Talk to Qianshan[]

(Talk to Qianshan)
Qianshan: What now...
What's the matter?
Qianshan: Who are you...?
Rover.
(Rover).
Qianshan: Great! I know you're an excellent combatant. Can you please help me on this?
What?
Qianshan: I'm Qianshan, a Patroller from Public Security Bureau. I was on an undercover investigation mission.
Qianshan: Can you see that Exile camp on the central island of Yingbo? They are a subordinate of the Hall of Six.
Qianshan: I managed to capture some smuggled items and took them out. A response force will soon arrive to transport them, but another problem haunts me...
Qianshan: I found a new lead from these items.
Hall of six?
Qianshan: Yes. It is quite a pain in the arse for Public Security Bureaus all across the lands.
Qianshan: It's a cunning organization that covers its illegal conducts with seemingly legal ones on the surface. The close-knit operations and the complicated relationships among the six branches make it almost impossible for the Public Security BureauTranscription missing
Qianshan: My mission was meant to find new evidences from within this fortification, so that a coordinated raid with other PSBs can be made possible.
What new lead?
Qianshan: These Exiles will help the Hall of Six to ship some Tacetite Weapons from Jinzhou.
Qianshan: We have to get access to the details of this operation, but as you can see, we are undermanned now...
Qianshan: If I return, not only will I be subject to distrust, but these captured items might not be transported in time...
Qianshan: So I wonder if you are available to find the operation details of their weapon shipment for us?
I am.
Qianshan: Great, thanks!
Qianshan: You'll have to go into the heart of them to find out.
Qianshan: If you just fight your way into the camp, the records might be destroyed.
Qianshan: That's why you have to get some disguise. [sic]
Qianshan: Why don't you get an Exile outfit first?
Now?
Qianshan: Um... we don't have another choice, because the outfit I used was already disposed of...

Discuss your next plans with Qianshan[]

(Talk to Qianshan after collecting the gear)
Qianshan: Great. Impressive efficiency.
Qianshan: Let me look. Right, you have them all.
Then I'll be off.
Qianshan: Hey, don't rush! The Exiles are not so smart, but they're definitely not idiots.
Qianshan: Recently rumors around the camp have been talking about an undercover guy among them. You could well raise doubts if you just walk there like this.
Qianshan: I have a fake identity for you, and some people information of this camp, just in case. You better master them all! Or you'll give the game away as soon as you talk.
So many pages!
Qianshan: It's not so hard I think... I've filtered out a lot of irrelevant information. The original paper took me three whole days to master!
Okay, I'll master them.
Qianshan: This camp is a totally different one from the other Exile camps, because the boss is relentless and the members are all suspicious.
Qianshan: You will be all on your own this time among these people, so the information could well save your life at key moments.
You put together all of this?
Qianshan: No, my late partner Shenhai did.
Qianshan: C'mon, try to master them. I'll check up on you in a while.

Investigate the Exiles camp[]

Infiltrate the camp[]

(Wait until 21:00 the next day)
You set up the disguise with Qianshan's help.
(Walk to marked location)
Qianshan (Contacting): Great. You look pretty much like an Exile now.
Qianshan (Contacting): Go on! I'll keep in touch. If you're not sure of anything, just ask me and I'll find the answer for you.
Qianshan (Contacting): By the way. Take care of the dogs in the camp, because they're sensitive to unfamiliar scents. Don't get found out by them.

(If noticed by a dog or exited quest area)
Qianshan (Contacting): We didn't get the information. Mission failed...
Qianshan (Contacting): It doesn't matter. We still have opportunities. Let's try again.

Talk to the Exile Guard[]

(Talk to the Exile Guard)
Daji: Stop there! Who are you?!
I'm Qiao Yang.
Daji: Who's that?
Dali: Idiot! Qiao Yang is Qiao Sheng's younger (sister/brother). Don't you remember?
Dali: Why are you here now? I think Qiao Sheng said you were arriving next week.
I couldn't wait to meet brother.
Dali: When did you become so close?
Dali: But you didn't come at the right time. Qiao Sheng isn't at the camp right now. He went to buy medicines. The wound in his left leg, you know.
I can wait at the camp.
Prosper was silent for a while.
Isn't his leg wound at the right leg?
Dali: Is it? heh, [sic] looks like I made a mistake.
Couldn't make anymore money at Jinzhou. I grew tired of waiting.
Dali: That's right. You do know something, don't you?
Dali: Unfortunately, there's a new order from the boss. Nobody enters without a pass, not even himself.
Daji: But didn't we let him in that day? He didn't produce the pass.
Dali: Shut up. You talk too much.
Dali: Things are not peaceful in the camp recently. Just wait until Qiao Sheng's back.

Head to the upper level of the camp for investigation[]

Qianshan (Contacting): No. We can't wait. Let's find another way to sneak in.
Qianshan (Contacting): There are two possible places where the details of the weapon tranport [sic] might be kept.
Qianshan (Contacting): First, in the hands of Kuixiao, the IT guy. Second, in the hands of Xiyun, the boss.
Qianshan (Contacting): Let's start from the easy one. Go to Kuixiao's place and find the Terminal he's responsible of. See if something useful is there.

Distract the Exile and investigate info on the Terminal[]

(Head up the elevator and speak to Kuixiao)
Kuixiao: Who's that? Wanna get yourself killed?
I'm Qiao Yang.
Kuixiao: Huh? Oh, so you are Qiao Sheng's younger (brother/sister)? You got here quick.
Kuixiao: You [sic] brother's not back. What are you here for?
Someone's looking for you.
Kuixiao: Who? Sending a freshman to get me?
Zaijia just said he needed your help on something.
Kuixiao: Him again! Can't he do his own job? Why always get me to do it?
Kuixiao: And he even has me stay overnight. My skin condition is worsening.
Fu'ze just said he needed your help on something.
Kuixiao: He asked my help? Are you sure? That's really a change.
Kuixiao: Fine, I'll take a look. You wait here. Don't let anyone in.
Kuixiao: Oh right. Now that Qiao Sheng told you to turn to me. He must be confident of me. Let me be your mentor before he's back.
Kuixiao: Wait here. I'll familiarize you to the environment here when I'm back. Oh, and...
Kuixiao: ... Do you prefer hot food, like Qiao Sheng? I can inform the kitchen for you. We got a new cook recently. He can cater to your taste.
Great, thanks.
Kuixiao was silent for a while.
Kuixiao: Hm, you're welcome.
Both of us are not fans of hot food.
The material wasn't clear whether Qiao Sheng favored hot food, but since he has health issue [sic], maybe he is more careful about food...
Rover: Both of us are not fans of hot food...
Kuixiao: Oh, that reminds me.Qiao [sic] Sheng did say something like that.
Kuixiao: Things are not peaceful recently in the camp. Stay here. Be right back.
(Wait for Qianshan's response)
Qianshan (Contacting): Hmm, the material wasn't clear whether Qiao Sheng favored hot food. He must be testing you. How scheming...
Qianshan (Contacting): Let me see... His health is not so good. Maybe he's more careful about food... Say both of you don't like hot food!
Both of us are not fans of hot food...
Kuixiao: Oh, that reminds me.Qiao [sic] Sheng did say something like that.
Kuixiao: Things are not peaceful recently in the camp. Stay here. Be right back.

Check the info on the Terminal at the upper level of the camp[]

(Investigate the info on the Terminal)
Rover: What is this?
Rover: Shenhai? Why is Shenhai's note here? Wasn't he your late partner?
Rover: "... Patroller... Confirmed to be dead."
Qianshan (Contacting): This should be... a note dating back two years.
Qianshan (Contacting): Shenhai was exposed in the operation then. The record must be compiled at that time...
Rover: You...
Qianshan (Contacting): It's okay.I [sic] won't do anything outrageous.
Qianshan (Contacting): The information we're after is not here. Let's take a look at the boss' place.

Head to the lower level of the camp for investigation[]

(Speak to Jian)
Jian: Who, who's that?! Don't you mess around, you know what I'm sayin'? Hic...
Jian: Get yo' eyes open, you hear me? Boss said we got infiltrated again in the camp.
Jian: Why do these fricking Patrollers have to keep watchin us? I'ma show this undercover guy some real things if I caught him.
Jian: You, you look unfamiliar...
I'm Qiao Yang.
Jian: Sounds like a name I know. Do you work for me?
Jian: Ha, got too many guys workin' for me. Can't tell who's who.
I'm Rover.
Jian: Rove? Where you rovin' to? Hahaha...
Jian: Oh my. Drank a little too much.
Jian: Hm? Why you standin' still? Get lost.

Distract the Exile and investigate info on the Terminal[]

Qianshan (Contacting): Listen, Xi'yun, the boss is usually in the small cabin ahead. You have to drive her away.
Qianshan (Contacting): We need to transmit all data found in the cabin to our Terminal.
Qianshan (Contacting): The transmission could take some time, so you have to ensure it won't be interrupted.

(Destroy signal machine)
Xiyun What, the signals [sic] broke again? Does that machine even work?

Obtain info on the camp leader's Terminal[]

(Investigate Terminal)
Data transmitting...

Search for other clues around[]

Xiyun Hello, Rover.
What?
Xiyun Easy. It's only the two of us now. Stop acting and relax.
Xiyun You're a good (actress/actor), I must say. I was almost fooled.
(Inspect the status of the Terminal)
The transmission is not finished.
I must wait a little longer...
Xiyun The only thing is, I didn't know this camp was so important that the Public Security Bureau would send you here.
What Public Security Bureau? I'm wronged.
Actually I was sent by the Hall of Six.
Xiyun So you wanna keep acting? Okay, go on. I'm not in a hurry.
There's a change of plan. The weapons will go via another route.
Xiyun Oh, really? Why?
Xiyun Our cooperation with the Hall of Six was always supervised by Qiao Sheng. Why did they call you in suddenly?
Not the first time Qiao Sheng stabbed somebody in the back, is it?
Xiyun Hahaha... You do know him.
And you do trust him.
Xiyun ...
Xiyun Makes sense actually, what you said.
Xiyun Then why don't tell me [sic] about the new route?
We go to Port Gunchao and transport the weapons by ship.
Xiyun Hahahaha! Port Gunchao? That's imaginative I have to say. You'd have to dodge the Patrollers on that route. Will you be able to even move?
Xiyun You... Oh...
Xiyun Huh? Oh...
Xiyun With what you're capable of... Makes sense now.
Xiyun Did they really change the route? Why am I not told?
Could it be that someone altered your Terminal?
Xiyun Since you said that... No wonder Kuixiao told me that the Terminal seemed to have been compromised today.
Xiyun Darn it. So Qiao Sheng is the traitor! Covering up with that Hall of Six identity. Hid so deep, didn't he?
Xiyun Are there concrete arrangements for the new route? How should we work with you? Tell me the plan.
I'd be happy to oblige, but not now.
Xiyun Why?
Because... Time's up.

Bo: Our secrets are stolen! Stop (him/her)!

Defeat the Exile reinforcements[]

(Approach marked location)
Dali: I knew there was something wrong with (her/him)!
Dali: Daji! Get (him/her)!
Daji: Stop there!
(Defeat four Exiles)

Report to Qianshan[]

Qianshan (Contacting): It was so close. Are you all right? Any injuries? It sounded very intensive.
Qianshan (Contacting): I've never seen so many of them attacking one target at the same time like that during my time as an undercover agent in the camp.
Qianshan (Contacting): Thankfully you're capable enough.
Qianshan (Contacting): Come see me as soon as you can with the information you got! I'll be waiting.

(Head to designated area and talk to Qianshan)
Qianshan Rover! Are you okay?
Here's all we've gathered so far.
Qianshan Great. Leave the rest to us. We will give them what they deserve. Both this camp and the Hall of Six.
Qianshan Thank you for your help! Please take the reward.
