Y'know, he would figure out what wude is much quicker if he just went to the local library or something.

Yes, but he wouldn't find the treasure that way because .....



..... the Real Treasure Was the Friends He Made Along the Way.

Not all friends are "good" people. There are sometimes rival friends, frenemies, or toxic friends.

True. But you'd think Hong Kong would have libraries. I mean, I tried comparing SHenmue II map with Google map and couldn't find a propper allignment but I bet there could of been a library somewhere and somewhen back then.

If the library books were in Cantonese or Chinese, Ryo would still having trouble since he's only beginning to learn the language.

If the Librarian speaks his language, get them to help translate.

"Do you have a book on Wude?"
"Can you help me read it?"

I'm sure librarians in foreign countries are used to tourists who have difficulty reading their language.

And the librarian answered, "Yes, but we are not allowed to lend them to foreigners."

Sometimes people hold a grudge because of what's happened in the past.
And things did happen in the past, Japan invaded Hongkong in 1941.
