Dialogue
Find the Client
- (Investigate the Strange Clue)
- You arrived at the agreed meeting point, but there's no one in sight.
- However, it seems there's a red question mark symbol, and beneath it, there's something... it looks like a piece of paper made from a really high-quality material!
- It seems something is written on it... "Steel wheels and copper valves clatter on, Iron serpents race across the land; At the end of the road, a silver star cocoons a prize, A hidden marvel, a touch of autumn's hand."
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (A makeshift poem? And not a great one either... Wait, what if I take the literal meaning...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("Steel wheels and copper valves" probably refer to some kind of mechanical processing equipment. If that's the case, then "iron serpents" is likely referring to pipelines...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("At the end of the road, the silver star" probably refers to a spherical object at the end of a path, with something hidden inside.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (When put together, it seems to be saying "At the end of a certain road in the industrial zone, there's a spherical object with something hidden inside"?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (So, in other words, it's a prize riddle?)
Since I'm already here.- I should go take a look.
Head to the Central Production Area to find the puzzle
- (Investigate the Strange Strongbox)
- Arrived at the location. Is there anything around here? Let's take a look...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (What's this? A very heavy strongbox, looks incredibly high-end... The box itself must've cost a fortune, there's gotta be something valuable inside.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It's a combination lock... There should be some clues around here.)
- Clues must be nearby.
- Better search around.
Look for password clues around you
- (Investigate the Strange Clue)
- There's a strange glimmer nearby... Upon closer inspection, it seems to be a finely crafted card with a red question mark symbol, and it's made of a glossy Porcelume material!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It says... "East, West, South, North, Center, Center." Why are there two "Centers"?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Ah! It seems like I figured it out!)
Solve the puzzle left by the client
- (Investigate the Strange Strongbox)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("East, West, South, North, Center, Center" likely refers to the directions on a keyboard: Up for North, Down for South, Left for West, Right for East...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Start entering the code!)
- (After entering the combination 648255)
- The box is open! But there's only a red question mark and a new riddle inside.
- "By the residential area, a green carpet lies beside, with precious pearls hidden within; the treasures are kept beside, where the jewels rest by the green carpet, near the residents."
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Another riddle?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("Residential" and "residents" should both refer to a residential area, and "green carpet" (might be referringmight be referring /
likely referslikely refers) to a lawn.) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("Precious pearls" is even more obvious. It means there is something valuable hidden inside a spherical object.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (To summarize, it should mean "there is something valuable inside a spherical object near a lawn in a residential area.")
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (There's nothing else in the box. (Looks like there's no choice but toLooks like there's no choice but to /
Looks like we'll have toLooks like we'll have to) check the next location.)
Head to the Former Employee Community to find the puzzle
- (Investigate the Strange Strongbox)
- Arrived at the location—sure enough, there's another spherical object here. There should be a strongbox nearby as well.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Just as expected—another strongbox of the same model. Definitely an expensive, high-end piece of equipment. Hopefully, there's something valuable inside this time.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Another password lock... There must be a clue nearby.)
- Clues must be around here somewhere.
- Better search around.
Look for password clues around you
- (Investigate the Strange Clue)
- There's a strange glint nearby... It's a glazed Porcelume card marked with a red question mark.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It says... "Cat, Dog, Rat — three beasts: 12336; Cat, Dog, Human — three beasts: 12033." What could it mean?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Looks like "human" corresponds to 0, "cat" to 1, "dog" to 2, "rat" to 3, and "beasts" is the sum of all the (animals' numbers mentioned earlieranimals' numbers mentioned earlier /
previous animal numbersprevious animal numbers)...) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (With just this, it's impossible to deduce the password. Another clue must be found.)
- (Investigate the second Strange Clue)
- There's a strange glint nearby... It's a glazed Porcelume namecard marked with a red question mark.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It says... "Cat, dog, human, rat, human, beast," a total of six characters. This should correspond to the password...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It seems like this needs to be combined with other clues to come up with a solution...)
Solve the puzzle left by the client
- (Investigate the Strange Strongbox)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("Cat, dog, human, rat, human, beast," where "human" corresponds to 0, "cat" corresponds to 1, "dog" corresponds to 2, "rat" corresponds to 3, and "beast" is the sum of all the animals' numbers mentioned earlier...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Start entering the code!)
- (After entering the combination 120306)
- The box is open! But there's only a red question mark and a new riddle inside...
- "Finding the two pearls is a difficult task; to obtain the treasure, one must add the stars. In the depths of the study, they are held in the palms; here lies the key to the heavens."
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Another riddle again?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("Two pearls" likely refers to the two spherical objects I found earlier, and to "obtain the treasure," it says to "add the stars," which means I probably need to find another spherical object?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("Depths of the study" and "palms" combined might be suggesting that there's something in the research area that can hold a spherical object with two hands? The last sentence seems quite exaggerated, hinting at something like a final destination.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Summarizing, it seems to be saying that "in the research area, there is something that holds a spherical object with two hands, and this spherical object contains the final prize.")
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It feels like a trick... But since two locations have already been checked, might as well check the last one too...)
Head to the Former Research Center to find the puzzle
- (Investigate the Strange Strongbox)
- Found the statue holding the ball. Upon closer inspection, the ball in the statue's hands can actually be unscrewed... Inside, there's a very intricate device, which seems to be a microphone.
- Microphone: Password?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Voice input? I better check around for any clues...)
- There must be clues nearby.
- Take a good look around.
- (Investigate the Strange Clue)
- There's a strange glow nearby... Is it text written with Porcelume powder? How extravagant!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (The twin stars grant you wisdom; you have already understood everything. Recite the incantation, the secret is: 581038.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (The twin stars grant wisdom... Does that mean the decoding logic from the first two riddles should be used to reconstruct a phrase?)
- I see.
- Grab the microphone and say the password.
Solve the puzzle left by the client
- (Investigate the Strange Strongbox)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("581038", where 0 corresponds to human, 1 to cat, 2 to dog, 3 to rat, and 8 and 5 should correspond to the South and Center on the numeric keypad...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Start entering the code!)
- Microphone: Password?
- Center, South!
- Center, North...
- 58?
- Cat, Human!
- Rat, Human...
- 10?
- Rat, South!
- Human, Center...
- 38?
- (If an incorrect selection is made)
- Microphone: Error!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): There's a mistake. Need to start over and answer from the beginning.
- (Return to the first dialogue choice)
- (After entering the correct combination)
- Microphone: Center, south, cat, human, mouse, south: password verified, unlocking now.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Great! Let's see what the treasure is!)
- The box opened! But it seems empty... Wait. Upon closer inspection, there is a beautiful, thick Porcelume card inside. Just this card alone is worth quite a lot.
- "Congratulations on solving all the puzzles! The journey itself was your reward! Looking forward to our next brain-teasing adventure~"...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Uh... That's it? Huh?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (A sudden sense of emptiness washed over... Who could've orchestrated all of this?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Using expensive high-grade strongboxes, and even deliberately using Porcelume items for content description to prevent Corruption from disrupting the puzzles.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (The one who designed these puzzles clearly has a lot of Dennies.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (So basically, someone with plenty of Dennies set up all these riddles in the Hollow, only to offer no reward at the end?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (No, more precisely, the riddle-setters believe they didn't offer any reward, but just this signed Porcelume card alone is already worth a hefty amount of Dennies.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (So this is someone who lacks a concept of money and is a bit lonely, trying to play a game with others?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (And... the final line from the creator, "Looking forward to our next brain-teasing adventure," suggests that more riddles will be coming in the future?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It's kind of intriguing to think about this person. Maybe there will be a chance to meet the creator in the future.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (After all... with this card as a clue, identifying the person behind it shouldn't be a problem.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Guess I'll keep this card for now.)
