Dialogue
- (Talk to Ye Shunguang)
- Ye Shunguang: Junior (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), you're here~ 
Did Xiao'Guang find anything?- Any progress on Xiao'Guang's investigation?
- Ye Shunguang: Relax~ I've been watching the matches closely these past few days. Together with Bolion, we waited for that Sir Overtime to appear and searched around the area during his match. We've already narrowed down a few suspects!
- Ye Shunguang: The problem is, that Sir Overtime has been flawless in every match lately: no mistakes, no evidence, nothing to use against him.
- Ye Shunguang: (But everything's going just as planned. As long as Wise can corner Sir Overtime into a desperate situation... hmph, that sneaky guy will definitely slip up!But everything's going just as planned. As long as Wise can corner Sir Overtime into a desperate situation... hmph, that sneaky guy will definitely slip up! /
But that's all part of the plan. As long as Belle can push him into a real corner today... heh, that shadowy schemer will definitely slip up!But that's all part of the plan. As long as Belle can push him into a real corner today... heh, that shadowy schemer will definitely slip up!) - Ye Shunguang: And when that happens, I will...
- Xiao'Guang stepped closer, lowering her voice to whisper the rest of her plan into your ear...
After finalizing your strategy with Xiao'Guang, you stepped onto the stage. - Overtime-Enjoyer: Ehn, ehn-na... (Dear contestant, today's match is going to be different from usual. You'd better be careful...)
- It's fine. I'm going to win.
- Overtime-Enjoyer: Ehn... ehn-na? (Really? I hope you can, but still...)
I definitely will.- Let me adjust for a bit first.
- (Talk to Overtime-Enjoyer if exited)
- Overtime-Enjoyer: En-nah... En-neh... (This match... I can't afford to lose.)
- That's not for certain.
- Better play it safe, I'll fine-tune a little more.
- (After completing Infinite Firepower)
- After a fierce battle, Overtime-Enjoyer was finally driven into a corner —
- Overtime-Enjoyer: En, En-neh... (So... so strong... If I could just lose like this...)
- (It's down to the critical moment...)
- (The one pulling the strings should make a move soon...)
- As expected, the hopeful light in Overtime-Enjoyer's eyes suddenly faded...
It stood frozen, as if receiving a secret transmission, lost in deep hesitation. - Overtime-Enjoyer: En-nah... (I don't need the perfect answer... I can decide for myself...)
- Overtime-Enjoyer: En-nah... (I... I don't want this anymore...)
- Overtime-Enjoyer: En-nah... (But... I...)
- It's okay, you don't have to listen to that guy.
- It'll be over soon.
- Overtime-Enjoyer: Enn? Ehn-nah... (Don't listen to him? Wait, you mean...)
- Just as Overtime-Enjoyer began to waver, the signal from the other end suddenly changed —
Its dull eyes lit up again, as though it had made a crucial decision — - Overtime-Enjoyer: Ehn, ehn-na... (If you're investigating him... I-I can testify!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Looks like Xiao'Guang has already caught the mastermind... and with Overtime-Enjoyer willing to testify, this will go even smoother. Time to regroup with her!)
- (Idle)
- Ye Shunguang: Found you...
- (Talk to Ye Shunguang)
- Suspicious Man: Miss, you're making zero sense... I have no clue what you're talking about.
- Ye Shunguang: It's fine, you can keep feigning ignorance. There's no need to explain anything to me.
- Xiao'Guang, I'm here
- Xiao'Guang, I'm not too late, am I?
- Ye Shunguang: Junior (WiseWise /
sistersister)! Perfect timing! Thanks to your help, (I caught his opening.I caught his opening. / I found his weakness.I found his weakness.) - Ye Shunguang: When Sir Overtime was at a disadvantage earlier, he panicked and quickly made a call, then started remotely dictating Sir Overtime's game against you.
- Suspicious Man: What?! You... you guys...
Hmph... but you have no proof! No one will believe what you say! - Bolion: Ehn-nen, neh-ne. (That's what you think. I've already logged everything down with the shadow art of image imprinting.)
- Without giving him a chance to resist, you escorted the man to the Public Security with Xiao'Guang.
Soon after... you received the final verdict. The man was given due punishment for illegal match manipulation and profiteering outside the arena. - Overtime-Enjoyer was seen as a coerced party who did not [sic] from the scheme. Moreover, it even helped to expose the crime. Hence, it received a lighter sentence and was assigned to community service work.
The contract it signed with the man was also reviewed by Public Security and nullified as an illegal agreement. - Overtime-Enjoyer: Ehn... ehn-nuh. (I really don't know how to thank you all properly.)
- Overtime-Enjoyer: Ehn-ne... (After getting fired from my last job for messing things up... I thought I could use my gaming talent to find work I actually enjoyed. Instead, I got tricked into signing a contract and selling me soul. That's what started all this trouble...)
- Overtime-Enjoyer: Ehn-nuh... (If only I had found the courage sooner, things wouldn't have dragged on till now... Nothing good has happened since I was manufactured. Maybe this is what a Bangboo like me deserves.)
- Ye Shunguang: No one ever deserves misfortune. In this world, even the kindest souls can run into unfortunate incidents.
- Ye Shunguang: Don't blame yourself at all. Reality isn't like storybooks, and not everyone has to have the courage to risk everything. The fact that you stood up and reported it in the end is already brave enough in my book!
- Those who help themselves will be helped by others
- Those who love themselves will be loved by others
- Bolion: Ehn-nah... (As both masters said, it was Sir Overtime's own will to save itself and break free from its predicament that allowed us to lend a helping hand.)
- Ye Shunguang: Besides, you've pushed yourself to the absolute limit with everything within your power. Not just with the final report, but in the arena too. I watched your matches... In every single one, you gave it your all, trying to win fair and square with your own strength.
- Ye Shunguang: I've already discussed all of this with the Chess Legend staff... If we were to ignore those external factors, your skills are more than enough for this job, and you're a perfect fit for it...
- Ye Shunguang: So... Sir Overtime, you still have a chance to pursue a job you really love!
- Overtime-Enjoyer: Ehn! Ehn-ah... Nah-ehn-noo! (Th-Thank you so much! I'll do my best! No matter what the final result is... I'll accept it with gratitude.)
- Overtime Enjoyer has a determined and hopeful look in its eyes. You can almost feel the renewed vitality emanating from within them.
Perhaps soon, it will have a brand new life as a Bangboo. - Ye Shunguang: And that wraps things up!
Sweet! Sir Overtime won't have to deal with another crushing blow. - Xiao'Guang, you're great at comforting people
- Xiao'Guang, you made some pretty good points
- Ye Shunguang: D-Did I?
I just shared some of my thoughts. It's not like I said anything that profound! - Ye Shunguang: Oh right... We should give Bolion more credit for this.
Thanks to Bolion's unwavering determination to save Sir Overtime, it managed to avoid a dire fate. - Bolion: Ehn-nah, ehn-nuh... (As a disciple of Suibian Temple, I should stand up against injustice when I see it. I just happened to be at the right place this time... Oh, Masters, if there's another chance to fight for justice in the future, could I...)
- 'Course you can count me in.
- Ye Shunguang: Don't forget about me!
- Bolion: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (Masters, may you join me again next time... in fighting for justice!)
