Main Quest - Furnace of Righteousness
|
To unlock the Encounter Local Lingo, you need to have finished Furnace of Righteousness, the last main quest in Chapter 2: Universal Furnace. Teleport to the Imperial Artisan Court via the Imperial Works Bureau Boundary Stone. The time must be set to the Shen hour. Cross the bridge and you will trigger the Encounter. Follow the marker to a house where Big Zhao and a crowd of people are.
Furnace of Righteousness Walkthrough

You can find Big Zhao in a small house teaching the Kaifeng dialect to a group of people. Talk to him and he will give you A Kaifeng Primer which you can read in your Bag. While the guide teaches the Kaifeng dialect, it is not a reference for Big Zhao's test.

Take Big Zhao's Kaifeng test. There are ten questions Big Zhao can ask, but he will only select five random questions for the test. This means that if you retake the test, the questions will vary. No matter your test results, the quest will end and you will receive the same rewards.
| 1 | Slide on the ground |
|---|---|
| 2 | Hold, lift up |
| 3 | Yesterday morning |
| 4 | Bully |
| 5 | Get scolded |
| 6 | Lie |
| 7 | Squat, crouch |
| 8 | Show off, flaunt |
| 9 | Powerful, a force to be reckoned with |
| 10 | *A Kaifeng curse word |
*Note: While Big Zhao responds positively to the question with “a Kaifeng curse word” and “a ball game”, “a Kaifeng curse word” is actually the correct answer.
| Hero Title | Condition | Test Score |
|---|---|---|
| Fluent Speaker | Get a perfect score on the test | 5/5 |
| Proficient Speaker | Get one mistake on the test | 4/5 |
| Conversational Speaker | Get two mistakes on the test | 3/5 |
Big Zhao does not despawn after you finish the quest, so you may retake his test to obtain all three Hero Titles: Fluent Speaker, Conversational Speaker, and Proficient Speaker. You need to get specific test scores to earn all three titles.
|
・Hero Title - Fluent Speaker
・Hero Title - Proficient Speaker ・Hero Title - Conversational Speaker ・A Kaifeng Primer ・Echo Jade x50 ・Kaifeng Exploration x50 ・Character EXP x10,000 ・Coins x10,000 |
These are all the rewards you can get by doing Local Lingo. The rewards listed above are the total earned as you progress through the quest and upon completing it.
