After good sleep, Archni gone to meet up with Yangyang and Chixia for breakfast at Panhua restaurant. As he gets seated, Chixia greeted the owner and starts ordering the food. "Mrs. Panhua, 'morning! Three bowls of extra spicy noodles, please!"

Archni: Did you say spicy noodles?

With food served and the three ate afterwards, Chixia then asks how Archni thinks

With food served and the three ate afterwards, Chixia then asks how Archni thinks. "What did I tell ya? Nothing beats a bowl of spicy noodles in the morning!"

Yangyang: What do you say, Rover?

Archni: I love it. Just the way that I like!

"Hmm. Looks like Baizhi's locked herself in the lab again, hasn't left since yesterday. Bet we won't see her til she's done with her research." Chixia says as she looked at her surroundings and to where the academy is. "No, wait. Since you're the subject of that research, we could use you as bait to lure her out. We can tie you up at the Academy's entrance..."

Chixia: And with just a few tugs of the rope, I bet every researcher will come running at you, with Baizhi leading the pack. Hook, line, and sinker!

"Hahaha. Let's not try that." Archni says with a blank face, of the idea Chixia came up making him felt not to be messed with.

Chixia: By the way. Now that we've figured out the sugar pearl and the sundial, all that's left is that weird leaf and run-of-the-mill mangosteen, right?
So it only took us one trip to the Academy to solve half of our problems. Either Rover's really smart, or Madam Magistrate was gonna make it easy for us to begin with.

Yangyang: What's our next plan of action, Rover?

Archni: Lets, look into the mangosteen first.

Chixia: As for the mangosteen, we've got people selling these at the market nearby. Might find some clues there.

Yangyang: Mangosteens are not from Jinzhou. These fruits are usually brought in by boat. Should we start from the harbor?

Archni: I say, let's leave the city.

Yangyang: Do you think the token is guiding us outside the city?

Archni: Maybe, maybe not. Madam Magistrate gave me an Access Pass for that.

Yangyang: The Access Pass may be another hint... There are usually no checkpoints set up in the city besides the City Hall. A pass isn't required unless you have to leave the city borders.

Chixia: Now why didn't I think of that? Gotta hand it to ya, Yangyang! And Rover who's Mr. VIP here.
It's a no-go for me if you're leaving the city, my shift's coming up. Protect Rover well and shoot me a message if you need anything, alright Yangyang?

Archni: Yangyang's safe with me. Don't worry.

Chixia: I believe in ya!

Yangyang: Without a doubt.
