Dialogue

(By 141 Convenience Store, Tue 12PM): Karl: A major client whom I cannot name asked me to get someone to write a bad online review for the 141 chain stores.; Huh?; Karl: Oh... I can't divulge the client's name. But if I'm being honest, such despicable means disappoint me.; Karl: Perhaps this how a war between businesses is like in the real world...

(By the alley next to the HIA Club, Tue 6PM): Nervous Schoolgirl: We still have time before the cram school starts. Wanna take a look around the 141 and get some chips or cola?; Karl: Sorry... I can't.; Nervous Schoolgirl: Oh... Why?; Karl: Because it's Tuesday, and Lumina Galleria next door clears their expiring food on Tuesdays! Chips are half off there!; Nervous Schoolgirl: You mood-killing idiot!

(Outside Gravity Cinema, Wed 6PM): Chopper: Have you made a list of the items going on discount this weekend?; Karl: It's done! A friend of mine happened to be working this week, so she gave me the list of discounted items and their shelf layout.; Chopper: Great! Now we have the intel we need for this operation. You've completed your undercover work perfectly.; Chopper: I'll contact Dinah right away to start planning our strategy for snagging those discounted items!

(Transcription missing): Belf: Well... I wanted to make some new friends through this job.; Belf: But everyone looked exhausted, and when they did talk to me, they would only be asking me if I could cover their shift for a day.; Karl: Friends don't exist in the workplace. Even if someone does deliberately try to get close to you, as soon as you treat them as your friends, they'll pop the question.; Belf: What question?; Karl: "Can you cover my shift for a day?"

(Transcription missing): Karl: You're lazing about here in the morning of a weekday... Don't you need to work?; I don't need to work.; Bangboo work for me.; Karl: It sounds like you live a very carefree life. Well, I have some coupons for some stores. Do you want to buy some at a discount?; Karl: These are all student coupons I got from my classmates! Just tell the owner you're a student and they'll give you a discount!; I'm still a student. Give the voucher to me for free.; Karl: Huh??? Don't cast that spell on me!

(Behind Dew Gardening Shop, Fri 6PM): Tyco: Can you ask your classmates to give my clothing store some good reviews online?; Karl: Sure thing, they'll do it for the price of a bowl of noodles. You can pay them in cash or meal coupons.; Tyco: Tsk, that's a little expensive.; Karl: Hey, these classmates of mine charge the cheapest for these services in all of Janus Quarter!

(By Officer Mewmew, Sat 6PM): Karl: There are a lot of people around this intersection. The next time you ask her out, you can extend your hand to her when you cross the road!; Karl: If she likes you, maybe she will come closer to you and take your hand!; Azhu: What if I'm more proactive and hold her hand directly?; Karl: ABSOLUTELY NOT! That would count as harassment. Forget about crossing the road. You should just go to Public Security to make a statement!

HIA Commemorative Coin

(Talk to Karl and Tyco, 6PM): Karl: Ugh... part-time jobs are drying out these days. No one's hiring for review manipulation.; Karl: Yeah, haven't received any orders for days.; Tyco: I heard there's an editor known as the "Bad Review Witch" snooping around, checking out stores on the down-low.; Tyco: She's been calling out those fake reviews in her magazine.; Karl: And word is, she's already hit several stores hard!; Karl: Wh—What should we do now? Should I give up my part-time job of posting good reviews?; Tyco: Not exactly. Think outside the box.; Tyco: How about going straight to the stores? Threaten the owners that you'll flood them with positive reviews unless they pay up?; Tyco: And tell them: for a price, you'll do the same to their rivals!; Karl: Huh? Are you sure this will work? Why would anyone buy good reviews for their competitors?; Tyco: Yeah, it works like a charm, but your "good reviews" must be way off-base.; Tyco: Like leaving reviews such as "The noodles here are super skin-friendly!" for a noodle shop, or "They taste amazing! Kids love them! Already finished three pairs! Onto the fourth!" for a shoe store.; Tyco: Trust me, stores hit with such fake positive reviews will pay you to take them down!; Tyco: Pull this off, and you'll be rolling in double pay!; Karl: But seriously... have you ever felt guilty?; Tyco: Heh, you're too naive for that talk. You think these are shady moves? No, it's all part of commercial warfare!; Karl: You're ruining this industry! That's why the good review promoters like us get a bad reputation!; Tyco: Ruining this industry? Heh, what I've been doing is kicking you beginners out! It's all part of my strategy for commercial warfare!; Karl: Ugh, you...!; Karl: Darn it! I'll toss back whatever junk you gave me right back at you!; (Karl throws something away...); (It's an HIA Commemorative Coin!)
