Save Shellboo
Story Description: You arrive at Peace Herbal, but the manager Shellboo is nowhere to be found. After asking around, you learn that Huangqi's sloppy handling caused Shellboo to crash.
- (SiblingSibling): Huh? (Is Peace HerbalIs Peace Herbal /
Peace Herbal'sPeace Herbal's) closed today? Huangqi, (did you seedid you see / where'swhere's) Shellboo? - Huangqi: *sobbing*... Oh, Shellboo...
- Huangqi: To all our guests, I'm truly sorry... but I'm afraid the hundred-year-old Bangboo just couldn't hold on in the end...
Huh?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Ah... You mean Shellboo... he...
- Nangong Yu: *sigh* He was an old Bangboo, after all...
- Huangqi: I tried everything to save him, but nothing worked...
- (SiblingSibling): (You did your best. Don't beat yourself up...You did your best. Don't beat yourself up... /
Don't be too hard on yourself... You did your best...Don't be too hard on yourself... You did your best...) - Huangqi: Acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, tui na... Why did none of this work?
- Nangong Yu: You put all that effort in the wrong direction! It'd be weird if those actually worked!
- Huangqi: It was only after Reed told me Bangboo are robots did I realize that they run on electricity...
- Nangong Yu: Yeah... No matter how you look at it, it's totally electric!
- Huangqi: So, just like in the movies, I hooked up wires to the car battery to jump start him... and... he just completely shut down...
- (Suggest checking on Shellboo.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Hold onHold on /
Hold on a secHold on a sec)... Now I'm starting to suspect that Shellboo shut down because of how you handled him... (Can youCan you / Why don't youWhy don't you) take me to see him? - Huangqi: Okay, Doc! Right this way! Just follow me!
- (Idle)
- Shellboo: ...
- (Interact with Shellboo)
- Huangqi: Doc, over here! Shellboo's completely out cold...
- Poor Shellboo is sitting frozen on the ground, the air still thick with the acrid stench of burnt insulation tape.
- Nangong Yu: Looks like it totally got fried by a high-voltage shock...
- Nangong Yu: Manager, so you got any ideas?
I'll take a look.- (Start Circuit Reset)
- (After repairing Shellboo)
- Shellboo successfully wakes up, and after hearing what everyone needs, he starts thinking it over...
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne... (Thanks, everyone! I think I got zapped by some kinda lightning bolt, then I totally blacked out...)
- Shellboo: Ehn, ehn-ne... (So you need some herbs or spices to tone down the heat and spiciness of the hot pot...)
- Huangqi: Doc, you're a miracle worker! Old Shellboo's talking speed is back to normal!
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne... (I'd suggest you...)
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne... (You might wanna try...)
- Uh... try what?
- Huangqi: Doc, you made it worse! How come it speaks even more slowly than before?
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne. (No spicy pot.)
- Nangong Yu: We need to improve the spicy hot pot! Not get rid of it! Isn't there any other way?!
- Shellboo: Ehn-ehn... (Guess there's no choice...)
- Is that so? Alright then...
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne... (If you can't handle spiciness, you could always try...)
- Nangong Yu: Wait, you weren't finished? So there IS a way to fix this?
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne... (Just have less spicy stuff...)
- Nangong Yu: Shouldn't have even asked him.
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne... (Of course, you could also toss in these spices...)
- Shellboo: Ehn-ne... (To make it a bit gentler...)
- After half an hour of back-and-forth with Shellboo, you finally figure out which herbs and spices he is recommending...
- Nangong Yu: Hmm, are you sure? He was stuttering through it—what if he got it wrong?
- Huangqi: Don't you worry, he never messes up when it comes to mixing herbs. I can whip up a batch for you. Just give it a try and see for yourselves!
- Nangong Yu: Thank you so much!
- Huangqi: I can also offer home delivery! Just give me a Knock Knock message if you need it! I'll give you 20% off shipping!
- Nangong Yu: Sweet! Let's head back and test out this soup base—if it's solid, we're totally ordering it!
- Huangqi helps gather the herbs and spices. Everyone heads back to Suibian Temple with the goods, only to run into two familiar faces.
- (Idle)
- Blaze: Many thanks to your two star students. I would've been totally lost without them!
- Yixuan: Mm, both of them have got a golden heart...
- (Talk to Blaze)
- Blaze: You're back! I was just thanking Yixuan Shifu for all your help!
- Yixuan: Well, seeing my disciples eager to stand up for justice and help those in need—it really warms my heart.
- Ye Shunguang: It's all about helping out hot pot joints in crisis—delicious justice served hot!
- Thanks for the props!
- Nangong Yu: We brought back the soup base spices too—come on, everyone give it a taste!
- Blaze: Alright! Master Pan and Master Fufu went out to take care of something, so I'll be whipping up the soup base for everyone today!
- Blaze: I feel like my symptoms have been getting better lately... If I follow the recipe, it should turn out fine! Everyone, come sit down!
- Nangong Yu: Ah... you're doing it? I've already tasted like dozens of spices with you along the way, and I really can't try anymore... Let Master Yixuan and Master Ye give it a taste!
- Nangong Yu: Alright! I'll go check with (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) about the beef order. Blaze, you've been running around all day—sit down and get yourself a proper meal! - (SiblingSibling): Alright! I'm... totally not hungry either... The taste-testing mission is all (yours, Wise!yours, Wise! /
yours,Belle! [sic]yours,Belle! [sic] Tooltip for yours,Belle! [sic]ⓘ) You got this! - Huh? I'm staying for the taste test?
- Whether they're telling the truth, or out of fear of Blaze's seasoning, Nangong and (BelleBelle /
WiseWise) bolt out of Suibian Temple in a flash... - Yixuan: What's going on? Those two just bolted outta here like their lives depended on it.
- It's nothing... really...
- Blaze: Then let's all dig in and give it a taste! Take a seat, everyone!
- Yixuan: Well then, much obliged!
- Let's try! (Enter stage)
- Just a second!
- (Talk to Blaze again, if exited)
- Blaze: Back already? C'mon, grab a seat and dig in!
- Let's try! (Enter stage)
- Wait a minute!
- (After completing Clear Soup & Beef (III))
-
- (Blaze, Yixuan, Ye Shunguang, and (ProtagonistProtagonist) enjoy their hot pot)
- Blaze: I have to say, this soup base is impressive. My sense of taste isn't what it used to be, but my body feels better after this meal.
- Blaze: I used to never touch non-spicy hot pot. But now I kinda regret it.
- Ye Shunguang: I really love this soup base, and the beef, too.
- Yixuan: Same here. I feel warm all over now! Like all the work fatigue just melted away.
- Yixuan: Hmm... if I'd eaten like this when I was younger, I might've grown even stronger.
- Ye Shunguang: Oh, come on, Shifu! You're already super strong!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Yeah! Strength only means something when it's matched by integrity like yours, Shifu!Yeah! Strength only means something when it's matched by integrity like yours, Shifu! /
Xiao'Guang is right! A strong body only matters if it's backed by integrity like yours, Shifu!Xiao'Guang is right! A strong body only matters if it's backed by integrity like yours, Shifu!) - Yixuan: Alright, alright, I'm flattered.
- Yixuan: That reminds me — you came to deal with the soup base and ingredient shortage, right? Is everything okay?
- Blaze: Oh, right! Thanks for the reminder, Yixuan Shifu! We still need to sort out the seafood.
- Blaze: Luckily it comes straight from Sailume Bay. That's not too far from here.
- Yixuan: That's good. I've heard there've been scoundrels hanging around Lemnian Hollow lately. If you need help, you can always come find us.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Thank you, Shifu! (But I doubt these scoundrels will require your presence...But I doubt these scoundrels will require your presence... /
But... I don't think we'll need to trouble you over some scoundrels...But... I don't think we'll need to trouble you over some scoundrels...) - Blaze: Relax, Yixuan Shifu! We'll go check it out on the Lower-Level!
