Where Winds Meet

Cao Jinyang: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Cao Jinyang in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Help Cao Jinyang what to do for his lover, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend Cao Jinyang

Listen to Cao Jinyang's Worries

Cao Jinyang worries about his lover being unhappy lately. Tell Cao Jinyang that maybe his lover is worried about him because he is overworking himself for both their sakes. Tell him that seeing him happy will probably make Jingjing happy.

Example of Successful Conversation

(head bowed in dejection) Wanderer ... there's something weighing on my heart. Would you be willing to talk with me?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistTell me anything brother
(looks up, eyes filled with worry) I appreciate your willingness to listen, Wanderer. Jingjing hasn't been herself lately. I've tried my best to make her happy, but it seems like nothing works. (sighs deeply) Could it be that I'm missing something important? (shakes head slowly) Love can't fill a bowl, but if Jingjing loves me, I'll eat well.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistMaybe she thinks that you are hiding something from her?
(furrows brow, looking thoughtful) Hiding something? That's a possibility I hadn't considered. Jingjing is very perceptive. If she senses that I'm keeping secrets, it might make her unhappy. (nods slowly) But I haven't been hiding anything ... except maybe my own worries about making her happy. (sighs softly) In heaven, we'd be birds flying side by side; on earth, I just want to be Jingjing's treasure.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistMaybe because you have been working so hard that she is starting to worry about you
(eyes widen slightly, nodding in agreement) That makes sense, Wanderer. Jingjing is very caring and would surely worry if she thought I was overworking myself. (leans forward, hands clasped tightly) Maybe I should focus more on what brings us both joy instead of trying to impress her with material things. (smiles faintly) Passing by a flower stall, the fragrance fills the air. If only Jingjing could smile like that.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistI think just seeing you happy will make her also happy
(excited) Wanderer, I understand now! Jingjing was unhappy because she guessed I earned that money by working secretly. She said she doesn't want me to exhaust myself. She wants me to do what I truly love ... and what I love most is making her happy! Yes! I'll go find Jingjing right now. Wanderer, I hope you find your own love soon too!

Cao Jinyang thinks for a moment, then chuckles sheepishly, blushing as he glances at Tao Jingjing.(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.
