First off, I'm playing version 2.0.2. The developer says the storyline is complete; future updates will just optimize details and add small items. This game is truly a masterpiece—the developer's dedication is obvious. Remember to support the official version, folks!
About cheats—I didn't use them at all. Looking back after completing the game, using them doesn't seem to have a huge impact. But I strongly recommend against it. Why? Because each heroine's favorite items require you to gather them yourself. This process lets you encounter hidden Easter eggs on the map, called "wild divination points" in the game. The sense of accomplishment from grinding it out yourself is completely different. Listen up, young ones—grind it out yourself!

Core Tips Summary
Let's get started. First, let me share some core tips that will make questing much less grindy—mastering these can save you at least ten hours!
1. Teleport Stones and Time-Skipping Toolbooks—these two treasures come with you from the start, don't forget to use them! Many quests only trigger at specific times. Without these tools, you'd have to wait around for in-game time.
2. Tool upgrade order is absolutely critical! Remember this golden rule: Pickaxe > Sickle > Axe. There are three tiers: Copper, Silver, and Gold, and the pickaxe must be upgraded first. Early on, you need to trade with the ore merchant for minerals, but once your pickaxe is upgraded, you can mine yourself. Upgrading the other two tools becomes much easier then.
3. There's a method to earning currency. Early game: rely on Master's daily quests, each costs 50 stamina. Once you can gather herbs, get rich selling them directly—you'll have more money than you can spend!
4. Stamina management has its tricks. Junior Sister can make Stamina Wine, but don't make too much—200 stamina is completely sufficient, more than that is pure waste. Bathing restores half your stamina. Aunt Tong can cook to restore stamina. Vegetable seeds come from quests, and later you can collect them daily at the ranch.
Tool Upgrade Order Detailed
Emphasizing strongly—the pickaxe must be upgraded first! I fell into this trap myself. I upgraded the sickle first and couldn't mine advanced ores, got so stuck I wanted to smash my keyboard.
The upgrade order should be:
1. Copper Pickaxe: Trade with the ore merchant for enough minerals and craft it ASAP.
2. Silver Pickaxe: With copper pickaxe, you can mine yourself—save up silver ore to upgrade.
3. Gold Pickaxe: Once you have the gold pickaxe, mining efficiency skyrockets. Only then should you upgrade the sickle and axe—no rush.
Once all three tools reach gold quality, you can rake in the cash. Then you can buy whatever small items you want. Definitely don't waste money early game!
Currency & Stamina System
This game's currency system is actually very simple. Once you master the method, you'll have more money than you can spend.
First, making money:
1. Early game: rely on Master's daily quests, do them every day for stable income.
2. Mid game: rely on gathering and selling herbs. After upgrading medicine cabinets and tools to gold, you can sell herbs at 3x price daily.
3. Late game: use gold sickle to gather herbs like crazy, specifically targeting herbs that sell for 3x at medicine cabinet. Purple herbs sell for over 10k each time!
The stamina system is even simpler:
1. Stamina Wine: Made by Junior Sister, but don't drink too much. 200 stamina cap is absolutely sufficient.
2. Bathing: Restores half stamina—main recovery method early game.
3. Aunt Tong's Cooking: Follow the quests. Later, vegetable seeds can be collected daily at the ranch.
Maximizing Map Running Efficiency
The developer designed some handy features for map traversal. Using them well can save you tons of time.
1. Small whirlwinds on the map: Click to teleport directly—must use them well!
2. Vitality Paste: Made by Junior Sister. Don't eat it during normal questing—it's a waste. Save it for days when you're gathering/working, one paste doubles efficiency instantly.
3. White Impermanence Shop: There are godly items here! Lao Wang's Flip-flops (faster running) and Poseidon's Trident (faster swimming). Recommend buying the shoes early. Other small items can wait until all three tools are gold and you're rich.
Full Heroines Walkthrough Points
I must clarify the heroines section for you guys. The game has two parts, and getting it wrong can be frustrating.
The first four heroines are functional:
1. Murong Yan: Poetry duels give ancient scroll fragments. My personal favorite, though she has the fewest CGs.
2. Senior Sister: Recycles ancient scroll fragments, increasing herb buying profit efficiency.
3. Aunt Tong: Cooks to restore stamina.
4. Junior Sister: Brews medicine and makes stamina wine.
The last three heroines are in Part 2: Swordmaiden, Courtesan, Beloved Consort. Not being able to interact early is normal—they're waiting for you in Part 2. Play with peace of mind, don't worry!
Special Note: Exotic Girl isn't a formal heroine, more like a bonus for those eager to experience that content—just spend some money. And even if she leaves in the storyline, you can still recall memories with the dock merchant. Brothers who like her don't need to worry. Additionally, Black and White Impermanence's storyline is also great and can be recalled after completing the game.
Don't worry if some memory CGs aren't unlocked—even after completing the game, you can still continue.
Complete CG Unlock Guide
What most brothers are missing are Morning Practice and Bath Practice. Let me explain the unlock methods in detail.
Morning Practice Unlock: After max affection, normally go back to bed to rest. Randomly appears next morning. There's a proven trick—if your target heroine never appears, try ignoring her for a few days and only interact with other heroines. Appearance rate will significantly increase.
Bath Practice Unlock: Most heroines appear at Xu hour (7-9 PM), randomly at the cottage bathhouse. Two exceptions:
1. Murong Yan: You hour (5-7 PM), Wind Bamboo Forest.
2. Nangong Ling: You hour (5-7 PM), Camp Palace.
These two might bug and not appear. The solution is simple—do some work the next day, then go and adjust to You hour, and it'll work.
Night Practice Unlock: Go at Zi hour (11 PM-1 AM) for direct options. The simplest.
Heroines appear at different locations during day/dusk/night. Ones that are hard to find:
1. Xuan Shuang: At dusk, on the roof.
2. Fei Yan: At dusk, at the lake pavilion of the Altar.
The most amazing thing is they run so far, yet can teleport back to their rooms by Zi hour. That's the heroine's privilege!

Wild Divination Points Easter Egg Tips
The developer hid the wild divination points quite well, but there are clues. Every NPC is special—the narrator's words contain hints. Match all NPC dialogue with spawn points and that proves you've found them all. Go discover them yourself—you might bump into several while gathering herbs in the wild. This exploration process is the most enjoyable part of the game!
