Icon Dialogue Commission Check out the noodle shop

General Chop is hosting a Grand Gourmet's Challenge
(Idle)
Schoolboy: It's just an eating competition! I can eat 20 bowls!
Schoolboy: Yeahhh, you can eat 20 bowls...
Woman: So it's because of the Grand Gourmet's Challenge that there are so many people here today...
Man: Noodles... Noodles... I'm so sleepy... I have to work overtime after I finish eating...
(Talk to General Chop)
How's business lately? If there's a day you don't feel like opening the video store, you're welcome to come apprentice with me, haha!
General Chop: Manager, will you also participate?
Icon Dialogue Commission Yeah! ...What competition?
(Continue to commission)
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm a little busy...
General Chop: Then I'll tell you the details after you're done...

General Chop: I've organized this eating competition to let more people know about my noodle shop. Whoever manages to eat the most noodles in 10 minutes will get a free one-year Tasting Coupon.
General Chop: Haha, but so far, no one has been able to break the previous champion's record. If no one breaks it soon, that person will get the one-year Tasting Coupon again this year!
General Chop: We're old friends, so how about this? I'll give you an extra one-year Tasting Coupon if you can find a contestant who can break the record. What do you think?
Icon Dialogue Talk I'll go find someone!
Icon Dialogue Commission Tracked Find a reliable helper who can win the championship of the eating contest.

Looks [sic] for a promising contestant on Sixth Street for the eating contest and win coupons for a whole year!
(Idle)
Phil: It's a new modification idea...
(Talk to Phil)
Phil: What's wrong?
Icon Dialogue Talk How can I get the one-year noodle Tasting Coupon?
Icon Dialogue Talk Do you want to participate in the eating competition?
Phil: Are you talking about General Chop's eating competition? I've already participated. It's a shame I couldn't break the champion's record... Maybe only the Bear Thirens who live in the suburbs can break the record!
(Idle)
Sixth Street's Chubby Cat: Zzz...
(Talk to Sixth Street's Chubby Cat)
Sixth Street's Chubby Cat: Meow...?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍(Bringing a cat with me to participate in the competition might work... Let's go!)(Bringing a cat with me to participate in the competition might work... Let's go!) / (I bet this chubby cat could eat a bowl of noodles in one bite!)(I bet this chubby cat could eat a bowl of noodles in one bite!)‍)
The cat may be fat, but it's really fast. You can't catch it at all...
Forget it. You'll look for someone else!
(Idle)
Clara: What store themes are good recently?
(Talk to Clara)
Clara: Oh, I remember you. You're the manager of the video store. Are you here to ask me to film a shop tour video at your store? Just so you know, I charge a lot for a video~
Icon Dialogue Talk (Forget it. Let's not ask her.)

Icon Dialogue Talk Do you want to participate in an eating competition?
Clara: An eating competition? Hmm... That sounds like a good way to get a lot of views... but I probably can't eat that much. I wonder if I can use editing to...
Icon Dialogue Talk It needs to be a fair competition!
Clara: Geez... you're so stubborn. Since you won't make an exception for someone like me who can help with the publicity, I'm not going to participate. Go and ask someone else.
Icon Dialogue Commission Tracked Look for a bear! A strong bear! A big eater bear!

Head to the outskirts of the construction site. Find a strong bear big eater and persuade him to participate in the eating contest.
(Idle)
Pepper: Hmm... the canteen is serving less food by the day...
Ironhead: Sooner or later, I'll have to file a complaint with the person in charge of the canteen. It's not enough to eat!
Foreman Thomas: Darn it! I can't go without caviar!
(Talk to Pepper)
Ironhead: Oh! Did the boss hear us complain about the canteen and send someone to give us extra food?
Icon Dialogue Talk I'll treat you to free noodles!
Ironhead: Really? You better not go back on your word!
Icon Dialogue Talk Tell him about the eating competition
Ironhead: I don't get all this competition stuff; all I know I get to eat all the free noodles I want!
Ironhead: What are you waiting for? Let's go!
After speaking, the Bear Thiren grabs his two companions and runs towards Sixth Street...
Well, they sure are fast, too fast for you. You hope you'll get to Sixth Street just in time for the most exciting part of the competition!
Icon Dialogue Commission Tracked Return to Waterfall Soup on Sixth Street

Head back and check on the progress of the Grand Gourmet's Challenge!
(Idle)
Ironhead: It's SO SPICY! Ahhhh! Do you have any water?!
(Talk to Ironhead, optional)
Ironhead: Why didn't you tell me the noodles are spicy at this noodle shop?! It's so spicy... Ugh... I'm going to need to buy another bottle of ice water!
Icon Dialogue Talk Guess it's challenge failed...
(Idle)
Foreman Thomas: Hmm... the canteen is serving less food by the day...
(Talk to Foreman Thomas, optional)
Foreman Thomas: Oh, you're back! Thanks for telling me about this great place! I'm so full now...
Icon Dialogue Talk Did you win the challenge?
Foreman Thomas: Uhh... No, since I ate 10 bowls of rice for every bowl of noodles I ate, but the rice doesn't count...
(Idle)
Pepper: I want a strawberry cake, a tuna riceball, a tea roll, and a black gold caviar sandwich...
(Talk to Pepper, optional)
Pepper: Hey! You're here! Got any idea what's good here?
Icon Dialogue Talk You didn't join the competition?
Icon Dialogue Talk You can still eat?
Pepper: I passed on the noodles! It's rare to stumble upon such a refined place, so I've got to order the good stuff! Noodles are something I could have any time...
(Talk to General Chop)
How's business lately? If there's a day you don't feel like opening the video store, you're welcome to come apprentice with me, haha!

General Chop: Oh~ Those were the three challengers you brought? What a shame. They obviously had talent, and yet they still failed...
General Chop explains in detail how the competition went down...
Foreman Thomas! With a final tally of... one bowl of noodles and ten bowls of rice. The rice also counts [sic]!
Ironhead! With a final tally of... zero bowls of noodles and one liter of ice water, which doesn't count!
Pepper has forfeited!
General Chop: What a pity, it was so close!
General Chop: But it looks like the competitive eating record this time around still belongs to last year's winner!
Icon Dialogue Talk And who's that person exactly!?
General Chop: A regular around here, haha!
General Chop: If you really wanna know, come here tomorrow morning, and you'll see for yourself.
And just like that, the Grand Gourmet's Challenge comes to a close...
Who exactly is this champion? Better swing by the next morning to find out!

Post-Commission Dialogue

(6AM - the day after completing Grand Gourmet's Challenge)
(Talk to Elis)
Elis: This really is extraordinary...
General Chop: This is an exclusive broth I created. Of course it's extraordinary!
Elis: No, no, I can't keep staring... I'll lose myself...
General Chop: You always have an eye for detail. Even with noodles, you pay attention to color, aroma, and flavor. The colors of our noodle broth, toppings, and bowls are all meticulously selected and designed by me!
Elis: If only she could be here every morning...
General Chop: Haha, don't you worry! I'll be waiting right here for you every morning! You're the champion who bravely competed for our one-year Tasting Coupon after all... Ah, Hannah! Your noodles are getting cold! Let me get you a new bowl.
Hannah: Huh? Oh, there's no need. Thanks, General Chop! I'll eat them! Right after I clear this stage...
Elis: *quietly* Ah!!! *whispering* I heard her speak! My heart's about to stop! *whispering quieter* She's too special. I've totally fallen for her now... *voice gradually fades*
