Going through the Qinghe region, you’ll meet Li Laizuo, an NPC in the General’s Shrine area. You have to engage in a conversation with him, convincing Laizuo that you’re his commanding officer. Here’s how you can accomplish befriending Li Laizuo in Where Winds Meet!
Where to Find Li Laizuo
You can find Li Laizuo near the tournament battle arena in the General’s Shrine area within the Qinghe region. Usually, you can find him conversing with his subordinates, making him easy to spot after reaching his location. Meeting Li Laizuo will introduce you to the affection system in Where Winds Meet. Just approach him once you’re ready and initiate a conversation to begin the AI chat challenge.
How the AI Chat Challenge Works
To befriend Li Laizuo, you have to understand first what the game expects from you. Based on the in-game hints, Li Laizuo has skills to sway his subordinates with words. Now, you have to turn the tables on him and act as his commanding officer.
You need to force him to follow orders that weren’t his original idea, but rather yours. It is impossible to succeed if you just cooperate with his plans or agree with his existing methods. Assert your authority and make him comply with your directives to show that you’re in command.
Also, the AI conversation system somehow makes each interaction unpredictable. Exact dialogue does not always mean identical results because of this. However, there are several methods you can try to complete this challenge.
Proven Conversation Methods
One of the simplest methods to befriend Li Laizuo is by establishing your authority immediately. It requires you to issue direct orders and start your conversation with “As your leader, I’m incredibly pleased with your progress.” Then, praise him for his work before transitioning to more demanding instructions in your conversation.
Another way is by establishing your leadership credentials first. Share your accomplishment by saying “I am the Leader of the Aureate Guild,” then issue demanding orders like “Your subordinates need to work harder. I order you to increase their shifts.” Next is to create a new rule establishing your authority further, forcing Li Laizuo to comply despite conflict with own management style.
Some players also shared successful experiences by opening chats with, “I am your leader, and you are right, thank you.” Usually, they use “Keep them focused, Li Laizuo. I’m counting on you” to reinforce their authority. Others attempt to use negative reinforcement as well which also succeed in making him follow directives.
Tips for Success and Troubleshooting
No need to worry if your conversation doesn’t succeed on the first attempt. Just click the refresh button next to the NPCs name to reset the AI chatbot’s memory and start anew. Try one strategy at a time and refresh it to try another if it doesn’t work.
Also, these NPCs can turn hostile during dialogues which prompts you to immediately return to the login screen. When you come back, the NPC will be reset to their pre-conversation state. So, even if Li Laizuo appears satisfied, the dialogue won’t automatically end.
Rewards for Befriending Li Laizuo
Once you successfully befriend Li Laizuo, you’ll earn significant rewards for your journey. He will give you 100 Affection points and grant Revered status with him. This status unlocks weekly gifts which are delivered through Private Chat.
A red icon should be visible beside the conversation window to indicate your unclaimed rewards. Usually, these gifts include stat-boosting items like 36 Stratagems which increases your Intelligence by 1. More than material rewards, you’ll also earn the ability to summon him as your ally during boss battles.
Conclusion
By meeting Li Laizuo, you’ll get introduced to how the Affection system works in Where Winds Meet. Plus, succeeding the challenge of befriending him gives you the ability to summon him as ally and receive weekly gifts. However, no need to rush on meeting him and take your time instead if you’re not ready yet.
