Dialogue[]
Quest Description- (Talk to Granny Ruoxin)
- Granny Ruoxin: *sigh* The Lantern Rite is here once again...
Is there something on your mind, Granny Ruoxin?- Granny Ruoxin: Things should be festive and lively during the Lantern Rite, you know?
- Granny Ruoxin: But in Qingce Village, the elderly are too old and the young are too young.
- Granny Ruoxin: All those young workers that have since flocked to the big city are either too busy and can't get time off work to celebrate the festival...
- Granny Ruoxin: Or they're too far way to make it back home in time.
- Granny Ruoxin: Lantern Rite is a lively festival, it's a time when everyone should gather together to celebrate...
- Granny Ruoxin: Sure, I understand that it mustn't be easy for them either, but... *sigh* What about all the festivities?
- Granny Ruoxin: Ugh, there's no use in complaining. That's no way to celebrate...
- Granny Ruoxin: If you'd be so kind, I'm sure Ms. Bai could use a hand right about now.
- Granny Ruoxin: The young lady said that she wanted to prepare a table full of food for everyone and is already hard at work on the preparations. I'm afraid that she won't be able to manage on her own...
- Leave it to me.
Don't worry, I'll go lend her a hand.- Granny Ruoxin: Oh, thank you. You're too kind!
- (Talk to Granny Ruoxin again)
- Granny Ruoxin: *sigh* Who knows when the young folks will finally get some time to rest...
- (Talk to Ms. Bai)
- Ms. Bai: Seems we still need quite a few more ingredients...
- Let me lend you a hand.
- Ms. Bai: Huh? Oh, are you willing to help? You've come right on time! I was just starting to worry that we wouldn't manage to get all the ingredients.
- Ms. Bai: Let me see here... If you could, please help me get three chunks of Raw Meat and three pieces of Fowl.
- Ms. Bai: In the meantime, I'll think a way to procure the other ingredients.
- (Give the ingredients to Ms. Bai)
- Ms. Bai: Were you able to get those three chunks of Raw Meat and Fowl?
- (After giving the ingredients)
- Ms. Bai: Great, that should be just enough. Ah yes, I'll also need you to help me go to Pops Kai and tell him to bring all the chairs and tables over.
- Ms. Bai: I plan on making lots of dishes, so if we wait too long to set up the tables, I'm afraid that the food might start getting cold.
- (Talk to Ms. Bai again)
- Ms. Bai: I think we've got just about everything we need...
- (Talk to Pops Kai)
- Pops Kai: Oh? Are you looking for me?
- We'll be needing the tables and chairs soon.
- Pops Kai: Ah yes, the tables and chairs... I remember now. I've already prepared everything.
- Pops Kai: Ah, but there should still be some more inside the shop. Alrighty, let's just bring them all out then.
- You bring out the tables and chairs together with Pops Kai...
- Pops Kai: That should be enough tables and chairs for everybody.
- Pops Kai: I never expected that you'd come all the way here to help me.
- I'm happy that I could help.
- Pops Kai: Heh! I must say that you're quite an extraordinary young (manman/
ladylady)... But why haven't you gone home yet? Don't you plan on celebrating with your family? - ...
- Well, there's reasons...
- Pops Kai: No need to fret, I won't ask any further. I'm sure you have your reasons.
- Pops Kai: If you're willing to celebrate the festival here, you're more than welcome to join us. As they say, the more the merrier.
- (Talk to Pops Kai again)
- Pops Kai: This year's festival is turning out to be quite the big one...
- (Talk to Granny Ruoxin)
- Granny Ruoxin: Ah, you're back. Sorry for making you do so much work on a festive day like this.
- I'm glad I could help.
- Granny Ruoxin: Thank you, you're too kind. I've also been doing my part and managed to make quite a few Xiao Lanterns for the people of Qingce Village.
- Granny Ruoxin: If you'd like, you can find me near the gate later this evening. We'll release the Xiao Lanterns and celebrate the festival together.
- Granny Ruoxin: But who knows where the children have run off to... There's no way I could go and find them with these old legs...
- Granny Ruoxin: Could I trouble you to round them up for me? They've always loved releasing the Xiao Lanterns.
- Granny Ruoxin: And be sure to tell anyone else you find along the way to head back to the village... The more the merrier, you know.
- (Talk to Yundan)
- Yundan: Heh, thank you. Let's go release some Xiao Lanterns in a bit.
- (Talk to Pops Kai)
- Pops Kai: This is exactly how a festival should be!
- (Talk to Dongdong)
- Dongdong: I wonder what food I should try...
- (Talk to Little Liu)
- Little Liu: When will I get to release a Xiao Lantern...
- (Talk to Ms. Bai)
- Ms. Bai: It's such a busy Lantern Rite this year...
- (Talk to Granny Ruoxin)
- Granny Ruoxin: You're here. Well then, let us prepare. We shall begin releasing the Xiao Lanterns once night falls.
- Sure.
- (Proceed to the next step)
- Please wait a moment...
- Granny Ruoxin: Ah, you must still have others you'd like to invite then? We can wait awhile longer.
- (Talk to Little Luo)
- Little Luo: I wonder if Mr. Adeptus will come to Lantern Rite...
- We'll be releasing Xiao Lanterns in the village soon...
- Little Luo: Oh, we'll be releasing the lanterns back at the village? Thanks for letting me know.
- Little Luo: If we release enough Xiao Lanterns, maybe Mr. Adeptus will come...
- (Talk to Chang the Ninth)
- Chang the Ninth: Ah, hello. Do you need anything?
- We'll be releasing Xiao Lanterns in the village soon...
- Chang the Ninth: Granny Ruoxin will be releasing the lanterns? *sigh* She'll probably start to worry if I don't show up...
- Chang the Ninth: Alright, thanks for letting me know. I'll make my way over there shortly. At a festival like this one...the more, the merrier.
- (Talk to Jiangcheng)
- Jiangcheng: Wife...Wife?
- We'll be releasing Xiao Lanterns in the village soon...
- Jiangcheng: Xiao Lanterns? Ah yes, I remember now. Hmm, I suppose it is about time to release the lanterns.
- Jiangcheng: Thankfully Granny Ruoxin always remembers such traditions. Let's go make a wish together, shall we?
- (Talk to Little Luo again)
- Little Luo: I wonder if Mr. Adeptus will come to Lantern Rite...
- (Talk to Chang the Ninth again)
- Chang the Ninth: At a festival like this one... the more, the merrier.
- (Talk to Jiangcheng again)
- Jiangcheng: Think it's about time to release a Xiao Lantern now...
- (Talk to Granny Ruoxin at night)
- Granny Ruoxin: With so many of us gathered together now, things are finally starting to feel like a festival.
- Granny Ruoxin: Heh, now let's release this Xiao Lantern together, shall we?
- Everyone releases their Xiao Lanterns...
- Granny Ruoxin: I wish everyone excellent health and good fortune in the coming year.
- Granny Ruoxin: And may all the youngsters, wherever they are, see their dreams come true...
- Ms. Bai: Alright Granny Ruoxin, if we wait any longer, the food I prepared will start getting cold.
- Little Liu: Wow! Look at all the tasty food!
- Dongdong: Can we go now, Granny?
- Granny Ruoxin: Oh, children... Very well then, off you go now.
- Won't you be joining them, Granny Ruoxin?
- Granny Ruoxin: Oh, me? I'm in no hurry. Besides, I'd like to watch the Xiao Lanterns awhile longer.
- Granny Ruoxin: Which reminds me, these are for you, dear. It's my way of saying thank you for helping prepare all the festivities.
- Thank you, Granny Ruoxin.
- Granny Ruoxin: You're most welcome. From the looks of it, you must still be quite young. I imagine that all this running around must have left you quite tuckered out indeed...
- Granny Ruoxin: Why don't you stay with us for a while and join the festivities?
- Granny Ruoxin: It's good to have a rest after rushing about all year long...
