Greetings
All invitation messages sent by the player to Zhao will begin in one of the following ways:
Xiao'Zhao! / You there?
Xiao'Zhao!
You there?
What's wrong?
?
After several days of intense investigation and Q&A sessions at presentations, even I have become exhausted — my social battery is completely drained.
I'll get out of your hair then.
I was gonna hit you up to hang out.
Didn't you say you were worn out?
Didn't you say you were socially drained?
Oh, you're different! These past few days, because of work, I've had to carefully weigh every single word I say to everyone, evaluating the real needs and value behind each conversation.
But with you, I don't have to think at all — we can just keep chatting away. Talking to you actually recharges my social battery, and I need that energy boost!
How've you been lately? / How's work been going lately?
How've you been lately?
What a coincidence! I had just typed out this message on my phone, but before I could even send it, yours came through first!
As for me, things have been pretty smooth lately, both in life and work — no major headaches. It's going well, but kinda boring, you know... How about you?
Same.
Me too.
Bored? Come hang out with me!
Bored? Wanna meet up?
Looks like my hands haven't gotten slow yet.
Never underestimate a Proxy's quick hands.
Agreed!
So, where should we go?
Something super cute? Just look in the mirror!
Something super cute? Just take a look at your own photo!
Invitations
Port Elpis
Sweet! Facing the ocean, munching on fries while watching seagulls do the same — this is exactly the chill vibe I need right now.
Let's meet at the pathway intersection in Port Elpis! Right under the billboard with the big fish on it — I'll be waiting for you!

Ah...
Oh no...
Sorry! Got caught up in some stuff!
I'd never do it again!
Sixth Street
(Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but when you say cute shopkeeper... are you talking about yourself, Wise?Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but when you say cute shopkeeper... are you talking about yourself, Wise? / Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but the only cute shopkeeper I know of... is you, Belle.Really? I don't go to Sixth Street much, but the only cute shopkeeper I know of... is you, Belle.)
No no no, there's a doggy shopkeeper!
That's not it. The newsstand shopkeeper is a little dog.
Come see for yourself!
Seeing is believing!
Well then, it's on Sixth Street, right? Let's meet at the Sixth Street metro station entrance, and you can take me to see that adorable shopkeeper!

Oh, I forgot!
Sorry, I was super busy!
Never mind, I wasn't really prepared when I went out yesterday. Only remembered halfway that I should've grabbed some pet treats. I'll be better prepared next time.
Leave the preparations to me next time!
I'll handle the treats.
Blazewood
The Outer Ring... Not many people go there, and I rarely go myself. But come to think of it, it's actually perfect for clearing my mind.
Let's go check out Blazewood.
Blazewood's pretty cool.
Alright, it's settled then. I remember there's a prominent elevator in Blazewood — let's meet up at the lower level of it.

Ah...
Oh no...
Good news is, I've been staring at mountains and tumbleweeds for hours, and my social battery is finally recharged!
Sorry! Got caught up in some stuff!
I'd never do it again!
Failume Heights
Oh, you mean that pet shop called Fluffy? Nice, I haven't been there in a while. Maybe they've got some new cuties in stock!
See you at Failume Heights then!
- (The player failed to show up)
Sorry, I forgot...
Sorry! Too busy then...
Don't flake on me next time, okay? At Krampus, pulling something like this would cost you a whole week of afternoon tea treats for the entire office.
I can treat you to afternoon tea.
Let me make it up to you with afternoon tea for a week!
Video Store Promoter Event
Requires Trust Rank: Friendly
- (After accepting Commission: Niche Film)
Yeah, there's one right outside my place.
Yeah, I know one right across from my place.
Sorry, let me rephrase that — you know a film called "The Convenience Store"? It's quite an obscure one.
Yeah, I know, it's pretty niche stuff.
I've collected it, but haven't listed it yet.
Great! The movie got pulled from theaters due to poor ticket sales, that's why I wanted to ask you about it.
Not only do you know about it, but you've kept the tape... No exaggeration, when it comes to variety, your tiny video store already outshines many major chain businesses.
If you wanna check it out, I've got playback equipment in my shop.
Feel free to drop by my shop!
