Li Bei Wen
Li Bei Wen is a Lower Levels chemist whom Security has labelled an armed cartel cook. He says he is innocent and is finishing a non-addictive version of Oxymore. He sells you Nomore Injectors on his first visit, then returns to ask for chemical supplies. Reporting him pays 400 credits; helping him earns you Li Bei Wen’s Nomore Formula.
When does Li Bei Wen first appear?
He has no fixed day. He is one of the random “wanted” visitors, which begin once the early tutorial period is over (normally from day 14) and arrive with a chance that grows each day without one.
What does Li Bei Wen sell and buy?
- First visit: eight Nomore Injectors at a 50% wholesale price.
- Return visit (supplies): he buys Chemical Supplies (Common) and Chemical Supplies (Restricted).
- Finale: he gives you items rather than buying (see below).
Faction: Lower Levels.
Spoilers: storyline
Visits in order
- First visit. He asks you not to report him, saying big pharma got Security to label him a cartel cook, and sells you samples to fund his research. If you try to report him he pleads: “Let me go, and I’ll share my formula with you once it’s finished!” He thanks you when he leaves: “You may have just saved a lot of people from an Oxymore overdose.”
- Three days later: supplies. If you did not report him, he returns saying the research is almost done and he needs chemical supplies. He buys Chemical Supplies (Common) and Chemical Supplies (Restricted). If you have none, he comes back in 7 days.
- The finale arrives sooner the more you give. The wait is 17 days, minus 4 days per Common and 7 days per Restricted supply you give him, but never fewer than 2 days. Once your gifts are enough for the minimum wait, he thanks you and leaves.
- Finale. He says he finished and thanks you for not turning him in. He is going to try to leave the station and make his research public. He gives you Li Bei Wen’s Nomore Formula (a note) and two Nomore Injectors at 99% purity.
If you report him at any stage, his storyline ends.
FAQ
Is Li Bei Wen really a cartel cook?
By his own account, no: he says pharma companies had Security label him one so his research would not reach the market.
How many supplies do I need to give him?
Enough to cut the waiting time to the minimum of 2 days: for example, two Restricted and one Common Chemical Supplies already bring the wait down to 2 days.
Should I report him?
Reporting pays 400 credits but skips the formula and the two high-purity injectors.
What do I get at the end?
Li Bei Wen’s Nomore Formula and two Nomore Injectors (99% purity).
