Primer List
Standard Primer: Combat Efficiency Optimization Test
Complete the following Standard Primer in Hollow Zero: Withered Domain to unlock:
Obtain two Advanced Resonium II of different types at the same time
The worst habit possible here is working overtime. The effects of Hollow Zero's mutated Corruption are no laughing matter — working overtime there could really kill people. To make our investigations and explorations more efficient, I hope to verify exactly how much help Advanced Resonia can provide in combat. Your squad's combat data provides a highly valuable reference. So, please make sure to clock out soon, okay?

The process of obtaining information is divided into various steps, including perception, attention, memory, understanding, problem-solving, and more. For a long time, the research at Scott Outpost has faced significant challenges, particularly at the perception and attention stages. However, with the concerted efforts of your investigation squad... (1,000+ words abridged)

Captain of the Independent Investigation Team... Is that your title? Um... Hello! I'm from the squad behind you in the operation, and my captain wants me to learn how to properly "reap" Constricting Vines from you... He said if I leave another stump behind... Wait!

I must admit I never expected such achievements from you. I must salute you and your team. However, Ray seems to regret sending you to the battlefield... I'm not your superior officer, so please take this as a piece of advice from someone who respects you and your peers: On this battlefield, whatever your mission, you must always remind yourself that you must survive to see another day.
