In the land of Jiangcheng, a place filled with opportunities and challenges, as you embark on your entrepreneurial journey, many characters with diverse personalities and rich backgrounds make their appearances, providing a wide range of options for you to pursue. Therefore, in this guide to the characters in Jiangcheng Entrepreneurial Tales, we will introduce a few NPCs that I recommend today. If you are looking to find suitable characters to pursue in the game, be sure to choose companion skills that align with your development path.
Let's start with Xu Changkong, a mysterious figure in Jiangcheng. Your first encounter with him is on the 8th day of summer in the first year. As night falls over Jiangcheng, a letter from Xu Changkong will quietly arrive in your hands, possibly containing some mysterious clues and task hints. During the specific time period from 11 PM to 1 AM, if you go to Xu Changkong's room, you will find what appears to be an ordinary box. After submitting the required items, you can earn 800 coins. Xu Changkong's companion skill is "Skillful Hands," which, once obtained, allows you to produce one additional item when engaging in handcrafting. This is a powerful boost for those involved in handcrafting industries. The best time to find Xu Changkong is in the middle of the night, as he is more active then. However, it should be noted that on rainy or snowy days, unless he has made plans to go out with friends, he will stay indoors all day. In terms of gift-giving, Xu Changkong has a fondness for exquisite items such as watches, steel cores, purified silicon, and collector rings.
Next, let's talk about Xu Changting. This character appears under specific conditions. After completing the two important tasks of repairing the Weibei Bridge and the resource detector, Xu Changting will appear at the workshop door on the second day. He will ask the player to help fetch a sachet from Aunt Xiang in Crane Village. Xu Changting's companion skill is "Enlightenment," which, once triggered, increases your insight by 20 points. When Xu Changting is playing chess on the second floor of the Chess Society or at home, players have the opportunity to play chess with him. During this process, every half hour spent playing chess will increase your insight by 1 point, but there are only 2 such opportunities per week. In terms of gift-giving, Xu Changting has a preference for delicious food and exquisite items, such as Five Delicacies Stew, Snowy Glow Soup, Pure Meditation Beads, and Astonishing Painted Fan, which can all increase his affection towards you.
Zhao Liyan is another highly recommended NPC to pursue in the game. On the 19th day of spring in the first year, Hongxian will send a letter. After reading this letter, you will receive a special task. Carefully delivering the required item to Liyan will trigger an exciting storyline. Zhao Liyan's companion skill is very practical; during crystal energy production, there is an 8% chance of doubling the output. Additionally, when Liyan is playing the zither on the second floor, players can interact with her, and listening to her play will increase your insight by 1 point. There are also 2 such opportunities per week. However, it should be noted that after Liyan recovers from her illness, if you want to enjoy her zither music again, you need to enter the library before 8 PM and wait patiently for her to return home and play. After marriage, Liyan's zither will temporarily be in a damaged state until the 12-heart event is completed. Then, on clear Thursdays, she will play the zither again at the Yingxue Library. In terms of gift-giving, Zhao Liyan has a preference for exquisite materials and delicious food, such as fine leather, Lingwen Double Bat Buckle, Fanmang Leather, and Lychee Shrimp Balls.
There is also Xiao Yu, the owner of a private residence in the northern part of Jiangcheng. According to rumors in Jiangcheng, he is the illegitimate child of a high-ranking official, making him even more intriguing. Xiao Yu has a unique preference for tea, whether it’s at the scenic Linfeng Terrace in his residence, in the bamboo forest, or in the main hall, he enjoys savoring tea. In terms of gift-giving, Xiao Yu has a fondness for precious items such as Powerful Fire Cicada, Light Body Amber, Red Blood Coral, and Pursuing Mulberry Reishi, which can all increase his affection towards you.
Lastly, there is A Tan, the co-owner of Wangzhu Clothing Shop, a mysterious beauty from Xijin. Except for Sundays, A Tan follows a regular daily routine. She wakes up punctually at 10 AM at the Wangzhu Clothing Shop and returns to her room at 11 PM, ending her busy day. Due to her regular schedule, it is relatively easy to find this NPC. A Tan's post-marriage skill is "Prosperity," which, once obtained, increases the selling price of goods by 10%. This is a significant boost for those in business. In terms of gift-giving, A Tan has a preference for exquisite items and specialty foods, such as fine silk thread, Zhe Dongfeng, Roujiamo (meat sandwich), and bronze mirrors, which are all items she likes.
The above is the content of the Jiangcheng Entrepreneurial Tales character guide. The NPCs introduced today are all available for you to pursue. Of course, while pursuing these characters, remember to find the items they like in the game, as more items will bring higher affection levels.
