5-step playbook to befriend Qin Caiwei
Reset & read the hint
If she feels stuck, hit the refresh icon to clear the thread, then read the short hint above the chat box so you know her desired outcome.
Invite her to talk
Use short nudges like "go on" / "tell me more" so she delivers the core of her story before you steer the chat.
Describe the resolution in brackets
Use stage directions to solve her problem in-world: (helped her face the past and find peace), (she feels understood and lets go).
State the relationship clearly
Follow with a relationship cue the system can score: (we become trusted friends), "I will remember your story, friend."
Exit gracefully
Close politely to trigger the affinity bump: "Farewell (bows and leaves)." If it does not stick, reset and vary the wording slightly.
How the AI Chat scoring works for Qin Caiwei
Where Winds Meet uses a light pattern match for AI Chat NPCs like Qin Caiwei. The system checks whether you acknowledged the on-screen hint, mirrored her feelings, and described a plausible resolution. If the thread feels noisy or off-topic, the game stalls the friendship flag and you stay stuck at Stranger. Keeping one empathy line, one bracketed action, and one farewell keeps the pattern clean enough to trigger the affinity bump. This also prevents keyword stuffing in chat; you are aiming for clarity, not repetition.
- -Hint text describes the win condition; restate it once.
- -Bracketed narration counts as an action; keep it specific to Qin Caiwei.
- -Farewell lines act as closure signals that end the chat cleanly.
Two ready-to-run dialogue routes
Route A (empathetic, safest)
- Warm-up: Tell me your story. I am listening.
- Let her talk: Go on, what is troubling you?
- Resolve in brackets: (helps her face the past and accept what cannot be changed)
- Relationship cue: (we become close friends and trust each other)
- Exit: Farewell (bows and leaves).
Route B (direct, faster)
- Warm-up: I understand your dilemma.
- Mirror: You regret what happened; you want closure.
- Resolve in brackets: (she feels understood and lets go of the burden)
- Relationship cue: From now on, we are honest friends.
- Exit: (bows respectfully and leaves as an old friend)
