Find the client near Yum Cha Sin and learn about their commission.

Failume Heights

(Talk to the HIA Staff)

HIA Staff: Where's the miraculous Bangboo? What kind of interesting secrets could such a mysterious Bangboo be hiding?

So, you're the client?

I'm here to take the commission.

HIA Staff: You're quite young... Hmm, I feel this mission calls for someone with more substantial academic accomplishments.

HIA Staff: But we also ought to give younger folks a fair shot at showing what they got... Alright, I've made up my mind!

HIA Staff: Hey, kid, how much do you know about Bangboo?

Nobody knows Bangboo better than me!

Sometimes, I am a Bangboo!

HIA Staff: So spirited and carefree, and such confidence... not bad.

HIA Staff: Let me explain the situation. You've seen Bangboo suddenly appearing in the Hollow, right?

Quite a few.

Yep.

HIA Staff: Great, to put it simply, there's a mysterious Bangboo I need you to communicate with.

HIA Staff: If you can communicate effectively with it, it'll help me with my work, and I'll pay you for your trouble.

HIA Staff: If you're not confident about your communication skills, you can bring some buddies along for backup — both brains and brawns should come in handy.

HIA Staff: But the compensation is fixed, just the one payment. I can tell you're a popular one, and I'm worried you'll clean me out.

What a weird commission.

What an easy commission.

HIA Staff: I'll tell you the rest when we get there. I'm sending you the exact location now. Let's move.

Head to the Former Employee Community in Satellite Town with your client to find the mysterious Bangboo.

Failume Heights

(Idle )

Boy: Ouch, it hurts... But at least no one died...

Boy: Getting answers wrong is terrifying...

Man 1: So you get smacked for wrong answers, huh...

Man 2: And here I thought I knew Bangboo so well...

(Talk to the HIA Staff)

HIA Staff: This is us. See that Bangboo up ahead?

Looks like there's quite a story there...

Looking all beat-up and tattered...

HIA Staff: Yeah, let's call it "Wandererboo" for now.

Wandererboo: Enn-neh...%Enn... ne-neh? (Hollow not...afraid, we...dwell...free?)

HIA Staff: According to the collected data, this Bangboo has been living in the Lemnian Hollow for a long time and has suffered some degree of Ether Corruption, which has affected its dialogue function.

HIA Staff: There have always been some older models of Bangboos working in the Lemnian Hollow, and quite a few have gone missing. But recently, some historical reports caught my attention...

HIA Staff: Seems like some "Wandererboo" would suddenly appear before those who enter the Hollow, and... ask them questions.

Questions?

What happens if they get it right?

HIA Staff: If they give the right answer, the "Wandererboo" will provide some assistance.

HIA Staff: And if you get it wrong, you better be ready for a fight.

HIA Staff: You might be wondering why I brought you here to answer questions. Not that I need help from these Wandererboo — I'm more interested in the things they might trigger.

HIA Staff: As for what those things are, you'll find out once you answer the questions. Whether you get it right or wrong, just getting a response will help me.

You're not staying here?

Are you just gonna stand by and watch?

HIA Staff: I'll be observing from the side. Please start the commission now. Don't mind these people around. This is an investigation, not a tea party.

HIA Staff: Hit me up after you answer the questions, and I'll fill you in on all the details.

Talk to the Wandererboo and give your answer - ready to face the challenge if you get it wrong?

Failume Heights

(Idle)

Wandererboo: Enn-ehh-nhe! (Over here! Hurry up!)

(Talk to Wandererboo)

Wandererboo: Ehn-ne...#=Enn... nhe-ne? (Human...#=Strange aura...pilgrimage?)

Wandererboo: Ehn-ne... (Then let me ask you...)

Wandererboo: Ehn-ne...*% Ehn-en-nhe? (Which Bangboo has ear piercings?)

Brawlerboo!

Wandererboo spins around happily, then suddenly freezes.

Wandererboo: "...The truth... must be... crimson red..."

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Huh? Why is it suddenly speaking human language? And it's such a vague female voice... Almost like it's playing a pre-recorded message or something...)

Wandererboo: "...High above... It's... %$"

The voice stopped... Have a word with that HIA staff member.

Bagboo!

(Enemies spawn)

Luckyboo!

(Idle, if answered correctly)

Wandererboo: Enn-ne! Ehn-nhe~ (That's right! You're a fellow Bangboo enthusiast~)

(Idle, if answered incorrectly)

Wandererboo: Enn&@#$%$! (Error, error!)

(Talk to Wandererboo, if answered incorrectly)

A sound like a switch being flipped echoes from inside Wandererboo.

Wandererboo: "...The truth... must... wait..."

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Huh? Why is it suddenly speaking human language? And it's such a vague female voice... Almost like it's playing a pre-recorded message or something...)

Wandererboo: "...Souls...I need souls...%$"

The voice stopped... Have a word with that HIA staff member.

You've completed the Bangboo Wanderer's challenge. Report back to your client.

Failume Heights

(Talk to the HIA Staff)

HIA Staff: Impressive. Guess I made the right call inviting you in. And there I was thinking I'd have to grab my stool and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with you. When you're free, I'll treat you to dinner at a farmhouse in the countryside. I know just the spot that serves the best food.

What was that last one?

Was that... a recording?

HIA Staff: So you did hear it, right? Yeah, that's exactly what I was concerned about. But let me be upfront. I don't really understand what it is either. Still, my mission's done now that I've collected the info, so thanks.

That's it?

I want to know more.

HIA Staff: Just to be polite, let me explain. While these weird Bangboo signals pop up randomly and their sources unknown, sometimes the info they contain can be super valuable.

HIA Staff: So I've been assigned to do further research on these Wandererboo, and I'm completely in the dark about it so far.

HIA Staff: If we're talking about audio records left by the creators, that doesn't seem right. We managed to track down the models of several Wandererboo, and those were different in every way. Their backgrounds totally contradict this theory.

HIA Staff: Besides, we can't capture Wandererboo for research. the Hollow Corruption seems to have reached some kind of delicate balance inside these Bangboos. If we forcibly remove them from the Hollow, it might cause irreversible damage.

HIA Staff: Alright, does that answer satisfy your curiosity a bit?

Still not enough.

That sound... it's bothering me.

HIA Staff: Well, I can't answer more questions from you. Lemnian Hollow's got more than just this one Wandererboo. If you're curious, why don't you go explore it yourself?

HIA Staff: If you spot any other Wandererboo and manage to get the info they play... whatever the content might be, it's super important to me!

Sounds doable.

I'll check it out.

HIA Staff: Great, so if I want to find you, shall I try my luck at Yum Cha Sin or?

Just go to Suibian Temple.

HIA Staff: Oh, that Suibian Temple that's been buzzing lately? Got it.

HIA Staff: To show my gratitude, I'll spread the word about the temple's revival in the Investigation Association circles. Let's have tea together sometime.
