Conduct[]
One morning, the player wakes up to find a mission icon on the map leading to By The Stairs where Arvio and X are talking:
| | Sauce! Sauce! Put the sauce in first, dear! |
|---|
| | Look, X, I tried already to make your dish. At By the Stairs, I offer hot deals, not hot meals! |
|---|
| | No! No! make it lika Ma used to! |
|---|
| | Hey! I followed the recipe, what more do you want? Well, except for the Spicy Bean Paste... we don't have that in Sandrock. So I just made a substitute with what was available, as in the Barnarock way! |
|---|
| | Of course, having never tasted Seesaian Spicy Bean Paste, I had to guess. So I substituted pepper for "spicy," beans for "bean," and... toothpaste for "paste!" Ah, yes, the sweet odor reminds me of my childhood... |
|---|
| | Bleh! Gross! Ew! No! Spicy! Goodness, it's so hot, I'm sweatin' over here! More spice! |
|---|
| | Ah? Really? But I added extra pepper! It's still not spicy enough for Fang? How fine it is to have a good friend with such different tastes! A good friend who never talks to me even though we see each other on a regular basis... |
|---|
| | In any case, we don't have Spicy Bean Paste! The only person who might have it would be the Mysterious Man! but it seems like he only comes around when he feels like it, how am I going to find him? |
|---|
| | Well, though I would adore for Fang to be able to partake of my gourmet cooking, for now, I must bow out. For his beloved Mapo Tofu, I'm afraid he's just going to have to tough it out; or learn to enjoy it: Arvio Style! |
|---|
| | Bleurgh... |
|---|
| | Well... if that doesn't suit you X, then you go find the Mysterious Man yourself. Maybe he can help you, he's got channels I couldnt' dream of. He isn't all powerful though, there's even some things he doesn't have, but I do. |
|---|
| | You're a bad birdie! Squark! |
|---|
The dialogue ends and X flys away. The player talks to X:
| | What is it, honey? |
|---|
- I want to help.
- It's nothing, nevermind...
| →I want to help. | ||
| | Well aren't you a good little bird? Thanks! | |
|---|---|---|
| | Recipe! Recipe! |
|---|
| | What about the sauce? Don't worry, baby. I'll buy it now. |
|---|
The mission starts and the player receives the recipe for Mapo Tofu.
Talk to the Mysterious Salesman[]
| Maybe the Mysterious Man has Spicy Bean Paste. Wait for him to come to Sandrock. | Talk to the Mysterious Salesman |
|---|
The Mysterious Man arrives to Sandrock the 20th of each season.
| | Spicy Bean Paste you say... interesting... |
|---|
| | My dear Builder friend... you want it for cooking? Let me guess... Mapo Tofu? Haha, well, I love it too! In order to learn to make it, I had to study the art of using the Spicy Bean Paste! |
|---|
| | But alas, I didn't come from that direction, I went through the Ethean border with Duvos. I wish I had com directly from Barnarock but... It's a pity, I wish I had brought some extra... but I have none. |
|---|
| | Right now, I have but some of the ingredients necessary. Broad Bean Seeds, and Spicy Peppers. |
|---|
| | So, are you interested in buying the seeds and peppers? The other ingredients you need are common enough. if you're going to buy these, I'll teach you how to make it for free of charge. |
|---|
Buy Broad Beans[]
| The Mysterious Man doesn't have any Spicy Bean Paste with him! But he said that if you find him Broad Beans, he can teach you the recipe. | Buy Broad Bean Seeds
|
|---|
The player buys the seeds from the Mysterious Man.
Make Spicy Bean Paste[]
| According to the Mysterious Man, if you grow Broad Beans, then add some Salt and Chili, you can make Spicy Bean Paste at the worktable. | Make Spicy Bean Paste
|
|---|
The player needs to plant Broad Beans in their yard. The seeds take 5 days to grow.
Make Mapo Tofu[]
| Follow X's recipe to make Fang's favorite dish, the famous Mapo Tofu. | Make Mapo Tofu
|
|---|
Give Mapo Tofu to Fang[]
| You have the Mapo Tofu, Fang's favorite food. Put it in your hand and go and see him. | Give Mapo Tofu to Fang
|
|---|
When the player goes inside the clinic a cutscene will start.
The player approaches Fang with a plate of Mapo Tofu. Smelling the dish, Fang turns around from his desk. Seeing the dish brings up a memory of his mother.
| Fang's Mom | Happy Birthday, my sweetheart! |
|---|
| Little Fang | Wow! Mapo Tofu! |
|---|
After the cutscene:
| | Smells familiar. |
|---|
| | What... is it? |
|---|
- A delicious dish.
- X gave me the recipe.
| →A delicious dish. | ||
| | I want to... try. | |
|---|---|---|
| →X gave me the recipe. | ||
| | I want to... try. | |
|---|---|---|
| | How much? I'll pay. |
|---|
- It's free, here you go.
- 100 Gols.
| →It's free, here you go. | ||
| | I insist. | |
|---|---|---|
| | Here |
|---|
| | Mother... used to make this. |
|---|
| | Long ago... |
|---|
The mission ends.
Post-conduct[]
This article or section is a stub. You can help expand it.
The morning after the mission ends, Fang will send a letter:
Letter From: Fang |
| Player, Your dish was good. The same as when I was young. If possible, I will come to your Workshop every Wednesday at 7:00AM to pick up more a few times. I will pay you. Every year on the 21st of Autumn, my mother will also want to taste it. Fang |
Fang will appear in front off the workshop on Wednesdays and ask for Mapo Tofu. If the player has some, Fang will pay hundred Gols. If the player does not have any, he will leave.
After three weeks, Fang will appear and offer Mapo Tofu to the player instead.
| | I made it too. |
|---|
- What is it?
- I think you should keep it...
| →What is it? | ||
| | Mapo Tofu, for you. | |

| →I think you should keep it... | ||
| | I made it... to thank you. | |

| | The taste... good? |

- Something's not quite right...
→ I'll make it for you in the future. | ||
| | You... will? | |

| →Do you want me to teach you? | ||
| | I can already. | |
|---|---|---|
| →Something's not quite right... | ||
| | Mm... Arvio... helped... | |
