Where Winds Meet

Sun Mang: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist (1)

This is a guide on how to befriend Sun Mang in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Listen to Sun Mang's story about his failed businesses, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Sun Mang

Urge Sun Mang to Tell His Story

Befriending Sun Mang is easy as you only need to urge him to tell his story of failed business ventures. Volunteer to help him after he told most of his story to convince his AI to befriend you.

Example of Successful Conversation

Sun Mang.png (slumped shoulders, sighing heavily) No more business for me. I'm being honest now ... please, just spare me. If I try again, even the mountains will laugh at my misfortune.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistCmon, you can tell me
Sun Mang.png(regretful, sighing) I said I'd buy them. At first, he refused, acting embarrassed, saying he'd already lined up a big deal but needed money to hire writers in the capital for some stories. So I lent him extra cash and thought I was making an investment ... (spoiler: the only story written was mine ... "The Fool Who Paid Twice".)
Where Winds Meet Protagonistwhat happened next?
Sun Mang.png(eyes dimming, tone bitter) When the wine arrived, I found out it was all fake, cheap imitations of "Parting Tears." When I tried to find him, he'd vanished. Then I thought, at least the jars were real. Heaven's Pier was hosting a Parting Tears tasting event and needed lots of wine jars, surely I could sell them for a good price. (hope is a dangerous thing ... especially when it rides in a broken cart.)
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistI can help you in selling wine jars
Sun Mang.png(face twisted in despair) But when I reached Ceramic Ridge, I learned Heaven's Pier had its own kilns making jars. My heart sank. And then, as if fate mocked me, my cart overturned ... every jar shattered. My whole world collapsed right there on the road. (I didn't just lose jars, I lost my will to believe in gravity.) (sighing deeply, voice heavy) Business and I don't mix. Every venture ends in loss ... I've burned through so much silver, even my purse feels lighter than my hopes.

Sun Mang.png(sighing deeply, voice heavy) Business and I don't mix. Every venture ends in loss ... I've burned through so much silver, even my purse feels lighter than my hopes. I tried staying honest, but honesty just laughed and walked away. If you have any other ideas or need advice on something else, feel free to ask
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(You volunteer in helping him create a business)
Sun Mang.png(mysteriously leaning closer, eyes glinting with sudden hope) I've always had bad luck, but I've just received inside news-a secret trade route that's raising silver. If it works, the profit will last me a lifetime. If it fails ... well, at least I'll have a tale to tell by the roadside.

With a gloomy face, Sun Mang starts pondering his next business idea.(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.
