Quest List

Jovial Patroller:
Hey, friend, I can see you've got some skills. Want to give it a shot?
Jovial Patroller:
Well, it might be a little risky, but, you know, fortune favors the bold!
Minghu:
Honestly, I just switched from logistics, so I'm not great with this stuff... Oh, by the way, I'm Minghu. Nice to meet you.
Minghu:
So I have no choice but ask for help. Anyway, as long as I can get it done, it doesn't matter much if I'm the one doing it.
Minghu:
See those Sound Dampeners? They were damaged by TDs in the last onslaught.
Minghu:
First, we gotta fix up these three Sound Dampeners, then activate them to take down the TDs that are drawn in.
Minghu:
It's been a while since they got damaged. There might be quite a few TDs to deal with, but I'm sure you can handle them well!
Minghu:
Great! Give me your name, phone number, and details about your weapon. I'll assess it and get you registered.
Minghu:
Rover, huh? That's a good name. Unique and impressive!
Minghu:
You've also got a good weapon. That should do the trick...
Minghu:
Alright, assessment passed! Let's dive right in!

Minghu:
Fantastic! I knew you had talent! The job's done perfectly!
Minghu:
To be honest, fixing those Sound Dampeners is pretty challenging. I've tried getting help from others before, and none of them succeeded...
Minghu:
Here, take your payment. Thanks to you, I can wrap up this job nicely now!
Minghu:
Next time I run into something tricky, I hope you'll lend me a hand again! Thanks in advance!

Minghu:
Hey, no worries. It's pretty challenging. Even divine power can't nail it in one go.
Minghu:
Maybe you're a bit off today. It happens to everyone.
Minghu:
I still have confidence in you. When you're feeling better, you should give it another shot!
Minghu:
I'll be right here waiting for you.

Minghu:
Back again! Ready to fix those Sound Dampeners and tackle the TDs? Awesome!
Minghu:
Are you ready? We can start whenever you're ready.
Minghu:
Alright, let's get started.

Minghu:
Seems like you need to connect these circuits to repair this Sound Dampener.
Minghu:
All those twisted circuits are making me dizzy, and my head's starting to ache.
Minghu:
Hmm... Maybe you can try linking the circuits with the same color.

Minghu:
Fantastic! All fixed! You're pretty sharp, huh? Didn't take you long to get them all sorted.
Minghu:
The Sound Dampener's activated!
Minghu:
Once activated, it'll attract a big wave of TDs. Be careful!

Minghu:
Next one is in the southeast corner...
Minghu:
Oops, its sensing modules seem to be missing. You need to find them first.
Minghu:
Once you find them, slot them in, and that should do real nice.

Minghu:
Good job! They're all in place. Didn't realize you were so good at finding stuff.
Minghu:
Alright, the Sound Dampener's activated.

Minghu:
Finally, the one in the southwest corner.
Minghu:
Just push those suspended blocks into the corresponding pedestals, and that should do the trick.

Minghu:
Fantastic! It works!
Minghu:
The Sound Dampener's activated. Take down the last wave of TDs!

Minghu:
Hey, is it Rover? Mayday! Mayday! Help me!
Minghu:
Somehow, we've detected a large wave of TDs appearing in the nearby area!
Minghu:
I can't handle them alone, so I need your help.
Minghu:
I'm sorry, but can you come here as soon as possible? It's really urgent.
Minghu:
I'll pay you twice as much as yesterday!
Minghu:
Since the day I joined the Patroller, I've resolved to sacrifice my life rather than shy away from my responsibilities.
Minghu:
So when there's a situation beyond my ability, I have no choice but to hire someone to help me. I must fulfill my responsibilities!
Minghu:
Anyway, just come as quickly as possible. I sent the coordinates to your Terminal!

Minghu:
Thank goodness, you've finally arrived!
Minghu:
Let's hurry up. I've brought the car over, and we'll drive it to the destination.

Uncle with Rugged Face:
Are you awake?
Uncle with Rugged Face:
This is where the red-clothed keep their prey. Glad to meet you. I'm your cellmate.
Uncle with Rugged Face:
The next time you encounter those ridiculously high-paying jobs, you need to think twice; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Uncle with Rugged Face:
Huh? Were you intentionally caught?
Uncle with Rugged Face:
Hehe, your exceptionally huge curiosity for the truth would suit you well as a Patroller.
Uncle with Rugged Face:
Well, since we're both stupid fools, let's exchange our names in case something happens.
Uncle with Rugged Face:
What do you go by?
Minghu:
Okay, Rover. I'm Patroller Minghu. Pleased to meet you.
Minghu:
Yes. Here's my ID. If you don't trust me, use your Terminal to identify it.
Minghu:
As for my clothes...
Minghu:
Shh... Someone's coming.
Minghu:
That was fast.
Minghu:
Relax. He's on our side.
"Minghu":
I'm so sorry. I was left with no choice but to kidnap you. Please forgive me.
"Minghu":
I'm here to make amends. Wait a sec, and I'll help you out.
"Minghu" took out a key and tried to unlock the door but failed.
"Minghu":
Oh no, those bastards changed the lock to a laser one. The key doesn't work!
Minghu:
Hey, don't panic. I think we can use the mechanism over there to unlock the door.
"Minghu":
Oh! Yeah, there's a mechanism over there. Looks familiar to the one Rover solved yesterday.
"Minghu":
But... I don't know how to solve it, and you're locked inside...
Minghu:
Not a big deal. We can hear each other clearly from this distance. Just let {Male=him;Female=her} tell you how to solve it.
"Minghu":
You're right! Please, I'm counting on you, Teach Rover!

Minghu:
Well, honestly, I'm more comfortable in this outfit.
Xiaojue:
Fantastic! Now we have time to get to know each other better. Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Xiaojue, an Exile.
Xiaojue:
I was just out looking for my missing friends, but then I got lured by a high-paying job and ended up here.
Xiaojue:
Well, thinking back, it was obviously a fraud! How could one earn such a huge sum just by killing some TDs! I was blinded by greed and got carried away...
Xiaojue:
Then I was caught by the red-clothed, and they confiscated all the money I earned from that TD-killing job... They even took away my savings!
Xiaojue:
But it's not all that bad. When I got here, I stumbled upon the weapons my friends used to carry around.
Xiaojue:
You know, us Exiles always keep our weapons handy, unless something unexpected happens. So the moment I spotted my friends' weapons, I knew they must be here. To save them, I had to...
Xiaojue:
Calm down, calm down. If I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have gained their trust, and I wouldn't be able to save my friends.
Xiaojue:
So I joined them, attempting to earn their trust. Fortunately, I'm pretty smooth, and with my knowledge of the surrounding areas, they usually sent me on errands.
Xiaojue:
...It took me a long time before they completely trusted me. So now, they've started assigning me the task of kidnapping people.
Xiaojue:
As long as I could kidnap someone, I would have an excuse to come to the prison.
Xiaojue:
Well, not exactly. Minghu told me to kidnap someone who's smart and strong. In that case, I would have a higher chance of escaping.
Xiaojue:
That's why he lent me this outfit and told me how to activate those devices.
Xiaojue:
So I found you! Someone who's smart and strong!
Minghu:
Sorry to have involved you in this because of my advice.
Xiaojue:
Sorry. But I know where they hide my money and they put your weapons there too!
Xiaojue:
I'll take you there to get your weapons back. Oh! And please take my money as compensation. Sorry to have you involved.

Xiaojue:
Why are there so many people here? They're talking about all this weird stuff.
Minghu:
While they haven't noticed, let's take the initiative and get rid of them.

Xiaojue:
*snort* Compared to these red-clothed folks, Patrollers are nothing to fear!
Minghu:
?
Xiaojue:
My bad! My bosses used to say Patrollers are a bunch of fierce and ruthless guys stopping at nothing to achieve their ends.
Xiaojue:
But after staying with Minghu for a while, I realized they lied to me!
Xiaojue:
Minghu didn't treat me poorly just because I'm an Exile. He even showed me the ropes on gaining trust and where to investigate.
Xiaojue:
Now, with Rover on board, our operation is bound to run smoother! We should be able to save them soon!

Xiaojue:
Phew, finally got the key. Just standing here gives me an uncomfortable feeling. Let's get out of here.
Minghu:
Wait. Look at this.
Minghu:
That's an unexpected discovery.
Xiaojue:
So these apes were injected with something?
Minghu:
Yeah, I'm afraid they were injected with the spore extract, which can control their behavior, making them bloodthirsty and aggressive.
Minghu:
And now, those red-clothed people probably want to use the spore extract on humans...
Xiaojue:
What! That's bad. We have to rescue them as quickly as possible!

Jia'ming:
Thank you! Thank you so much for saving my life!
Nianqiu:
Thank you. I thought I was going to end up in this dark prison...
Maosan:
I wonder how Gousi's doing...
Fengbai:
I remember the red-clothed took him upstairs.
Xiaojue:
Okay, let's go up and save him!
Fengbai:
Mr. Minghu, I'll take care of things here. Please go up and save Gousi.
Fengbai:
If those red-clothed people come back, I'll protect them.
Minghu:
Alright, I'll leave this to you. Lead everyone to a safe spot near the entrance, and we'll join you after rescuing Gousi.

Gousi:
NO! Stay away from me!
Gousi:
I don't want to become a zombie or something!!!

Xiaojue:
Gousi, are you okay?
Gousi:
Thank goodness you guys came in time! It's... it's too close. I don't want to be controlled like those apes!
Minghu:
This place isn't safe. Let's get out of here.

Maosan:
Gousi! You finally escaped! Are you alright?
Xiaojue:
Let's get out of here first, and we can talk later.
You and your companions gathered and left the cave.
Ambushing Man in Red:
Do you think you can come and go as you please?
Maosan:
You scammers kidnapped my friends, and I won't let you get away with it!
Gousi:
We won't let you!
Maosan and Gousi rushed towards him but were quickly knocked down.
Ambushing Man in Red:
So, who's next?

Connect the circuit to initiate the test
Minghu:
We're safe for now. Let's hurry up and leave.
Minghu:
I've already taken photos of crucial evidence, and the Patrol Station will send people to handle it.
Jia'ming:
Thanks to all of you, I'm still alive. From now on, I won't trust those "buy one get ten", "one lottery ticket for a Terminal", and "doing grocery shopping to earn a house" schemes...
Jia'ming:
Besides, I'll tell everyone in the neighborhood not to believe in these frauds!
Nianqiu:
Thank you, Mr. Patroller and Rover. I'll try to find my Prince Charming in a genuine way.
Nianqiu:
Now I know there's no handsome and rich boy with washboard abs who will buy me big rings without even meeting me!
Fengbai:
Even if you meet each other, you shouldn't trust those sweet words easily! We'll regularly conduct anti-fraud campaigns. Feel free to join!
Nianqiu:
Okay, okay, I'll definitely go.
Xiaojue:
After we go back, I'll talk to the boss and make sure other companions are aware of these tricks.
Maosan:
If we hadn't been so desperate for money to repair our camps, we wouldn't have fallen for this silly trick...
Gousi:
Hey, don't you think this place looks good? There's a natural cave here. Plus, the red-clothed have left. We can make use of this cave. What do you think?
Xiaojue:
You're right. Let's tell the boss when we're back. It might save us some money.
Maosan:
We owe this to Rover. We barely escaped with our lives. We need to let other companions know and show {Male=him;Female=her} respect when coming across Rover.
Xiaojue:
Thank you, Rover. Thank you for taking those bad guys down and saving our lives. I sent the coordinates of the treasures to your Terminal. Feel free to take them!
Xiaojue:
Maybe when we get rich, we won't be so easily fooled by these tricks...


Take out the patrol in red
Minghu:
This one. Get in the car!
As you were about to get in, a sudden dull pain hit the back of your head. Your consciousness gradually faded away, and you passed out.

Head to the back door

Xiaojue:
There we are! They have business to attend to, so no one's here.
Xiaojue:
C'mon. Take your weapons.
You reclaimed your weapon. You held the familiar weapon in your hand, and there's a satisfying weight to it.
Xiaojue:
Oh no! How come there are guards patrolling at this time!
Xiaojue:
No, no, no. They must've discovered that someone broke out from the prison!!
Minghu:
Relax. Now that we have our weapons back, we don't need to fear them. Let's take them down.

Investigate further
Xiaojue:
Wow! Impressive! With you two by my side, I don't need to fear the red-clothed.
Minghu:
The path's clear. It's not safe to stay here. Rover, you'd better get out of here before they find out.
Xiaojue:
We still have companions to save! That's why Minghu's here; he won't leave unless he saves those victims.
Minghu:
eah, there have been several cases of residents disappearing in my jurisdiction. My subordinates investigating the cases also went missing.
Minghu:
So I pretended to be tricked and made my way here.
Minghu:
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Xiaojue:
Minghu, hurry up. "Huzi" is waiting for us to save him!
Minghu:
To be honest, it'll be a bit challenging, but it's still within our abilities.
Minghu:
Besides, we don't want to further bother you with this issue. You were just unfortunately caught up in this thing.
Xiaojue:
But... {Male=he;Female=she}'s resilient. With {Male=him;Female=her} on our side, our chances of rescuing the kidnapped will significantly improve. And... I can't bear to lose my friends.
Xiaojue:
Thank you. Your help means a lot to me! There are hidden treasures here, and I'll lead you to their locations!
Xiaojue:
I really, really thank you for your help!

Open the gate
Fengbai:
Patroller Minghu? Why are you here?
Minghu:
I'm here to save you, of course.
Jia'ming:
Patroller! It's a Patroller! We're saved!
Maosan:
Xiaojue!!
Xiaojue:
Maosan! Are you okay? What about Gousi?
Maosan:
I'm fine, but Gousi was taken away by those red-clothed people. Still no news from him...
Xiaojue:
Don't worry. We have Minghu and Rover here. We're bound to leave together!
Xiaojue took out the key he used before and tried to open the door but failed again.
Xiaojue:
This darn key! Could they give me the wrong one?
Fengbai:
Dude, you probably don't know that the keys to these cell doors are carried by a junior leader.
Minghu:
Fengbai, did you find out anything about that junior leader?
Fengbai:
From what I've observed, the junior leader should be in the room next door at this time.
Minghu:
Good, we'll be back soon.
Maosan:
Wait. Take this!
Maosan:
When those red-clothed people took Gousi away, I tried to stop them. Though I didn't win, I managed to grab this.

Defeat the man in red
Xiaojue:
Another annoying mechanism! Why are they everywhere?
Minghu:
Perhaps they hide something important ahead...

Leave the cave
Minghu:
This one. Get in the car!
As you were about to get in, a sudden dull pain hit the back of your head. Your consciousness gradually faded away, and you passed out.

Xiaojue:
It's too dangerous over there. We have no weapons right now. Let's go the other way.
Minghu:
He's right. Let's go get our weapons first.

Xiaojue:
There we are. Fortunately, the lock hasn't been changed.
Xiaojue:
Rover, come take them!

Minghu:
As expected, these apes really hate the red-clothed and will help us confront them.

Gousi:
I don't want to be controlled!

Actor No. 1:
Wh... who are you? What... what are you doing?

Strange Researcher:
Stop, this is a research area, you can't go in.
Strange Researcher:
Yes, please leave immediately.

Actor No. 1:
Good outfit. I'd fit myself in those researchers if I carry a tablet with my hands.
Actor No. 2:
What are you talking about? We're researchers.
Actor No. 1:
Oh, I get it. Let's make it more real. Lee, how did your research go today?
Actor No. 2:
Well, it wasn't good as I expected...

Maosan:
A perfect shelter it is! Ah, I can't expect a more comfortable life...
Gousi:
I agree. We should thank Rover for that.
Maosan:
I told boss about it. {Male=He;Female=She} deserves some proper respect.
Maosan:
Oh! Yes, yes! What brings you here? We've been thinking that we could find such a good place only because of you.
Gousi:
Yeah... A shelter and some necessary money really save us from doing those dirty jobs!

Actor No. 1:
Well, if that's the case...
Actor No. 2:
Did you use this to break the spore?
Actor No. 3:
Interesting. I should take a good look at it...

Actor No. 1:
So he begged for your mercy?
Actor No. 2:
No, he just can't give up.
Actor No. 3:
Don't let his minions ruin our research.

Xiaojue:
The junior leader's ahead! But why does this place feel so eerie? Dark, creepy, with so many locked apes.
Minghu:
These apes might be of help... Let's find the switch and open the cages.

Xiaojue:
This is mind-blowing. I wonder how did you make it.
Xiaojue:
Trust me, I'll give you some results!

Long'er:
Hey, you're the Rover, right? I'm the boss of Maosan and Gousi. They told me you've saved them from some kind of mess.

"Minghu":
Are you sure? Don't get it wrong. If stepping into some trap, I'll be...

"Minghu":
Whoa! Something doesn't feel right...

"Minghu":
Great! I think we're on the right track.

"Minghu":
C'mon, we're almost there!

Fengbai:
Rover, long time no see.
Fengbai:
Since the last time you wiped out that scamming red-clothed group, security around here has improved a lot.
Fengbai:
Nearby Exiles have become friendlier too, not causing much trouble.
Fengbai:
After the situation here calmed down, Mr. Minghu applied for a transfer to an area with poor security.
Fengbai:
Now, he's probably doing another undercover mission somewhere... Hehe, Mr. Minghu can never stand an idle life.
Fengbai:
Well, the anti-fraud campaigns have been going very smoothly, and more and more people are participating.
Fengbai:
Everything has become better, and you have a share of the credit in that.
Fengbai:
Though it's been a while, I still want to say thank you again.

Actor No. 1:
If only I had known... I should've figured out that earning a Terminal by buying a lottery ticket is downright impossible!
Actor No. 2:
I feel like such a fool! How could I believe there were rich and handsome guys looking for companions? Clearly a scam!
Actor No. 3:
Enough about that. We're already caught. It's too late to regret.
Actor No. 3:
By the way, have you guys heard those strange sounds lately? Like someone crying for help...
Actor No. 1:
You got me thinking... There have been strange sounds for several days now.
Actor No. 1:
Could there be something invisible around us?
Actor No. 4:
Hey, cut the nonsense. Don't be afraid. We need to trust in science and Patrollers. Someone will come rescue us!

Actor No. 1:
Hiring skilled experts to repair Sound Dampeners and expel Tacet Discords. Pays Good!
Actor No. 1:
C'mon, peoples! Don't let this chance slip by!
