In 2025, the vibrant world of Florawish once again becomes the stage for heartfelt stories during Infinity Nikki's New Bloom Reunion event. Among the time-limited quests, 'Where the Strings Echo' stands out, inviting players into a touching narrative centered on creative struggle. The quest revolves around a musician named Xian, who finds himself artistically adrift. Having sought inspiration in Florawish for his next composition, Xian confesses to Nikki that his creative well has run dry, a situation worsened by his reclusive habits at the White Jade. Recognizing his plight, Nikki and her companion Momo immediately offer their assistance, embarking on a mission to gather perspectives on finding inspiration from the people of Florawish.

🎯 How to Start the Quest

Beginning 'Where the Strings Echo' is straightforward for stylists. Players have two primary methods to trigger the quest chain:

• Direct Approach: Travel directly to the White Jade location within Florawish and initiate a conversation with the troubled musician, Xian.

• Event Menu: Navigate to the New Bloom Reunion event page, select the 'New Bloom Chronicles' tab, and manually choose the 'Where the Strings Echo' quest from the list.

Upon selecting the quest through either method, the game map will update to clearly mark Xian's location, ensuring players can find him without hassle. The initial conversation reveals his deep frustration. A glimmer of hope appears when Xian recalls seeing another character, Alber, recently mumbling about inspiration on the ship. Hopeful that Alber's thoughts might spark an idea, Xian sends Nikki to find him and inquire on his behalf.

🔍 Finding Alber: Tips and Locations

Alber can be elusive, and finding him requires attention to detail and environmental conditions. Here are the key points players must remember:

Potential Location	Description	Special Condition
White Jade Entrance	Often found standing near the main entryway to the White Jade.	Most common spawn point.
Statue near Mayor's Residence	Can be observed looking thoughtfully at a specific statue he tends to.	A frequent alternative location.

⚠️ Critical Advisory: Alber's appearance is heavily dependent on the in-game weather and time. If he is not at either of the above locations, it is likely because it is currently raining or nighttime in Florawish. Players must use the Pear-Pal tool to manually adjust the in-game time to a clear, daytime period. Only then will Alber spawn reliably.

Alber, often found pondering near statues, holds a key piece of advice for the quest.

💡 Gathering Wisdom on Inspiration

After locating and speaking with Alber, Nikki learns his own quest for inspiration is related to the statue he cares for. This conversation marks the first step in understanding the theme. The next objective directs players back to the White Jade. Here, Nikki must listen to the Confident Girl. This interaction is crucial, as she eloquently explains that inspiration often flows from experiencing and appreciating different forms of art. She emphasizes that by listening to various artistic expressions and using them as reference, creative blocks can be overcome.

This revelation forms the core answer Xian seeks. With this knowledge, players return to the waiting musician at his starting point. They are then presented with a narrative choice:

• Option A: Simply tell Xian the conclusion—that inspiration comes from absorbing diverse arts.

• Option B: Play something for him to demonstrate the principle directly.

🎶 The Final Performance

Choosing to play for Xian leads to the quest's unique and memorable finale. Xian expresses a desire to hear "a foreign tune from Florawish." This request has a specific gameplay requirement that cannot be bypassed.

❌ Using any ability outfit other than the 'Symphony of Strings' will fail this step.

Players must equip the 'Symphony of Strings' outfit to proceed. Once equipped, a mini-game interface appears, showing a sequence of musical notes. Successfully playing the notes as displayed on the screen completes the artistic exchange. This act of sharing music directly applies the lesson learned—using one art form (Nikki's performance) to inspire another (Xian's composition).

Quest Completion and Rewards

Successfully finishing the performance for Xian concludes the 'Where the Strings Echo' quest. Players are rewarded for their efforts in helping the musician rediscover his creative spark. While specific reward quantities may vary, completions typically grant:

• Event-specific currency for the New Bloom Reunion event shop.

• Experience points and leveling materials.

• Possibly exclusive furnishings or styling items related to the musical theme.

This quest beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Infinity Nikki's event storytelling, blending exploration, character interaction, and a touch of rhythmic gameplay into a cohesive and rewarding experience for stylists in 2025.
