Head to the designated location[]

(Approach Sanhua): Sanhua (Contacting): Yes, My Lady, everything has been taken care of. Don't worry.; Sanhua (Contacting): We ran into an unexpected situation... Yes... They sent us a message, and I happened to be in the vicinity.; Sanhua (Contacting): I need to escort this researcher to the Tower. I'll be back shortly.

(Talk to Sanhua)

Sanhua? Fancy seeing you here.

Looks like you've already got the situation dealt with.

Sanhua: Rover?

Sanhua: I was assisting Madam Magistrate with certain matters, and as I happened to be close to that place, I arrived slightly ahead of you.

Sanhua: I resolved the issue.

Since it's already been dealt with, I'll be heading back.

Sanhua: Yes, there is.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Sanhua: Actually...

Sanhua: I was instructed by Madam Magistrate to discuss a confidential project. Would you mind if I ask about it now, since we 're here?

Sanhua: While the project is still confidential, if you are interested to join, it can be arranged with Madam Magistrate's authorization. Are you interested?

Confidential?

Authorization?

Sanhua: I am currently escorting this injured researcher to that place.

Sanhua: If you could spare a moment, would you mind coming along? Explaining on-site might be more efficient.

Sure, let's go together then.

Meet up with Sanhua[]

(Talk to Sanhua)

Young Soldier: Hey, what happened? How did you get injured?

Researcher: Can you believe it? I was just doing my routine specimen collection, and a Howler-type TD just pounced at me out of nowhere! What a lucky encounter!

You think getting injured is lucky?

Researcher: Well, it didn't hurt that much. More importantly, it was an unidentified special variant! This discovery will surely enrich our database.

Researcher: My little injury today might save countless lives in the future!

Sanhua: As you can see, the Tower Project, formally known as the Tower of Adversity, is an artificial mirage simulation training ground we're currently developing in Huanglong.

Artificial... what?

Researcher: Simply put, it's a man-made Sonora Sphere.

Researcher: We renovated a large experimental site left behind by the Court of Savantae to build this place.

Researcher: This is a surreal space that can record specific information from a specific time and situation through our intervention.

Sanhua: Regarding the Court of Savantae... There is a lot of information we need you to know. We shall discuss it at a later time.

Researcher: Within this simulated environment, adversaries can materialize from the subject's recollections.

Researcher: As you delve deeper, tougher opponents will emerge, because of the difference in energy distribution pattern.

Sanhua: Our esteemed Magistrate intends to integrate this technology into military training for a more authentic experience.

Sanhua: This could potentially reduce casualties during real-life combat scenarios.

Sanhua: (Rover), would you be willing to participate in our preliminary tests?

Sure, why not?

Sanhua: Thank you.

Why me?

Researcher: As I mentioned, enemies in the simulation are based on the tester's memories and their strength depends on their perception.

Researcher: For example, if I were to enter, my fear of Tacet Discords might cause me to imagine them as stronger than they actually are, which would impact the accuracy of data.

Researcher: This is why we rely on testers like you and Lady Sanhua, who possess both mental and physical fortitude, to provide realistic data for our research.

Researcher: The data we gathered from Lady Sanhua's past simulated battle against an Elite Class Tranquilite greatly aided us in our recent fight.

Sanhua: Madam Magistrate values this project greatly. As we discussed, our soldiers' lives are at stake.

Sanhua: I have faith that you will not disappoint her if entrusted with this task.

Let's get started.
