Didn't Zeqing ask us to train this with her so it would encourage Hanyi to develop her Arts?
Indeed she did request Ling Qi to do so.

It doesn't say which arts, just a general group lesson.

The "natural abilities" part is what I'm asking about, since FVM isn't one of their inherent Arts, it's something Zeqing picked up separately.

Either way, we don't have a jade slip for FSS, so we will have to have semi-regular sessions with Zeqing to make the next stage trainable.
I think L&F is somewhat more like to give stealth, and that seemed to be the rough consensus among the people I asked, which is why I went for it.
Moreover, we need 2 more actions to level it. It makes sense for us to do some practice in our own time before returning to Zeqing to level it.

I like Efficient Music.
Does anyone else have 2 Omake points?
If there's anyone else I'll throw my 2 at EPC if it will get us the bennies of it for next turn, not sure how the timing works.

Of all the available jobs, I thought Lost & Found was the most likely to give give stealth, and that seemed to be the rough consensus among the people I asked.
I kinda feel like we want to finish it normally, honestly. There is usually some narrative when we do; having it happen between updates strikes me as a bit off.
Not gonna tell you how to spend your bonus points, though; if you don't agree with me here, that is fine too.

I have chosen the Shambling Terror mission for several reasons. I expect plenty of stealth successes just like our previous ventures into potentially hostile forests but I also think this is a more interesting way to interact with Gu Tai. Since the terror is threatening outlying farms rather than the core mountain there should be no rules against him being there. If, as some speculated, this is related to the Gargant in the pale manual or a leftover from the cloud tribe necromancer we want to deal with this.
I am training SCS because, lacking a tutor, we need to get started on this as soon as possible because we can't rush it very well and because I feel like training a stealth art in the same turn we take a mission might bias us a little towards taking a sneaky approach, making it just a little more likely we get those last few successes.
I'm studying the pale manual, both because the Terror might be related and for the Xuan Shi time. Also formations. I expect that we would start studying at the vent and then find Xuan Shi when we realize we need help, but if yrsillar says this isn't a valid attachment I'll change it.
I'm taking the Cai action because we've put in the work to finally get to know her personally, which was the big cost of the Cai route. Might as well see what there is to see so we can make an informed decision.
I'm considering holding off on some of the pills because we don't know what a flying sword is going to cost and GSS are going to be expensive, just to name a few expenses. Thoughts?

SCS benefits more from flat bonuses like EPC gives same like what we would get from a virtual stone, so it is more efficient per action to train something else for now while we don't have the bonus.
Generally the rule is that we're supposed to use the points before we know what the outcome of the roll is, otherwise it encourages us to game the system pretty heavily.
We did do it once before to level up SCS I believe arounf week 17, and it was kind of dodgy.
