Ms. Zhao from Krampus wants to discuess urgent business with you. Head to Failume Heights to meet her.

Failume Heights

(Idle)

Zhao: If you're late...

Zhao: I'll dock your points for that!

(Talk to Zhao)

Zhao: Hey there Proxy, fancy meeting you again — it's quite rare to run into you on such peaceful city streets with this chill background music playing.

Zhao: Wherever Proxy goes, trouble follows — it's like you've got that movie-character curse where everything collapses in your wake and mysterious murders pop up wherever you set foot.

Man, that's one messed-up curse!

Or should I say, that's exactly what it takes to be a protagonist?

Zhao: Just kidding around, that's all~

Zhao: Truth be told, both Krampus and I have been quite interested in your recent involvement with some TOPS-related incidents.

...You mean Dialyn?

And about Lorenz...

Zhao: Hmm... All of these are either earth-shattering or ground-breaking "major events," huh.

Zhao: And I gotta say, you really shone through in all these events.

Zhao: "My judgment was spot on! Proxy is a partner with real potential" — just as I was feeling a bit smug about it, I suddenly realized that I'd never actually put this "partner" through a proper "assessment."

Partner?

Assessment?

Zhao: That's right, after all, the Krampus Compliance Authority is "the terrifying organization that makes everyone from security guards to board members at TOPS quake in their boots"! Not every TOPS Judge is as friendly and approachable as I am!

Zhao: TOPS has always been synonymous with elite, and Krampus brings together extraordinary talents who can win over these elites — naturally, we're only willing to, and should only, work with the elite of the elites.

Guess I'll take that as a compliment.

Zhao: According to strict workflow procedures, Krampus Judges should conduct thorough and comprehensive investigations of their collaborators before working with them... though these guys never really liked following procedures anyway.

Zhao: So this was supposed to be Dialyn's job... but for various reasons, I've decided to personally conduct the "Partner Assessment" for you — this is quite the special treatment that ordinary partners don't get to enjoy!

Better not be some difficult mission.

Can I just give up?

Zhao: Hey! What's with that lackluster attitude! Are you really not looking forward to working with me?

Zhao: The assessment won't be some impossible mission... but unlike other collaborators, Proxy, my requirement for you is to score 100% on every single task!

Zhao: Only absolute perfection is worthy of your reputation, right?

Do I look like someone who's good at taking tests?

And you're being 100% strict.

Zhao: Hold your grimaces. You are not only getting special requirements, but also getting a special gift.

Zhao: Today is the first day of the assessment. Consider this gift both as an encouragement for you and a thank you for your previous assistance with Krampus' work—

Zhao: Now that you've got your gift, you're not allowed to turn down the upcoming "Partner Assessment"!

Is it a gift-wrapped trap?

This bunny's got some serious tricks up her sleeve!

Zhao: Well well, helping me complete this "Partner Assessment Report" will benefit future collaborations between you and TOPS, you know.

Zhao: I've personally tailored this test just for you, Proxy. I hope you have fun~

Zhao: Remember, aim for that perfect score!

(Talk to Zhao)

Zhao: What's cuter than a Proxy? A punctual Proxy who shows up right on time, that's what~

After all, I'm dealing with one terrifying Judge.

I wouldn't dare defy you!

Zhao: Huh? Look at my eyes, my nose, my mouth — do you really have the heart to say that again?

Zhao: Let's set aside that rather impolite greeting from the candidate for now. Allow me to walk you through today's assessment subject.

Zhao: After the Lorenz incident, we took the opportunity to restructure Porcelumex's organization and urged them to improve their Porcelume production conditions in Waifei Peninsula.

Zhao: Today, our mission is to visit Porcelume shops and miners in Waifei Peninsula to learn about Porcelumex's operations.

Is this also part of a partner's business?

Zhao: Communication and problem-spotting are valuable skills, and you played a part in taking down Porcelumex's former head. Don't you want to know how it all turned out?

Zhao: Let's go. The workers are on break right now. Executing missions quickly and decisively — that's what makes a great partner!

(Talk to Smooth-Talking Worker)

(The workers haven't had time to take off their Hollow operation equipment during break time, and they're chatting casually about work...)

Smooth-Talking Worker: With the new equipment, work's been way smoother — productivity's up, we get more break time, everyone's mood has improved, and we're actually pumping out more than before...

Smooth-Talking Worker: If you ask me, I should be the one running Porcelumex! Such a simple idea, yet those stingy fools took so long to figure it out...

Inarticulate Worker: Don't go spreading stuff like that... if the higher-ups at the company find out...

Smooth-Talking Worker: So what if they know? Word on the street is that Porcelumex's top brass, the big shots... they've all been replaced!

Zhao: Don't just stand there. Use that social butterfly magic of yours to break the ice...

How's work been treating you lately?

How's the new boss?

Smooth-Talking Worker: Hey, you look familiar... and that outfit... You're... you're the young master from Suibian Temple, aren't you?

Inarticulate Worker: When the mine had that incident before, the masters from Suibian Temple were a huge help...

Smooth-Talking Worker: Yeah, that's right! When those monsters invaded the city, it was the masters from Suibian Temple who protected everyone!

Smooth-Talking Worker: You're our savior!

It's all thanks to Shifu and the senior disciples.

This is part of Suibian Temple's social responsibility.

Smooth-Talking Worker: Thanks to the masters at Suibian Temple, we've been living pretty sweet these days!

Inarticulate Worker: The company got new equipment for the miners, and even the monsters wreaking havoc in the Hollow seem to have thinned out.

The workers chime in one after another, sharing their daily work experiences in simple but heartfelt words...

Zhao: The way you operate is definitely quite different from the usual TOPS employees.

Zhao: While it looks like just casual chatter with the workers, it's actually a way to understand everyone's most genuine thoughts and suggestions...

I was just making small talk.

I see...

Zhao: I've gotta put some legit-sounding evaluations in your assessment report, right?

Zhao: But on the bright side, thanks to you and the Defense Force girls raising hell in Waifei Peninsula, Porcelumex's production has definitely improved leaps and bounds, and the workers' conditions seem to have gotten much better, too.

Zhao: Along with the gratitude from the workers, you truly deserve the perfect score.

Zhao: Don't forget — come pick your daily gift box!

(Talk to Zhao)

Zhao: Between you and me, when I get tired of the office air, I like to take a stroll by the river at Lumina Square...

Zhao: Proxy, how much do you know about the shops in Lumina Square?

I go there pretty often.

Can't afford the rent there.

Zhao: Today's assessment topic is market research on the retail stores at Lumina Square. Specifically, we'll be focusing on studying popular products from one of the stores...

Zhao: To be even more specific, it's a survey about the hot new items at Richard Teamilk!

You just want some teamilk, huh?

It's a super sweet assessment!

Zhao: Doing your due diligence before making investment decisions is crucial, Proxy!

Zhao: That's giving my 100% as a professional TOPS employee for ya~

Zhao: Go unleash 100% of your business instinct, Proxy!

(Talk to Coco)

Zhao: The objective is to find the most popular item. Don't get too caught up buying teamilk and forget about the task at hand, Proxy.

Coco: Welcome to Richard Teamilk! What can I get for you today?

Coco: Oh, it's (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)! And who's this friend you've got with you?

What's the most popular drink right now?

What's the hottest teamilk of the season?

Coco: The hottest new drink of the season? It's gotta be the Melon Cocoa with less ice and half sugar!

Coco: Rich and sweet cocoa paired with cool and refreshing melon flavor — perfect for this time of year!

Coco: But if we're talking about the best-selling drink...

It's always the classic, right?

Coco: No doubt about it, our most popular drink has always been our signature "Caramel Boba Teamilk."

Zhao: That's the one I want! Let me see what makes this classic drink tick.

One Caramel Boba Teamilk, please.

Zhao: Make it two!

Coco: Just a moment, you two~

Drinking the caramel boba pearls brings the sweetness level to new peaks... After enjoying Richard Teamilk's classic drink with Zhao, you return to Failume Heights...

Zhao: Hmm~ Classics are classics for a reason.

Zhao: There's a reason why TOPS sits at the pinnacle of wealth in New Eridu — we've earned our legendary status.

It's just teamilk, right?

Is TOPS' vision hidden in puddings too?

Zhao: Hey, I went out of my way to write nice things about you in your evaluation report, you know?

Zhao: Hmm~ I shall graciously bestow upon you this perfect sweetness, courtesy of the Caramel Boba Teamilk!

Zhao: But remember: next time you come visit me, bring some teamilk!

(Talk to Zhao)

Zhao: Fantasy Resort... Given that it's a massive tourism project, it's not a surprise that TOPS has invested in it, right?

Zhao: And today's assessment task is to assist me in examining the business operations of this major TOPS investment project.

Summer is already long over...

You should have come earlier.

Zhao: I'm a Judge with a heavy workload! Who has time to go sightseeing at tourist hotspots during peak season?

Zhao: You should thank me, you know! I'm burning up my hard-earned vacation days just to conduct the partner assessment for you!

Why not just give me a perfect score?

How about just letting me pass the test?

Zhao: I'm not like those unruly rascals who treat rules and procedures like they don't exist! As your senior, I've got to show 100% professionalism!

Zhao: How about we start researching the resort by getting some feedback from the guests?

(Talk to Laid-Back Guest)

Laid-Back Guest: Shh... the fish is about to take the bait...

(The water's surface is calm and still, with no trace of any fish...)

Zhao: ...

Zhao: How about taking a moment to participate in our guest feedback interview?

Zhao: I can get the staff to scoop up some pretty little fishes from the tank to fill up your creel...

Laid-Back Guest: Th-That won't do... How about some pretty big fishes instead?

Zhao: I-If you have room in your creel...

Laid-Back Guest: Feel free to ask me anything! I've been chilling at this resort for weeks — there's hardly a tourist who knows this place better than me!

What's your favorite activity?

Any memorable moments?

Laid-Back Guest: Fishing is definitely my favorite activity! Though I always suspect the noise from the nearby surfing competitions affects how the fish bite... That announcer sure knows how to make a racket!

Laid-Back Guest: But if we're talking about the most memorable moment... it's gotta be that ice cream truck lady's smile! No splash from any fish could shine brighter than that smile...

Laid-Back Guest: Seeing that smile after a day of fishing... I guess that's why I chose to stay here...

(The following conversation turns into a one-sided love confession, completely straying off topic...)

You try out various activities at the resort with Zhao and collect feedback from guests...
You then return to Failume Heights after a bit of sightseeing.

Zhao: Fantasy Resort... maybe it really is a place that can bring sweet dreams?

Zhao: Seems like a perfect vacation spot for me, plus I can use my corporate travel allowance... but there's still room for improvement!

Zhao: Like those water activities — fishing, surfing, and stuff like that...

Zhao: Wet rabbit fur is such a hassle to deal with! I bet other Thiren customers have the same struggle...

Why don't we pick a different destination?

How about a vacation somewhere without water?

Zhao: Change of destination? Proxy, you really get me, don't you?

Zhao: Let's hit up the Random Play video store at your place for tomorrow's vacation spot!

When did my place become a vacation spot?

I mean, it is considered a popular spot...

Zhao: Don't give me that suspicious look! Long story short, the resort user report draft went pretty smoothly. Check out your perfect score report and graciously accept my gift!

Zhao: Today's assessment is about your core duties... as a video store manager.

Zhao: So, Manager, this subject should be right up your alley, huh?

TOPS is gonna buy out my place?

You wish to invest in Random Play?

Zhao: Hey hey hey, you've been giving me that suspicious look since yesterday, haven't you!

Zhao: Don't worry, I'm not here to do a fire inspection under TOPS' name, and I have no intention of buying out your place either.

Zhao: Alright, lead the way. Even a dummy like you must've noticed I was going easy on you, right?

Zhao: Destination: Sixth Street, Random Play video store!

(Talk to Zhao)

Zhao: Quite a stylish shop you've got here. Ever wonder if I've snuck in before, dear Manager?

For a special guest like you...

I definitely would've remembered if you were here.

Zhao: Hmm~ I'm flattered by your compliments, but don't think that means I'll go easy on the assessment!

Zhao: Today's challenge is: Sell me an annual membership for Random Play!

Zhao: So, what do you think? This is an assessment of the core business competitiveness of TOPS' future partners.

You sure went through a lot of trouble...

That reminds me of another bunny member...

Zhao: So tell me, what perks do I get as a Random Play member?

Unlimited videotape rentals.

Personal recommendations from the manager.

Zhao: Hmm, it does sound tempting... But hey, are there any more special perks to sweeten the deal?

Dating privileges with the manager.

The manager's personal contact info.

Zhao: Hahaha! You're really going all out to promote those memberships, huh?

Zhao: Well then, I guess I'll do you the favor of accepting this membership card that lets me bother you as many times as I want.

Zhao: Here's a gift for you, Manager. A perfect score.

Zhao: And that concludes all the tests. Your final score? A perfect 100 across the board! Top of the class!

Was there even a proper test to begin with?

Zhao: You sure have some strict standards... To be honest, your abilities as a partner have already been more than proven through your work with my colleagues.

Zhao: Just think of this assessment as my personal evaluation of you as a Judge.

Zhao: Don't think this assessment was a walk in the park — everyone says I'm the type who demands nothing less than perfection from others, a super strict superior and colleague.

Zhao: Maybe you're just used to getting perfect scores. That's why it seemed easy, don't you think?

Zhao: I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunities to work closely together in the future.

Zhao: If I cause you any trouble in the future, consider today's welcome gift as my advance apology~

Zhao: Just kidding~ Catch you later, Proxy!
