Commission Description

Qingyi seems to be around the video store. Say hi to her.

Routine Visit

Special Event

"Routine Visit"

Story Description: After the Bringer incident, you officially become a contact of Zhu Yuan's squad. When Qingyi comes for a routine visit, she tells you that Zhu Yuan is busy with a theft case and needs you to assist by fishing. You think you're going to be fishing for criminals and immediately agree.

Qingyi: How have you two been?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Hey / Hello‍), Qingyi! Are you off work today? (‍Wanna / Here to‍) borrow a videotape?

Qingyi: Afraid not. Today, I'm here for a "routine visit."

"Routine visit," I remember now.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): "Routine visit," ah, now I (‍remember... / remember!‍)

A few days ago, shortly after the Bringer incident...

Qingyi: The reason I came to see you both today is because the final decision regarding Phaethon's punishment has been made:

Qingyi: Considering that "Phaethon," as a Proxy, has never been involved in any harmful Hollow activities and has repeatedly risked life and limb in the pursuit of justice, no lawsuit will be filed against you.

Qingyi: However, as punishment, all the funds found in your previously confiscated Inter-Knot account will be forfeited as a fine. While the amount is considerable, you were aware of this possibility when you abandoned the account, so...

Wait, funds?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, funds? (‍Belle, I remember you saying that all the money in the account had already been transferred out... / Wise, I thought you said we didn't put any money in the Inter-Knot account?‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Uh, Wise, calm down. I was worried that your blood pressure would rise from hearing this, so I've been looking for the right moment to tell you... / Belle, you should calm down first. I planned to leave some in the Inter-Knot account just in case, after all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket...‍)

Why did it have to be this basket that tipped over?!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍This "right moment" wouldn't happen to be the end of time, would it? / Why did it have to be this basket that tipped over?!‍)

Is forgiveness my only option at this point?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): At this point, I guess I HAVE to forgive you...^{[Note 1]}

Qingyi: Pfft... In any case, aside from the fine mentioned earlier, the other requirement is that both of you need to become informants for Zhu Yuan's Squad, using your abilities to assist us when needed.

Qingyi: There's no need to worry. Aside from the squad's formal members and a few high-ranking officials within the bureau, your identities will not be disclosed to others. After this, Zhu Yuan and I will make regular "routine visits" to the video store...

Back to the present time...

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): By the way, Qingyi, didn't you say Zhu Yuan would also be coming? The last time we went to the Public Security Precinct, we didn't see her at all.

Qingyi: *sigh* I'm not exactly sure why, but poor Zhu Yuan has been tied up with that stolen artwork case lately.

Stolen artwork?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Stolen artwork?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Oh, you mean that high-profile case that everyone's talking about. They say that over thirty pieces of artwork were stolen from the gallery, with the most valuable being a lantern. / I heard about this on the news it's been a super hot topic lately — a group of thieves stole over thirty artifacts from an art museum, including a very valuable lantern.‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): The artist's identity is also quite unusual... (‍Some master of counterfeit jewelry working for the mafia, or something like that. / A master of counterfeit jewelry who worked for the mafia decades ago.‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): I also heard that back in the day, (‍she got into some trouble with / she was retaliated against by‍) her employer for stealing the mafia's jewelry, but the loot she hid was never found.

Qingyi: Exactly. Because of these legendary stories, the value of this lantern has skyrocketed, and it's giving Zhu Yuan quite the headache.

Is there anything I can do to help?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is there anything I can do to help?

Qingyi: Oh? If you have some free time, there's indeed something you could help with — how about joining me for some fishing at the Torchlit Lighthouse?

Are you planning on luring the enemy onto a hook?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is the plan to lure the enemy onto a hook? No problem,^{[Note 2]} (‍there's nothing much going on at the store these days anyway. / I've been pretty free these days!‍)

Qingyi: Excellent, then we'll meet at the dock later.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Wise / Belle‍), since Qingyi needs help, you should head to Port Elpis and meet up with her.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Don't worry about the shop, leave it to me and 18. If you need my help over there, just say the word. / Don't worry about the shop, 18 and I will take care of everything. And if you need some help out there, call me anytime.‍)

Meet with Qingyi at Port Elpis

Step Description

Despite agreeing to go fishing with Qingyi, it's hard to tell what she wants to do. I should meet up with her first.

(Idle, by the bike rack): Racket: What? We can only use the bait provided by the organizers?; Racket: Tch, it won't be easy to sneak into the competition...

(Idle, by the 4x4): Sano: Can we really trust all that about bioluminescent fish showing up from just a few photos?; NPC 2: Maybe you should worry more about your seasickness.; NPC 3: How about worrying whether you can even make it to the finals?

This Type of Fishing

(Talk to Qingyi)

Special Event

"This Type of Fishing"

Story Description: There's a fishing competition going on at Port Elpis and it turns out this is what Qingyi was talking about: she wants you to be her teammate in this competition and also to get information on the theft from the lighthouse keeper, McDunn.

Qingyi: Manager, you're here already? That was fast!

What's with this lively atmosphere?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, what's with this lively atmosphere?^{[Note 3]}

Qingyi: It's because a fishing competition is about to begin of course, and we've arrived late.

Is this the kind of fishing you were talking about earlier?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, is this the kind of fishing you were talking about earlier?

Aren't we here to lure the thieves out of hiding?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Aren't we here to lure the enemy out of hiding?

Loud Old Man: Oh, Qingyi, it really is you! I was just thinking that with how busy you usually are at work, I probably wouldn't see you at the competition.

Qingyi: A promise once made must be kept. I'm on vacation for the next few days, so I thought I'd bring my partner for the competition here to get familiar with the fishing spot.

Qingyi: (‍Wise / Belle‍), let me introduce you. This is President Qi, the president of the Ridu Fishing Association and an old friend of mine.

President Qi: Hahaha, that's right! Back when Qingyi had just switched to this body, her arm fell into the river during a scuffle with a criminal, and I was the one who fished it out! Truly unforgettable.

Qingyi: It was only after that incident that the cross-sections of the Automaton's body were modified to look less like muscle.

Looks like the president was affected by that in a big way.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Sounds like the experience left quite a mark on you... / Looks like the president's mental scars from back then... run deep.‍)

Qingyi: President, this competition is quite big. Considering what I know about the Fishing Association, are you sure the budget won't be an issue?

President Qi: To be honest, we've practically emptied the Association's coffers for this. But you know, someone recently took photos of blue lights flickering over the sea nearby at night. From my years of experience, that's definitely bioluminescent fish!

President Qi: Opportunities to fish for bioluminescent fish are rare. The biggest highlight of this Elpis Ultimate Angler Competition is the night fishing trip to Reef Island during the finals!

McDunn: Hmph, it all depends on if the lighthouse is up and running. If it ain't working, no one would dare take that old boat you rented to Crow's Nest at night.

McDunn: Qi, where are the supplies for the lighthouse repair? Why haven't they been delivered yet?

President Qi: Oh, why are you in such a hurry? They'll definitely be delivered today! The supplies for the competition are all in the same batch.

McDunn: I can only trust half of what you're saying. When you came to borrow my venue, you didn't mention anything about officers tagging along.

McDunn: This small harbor is already too crowded for a big mascot standing around.

Qingyi: ...

President Qi: Uh... haha, Qingyi, McDunn is just like that — his words are never very pleasant, but don't take it seriously. We're holding the competition here, and I even asked him to help with the arrangements, so I've disturbed his peace a bit.

President Qi: How 'bout this; I'll go check on the delivery, and you two can get familiar with the venue. We’ll talk later!

So, are we really here to fish?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So, are we really here to fish?

Qingyi: Yes, but not entirely.

Qingyi: President Qi and I have been fishing buddies for many years, and most of the members of the Ridu Fishing Association are good friends of mine. They've helped me gather information more than once. They invited me, so of course I came — that's the first reason.

Qingyi: The second reason is related to the theft case I mentioned earlier. The city's been tightening up security recently, so the criminals who stole the art pieces will likely try to move the stolen goods via waterways.

Qingyi: I've heard that the lighthouse keeper, McDunn, is quite well-informed when it comes to the nearby ports and Hollows. However, he claims he'll never cooperate with Public Security under any circumstances.

Qingyi: I was hoping that with President Qi's introduction, it would be easier to get close to him, but it seems that plan has gone out the window.

What should we do now?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What should we do now?

Qingyi: Since we're here, let's make the best of it. I really did take annual leave. Manager, you should just accompany me and experience the joy of fishing.

Qingyi: You're both patient and adaptable Manager. In my opinion, you've got the potential to become a fishing expert.

Qingyi: Don't worry, Manager. Mr. McDunn says he's helping with the event, so if we stay here, we still have a chance to run into him.

Qingyi: Besides, the rewards from the championship are so generous. If we win, you can use the money to cover the losses on your Inter-Knot account. How about that? I'll take it as returning a favor.

Really? Alright, I'm pumped up for this!

Qingyi: Since you're interested, I'm sure you'll master it quickly. Besides, the organizers will provide the gear and bait, saving us a lot of prep work.

But I've never fished before. Is that alright?

Qingyi: You're a fast learner, so I'm sure you'll pick it up in no time. Plus, the organizers will provide the gear and bait, saving us a lot of prep work.

Qingyi: No time to waste! Let me take you over to try it out.

Go to the fishing spot and learn to fish with Qingyi

Step Description

Several fishing spots in Port Elpis are open for training. Follow Qingyi to practice your basics.

(After the conversation): Qingyi: A fishing spot is open for the preliminary round. It can be used freely when no matches are ongoing.; Qingyi: Manager, follow me.

(Interact with the Coastal Fishing Spot sign)

(Begin Fishing tutorial)

(After catching a fish)

Qingyi: Congratulations, Manager! You are off to a great start!

It's all thanks to your guidance!

Qingyi: You're too kind, Manager. With the basic techniques I just showed you, catching small fry is easy. But to reel in the big ones, you'll need more practice.

But this fish is so tiny...

Qingyi: Heh, as the saying goes, you can't reach a thousand miles without taking the first step. Practice catching some smaller fish to sharpen your skills first — landing the big ones is just a matter of time.

Meanwhile...

Ben: Well, if it isn't Proxy... I mean, (‍Mr. / Miss‍) Manager and Officer Qingyi... What a coincidence, running into you here.

Ben, what are you doing here?

Ben: I'm here for the fishing competition, and you look like you're here for it too. Are you here for the bioluminescent fish?

Ben, are you here for the competition?

Ben: That's right. Judging by your gear, you're here to compete too, aren't you? Did you hear about the bioluminescent fish?

(Both choices lead to the following): Yeah, we've heard about it.; But we don't know much about it.; Ben: Oh, here's the story: About three weeks ago, people started spotting faint blue glimmers over the sea late at night. The sightings happened to be near Sea Crow's Nest, that reef island not far from Torchlit Lighthouse.; Qingyi: So, that island is called Sea Crow's Nest? That's the first time I've heard of its name.; Ben: Yeah, Mr. McDunn told me about it. He's been around here for decades and knows everything.; Ben: Anyway, bioluminescent fish are not usually found in shallow waters, but it is still possible for them to appear during their mating season. The island is surrounded by an abundance of food for them, so it's very likely that the blue glimmers were caused by bioluminescent fish; Qingyi: I see. That's definitely a rare opportunity for anglers.; Qingyi: Yeah, but the lighthouse here has been broken for ages. It's a relic from before the Old Capital fell, and the port authority's been putting off repairs for years. I still don't know how President Qi managed to source the materials to fix it.; Ben: Oh, it's an interesting story. A while back, our company got a job helping the city recover supplies from a Hollow near Port Elpis. Among the salvaged items was a container belonging to the port authority.; Ben: Since the contents were heavily corroded, the government decided to auction it off. I tipped off President Qi, and he bought the materials immediately and had some people restore the lighthouse.; Must've cost a fortune...; President Qi really goes all out.; Ben: Luckily, the night fishing advertisements paid off, and everyone can breathe easy now. Oh, by the way, have you two picked up your Fishing Permits yet?; Not yet.; What's that?; Ben: To participate in the official Ultimate Angler Championship, you must first register with Mr. McDunn, obtain your Fishing Permits, and pass the preliminary round.; Ben: Since the number of participants this time is over three times what was expected, I heard registration is closing earlier than planned.; Qingyi: Manager, we should hurry up and register!

Head to the noticeboard to look for Mr. McDunn

Step Description

The deadline for registration is fast approaching. Go to the noticeboard and register with Mr. McDunn.

(Talk to McDunn): McDunn: What's the matter? Need something from me? If you're with PubSec, I've got nothing to say.; You misunderstand.; We're just here to register for the competition.; Qingyi: Mr. McDunn, while I don't know why you hold such a grudge against Public Security, surely you wouldn't make things difficult for us over something as simple as registration, right?; McDunn: Hah, I'm just here to help out old Qi. Whether you register or not doesn't matter to me — why would I waste my time making things difficult?; McDunn: I promised old Qi I'd do a proper job watching this place, and I plan to do exactly that. Unlike Public Security, which is all talk and no action.; Qingyi: And what do you mean exactly...?; McDunn: So, are you registering or not? Time's almost up.; We are, we are! Let's sign up right now!; Thank you for your help!; McDunn: Hmph, now that's what I call efficient, (‍laddieladdieText for Wise / missymissyText for Belle‍). Alright, here are your Fishing Permits, and let me explain a few things.

McDunn: The Certificate is the most important credential at the port.

McDunn: The Certificate has a level certification.

McDunn: By upgrading the level, you can gain stronger abilities and rewards.

McDunn: That's all for the Certificate.

McDunn: Once you're ready, let's start from here.

McDunn: That's all you need to know about your Fishing Permits and the preliminary round. Lastly, there aren't replacements if you lose your Fishing Permits. You'll be eliminated right away. I've already made this clear, so I don't want to hear any whining.

McDunn: Also, there will be a notification on the noticeboard. You can find the details of the competition there, so don't bother me unnecessarily. The finals will be an individual match, so each team has to nominate one member for it. The organizers aren't responsible for any accidents at sea, so make sure you get your own insurance.

Wait, slow down a bit!

McDunn: Does it even matter if you can't remember everything? You haven't even won the million Denny jackpot, why are you stressing about how to spend it?

So, how about you compete, Qingyi?

McDunn: Why rush? It's not like you won the million Denny jackpot. Why worry about how to spend it now?

(Both choices lead to the following)

You're right.

Can't argue with that.

McDunn: Hmph, I may be blunt, but I only speak the truth. Focus on making it through the prelims first. If you pass, come back here to officially register for the next round.

Qingyi: Manager, the prelims test an angler's basic skills. Both of us have to pass it.

Qingyi: But it isn't hard. We just have to be the top three in our group.

Qingyi: Manager, if you're ready, we can start right away.

I am ready!

(Continue to "Pass the preliminary round")

I'd like to practice a little more.

(Exit dialogue)

Talk to McDunn and Qingyi

Step Description

McDunn finishes his explanation about the fishing permits and basic details. Next up will be trying to pass the preliminary round.

(Talk to Qingyi, if left)

Qingyi: Manager, are you ready to participate in the prelims?

I am ready!

(Continue to the next step)

I'd like to practice a little more.

Qingyi: Got it. Let me know when you're ready.
(Exit dialogue)

(Open the Fishing Encyclopedia, optional): Qingyi: All your catches at the port will be recorded in the Fishing Encyclopedia.; Qingyi: Select icons in the encyclopedia to view detailed information.; Qingyi: Catching your first normal fish or rare subspecies will unlock the corresponding sub-tab.; Qingyi: Collect stars based on weight and the catches of rare subspecies.; Qingyi: Gather a certain number of stars to earn extra rewards.

Pass the preliminary round

Step Description

The top three of each group will pass the preliminary round. Time to get serious about fishing.

(After selecting "I am ready!"): Referee: Contestants, welcome to the Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship! The preliminary round is about to begin!; Referee: Please fish within the designated area and use the fishing gear and bait provided by the organizers. We wish all participants the best of luck!; Referee: Let the match begin!

(During the match): Master Hao: Oh, something's pulling on the line...; Caitlyn: This is bad. I haven't caught anything. Could this really be the end?; Caitlyn: I caught one! Fantastic!; Master Hao: Hehe, one's on the hook!; Sano: Oh, how lucky! I've hooked a fish!

(When 30 seconds are left): Referee: Attention! The competition ends in 30 seconds!

(Win the preliminary round)

Qingyi: As expected of the Manager — you made that look easy. I'm done with my match too. Now we've officially qualified for the Port Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship.

Qingyi: Mr. McDunn asked us to report back to him after we passed. Let's go find him now.

Huh? It doesn't look like Mr. McDunn is here...

Qingyi: Come to think of it, during the match, I did vaguely hear some commotion above the walkway.

Did something happen?

Qingyi: That's likely. Manager, let's go check it out.

Should we go check it out?

Qingyi: I was thinking the same thing. Let's go, Manager.

Find out where McDunn went

Step Description

McDunn doesn't seem to be around the noticeboard. Qingyi mentions a commotion near the pier. Did something happen? Go over and find out more.

(Idle, near the notice board): Fahmira: Wow, there are so many people there. What's going on?; Archie: It's just a fishing contest.

(Listen to Klum and Luka, optional): Klum: Son, it's not about winning. It's about participating. Let's just do our best.; Luka: What if I don't place? How will I write that essay on "A Meaningful Experience"?; Klum: Fishing itself is very meaningful!; Luka: If you hadn't said I'd definitely win, I wouldn't have come. Everyone else is off at the amusement park today.

(Idle): Wronged Courier: I swear I didn't mislabel this! What am I supposed to do now?; Qi Yu: Ugh... How did it turn out this way?; McDunn: Stop moping around and think of a solution!

(Talk to McDunn and President Qi): Overwhelmed Supervisor: President Qi, please calm down. Let's talk this over. We can compensate you for the financial losses...; President Qi: Your compensation means nothing. This isn't about money. What's important are the supplies for the championship! Without them, we can't repair the lighthouse, and the Ultimate Angler Championship will be canceled!; Overwhelmed Supervisor: But retrieving those supplies from the Hollow is beyond our abilities — we just can't guarantee if we'll get them back...; Qingyi: President Qi, what happened?; President Qi: Qingyi, you're here... *sigh* What a mess! The batch of materials prepared for the lighthouse and championship wasn't delivered on time. Turns out they were mistakenly thrown into a Hollow as garbage!; What was that?; Thrown into a Hollow?; Overwhelmed Supervisor: Yes, and we're deeply sorry — it's entirely our fault!; Overwhelmed Supervisor: Well, our sorting station has been processing expired, moldy food for disposal in the Hollow. Somehow, this rookie got distracted and mislabeled the packages. President Qi's shipment ended up in the Hollow, while the moldy food was delivered here.; Wronged Courier: I... I really don't know how this happened! I double-checked the labels after I placed them. There's no way I could've made such a rookie mistake...; Overwhelmed Supervisor: Well, you did. And now you're still trying to defend yourself in front of the client? Apologize immediately!; McDunn: Hmph, if apologies solved everything, who'd need Public Security Officers?; McDunn: Oh, right! Speaking of which, isn't there an officer standing right here? Officer, what's your brilliant solution to this mess?; Qingyi: It might not be a brilliant solution, just my humble opinion. Those misplaced supplies haven't been in the Hollow for long. If you can provide the exact location where they were dropped, there's still a chance to recover them, so there's no need to worry.; Overwhelmed Supervisor: Really? Yes, we have the precise coordinates! I'll send them to you right away!; President Qi: Qingyi, those crates have replacement motors and essential parts for the lighthouse. Can you retrieve them? I... I need you to give me a straight answer!; McDunn: Little miss, don't bite off more than you can chew. This is no easy job, and if you can't get it done, you're just wasting the time we could have spent looking for a Proxy!; Don't underestimate us — we're more capable than you think!; If we say we can recover them, we'll recover them!; McDunn: Well, well, someone's confident. So, does that make you a Public Security Officer too?; Qingyi: My friend here isn't a Public Security Officer, but we've worked together extensively and got our fair share of experience when it comes to recovering items from Hollows. With (‍hishisText for Wise / herherText for Belle‍) help, we're already halfway to success.; McDunn: Alright, I'll take your word for it. Old Qi, standing around here getting angry won't fix anything — you're just getting in my way. Go do what you need to do!; Qingyi: Manager, let's get moving!

Talk to Qingyi

Step Description

To retrieve the lost supplies from the Hollow, discuss the situation with Qingyi and set off.

Qingyi: Manager, Pegasos Logistics has sent me the exact time and location where the items were dropped. The precinct has also approved the Hollow expedition.

Qingyi: However, since our Carrots only cover a limited area, we'll need to rely on you in the Hollow.

Ready to go!

(Enter combat)

Let me get ready.

(Exit dialogue)

(Upon starting the commission): Qingyi: Oh? It looks like the manager is here.

(Talk to Eous): Qingyi: Manager, you're here so soon? That was fast.; Qingyi: According to my calculations, that batch of supplies should've fallen in this area. However, the Hollow environment is changing rapidly, and the supplies were tossed out rather haphazardly. It's likely that the supplies have been scattered apart.; Fairy: Master, a model has been created based on existing data and the potential locations of the supplies have been marked out.; Qingyi: Your AI assistant is as abrupt as ever. Well, since we have clues, our work should be much easier. Manager, I'll be counting on you to lead the way.

(After the conversation): Fairy: The container has been moved for you. The path is now clear.; Fairy: Please use the container console to open the container and create a path.

(Interact with the console): Qingyi: So it was Ethereals. No wonder I heard a commotion nearby.; Qingyi: Don't worry, Manager. I got this.

(Defeat the Ethereals): Fairy: Please proceed along the newly opened path.

(Reach the marked destination): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The pile over there looks like... a supply box!; Qingyi: Let's clear out the Ethereals quickly.

(Interact with Sturdy Supply Box): Fairy: Note: This cargo crate looks the same as the lost items. The label on it states "Disposal". The crate doesn't seem to be damaged.; So, the labels were really mixed up.; Phew, the contents are undamaged!; Fairy: I have marked the current location. Public Security will retrieve the items. You can proceed to the next location.

(AFter the conversation): Qingyi: Let's get going, Manager.

(Approach the console): Fairy: Please use the container console to connect the paths.

(Reach the marked location): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍UghUghText for Wise / AahAahText for Belle‍), Ethereals again...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): They're not mutated from what was in the container, right?

(Defeat the Ethereals): Fairy: An item matching the appearance of a supply box has been detected nearby.

(Interact with Sturdy Supply Box): Fairy: Note: This cargo crate looks the same as the lost items. The label on it states "Disposal". The crate doesn't seem to be damaged.; And here we go again!; Great. Found some more.; Fairy: The location of the remaining supplies has been marked out. There is good news. The supplies are still in good condition.; Qingyi: Oh? That's good. Looks like we'll be able to find everything we need soon. Manager, let's get to work.

(Approach the gate): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Huh? There are two container consoles here?; Qingyi: It might be worth investigating.

(Open the gate): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The door is open! The supplies are right behind it!

(Interact with Dusty Boxes): Dusty Boxes: These crates are the last of the lost items. Unlike the previous batch, these crates are covered in dust. It looks like each crate has been in close contact with the ground.; Dusty Boxes: After careful inspection, the sturdy boxes have no signs of damage.; Dusty Boxes: Next to the "Disposal" label on one of the boxes, you notice a section of similar size to the label that is dustier than the rest of the box.; What's going on?; Touch it.; Dusty Boxes: This dustier section is sticky, as though another label had been stuck on it and removed.; Qingyi: What's up, Manager? Why are you staring at the box?; Qingyi, look at this.; I think some other label was stuck on it!; Qingyi: Oh, you're sharp. Perhaps that courier wasn't lying about sticking on the right labels. Alright, it's getting late and we've found all the items. We should leave the Hollow quickly.; Huh? That's it?; Don't you think it's strange?; Qingyi: Hmm, it is odd, but this world is full of unusual occurrences. We can't draw any conclusions from this.; Yeah, you're right...; Qingyi: Let's head back, Manager. Everyone's waiting for us.

(After completing Emergency Retrieval): Sometime later, with the help of Public Security, the lost supplies are successfully retrieved from the Hollow.
The setup for the Ultimate Angler Championship and the lighthouse repairs can proceed without a hitch.; A few days later, the Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship officially begins.; President Qi: During the championship preparations, a logistics mishap nearly resulted in the loss of our supplies to the Hollow. Thankfully, with the help of Public Security, we managed to recover them just in time.; President Qi: Though we faced many challenges along the way, everyone at the Ridu Fishing Association worked hand in hand to overcome them. Today, we've gathered here for a grand celebration of fishing enthusiasts!; President Qi: I hope each of you enjoys the thrill of fishing, and I look forward to seeing true Ultimate Anglers conquer Sea Crow's Nest with their exceptional skills! Thank you all for your participation!; President Qi: Now, I hereby declare the start of the Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship!; Not long after...; President Qi: Qingyi, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), you made it! Haha, how was my speech? Pretty impressive, right?; Qingyi: Absolutely! President Qi, your speech is as uplifting as ever.; President Qi: Qingyi, you've always stopped me from mentioning Public Security in public, saying it could lead to leaks or negative consequences. What changed this time?; Qingyi: You've always said your speeches lacked impact. Considering how tough it was to pull off this championship, it's worth emphasizing it in the story for a change.; President Qi: Haha, you always know how to make a point! Alright, go enjoy yourselves. I need to check in with old McDunn about the rented boats. We'll set sail late tonight — I'll have him pick a convenient spot.; Qingyi: See you around, President Qi.

Qingyi: It's a relief to see the Elpis Ultimate Angler Championship finally underway.

Mr. McDunn has never minced his words with you.

Now he knows what you're capable of!

Qingyi: Oh, Manager, are you sticking up for me? Thanks for that.

Qingyi: Over the past few days, I've noticed that Mr. McDunn seems to have a deep grudge against Public Security.

Qingyi: Yet, despite his sharp tongue, he didn't take the opportunity to retaliate. That kind of upright attitude earns my respect.

Qingyi: As a Public Security Officer, some degree of resentment is inevitable. I've long since grown used to it. But if there's ever a way to resolve such grievances, I'd gladly give it a try.

I'll be with you all the way, Qingyi!

Qingyi: Thank you, Manager.

I'll protect you, Qingyi!

Qingyi: Pfft, leave the protection to us officers, okay?

Qingyi: Manager, I need to return to the precinct for a while, so I won't be able to stay here and practice with you.

Aren't you on vacation?

Do you have to work overtime?

Qingyi: *sigh* A Public Security officer's vacation is never truly restful. But don't worry — I won't miss the official competition. When have I ever broken a promise?

'Kay, I'll wait for you.

I trust you!

Qingyi: Catch you later, Manager!
