Cromdo Cashes In is the main quest for Cromdo Face.
On top of the canyon, on a stone bridge rock formation, Cromdo, dancing about like a tube man, shouts to The Journalist to come visit him for the deal of a lifetime. This "deal" leaves the Journalist swindled but they figure they have to play along for the ultimate goal of getting him back.
Cromdo wants me to dislodge the gunk from his windmills. I suppose this new Lunchpad will do the trick.
Objectives: Knock three windmills into working order! (3/3)
Caveat Emptor!
Cromdo demands payment for his Lunchpad. I'll need Cheepoofs to appease him.
Objectives:
Catch three Cheepoofs. (3/3)
Feed three Cheepoofs. (3/3)
Fry with Me!
Cromdo continues to make demands. A Sweet Fryder should keep him quiet.
Objectives:
Catch one Sweet Fryder. (1/1)
Feed one Sweet Fryder. (1/1)
Cold Feet!
Cromdo now wants cold feet so that he can walk across the desert. He is trying my patience.
Objectives: Turn Cromdo's feet into Bopsicles or Big Bopsicles. (2/2)
Get Cromdo Back to Snaxburg!
Cromdo is quite the capitalist. I might have to play along with his schemes to get him home.
Objectives: Convince him to go home.
Hey you! Yeah, up here! Follow me and I'll show ya the deal of a lifetime![1]
*Climb canyon up to Cromdo Mart*
Hello, Friend, welcome! Come on over, take a look! I assure you, you won't be disappointed. Heh heh heh! The name's Cromdo Face, the one and only salesman in paradise!
Can I help you?
Friend, have I got a bridge to sell you! Beautiful, isn't it? Hardwood, new construction, eh? Ooh baby, what a bridge! All yours for just one hundred Bugsnax! Whaddya say?
That's too much, man!
I'm a little short on bugs right now.
I do not want or need a bridge.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...can't afford it? No problem! I got a specialty item just for you, cheap as free! Follow me, Pal! Feast your eyes on this beautiful Lunchpad! Totally for sale and not at all stolen! You're itchin' to try it out, I can tell! Eh, my windmills over there got stuck! Why don't you take it for a spin and knock 'em into shape?
*Start Windmills*
I started your windmills.
Ah, feel that hot, sweaty breeze! Now it's time to pay up! What? You used it, you bought it! There's no such thing as a free lunch...pad. Eh, you can pay me three of those Cheepoofs. They think they're so great, flying around. Let's see how they like flyin' into my mouth!
*Catch Cheepoofs and feed Cromdo*
*contented sigh* Okay, okay, I know you're just itching to get your paws on that bridge, so I'll cut you a deal, friend! I want a Fryder, but it's on this ridiculously tall rock, and I wasn't exactly blessed with stilts for legs.
*Catch Fryder and feed Cromdo*
Pleasure doing business with ya. You're my best (and only) customer! I'm starting to think I should get a better location back in Snaxburg... But moving all this inventory across the desert is real sweaty work! I'll need a way to keep cool. If you make both my feet into Big Bopsicles, then walkin' the hot sands would be a breeze! But I gotta warn ya, you won't find Bopsicles in the desert. Better look elsewhere, Pal!
*Catch Bopsicles and feed Cromdo*
Ahhh, yeah yeah yeah, sweet relief! These things better not melt off... Anyway, a deal's a deal, friend. The bridge is yours. Some assembly required.
*Cromdo opens the bridge to which it collapses*
Oh, and so ya know, Cromdo Mart is not responsible for any loss or injury suffered as a result of the use of its products. If you need anything else, anything AT ALL, please, please, PLEASE call your friend Cromdo!
*Cromdo runs off*
Ohhhh, I'm already sweatin! It's too hot, too hot! Ugh, I don't like the hot.
Aftermath[]
Back in Snaxburg, Beffica is displeased to see Cromdo back in town for obvious reasons.
Beffica! To what do I owe the honor?
Oh, I'm just curious what
you think you're doing here.
What am I doing? I'm workin' the counter! Cromdo Mart's back in business, baby!
Don't act all innocent.
If you start running scams again, I'll know.
Yeah, yeah, cuz you know everything. And here's what I know: You're not better than me, Beff. Nobody likes all your snoopin' around.
Ha! I don't care what they think about me, as long as I make sure you get what you deserve~.
Don't I always.
Are you gonna buy somethin' or what?
Yeah, I'll take a tall Snakwater, extra fizz!
Comin' right up!
