Drew

In front of the Lost Spacecraft, Afternoon

Drew: Hmm... this must be from Zenith Aerospace City...

Looking at the posters outside Yum Cha Sin, Evening

Drew: "Porcelumex hit by safety crisis, Porcelume production likely to plummet."

Drew: W—Wait... Porcelume production's going down!? That's literally what I came here for!

(With Masheng by Peace Herbal, Afternoon)

Masheng: Wanna check out some fresh stock? Rare Porcelume, one of a kind. You seem like a good sort — normally I'd charge a million Dennies, but for you? Just 888,888.

Drew: Score! The almanac warned me not to go out today. Said I'd lose money. Good thing I didn't buy it, or I would've missed this sweet deal!

Masheng: Huh? Not going to give it any further thought? We could still negotiate on the price, you know.

Drew: No need! Full price it is! Porcelume and I are fated this day, surely.

Masheng: Ugh, you... Ah, forget it, deal's off.

Drew: Huh? What's wrong, boss? If the money's not enough, I can add more! One million two hundred thousand works too!

Masheng: No no no, stop increasing your offer, my conscience is killing me.

(Interaction with Jia'ao)

Jia'ao: Mr. Drew, you're here again?

Drew: That's right! Even with the language barrier, I'll definitely complete my interviews with the residents about Porcelume in Sailume Bay!

Jia'ao: Wouldn't the libraries and museums in the Waifei Peninsula be better choices for academic research?

Drew: Sure, the history in books is important, but in the end, history is about people...

Drew: For Porcelume research, the oral histories from the folks in Sailume Bay are also crucial...

Sailume Bay

(In Sailume Bay, Monday Morning)

Drew: Sailume Bay, as a crucial Porcelume transfer station in the Waifei Peninsula, is definitely not something we can overlook when studying the history of Porcelume...

Aspiring Student: Are you... one of those legendary historians?

Aspiring Student: I've heard that you can analyze all kinds of Porcelume history from seemingly insignificant things. That's absolutely incredible!

Drew: Are you interested in Porcelume's history too, kiddo?

Aspiring Student: Yes!

Drew: I've always hoped more young people would get into historical studies. Hold on, let me give you these materials...

Drew: "The Origins and Early Development of Waifei Peninsula Porcelume", "Characteristics and Formation Mechanisms of Porcelume Surface Treatment", "Thermal Distribution and Causes in Porcelume Processing Plants"...

Drew: Hey, kid! Where are you going?

(Aspiring Student walks away and disappears)

(In Sailume Bay, Morning)

Drew: Excuse me, may I ask how much you know about the history of Porcelume?

Hard-of-Hearing Elder: Popsicles? I'm too old for that stuff now...

Drew: Umm...

Drew: I'm hoping to study Porcelume pieces from different production years. Do you happen to have any such treasures in your house?

Hard-of-Hearing Elder: My rice...

Hard-of-Hearing Elder: Haha, kid! Thanks for reminding me — it's time to take my Waifei rice noodle rolls!
