Find the source of the cry for help by following the decibel changes

πŸ“ Herta Space Station Supply Zone

After stepping into the familiar Supply Zone, a cry for help could be heard from somewhere out of sight. Rescue the mysterious researcher who was trapped, and maybe he'll tell you something you don't know about the Comet Hunter.

Aaaah.

The {F#lass}{M#lad} over there, hello!
Options
What's the matter?
I β€” can't β€” hear β€” you!
???
???
What's the matter? Don't you see I'm stuck here? Young people these days. Your brain's fried, and your eyes ain't no good either.
???
???
Oh my gosh, the kids these days. Have you lost your hearing? At such a young age? Then take a look with your eyes. I'm stuck!
???
???
If you ask me, I'd say this shouldn't have happened. There should always be two people dealing with bearing blockages, one up top and one at the bottom, in case of repulsion bridge failures. But who could've guessed that none of the kids these days are willing to do this job now?
???
???
{F#Lass}{M#Lad}, the control device of the repulsion bridge is right opposite me. Take the elevator and reset it to let me come over, and then you can get out of here.
Options
I'll be right there.
How much will you pay me?
I don't want your money.
???
???
Hurry up. I won't let you go empty-handed.
???
???
Gee, kids these days, all you know is money.
???
???
So it's not enough then. Fine, use your imagination, I will pay you whatever you want.
Options
One hundred!
Ten thousand!
A hundred million!
???
???
Agreed!

Operate the control device and connect the repulsion bridge to save the old man

Wen Tianweng describes his past with the Comet Hunter Hosea and hands you a developed treasure map. Head to the marked location in the image to find Hosea's hidden possessions.

Good {F#lass}{M#boy}! If you operate on the control device over there, you can come to me... Cough, cough.
???
???
I've been trapped here all day. I'm hungry, thirsty, and running out of oxygen. I don't have the strength to speak. I have to reserve energy.

Ask about the old man's condition and investigate the stored items at the end of the repulsion bridge

???
???
You move pretty quick, {F#lass}{M#lad}. There are lots of nice things in these boxes here. Help yourself.
???
???
I am in a hurry. Bye!
Options
Why didn't you just turn on the switch yourself?
What about the big reward you promised me?
???
???
Why didn't I turn it on myself... Hoho, I suppose I didn't notice.
???
???
What a big reward... I don't remember making such a promise.
Options
Such terrible acting...
???
???
What? I can't hear you clearly, {F#lass}{M#lad}. Speak up!
Options
... Forget it, as long as you're fine.
So you just wanted to get my attention.
You're not trying to blackmail me... are you?
???
???
Of course I'm fine! Every muscle and bone, everything is fine.
???
???
No. I did not. Don't be ridiculous, {F#lass}{M#lad}.
???
???
I didn't ask for anything! How can you call this blackmail? At most I just took up a little of your time.
???
???
Come on, get out of the way, I can't hold it anymore. Come get me in the maintenance room if you need anything!

Go to the maintenance room! Maybe the old man will give you a reward

Out of Reach
???
???
Look, I don't know for how long this bottle-opener has been in the toolbox. I finally found it!
???
???
This bottle of soda is from four Amber Eras ago, Kapo-Kali, so fragrant. Ho... so refreshing!
???
???
Would you like a sip?
Options
Just one sip!
Must've gone flat ages ago, right?
So this is why you were in a hurry...
???
???
Good one, kid! You have no idea how frustrated I was just now. I had this tasty treat in my hand, but I couldn't drink it! I almost tried to pry it open with my teeth!
???
???
It's my own fault for bringing it with me when I went down to unblock those bearings. Why did I forget the bottle opener?
???
???
I haven't gone flat! When I was your age, I could light Gunn's beard on fire and set up Bernard with that chick in the Department of Insight, all in one go!
???
???
Sadly, I really was a bit flat in the "Station Breakout" incident.
???
???
Time flies, though. Now, I even forget to bring a bottle opener. I can't deny I am old.
???
???
Ha, what did you expect? Can't I reward myself with a bottle of soda after working so hard dealing with that blockage?
???
???
I just forgot to bring the opener. Sigh... I must admit I am old.
???
???
Let me tell you, the patent for this Kapo-Kali used to belong to the space station. This anti-gravity drink was once all the rage across the cosmos. I only have a few bottles left.
???
???
I'd better enjoy every last sip while I still can.
???
???
Oh, right! I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I am Wen Tianweng, the mechanic. I am number one around here in terms of age, experience, and skills.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Unfortunately, it doesn't mean jack, because I'm the only one in the maintenance room.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I had a partner once, but he was a scoundrel. Not only did he blow a big hole in the space station, but he also kept sending back these strange letters. He always blocked the bearings and made me go repair them.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I never got along with that troublemaker. It's as if we were fated to be at odds with each other... Ah, Akivili must've turned their back on me, that's why I got stuck in there.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I was stuck for so long it was starting to ache. Ouch!
Options
You promised to pay me...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Pay? Do I look rich to you?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I'm just a poor mechanic. I've been charged with dereliction of duty ever since that scoundrel made that giant hole in the station.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
If you want a reward, I don't have any, hehe...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
However! Since we've been talking this whole time and you seem agreeable enough, it's worth making an exception.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Listen carefully now. What I am going to give you is...
Options
A hundred treasure chests?
Ten Star Rail Special Passes?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Huh... what are you on about? I am only going to show you the way to make money. You are guaranteed to make a fortune.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
As for the origin of this fortune... well, it all started with this person.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Remember the scoundrel I was just talking about? His real name is Hosea Lazaro.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
That old fart has a bunch of grand titles, like former researcher in the Department of Cosmic Geography, former member of the Nameless, and member of the Armed Archaeologists.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
When he was still in the space station, he would boast about his inventions all day. Astro Rod, Cosmos Guide chart, the Special Autoradiograph, various soft drink patents. He was so arrogant and refused to obey anyone.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
What's more, he would get very upset whenever he saw his colleagues from the Department of Cosmic Geography being bullied by others. He would often stand up for his colleagues and start fights.
Options
What a scoundrel...
Sounds like a decent guy.
Could you get to the point?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Humph, that's right. I am glad you can see the truth.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Yeah, right. Only impressionable young kids like you would get intimidated by those pretentious titles and inventions.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Kids these days are always so impatient. The key to having good conversations is to let things sink in. Besides, which one of my words is not on point?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
If you want the treasure, you have to listen to me talk first.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Long story short, Hosea is famous for his craftsmanship.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
On one hand, it's because he likes to tinker with things in his spare time. On the other hand, it's because he would come to the maintenance room to learn from me almost every day.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
He was responsible for clearing blockages. He invented Ultra Nickel Parts, and he brewed Kapo-Kali. As for me... I was responsible for supervising his work... By the way, we also wrote a book together, The Art of Soda and Space Station Maintenance.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
We did have a good time... yes... it really was quite good.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Until one day, I was suddenly woken up from my sleep by a terribly loud noise β€”
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
That scoundrel blew a giant hole in the maintenance room and flew away in an aircraft! Leaving me with all the mess.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Afterward, I learned from the others that the fuel in the spacecraft that he used for his adventure was stolen bit by bit from my maintenance room!
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
And this is the "Station Breakout" incident that he boasts about all over the place. It's been so many years, but whenever I think about it, I'm still so mad at him.
Options
He endured hardship to accomplish his ambition. That's so cool.
That's destruction of public property. It's unforgivable.
He betrayed his teacher and friend.
Such a long speech. I am falling asleep...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Oh come on. You think the "Station Breakout" is something to be proud of?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
And that was the first time Hosea Lazaro exploited us. After that, whenever there is a tiny spark, the whole station would go up in alarm.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
If you try to copy him, I guarantee that those kids from the Security Department will mop the floor with you before you even lift a foot off the ground.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
That's right. He just wanted to cause trouble on my turf.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
He just walked away, but to this very day, I am still paying the huge debt from all the damage he's done.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I am glad to hear you have a conscience after all! Never be like that Hosea Lazaro.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I've been told there are many young people in the Department of Cosmic Geography who worship that old scoundrel like a spiritual idol. What a bunch of buffoons.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
...I went off-topic. Eh... that's what happens when you get old.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Usually, I have no one to talk to, but now that I got to let it all out, I feel much better. So, what I really want to give you is the Treasure Map that Hosea Lazaro left behind.
Options
Awesome. You should have shown me earlier.
You just wanted someone to chat with, didn't you...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Of course not. Stop talking nonsense.

The treasure map revealed by a special autoradiograph is in black and white. Only the location of the target room is marked with a red circle.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
This thing was hidden in a corner somewhere in the space station. Someone found it and thought it was trash.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
But it ended up here with me, I tried using that old scoundrel's special technique to reveal the text, and lo and behold! It revealed the coordinates of a room.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I've been told that the old scoundrel left many personal treasures in the space station. They must be hidden there.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
You can look for them according to the location on the map. If you can find them, then everything belongs to you!
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I have to go take a couple of sips of Kapo-Kali and tinker around with my blazing welding gun. I wouldn't give up on that even if Akivili were to come pay me a visit!

Give Wen Tianweng the so-called treasure

πŸ“ Herta Space Station Supply Zone

You are now in possession of the renowned Comet Hunter's Treasure and just a step away from deciphering the mysteries within. Bring the treasure to Wen Tianweng and the real prize will finally surface.

Did you find them? What are these?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Don't get me wrong. I'm just curious. I don't believe that old scoundrel would leave us anything good.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
What's the paper you are holding...? Oh! That's Madam Herta... Disrespectful, really disrespectful! Give it to me and don't let others see it.
Options
I want to keep it...
Try the Autoradiograph?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Don't be fooled! A tiger never changes its stripes. You can't trust that scoundrel Hosea.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Quick! Give it to me. If someone finds out, we are done for.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
What? This treasure is also marked with the location of another treasure? What game is he playing?

Wen Tianweng
Let me have a look.
Wen Tianweng

What? This is an encrypted letter... the secret recipe of... Kapo-Kali!?

Just forgive him already.
It wasn't easy to deliver this letter.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Caramel, carbon dioxide, sounds familiar. Ambergris... Does it mean saliva!?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
At least he has a shred of loyalty left. At my age, a sip of Kapo-Kali is the only thing I want...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Enough. This is between us two old farts. Young people shouldn't get involved.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
And besides, when I said I hated him, I said it in the heat of the moment.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Sorry, {F#lass}{M#lad}. I didn't expect that from him.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
When I said I hated him, I said it in the heat of the moment! Argh!
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Of course, I never cared about all the mess he left me with.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Ever since I was young, I have never liked academic research and dealing with the Department of Implement Arts.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
My biggest wish was to hide in this maintenance room and play with the tools. Work when I wake up and sleep when I get tired. In my opinion, dealing with machines is much more fun than dealing with people...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
But so many people have come and gone through this space station over the years, with the exception of Hosea.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
So, I was angry that the old scoundrel didn't share his breakout plan with me. Not even a little bit.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Aren't we brothers? Shouldn't brothers be able to talk about anything?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
...Nevertheless, it's been so many years. I have long since learned to let it go.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
On the contrary, whenever I hear about what kind of trouble he's making outside, I really do feel happy for him.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
He was born to run amok all over the cosmos.
Options
You are very enlightened.
He also thinks of you as a brother.
I like to run amok too.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
One has got to learn to let it go eventually.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Maybe. But if he had really invited me to make a breakout from the space station, I may not have had the guts for it.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
You are still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Either you run amok all over the world or it runs all over you.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
So, after all that... The Treasure is just this recipe, {F#lass}{M#lad}. What do you think?
Options
I want to exchange it for money.
You keep it, as a memento.
I want something else.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
As good as the idea may sound, this manuscript is soaked in Autoradiopraph reagent, which makes it very fragile. You'll break it with the slightest touch. I'm afraid it won't last until you find a buyer.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Let me see. I guess I can give you a few treasures you won't find anywhere else. And I may have some of these ingredients in the warehouse.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Come on, a big bucket of fresh Kapo-Kali... That's the taste!
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Just take these sodas with you. They can refresh your mind and strengthen your body.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
{F#Lass}{M#Lad}, you're the only one who would talk to me ever since Hosea left.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
If you are interested in that old scoundrel, you can look around the space station again and see if you can find some of those letters he sent back. Those letters are filled with his bragging.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
That guy... just wants more people to hear his nonsense.
Options
Old people are like that.
Nonsense can be very interesting to listen to.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Haha! You little {F#brat}{M#brat}...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Alright, enough chitchat. From now on, whenever you are free...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Ha! Just remember to come more often to chat with me.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Although I don't have much of anything here, you and I have an agreement. Whenever you pop in, there will always be enough Kapo-Kali for you.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
I do NOT want it! Unless you insist, then maybe I'll consider taking it home.
Options
It is very important to you.
I will keep it then.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Well, in that case, let me show you something.
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Let me see, these ingredients... I suppose I can find some in the warehouse if I look hard enough...
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
Hold on! I was just being polite. What were you thinking...?
Wen Tianweng
Wen Tianweng
How about this. I'll keep the manuscript, and I'll show you something else.

Come on, a big bucket of fresh Kapo-Kali... That's the taste!
