Condensed Aether x 1, Strale x 10, Achievements <The Seven Errors of Cycranes: Gluttony>
📍 The Xianzhou Luofu Central Starskiff Haven
System
You can find Heron Express' cycranes flying everywhere in Xianzhou. You have long since viewed these cycranes as part of Xianzhou's everyday landscape. If you want to buy a cycrane as memento, perhaps now would be the time.
System
The grocery stall owner Salesby hasn't caught onto your motivation for making the purchase. You should take this opportunity to look closely at the ready-made quality of these three courier cycranes. Maybe you can use that to your advantage when haggling with Salesby.
System
Whether buying small cultural and creative merchandise counts as paying a stupid tax depends on whether the buyer has any measure of intellect.
System
Wait... A cycrane product is moving.
System
Is it a movable model? You aren't sure. Do you want to try and touch it?
Options
Might as well touch it.
Don't touch it, but take a good careful look.
System
You are resolute. You are the customer. It's only natural that you would want to touch a product in order to inspect it.
System
Unexpectedly, this cycrane suddenly quivers and squints at you menacingly. Yes... this little cycrane can move.
System
You draw close enough to observe the mechanical hummings, which are usually imperceptible to passersby. It seems to feel some pressure coming from you — this cycrane cannot help but step back a pace. That's right — this little cycrane can move.
System
To be honest, maybe it's a delusion: This cycrane's penetrating gaze say, "Get lost. This is none of your business."
Options
I want to see what kind of a strange thing you are.
Fine, I can get lost. I'm the most understanding person in the world.
Salesby
Please wait, esteemed guest.
Salesby
Haha, you lost the bet.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
This is all your fault. Why do you gotta stare at me like that, huh? Salesby here and I only have an hour left on our bet. You come at me with a cheap trick like this that cost me a bet.
Options
A bet?
Salesby
The cycrane said my business here is so bad, and even if it masqueraded as a shop item here for three days, it wouldn't even be noticed by anyone... But he's underestimating me. So I took on that bet.
Salesby
Three days passed and I thought, this is bad! Really? Nobody noticed? And that's just when you arrived.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
It's all your fault. This {F#girl}{M#boy} wouldn't have even noticed me at all but you had to be a sore loser about it and spill the beans about the bet.
Options
Ziqiao sent me to get you back.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Tsk, the only reason you found me is because someone sent you to find me. This game doesn't count then, as this isn't a real paying customer!
Salesby
Alright, it doesn't count then. I get it now, and I don't wanna take that bet anymore.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
It's boring unless we bet... I know, let's place another bet. This time I'll play with this {F#girl}{M#boy} here.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
If I lose, I'll go back to Ziqiao. If you lose, then Salesby loses as well. How 'bout that?
Salesby
I am not okay! What's this got to do with me?
Options
Yes, okay!
This works out nicely for me, so be it.
Hmm, then you've never seen a real gambling god before.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Two for and one against — the bet's settled, then. Heehee, I'd never have control of my own destiny if I were still running around as a courier these days.
Options
How about you just don't go back to your job at Heron Express?
Then I'll have to take things seriously with you.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Do you really think you can bet against me and win?
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Don't take pity on me. If I lose, I'll accept it with glee.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
That's the right attitude. I've been looking for someone to take things seriously around here.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Don't even think about going easy on me. If I lose, I'll accept it with glee.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
...Alright then, how about a quiz? There's just one question, and if you guess it right, then you win! But if you guess incorrectly, you lose. Simple, right?
Options
Isn't it just a question at the end of the day?
Easy, let's do it.
Let's bet on who can assemble a pistol faster?
Dissatisfied Cycrane
It's not a simple one, and hardly anyone can answer it.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Great!
Dissatisfied Cycrane
I've never heard of such a rule. Besides, you're competing with a cycrane here at gun assembly. Do I look like I have any hands to you?
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Just do as I say.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
It's very simple. Just ask me questions. I either can only tell the truth, can only tell lies, or must say a lie after a truth.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
You can only ask two questions, and then I'll ask for your answer. If you get it right, you win the bet.
Options
Then let's go.
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
Ask me your questions.
Options
Are you telling one truth and one lie?
In your ocular sensors, am I male or female?
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
I thought so.
Options
Are you telling one truth and one lie?
Are you telling only truths?
Are you telling only lies?
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
I thought so.
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
I thought so.
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
Wrong.
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
...
Options
Come on, answer my question.
Excuse me, am I male or female?
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
You are {F#male}{M#female}.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Hang on! {F#Lady}{M#Dude}, you're asking the wrong question. How can you ask a question to which you already know the answer?
Options
You didn't say I couldn't.
How would I know if I'm male or female?
Dissatisfied Cycrane
So even you don't know... And you think I'll believe that?
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Alright, I made a mistake. Let's move on to the second question.
Options
Does 1 plus 1 equal 2?
Once more: Am I a boy or a girl?
Are you telling only truths?
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
No.
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
You are a {F#boy}{M#girl}.
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
I thought so.
Dissatisfied Cycrane (Pretend)
No more questions.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Tell me, what kind of bird is that toy cycrane?
Options
A cycrane that only tells truths.
A cycrane that only tells lies.
A cycrane that tells a truth then a lie.
System
You notice that this resentful cycrane is a little satisfied. It is surprised it won the bet, but as soon as it hears your incorrect answer, it is as if the code for happiness is suddenly written onto the screen of its jade abacus.
System
Soon, however, you noticed a sense of doubt from the gaze it gives out in its cute, dumb eyes. This cycrane thought it would feel the thrill of victory, but the emotion was merely fleeting like sands in an hourglass.
System
It's as if a problem that has plagued it for a long time has finally been resolved. You're not quite certain what role your bet has played under these confusing circumstances.
Options
Sorry Salesby, my guy!
I lost deliberately.
Salesby
Don't get me mixed up in your gambling, alright... Besides, you don't even know what our bet is all about.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
"Three days to sell a cycrane merchandise, otherwise Salesby has to buy another 100."
Options
You're ruthless.
100 is not enough.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
This is ruthless?
Dissatisfied Cycrane
That's right. Should it go viral, then Salesby only stands to make a fortune.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Huh? I have seen proud people like you.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
A loss is a loss. Put your money where your mouth is, {F#girl}{M#boy}.
System
You notice that this resentful cycrane is a little frustrated. It knew that it was going to lose the bet, but when you answered correctly, it looked unimaginably dejected.
System
Soon, however, you noticed a sense of relief from the gaze it gives out in its cute, dumb eyes. This cycrane may not have been sentient for a very long time, but you can feel it's been thinking things over for a long time.
System
It's as if a problem that has plagued it for a long time has finally been resolved. You're not quite certain what role your bet has played under these confusing circumstances.
Options
You don't have to go back to Heron Express.
Looks like I won. You bet, you pay.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Even if you won the bet, you don't have to act so high-and-mighty.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
You won, yes. Seems like I underestimated this "busybody."
Dissatisfied Cycrane
I'll go back to Heron Express. I'm a bird of my word.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
I wasn't planning on telling you, but before you came I was thinking about whether or not to go back to Heron Express. It's so hard to make up my mind... You're really just pushing things along.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Since becoming self-aware, I've had my experiences with the way you humans entertain yourselves... I don't know if I'm lacking the bioindicators for it or something, because that doesn't seem very fun to me.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Pigging out, gambling, or attending a show... It's all a snorefest to me. I'm not going to bother using human concepts of entertainment to amuse myself any longer.
Dissatisfied Cycrane
Seeing as I lost the bet... Take this. It's a prize for you — so long!
System
The cycrane strides off, dignified. Even though it is tiny in form, it seems like a giant from behind. It doesn't seem to be scurrying away for any passive reason, but rather just to experience "what happiness means to a cycrane."
System
You cast your mind to this cycrane returning to Heron Express — how it won't struggle to survive, how it will find meaning existentially through life-affirming work... Perhaps it has even discovered the true happiness of being a cycrane.
System
You're not a cycrane, so you don't know the joys of a cycrane.

You shouldn't be too sad though... but even before you came, I was already thinking about going back to Heron Express. It's so hard to make up my mind... This is my own decision.

What you call entertainment is less fun than my courier's on-time performance.
