At the beginning of the game, Yi looks around after the Four Seasons Pavilion is activated and finds the Shanhai 9000. When Yi spent 100 Jin repairing and restarting it, Shanhai was finally able to speak out, but the combination of sentences is poor due to the language module that was originally incomplete. When Yi doubts Shanhai 9000's capabilities are working properly, Shanhai 9000 makes a suggestion to Yi. "When you get a map data chip from the Shanhai robots in each section of New Kunlun, I'll hack the map based on it and check the number of materials in the area." Unlike other robots that rely on AI to act on other's needs and responses, Yi wonders how the robot can first ask others what it wants, but he accepts the its deal for his profit.

Yi brings map data chips he promises, Shanhai 9000 faithfully fulfills its promise. But on the other hand, based on the data collected, Shanhai 9000 also looks at all the local information in New Kunlun and a list of Solarian passengers aboard New Kunlun without Yi and his colleagues knowing. Having captured Shanhai's actions, Yi wonders what its purpose, but acquiesces to Shanhai's actions, saying it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't harm him and his colleagues. Then Shanhai 9000 identifies Yi as a reliable figure and reveals its purpose - looking for a Solarian friend who broke up within New Kunlun. However, the time Shanhai 9000 reveals this was after Yi confirmed that all Solarians have mutated in the Empyrean District, so Yi regrets that the friend Shanhai is looking for may have already died. Nevertheless, Shanhai 9000 doesn't care about this and says something meaningful, "I think I'll find a friend soon."

Later in the game, Yi witnesses in the basement that Shanhai 9000 has finally found a friend while escaping from the Tiandao Research Center, but Shanhai's friend in the experimental capsule must have already been mutated by Eigong. so Yi dissuades Shanhai's behavior of liberating the friend, But Shanhai 9000 doesn't mind Yi's worries and pushes ahead with the action, says "Chien is my best friend no matter what condition she is in". However, Chien, a mutant as Yi fears, does not recognize her robot friend and brutally destroys Shanhai 9000. Eventually Yi, out of self defense, has to kill her, and prays for the repose of their caught up in a tragic fate.
