Dialogue

Day 1

Speak to Boss Du at Aurum Alley

Mission Description

As Aurum Alley's clientele continues to grow, so too do those visiting Du's Teahouse. Boss Du is specially proud of his tea shop's signature Flaming Potent Tea, but in recent days, he keeps getting negative feedback from his customers...
Boss Du is determined to meet the customer's tastes and develop some new teas for his business. However, before he can release these new drinks to the public, he still wants to hear your opinion...

Aurum Alley

(Talk to Boss Du)

Did you want something?

Boss Du: Lately, I've been working on new flavors for my Flaming Potent Tea. Innovation is the key to business, you know.

Boss Du: Check out this new Midnight Cream Tea flavor I just developed. It sounds pretty catchy and tastes great, but its color might look a little unusual with so many ingredients.

Boss Du: But of course, I can't just brag about it like this and call it a done job. I need feedback and suggestions from my customers.

Boss Du: Since you're here, why not try my new Midnight Cream Tea and let me know what you think?

I'd love to! ...If it's free.

Boss Du: Of course it's free. If I can't cover the costs of research, development, and preliminary testing, what kind of business am I running?

Can you guarantee my safety?

Boss Du: Don't worry. All my ingredients have passed the Realm-Keeping Commission's quality inspection. Plus, I've downed it a few times myself, and I'm still alive and kicking. What could possibly go wrong?

Boss Du: Wait a few moments. Your tea will be ready in no time!

Boss Du pours the Midnight Cream Tea into your teacup.

Boss Du: Please enjoy!

Taste the teahouse's new Midnight Cream Tea

Drink it up in one gulp!

You pick up the teacup, remove the lid, and gaze at the questionable blue-purple liquid in the cup. You can't help but hesitate for a moment.

The color of the new Flaming Potent Tea reminds you of the magnificent yet eerie starry sky outside the Astral Express. It is so quiet and magnificent that it inspires a sense of awe, even fear. But then again, if the starry sky were no longer quiet, it would be even more frightening...

Boss Du's smiling gaze snaps you back from the fearsome abyss, although you are not sure if he's pulling you away from it or pushing you towards it. In the end, you muster up your courage, stare directly at the Flaming Potent Tea and your inner fears, pinch your nose, and just like that, drink it up!

You taste the tea carefully, savoring its rich creamy aroma and sweetness of the fresh fruity juice. There seems to be nothing wrong with this tea, except for the fruit pulp getting stuck between your teeth...

But then, you suddenly realize that it doesn't taste like it's "flaming" at all. What kind of Flaming Potent Tea would it be without that spicy kick?

Boss Du: How does it taste? Do you like it?

It tastes good, but not "flaming" at all.

What kind of Flaming Potent Tea doesn't have a burning kick?

Boss Du: Yeah... I thought it tasted good and had a unique look, but now that you mention it, it really doesn't have anything to do with Flaming Potent Tea.

Boss Du: Thank you for reminding me... otherwise, I'd have started selling it, and my tea house would have been reduced to an ordinary beverage store with no special features. That's simply unacceptable!

Boss Du: Looks like I've got to develop more new flavors, but unfortunately, not all of my customers have the time to give me their feedback...

Boss Du: Oh, how could I possibly forget you, (Trailblazer)! Why don't you try my new products and give me your thoughts? You'll receive compensation for your help, of course.

Compensation? Sure, leave it to me!

Boss Du: Don't worry! We business people are most reliable! I'll definitely make it worth your while!

I treat you as a friend, but you treat me like a worker for hire...

Boss Du: Ah, my bad! I apologize sincerely for my misbehavior! You're right. We're good friends, and we shouldn't let material interests ruin that.

Boss Du: Here's the deal: I just got some interesting ingredients, and the peddler said "it smells terrible but tastes terrific." I'm planning to add it to my tea. These are all rare ingredients not usually found on Xianzhou. How about you help me taste test it?

Boss Du: Well, this tea isn't up to par today, it seems. I'll give you a call once I've come up with something new.

Aurum Alley

(Talk to Boss Du): Did you want something?; Boss Du: Lately, I've been trying to make something new with fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits. After some setbacks, I've finally developed a new recipe.; Boss Du: This is the new flavor for Flaming Potent Tea. I've followed your suggestions from last time, and this one is sure to lift your spirits with its spicy kick.; Boss Du: Why don't you come over and give it a try?; Boss Du personally pours a cup of tea for you.; Boss Du: Here, feel free to give it a try, and if you feel like drinking more, there's plenty where that came from.; Bottoms up!

Taste the new Flaming Potent Tea

Drink it up in one gulp!; It appears that this tea lacks any distinctive features. It has a mildly spicy taste at first, but then it fades away. It's not too sweet, sour, bitter, or salty — not much else to say about it.; You wait patiently for a while to make sure you're not experiencing any abnormal side effects.; Boss Du: How does it taste? Good? Any room for improvement? Are you experiencing any discomfort?; Not bad, but there's not much else to say about it.; Nothing special, I guess...; Boss Du: Oh, really? If you're not experiencing any side effects, it means the recipe is usable. Next I'll adjust its flavor.; Boss Du: Hmm... let's see, what else should I add...; (Trailblazer): *burp*; (Trailblazer): *burp* *burp*; Boss Du: Hmm? What's happening?; I don't know, either. *burp*; Nothing. I just *burp* hiccuped. *burp* *burp*; Maybe I drank it too fast. *burp* *burp* *burp*; Boss Du: You only started burping after having the tea. Maybe I added too much carbonated gas.; *burp*; *burp*; *burp*; Boss Du: Oh, my bad. I shouldn't have added so much carbonated gas just for the taste... Guess I'll have to adjust the recipe again. Oh, here's the promised compensation. I'll give you a call once I've come up with something new.; *burp* *burp*; *burp* *burp*; *burp* *burp*
(After finishing the conversation): (Trailblazer): *burp*; (Trailblazer): *burp* *burp*; (Trailblazer): *burp*; (Trailblazer): *burp* *burp*; (Trailblazer): *burp*; (Trailblazer): *burp* *burp*; (Trailblazer): *burp*

Taste the new Flaming Potent Tea

Drink it up in one gulp!

While you have no idea what ingredients Boss Du added, you are certain that this is the authentic Flaming Potent Tea as its overwhelming spice and burn go straight to your brain.

You are stunned by the Flaming Potent Tea's bold aftertaste. After shaking your head and taking a moment to compose yourself, you start counting on your fingers how many cups of Flaming Potent Tea you've had. At that moment, you suddenly realize that counting with your fingers is something only March 7th would do.

You quickly curl your fingers, but then you start to wonder: March 7th counts her fingers because she has ten of them, but how does Pom-Pom count their fingers? Do they start at one and count up to two, or start at zero and end at zero, too?

You become completely absorbed in your finger-counting mathmatical [sic] theories...

Return to Du's Teahouse and tell Boss Du about what you learned

(After waking up in Exalting Sanctum): (Trailblazer): (???); (Trailblazer): (Wait, where am I? I was having tea at Du's Teahouse, but why am I here? Boss Du might be looking for me. I should hurry back!)
(Talk to Boss Du): What was the tea I just tried?; Boss Du: Oh, finally, you're back! I was so worried about you. You finished the tea and just stormed out — I thought you were irritated by it!; Boss Du: I tried to calm you down, but all you muttered was something about the "ultimate truth of the universe" and "the unified theory of maths". At any rate, I didn't understand a word!; Boss Du: You were walking unsteadily and stumbling, but now I see that you are safe and sound. I'm glad that nothing terrible happened.; Boss Du: ...So, how did you feel about that cup of tea? I'm sincerely sorry if it was a bad tasting experience.; It's a little overwhelming...; I don't even know what just happened.; Boss Du: Hmmm? From what you're saying, I assume the Flaming Potent Tea has got you a little carried away? I've seen customers who aren't used to it getting dizzy and talking nonsense after drinking my tea.; Boss Du: Perhaps that's why you acted weird... Looks like the Flaming Potent Tea was a bit too flaming and potent. I'll have to adjust the recipe.; Boss Du: I'll look into it later. Oh, and here's the compensation I promised. I'll give you a call once I've come up with something new.

Taste the new Flaming Potent Tea

Drink it up in one gulp!

You accept the cup of tea and slowly drink it. Your mind remains calm — you have had your fair share of bizarre encounters on your journey, and how could a cup of tea possibly surprise you now?

The warm liquid goes down your throat smoothly, and its comforting warmth causes the corners of your lips to curl into a smile. You're about to congratulate Boss Du on his progress with his new recipe.

However, before you can say anything, you are taken aback by the sight of a few areas on Boss Du's head that are already showing signs of balding.

Developing the new Flaming Potent Tea seemed as simple as adding some random ingredients, but you didn't realize that Boss Du was so committed that he even sacrificed his hair. You are impressed by his perseverance.

Boss Du looks at you with expectant eyes, but you remain silent. At that moment, you notice beads of sweat emerging behind his ears, and you are unsure if he's nervous, anxious, or lacks confidence in your competency...

But why can you see the sweat behind his ears? As you ponder this question, your thoughts come to an abrupt halt, and a cold shiver runs down your spine.

Boss Du: ...Eh? A-are you all right? How do you like the tea?

Didn't you just get sweaty behind your ears?

Boss Du: Umm, perhaps it's because I'm wearing thick clothes today as my family insists that it's cold outside. Have I been sweating so much that you've noticed...?

Boss Du: Well, please forgive me. It's not professional to sweat so much in front of customers.

Looks like you've experienced some hair loss...

Boss Du: That's true. I have been staying up late these days, and I've been experiencing terrible hair loss every day when I... W-wait! H-How did you find it out?

Sorry, I just got lost in thought.

Boss Du: It's okay. Just take your time. I'm not in a hurry anyway.

Boss Du: Did something... just happen?

(Tell him what you just saw.)

Boss Du: I see. It appears that the tea has caused some sort of hallucination as a side effect.

Boss Du: Well, I wasn't feeling nervous, and of course I didn't lose my hair at all. That must have been a hallucination.

Boss Du: In any case, something is wrong with this recipe, and I'll have to adjust it. Oh, here's the promised compensation. I'll give you a call once I've come up with something new.

Taste the teahouse's new Nerve Soothing Tea

Drink it up in one gulp!

As you gulp down the Nerve Soothing Tea, the spiciness tickles your throat, but the burning sensation soon fades away. The aftertaste has a more subdued flavor profile, evoking a sense of familiarity.

Although you can't recall precisely where the sensation comes from, you feel a sense of warmth and security enveloping you, like a feeling of deja vu...

You fall asleep almost as soon as you finish this cup of tea.

(Trailblazer): Um...

(Trailblazer): Hehe... Heh! Heh, heh!

Boss Du: Are you all right, (Trailblazer)? You fell asleep right after drinking the tea, and you were even talking in your sleep. This is just...

Boss Du: ...But thankfully, you've woken up. I've been shaking you for quite a while.

Boss Du: If nothing's wrong with you, could you let me know how it tastes, or if you're still feeling uncomfortable so that I can adjust the recipe accordingly?

I've just woken up and don't remember anything.

It tastes good, but somehow it makes me feel drowsy...

Boss Du: Alas, I thought this tea would work when I saw how serene your face looked, but I didn't expect it to cause drowsiness.

Boss Du: But why did nothing happen when I tried it myself? Are you sensitive to certain ingredients?

Boss Du: Ah, forget it. I'll look into it later. Anyway... I'm really sorry about all this.

Boss Du: Here's the compensation I promised. This tea isn't up to par today, it seems. I'll give you a call once I've come up with something new.

Taste the teahouse's new Unsen-tea-mental Tea

Drink it up in one gulp!

This cup of tea tastes chillingly cold, like a cold spring under the ice, coursing through your entire body. You are certain that it's a variation of the Flaming Potent Tea because...

You envision yourself crawling through the snow in the suburbs of Belobog, dressed in thin clothes. The frigid wind slices through you like a dagger, causing pain to shoot through your skin and your soul.

An advertisement for a certain carbonated beverage once described this feeling as "Cold to the bone! Colder than staying unloved and alone with each passing day." After that description, it doesn't take much to understand why this product didn't sell so well.

Boss Du: How does this Unsen-tea-mental Tea taste? Is there any room for improvement?

What's the name of this tea again?

Boss Du: Unsen-tea-mental Tea — sounds really profound, right? The name emphasizes an esoteric philosophical concept and fits perfectly with the taste of my Flaming Potent Tea. That's a pretty cool idea, isn't it?

What's the name of this tea again?

Boss Du: I just told you — Unsen-tea-mental Tea.

What's it like to experience "Unsen"...?

Boss Du: That's for you to tell me. Didn't you just taste it?

Boss Du: You're acting weird. Is everything okay? Did the tea give you any side effects?

What's the name of this tea again?

Boss Du: Hey, didn't you just ask that question? Don't make me repeat the tea name over and over, all right?

Tea? What tea are you talking about?

Boss Du: The tea you just drank, of course!

Boss Du: ???

Boss Du: No, something is definitely wrong. You don't even remember what I just repeated several times. All I added to the tea was some peppermint, so why are you having this kind of reaction...?

Did I... forget anything?

Boss Du: "Forget" anything? You hardly remember anything!

Am I allergic to peppermint?

Boss Du: I don't think so. You're not showing any allergic reactions.

Boss Du: Hmm... maybe I added too much peppermint...?

Boss Du: Whatever, I'll look into it later. I'm really sorry for the memory loss side effect it caused.

Boss Du: Here's the compensation I promised. This tea isn't up to par today, it seems. I'll give you a call once I've come up with something new.
