Where Winds Meet

Zhou Canying: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Zhou Canying in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Share a few insights regarding the new ship to Zhou Canying, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Zhou Canying

Ask About the Ship and Tell Zhou Canying Its Blindspots

To befriend Zhou Canying, ask her what she knows about the ship and tell her that there are blind spots that exist on the ship. Tell her that you discovered it months ago, and what you discovered was that the guards inside the ship don't go in rotating duties and they are overworked.

Recommend to her to split the guards into teams, so that when a team gets tired from working, another team could take place.

Example of Successful Conversation

(glances around with poised caution, voice smooth yet edged with suspicion) Wanderer, I do not know who you are. Why do you inquire about Weiyang City's grand ship?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistTo know more about why it got its title as a "grand ship"
(raises an eyebrow, gaze steady) Ah, the grand ship's reputation precedes it. It is said to be a marvel of engineering, fit for a city of Weiyang's stature. What specific aspects pique your interest?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(its size and durability. I wanted to know more why it is so unbreakable! I haven't seen it get any scratches from the heavy rainstorms.
(nods thoughtfully, eyes narrowing slightly) Indeed, the grand ship is built with exceptional craftsmanship. Its hull is reinforced with multiple layers of timber, and it employs advanced caulking techniques to ensure water tightness. The design also incorporates
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistI have also noticed that its defense is second to none! Cannons and guards all over the ship! It would make any person to feel secure within its body
(smiles faintly, a glint of interest in her eyes) Yes, the ship's defenses are formidable. Cannons and skilled archers man the decks, making it nearly impregnable. Such measures ensure that those aboard are safe from any threat. Impressive indeed.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(You explained that even though its big, there are also a lot of blindspots that can be abused by pirates or bandits!
(nods slowly, eyes narrowing) True, despite its size and defenses, the grand ship does have blind spots. Clever adversaries could exploit these weaknesses. But such knowledge is dangerous and must be handled carefully. How did you come by this insight?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistWhile checking it out, when it anchored here last 3 months ago.
(leans forward slightly, interest growing) Three months ago, you say? That was during the annual inspection. Many details were overlooked amidst the chaos. Your observations are astute. Continue, I am listening.
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(You also explained that the guards don't go in rotating duties. So guards are always asleep because of being overworked.
(eyes widen, a flicker of intrigue) Overworked guards, you say? This is crucial information. A ship's security relies heavily on vigilant watchmen. If they are fatigued, it creates vulnerabilities. How do you propose we address this issue?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist(You recommended splitting up the navy into teams. So that a new team is ready to switch with the previous team if they are already tired)
(a slow, triumphant smile curves her lips, eyes gleaming with ambition) Excellent. With Wanderer's help, I can surely seize control of Weiyang City's grand ship!

Zhou Canying 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.

She likes to ask if we know of Weiyang City's officials and their movements now, she especially likes to insert it into the dialogue choices you offer now.
