Augusta wakes up very early and goes out to finish the current adventure. She just needs to collect one more piece of mercury.
There is mercury all over the map. I chose to send Augusta to pick up two pieces that were in the prettiest setting: next to the Great Wall.
She now has a surplus piece of mercury, which is great: it is valuable and she needs the money.
Before going back to the forbidden city, she visits the nearby Terracotta Army, because she has rolled the wish to see it.
After this she returns two the forbidden city, gives the relic merchant the promised two pieces of mercury and sells the extra one. Now she can buy herself some more nice things!
She buys two things to place on her little houseboat: a treasure chest to keep her finds, and a Sim Fu dummy, so that she can practice the skill without travelling to China.
She also visits the book merchant and buys a Sim Fu book and the recipe for stir-fry and, since she now also has some Ancient Coins, chats with the special merchant. She buys just a piece of pemmican from her, for now.
The relic merchant has actually given Augusta a new task: to catch two assassin bugs. But I'm not in a hurry to send her around catching bugs. If I remember correctly, assassin bugs are a pain in the neck because they are difficult to catch. She might not succeed anyway, and she deserves to take it easy on her last day. She has accomplished so much! Her visa level for China is now one and a half, she has bought some awesome things with her rewards, and she even earned enough lifetime happiness points to buy the opportunistic reward.
So she can take it easy on her last day. She stays at the market, chats with locals, orders food and afterwards makes herself a fortune cookie.
Thank you, fortune cookie, that's very helpful!
Finally, she goes to try and collect two assassin bugs from two different parts of the map. She catches the first one, but the second escapes and there aren't any more left.
The evening has started to fall, so she calls the travel agency and ends her trip a few hours earlier.
