Where Winds Meet

Ren Shuiliu: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Ren Shuiliu in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Describe the grandeur of a grand ship in an exaggerated way, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Ren Shuiliu

Tell Ren Shuiliu the Details of the Ship

Describe to Ren Shuiliu that the ship is made of wood from the World Tree and that it can take down any ships that tries to ram it due to how sturdy it is. Also tell him that the goddess of life helped in making it weather proof so that no storms will be able to take it down.

Ren Shuiliu will be impressed with the details which will cause him to befriend you, albeit not immediately so keep trying to talk to him until the conversation ends.

Example of Successful Conversation

(glances around cautiously, voice low but eager) Wanderer ... there's something I wish to ask, though I'm not sure if I should speak of it ...
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistPlease, dont be afraid to ask
(leans forward slightly, eyes narrowing with curiosity) Ah, I appreciate your encouragement. Have you any knowledge of the grand ship of Weiyang City? They say it is a sight to behold, with its decks of polished wood and cabins draped in fine silks. Any tales or descriptions would be most welcome.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistThe grand ship lives up to its name!
(nods slowly, eyes gleaming with interest) Indeed, I have heard many stories. But words alone cannot capture the true magnificence of such a vessel. Could you perhaps describe it in greater detail? I am most eager to hear of its splendors.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistWith sturdy materials, it can take down any ships that tries to ram it. I also heard that it was made by the wood from the World Tree. The goddess of life also helped in making it weather proof. No storms will be able to put it down.
(eyes wide with wonder, leaning even closer) Such a formidable and enchanted vessel! Sturdy enough to withstand any ramming, and crafted from the World Tree itself-what strength and resilience! And the blessing of the goddess of life to protect it from storms ... truly, this ship sounds like a marvel of both human ingenuity and divine favor. I can hardly imagine what it must be like to set foot aboard such a craft.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes it truly is a beauty! So please try to enjoy your ride with the grand ship !!
(smiles warmly, eyes sparkling) Ah, the thought of boarding such a grand and luxurious ship fills me with joy! Thank you for sharing these wondrous details, Wanderer. I shall treasure every moment should I ever have the chance to experience it firsthand.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Ren Shuiliu had a fun time riding the ship)
(chuckles softly, face lit with genuine pleasure) It sounds like a truly unforgettable experience! To feel the ship glide through the water, to see the opulence and craftsmanship firsthand ... I can almost imagine it. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through your tale.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistHave a safe trip then, traveler!
(bows slightly, expression grateful) Thank you, Wanderer. May your own journeys be safe and filled with wonders. I look forward to hearing more of your tales when we meet again.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(Ren entered the ship)
(eyes shining with excitement, voice brimming with delight) I see ... thank you, Wanderer, for painting such a vivid picture of that luxurious ship. I'll remember every detail!

Ren Shuiliu expresses gratitude and begins to ponder deeply.(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.
