Where Winds Meet

An Lingrong: How to Befriend in AI Chat

Add to Watchlist

This is a guide on how to befriend An Lingrong in the AI Chat menu in Where Winds Meet. Convince her to leave her exploitative job with a list of specific AI Chat prompts.

How to Befriend An Lingrong

Let Her Vent Her Troubles and Convince Her To Leave Her Job

An Lingrong talks about how her current job is overworking everyone and not giving them their rightful compensation. Reassure her that she did nothing wrong and that she might need to look for a new job instead to successfully befriend her.

Example of Successful Conversation

An Lingrong (clearing her throat weakly) Cough... cough... my throat... what happened to my voice? I should have known better than to argue with leader Da Ju... perhaps I never deserved better in the first place...
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistAre you okay? What happened?
An Lingrong (calm, eyes dim) Do you know who taught me how to wash the camels like this? It was a senior in the caravan, someone the leader once favored greatly. To help him secure his position, she worked late into the night everyday, straining her eyes until she lost her old sharpness. Later, the leader hired cheaper hands instead. When she turned thirty-five, with no schemes and nowhere to protect herself, she lost out at every turn—and in the end, he wouldn't even offer her any compensation.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistWhat happened next?
An Lingrong (tears slipping down) After I passed the assessment, supervisor Yi Sou was harsh, and leader Da Ju was deep and calculating. Even colleagues dared to push me around. I was so afraid. Every night I have dreams that I'll end up just like that senior—worn down, frail, and trampled by everyone. The nights in Liangzhou are so cold, so long... I don't even dare think about how each moment was endured.
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistThis seems unhealthy for you. Have you considered looking for a new job?
An Lingrong (quietly wiping her eyes) Truthfully, I'm only unwilling—unwilling that after all these years of study, I ended up washing camels and shoveling their waste. Yet I have no choice but to work overtime, to resent the leader, to resent everyone who treats me like something expendable. How could I not know my colleagues don't truly help me? How could I not know the leader has never truly treated me with sincerity?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYou don't deserve this treatment. Maybe you should consider leaving.
An Lingrong (sighs softly) But in a caravan like this, where is there any sincerity at all? In the end, the one I resent most is myself—because when it comes down to it, I don't dare do anything. Wanderer... what should I do? Was I wrong, or was this work never worth taking in the first place?
Where Winds Meet ProtagonistYou weren't wrong, you worked tirelessly and truthfully. This work was never worth taking in the first place.
An Lingrong (lost in thought) So this work of mine truly isn't worth it... I want to leave the caravan and see what lies beyond.

An Lingrong thanks you and lowers her head in thought. However, it seems she still has something on her mind? (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.
