Dialogue
- (Idle)
- Qingyi: I can't believe all these challengers have come.
- NPC 1: Eat your way through our Very Very Very Spicy Challenge and your meal's on the house!
- NPC 2: On the house! Can you handle spicy food?
- NPC 3: I'm not too bad at it... Are we getting a freebie on our first outing?
- NPC 4: I heard that challenge is suuuper spicy!
- NPC 5: Huh? I'm kinda curious now.
- (Talk to Qingyi)
- Qingyi: Surely it can't be THAT spicy if there's so many challengers, right? Would you like to try it for yourself, Manager?
Do you have some kind of off-switch for your tastebuds, Qingyi...- You'd definitely win...
- Qingyi: Exactly. My tastebuds have their own off-switch, which is why...
- Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: Are you guys here for the Very Very Very Spicy Challenge?
- Qingyi: Indeed.
- Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: Okay, just eat ten bites of the Very Very Very Spicy Hot Pot, and your meal is free.
- Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: You can give up at any time — but you'll be charged the full amount for the meal.
- Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: So then, who will be taking on the challenge?
- It's... me!
Significant Trust increase with Qingyi- Qingyi: Hmm... Have you decided to take this awe-inspiring challenge upon yourself? Amazing!
- Qingyi: Don't force yourself — I mean, it's very very very spicy. We wouldn't want you to get an upset stomach.
- I regret saying anything...
- Qingyi: Don't worry. It doesn't matter if you lose. I'll cover the bill.
- (One of the following screens appears)
-
- Turns out it's not as spicy you thought, and you got a free meal easily.
But it was only possible because after the third bite, your tastebuds were completely destroyed...
-
- It's so spicy you can't even open your eyes! Qingyi shoves cup after cup of cooling soybean milk into your hands.
You somehow finally manage to hold on to the spicy end for your free meal!
- Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: Congratulations! Challenge complete! Please take this — it's some pain-relief medicine for you!
- ...
- This pain relief gel isn't very appealing...
- Qingyi: I'm a little worried about you, Manager. I took the liberty of scanning your vitals. Let me analyze the results...
- Qingyi: Good. No major issues. I'm relieved.
- Qingyi: Thanks to you, Manager, I've harvested enough bioenergy to charge my battery for two whole days.
- Qingyi: I got to enjoy all kinds of food I find nostalgic, so that was good.
- Qingyi...
- Qingyi: Very well. In that case, you enjoy your meal, Manager.
- (One of the following screens appears)
-
- You and Qingyi stuff yourselves before the challenge to fortify your stomachs with something.
Yet somehow after many trials and tribulations, Qingyi stumbles at the final bite to secure her free meal...
-
- You and Qingyi stuff yourselves before the challenge to fortify your stomachs with something.
After swallowing her ninth mouthful of spicy hot pot, Qingyi swigs down several large gulps of water before unfortunately giving up...
- Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: What a pity, you were so close to completing the challenge. Thank you very much for coming!
- How surprising... I can't believe it was that spicy.
- Not even intelligent constructs can take it...
Trust increase with Qingyi
- Qingyi: No. Automatons have a very strong stomach and in extreme circumstances can even consume poison without any issue.
- Huh?! Does that mean this hot pot...
- Qingyi: My system has determined it's not edible.
- Qingyi: During the challenge just now, I had to constantly persuade the bioenergy furnace that it was okay to eat... That's why I timed out. What a shame.
- (Both options lead to)
- Trust increase with Qingyi
- (Idle)
- Qingyi: The flavor is very authentic.
- (Talk to Qingyi again, optional)
- Qingyi: Hot pot always leaves you feeling satisfied.
