Dialogue

(Investigate the refrigerator)

Refrigerator

This is your refrigerator. Theoretically speaking, it should be full of your snacks and drinks.

However, your Trailblazer instincts tell you that this is not the case...

(Open the fridge)

Just as you expected. Your poor snacks and drinks are mercilessly crushed into a corner, and the rest of the refrigerator is stacked to the brim with things you do not recognize.

A cup of goo with chopsticks sticking out of it. Half a bowl of Express Special covered in cling film. A piece of emerald green fabric... Wait, a piece of fabric???

Looks like your refrigerator is popular!

(Trailblazer): How could they stuff my refrigerator full like this? Who's been putting this stuff in here? Let me see!

(Inspect the refrigerator)

What are these things? You decide to investigate...

(Look at the goo with chopsticks sticking out)

There is elegant but slightly childish handwriting on the cup that reads: March 7th's homemade ice cream ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ)

(Trailblazer): Scatterbrain, why would you put home–made ice cream in the refrigerator section? It's supposed to go in the freezer, surely?

(Move it into the freezer for her)

You moved the cup into the freezer. Let's hope it tastes good when it's done!

(Drink it all)

You down the unfinished "ice cream" in one gulp. You have to admit, it was delicious.

(Return to previous options with this option removed)

(Look at the Express Special covered in cling film)

There is a note posted on the Express Special: I couldn't finish this last night. I thought I'd store it here for a little while. — Conductor

Why do you have to store it here... Does the kitchen not have a refrigerator?

(Leave it where it is)

Probably for the best. If it belongs to the Conductor, it's best to just leave it alone.

(Eat it all)

You devour the remaining half of the Express Special... What an amazing appetite you have!

(Trailblazer): Burp... So full...

(Return to previous options with this option removed)

(Look at the emerald green fabric)

There is a Xianzhou language note on the fabric written in bold, flowing calligraphy: Legacy Plant Dye experiment: #Nil–Nil–Four (low temperature cooling method). Using your refrigerator for a while, sorry.

(Trailblazer): Master Dan Heng, even YOU are sticking random stuff into my refrigerator? How could you?

(Inspect the fabric)

There is a color card sewn onto the fabric with the Xianzhou word for "emerald verde" written on it. It's probably the color that the fabric is supposed to be. Right now, the color of the fabric matches the color card perfectly.

It looks like it's reached the perfect "cooling" point. Why not take it out for him? You don't want his experiment to fail.

(Eat it all)

Wait, you can't eat that! ...Forget it, why try to hold you back? Trailblazers are the most uninhibited beings in the Cosmos.

You swallow the emerald verde fabric. Goodness knows how you did it.

(Trailblazer): *burp* Tasty.

(Return to previous options with this option removed)

(After all options have been selected)

(Trailblazer): Well, that's that taken care of. Now... it's time to enforce some rules on this refrigerator!

Maybe later...

(Trailblazer): Forget it. I'm not in the mood to deal with all of that.

Forget it...

(Trailblazer): Forget it. What you don't know can't hurt you...

(Subsequent interactions, if the refrigerator was opened)

(Trailblazer): Let's see what they've stuffed this refrigerator full of, shall we?

(Inspect the refrigerator)

(Continues to above dialogue)

Maybe later.

(Trailblazer): Forget it. I'm not in the mood to deal with all of that.

(Investigate the fridge again)

Refrigerator

(Trailblazer): I'll write a note to stick on this refrigerator... Regarding how it is to be used in the future...

Please continue to use this as you please.

(Trailblazer): Why not let them keep using it as they want. We're all family here, and there's no need for petty squabbles.

Set a period of time when people can use the refrigerator.

(Trailblazer): You are all free to use my refrigerator, but I need to set specific times for each person. If we keep stuffing it full like that, no one will be able to use it properly.

It's time to start charging money.

(Trailblazer): There's a saying that goes, "don't mix family and business." If you use my fridge, prepare to fork out money for it. Heh heh~

(Trailblazer): Alright, these are the rules from now on!

You place the New Refrigerator Use Guidelines notice on the refrigerator.

(Trailblazer): Maybe if you check tomorrow, people will have written replies to this.

---

(Next day, check the fridge again)

As you walk past the refrigerator, you notice a note attached to it.

(Read the note)

(If the player allowed unrestricted fridge use, receive Neatly Written Note)

Neatly Written Note

• Ate the ice cream
• Did not eat the ice cream

How! Dare! You! Drink! My! Ice! Cream!!!
It's my fault for using your refrigerator without telling you, but you shouldn't devour it in one gulp! At least leave some for me (,,Ծ‸Ծ,,)
But what about it? It must taste good, right? That's me alright~
I made another one for you. It definitely tastes better than popsicle water <(￣︶￣)>

Thanks for putting the ice cream in the freezer for me! I was researching its recipe the other day and accidentally pulled an all-nighter. In the end, I was so drowsy that I put it in the fridge(/ﾟДﾟ)/
If it weren't for your help, my food creation would have failed! Thanks a lot~
I made a few more ice creams while the iron was hot (the ice creams don't seem hot). I'll share one with you as a thank-you gift (●′ω`●)

• Ate the Express Special
• Did not eat the Express Special

Also, Pom-Pom has a message for you: It's the Conductor's fault for using your refrigerator without asking you, but you've got a huge appetite! Don't overeat and take care of your health.

Also, Pom-Pom has a message for you: There's just no room for this bowl of leftovers since the kitchen refrigerator is stuffed with ingredients. Many thanks to Passenger (Trailblazer) for the help in keeping it stored.

• Ate the fabric
• Did not eat the fabric

P.S. Although you ate Dan Heng's experiments, he wasn't angry with you. He was just very curious as to how on earth you did it.
I'm curious too!

P.S. Dan Heng's coloring experiment was also a success. He said it was due to your timely taking out of the materials from the refrigerator.
You're literally the chosen experiment assistant!

As you open the refrigerator, you see an ice cream inside. This must be a thank-you gift from March 7th.

(Obtain Hundred-Layer Sundae (Zero Calories) ×1)

(If the player set time for fridge use, receive Flowing Calligraphic Note)

Flowing Calligraphic Note

I saw the usage guidelines you set for the refrigerator. Very reasonable.

• Ate the fabric
• Did not eat the fabric

First of all, I just want to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used your refrigerator without your consent. I totally get that you were angry with me and therefore ate my experiments.
But I still have two things to say about this:
First, although all the materials for plant colorings in the old way are harmless, they are not food after all, so please do not eat them next time.
Second, the quality of that cloth is very good. How on earth did you swallow it? Please tell me about it when you are available.
I leave some small gifts in your refrigerator as apologies.

Recently, I've become interested in the coloring methods of the Xianzhou Primeval Imperium Era, and I'm doing experiments on them. I apologize for using your refrigerator without asking you.
Thank you for taking out the experiments for me. If it had been refrigerated longer, there might have been a color difference.
I leave some small gifts in your refrigerator as thanks.

• Ate the ice cream
• Did not eat the ice cream

In addition, March 7th wants to ask you: How does the ice cream soup taste? If it's good, she might be able to develop a milkshake based on it.

Also, March 7th is very grateful to you. If it weren't for your help, she wouldn't have been able to make the ice cream. I tasted the finished ones and they are really good.

• Ate the Express Special
• Did not eat the Express Special

Finally, I can't help but remind you: Don't eat so much of Express Special in one go. That's not good for your stomach.

By the way, we're having yesterday's Express Special leftovers for today's dinner.
The Conductor is glad that this bowl of Express Special in your refrigerator didn't get eaten by you, unexpected though that is.

As you open the refrigerator, you see a plate of vegetables inside. This must be a thank-you gift from Dan Heng.

(Obtain Signature Chili Oil Beef Offal Stew ×1)

(If the player started charging money for fridge use, receive Printed Note)

Printed Note

(Trailblazer), I can't believe you've already learned how to make money out of the refrigerator. I don't know if I should be concerned or impressed...

• Ate the Express Special
• Did not eat the Express Special

And! Aren't you just eating up the Express Special!? If everyone pays you the refrigerator use fees, you have to take the responsibility for keeping the stuff in your refrigerator properly.
However, having everyone pay the refrigerator use fees is a good idea, and Pom-Pom would like to encourage you. So, according to your new rules, Pom-Pom has paid the Storage Fee for the Express Special. I hope you don't waste it.

But the Conductor is glad about one thing: You didn't touch the Express Special in your refrigerator at all.
Pom-Pom paid the "storage fee" for the Express Special, per your new "rules." I hope you don't waste it.

• Ate the fabric
• Did not eat the fabric

Passenger Dan Heng's share of this Storage Fee is also included. He believes that you must be very angry about our using your refrigerator without telling you, otherwise you wouldn't have eaten a piece of cloth.
But even if you're mad, don't eat anything you're not supposed to!

This Storage Fee also includes Passenger Dan Heng's share. He is grateful to you for looking after his cloth.
Passenger Dan Heng said that if this ancient method plant coloring experiment is successful, maybe it can even be used to make a new outfit for Pom-Pom~
I'm looking forward to it!

• Ate the ice cream
• Did not eat the ice cream

Below the note is a small, handwritten line, delicate but slightly childish:
penny pincher (‾^‾) hmph!

Pom-Pom also heard that you put Passenger March 7th's ice cream in the freezer. Without your help, her attempt to make ice cream would have failed.
Heh-heh, looks like she's the one who should be paying you in the first place.

As you open the refrigerator, you see... a piece of paper with a digital code to redeem credits? Why would the Conductor put this gift inside the refrigerator?

(Obtain Credit ×1888)

Check later...

(Trailblazer): There's no rush. It's not like the note is going to go running off on its own.
