He Ruiyang: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist (1)

This is a guide on how to befriend He Ruiyang in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Hear about what He Ruiyang has to say regarding not being a simp, with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend He Ruiyang

Listen to He Ruiyang's Worries and Tell Him You Relate with Him

To befriend He Ruiyang, listen and ask what is bothering him and tell him that you can relate with him. This will raise his opinion of you and befriend you eventually after talking to him.

Example of Successful Conversation

(sighs, eyes vacant) Wanderer! Tell me, I've given so much for Lady Hua! Why doesn't she understand my feelings? l' ve decided! I won't pursue her anymore!
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes my good sir, you should value your self more
(nods slowly, a faint smile) I've figured it out! Let's part on good terms. From now on, she can sail her own boat, and I'Il paddle underneath to keep her afloat. (makes crying noises)
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistBut that will hurt you in the long run
(waves hand weakly) I know, but it's the least I can do for her. Lady Hua is brushing me off-but only me! That means I'm special to her. If she truly disliked me, she wouldn't acknowledge me at all. She's being perfunctory with me ... good! I like her even more now!
Where Winds Meet Protagonistyes follow your heart!
(reminiscing, eyes distant) She cared for me too! Last time I had a fever, I came to Revelry Hall and asked why she didn't care. She asked if I was sick and told me to take medicine quickly. See? She actually worried about me! She's so gentle.
Where Winds Meet Protagonistmaybe she does care for you
(eyes gradually becoming determined) My friends warned me too-they said they'd break my legs if I kept this up. Ah, thank goodness it's my legs, not my hands, or I couldn't play pitch-pot with Lady Hua!
Where Winds Meet Protagonistyes my friend luckily its only the legs
(smiles wistfully) Indeed, I'm grateful for that. But tell me, Wanderer, have you ever felt so strongly about someone that you'd do anything for them?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYes I do infact I can see myself in you
(nods understandingly) It's a strange feeling, isn't it? Being so devoted that even rejection feels like a kind of connection. (pauses, looks around) So, Wanderer, what brings you to Velvet Shade Revelry Hall today?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistI came here feeling I could share the same story with another and I met you, you got this my friend
(grins, chest puffed out) Just thinking of Lady Hua fills me with courage!

He Ruiyang ignores everything around him, completely lost in his own fantasy.(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.
