===Go to Longevity Hall and inquire with Little Tian about the situation===
;(Approach Little Tian)
:Little Tian: Miss Qingque, you can't always come to me for a medical certificate. This is a pharmacy. We don't do diagnosis.
:Qingque: Little Tian, you always gave me a medical certificate before. You can't just turn off the tap now!
:Qingque: No, I've contracted an incurable disease. Little Tian, you have to save me. You're from the Alchemy Commission, right?
:Little Tian: Miss Qingque, you know how the Alchemy Commission is. If you've got an incurable disease, go and see them there!
:Qingque: The Alchemy Commission can't diagnose my disease, Little Tian. Can you help me pick out a little ailment that won't spill the beans for me?
:Little Tian: Just say that you're lazy, and you'll never have to reveal anything.
:Qingque: If I could use laziness as an excuse on a medical certificate, I would — but you know I can't.
:Little Tian: ...
:Little Tian: I've got a customer. Hold on a second.
:Qingque: Well, if it isn't (Trailblazer), my good .
:(Trailblazer): (Little Tian seems to be asking for help with her eyes...)
----
;(Talk to Qingque, optional)
:Qingque: Go ahead and see Little Tian first. I'm in no rush. I'll just wait here.
----
;(Talk to Little Tian)
:Little Tian: You're here! I heard that your guild is trying to port merchants onto the logistics platform... I was actually thinking of signing up, but only on one condition: Can you please help me handle this Qingque lady?
: I think I know what's going on here.
::Little Tian: That's great. Then it looks like we have a deal.
: These are two separate things. Don't mix them up.
::Little Tian: "Making a deal with the docks" and "getting Miss Qingque to give up her quest for a medical certificate" are now the same thing.
::Little Tian: Please, I'm desperate here.
:Little Tian: Don't worry. I'm not some lazy taskmaster. I know you need some evidence to refute her. Let's see what I have here.
===Collect all evidence required to refute Qingque (0/1)===
;(Investigate Longevity Hall)
:In the Longevity Hall, in addition to the strange medicinal ingredients, you find a few pieces of evidence that are quite convincing.

===Speak with Little Tian and organize the collected evidence===
;(Talk to Little Tian)
:Little Tian: What did you find? Let me have a look.... If these pieces of evidence can help, I'll try to assist you from the side.
: Pan-Cosmic Quick Diagnosis Booklet?
::Little Tian: Hmm... This one's rather old. Some notes I put together for myself. But with the recent massive influx of Outworlders, I'm seeing outbreaks of all kinds of things that I haven't seen before.
::Little Tian: Even with the pharmaceutical tech of the Alchemy Commission, you still have to find the right cure when treating people... So Outworlders can't just get medical prescriptions just because they want something. They need that prescription from the Alchemy Commission.
: Celestial Jade Techniques 101?
::Little Tian: ...Miss Qingque and I are game mates.
::Little Tian: But that's not why I gave her a medical certificate.
: A copy of medical certificate from last time?
::Little Tian: Miss Qingque came to get a medical certificate from me before for "Feebleitis." I'm actually not sure if it's a real thing. I just made up the name by looking through a few poetry books.
::Little Tian: But no good deed goes unpunished. The Alchemy Commission suspected I faked my medical qualification and told me to resit my alchemist exams. Well, it won't happen again. Making up a random name won't work.
: Collaboration Invitation from the IPC?
::Little Tian: ...Uh, that's all completely unrelated to Miss Qingque, though. As you know, IPC has sent invites to all guild merchants in Aurum Alley wishing to strike deals with all of them.
::Little Tian: The general idea is for me to transfer ownership rights of the store on to someone, and claim a nice fat transfer fee... But the IPC doesn't understand that having nothing to do is far worse than being poor for a long-life species, so the merchants haven't immediately flipped sides.
: I see. Leave it to me.
:Little Tian: I've seen your debating skills at the dock. The situation this time may not be as confrontational as back then, but it's no walk in the park either. Don't worry, this is my own issue, and I'll cooperate with you the best I can.
----
;(Subsequent interactions)
:Little Tian: And so I leave it in your hands.
===Speak with Qingque and convince her===
;(Talk to Qingque)
:Qingque: Hey, I know you're here to persuade me to give up my delusion so I can get back to work. But this time is different. I really need an excuse to ditch work.
:Qingque: The diviner in charge of scheduling made a mistake, and all the divinations ended up getting delayed. And knowing how angry the master diviner would be, with a swipe of the pen, that diviner tried to frame us with that workload...
:Qingque: According to the current plan, a month's work now has to be done in half a month. Every diviner at the Divination Commission has fallen victim to this "delayed workload"...
: I don't think this is your problem.
::Qingque: I agree that I shouldn't have to pay for other people's mistakes.
::Qingque: But, that diviner put it nicely — "We are a collective! Knuckle down, work hard, and there's nothing we can't get done!"
::Qingque: Anyway, she's just a supervisor and would never roll her sleeves up and get her hands dirty.
: You should go on strike! Stand up for yourselves!
::Qingque: If we do that, I won't even be able to draw a salary.
::Qingque: If I had the courage for that, what would I need to get a healer's note?
: Are you really going to ask for sick leave at a time like this?
::Qingque: The Divination Commission needs everyone in a crisis like this — except a sick Qingque!
;(All dialogue options lead to the following response)
: But a medical certificate can't beat everything.
:Qingque: I get what you mean. You think my job is useless.
:Qingque: How about this: I'll take a medical certificate, and you play the role of "sick leave auditor-diviner." C'mon, let's play it out.
:Qingque: If my excuse is watertight, then you've no right to stop me. But if my reason is deemed groundless...
: Then you can give up on the thought of taking leave.
: Come up with a better excuse!
:Qingque: Deal.
:Qingque: Hello there, I'm the custodian, Qingque, from the Divination Commission. I sincerely regret to inform you that I am feeling unwell due to contracting an "incurable disease," and must request a period of sick leave in which to rest and recuperate.
:Qingque: My symptoms include hair loss, headache in my arm, and a swelling liver, all of which severely impact my daily work duties. To avoid my condition worsening or infecting any other diviners, I should take active treatment measures.
:Qingque: I am requesting a leave of absence for the next ten days so that I may fully recuperate and return to work duties. I pledge to recover as soon as possible and will do my best to make up for lost progress once I return to work.
:Qingque: Thank you for your support and looking forward to your approval!
: This really is quite the bureaucratese.
::Qingque: Proficiency surrounding the language used when requesting leave is a basic skill for salary workers.
: Is that how you normally talk?
::Qingque: ...What, no! This is how I talk when I want to request sick leave.
:Qingque: Wait, I remember you turning that IPC representative inside out on the docks with your words. You're not going to do that to me, are you?
: The debate starts now!
::Qingque: Wait! Hold on! I just want to take some time off! There's no need to make this so complicated.
: I'll try to tone down my aggression.
::Qingque: We should relax and just keep this whole leave application process straight and simple.
: Then, let's simplify things.
::Qingque: Fine, fine, fine. No need to be so serious. If my excuses are really that shaky, just go easy on me a bit...
:Little Tian: I'll let you start it off, then.
:Qingque: Hello there, I'm the custodian, Qingque, from the Divination Commission. I sincerely regret to inform you that I am feeling unwell due to contracting an "incurable disease," and must request a period of sick leave in which to rest and recuperate.
: What is this "incurable disease"?
:Little Tian: Right, you said this disease is "incurable." How am I supposed to treat that?
:Qingque: Aren't I still waiting to get a medical certificate from Little Tian? Let me come up with a random name for my illness — what about "No-Game-No-Life Syndrome"?
:Qingque: Hello there, I'm the custodian, Qingque, from the Divination Commission. I sincerely regret to inform you that I am feeling unwell due to contracting the No-Game-No-Life Syndrome, and must request a period of sick leave during which to rest and recuperate.
:Little Tian: (Trailblazer), what do I do? I need to refute Miss Qingque's evidence...
;Submit 
::Little Tian: These are the notes I listed for my own convenience. I recorded a lot of strange and unheard-of ailments within them.
::Little Tian: But this quick diagnosis booklet doesn't have your "No-Game-No-Life Syndrome" listed!
::Qingque: Didn't you say these are your personal notes? Won't the problem be solved if you just add in my "No-Game-No-Life Syndrome"?
::Little Tian: I—I...
::Little Tian: I'm actually speechless... (Trailblazer), do we have any other evidence or anything?
;Submit 
::Little Tian: ...This is the Celestial Jade Techniques 101 that Miss Qingque gave me! It's evidence of her bribery.
::Little Tian: It's because I'm your game mate and have also "benefited" from our friendship that I had to give you this sick leave note!
::Qingque: Exactly! But when I take my absence, I won't tell anyone! That way, no one will notice a thing.
::Little Tian: I—I...
::Little Tian: ...(Trailblazer), Qingque has a point. The Celestial Jade Techniques 101 isn't actually that useful.
;Submit 
::Little Tian: This is the medical certificate that was used last time...
::Qingque: Yeah, yeah! This one! Just change my ailment to "No-Game-No-Life Syndrome" and everything will be fine? I mean, there are all sorts of weird conditions across the cosmos...
::Qingque: Little Tian, you just need to . Nobody's going to check up on that — provided it looks reasonable. That's how it went down last time.
::Little Tian: Making up an illness on the spot won't get you anywhere. The Alchemy Commission has sent someone after me before to check if the symptoms I listed are recorded in their medical texts.
::Qingque: What!? Don't tell me the Alchemy Commission turned out to be this thorough with all their work?
::Qingque: If that's so, then I don't want to get Little Tian in trouble... I'll have to come up with something else.
:Submit 
::Little Tian: The IPC had sent invites to almost all the stores in Aurum Alley, wishing to strike deals with us all. I'm still a bit hesitant...
::Little Tian: If the IPC manages to secure Aurum Alley, there may not be a Longevity Hall here anymore to give you sick leave notes.
::Qingque: (Trailblazer) won't let them succeed.
::Little Tian: Looks like this piece of evidence doesn't work either. Let's try something else.
===Speak with Little Tian===
:Mingxi arrives at Little Tian's invitation and was just in time to hear your "heated argument."
:Mingxi: I didn't expect to hear you "debating" here... As far as the verdict was concerned, you won, right?
: You'll have to ask Qingque.
: Fu Xuan the diviner will thank me.
:Qingque: I won't put Little Tian out anymore then, but I'll keep asking for leave. I'll go back and have another think about it.
:Mingxi: Little Tian just agreed to collaborate with the docks. (Trailblazer), please add Longevity Hall into the logistics plan. This way, the docks can get some new orders soon.
: Let's get the planning started.
: I love planning stuff. I wanna do it now!
;(Unlocked Merchant Collab: Longevity Hall)
;(Complete Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle: Logistics Planning)
:Little Tian: Actually before you came, (Trailblazer), I contacted Miss Secretary. Really sorry for not mentioning that to you.
:Little Tian: Our humble Longevity Hall really doesn't need any logistics. I just want to express my allegiance, that's all. I hope you and the Aurum Alley Merchant Guild can kick out those arrogant brutes from the IPC. Really show them who's the boss around here.
:Qingque: The merchants in Aurum Alley are enthusiastic. I thought everyone would be as laid back as Ruoyue about it.
:Qingque: I'll get going then, Little Tian. You keep working at it. You can do it. And afterward, let's play a few hands of celestial jade.
:Little Tian: Cool cool, I'll see you at the games table.
:Thanks to your aid, the Longevity Hall gradually increased its renown.
