Chapter 930 The location of the ranch was finally finalized.
One week after Shao Yun and Xiao reached an agreement, in the evening, in the restaurant area of the House of Burnout at the Holy Fire Arena.
At this moment, Shao Yun and Xitlalli were sitting opposite each other at the dining table, but don’t get me wrong, these two were not eating, they were playing the “Seven Saints Summons”!
At noon today, I don’t know what kind of evil spirit came over Xitlal, but she suddenly found Shao Yun with a box of "Seven Saints Summons" cards and asked him to play cards with her.
Of course Shao Yun disagreed. Why would he bother playing this thing when he had nothing better to do?
As a result, when Xitlal saw that Shao Yun refused, she immediately "threatened" Shao Yun with the news of the ranch site selection.
It was called a "threat", but in fact, Xitrali just cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide, begging Shao Yun to play this game with him.
Shao Yun had no choice but to agree...
Originally, Shao Yun thought that playing with Xitlalli for one or two rounds would be over.
As a result, we played until the evening...
Shao Yun didn't know how he had managed to get through the entire afternoon!
At this moment, Xitlal looked at the cards and elemental dice in her hand with a smile on her face, and then turned her eyes to Shao Yun who had just announced the "end of this round". She raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "So, this is your choice?"
Shao Yun nodded expressionlessly and responded weakly: "Yeah, can't you see that I don't have any dice anymore?"
Seeing this, Xitela Li couldn't help but burst into a smug laugh and said, "Oh, then you are doomed to fail!"
Shao Yun helplessly watched as Xitrali's character card successfully killed his own character card with a slight health advantage at the last moment, feeling depressed.
How long has this been going on?
He could only throw the skill card in his hand onto the table like trash, and couldn't help but complain:
"Well... this is too outrageous... I really shouldn't have agreed to play cards with you. I've been playing with you for a whole afternoon, so you should at least tell me the news about the location of the ranch!"
Shao Yun was really tired at this moment. His energy had been exhausted by this long game of cards.
The last time I played cards so intensely was when I completed the Gambler's Challenge...
However, Xitela Li was obviously not satisfied yet. Seeing that Shao Yun wanted to give up, she hurriedly persuaded him:
"Haha, don't give up so quickly. Let's play one more round. I will definitely tell you when the next round is over!"
When Shao Yun heard that they had to continue playing cards, he felt like his heart was about to stop beating at this moment.
Sitrali, do you want to listen to what you are saying? You said the same thing four hours ago, and now it's evening!
He secretly groaned in his heart. He had already played cards for a whole afternoon!
Don't you, Xitila, like reading novels? How come you are addicted to playing cards?
"I've been playing for the whole afternoon, at least thirty rounds! Auntie, please have mercy on me and let me go! I'm really going crazy from the torture!"
Shao Yun clasped his hands together, showing a very rare gesture.
"Please tell me the location of the ranch as soon as possible, please!"
However, just as Shao Yun was begging for mercy, Mavica happened to come to the restaurant area of the House of Ennui to look for food.
She immediately spotted Shao Yun and Xitlalli who were performing the Seven Saints Summoning, and like a curious kitten, she approached them with great interest.
Mavica's eyes fell on the Seven Summoning Cards on the table and she asked curiously, "Yo? What are you playing?"
As soon as Sitrali saw Mavica, she excitedly introduced the game "Seven Summonings" to her.
"Mavica, do you want to try the Seven Summonings? This game is really fun!"
Upon hearing this, Mavica tilted her head, looked at Xitrali suspiciously, and asked in confusion: "Seven Summonings? What the hell is that?"
Seeing that Mavica seemed to know very little about the game "Seven Summonings", Xitrali suddenly became interested and began to explain it incessantly.
"Don't you know? That's right, I heard from the bookstall owner that this game is not very popular in Nata."
At this point, Xitelali coughed lightly and explained:
"How should I put it? I was wandering around a bookstall in our Smoker Lord tribe and came across a novel called 'The Summoning King'. I thought it was quite interesting, so I bought it."
"I didn't expect that the merchant would give me a joint game called 'Seven Summonings'! I played it just to give it a try, but I got addicted right away!"
Shao Yun, who was standing by, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "She's addicted to her. She insisted on dragging me along to play with her, and even threatened me with news about the ranch!"
"Mavica, you have to make the decision for me. No one is as unreasonable as her!"
Mavica looked at Shao Yun, who was being tortured by Xitlari and was in great pain. She smiled awkwardly and comforted him, "This... is really difficult for you..."
Shao Yun leaned back in his chair with a look of despair on his face, complaining, "I just wanted to know the news about the location of the ranch. Do you have to torture me like this?"
He complained out loud, but was secretly groaning in his heart.
"I thought I wouldn't play cards so intensely after the Gambler's Challenge..."
At this moment, a prompt box suddenly popped up on the system.
[No way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, are you going to play the knife-piercing game with Xitlari? ]
When Shao Yun heard about the sharp knife piercing his fingers, he immediately became excited.
"You can have this!"
When the system saw that Shao Yun was really going to play the knife-and-fingers game with Xitrali, all the codes in it trembled.
[You must be really hungry. How about I play a gambler's challenge with you? ]
Shao Yun looked at the dialog box that popped up that said "Gambler's Challenge" and was so scared that his thighs started to cramp.
He really didn't want to recall that past...
"Forget it, I'd rather play Seven Summonings. Damn Gambler 8, 9, 10, they almost killed me!"
……
Mavica looked at Shao Yun who was suffering from the "Seven Holy Summons" and felt a trace of pity in her heart. She frowned slightly, with a look of concern in her eyes.
She walked to Shao Yun, patted his shoulder, and whispered to Xitila, "Okay, Grandma Xitila, Mr. Shao Yun has played with you for the whole afternoon. You should tell him about the location of the ranch."
Seeing that Mavica had spoken, Sitrali could only reluctantly end the game that had attracted her so much.
"Well, since Mavica said so... ahem, based on my search these days, I found the most suitable place!"
When Shao Yun saw that he finally talked about the ranch, he was cheered up and his eyes, which had been a little dim, instantly became bright.
He straightened up, clasped his hands together, and asked expectantly, "Where?"
Xitlari looked at Shao Yun, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile.
She deliberately kept the question a secret and said slowly, "During the Abyss War, the camp for the wounded of the Hanging Wood People, do you remember?"
When Shao Yun heard that the camp for the injured of the Xuanmu people was actually the site of his ranch, he was stunned and thought to himself: "What does this mean? Are they going to demolish it?"
He looked at Xitila with suspicion and asked, "What do you mean? The camp for the wounded of the Hanging Wood people is the location of my ranch?"
Sitrali took out a map of Nata from her bag calmly and spread it gently on the table.
She pointed to the injured hut of the Hanging Woodman on the map and explained to Shao Yun:
"According to my research, this is the only place in the whole of Nata where the land is relatively flat, and there is also a water source nearby. Look, how great this place is!"
Shao Yun followed Xitlal's finger and carefully examined the location on the map. He began to wonder.
This land is indeed relatively flat compared to Nata, but it is still a slope no matter how you look at it.
As for the water source, the river over there is clearly in the canyon, not on the riverside at all.
When the time comes to graze, do I have to drive my own cattle (Varesa) and sheep (Ganyu) north along the road until I reach a place where the terrain is gentle and the water flow is stable? "
Despite this, Shao Yun knew in his heart that although this location was not entirely satisfactory, it was indeed the best place that Xitrali had tried her best to find for herself.
After all, in a place like Nata, it is very difficult to find a place comparable to the Wind Rising Land in Mondstadt.
The place where the wind rises is really Shao Yun's dream place! It's a place you want to be in your dreams, but it's a pity that if it's destined to be there, it will eventually come to you, and if it's not destined to be there, don't force it.
After fully considering the natural factors, Shao Yun began to turn his attention to human factors.
He asked with a worried look on his face: "But that place... belongs to the Hanging Woodman..."
Are we going to launch a westward movement?
Mavica anticipated Shao Yun's concerns and assured him, "You don't have to worry about that at all. Everything will be arranged when the time comes!"
"You have helped Nata, so it won't be difficult to open a ranch for you if you are given a piece of land outside the Hanging Wood."
Hearing Mavica's solemn promise, Shao Yun finally felt relieved.
Since you don't have to worry about the demolition issue, there won't be too many obstacles in other aspects.
The only difficulty is building the house. I hope the building material supplier in Fontaine has a house that can be assembled like a puzzle.
"Well, thank you so much, Mavica."
At this time, Xitlal, who had been standing nearby, put away the map on the table, then looked at Shao Yun with a smile on her face and suggested, "Hehe, since you are in such a good mood now, how about another game of Seven Saints Summons?"
When Shao Yun heard the words "Seven Saints Summons", the smile on his face froze instantly. Still fighting?
He quickly waved his hands and refused, "Stop, I don't want to play anymore! I've already played with you for the whole afternoon!"
Seeing that Shao Yun refused to play "Seven Saints Summons" with her anymore, Xitela Li immediately puffed up her cheeks like a child and complained:
"What a man you are. You say you don't want to pay attention to me, but you just ignore me and then abandon me. Humph~"
Shao Yun looked at Xitlari's arrogant look and couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he could do nothing about it.
In other words, the rabbit will not eat the grass near its burrow, otherwise, I really want to scare you a few times.
"Are you still not satisfied? Just be content. The last person who kept the information from me was already scared to tears by me..."
The previous person Shao Yun was referring to was actually the intelligence agent Miss "Weir" whom he met when he was still in Mondstadt and was dealing with the affairs of Sister Giuliana.
Recalling the scene at that time, Shao Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
That night, I dealt with Sister Giuliana's affairs and met that devil, which made everything extraordinary...
……
Just as Shao Yun was reminiscing about the past, Weir, who was far away in Mondstadt, suddenly sneezed.
She rubbed her nose and said to herself, "Strange, why do I feel like someone is looking at me?"
……
After telling Shao Yun the location of the ranch, seeing that the other party refused to accompany her to fight the Seven Saints Summoning, Xitlari sighed helplessly.
He could only take his "Seven Saints Summons" deck and leave, looking back every few steps.
After Xitlari walked away, Mavica walked up to Shao Yun.
She looked at Shao Yun who was packing up his cards, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Shao Yun! I want to discuss something with you, is that okay?"
Shao Yun stopped what he was doing, looked up at Mavica, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Mavica? Just tell me what's going on."
Mavica took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Shao Yun, are you free tomorrow?"
When Shao Yun saw Mavica asking him if he had time tomorrow, he nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter? Which tribe's reconstruction mission needs help?"
Mavica couldn't help but find it funny that Shao Yun thought it was a reconstruction mission. Did he forget that she wanted to treat him to a day trip to Nata?
"No, have you been so busy that you forgot? When the reconstruction of Nata is almost finished and everything is stable, I will take you on a day trip to Nata!
"When Shao Yun heard this, he suddenly realized that this was the case! He forgot about it because he was busy, and he was done with it...
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought it was some important mission. I have time tomorrow so I can go."
Mavica was delighted to see that Shao Yun had time tomorrow, so she continued, "Okay, it's settled then!"
"Remember, you have to be ready when the sun rises tomorrow, otherwise the Nata Day Tour won't wait for you!"
