Dialogue[]
Quest Description- (Stop at Yumyum Haven)
- Sanhua: Oh, here you are, (Rover).
- Rover: Hi, Sanhua. Are you here for the Moonlit Fair?
- Sanhua: No, I'm here for work today. Madam Jinhsi entrusted me with this letter for you.
- Sanhua: As you're involved with the Moonlit Fair, she may have something important to discuss with you.
- As you open the letter, you realize it contains pressing matters. It simply mentions that Sanhua has been shouldering a heavy workload at City Hall.
- Jinhsi expresses concern and suggests taking her to the Moonlit Fair for some much-needed relaxation
- Sanhua: Have you finished reading it, (Rover)? Do you have any messages you would like me to convey?
(Tell her the contents of the letter.)
- Sanhua: Indeed, I have many affairs to attend to, but I think Madam Magistrate was exaggerating.
- Sanhua: "Sanhua has eight hundred matters to handle simultaneously, she wrote... That's impossible. Not even the Academy's computers could do that.
- How about taking a walk with me?
- Sanhua: W-why are you making that suggestion all of a sudden?
- Sanhua: ... I know. Madam Jinhsi must have said something in this letter.
Is there anything you want to do?- Sanhua: I suggest we first patrol the nearby area. The Moonlit Fair has attracted many visitors, and any incursion by Tacet Discords or criminals could have dire consequences.
- Sanhua: Or, we could survey the visitors to evaluate their interests, providing reliable data for future events.
- Sanhua: Or, we could...
- STOP!!!
- Enough of work! PLEASE!
- Sanhua: Yes, (Rover)? Is there something wrong with my plans?
- I want to know what YOU want to do.
- We're here to relax, remember?
- Sanhua: I apologize. I forgot I'm not in City Hall handling affairs right now.
- Sanhua: Something I want to do... Please give me a moment.
- I remember you were eyeing the desserts at Yumyum Haven?
- Sanhua: Yes, I've never actually seen anyone make that dessert before. It's called... Plumpcake, right?
- Sanhua: Similar to Wuthercake but with different fillings and shapes. I bet it has a unique taste.
- Would you like some of that?
- Sanhua: No, I simply want to learn how to make it, then I can...
- Great. Then let's learn how to make Plumpcake!
- Sanhua: Sure. I've watched them make it enough to have a general idea of how to do it myself.
- Sanhua: Besides, I have some new ideas... Can we go gather the ingredients together?
- New ideas?
- Ingredients?
- Sanhua: There's a special lotus seed call Twin Lotus Seed, found near lakes in the Whining Aix's Mire.
- Sanhua: I once read about it in The Grand Library. It has unique fragrance.
- Sanhua: I believe using it in the Plumpcake would elevate the flavor.
- Sanhua: But it's rare and only grows where Tacet Discords roam, making it hard to come by.
- I'm ready to go get some of that.
- Sanhua: Then let's get going, (Rover).
- (As the player goes to the designated location)
- Sanhua: Tacet Discords...
- Sanhua: To collect the Twin Lotus Seeds, we'll need to get rid of them first.
- (Collect Twin Lotus Seed)
- Sanhua: These are the Twin Lotus Seeds I wanted. I think we have picked enough of them.
- I'm a bit curious...
- What do you usually do?
- Sanhua: My main duty is to protect Madam Jinhsi.
- Sanhua: I also assist her with paperwork, meet visitors, and convey her orders to other departments.
- ...What do you do except work?
- Sanhua: Let me think... I sometimes drink flower wine... but not too much, as overdrinking leads to mistakes, which would affect my performance as a guard.
- Sanhua: Other times, I listen to the storytellers. I learn about how other people live their lives, how they respond to life's ups and downs, and everything in this world that I cannot witness myself.
- Sanhua: In fact, i learned from a story that Twin Lotus Seeds tastes better than ordinary ones.
- Sanhua: But I don't have much time for that. After all, Madam Jinhsi's safety is always my top priority.
- Are you really that busy?
- Sanhua: I'm afraid so. Jinzhou is located on the borders, and safety has been a constant concern. But my workload may lessen in a few years.
- Sanhua: The Threnodian is no longer a threat, and everything is getting back on track. I am positive life will be tranquil for our people soon.
- I'm looking forward to that day.
- Sanhua: So am I, (Rover).
- (Talk to Uncle Li)
- Uncle Li: Welcome, (Rover) and Lady Sanhua! What can I get for you?
- We want to learn how to make Plumpcake.
- Uncle Li: Haha, you've come to the right person. Plumpcake is a traditional dessert that's been around for at least a few hundred years.
- Uncle Li: Not many people can make it nowadays. I bet most of the youngsters have never seen one.
- Uncle Li: Though it might seem easy, making Plumpcake takes a lot of effort.
- Uncle Li: Kneading the dough and preparing the fillings are just the beginning—every step has its secrets. it takes at least a year or two of practice to get the perfect crispy texture with lingering aftertaste.
- That's a lot of practice...
- Uncle Li: You know, when I learn how to make it, I spent three whole days just memorizing the recipe!
- Anyways, let's give it a try first.
- Sanhua can definitely nail it.
- Sanhua: You can count on me. I just observed the baking process a bit more, and I have memorized it all.
- Uncle Li: Alright, I'll let you use my stove.
- Count me in!
- Sanhua: Thank you, (Rover). Please peel the lotus seeds for me.
- Uncle Li: Lotus seeds...? No, these are...
- Sanhua: Twin Lotus Seeds, freshly picked. Baking them at high temperatures brings out their fresh fragrance. I'll be using them to enhance the taste.
- Uncle Li: But these are said to only grow in the depths of Whining Aix's Mire, where many monsters live...
- Uncle Li: On second thought, with (Rover) and Lady Sanhua, getting those seeds would be a breeze. Can't wait for your Plumpcake!
- Soon, Sanhua effortlessly recreates the Plumpcake with her incredible talents.
- Onlookers pause to applaud her mastery in action.
- Sanhua: Done. (Rover), please give it a try.
- Sanhua: How do you like it?
- It's amazing!
- Sanhua: Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
- Not bad, I guess?
- Sanhua:' ...(Rover), you are not fooling me with your expression and change in frequencies. You find it delightful, don't you?
- Sanhua boxes up the fresh Plumpcakes, then hands a box to you.
- Sanhua: This is for you, (Rover).
- And the other box is...
- Sanhua: This is for Madam Jinhsi. Since you enjoyed the Plumpcakes I made... I think she'll like it too.
- What about you? You haven't tasted any yet.
- Sanhua: Me? i don't need it. Eating cake isn't part of my duty.
- But Jinhsi wants you to enjoy the festival.
- Sanhua: I see... So that's Madam Jinhsi really wanted to convey?
- ...Don't tell me you're only getting it now...
- Life isn't just about work, you know.
- As Sanhua gazes at the bustling scene unfolding before her, her mind seems elsewhere, captivated by the brilliance of fireworks and streetlights reflecting in her eyes.
- Sanhua: Now I get it. Festivals like this help people let go of the past's sorrows and the future's unknowns...
- Sanhua: It's a chance to live in the moment with their loved ones. Finding joy in the little things in life.
- Yes, I think so.
- She just wanted you to be happy.
- Sanhua: Thank you for your company, (Rover). I had a great time today.
- What would you like to do next?
- Sanhua: I don't have a plan yet. I will probably continue enjoying the Moonlit Fair, just as Madam Jinhsi hoped. Perhaps the tasks on my to-do list aren't as urgent as they seem.
- Sanhua: If you need me for anything, you need to only call. I'll be by your side right away, (Rover).
