Where Winds Meet

Fang Xu: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist (1)

This is a guide on how to befriend Fang Xu in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Help Fang Xu spend all his earnings every week, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Fang Xu

Tell Him to Spend His Money Helping People

Suggest to do a distribution event of clean food and clothes for the people in General's Shrine to give Fang Xu an idea on how to spend his money. Tell him that this will also boost his reputation and that a good deed is always good. Finally, tell him that you will help him on his cause to befriend him.

Example of Successful Conversation

Fang Xu(pulling an abacus from his waist sash) Oh my, why does this money just refuse to run out? Being rich is such a headache ...
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYou should organize a clean food and clothes distribution event for the poor. That way, it will boost your reputation and also your good will on people. Doing a good deed is good after all
Fang Xu(squinting eyes, nodding thoughtfully) Clean food and clothes for the poor, eh? That sounds like a splendid idea! Not only does it clear out my pockets, but it earns me a fine reputation among the common folk. You're quite clever, buddy!
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes, I suggest doing it here in General's Shrine where many people gather. I will help spread the word of your good deeds
Fang Xu(smiling widely, clapping hands) Here at General's Shrine, where the people honor the brave? Perfect! That way. everyone will see my generosity and kindness. You really have a knack for this, buddy!
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes, I told many refugees from other places to go here so they can experience your generosity
Fang Xu(nodding vigorously, rubbing hands together) Splendid! More people means more opportunity to spread the good word. I'll make sure to prepare plenty of food and clothing. Your help is invaluable, buddy!
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYou are welcome. I will assist you with your task from now on
Fang Xu(eyes gleaming, clapping hands) Buddy, you're a genius! Spending money like this, now that's what I call living!

Fang Xu thinks about your words, thanks you, and prepares to try your method.(Affection +100, becomes Revered)

Note that AI conversations can be unpredictable and even with the same inputs, the same result is not necessarily guaranteed.

How to Succeed in AI Chat

Reset Dialogue When Stuck

If your conversation has gone off the rails, or doesn't end no matter what you say, it's best to simply reset and start anew from a clean slate by clicking the button with a Refresh icon at the top of the chat box. Instead of trying several methods within one conversation, trying one strategy at a time and refreshing if it doesn't go anywhere is generally more effective.

Return to Login Screen if Combat Begins

Sometimes, NPCs will suddenly become violent during AI dialogues. When this happens, it's best to just bail out to the login screen; when you return, the NPC will be found just as they were before the conversation started.

If you accidentally kill a dialogue-capable NPC, our experience has shown that they will respawn, but this has not been heavily tested, so it's best to simply avoid engaging them in combat.

Double-Check the Hint

Even if the NPC appears to be happy with the result of your discussion, this won't always end the dialogue. Double-checking the text written in the hint will imply the win condition, so try strategies which will lead the dialogue towards that result.

I didn't know there was a guide. All I had to do to befriend is actually help the current situation. Since the place is wrecked, in order to spend all of Fang Xu's money is to actually renovate the place. That way, it helps his image and money problem. I keep praising him and that'll help his future endeavours. It instantly turned into 100 Revered. I also did it with Zhao Dali because he's in the same area. I told him that Fang Xu is planning to renovate and that'll help him have potential love.
