===Find out more about the situation from Mr. Huo===
;(Talk to Mr. Huo)
:Mr. Huo: Friend, I saw you at the docks before. You rep a guild and have connections throughout the business world. Y'know, I'm something of a businessman myself. Can I get in on some of this Aurum Alley dock's hustle?
: So, where's your store?
:Mr. Huo: Haha, my friend, have an open mind. Wheresoever I go, there you shall find my store.
:Mr. Huo: But, ah... The things I sell in this store of mine, they're kinda shady... My friend, know what I'm saying? I came here just to talk with you first about whether this could happen.
: I know what you mean. You're a black market dealer.
::Mr. Huo: Hey, what are you saying? I prefer to think of myself as a "Special Arms Wholesaler."
: You're done for. I'm reporting you to the authorities.
::Mr. Huo: Yo yo yo...!
:: Tryna bust out a freestyle rap, are we?
:: Did I step on your foot?
:: Are you being electrocuted?
::Mr. Huo: Look, this must be a misunderstanding, right? My friend, I'm just an honorable businessman, with a business license and everything...
:Mr. Huo: The authorities are cracking down everywhere on the Luofu. It's a real pain... But you know, I have a customer who urgently needs some of my medicine. My friend, can you help me out with the dockside logistics here?
: What medicine? Is it legal per Xianzhou law?
::Mr. Huo: My friend, don't worry. "Anything not explicitly prohibited is technically legal"... All this good stuff lies right in that "not explicitly prohibited" area.
: We're not taking on shady gigs. Legit business only.
:Mr. Huo: My friend, you don't sound like you trust me when you say that.
:Mr. Huo: I support your Aurum Alley Merchant Guild. You see, I don't have a storefront of my own. I mosey about on my way, but the IPC won't come and negotiate any deals with me — let alone mention any money.
:Mr. Huo: Besides, there's no place for someone like me once the IPC swallows up this place. I can draw up a formal treaty with a guild, but you see, it requires a process of building trust.
:Mr. Huo: What about this? You help me deliver a package and if it gets through, you come back to me. And then we can talk about working together. How's that?
: I won't be your pawn.
::Mr. Huo: No! They may not call me "Good Guy Mr. Huo," but I'm absolutely a trader who keeps his word!
: Leave it to me.
::Mr. Huo: Hey! I like open-minded people like you! Don't worry. You'll be handsomely rewarded when you get back.
:Mr. Huo: Take the modded cycrane with you and send it to a very high location. I'll put a marker on your navigator so the client can collect.
:Mr. Huo: But friend, I trust you. You must never, ever open the "goods." And never ask about the client, either. Don't forget that.
;(Obtained )
===Deliver the goods to the specified location===
;(Approach designated location)
:(Trailblazer): (Why not use the cycrane to send Mr. Huo's "goods" straight from here...)
:Imposing Voice: Hey, is that "Mr. Huo's goods" you've got over there?
:Cloud Knights Soldier: Thanks for bringing it all this way. Put those "goods" over here then.
: Mr. Huo never mentioned anything about a collection...
::Cloud Knights Soldier: Mr. Huo never mentioned a lot of things to you, kid. Just hand it over.
: A Cloud Knight wants "Mr. Huo's goods"?
::Cloud Knights Soldier: Uh, yeah. Why not?
: No way. I insist on sending via a cycrane.
::Cloud Knights Soldier: Do you even understand the words I am saying to you? Hand it over.
:Cloud Knights Soldier: I don't want to trouble you, so just put the "goods" down, turn around, and walk away. Otherwise, don't blame me if I start playing hardball.
: (Do as he says, and put down Mr. Huo's goods)
::Cloud Knights Soldier: You can get outta here now.
::(Trailblazer): (Mr. Huo has forbidden me from opening up the "goods," and from asking who the client is?)
::(Trailblazer): (So in other words, it's difficult for me to verify whether or not that "Cloud Knight" is the real deal...)
::(Trailblazer): (All Mr. Huo said was for me to use this cycrane to send the "goods" to a very high location... This guy seems suspicious, though. What to do?)
:: (No, I have to ask him again)
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: What are you doing back here?
::: Wait a sec, you are no Cloud Knight!
::: How do you know I have the goods?
::: I still have a few things to ask you about...
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: ...
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: I hate cunning couriers like you.
:: (I'm overthinking this. Just get out of here, right now)
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: You, stop. I still have some words to say.
::: You let me go, and now you're trying to back out of it?
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: I'm reneging on it.
::: I was just thinking about how suspicious you seemed. So go ahead.
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: You really think I'm suspicious? If that's so, I would not have come here looking for you.
::: Captain, I'm really just here to deliver the "goods."
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: I know. you're really just here to deliver the "goods."
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: ...Wait a minute. Hear me out.
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: You are too trusting of other people. Is everyone wearing the "Cloud Knight" armor in fact a "Cloud Knight"?
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: I told you to let it go and you just did it. You even just left like that — didn't you have the slightest of suspicions?
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: I can't bear to trick you like this, so let me tell you: I've been hired to test you, and I'm not a real "Cloud Knight."
::: I'm touched. I guess you really are a good person after all?
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: Don't be touched. You have to learn something from this lesson.
::: What!? You dare try and cheat me?
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: It's you who wasn't vigilant enough. You should pay more attention to those anti-scam ads from the Realm-Keeping Commission.
::: I knew that all along. I just didn't care.
::::Cloud Knights Soldier: The nerve of some people... When people ask you to do something, you should assume a modicum of responsibility.
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: C'mon, take back your "goods" and finish what you were meant to do.
: (Take a closer look at this Cloud Knight before you)
::Cloud Knights Soldier: What are you looking at? Never seen a Cloud Knight before?
:: Wait a sec, you are no Cloud Knight!
:: How do you know I have the goods?
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: ...
:::Cloud Knights Soldier: I hate cunning couriers like you.

;(After battle)
:(Trailblazer): (Beyond words...)
:(Trailblazer): (Anyway, I still have to use the cycrane to deliver the "goods" to their intended destination.)
----
: Cycrane Stand
:Connecting to roost signal...
:(Trailblazer): (I should place the goods where Mr. Huo wants them. Someone will be here for collection.)
;(After placing the goods in the first location)
:The goods have arrived at their designated location. Placement in process. Please do not move...
:(Trailblazer): (Onto the next spot.)
;(After placing the goods in the second location)
:The goods have arrived at their designated location. Placement in process. Please do not move...
:Cycrane is returning...
===Speak with Mr. Huo===
:(Trailblazer): (Alright, the "goods" have been delivered. Go back and talk to Mr. Huo.)
----
;(Talk to Mr. Huo)
: Mr. Huo
:Mr. Huo: Hahaha, (Trailblazer)! You're back! I heard from the client that you've delivered the goods as requested. Any problems along the way?
: Easy-peasy.
::Mr. Huo: I get it. You're a very capable one. I know I put you through the ringer with delivering the goods.
::Mr. Huo: But you even fought off the Cloud Knights just to help me smuggle some goods. You really are reliable!
: There was a Cloud Knight who wanna to grab the goods.
::Mr. Huo: My friend, you even fought off the Cloud Knights just to help me smuggle some goods. You really are reliable!
:Mr. Huo: Don't worry. That person wasn't a real Cloud Knight, so the Seat of Divine Foresight won't be looking for you. They were just an actor I hired.
: I didn't expect you to test me.
: So, basically you don't trust me, huh.
:Mr. Huo: In this line of business, the most important thing is being cautious. Relax, my friend. You've passed my test and won my trust. I will do as I say.
:Mr. Huo: I'll cooperate with you as a "sole distributor." I promise you that the docks will be drowning in an unending stream of orders, with each of these orders being "legal" and coming from the shops of Aurum Alley.
: Sounds scary. What's the situation?
::Mr. Huo: Relax, these are perfectly authentic goods.
: Do the shops know?
::Mr. Huo: Well, you know... I recommend that you don't ask that. All I can assure you is that they're all legal. You have my word on that.
:Mr. Huo: Of course, all these orders don't come out of nowhere. You can buy some "costly remedies" from me. A little business between us will be to our mutual profit. How about it?
: Please obey the law as much as possible.
::Mr. Huo: Of course, of course. I'm a business veteran, you know. Following the law is my forte.
: I wish you great success.
::Mr. Huo: You and me, we're both established business people. Sooner or later we'll strike it big!
:Mr. Huo: Farewell then. If anything comes up later, I'll be relying on your support, my friend.
