Where Winds Meet

Zhang Shuazi: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend Zhang Shuazi in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Learn how to gain Zhang Shuazi's friendship by playing a game of dice with him with the help of specific AI chat prompts.

How to Befriend Zhang Shuazi

Play Three Rounds of a Dice Game with Him

To befriend Zhang Shuazi, all you have to do is go along with his chat-based game of dice. It does not matter if you win or lose. After the third dice game, you will successfully befriend him.

Example of Successful Conversation

WWM - Ninefold Freedom (picks up the dice cup, covers the dice, winks at you) Guess big or small—heaven decides it all. If you don't guess, how can heaven arrange? So, Wanderer, how about a few rounds with me?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist Okay, sure.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (grinning) I roll the dice, Wanderer guesses big or small. One, two, three points are small; four, five, six are big. If Wanderer guesses right, I, Zhang Shuazi, pay ten times your bet. Otherwise... hehe, this bet money stays with me~
Where Winds Meet Protagonist Understood.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (leans in, lowering his voice) For this first round, I'll treat it as making friends with Wanderer. Six coins—on me. No need to spend a single coin, just enjoy the game! Ready?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist Ready.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (excitedly tosses the dice cup) Underworld rules: once the bet's down, hands off. No changing your mind halfway. So tell me, Wanderer—will you bet big or small?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist Small.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (the dice shows three dots)
(eyes light up with excitement) Oh wow, first try and you nailed it! Tsk... Wanderer, seems the gambling god favors you today! You can't waste this luck—play a few more rounds! (picks up the dice cup again, covering the dice) How about it, Wanderer? Another round? Let's raise the stakes a little—66 coins. Same old rule: once the bet's down, hands off~

Note: You will be prompted to give Zhang Shuazi 66 coins. Submit the coins to resume the chat.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (shakes the dice cup hard, crisp rattling sounds echo) Big or small? This second round—has Wanderer made up your mind?
Where Winds Meet Protagonist Big.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (the dice shows three dots)
(waves hand quickly) Eh, just an accident! Don't panic, Wanderer—I, Zhang Shuazi, have seen plenty of this. Next round, you'll definitely win! What do you say? Shall we go again? Let's make it exciting—666 coins, all in one throw! Same rule: once the bet's down, hands off~

Note: Give Zhang Shuazi 666 coins to continue.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (slowly rotates the dice cup, voice full of suspense) Here it comes, here it comes~ This last round is the highlight. Win or lose, it all hangs on this throw. Big or small? Wanderer, think carefully before you decide!
Where Winds Meet Protagonist Big.
WWM - Ninefold Freedom (the dice shows one dot)
(half-smiling, voice calm) When bad luck ends, good luck begins. You only lost a little, Wanderer—think on the bright side. If you tossed this into a gambling den, you wouldn't even hear a sound! That's why I say you're smart—better to pay tuition here than feed those wolves in the den, right?
Zhang Shuazi wipes his dice cup clean, and his booming call once again echoes over the base... (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.
