idea to drink so much of it.

"Barbecue and the like are fine, but unlimited bitter water, do you still want your teeth?"

Upon hearing this, Xinoning bared his teeth, revealing a row of white and neat teeth.

Then, she raised her chin proudly and said, "Why are you worried? I brush my teeth every day!"

……

In short, after all this discussion, Sinoning agreed to participate in the construction of the ranch where Shao Yun would live in Nata in the future, and immediately began to discuss it with Kavi.

As for Mavica's scooter repair work? I'll talk about it after I finish my research with Kavi.

These days, you, Mavica, give me a few days of peace and quiet!

While Xinoning and Kawei were studying the blueprint, Shao Yun raised his chin towards Mavica and said in gratitude, "Thank you, Mavica."

Upon hearing this, Mavica put one hand on her waist, exuding a heroic spirit.

"You're welcome! You're a great hero of our Nata. That guy Sinoning doesn't know the key, but I know exactly who solved the abyss in the first place. It's only right that I help you with this little thing."

Then, Mavica suddenly came to her senses. Shao Yun’s return meant that his wife and children were rescued, right?

"By the way, where are your wife and children?" Mavica asked excitedly.

Shao Yun pointed outside the workshop and said, "They are doing well. They should be outside the workshop."

"Really?" Mavica's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and her face was full of urgency.

She has always been curious about what kind of woman could make a strong and outstanding man like Shao Yun care so much about her. And his child must be very cute, right?

"Then I'll go say hello to your wife and children first!"

Shao Yun nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll talk to Kawi and Xinoning about the ranch design. I want to add a dragon's nest or something."
