"Escape from Certain Doom"

Video Summary: Bad luck will run out someday.

Story Description: Following the guidance of the Carrot data, you escape the Hollow with your shifu, only to find yourselves staring down a vast ocean. Just as you wonder how to cross the sea, a boat happens to pass by.

After entering the fissure, with a familiar rush of dizziness, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍) and Yixuan arrive at the deserted area at the edge of the Hollow.

The two are greeted by azure waves, blue skies, as well as the city across the sea.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Shifu, we finally made it!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But this looks like... the sea... We're still a ways away from Waifei Peninsula... How do we get across?

Yixuan: Well... Given our current options...

Yixuan: (‍Wise / Belle‍), can you swim?

S—Swim?

...Wait a minute!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Swim? Shifu, you mean... you want us to swim across?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That looks a bit far... Shifu, is this really necessary?

Yixuan: Relax, it's only a last resort. The crash made a lot of noise, I'm sure someone will come and investigate.

Yixuan: Besides, there's a waterway toward Failume Heights nearby. We should be seeing ships around.

Thank goodness...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Thank goodness... (‍I really thought you were going to swim over. / Shifu, I really thought you were going to swim all the way over.‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Over there! A ship!

The two waves for help. They are brought aboard promptly by the passing cargo ship.

Surf the Waves

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

"Surf the Waves"

Video Summary: The sound of the sea breeze lingers in your ears.

Story Description: You take the boat with Master Yixuan to the Waifei Peninsula. Yixuan contacts a senior sister from Yunkui Summit to come meet you... You can't help but wonder what kind of person this senior will be.

After traveling for a while, the ship slowly docks by the shore.

The Captain: Did you just come out of Lemnian Hollow? You're lucky to be alive.

Yixuan: Yeah. Thanks so much for giving us a lift.

Yixuan: You heading to Waifei? I can get someone to escort you into the city.

Yixuan: That won't be necessary — just let us off at the shore. Someone will be there to meet us. Appreciate the offer though.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Sorry, what were you saying? I didn't understand a word... / Shifu, what are you saying? I couldn't understand a thing...‍)

Yixuan: Oh, it's just a local dialect. Don't worry about it.

Yixuan: I contacted your senior earlier. She'll come pick us up here.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): My senior? Right... Yunkui Summit has many disciples. There must be others before me.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍But since Belle and I only just became disciples today, does that make us the juniors of juniors in Yunkui Summit? / And since Wise and I only just became disciples today, we're probably the juniors' juniors...‍)

Yixuan: That's right. I have a few other disciples. Since you joined last, you are indeed everyone's juniors.

Yixuan: But don't stress over it, just treat them normally. You can also ask them for help if you need anything.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Shifu, what are my seniors like? I'm curious...

Yixuan: Patience. You'll see soon enough.

Here Comes Fufu!

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

"Here Comes Fufu!"

Video Summary: Your adorable Senior Sister!

Story Description: You arrive at port, where Yunkui Summit's Ju Fufu has come to welcome you. She's a lovely and enthusiastic senior sister. Since there's nothing urgent at the moment, why not take a stroll around Waifei Peninsula with her?

Soon after, the ship arrives at a nearby mooring.

The Captain: So this is the place? You said someone will pick you up?

Yixuan: Yes. I've contacted my disciple. She's on her way, so she should be here soo—

Ju Fufu: Sorry to keep you waiting, Shifu... Fufu's here! Huh? Who's this?

Ju Fufu: Aha! So you must be the little junior Shifu spoke of!

Ju Fufu: Wait. You seem kinda familiar. Have we met before? Hmm... I don't quite remember.

Ju Fufu: Anyway, let me introduce myself again. I'm Ju Fufu, and I'll be your senior here!

Ju Fufu: Shifu was being all secretive before. I see now we have quite the interesting junior here! Hehe.

Ju Fufu: You've got nothing to worry about with Senior Fufu around! If anything comes up, I'll handle it!

Thank you, Senior Fufu!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Thank you so much, Senior Fufu. If I have any questions, I'll be sure to ask.

Ju Fufu: Uh-huh! Ask me anything: food, entertainment, training... Oh! I know a great teahouse nearby!

Yixuan: Fufu... Let's continue the conversation when we've returned to Suibian Temple. We've just exited a Hollow.

Ju Fufu: Ah, I'm sorry, Shifu... I got a bit too excited.

Ju Fufu: I'll take you to the temple now. Oh... would it be okay if I showed Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍) around on the way back?

Yixuan: Sure, I'll leave that to you.

Yixuan: Then I'll see you back at Suibian Temple. Don't stay out too long.

Ju Fufu: Got it. Oh, right! Let me pay the boat fare first.

Ju Fufu: Thank you for helping us. How much do we owe you?

The Captain: Young lady... it sounds like you're all from Suibian Temple, yes? It's not my place to take your Dennies, no, no.

Yixuan: Huh? But it's what we owe you.

The Captain: I can't take your Dennies. People like me wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you all back then... Anyway, you should go back and rest now!

The Captain: Oh, and make sure you steer clear of the Hollow from now on.

Ju Fufu: Alright, we got it! Thank you so much! If you need any help in the future, come find us at Suibian Temple!

The Captain: Haha, thank you kindly.

After everyone bids the captain goodbye, Yixuan heads back to the temple ahead of them to deal with other matters.

Ju Fufu: Hm... well, Shifu's gone back to Suibian Temple, so I guess we're free to do whatever now.

Yixuan: C'mon, (‍Wise / Belle‍), I'll show you around... there's plenty of fun to be had here!

Talk to Senior Fufu

Senior Fufu wants to show us around Waifei Peninsula. It's the perfect chance to walk around and explore with her.

Ju Fufu: Junior, the terrain in Waifei Peninsula is quite complex. We're currently in the Upper Level, and the nearest urban area is called Failume Heights.

Ju Fufu: There's tons of unique shops there — you'll love them!

Ju Fufu: When you're ready, we'll set off and go take a look.

Let's go!

Ju Fufu: Great, let me show you around.

Wait a moment...

Ju Fufu: Hmm... got it. Take a quick breather, then we'll head out.
(Repeat dialogue)

(While accompanying Ju Fufu): Ju Fufu: Junior (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), this is your first time in Waifei, right?; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Yeah, I've never been here before.Yeah, I've never been here before.Text for Wise / Yep, this is my first time around these parts.Yep, this is my first time around these parts.Text for Belle‍); Ju Fufu: Hehe... Then stay close to me, or you might get lost!

(Talk to Ju Fufu): Ju Fufu: Junior! Come over here quick! You can see lots of cool stuff from this spot!; Ju Fufu: Look, that's the Lemnian Hollow.; Yeah...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is it because we're near the sea and the terrain's so open? It really does look huge.; Ju Fufu: Yeah, it's quite a sight from here... just hope it doesn't get any bigger.; Ju Fufu: The city at the foot of this mountain is Failume Heights. Built along the mountainside, the terrain's a bit tricky... but hey, that's part of what makes it unique.; Ju Fufu: Like, check it out... there's a decorative sculpture unique to Waifei Peninsula on this mountain!; That's...; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Is that... a cicada sculpture?; Ju Fufu: That's right! They say cicadas, also called Chan by us locals, stay dormant underground for ages, then after breaking through the soil, they grow wings that very night and take off!; Ju Fufu: Seems like here in Waifei Peninsula, cicadas symbolize breaking through the darkness and walking towards a brighter life... Hmm, that's actually quite an interesting meaning.; Sounds like a positive message.; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sounds like it has quite a positive message.; Ju Fufu: Yup! There are quite a few people in Waifei Peninsula who lost their families when the old capital fell. But no one's given up hope — everyone's still fighting hard to make a life for themselves.; Ju Fufu: C'mon, let's go check out the city! There're tons of fun spots around here besides these sculptures.

Chat with Senior Fufu

(While accompanying Ju Fufu): Ju Fufu: Check this out — Weifei's iconic cable car!; Ju Fufu: Getting around here on foot's a real pain, the cable cars make it way easier.; Ju Fufu: Let's ride this one down!; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Huh... Let's do it. You don't see these anywhere else.Huh... Let's do it. You don't see these anywhere else.Text for Wise / fSure. You really don't see these anywhere else.fSure. You really don't see these anywhere else.Text for Belle‍); Ju Fufu: Sit tight, buckle up — It's cable car time!

(Talk to Cable Car Staff): Cable Car Staff: Welcome aboard the Waifei Peninsula cable car. Please board in an orderly manner before the doors close.; (The next cable car is about to depart. Would you like to get on?); Take the cable car

Listen to Senior Fufu introduce Failume Heights

Senior Fufu wants to show us around Waifei Peninsula. It's the perfect chance to walk around and explore with her.

Ju Fufu: Hey (‍Wise / Belle‍), how'd you like the cable car ride?

Not bad!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Not bad... and you get to see all kinds of street views along the way, seems pretty interesting.

Ju Fufu: Hehe, I actually know an even better spot for sightseeing.

Ju Fufu: C'mon, I'll show you around!

Walk around with Senior Fufu

(Talk to Ju Fufu)

Ju Fufu: (‍Look, junior! / Hey, check it out!‍) You can see all the shops in Failume Heights from here!

Awesome!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Hmm... this place is cool. The vibe around here is totally different from Janus Quarter.

Ju Fufu: That's right, people call this street Lumelux Road. Back before the city blocks were built, people would come here to sell Lumite ore they'd mined from the Hollow.

Ju Fufu: A bunch of Porcelume craftsmen set up their stalls here... Over time, it became the Porcelume Market, and eventually developed into the bustling street you see now.

Ju Fufu: I know tons of fun facts like this! Hit me up if you've got any questions!

Lumite ore?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Lumite ore... what exactly is that?

Ju Fufu: Lumite ore is a special mineral mined in the Lemnian Hollow that can be processed into Porcelume.

Ju Fufu: Since Porcelume can block Ether, it's used to make equipment for exploring Hollows.

Ju Fufu: There are many other uses too, like making reagents for Ether aptitude testing and whatnot.

There's quite a few workers around here.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): With the Porcelume industry being so important, there's gotta be tons of workers here. This whole place looks just like a mining town.

Ju Fufu: Yup! Mining Lumite ore in the Lemnian Hollow used to be the miners' main livelihood, and that's how this mining town came to be.

Ju Fufu: But now TOPS subsidiaries have monopolized the Lumite ore mining operations, and most of the original workers have become their employees.

Ju Fufu: Looks like we'll have to deal with TOPS for this investigation.

This place is really buzzing.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The architecture here is pretty unique, and there's this sweet scent in the air too.

Ju Fufu: Yeah! The shops here are super unique, and they've got these amazing snacks you can only find in Failume Heights! I'll take you to check them out in a bit!

Ju Fufu: The Waifei Peninsula has a unique dialect. If you wanna learn it, you can ask Shifu to teach you.

Let's get going.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Senior, let's go to the city area!

Ju Fufu: Alright! Let me show you around!

Ju Fufu: This street's got all kinds of cool stuff!

(Talk to Ju Fufu again): Ju Fufu: The market at Failume Heights is just ahead — there're so many cool shops there to check out!; Ju Fufu: Follow me, I'll show you around!

(While accompanying Ju Fufu): Ju Fufu: So, what'd you think? Not bad, huh?; (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Yeah, the view from up there was really something.; Ju Fufu: Glad you liked it, Junior (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)!; Ju Fufu: The streets here are really cool too — Come on, I'll show you around!

(Approach Yum Cha Sin): Ju Fufu: Their tea here has a fresh, delicate flavor.; Ju Fufu: Shifu likes their tea a lot too.; Ju Fufu: Once you're settled in, we can come try it together

(Talk to Sweety): Lee: *cough cough*... Ah, nothing keeps you alert and quenches your thirst like a cup of green tea!; Lee: Fresh tea leaves, now in stock! Come and have a taste! Yum Cha Sin's signature dim sum, new specials every day! Uh... did I get my lines right?; Sweety: That's right, that's right! Remember to speak up when greeting customers... and you can even try showing off your kung fu moves!; Sweety: If you don't stand out, then customers will quickly lose interest!; Lee: Got it! I'll give it another shot!; Sweety: Hold on, looks like we've got a customer... Welcome to Yum Cha Sin! Oh... why, if it isn't Master Ju Fufu.; Sweety: And who is this beside you? A new young master from Suibian Temple?; Yeah, I just arrived!; Ju Fufu: That's right, (‍he's my junior, Wise.he's my junior, Wise.Text for Wise / this is my junior disciple, Belle.this is my junior disciple, Belle.Text for Belle‍); Ju Fufu: Junior, the food is amazing at Yum Cha Sin!; Sweety: Well then, since you're already here, why not have a cup of tea... We just got some fresh leaves in today.; Lee: Welcome, dear customers. Please come in~; Ju Fufu: Sorry not today, we can come back later!; Ju Fufu: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), once we're settled in at Suibian Temple, I'll bring you back here for a taste!

(Appoach Good Goods): Ju Fufu: This shop is called Good Goods — they have a bunch of fun stuff too!; Ju Fufu: Let's come back later and pick up a few souvenirs.

(Talk to Reed): Reed: Come, see for yourself! Failume Heights has all the goods you need, and more!; Reed: Porcelume ornaments, home goods, handy tools... You can find everything you want right here!; Reed: (‍Hello, there! You're not from around here, are you?Hello, there! You're not from around here, are you?Text for Wise / Hey miss, you're not from around here, are you?Hey miss, you're not from around here, are you?Text for Belle‍) Why don't you have a look around my shop? I guarantee you'll love our unique selection of souvenirs!; Ju Fufu: This is our new disciple from Suibian Temple! I'm sure you'll be seeing us around from now on.; Reed: Oh? Is that so! So you're the little master from Yunkui Summit! Well then, just tell me what you want — I'll give you a special discount!; Thank you!; Ju Fufu: Oh, a discount... Hmm... but we should head back to Suibian Temple first.; Ju Fufu: I'll bring my junior disciple back to show (‍himhimText for Wise / herherText for Belle‍) around later!

(Approach Fluffy): Ju Fufu: Fluffy is full of adorable animals!; Ju Fufu: I always have to fight the urge to go in when I walk past!

(Talk to Cairn): Cairn: P-Please come check out "Fluffy"!; Cairn: The little ones in the store are all well-behaved... and healthy.; Cairn: They'll keep you company when you're tired... They definitely won't let you down!; Ju Fufu: Junior, look! This shop is full of little adorable animals!; Cairn: Welcome... Welcome, you two! Would you like to pet these little ones?; So adorable...; Cairn: Hehe, they can totally understand your compliments!; Ju Fufu: This pet shop has so many adorable animals! Sometimes I come here just to hang out with them... though for some reason, some of the little ones seem pretty scared of me.; Ju Fufu: Let's head back to Suibian Temple first.; Cairn: I see... N—No worries! Just be sure to stop by some other time! The little ones will be waiting for you!; While they were chatting, a sudden commotion has erupted nearby.

Check the nearby anomalies

Sounds like there‘s an argument nearby... Head over and see what's going on.

(Idle): Impatient Worker: So... how many people were actually taken to the hospital after the incident this time?; Cautious Construction Worker: Quite a few! They're all waiting for us to fight for compensation!; Cautious Construction Worker: No matter what, we need an explanation for these past few days!

(Talk to Impatient Worker): Cautious Construction Worker: *sigh* Looks like we'll just have to wait for Damian to give us a proper explanation...; Impatient Worker: But... who knows how long they're gonna drag this out?; Cautious Construction Worker: I guess we'll have to wait! You're not seriously thinking of going against them and causing trouble, are you?; Cautious Construction Worker: At that point, you can forget about claiming compensation. You'll probably end up being sued until you're flat broke!

(Talk to Optimistic Worker): Melancholic Worker: What should I do... If the accident compensation doesn't come through soon, I won't have money for anti-corruption medicine this month...; Melancholic Worker: If this keeps up, my Corruption symptoms are only going to get worse...; Optimistic Worker: Why don't you give Dr. Lohr's Alleviating Water a shot?; Optimistic Worker: I heard that stuff has side effects, but hey — at least it's cheap!

(Talk to TOPS Employee)

Hidden Incident

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

"Hidden Incident"

Video Summary: Street rumors hide unknown truths.

Anxious Worker: The compensation you promised before... Why hasn't it been issued yet?

Anxious Worker: When are the Dennies coming? I have someone sick at home waiting for medicine...

TOPS Employee: Enough. Master Damian said the compensation will take time to process. Expect a reply in two days.

Anxious Worker: Two days? It's already taking forever... Are you stalling on purpose?

Cowardly Worker: D—Don't push us too far!... If you don't give us an explanation for the incident, we'll expose you to the papers!

TOPS Employee: Oh? You might want to rethink that.

TOPS Employee: Master Damian promised compensation and he will deliver accordingly. That's his duty as the head of Porcelumex.

TOPS Employee: But if you refuse to believe Master Damian and insist on causing a scene... you'll have to deal with the consequences.

TOPS Employee: Don't forget — Porcelumex has access to the best lawyers of TOPS, as well as many other... necessary means.

Cowardly Worker: Ugh... I—I guess we'll wait.

Anxious Worker: Three days! If we don't get an answer in three days, we're going straight to Damian next time!

'

After some discussion, the workers depart.

Ju Fufu: Ah... What were these guys arguing over? I thought there was going to be a fight.

Ju Fufu: Something about compensation... A safety accident?

I remember!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I remember. The captain who rescued us mentioned something about a safety accident in the Porcelume production area inside the Hollow. / Oh, yeah... The captain who rescued us mentioned that. Apparently there was an accident at the Porcelume production site inside the Hollow...‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Those workers must be involved. I think they were asking TOPS for compensation?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sounds like that Damian guy's the one in charge around here... Seems like he's hiding something.

Ju Fufu: Yeah, you're right! TOPS subsidiary... it just sounds evil!

Ju Fufu: If a shady company like that gets in my way, I'd give 'em a good beating! Just like the protagonist from "The Demon-Vanquishing Tiger," I'll teach them a lesson.

The Demon-Vanquishing Tiger?

I remember that movie!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The Demon-Vanquishing Tiger? (‍That one's a classic! I think the protagonist was a tiger Thiren, a skilled mystic called... What was it again? / Ah, I remember that movie. I think the protagonist was a tiger Thiren, a skilled mystic called... Uh, what was it again?‍)

Ju Fufu: Hu Weiwei! My childhood idol!

Ju Fufu: ...Though, I learned later on that she wasn't a tiger Thiren like me. She was actually played by a cat Thiren.

Ju Fufu: But I guess that couldn't be helped. Tiger Thirens are rare, after all.

Tiger Thiren?

Oh, I see...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So Senior Fufu is really a tiger Thiren... When I heard the name Ju Fufu before, I thought, um...

Ju Fufu: Hmm? What are you trying to say?! Did you think I was an orange cat Thiren?

Of course not!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍O—Of course not! Just look at you, nobody would EVER mistake you for an orange cat Thiren! / Of course not! Just look at you... How can you possibly be an orange cat Thiren!‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍But orange cat Thirens are cute too! Unless, Senior Fufu...you have something against them? / ...But orange cat Thirens are cute too! Unless, Senior Fufu... you have something against them?‍)

Orange cat Thirens are super cute too!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...Orange cat Thirens are cute too! Unless, Senior Fufu... you have something against them?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Orange cat Thirens are cute too! Unless, Senior Fufu... you have something against them?

Ju Fufu: Huh? Eh? N—No, that's not what I mean!

Ju Fufu: I mean, orange cats look lazy and they aren't the best fighters... Not saying they're bad or anything, they're just not really my style...

Ju Fufu: ...Ahem! What I'm trying to say is, I don't have anything against them! Yeah... that's my final verdict as your senior!

Ju Fufu: Anyway, let's stop there with the orange cats and hurry back to Suibian Temple. Everyone's waiting for us.

Chat with Senior Fufu

It seems like their argument just now has something to do with this investigation... Better ask Senior about it.

Ju Fufu: Junior, Suibian Temple is right over there, but the back entrance is closed for now. We'll need to take a detour to the main entrance.

Ju Fufu: But hey, don't worry! Taking the long way around is totally worth it.

Ju Fufu: I know this cool spot on the way over.

Ju Fufu: Let's go! Follow me!

Head to the Cable Car platform and take in the view

Senior Fufu wants to show us a scenic spot. Let's go check it out with her.

Ju Fufu: Junior, over here, quick!

Ju Fufu: See that cable car down there? It's a signature feature of the Waifei Peninsula. You can hop on and ride straight to the Hollow's Porcelume processing area.

Ju Fufu: But that one's TOPS equipment. Regular folks don't have clearance to ride it.

Cable car into the Hollow?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The cable car goes straight into the Hollow? What's the deal with that?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): In theory, with the spatial distortions in the Hollow, it should be impossible to build any fixed transportation infrastructure like this...

Ju Fufu: Yeah, that's usually how it works, but there's this stable fissure in the Lemnian Hollow that hasn't wavered at all for years.

Ju Fufu: It was first discovered by miners who were extracting Lumite ore, and they used it as a shortcut. Later, TOPS invested money to build cable cars here for large-scale mining operations.

Ju Fufu: It's definitely one of the local specialties!

Oh, I see!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Oh, I see... You know so much, senior!

Ju Fufu: Of course! I am your senior disciple after all.

Ju Fufu: Right, here's my secret viewing spot. I'm only telling you about it!

Ju Fufu: Don't tell the others I've been taking you around everywhere when you see the others later!

Alright!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Don't worry, Senior! My lips are sealed!

Ju Fufu: Hehe, great! C'mon, I'll take you back to Suibian Temple!

Head to Suibian Temple with Senior Fufu

(While accompanying Ju Fufu): Ju Fufu: Up ahead — that's the temple's main gate.

(Approach Suibian Temple): The gate of Suibian Temple is plain and sturdy. It appears that it's been around for quite some time.; Enter Suibian Temple

Video Summary: A meeting of senior disciples.

Ju Fufu: Welcome, junior, to the one and only — Suibian Temple!

Ju Fufu: Yinhu!

Ju Fufu: Shiyuan! The newcomer is here!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Ah! Kitty!

Ju Fufu: Catch it!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Ah... Shifu!

Yixuan: Please, excuse them

Ju Fufu: And welcome to Suibian Temple

Here Comes a New Disciple

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

"Here Comes a New Disciple"

Video Summary: The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of Yunkui Summit.

Story Description: At Suibian Temple, Pan Yinhu and Senior Brother Ye Shiyuan briefly explain the temple's situation and speculate that the identity of the mastermind behind the attack might not be so simple. The investigation can no longer be concealed, and it has likely caught the attention of many other parties.

Ju Fufu: That startled me...

Ju Fufu: Where did it come from? Maybe it's someone's pet?

Yixuan: I'll find a safe place for it, then check with the neighbors to see if anyone knows where it came from.

Yixuan: Fufu, since (‍Wise / Belle‍) is here, why don't you introduce her to everyone and give him a rundown of the temple?

Ju Fufu: No problem. Leave it to me, Shifu!

Yixuan: I'll take care of this little fella first... (‍Wise / Belle‍), remember to come see me after.

Okay!

Of course!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Got it, Shifu.

Yixuan takes the mischievous orange cat to the inner courtyard.

Ju Fufu: Right, let me introduce you. This is our new junior, (‍Wise / Belle‍).

Ju Fufu: (‍Wise / Belle‍), these are your seniors, Ye Shiyuan and Pan Yinhu.

Hello, Seniors!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Nice to meet you! I'm Wise. I'm still learning the ropes here, so I'm grateful for any guidance you can offer. / Hey there! I'm Belle. I'm still learning the ropes here, so any guidance and support is greatly appreciated.‍)

Ye Shiyuan: Oh, your reputation precedes you. So this is the newcomer that Shifu has been mulling over?

Pan Yinhu: Very good, you look full of energy! Come, come... You must be hungry! What would you like to eat? I'll cook something for you!

Pan Yinhu: I'm in charge of the kitchen here at Yunkui Summit. If nothing else, I guarantee that my cooking will satisfy you, Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍).

Pan Yinhu: If you can't decide on what to have, I'll just make you some char siu buns. My char siu buns will make you fall over!

Ju Fufu: Is it ordering time? Wonderful! I would like some braised pork and fried chicken wings! And... um...

Ye Shiyuan: Senior Fufu... Junior Yinhu is offering to cook for Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍), not you. If you're hungry, have some dry bread from the storage. It'll mold if you don't eat it soon.

Ju Fufu: Huh? Oh... you're right. I should let junior place (‍his / her‍) order.

It's okay, I can eat the dry bread...

Senior Fufu can order!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I can eat the dry bread... Senior Fufu can order what she wants.

Ye Shiyuan: Why put yourself through that? Just let Senior Fufu take care of them.

Pan Yinhu: That's right! Senior Fufu will stuff it all down, even if she has to pinch her nostrils!

Ju Fufu: Hey, you two... I'm not a garbage disposal!

Ye Shiyuan: Please, Senior Fufu, try to show some empathy. Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍) and Shifu just fell into a Hollow and require ample rest and nutrition to recover.

Ye Shiyuan: Speaking of... We've flown in that airship before and haven't had any issues. So what happened this time?

Ye Shiyuan: Hmm... Shifu even took out a new accident insurance policy just before her trip. Awfully convenient, isn't it...

Ye Shiyuan: And all this was a part of her plan to... claim insurance Dennies. Yes, this makes sense.

Pan Yinhu: Don't let your cynical imagination run away with you, Senior Shiyuan! Yunkui Summit's finances aren't that terrible!

Pan Yinhu: Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍), pay him no mind... He tends to question everything. But I must ask, what exactly happened to you and Shifu?

We were attacked...

Someone set up an ambush.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I couldn't tell you out in public, but...our airship was attacked.

Ju Fufu: Attacked? So it wasn't an accident?

Yeah!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That's right. Shifu checked the airship after the crash. Looks like someone launched a rocket at it.

Ju Fufu: How dare they attack members of Yunkui Summit! We'll teach them a lesson once we find out who they are.

Ye Shiyuan: Hmm... This attack might be an attempt to obstruct our investigation.

Ye Shiyuan: Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍), I heard Shifu say you are "Phaethon," the famous Proxy. Yes?

Ye Shiyuan: Now that you're part of Yunkui Summit, our Hollow investigation progress will surely speed up...

Ye Shiyuan: It's possible that someone out there didn't want to see that happen, hence the airship ambush.

Ye Shiyuan: The operation was also arranged in secret by the mayor, yet somehow, someone learned of it...

Ye Shiyuan: According to the original schedule, you and your sibling were supposed to take the airship to Waifei Peninsula together.

Ye Shiyuan: If it weren't for Shifu changing it at the last minute and deciding to escort you personally, things might have taken a grim turn.

I see...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍I see... It's a good thing she was there. / I see... It's all thanks to Shifu, otherwise we really would be in trouble.‍)

Pan Yinhu: That's right. Shifu decided to go because her reading of the trip showed signs of danger.

Pan Yinhu: Seems her divinations were as accurate as ever.

Pan Yinhu: But with this airship crash, I bet a lot of people are aware that Yunkui Summit has returned to Suibian Temple now.

Ye Shiyuan: Don't worry, Junior Yinhu. With Shifu here, those scoundrels won't dare to come pick a fight.

Returned?

What do you mean?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What do you mean by "returned"? Don't you live here?

Ju Fufu: This isn't where Yunkui Summit's main sect lies. Suibian Temple is just one of our older bases. Ever since the Old Capital fell, hardly anyone's come back here.

Ju Fufu: We reconvened in secret here this time per the mayor's request, to investigate Lemnian Hollow.

Ju Fufu: We tried our best to tidy up the place ahead of time, but the accommodations are still less than ideal... Please accept our apologies, Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍).

I see...

It's fine.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I see... it's fine. I'm not too picky about living conditions. Thank you all for going through the trouble.

Ju Fufu: We have other core members of Suibian Temple. Right now, they're out on their own investigation missions. I'll save the introductions for when you meet.

Pan Yinhu: Senior Fufu, Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍) must be tired...shouldn't we let (‍his / her‍) rest? I'll prepare the food in the meantime.

Ju Fufu: Oh! You're right. We should let Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍) rest first.

There's no need to cook for me!

I'm really not hungry...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Thank you, Senior Yinhu, but there's no need to cook for me. I'm really not hungry. I'll take a look around and get familiar with the place instead.

Listen to Yixuan Shifu's introduction of Suibian Temple

Finally made it to Suibian Temple... Might as well look around and get familiar with my future home.

(Talk to Ju Fufu, optional): Ju Fufu: What do you think? Isn't Suibian Temple pretty fun?; Ju Fufu: Once you've got your stuff sorted, we can go explore the area again! I'd love to take you around and show you all those local specialties and shops I mentioned before!; You seem to really enjoy shopping?; Ju Fufu: Of course! Shopping isn't just about having fun, you know.; Ju Fufu: As disciples of Yunkui Summit, we roam the streets, fight for justice, and handle unfair situations! If someone needs help, we step up and take action!; Is this something Shifu taught you?; Ju Fufu: Uh, not really. Shifu's pretty laid-back. I actually picked this stuff up from kung fu movies.; Ju Fufu: I've noticed a lot of realistic training techniques in those movies, and I've been practicing them too! Like balancing on one finger or using a leaf to peel an apple…; Ju Fufu: I can teach you if you wanna learn!; That sounds amazing...; Ju Fufu: Right?! Hehehe! They say once you master it, you can even use flower petals or leaves as weapons!; Ju Fufu: When I run into thugs on the street, I can take them all down without barely lifting a finger.; Ju Fufu: But... I'm still not at Shifu's level.; Ju Fufu: If I were Shifu, it'd only take one stern look to make all the Ethereals around freeze up… I wonder what kind of technique she studied to learn that?; Ju Fufu: Hmm… One day, I'll be just like Shifu and overwhelm my opponents with my sheer presence!; I'm sure you will!; Ju Fufu: Heh heh... you sure are a charmer!

(Talk to Yixuan)

Suibian Temple's Past

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

"Suibian Temple's Past"

Video Summary: As the heart wills, as nature leads, as Suibian Temple is.

Story Description: Yixuan Shifu tells you about the surprisingly "casual" origins of Suibian Temple. Well, since you're here, might as well make yourselves at home.

Yixuan: (‍Wise / Belle‍), you're here. Have you met the others? Did they leave a good impression?

We've met!

My seniors are interesting people.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Senior Fufu introduced me to two of them. They've been very welcoming.

Yixuan: Glad to hear it. I'm afraid we can't hide Yunkui Summit's return to Suibian Temple any longer. Not after the airship crash.

Yixuan: Since operating covertly is no longer an option, we might experience increased difficulty for our investigation.

Yixuan: Not to mention that even the mayor's special airship route has been leaked somehow... Our opponent certainly knows what they're doing.

Yixuan: But don't worry. No matter what they're planning, we just need to take them as they come.

I'm glad you're here, Shifu.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm glad you're here, Shifu. As for the investigation, yes, let's take it one step at a time.

Yixuan: Well said. Anyway, why don't you familiarize yourself with the area. Suibian Temple doesn't accommodate visitors often, but at least it's quiet here.

Yixuan: If you have any questions, you can come ask me, or Fufu and the others.

Speaking of...

Suibian Temple's name...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Speaking of, I actually do have a question. Shifu, why is this place called Suibian Temple?...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): And, Senior Fufu said this place had been abandoned before. Why was that?

Yixuan: "Suibian" means something like "casual" or "whatever" in the local dialect. The name came from a senior member of Yunkui Summit. It's said that when she was scouting for a base location, she spent an entire week here surveying the feng shui.

Yixuan: When the original landowner then asked her why she was spending so much time there, she said she was just "casually looking." In actuality, she was trying to hide the fact that this place had outstanding feng shui.

Yixuan: Eventually, she bought the land to build the temple. The workers kept joking about it, and the name "Suibian Temple" stuck.

Sounds pretty casual, alright...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): And here I thought there's some deep philosophical meaning or something... So that's where it came from.

Yixuan: As for the reason why it was abandoned... that goes back to when the old capital fell. Story for another time, perhaps.

Yixuan: Despite the temple being uninhabited all this time, everyone still took turns to come here and clean up the place.

Yixuan: Since our current objective led us back here, Pan Yinhu and the rest returned earlier to set things up and check out the situation.

Yixuan: If the investigation goes smoothly from this point on, then we should expect to live here for a while. You'll have access to all facilities throughout your stay.

Understood!

I'll casually look around too.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Understood. I'll "casually look" around too.

Yixuan: You're a quick learner, aren't you.

Yixuan: One more thing, now that you are a nominal disciple of Yunkui Summit — As per tradition, every newcomer must receive a reading for blessings and to ward off misfortune.

Yixuan: Come find me when you are ready.

Yixuan: Alright (‍Wise / Belle‍), let me introduce you to the pillar of Suibian Temple.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Okay, Shifu. So... where is this pillar? Is this his pet?

Yixuan: No, this IS the pillar, A-Shuo.

Huh?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I understand, Shifu... Wait, no, I don't understand at all. How is it the pillar?

Yixuan: Oh, I forgot to explain. During all these years we were away, A-Shuo stayed at Suibian Temple, reading fortunes and offering guidance to worshippers. The temple's maintenance and expenses all depended on his business.

Oh, wait...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Oh, I see... see what exactly?! I have even more questions now — why is he doing fortune telling?!

Yixuan: Maybe it was the Corruption he suffered or something, I noticed he was super sensitive to Ether when I was raising him.

Yixuan: Later on, his ability to perceive fate became quite extraordinary, so I set him up with this little shop — helping others while helping himself.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Ah, so he really is a senior at the temple. Thank you for all your hard work!

Yixuan: If you want to get your fortune told, just shake this dragon turtle, and your fortune for today will be revealed.

Yixuan: Don't worry, if there's anything you don't understand, I'll break down the divination for you.

Find A-Shuo for a fortune reading

Finally made it to Suibian Temple... Might as well look around and get familiar with my future home.

(Talk to A-Shuo)
(Enter Fortune Reading)

Ask Yixuan Shifu to interpret the reading

Finally made it to Suibian Temple... Might as well look around and get familiar with my future home.

Yixuan: So, (‍Wise / Belle‍), have you gleaned understanding of its depth?

I think I understand.

I don't think I get it.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): This divination seems to say something without really saying anything at all, and yet somehow it's got certain things about me right.

Yixuan: Fate can be glimpsed, but heaven's secrets are hard to unravel. If you're curious, you should come and try it out more in the future.

Pan Yinhu: Junior (‍Wise / Belle‍), a Bangboo named Twentie seems to be looking for you outside.

Pan Yinhu: He said something about helping get stuff ready for the video store.

Ah! That's right!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Ah! That's right! It's the Bangboo I hired to look after the video store. Didn't expect it to arrive so soon!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Thanks for letting me know, Senior! I'll head over right now!

Talk to Twentie

Looks like Twentie's already here. Let's go find it and see what's up.

(Idle): Pan Yinhu: Hmm... thinking about it, we should definitely throw a welcome party...; Pan Yinhu: What should I cook...

Ju Fufu: That cat really did come from the neighbor's house.

Ju Fufu: Thankfully it wasn't hurt.

Yixuan: There's been a change in the investigation...

Yixuan: I should find time to do another divination.

Ye Shiyuan: I need to properly organize those technique documents...

Ye Shiyuan: If you have any questions, I can answer them right now.

(Talk to Twentie): Twentie: En-nhu na ne ne-ne. ((‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), you're here! Remember me? It's me, Twentie!); Twentie: Ehn-nhe! Ne-ne na! (Thanks for hiring me again! You're like my savior!); No way!; Twentie: Ennah-en-nehna! Ne-nuh-nah! (Ever since your (‍sistersisterText for Wise / brotherbrotherText for Belle‍) asked me to help run this branch, I've been waiting right here.); Twentie: En-nah-ehn, ne-na-nah! (I remember all the tips for running the shop!); I'll leave it to you, then.; Twentie: En-nah-ehn, en-nah! (Thanks so much for letting me watch the store this time. After Tin Master brought the videotapes, I immediately sorted everything by category!); Twentie: Ehn-ne-ne-nu-nuh. (He said you can go check out his stall when you have some time.); Yeah, I should go thank Tin Master.; Twentie: En-en-nah! (Leave it to me, the business is in good hands!)
(Opens Video Store interface)

(After managing the shop): Twentie: En-en-nhe, nhe na. (Oh right! (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), there's something really important.); Twentie: En-en-ehn, nhe na en. ((‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) said the recently collected video archives can be stored here temporarily before taking them back to Sixth Street.); Twentie: Nha-en, nhe na-nu. (Could you check it separately when you have time!)

Talk to Tin Master

The Waifei Peninsula Tin Master brought our stuff over, we should go thank him properly.

(Talk to Tin Master): Tin Master: Oh... so you're the Manager that the Tin Master from Sixth Street mentioned. The goods you requested for delivery have arrived.; Tin Master: I'll be here for a while, handling things for the new store. If you need anything, just let me know.; Thank you, Tin Master!; Tin Master: No need to thank me... A friend of Sixth Street's Tin Master is a friend of mine too.; Tin Master: Speaking of which... want to try my coffee? The beans brewed with mountain spring water here have their own unique flavor.

Return to Suibian Temple

Finally made it to Suibian Temple... Might as well look around and get familiar with my future home.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Everything's sorted. Let's head back to Suibian Temple. / Looks like everything's in order... Let's head back to Suibian Temple.‍)

(Approach Pan Yinhu): Pan Yinhu: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), your room's all ready for you.; Pan Yinhu: Is there anything else you need?

Contact (‍BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle‍) through the HDD

Now that I'm more familiar with things at Suibian Temple, I should let (‍Belle / Wise‍) know so (‍she / he‍) won't worry.

(Go inside the temple): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Hm... Looks like everything's accounted for.Hm... Looks like everything's accounted for.Text for Wise / Hm... Looks like we have everything here.Hm... Looks like we have everything here.Text for Belle‍); (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Better fill Belle in on what's happening.Better fill Belle in on what's happening.Text for Wise / I should update my bro.I should update my bro.Text for Belle‍)
(Interact with the HDD)

Unexpected Guest

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

"Unexpected Guest"

Video Summary: You had a close call, but you're not out of the woods yet.

Story Description: After chatting with (‍Belle / your brother‍) about the airship crash, it seems like someone's come knocking at your door.

The temporary HDD device activates. Moments later, a familiar voice comes through the line.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Hello? Can you hear me, Wise? It's Belle! / Hello? Belle, can you hear me?‍)

I can hear you.

(‍Wise? That's Senior Wise to you. / Belle? That's Junior Belle to you.‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I can hear you, but... aren't you using the wrong title?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍You should be calling me Senior Wise in public. / Ahem! You should be calling me Junior Belle!‍)

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Seriously, Wise... / Belle...‍) now's not the time for jokes!

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Shifu sent me a message earlier. She said that your airship had an accident and fell into the Hollow. She also said you were attacked... What's going on?

I'm never getting on an airship ever again!

Definitely no airship next time!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm definitely not flying on any airships ever again. The Cunning Hares also had an accident a while ago... Why is the airship accident rate so high in New Eridu?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I was followed by some strangers when I fell into the Hollow. Thankfully Shifu was there, so I got out in one piece.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): However... given everything that's happened... I don't think we're dealing with any ordinary investigation.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Belle / Wise‍), it's best that you stay home. Forget about coming here.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): I can't do that! What if something happens to you and I can't get there in time?

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): I calibrated the remote functions of the HDD system, but a closer look at the observation data of Lemnian Hollow raised a lot of questions.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): The remote link can't handle complex real-time calculations. If we're going to process this problematic data, I'll need to be there in person for live updates.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍And remember... / Besides...‍) Yixuan Shifu is going to teach us how to adapt to our Ether potentials. I don't want to become a liability to you when we run into danger in the future.

Okay...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I get it... but it isn't safe right now. If you're coming, we'll need to find the right time.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Now that our whereabouts have been exposed, there's no point in taking the dedicated airship route anymore. You're better off with a safer alternative. I'll talk to Shifu about it.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Okay. We can let Shifu arrange the specifics.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Speaking of... has Shifu taught you any techniques so far, (‍Seeenior Wise / Juuunior Belle‍)~?

I can ride the clouds!

I can fly!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Of course! Shifu taught me Yunkui Summit's secret Cloud Riding technique... Thanks to that, I was able to land safely during the airship crash.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Hold on... Are you serious?! You're not pulling my leg, are you? / Hold on... Are you serious?! You're kidding, right?‍)

True and tested!

I would never lie to you!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): It's true! Shifu also said, with enough training, even Eous can take off and ride the clouds like that!

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Such impressive techniques from Yunkui Summit... I can't wait anymore, I'm driving over right now! It won't take long! / I can't believe Yunkui Summit has such impressive techniques. Alright, that's it, I can't wait anymore, I'm on my way right now.‍)

Wait...!

...I might have exaggerated a bit.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, hold your Bangboo!... I might have exaggerated a bit. Don't worry about coming over right now, wait for Shifu's arrangements.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (‍Aha! I knew you were talking nonsense. Senior Wise, if you keep this up... watch out for Shifu's carrying buckets up a mountain, meditation on a pole, and wall-facing self-reflection punishment combo! / I knew you were making it up, Junior Belle! I'd be careful if I were you... Shifu might put you through the wringer with her punishments. Carrying heavy buckets of water up a mountain, balancing on one foot for hours, or worse standing in a corner by yourself... scary stuff.‍)

(There are noises from outside. Seems like Suibian Temple has visitors.)

I gotta go.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Alright, I gotta go. Looks like something's happening over here, so I'd better see what's going on. I'll talk to Shifu about your travel arrangements.

(SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Got it. Please take care of yourself over there... I'll see you later.
