How strange... The coordinates match perfectly, but I still can't find it...
?
???
Ugh, I'm so close to the final step... I can't give up now!
?

*Gasp* You scared me!

Wait, I know you! You're the Endministrator of Endfield!

My name's Bao, and I'm a Tianshi. I'm not here to steal anything...
B
Bao
Actually, I'm searching for a treasure left by my grandpa!
B
Bao
*Sigh* Yeah, I'm stuck at the very last step.
B
Bao
This place was a temporary depot set up by HAS when the Tianshi first arrived. It's called Tianjing Courtyard. My grandpa used to work here.
B
Bao
And with his dying breath, he told me a secret ... that he left a precious treasure here!
B
Bao
So I followed his treasure map all the way to this very spot...
B
Bao
Now I'm at the last marker, but all I see is this huge pond!
B
Bao
What? How did I not think of that... Thanks for the enlightenment!
B
Bao
The depot was most likely built underground. But over the years, it got flooded and ended up as nothing but a waste of a pond?
B
Bao
But now here's another problem ... I've never learned how to hold my breath underwater. How am I supposed to dive into this pond?
B
Bao
Whoa! That's gonna save me big time!
B
Bao
Endministrator, since you're so awesome ... whatever the treasure turns out to be, I promise a big reward!
B
Bao
My grandpa said the longer it sits, the more valuable it gets! I'm betting it's some kind of fancy antique. Maybe I'll be rich soon!

B
Bao
So, Endmin, what's it say? Any actual treasure?
B
Bao
Du Qusheng is my grandpa!
B
Bao
Okay... I get what he meant by "the longer it sits, the more valuable it gets"... I was really hoping for some priceless gem!
B
Bao
Fair enough... Grandpa loved his brews, and he even taught me how to tell them apart back then...
B
Bao
I might not have gotten wealthy, but I did fulfill my dream of finding Grandpa's treasure!
B
Bao
Thank you, Endministrator.

B
Bao
I'm sure the treasure's behind this gate! But how do we get it open...
B
Bao
Gotta be linked to these three mechanisms by the gate... Let me see what hints this treasure map's hiding...
B
Bao
Looks like we'll need three keys to activate these mechanisms.
B
Bao
Let's go find them, Endmin!
B
Bao
These three "keys" are scattered across the underground first, second, and third levels.
B
Bao
Aha! There it is!

B
Bao
Found it! The first key to activate the gate mechanism! Just two more to go!
