Task 1 Final Transcription

(Cao Cao)

Storyteller (ST), Gossiper (GO), Chao Chao (CC), Hemit(He), Ha(Ha), Nadia(Na)

ST: Okay here is our first stop, the camp of Wei kingdom. They say the emperor of Wei--Chao Chao--is a cunning, merciless villain; I say he is a formidable, brilliant, and determined he is the hero of the time. I am personally one of the fans of Chao Chao, so I think his kingdom kingship is justified and deserved.

GO: Oh, come on. You don’t have to be so pretentious. Did he pay you for that? Honestly, Chao Chao that old man is just a drunk always singing weird song. See

A Short Song Ballad plays

 I lift my drink and sing a song,

for who knows if life is short or long?

Man's life is but the morning dew,

past days many, future ones few.

The melancholy my heart begets,

comes from cares I cannot forget.;

What can unravel these woes of mine?

I know but one drink – Du Kang Wine.

Disciples dress in blue,

my heart worries for you.

You are the cause,

of this song without pause.

Across the bank a deer bleats,

in the wild where it eats.

Honored my guests I salute,

strike the harp! Play the flute!

Bright is the moon's spark,

when can I pick it apart?

Thoughts of you from deep inside,

cannot settle, cannot subside.

Friends drop by via a country road,

the respect they pay really show.

A long due reunion we fest,

sharing past stories we possessed.

Stars around the moons are few,

southward the crows flew.

Flying with no rest,

where shall they nest?

No mountain too steep,

no ocean too deep

Sage pauses [from meals] when guests call,

so at his feet the empire does fall!

GO: Can you hear the song?

GO: See. I told you~ Speak of the drunk, and he’s here now.

S: Aren’t you the great King? What is that with the long face Cao Cao?

CC: You know why I was called the mighty Chao Chao? It is because of my ability to recruit the best heroes in the world? But now I found it very hard even just to get one person to help me. Oh god, if someone shows up I will be like the Duke of Zhou (周公) to embrace him. Alas, mountains will not complain to be tall, ocean will not complain to be deep. (山不厭高，海不厭深) I will accept anyone that joins me.

ST: I come at the right time. I bring you three talented people. They are the trusted bothers of shu’s king. But now they are separated from their Big Brother. They come to you to surrender. You can put them in your army if you like.

CC: It is a pity to live in the time of turmoil, but if we can turn turmoil into peace, it is something worth our praise(生於亂世是為不幸，但如能變亂為治，豈非不幸中之大幸！) Now show me our new heroes, I will challenge them with some questions to see if they are suitable.

CC: Okay, my new heroes, prepare to undertake my challenges. If you did not hear of what I just said you can always look on the wall on the left right side and the first question is what does it mean to visit someone three times (三顧茅廬)?

GO: Can you understand the question

ST: Nadia, Hemit and Ha ya this is a puzzle game like you gonna guess the meaning of the question and the question is that what does it mean to visit someone three times? Like it is a proverb at that time in the Chinese ancient time

NA: Can I answer now?

GO: yes

ST: Ya you gonna answer

NA: “A” you are very hard to invite

CC: Yeah

GO: ya that’s right

ST: oh that is a good answer

Go: Brilliant

ST GO: Laughing

CC: Perfect !! now the second question is what do you call the mind of Sima Zhao(司馬昭之心)?

ST: and Sima Zhao is a guy at that time who actually want to secretly take the kingship he thinks that nobody knows that but actually like it is not a secret so what does it mean?

CC: I know this is a hard question so I will give you a clue in the first place listen carefully I will not repeat it again so suppose you intend to do something you think that nobody knows but the truth is the opposite what is it what is it your intention you can look on the wall the middle one there are clues on it. Multiple choices

GO: Can you see the board in the middle maybe you can walk close to it and you can see the words clearly. What do you call the heart the mind of Sima Zhao the first answer is everyone knows and the second is nobody cares and the third answer is maybe google knows which one do you think is the right answer? Hemit do you want to answer? Hemit can you hear me

He: ya I can

Go: Ya, Cao Cao can you say tell us the story of Sima Zhao again

CC: okay okay I will say the story again so Sima Zhao is a person at that time and he wants to be the emperor but he wants to be the emperor but he thinks that nobody knows that he knows that he want to be the emperor he thinks that everyone just don’t know his ambitious plan but the truth is that everyone actually knows so what is you call the intention of it.

Na: Number one

Go: Yes that’s right

ST: Ya Nadia you are great

             

Na: Ya

Go: Good okay we can

CC: Ya

Go: Next question

    

CC: That is a killing spree you are making!! Two correct answers in a row. But this is still not the end. The last question is: what do you call the action of Jiang Gan stealing books? (蔣幹盜書) As usual I know you all like clues I will give it straight ahead if you are stealing something you think it is precious only because a person told you so but it is actually with no value at all what do you think people will call you?

He: Fool

CC: Yes, fantastic

Go: Ya fantastic okay

Na: laughing

CC: You have completed all my challenges you are welcome to join me with my quest of conquering China. My first task for you is to move to the sea side to search someone.
