Quest Description- (Answer Chixia's call)
- Chixia (Contacting): Hey there, Rover! Remember Grandpa Jingzhu?
Of course.
- Chixia (Contacting): Yep, the one who said that "my-unwavering-love" thing.
- Who?
- Chixia (Contacting): The one who said that "my-unwavering-love" thing. Ringing any bells now?
- Chixia (Contacting): So, I ran into him earlier, and he needs our help in snagging Echoes again. Hence, the call.
Sure, why not?
- Chixia (Contacting): Awesome! We’ll catch you near the training grounds, then.
- When I have time.
- Chixia (Contacting): That's fine. Swing by the training grounds when you've got a sec.
- (Talk to Jingzhu)
- Chixia: Now that we're all here, Grandpa Jingzhu, what's the plan?
- Jingzhu: Since our last parting, I've been pondering over Linghan's words, and they've offered me a new perspective!
- Jingzhu: "If you're aiming to become an Echo Master, you can't judge an Echo solely from its appearance. Take this Carapace, for instance. Despite its imposing scythes, it may not what it seems."
- Jingzhu: She believed that the Scythes are only imposing on the surface, yet lacking in practicality and sharpness as weapons.
- Jingzhu: I'm sure if I can hone these scythes to blade-like sharpness, Linghan will gladly accept my Noctemint.
- Really?
- Jingzhu: One improves with practice. We'll know the answer once I try.
- Are you sure this time?
- Jingzhu: Ahem, life is full of uncertainties. If I fail this time, there's always another chance!
- Jingzhu: Alright then, let's set to sharpening these giant scythes!
- Chixia: Um... Speaking of the Echo training grounds...
- Chixia: Ah, that'd be Instructor Yhan's training grounds! I've been there before for the Patroller Graduation Assessment. Honestly, if I can help it, I'd rather not go for round two.
- Chixia: Ahem, but with (Rover) by our side today, it won't be so nerve-wracking, right?
- Chixia: Being timid doesn't fit being a Patroller! Follow my lead. Let's roll!
- Jingzhu: I've heard rumors that Yhan has turned into quite the strict instructor. You'd better take care.
- Jingzhu: There are quite a few juniors in there who were once beaten hard by me, haha! So, I'll refrain from joining you and spoiling their spirits.
- Jingzhu: Here we are. Go on in. Wish you good luck!
- (Talk to Yhan)
- Yhan: Hello, our paths cross again. What brings you here this time?
- I want to train Echoes.
- Yhan: I see. Follow me. Select a training program that aligns with your current skill level.
- Yhan: Just a word of caution. Don't let overconfidence cloud your judgment when choosing. It's wise not to bite off more than you can chew.
- Yhan: Otherwise, you may find yourself in tears.
- (Talk to Yhan after completing Simulation - Sealed Tube)
- Yhan: Not bad. Far beyond my expectations.
- Yhan: (Rover), you never fail to impress me.
- Yhan: Don't hesitate to come to me if you need help. I'd be happy to provide training at different levels for enthusiastic people like you.
- Chixia: Haha, that sounds a tad... intimidating, doesn't it?
- Chixia: I never imagined we'd breeze through all that training so quickly! You're truly living up to your name, (Rover)!
- Chixia: Let's go break the good news to Grandpa Jingzhu!
- (Talk to Jingzhu)
- Jingzhu: Back so soon?
- Jingzhu: Yhan is quite a formidable figure. Breezing through his training is truly commendable.
- Jingzhu: I have no doubt that the world will soon be at your feet, youngsters!
- Jingzhu: Haha, enough banter. Let's get down to the business first. The scythes of the Havoc Warrior await our sharpening!
- (After upgrading Echo to Level 15)
- Chixia: Whoa! It's even more impressive now! Check out those scythes—they're seriously intimidating!
- Jingzhu: Despite your youthful vigor, enduring Yhan's training again in such a brief span may still be quite a challenge. Maybe, we can...
- Yhan: This voice... I knew it's you, Mr. Jingzhu.
- Chixia: In-Instructor Yhan?
- (Listen to Jingzhu's past)
- Jingzhu: Ah, you still recognize this old face, Yhan.
- Chixia: You two know each other?
- Yhan: We do and for a long time.
- Yhan: In the days of the Midnight Rangers, Mr. Jingzhu commanded my utmost respect.
- Yhan: It's been a while since we last met. Mr. Jingzhu. You still look spirited... though your legs don't seem as nimble?
- Jingzhu: Ahem, just a minor accident. You see, I'm getting on in years. A little slip while hiking. Nothing to worry about!
- Jingzhu: I've been resting and should recover soon.
- Yhan: Your injuries seem to have healed well, but don't underestimate the importance of rest.
- Jingzhu: You're as talkative as ever, boy. Back in the day, we endured far worse and still fought valiantly in battles. Remember?
- Yhan: But you have retired for a long time...
- Jingzhu: Retired I may be, but the fire still burns within me! It's been quite some time since I retired, and opportunities to mingle with you youngsters are rare these days.
- Jingzhu: And here stands Chief Instructor Yhan. You've been keeping well, I trust?
- Yhan: I'm merely fulfilling my duty. And how fare your old comrades?
- Jingzhu: Except for Captain and myself, they all... Ah, never mind. Let's focus on happier topics during this once-in-a-while reunion.
- Jingzhu: The past is the past. When you reach my age, you'll realize that the present moment holds the most significance in life!
- Jingzhu: Live in the moment and cherish each passing day. That's how we honor our comrades' sacrifices.
- Yhan: Indeed, Mr. Jingzhu. The present demands our full attention.
- Jingzhu: Exactly, then let's talk about the present. You know what I need now. Are you willing to lend a hand?
- Yhan: You're as spirited as ever, Mr. Jingzhu.
- Jingzhu: Haha, I'm truly flattered.
- Yhan: These should be enough for your needs. Take them.
- Jingzhu: Great, thanks.
- Chixia: Instructor Yhan doesn't seem half as evil as the rumors make him out to be.
- Chixia: I'm still surprised at the revelation that Grandpa Jingzhu was once a Midnight Ranger.
- Jingzhu: Hmph, I'm used to keeping a low profile. Bide my time to impress Linghan.
- Jingzhu: Make her fall in love with me with only one shot!
- Jingzhu: With my natural charm and these finely honed scythes, I'm confident this time I'll win Linghan's heart and let her accept my Noctemint!
- Are you sure?
- Jingzhu: Ahem, absolutely!
- Chixia: What makes Grandpa Jingzhu so sure that having a powerful Echo will win Grandma Linghan's heart?
- Really?
- Chixia: I'm with you on this one. What makes Grandpa Jingzhu so sure that having a powerful Echo will win Grandma Linghan's heart?
- Jingzhu: Of course, it's not just the Echo I've prepared! Linghan once shared her criteria for an ideal partner.
- Jingzhu: She said her ideal partner is a wise and valiant soldier wielding a handsome greatsword, accompanied by a majestic Echo, facing countless foes with unrivaled poise.
- Jingzhu: You see? Apart from the majestic Echo, everything else fits me to a tee!
- ...
- Chixia: ...
- Jingzhu: Why the look? Do you lack faith in me? It's understandable, given the generation gap between us.
- Jingzhu: But when it comes to matters of love, especially for us seniors, trust me. I've got this!
- Jingzhu: Alright, all set and ready. Let's pay a visit to Linghan.
- (Visit Linghan)
- Chixia: Back here again, in this familiar spot.
- Yingying: Grandpa Jingzhu, you're here to see Grandma, right?
- Yingying: I heard you're... um, what's the word? Courting Grandma?
- Jingzhu: Oh my! Hold on, Yingying. You’re too young to understand what that means.
- Yingying: I even learned a new term! Late-life love!
- Yingying: Anyway, Grandpa, you should go for it! I’ll go tell Grandma you’re here!
- Yingying: GRANDMA!
- Yingying: Grandpa Jingzhu is back with more Noctemints for you, Grandma!
- Jingzhu: Oh my, oh my, kids these days are something else.
- Linghan stepped out of the house.
- (Talk to Linghan)
- Linghan: Noctemints?
- Linghan: It's strange. Lately, about ten gentlemen have brought me Noctemints.
- Jingzhu: It's twelve.
- Jingzhu: And now I'm the thirteenth one... Hold on, those before were all me too...
- Jingzhu: Remember what you told me last time? One can't judge an Echo solely from its appearance.
- Jingzhu: That actually makes perfect sense! So I've honed these scythes even sharper!
- Linghan: You can interpret it that way.
- Jingzhu: What a relief to hear that! Alright, let me present to you what we've managed to achieve this time!
- Re-release the enhanced Havoc Warrior
- Jingzhu: What do you think, Linghan?
- Linghan: Sorry, what was the reason for your visit again? Ah, to show me the Echo?
- Yingying: NO! Grandma, he's here to give you Noctemints!
- Oh, girl...
- Jingzhu: Yingying seems to be quite lively today, and that helped me a lot.
- Nice move!
- Jingzhu: Yingying is certainly brimming with energy today, isn't she? That helped me a lot.
- Jingzhu: I suppose I should seize this opportunity. Yes, that's right. I did come to bring you Noctemints. Would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?
- Linghan: Oh dear, this is quite the headache. Thank you, but I'm not presently interested in seeking a partner. Even if I were, I'd prefer someone akin to my former lover...
- Linghan: He was a wise and valiant soldier, and even his Echoes were impressive. Compared to him, everyone else falls short.
- Linghan: So, feel free to ask me anything Echo-related, but let's keep everything else off the table.
- Jingzhu: Alright, then... Sorry to bother you. I shall take my leave.
- Jingzhu stayed put and watched Linghan go back inside and shut the door.
- (Check on Jingzhu)
- Chixia: It seems Grandpa Jingzhu was rejected again.
- Jingzhu: ...
- Chixia: Grandpa Jingzhu, are you okay? Please don't be sad... I-I'll do everything I can to cheer you up.
- Jingzhu: Hmm? Sad? Not in the slightest! Even if I were, it'd be but a mere act.
- Jingzhu: Thirteen failures down, but I'm not about to throw in the towel! I'll persist, be it the fourteenth, fifteenth, or beyond...
- Why are you suddenly fired up?
- Jingzhu: For I've resolved to become the wise and valiant soldier that matches Linghan's ideals!
- Jingzhu: I feel bad for rendering your efforts futile.
- It's okay.
- Jingzhu: Thank you. You two are really kind-hearted!
- As long as you're not stingy about the payment.
- Jingzhu: Don't worry. I'll ensure you receive adequate compensation.
- Jingzhu: Well, this is a little embarrassing... Still, being happy is good for your health, right? At least I made someone happy. It's not too terrible.
- It was quite amusing to watch all of this unfold.
- Jingzhu: Well, this is a little embarrassing... Still, being happy is good for your health, right? At least I made someone happy. It's not too terrible.
- Jingzhu: Thirteen consecutive rejections... Perhaps it's time for some introspection on my approach...
- Jingzhu: Perhaps, Linghan isn't used to such direct and impassioned displays of affection?
- Chixia: That makes sense... Grandma Linghan does seem rather serious, so perhaps it's time to switch tactics?
- Jingzhu: Hmm... What alternative approach should I try?
- Talk more about Echoes?
- Chixia: That's a great idea! Start by engaging her in a topic that grabs her attention, and you might find yourself getting closer to her. Then, asking her to be your partner might just fall into place naturally!
- Jingzhu: Indeed, it seems Echoes are the only thing that captures her interest.
- Jingzhu: I'll have to think carefully about how to improve the Echo. Actually, my captain taught me a lot back in the day, but age has dulled my memory.
- Jingzhu: Alright, let's call it a day. I need to go home and think it over. Here, this is your payment for today's efforts.
