Dialogue[]
Head to the Ministry of Development and inquire Xiaoyu about the situation
- (Approach designated location)
Inquire Xiaoyu about the situation
- (Talk to Xiaoyu)
- Xiaoyu: What now? It's almost times, but the candidate is still not settled to send to the mine.
- Xiaoyu: Miss Taoqi got so much on her plate. I shouldn't be troubling her with this...
- Xiaoyu: (Rover), long time no see. Something the matter?
- I heard you complain from afar.
- Xiaoyu: Oh, did I? I was kind of troubled by the work, so maybe I raised the voice unconsciously.
- Xiaoyu: By the way, (Rover), you have been in Jinzhou for a while. I think you are aware of the things around.
- Xiaoyu: I have a favor to ask of you, on behalf of the Ministry of Development.
- Just friendly citizen pass by.
- Xiaoyu: Friendly citizen... Oh, Mr. Friendly, could you be so friendly as to help me on this?
- Tell me about it.
- Help on what?
- Xiaoyu: Here, take a look at this.
- Yu takes out a small glass container, in which some rock fragments are stored.
- What are these?
- Xiaoyu: There are some samples of a mineral called Lampylumen, which, after smelting, can be used as a semiconductor material in various industrial scenarios.
- Xiaoyu: And that may be only one aspect of its value.
- Xiaoyu: As of now, my co-workers from Ordnance Division and Defense in the Ministry are joining efforts in hope of finding more applicational value of this mineral.
- Xiaoyu: However, the complicated structure of Lampylumen renders experiment and processing very troublesome.
- Xiaoyu: This little bottle of samples is a result of multiple fussy processes.
- Xiaoyu: Luckily, our researchers have found new direction after countless tries, that it liquefaction, which will allow us to look into some unknown natures if the mineral.
- Xiaoyu: The only problem is that the equipment in our labs cannot provide the condition for appropriate liquefaction. Carrying out the processing there will probably destroy the material's structure.
- Xiaoyu: But then, it came to our notice that Hukou Mine, the mineral's origin, might possess the key methods and equipment.
- Xiaoyu: So we made an appointment with the Mine, that samples will be tried today, however an emergency meeting dragged our feet.
- Can't you reschedule it?
- Xiaoyu: No. We don't put off what can be done today, Things will only get trickier if we deal with it tomorrow.
- Xiaoyu: Could you sent the samples to Hukou Mine for me, if possible? Of course, the Ministry of Development will reward you.
- No problem. Leave it to me.
- Xiaoyu: Great. I knew you'd help.
- Doesn't sound too much of a problem.
- Xiaoyu: So I'll thay as a yes.
- Xiaoyu: Oh no. The meeting is about to begin. I have to hurry up.
- Xiaoyu: Take this. That's the sample you are delivering. And this is the Ministry's ID. We're counting on you.
- Hidden Dangers in Peaceful Life [Unlocked}
Head to the mine to process materials
- (Follow along designated location)
Search for relevant personnel
- (Approach designated location)
- Lei Li: Doctor Hua, hove you found him?
- Hua Yu: Nope. Been everywhere he would show up. Didn't find him. Just like you.
- Mo Di: Uncle Hong has aged. Became less predictable. It's hard to find him even on an average day.
- Hua Yu: Let's keep looking. We can't afford to have the Refinery Tower offline for too long.
- Hello?
- Excuse me.
- Lei Li: A travelling salesman? The mine is closed for business today. Please come back another day.
- Mo Di: Jinzhou is not far from here. You can take some rest there.
- Hua Yu: You should stop rushing before the guest even say anything. Let him finish.
- I'm here to deliver the samples for processing for Ministry of Development.
- Hua Yu: Oh, a guest from the Ministry. Let me introduce myself. I'm the doctor of the Mine, Huayu.
- Hua Yu: The tall guy beside me is Lei'li, head of miners here. And this is Modee, an expert of minerals from the Academy.
- Hua Yu: I heard of the sample appointment betweem [sic] the Mine and Ministry a couple of days ago. Now, what should I call you?
- Call me (Rover).
- Hua Yu: (Rover) you are. Well, I saw the photo attached in the Ministry's request, and I thought it was a young girl who could easily get nervous. How come...
- Hua Yu: I got the message and the photo from Uncle Hong, the senior officer-in-chief here. Look, this is the photo.
- You took the photo from Huayu. The girl on it looks nothing like you, who are much colder. You showed the ID to explain.
- There was an episode.
- Hua Yu: Hm. The ID does belong to the Ministry of Development. Then other things are irrelevance [sic]. I'll be straight: the Mine is facing some problem too, regarding the Ministry's request.
- Like I said, this person isn't me.
- Hua Yu: Haha, this thing is legitimate. Maybe there was some little accidents back as the Ministry. Now I'll be straight: the Mine is facing some problem too, regarding the Ministry's request.
- Hua Yu: Modee has more details.
- Mo Di: The Refinery Tower at the center of the Mine is offline, but some of our minerals have to be processed with it.
- Mo Di: So does the samples from the Ministry. Now the Mine is working on a solution to reboot the Refinery Tower.
- Hua Yu: Similar events happened before, but our on-site engineers were always quick to fix them and put us back on track.
- Hua Yu: However, he got injured recently when carrying out maintenance works on other equipment, so he was transferred to Jinzhou for recovery.
- Hua Yu: And Uncle Hong was due to take up the fixing job. He was responsible for the Refinery Tower back when he was young, so he's totally competent.
- Hua Yu: When there were offline events, Uncle Hong was always there to troubleshoot and coordinate our forces to fix the problems.
- Hua Yu: However, Uncle Hong didn't show up this time, and we couldn't find him everywhere in the Mine.
- Hua Yu: With his absence, the Mine is having all kinds of difficulties dealing with the Refinery Tower.
- Lei Li: He's just slacking off, if I may comment. I bet it exhausted him to work so hard every time there was an event.
- Lei Li: Maybe now, he's just hiding somewhere and peeking at us, sying, "won't you let me rest, little brats?"
- Lei Li: I propose we all go back to our own places and carry on with our jobs. The Mine has to keep functioning even with the Refinery Tower offline.
- Lei Li: He'll show once he gets his rest.
- Are there any clues now?
- Hua Yu: Clues... The miners said they met Uncle Hong around the transport lorries. We are sending more people to look if he's there.
- Let me be of some help.
- Hua Yu: More people mean greater possibility. Thank you.
Investigate clues near the transport vehicle(0/3)
- (Go the the designated area)
- (Investigate)
- A scrunched paper that reads: "The Mine is getting so cold even though it's summer... Miss you, mum."
- (Investigate)
- A pop magazine with five screaming young girls on the cover. Caption goes "Let's get lost together!"
- (Investigate)
- A journal with no name specified on title page. The cover is made of cut newspaper.
Head back and report the clues
- (Talk to Huayu)
- Hua Yu: Where could Uncle Hong be? (Rover), you're back.
- Only you stayed?
- Hua Yu: Sign, Running around without an aim only brings more trouble to the Mine.
- Hua Yu: Though the Refinery Tower is offline, most of our production is still running as usual.
- Hua Yu: To keep the production running, Lei'li, Modee, and others have to go back to their places.
- Hua Yu: However, the Refinery Tower's issue must be addressed.
- Hua Yu: Did you find anything around the transport lorries?
- A paper.
- Hua Yu: Maybe written by the miners. Though Hukou Mine is not far from Jinzhou, they are constantly kept from going home due to the work.
- Hua Yu: People who visit me out of sickness often talk about the pancakes their mothers make.
- (Return to the previous dialogue)
- A magazine.
- Hua Yu: Seems like a book popular with miners. It is only things like this that give life to Hukou Mine, where there is nothing but buzzing machines.
- Hua Yu: However, I don't think Uncle Hong can be a fan of rock and roll, given his poor hearing.
- (Return to the previous dialogue)
- A journal.
- Hua Yu: A cover made of newspaper. I think I've seen this somewhere.
- Hua Yu: If I'm not wrong, this is Uncle Hong's journal. He always takes it with him.
- Hua Yu: This helps me make sense of things.
- Hua Yu: As he ages, his memory starts to show deviations. He starts to forget things.
- Hua Yu: It's like a rubber that keeps erasing his past.
- Hua Yu: He asked me of methods to slow down the fading of memories. I taught him day-to-day tricks as supports to the therapy.
- Hua Yu: One is keywords, and the other is journaling.
- Hua Yu: Keywords help him to find the general picture, while journals help him to correctly walk every step.
- Can there be clues about Uncle Hong in the journal?
- Hua Yu: Possible. If Uncle Hong follows my advice, he may be recording the important pieces of his days.
- Can there be clues about the Refinery Tower in the journal?
- Hua Yu: Possible. If Uncle Hong is recording the important pieces of his days, he must have said something about the Refinery Tower. Let's read it.
- Lost items are important traces of their original owners.
- Hua Yu: That's right. If Uncle Hong is recording the important pieces of his days, he must have said something about the Refinery Tower. Let's read it.
- Huayu and you read the journal.
- Hua Yu: "Back at Jinzhou today with the transport truck. Everyone I met said I grew old and mean. So I looked in the mirror and found that few of my leaves are there..."
- Hua Yu: "Heavy rain today. Everyone got off work early. I don't know when this started but I grew more and more scared of the dark. Nights are getting long and dull..."
- Hua Yu: You can tell that the symptoms are getting serious for Uncle Hong in the journal.
- Is that how the world feels to an old man?
- Hua Yu: Maybe. You can sense that your functions are in recession, and that you are getting older. Let's keep on reading.
- Hua Yu: "The issue detection and reboot of the Refinery Tower..."
- Found it.
- Hua Yu: Right. The picture and the text are both consistent with the real Refinery Tower.
- Hua Yu: If we follow the instructions in the journal, maybe we'll be able to fix the issue of the Refinery Tower, but our manpower is just too limited...
- I'll handle the Refinery Tower.
- Hua Yu: Really? We don't have many people available for now, so it's only too great of you're willing to help. You might be unfamiliar with the Mine, though...
- Hua Yu: I've arranged a helping hand for you. You'll meet him by the Elevator.
- Hua Yu: In the meantime I'll try my best to find Uncle Hong. Thank you again for helping us to fix the Refinery Tower.
Head to the elevator
- (Approach designated location)
Talk to Huaxi
- (Talk to Huaxi)
- Hua Xi: Hey, are you (Rover)? My brother told me everything about you.
- Hey, what a young helping hand.
- Hua Xi: Huh? Don't look down on me. There's simply no one who knows this Mine better than me.
- Hua Xi: Before we go, big brother/sister, let's talk about my compensation.
- How much do you want?
- Hua Xi: That's why I always find you grown-up cynical. I don't want money. Hm... Can you tell stories?
- Greedy little boy. I'll tell your brother.
- Hua Xi: Please, let me finish. I don't want money. Can you tell stories?
- Hua Xi: All the grown-ups in the Mine are great storytellers. I like them. And they say, there are more stories that are more interesting from afar.
- Hua Xi: I'm collecting stories now, so you should pay me with a story.
- I don't have one yet.
- Hua Xi: Then pay me later. One day I'll leave here and travel to the farthest town. I hope I'll be able to tell a decent story to everyone when I'm back.
- Hua Xi: Dad always teaches me and brother to say things out loud.
- Hua Xi: If you have an interesting story, you must tell it to me. Let's go.
Call the elevator
- (Interact with the device to call the elevator)
Wait for the elevator
- (Wait for the elevator to arrive at current floor)
Take the elevator down to the basement floor
- (Interact with the device to the basement floor)
- (Upon arriving at the basement floor)
- Rover: The graph here says: "The reboot of the Refinery Tower takes a certain amount of time. First, secure a sufficient power supply during the rebooting..."
- Hua Xi: Stop, stop. English, please. Whatever, something about power supply, right? I know who to turn to. Follow me.
Follow Huaxi
- (Approach Hua Xi)
- Lei Li: These lazy new guys. I told them they must hand in the work log before concluding their shifts.
- Lei Li: And they paid no attention. What if accidents happen?
- A familiar figure.
- A familiar voice.
- Lei Li: Oh, (Rover). What brings you here? And Huaxi?
- Lei Li: Did Doctor Hua send you as peacemakers? He knew my fight with Modee?
- Hua Xi: What are you talking about, Uncle Lei? My brother asked me to work with (Rover) to reboot the Refinery Tower.
- Lei Li: Refinery Tower reboot? So you found Uncle Hong?
- You told Lei'li about the journal and Uncle Hong's memories.
- Lei Li: So that's what it's about. I didn't know Uncle Hong could be so fragile. He's always so sound and capable.
- Lei Li: Though I work alongside him a lot, I can't tell that. Now give it to me, what help do you need?
- About the power supply of the Mine.
- Hua Xi: Yes, rebooting the Refinery Tower requires sufficient power. Uncle Lei, you know the best about the power equipment. What's your advice?
- Lei Li: Well, it's not as hard as you might think. We need a double circuit power system at the bottom of the Mine. Either one can sustain the normal function of the Mine.
- Lei Li: However, they cannot run in parallel. Forcing them to run in parallel could result in the breakers all around the Mine to trip.
- Lei Li: What we can do is setting additional power from the outside and shutting down some devices from within, so we can focus the power on the Refinery Tower.
- Lei Li: Now, I'll shut down the necessary device, and you'll find the spare power around the bottom of the Mine.
- Lei Li: Then you'll set them up at the base of the Refinery Tower. I'll let you know when everything's ready, okay?
- Can you tell me about that fight you mentioned?
- Lei Li: Ha, nothing serious. I always have fights with Modee.
- Lei Li: I just don't like his attitude. He works with a fantasy on his mind.
- Lei Li: Bragging about his idea of coexistence with TD to people in and out of the Mine.
- Lei Li: Saying that it's crucial survival skill to coexist with novelty, and that we should give some thought about a life with TD.
- Lei Li: Some thought. Ha. It makes no sense keep thinking. I say he is a fantasist living in the ivory tower, not ready for the real struggles.
- Lei Li: And he became irritated whenever I say a few more words.
- Lei Li: Forget it. It's getting me furious again. LEt's get back to the Refinery Tower.
Install the external mobile power source(0/2)
- (Use Levitator the install the two power source)
- (Receive call from Lei Li after all power source are installed)
- Lei Li: (Rover), is the additional power set up?
- Rover: Yeah. All ready and set. What about your part?
- Lei Li: One last step before ready. The switches to shut down the devices come in pairs. I might need you to switch down the other one simultaneously.
Turn off the switch at the same time
- (Receive call from Lei Li after interacting with the device to turn the switch off)
- Lei Li: Are you there? Okay, then let's do this. Keep it simultaneous.
- Lei Li: I'll count three. You'll count two. And we'll count one together.
- Lei Li: Ready? I'll starting [sic] counting. Three...
- Hua Xi: ...Two
- ...One
- Sone peripheral facilities have been shut down, and the power supply of the Refinery Tower has been switched to the external circuit.
- (Receive call from Lei Li)
- Lei Li: It's working. Th device are being shut down. The power supply for the Refinery Tower should be sufficient now.
- Lei Li: Thank you for the help. If things are fine here, I'll be back to my job.
- Lei Li: Got a whole lot of things to do. Please carry on with the good work with the Refinery Tower.
Huaxi discovered a new clue
- (Approach Hua Xi)
- Hua Xi: ...Hm, so it is...
- What, are you reading earlier journal entries?
- You should [sic] read something without the owner areeing.
- Hua Xi: I'm not peeping at others' privacy. Instead, I just found an excellent way to find Grandpa Hong.[Is this also the response to the second dialogue option above?]
- Hua Xi: One of the stories I collected is about an uncommunicative detective and his assistant, a doctor, who work together to solve a lot conundrums.
- Hua Xi: The detective in the story sometimes try to find clues from the suspects' past.
- Hua Xi: Because a person's past often contains hints of all the motives of that person's current behaviors.
- Hua Xi: That's why I think though focusing on today's entry is definitely the right direction, earlier entries are still important resources.
- Makes a lot of sense.
- You are reliable, aren't you.
- Hua Xi: Hee hee. Now you know!
- Hua Xi: Most of Grandpa Hong's entries are brief. He just describes the happening and feelings of the today in a few sentences.
- Hua Xi: But I ded find some long, detailed entries, which I think are key to his whereabout, such as this one.
Uncle Hong's Diary I
The room was filled with clocks. I listened to the hands slowly ticking in the darkness. I opened my eyes, but there was nothing here, only the primitive darkness. I quickly got up and picked up a pen to recorded everything, the dream. yes. it was a dream. This time, I finally caught it and recorded it clearly. I do not possess the talent of a bard, not do I have the fascinating legends of a traveler. I am simply an ordinary storyteller,combining the dream that troubles me with words. It all begins from the long winter season. The ol captain at the harbor always has the same opening lines before setting sail, as a way to welcome the newly recruited young sailors. "The ocean is always unknown to humanity. Although humans have grasped the helm of progress time and time again with wisdom and bravery, the ocean will never bow down to humanity... Countless disasters have befallen those ambitious individuals who venture into the ocean, and tragedy continues to unfold," Those old captain utteres each word with a dull tone, bit it didn't matter, The sailers, excited for the upcoming coyange, simply applauded and cheered, without putting much attention wot the words. The ship slowly left the shore, and the young sailors felt nauseous from the rough voyage, with constant vomiting slowly draining their enthusiasm. A huge creature leaped out if the ocean, causing the young sailors to hide in the cabin, while the captain and the old sailor stood calmly on the deck. "I will forgive your timidity this time, as it is your first encounter with it. PLease remember its appearance. We call it the ancient whale, It is the disaster caused by the ocean, mysterious and immensely powerful. It is the embodiment of demmons of nature. Of course, when dealing with such unknown creature, humans will not succumb. This is the first lesson of your voyage..." Intermittent gunfire broke out on the sea surface, and more and more sailors joined the one-sided attack. Continuously pulling the trigger made them gradually forget their fear and also the reason why they were attacking the giant creature in front of them, which had not harmed them. Under the smok, the ship slowly moved forward along the blood-red trail...
- Hua Xi: What's your take? Doesn't this story feel weird?
- Leaves you panting for more.
- Hua Xi: I feel the same. Plus, the lower half of the page is left blank.
- Feels like an incomplete story.
- Hua Xi: True. The real point of the story remains unstated. Plus there is a decent clank space.
- Hua Xi: No matter what, this story looks like a half finished one.
- Only Uncle Hong knows.
- Hua Xi: The beginning of the story say that this is a recording of a dream. Do you think that feeling is a result of the dream itself?
- Only Uncle Hong knows.
- Hua Xi: Right. Let's move in to the next step of the instructions.
Take the elevator up to the middle floor
- (Interact with the device on the elevator to go to the middle floor)
Head to the next marked location
- (Approach designated location)
- Hua Xi: The graph indicated that we have to reconfigure the Refinery Tower with the console.
- Hua Xi: Let's find someone to talk to first.
Inquire the research about the situation
- (Approach Dizzy Researcher)
Talk to the researcher
- (Talk to Dizzy Researcher)
- Dizzy Researcher: Hydrogen plus oxygen equals hydrogen oxide...
- Dizzy Researcher: ...And which beaker did I put the product in again? Aw, gotta run the reaction over.
- Hua Xi: What is he talking about?
- He seems to be asleep standing.
- Hua Xi: Ha? That's amazing. Then we should leave him be. Let's go quietly.
- He's having a nightmare.
- Hua Xi: Ha? Nightmares are horrible. We should help him.
- Dizzy Researcher: *Yawn... Hm? Why am I here? Wasn't I running an experiment just now?
- Dizzy Researcher: I couldn't be asleep while standing, could I?
- So he's awake now.
- Hua Xi: Hmph. So adult look equally foolish to me when they wake up. Brother's a liar.
- Dizzy Researcher: A young man/lady in black, and a... kid? Who are... Am I still in a dream?
- You can pinch someone to check.
- Dizzy Researcher: Aw! That hurts!
- Dizzy Researcher: Wait, the pain feels do real, so I'm not dreaming... I remember!
- You're waiting for a train...
- Dizzy Researcher: A train that will take you far away... Hey, who put this in my mouth?
- Dizzy Researcher: What train? Oh, I remember.
- Dizzy Researcher: Because the Refinery Tower is offline, the experiment has to stop, so I've come here to refresh myself.
- Dizzy Researcher: But I couldn't help but fall asleep. Maybe I'm just too tired after overnight experiment.
- Dizzy Researcher: Now that this isn't a dream, then you are...
- Huaxi and you tell the drowsy researcher what happened.
- Dizzy Researcher: So many accidents while I'm locked in the lab!
- Dizzy Researcher: Right, if you're looking for the console. There is one outside the Academy.
- Dizzy Researcher: Now I've had my rest. Should be back in the lab. Good luck!
Activate console
- (Solve the Signals Console puzzle)
- Console: <<<Initializing system
- Hua Xi: Big brother/sister, is this what we should do?
- Console: <<<System initialized. Verification required...
- Hua Xi: A verification is required...
- Let's see if something is foreshadowed in the journal.
Uncle Hong's Diary II
I sat in one corner of the square table, and piles of research materials were pushed in front of me by him. He was clearly talking incessantly with his mouth wide open, but all I heard were fragmented words and phrases... the Mine, survival, balance... These words appeared one by one from beneath my pen without any connection. Yes, we were arguing. After pushing the materials aside, I forcefully hammered the table, releasing all the pent-up anger accumulated over the days.
- Hua Xi: The entry is mostly about an argument with a researcher. No information about a passcode.
- Hua Xi: Maybe we try this with brute force...
- ???: You may not want to do that. If you fail to pass the verification for certain times, the console will be locked, and the system will be force shutdown.
- ???: The locking of the console will only delay the reboot of the Refinery Tower.
- The voice becomes even closer to you. It finally moves to the front of you.
- Mo Di: Just follow the steps to pass the verification of the console and everything should be fine. We meet again, (Rover).
- Mo Di: I heard from a co-worker about what you're up to, and I thought you might find difficulties in passing the verification, so I came.
- Mo Di: Looks like it's right on time.
- Right on time!
- Hua Xi: You, you... Aren't you that researcher who was fighting with Grandpa Hong in the journal?
- Mo Di: A fight? The journal? Haha, may I see the journal myself?
- Modee takes the journal and starts reading.
- Mo Di: This feels like what would happen between me and Leili, but that researcher isn't me.
- Mo Di: Uncle Hong is a de facto teacher of mine, so I won't have fights like this with him.
- Mo Di: On the contrary, I respect him a lot, because he taught me one thing.
- Mo Di: There are not only cold hard figures in science, but also lively fantasies.
- Mo Di: For example, we often encounter the infinity symbol when doing research. To some scholars, the lazy eight symbol might look like radio waves crossing the space
- Mo Di: In another case, the symbol is an overturn to the knowledge of life in a sci-fi epic theater play that was on in Jinzhou.
- What play?
- Mo Di: Haha. It's just an example that just crossed my mind. You can have a look yourself at the Jinzhou Theater yourself if you're interested.
- Mo Di: The play was about a catastrophe. To cope with it, human decide to set their mother planet on a journey. In the play a similar symbol was mentioned to hint at the relationship between digital life and reality.
- Mo Di: One symbol, and yet it is able to sketch so many colorful worlds in different ways, though maybe they are kind of hard to comprehend as of now.
- Mo Di: But so many truths are born in such unrealistic, fantasy-like languages. I always grow energetic when I think of this.
- Mo Di: And what does Lei'li do? He would always respond to me with "full of crap" and neglect all those less probable things.
- The question about the coexistence with TD?
- Mo Di: So you've heard about it? Yes. Even if the probability is as small as 0.0001%, it still makes sense to me.
- Is this what you call a researcher's sensitivity to digits?
- Is this what you call a researcher's obstinacy?
- Mo Di: Hahaha, you do know a lot, (Rover). Now let's get on with the issue with the Refinery Tower.
- Mo Di: The console's verification is done by line drawing. When you start the verification process, random images will be generated on a grid.
- Mo Di: You have to put your hand on the grid, and the system will draw a line to connect the coordinates you touch. Repeated coordinates will not be recorded.
- Mo Di: Only when the order and the direction of the line you draw is right, the verification is passed. All right, let's have a try.
Verify through the external Terminal
- (Solve the Signals Console puzzle)
Talk to Modi
- (Talk to Mo Di, "Then?")
- Mo Di: Now you have mastered it. Now just put in the parameters as per the digits shown in the graph.
- Hua Xi: So complicated... We would screw up if Uncle Modee wasn't here to help.
- Mo Di: Just a lift of finger. When the parameter reset is successful, the system will adjust the Refinery Tower and the reboot will be done.
- Mo Di: Now the reboot can take some time. All we need is wait. Thank you for your effort.
- Hua Xi: We don't have any information about Grandpa Hong's whereabouts, though.
- Why don't we read more of the journal now?
- Hua Xi: Hm... I did find a pattern in the previous entries. Though the events are various...
- Hua Xi: They all happen at a few limited places.
- Hua Xi: For example, Grandpa Hong often visits my brother's clinic: "Went to the clinic today and had a routine examination as per Doctor Hua's instructions."
- Hua Xi: Went to the clinic today. The medication is getting so bitter. Lucky Doctor Hua didn't find out I hid candy in my palm."
- Hua Xi: Furthermore. Grandpa Hong always remind the lorry drivers at the transport quarter of the purchase of day-to-day items the Mine needs.
- Hua Xi: Their conversations are also kept here.
- Mo Di: It feels like the routes are set, and what Uncle Hong does is to walk them time after time.
- Mo Di: Then, if Uncle Hong's memory goes wrong, will he go to these places in the journal as he is used to going there?
- Possible indeed.
- Mo Di: However, these places are distributed throughout the Mine. If we were to look for him at these places, it would take a lot of people.
- Give me a map of the Mine.
- Hua Xi: Have you come up with something, (Rover)?
- Mo Di: I have one at the Mine's institute. Just a few moments. Meet me at the gate in a while.
- After a period of time
- Mo Di: You're here. (Rover), this is the map you asked for.
- Mark the places in the journal on the map.
- It took you some time to mark the places mentioned in the journal on the map correctly.
- Hua Xi: A large area indeed. The places Grandpa Hong goes to are centered at three different regions of the Mine.
- Draw a circle with each of these regions as the center.
- Mo Di: I get your point. It's similar to triangulation.
- Mo Di: Draw three circles with the three regions as centers, and the overlapping area is the area where Uncle Hong is most likely to show.
- Mo Di: This greatly reduces the area we have to search. Nice idea!
- That's right.
- Another of the Rover's tricks.
- Hua Xi: Though I don't know what you're talking about, it sounds amazing. Well done, (Rover)!
- Hua Xi: The overlapping area is a corner in the upper living quarter. Let's go there and have a look, (Rover).
- Mo Di: Oh, by the way, you can hand me the samples now, (Rover). When the reboot is finished, we will start the procedures.
- Mo Di: However, it can't be done today, as the reboot can take some time.
Take the elevator up to the upper floor
- (Talk to Mo Di, optional)
- Mo Di: The fights with Lei'li is making me sleepless. I always enjoy looking at the sky with my back lying on the grass when I can't sleep.
- Mo Di: Look at the stars. When will we touch them?
- Mo Di: Now, if we can push science to progress forward, one small step at a time, generation after generation, maybe one day...

Head to the intersection area marked on the map
- (Upon approaching the designated area)
- Bistro Owner: Bye, Uncle Hong. Take care when you go back, eh?
- Uncle Hong: Okay, okay. Tastes just like the old days, but just can't help feeling empty.
- Uncle Hong: What was I going to do?
- Hua Xi: Look, (Rover). That's Grandpa Hong.
- Hua Xi: We finally found you, Grandpa Hong. Everyone's been looking for you.
- Uncle Hong: You are... Huaxi. Why look for me?
- Hua Xi: Great. Grandpa Hong remembers me.
- Bistro Owner: What are you talking about? I think you lost me.
- Huaxi and you tell the boss what happened in a low voice.
- Bistro Owner: Ah, that's why. I thought Uncle Hong cam [sic] here after the maintenance work of the Refinery Tower, as usual.
- Bistro Owner: I'm telling you, my culinary skills are passed down from my fathers.
- Bistro Owner: Uncle Hong would always come here and have a good meal of Jinzhou Stew each time he finishes work.
- Bistro Owner: My father would always say food shortens the distance from home, and the distance between souls.
- Bistro Owner: That's why Jinzhou Stew is not only a simple dish, it's an association of feelings.
- Bistro Owner: What's more, Jinzhou Stew is particularly important to Uncle Hong, because the people sitting beside him here change all the time
- Bistro Owner: And now it's only him.
- Hua Xi: It feels lonely to have meals on one's own. No wonder Grandpa Hong looks dull.
- Let's return the journal first.
- Uncle Hong took the journal. Despite the initial resistance, he read faster and faster as his hand turned the pages.
- Uncle Hong: Journal. That's it. I feel much settled now.
- Hua Xi: Grandpa Hong...
- Maybe we shouldn't ask too much now.
- Hua Xi: Right. Grandpa Hong, we found your lost journal, and fixed the reboot issue of the Refinery Tower.
- Hua Xi: Besides. the quest from Ministry of Development is here to deliver the samples as agreed. That's this big brother/sister beside me.
- Do you have any recollection of that?
- Uncle Hong: Yes... I do. Everything feels familiar again with the presence of this journal. I'm sorry for the fuss.
- Hua Xi: Grandpa Hong still looks a bit strange. Let's take him to my brother.
- Hua Xi: It's kind of late now, (Rover). Like Uncle Modee said, the samples can't be
tested as of now. Why don't you come here another day?
Return to the Ministry of Development
- (Approach designated location)
Talk to Xiaoyu
- (Talk to Xiaoyu)
- Xiaoyu: You're back, (Rover). Everything well?
- You told Xiaoyu what happened back at the Mine.
- Xiaoyu: Sounds like a lot of twist and turns at the Mine. So we'll have to collect the samples on another day.
- Xiaoyu: An argument over whether to coexist with TD or not. It seems to me that they take you as a member of the Ministry.
- Xiaoyu: And let you know their secret inadvertently.
- What secret?
- Xiaoyu: There was a crisis of TD years ago at the Mine... Wait, I have a message.
- Xiaoyu: Sigh, some follow-up work to do about the meeting just now. Was trying to chat with you a little more.
- Xiaoyu: Maybe next time. Take this, it's the reward from the Ministry. I'll see you.
