- Uncle Fu: Hello, Player.
Hello, Uncle Fu.
- Uncle Fu: Haha, what a polite young (lad/lass).
Hello, and you are...?
- Uncle Fu: So, what do you think about Hongzhen nowadays?
- Something's brewing up.
- Better days are ahead.
- Uncle Fu: Ah, you're quite optimistic, young one.
- Uncle Fu: You've seen the crisis at Mt. Firmament, yet you're not scared, are you?
- What do you mean?
- Uncle Fu: You remind me of Xinyi the first time I saw her.
- Uncle Fu: You are both someone who lived through turbulent times and stood tall against all odds.
- Uncle Fu: Forgive me, I've lost myself. I wanted to see you because I have something to give you.
- Uncle Fu takes out a scale-like object and hands it over to you solemnly.
- Uncle Fu: Here you are.
- This is...?
- Uncle Fu: When I first became the Mayor of Hongzhen, I came across this thing on one of my walks in the mountains.
- Uncle Fu: At first, I was intrigued by its peculiar shape, so I brought it back to town with me. But afterward, it revealed some truly amazing power.
- What is it?
- Can it turn back time?
- Uncle Fu: Well, no... Listen, I might be old, but I've always let nature take its course.
- Uncle Fu: People age and die, even in Hongzhen. The Sentinel's power could only slow down time but not reverse it.
- Uncle Fu: This scale—It seems like it has captured Hongzhen in a frozen slice of time.
- Uncle Fu: A few nights after I found it, I dreamed of the moment I picked it up.
- Uncle Fu: The dream felt as real as life. I could even see the falling snow clearly—as if time had frozen.
- How incredible...
- Amazing.
- Uncle Fu: Yeah, I was elated by the surprise like you did.
- Uncle Fu: I kept going back to it for the better half of a month until I finally realized I wasn't dreaming that night.
- Uncle Fu: Though small, this scale contains unimaginable power. When I carry it, it records my experiences and lets me relive them later.
- Uncle Fu: I call this ability "Chrono Tracing". With it, I can see and hear everything I've experienced before and even talk to those people in the Chrono Trace...
- Uncle Fu: I used this ability to record every detail in Hongzhen. It certainly made the compilation of the Hongzhen Chronicle much easier.
- Uncle Fu: During the day, I'd go through the archives and visit residents. At night, I used this magical token to organize the information I'd gathered.
- Uncle Fu: As I was ankle deep in the governing affairs... I couldn't picture what a lousy job I would have done on my official duties without its help.
- ...Can I really have it?
- Maybe it's better to give it to Xinyi?
- Why don't you keep it yourself?
- Uncle Fu: Hahaha, before I answer your question, let me ask you one.
- Uncle Fu: Guess what I recorded the most with this scale?
- Important events.
- Uncle Fu: At first, I used it solely for important events. But as time passed, I changed the way I handled it.
- Important people.
- Uncle Fu: You're right. After I had stepped down as the Mayor of Hongzhen, I was no longer involved in Hongzhen's affairs.
- Uncle Fu: When I handed over the position to Xinyi, I gave this scale to her as well.
- Uncle Fu: But she was a considerate one and soon returned it to me.
- Uncle Fu: For she saw that I found I needed it more. So rather than using it to archive the nitty-gritty of her work, she allowed me to record the people I cherished.
- Uncle Fu: I watched many kids in Hongzhen grow up and leave.
- Uncle Fu: At first, I thought they'd come back someday, but I realized I'd never see many of them again.
- Uncle Fu: Over the years, I've really missed those young folks who left Mt. Firmament for new lives.
- Uncle Fu: So, I used the scale to create a Chrono Trace for nearly every resident in Hongzhen.
- Uncle Fu: Whenever I missed them, I visited and talked to them in those Chrono Traces.
- Uncle Fu...
- Uncle Fu: Alright, enough talk about me. Let's talk about you, Player?
- Uncle Fu: Something tells me this scale is related to Jué.
- Uncle Fu: Back then, I thought Hongzhen needed Xinyi more than me, just like Jinhsi did Jué.
- Uncle Fu: I've built my life around this town, but you, Player, you're not restricted to Hongzhen or even Huanglong.
- Uncle Fu: There's a world of expanse out there awaiting your exploration and many interesting souls for you to bond with.
- Uncle Fu: You'll need this scale more than I do... Or rather, you two fit right together.
- Uncle Fu: You can give it Chrono Traces that I can't, showing it truly important moments.
- Thank you, Uncle Fu.
- I'll make good use of it.
- Uncle Fu: Haha, you're welcome.
- Uncle Fu: I have a feeling you're different from those who never return.
- Uncle Fu: However far you go, when you're tired, you're always welcome back to Mt. Firmament.
- Uncle Fu: You know where to find me. Let me know when you want to catch up over a pot of tea.
