Talk with Tantan and keep measuring traffic

📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Central Starskiff Haven

Would you like to test again?

Tantan

I think we can try again. The more we try, the better we can see how effective this is.

Options

No problem. Let's do it again.

...Whatever you say.

Tantan

Come on, help me one more time.

Tantan

Are you ready? We'll start whenever you are.

Options

Wait, I have some questions.

Let's start!

Wait, I'm not ready.

Options

What are the rules again?

What models are there?

I don't have any other questions.

Tantan

Starskiffs of different colors and models will pass through the lanes in Starskiff Haven.

Tantan

You will need to remember the models and colors of all starskiffs that pass by within the specified time period, and I will ask you a few questions at the end.

Tantan

For example, I might ask "How many blue passenger starskiffs went past?" You will need to answer my questions according to your observation.

Tantan

At the moment, there are only two types of starskiffs allowed on the streets of the Starskiff Haven: passenger-type and cargo-type.

Tantan

Freight starskiffs are differentiated by the amount of cargo they carry, and are typically colored either in red or green.

Tantan

Although passenger starskiffs do vary, they generally come in blue, green, or white.

Tantan

No worries. We can start once you're ready.

Tantan

Luckily we got here in time. I contacted the Alchemy Commission's apothecary and an emergency dispatch will be here soon.

Options

The perpetrator ran away.

Is there anything I can do?

Tantan

Let's split up. You stay here, I'll go after the perp.

Tantan

I need you to look for injured passengers, contact their families, and help the Healers from the Alchemy Commission with the medevac.

Tantan

I need you to look for injured passengers, contact their families, and help the Healers from the Alchemy Commission with the medevac.

Tantan

And now, I've got a perp to chase.

Tantan

You might be able to use this Diting, so hold onto this for now.

Options

No problem, leave it to me.

Enough talk. You go catch the culprit.

Tantan

I'll leave it to you here.

Tantan

It's a traffic incident caused by a speeding starskiff! Let's go see if anyone's hurt.

Sss... Ouch...

Injured Passenger

Oh my, oh dear. {F#Young lass}{M#Young fella}, I'm doing fine...

Options

The Alchemy Commission's dispatch will be here soon.

Do you need help?

No way you're doing fine in a serious traffic incident like this.

Injured Passenger

I... I'm really... fine — Ssss, dang it. I must have strained my back or something.

Options

Do you have any family you can contact?

Injured Passenger

Family? ...I don't have any family.

Injured Passenger

Oww... {F#Young lass}{M#Young fella}, could you help look for my notes? That's worth more than my life.

Options

I'm asking for a contact.

We can look for them in a bit.

Injured Passenger

My notes... are really important. They fell out.

Injured Passenger

No. I'm gonna lose my job if I lose these notes.

Injured Passenger

Come on, {F#young lass}{M#young fella}... Help me out... My notes are really important.

Options

I'll handle it. I'll look nearby.

Do you have any contacts on your notes?

...Don't you have a communication device?

No...

Say goodbye to Mei and get her wounds treated on time

Tantan

The report from the Sky-Faring Commission says that the cycrane captured something. After you've settled Mei, come over to the Sky-Faring Commission.

Interact

Mei

Sorry I couldn't help much.

Mei

Once I get the notes, I need to head back and continue work. Thank you, {F#young lass}{M#young fella}.

Options

Don't rush back into work. Get some rest first.

Luhui will get upset to see you rushing back to work like this.

Mei

Oh, that won't do. If I don't take care of Ms. Luhui, no one could.

Mei

She may be gentle and soft-spoken, but she can command a film set with hundreds of people working. She's so capable.

Mei

It's okay if she's upset. She's always upset. But if you act nice with her and don't talk back at her, she will naturally cool down. I'm used to it.

Mei

She has no time to worry about me. She's a huge producer who commands a film set with hundreds of people working. She's so capable.

Mei

I should stop chattering about and go to the apothecary so other people won't worry about me. {F#Young lass}{M#Young fella}, go ahead and get busy.

Options

Mei, there's something I want to tell you...

Goodbye, Mei.

Mei

I—is something else the matter?

Options

Ms. Luhui wants to fire you.

...It's nothing. I forgot what I wanted to say.

Mei

...Is that true? I don't believe you.

Mei

Even if it's true, it doesn't matter. I need to go do what I need to do.

Mei

Hahaha, you scared me half to death. I thought Ms. Luhui might say something like "Mei is hurt, so it's time to fire her" or something.

Mei

I'm okay. I can still work. If there's nothing else, {F#Young lass}{M#Young fella}, I bid you goodbye.

Mei

Goodbye, {F#young lass}{M#young fella}.

Find Xikui at the Palace of Astrum to get road data on the intersection

📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Palace of Astrum

Is this where we can check on the accident footage?

Xikui

I've heard all about it from Tantan. I didn't expect you to have a traffic accident after only half a day as a speed tester.

Xikui

Isn't it a talent of some kind to be able to show up every time an accident happens? Wouldn't you say so?

Options

I like your sense of humor.

Didn't think you'd be so witty...

Xikui

Well, if it's a talent, it must be put to good use.

Xikui

Haha, I'm just stating a fact.

Xikui

This pilot dares to speed at a place just outside the Palace of Astrum. They have no respect for the Sky-Faring Commission!

Xikui

You and Tantan have done an investigation on the field. If we match the cycrane footage, we should be able to find the starskiff that caused the accident soon.

Xikui

Which cycrane footage do you want to see first?

Options

Cycrane at the southwest entrance.

Cycrane at the southeast entrance.

Cycrane at the northeast entrance.

Leave the photo to me and Tantan.

Xikui

From this angle, it seems that there is some problem with the starskiff's engine.

Xikui

Doesn't look like the original engine... looks like it's been illegally modified.

Xikui

From this angle, the colors of the different starskiffs are obvious.

Xikui

I don't know how much eyewitness testimony you got.

Xikui

This photo is more useful, you can see different starskiffs going in different directions.

Xikui

Have you found out where the offending starskiff went?

Xikui

I'll leave this to you and Tantan.

Chat with Tantan and try to deduce the whereabouts of the offending starskiff

Tantan

It's time to find the offending starskiff.

Tantan

Through your inquiry and my investigation, we got some testimonies. With these testimonies and the cycrane footage, we should be able to find the starskiff we're looking for.

Options

I want to see the photo again.

I want to go over the testimonies again.

I already know what happened.

Tantan

Cycrane footage definitely provides a lot of useful information. Which one would you like to see?

Tantan

I've recorded all the eyewitness testimonies. Whose testimony do you want to check?

Options

The clumsy lady's testimony.

The suddenly excited man's testimony.

Mei's testimony.

The testimonies are clear to me.

Tantan

She heard the sound of the engine of the starskiff that had caused the accident. It was loud and different from ordinary starskiffs.

Tantan

This may be because that starskiff has been illegally modified. There are some people who like to install military-grade engines starskiffs onto civilian starskiffs, resulting in a large sound when driving... In essence, this testimony is of great value.

Tantan

He chased the offending starskiff to the crossroad and saw it make a right turn there!

Tantan

We chased it from north to south. Making a right turn means that it went to the west.

Tantan

Mei's memory is not very good. I asked her several times. She said the color of that starskiff looks like blue, but it could also be yellow, or maybe neither.

Tantan

Mei said she heard a crack sound... But this doesn't mean anything.

Tantan

Which is the offending starskiff in this picture?

Options

The first one from the left.

The second one from the left.

The third one from the left.

The fourth one from the left.

Tantan

Alright, let me check this starskiff's record.

System

After investigation and comparison, Tantan feels there is a problem with this thinking...

Tantan

I checked it several times and it didn't seem quite right. I mean, is it possible that... there is something wrong with the reasoning.

Yanming

What seems to be the problem? I used to solve traffic accident problems at the Sky-Faring Commission. Let me help you.

Yanming

A blue or yellow starskiff turned west at the crossroad... It should be this starskiff heading toward the Stargazer Navalia.

Yanming

It made a deafening sound. Its engine must have been illegally modified. There is a great chance that this starskiff is still in Stargazer Navalia. If you go there right now, you should be able to catch it.

Tantan

Yanming's inference seems right. Let's go to Stargazer Navalia to catch the suspect.

Tantan

Alright, let me check this starskiff's record.

System

After investigation and comparison, Tantan manages to find data on the offending starskiff.

Tantan

The suspect has a criminal record of modifying starskiffs. The suspect departed from Stargazer Navalia before the accident occurred, then returned to Stargazer Navalia after the accident.

Tantan

It looks like the suspect was testing their starskiff engine on a public lane. After the accident, they ran away. They should be in the Stargazer Navalia by now.

Tantan

Your inference seems right. Let's go to Stargazer Navalia to catch the suspect.

This is the illegally modified starskiff. From its appearance, it's no different from an ordinary starskiff.

The keel near the bow was broken, which seems to explain the crack sound.

Without a doubt, this is the prime suspect of the starskiff accident.

Proud Man

Hey, what are you looking at? You've never seen a competition-level race starskiff before, have you?

Options

Never seen a beat-up vehicle like this.

Is this really yours?

This is truly a masterpiece!

Proud Man

You are just jealous of me.

Proud Man

My starskiff is just a little scratched, no big deal. If it weren't for those blind drivers on the lane, it would still be in perfect condition!

Proud Man

Of course it's mine. You're not jealous, are you?

Proud Man

You can take a photo with it if you want.

Proud Man

You do have some taste. If you want to take a photo with my starskiff, that's fine.

Tantan

Hello, I am Tantan, a law enforcement officer of the Sky-Faring Commission who manages lane safety. Here's my ID.

Tantan

You are suspected of being involved in a traffic violation and illegal starskiff modifications. By law, we will confiscate this starskiff and return it after the investigation ends.

I've contacted a lawyer I know to help Mei with the compensation matter. It's all thanks to your help, {NICKNAME}. Please accept this little token of my gratitude.

Mei

Thank you, {F#young lady}{M#young man}.

Mei

Actually I don't need compensation. I'm grateful as long as I can still work.

Luhui

...

Options

Take every bit of compensation you deserve.

Are you worried that Ms. Luhui will fire you?

It's not Ms. Luhui who needs to compensate you.

Luhui

If you don't accept the compensation from him, you're breaking the law.

Mei

Alright, I'll listen to you. If you say I have to take it, I will take it. If you say I can't, then I won't.

Luhui

Aaaah... You still don't get it.

Mei

I'm not saying that... I'm just worried that Ms. Luhui would hate me for being clumsy. I can still work.

Mei

All my stupid words... That's not what I meant... Please don't be mad, Ms. Luhui.

Luhui

Mei... I've been thinking about this for a long time. After your current employment contract expires, I'm afraid I won't extend it. I hope you can understand.

Mei

Hah? What are you going to do then? Are you going to recruit someone else?

Luhui

Ah, about that... Relax, I won't recruit anyone else.

Mei

Relax? How can I relax? How are you going to do all the chores by yourself?

Options

Ms. Luhui can finish them alone, right?

Are you worried that Luhui is going to hire someone else?

Luhui

Ahh... That's right. I'll be fine.

Mei

Ms. Luhui, it is best that you hire another housekeeper to help you.

Luhui

For now I'm not planning to.

Mei

Then... let me tell you how to do all the housework. That way I can put my mind at ease.

System

Mei takes out a note and a vegetable shopping list and asks Luhui to take a closer look at them.

Mei

From here to here, it's about the order of cleaning the rooms... Oh, another thing, you always leave trash in the kitchen and forget to take them out. Now that I'm gone, you need to remember not to let the trash pile up for more than one night.

Luhui

Okay... What are these squares over here?

Mei

The dishcloth is placed in this cabinet. As for the cloth for wiping the table, I put it on the second cabinet door in the kitchen, and the kitchen clothes are placed separately...

Mei

Look at this page. It has all the names of the foodstuffs that the baby hates to eat written on it. He won't eat these, even if you cut them into pieces. These are the meals I planned that will guarantee a superb supply of nutrition. You love spicy food, but don't eat too much or you will get a heartburn...

Options

This is really detailed.

So this is the note that Mei wants to retrieve.

Mei

I know my mind isn't that sharp, so I jotted down everything. Even if I'm gone later, these notes will still be very useful to Ms. Luhui.

Luhui

In the "Water the Flowers" section, you drew a glass that is one-third full of water. What does this mean? Is this the amount of water you use to water the flowers each time?

Mei

No. It's the amount of nutrient solution that must be used when watering flowers. Ms. Luhui said that every time the amount must be just right, it can't be too much or too little.

Luhui

I forgot about this myself...

Luhui

What is this page about? "A kind young {F#lady}{M#man} helped me find the notebook. Must thank {F#her}{M#him}."

Options

That's me!

Mei

Ahh. Ms. Luhui, I want to keep this page to myself.

Luhui

I also have to thank {F#her}{M#him}.

Mei explains the details of the housework to Luhui, and you notice that Luhui has tears in her eyes.

Luhui

I don't know.

Luhui

Regret making a decision like this? Can I still...

Luhui

Right, now's not the time for regrets... is it?

Luhui

{NICKNAME}, I just realized that Mei is not worried about losing her job.

Options

She is worried that no one can take care of you after she is gone.

So what is she worried about?

Luhui

Yes, she is worried about me.

Luhui

She is worried that no one can take care of me after she is gone.

Luhui

I've always thought of Mei as an incompetent worker. But in Mei's heart, I'm a family member she has to take care of... *sighs*

Luhui

You've heard me complain about Mei many times. I didn't know that I was not a good employer until I saw her notebook. She has written down so many things that I said.

Luhui

Considering Mei's slowness, I have no qualms about paying her well below the market average. When I'm in a bad mood, I always get mad at her and set a lot of "rules" for her, and she wrote them all down without complaint.

Luhui

After looking at the notes, I realized that she has taken care of me for two hundred years.

Luhui

Two hundred years must be a long time for Outworlders, and it's also quite a long time for me. Why did I take everything for granted?

Options

Because Mei is just like family to you.

So Xianzhou has no popular stories about the old and the helpless?

Luhui

You're right. She's like family. That's why I took her for granted.

Luhui

Why would you ask this? There are no old people on Xianzhou...

Luhui

You mean people on Xianzhou don't age like Outworlders, so they aren't afraid of getting old and ending up living on the streets?

Luhui

What an odd but reasonable point of view. Mei won't age, and neither will I. I was not aware of Mei's hardship, nor was she aware of it.

Luhui

If you think about it, not being able to age has its downsides too, huh...

Luhui

By the way, I asked you twice before and was hoping for your advice. In an employer-employee relationship, should I think of Mei as an hourly paid housemaid, or as a family member who has been there with me for a long time?

Luhui

But this time I don't need to ask anymore. I already have the answer myself.

Luhui

I'll stay here for a while. I should stop bothering you now. Have a nice day.
