Agent: Zhu Yuan
- (Idle)
- Resolute Kitty: Meow~ Meow!
- Zhu Yuan: Hmm... Why do you keep staring at me like that?
- (Approach Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: Excuse me kitty, can you let me through? Ah, how can I make you understand?
- Resolute Kitty: Meow?
- Zhu Yuan: ...Well, you don't look like you understand at all.
- Zhu Yuan: Ah, Manager! Perfect timing. Could you help me lure this cat away?
C'mere, kitty kitty!
Good kitties don't stare at people like that. Come over here~
- Zhu Yuan: Phew — thank you so much. I'm not good with small animals like cats.
- Zhu Yuan: Hmm! Looks like you're enjoying it?
Our mighty Officer Zhu Yuan is afraid of cats?
Hmm? Are you afraid of cats?
- Zhu Yuan: Not exactly. I mean, they can't threaten your life or anything. I just...
- Zhu Yuan: I don't really understand why everyone loves these small animals so much. All that fluff is a pain to deal with.
- Zhu Yuan: Sixth Street has too many cats. Every time we're here on patrols, we have to avoid crossing their paths.
- Zhu Yuan: Most of the time, the cats leave us alone. Except for this one cat, who was dead set on interfering with public affairs.
- Zhu Yuan: It's like he wants to test me, just has to rub against me no matter what. I don't know what to do.
Kitty... I'm on your side!
Kitty, go get her!
Sorry, kitty, you should give up...
- Resolute Kitty: Meow!!!
- Spotting the perfect moment, the kitty makes a dash at Zhu Yuan, enthusiastically rubbing up and down her calf five whole times! With a look that declares "You're my hooman meow!" the kitty happily trots off.
- Zhu Yuan: Ahhhh, I just got a ton of fur on me. Great...
- Zhu Yuan: I never took you for a cat person, Manager. This world really isn't kind to us who aren't into fluffy animals.
That's right. This is war!
- Zhu Yuan: ...I don't recommend hurting each other like this. Peace is the only way.
I'm actually pretty neutral about fluffy animals.
- Significant Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- Zhu Yuan: Oh? So you and I are on the same team. You know, we're in the minority.
That kitty wanted you.
- Zhu Yuan: Yeah, like I said — He's out here to get me and I don't know what to do with him.
- Zhu Yuan: Hmm, after all that, we're just going to have to let it go. I swear...
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: Ahhh, there's so much fur on me...
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: After all that back and forth, he still managed to get me...
- (Idle)
- Howl: Woof!
- Zhu Yuan: "Woof" means that nothing happened... right?
- Howl: Woof!
- Zhu Yuan: So "Woof" also means yes?
- (Approach Zhu Yuan)
- Howl: Woof!
- Zhu Yuan: "Woof" means that nothing happened... right?
- Howl: Woof!
- Zhu Yuan: So "Woof" also means yes?
- Zhu Yuan seems to be struggling to decipher the canine language.
Excited to see you buying scratch cards, Howl is barking up a storm, challenging Zhu Yuan's vocabulary... - Zhu Yuan: Finally, a human. What a relief. I was just patrolling. There's nothing strange going on, is there?
Nah. Cracking pupper speak isn't going well, huh?
Your last interpretation was spot on.
- Zhu Yuan: How do you manage to converse with Howl back and forth five times and still fully understand him?
- Zhu Yuan: You successfully bought scratch cards too... Let me see, how's your luck—Oh!
- Zhu Yuan: Your scratching... is so messy!
- Zhu Yuan: Huh? Why sweat the small stuff like "the scratch card layers are not fully scratched off"?
- Zhu Yuan: Today's job is patrolling! Stay focused! ...Ugh!
Zhu Yuan... would you like to scratch this?
If it bothers you that much, take this and scratch it!
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- Zhu Yuan: But playing scratch cards on duty...
Think of it as a way to get used to messy stuff.
If I don't tell, and Howl doesn't tell...
- Zhu Yuan: Hm... let me think about it...
- The moment Zhu Yuan reaches for the scratch card, you subconsciously let go — the scratch card drifts into the sewer like a tumbleweed in the wind...
- Zhu Yuan: ...
Sorry! I let go too soon...
A—Are you alright, Zhu Yuan?
- Zhu Yuan: The world is chaos... nothing is predictable... I've moved on... you should too...
I've never picked it up.
- Zhu Yuan: Good... That's good.
You're the one who hasn't put it down!
- Zhu Yuan: ...I'll get back to patrolling.
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: The world is chaotic... let it go...
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: How many unscratched scratch cards are out there in this world at any given time?

Agent: Zhu Yuan
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: Mmm, mmm. Yup, it's fine. Go ahead.
- (Approach Zhu Yuan)
- You bump into Zhu Yuan while taking a stroll around Sixth Street. She's chatting on the public phone.
- Zhu Yuan: Remember to eat on time when you're out and about. Make sure you finish all the fruit I got for you, and don't throw it away because I'll check when I come back.
- Zhu Yuan: Oh hey, Manager. Sorry, can you give me a moment? I'm on the phone with my Mom and I can't hang up on her.
Who is whose mother???
What a magical mother-daughter conversation...
- Zhu Yuan: Hehe.
- Zhu Yuan: Ah, no. Go on, it's okay. Hmm? Your Bangboo's face... is suddenly spinning around in circles...?
- Zhu Yuan: That's because Bangboo need regular software updates... You mean, it hasn't been updated since I was there last time...?
- Zhu Yuan: That's just how it is. Your software version is probably outdated. You'll have to go to a charging station to get online and update it.
- Zhu Yuan: First, find one of those plug-in Bangboo charging stations. Can you see one over there?
- Zhu Yuan: ...No way. There are plenty of charging stations throughout the city. Keep looking for one.
- Zhu Yuan: Hmm, what does it look like... there're yellow rails and a hole in the ground that you can stuff a Bangboo into.
- Zhu Yuan: Hmm, nope. Normal wireless charging stations won't do. It has to be one with a hole in the ground.
- Zhu Yuan: I'm very sorry. I'm trying to teach my mom how to update her Bangboo's software, and it might take a while...
That's cool. I didn't mean to disturb you.
- Zhu Yuan: Thanks for your understanding, Manager.
This conversation suddenly just got a whole lot more interesting
- Zhu Yuan: Remote support for our parents is always... Well, it's my fault I suppose. If I'd been paying proper attention, none of this would've happened.
- The Bangboo is finally updated...
What unimaginable things remain suppressed beneath Zhu Yuan's calm tone? It may be best if you never find out... - Zhu Yuan: Phew~ Those people who share online tutorials must be saints!
- Zhu Yuan: But technology changes so quickly these days that it's hard for older people to keep up.
- Zhu Yuan: It seems we could include some courses to help middle-aged and senior citizens cope better with new technology as part of our community outreach.
- Zhu Yuan: Ah, I'm sorry for losing myself in my work there. Mom just asked me to say hello to you, Manager.
Huh? Me?
How did I come up in the conversation?
- Zhu Yuan: Ah, I guess she just heard me talking with you then. I thought it was weird too. She kept asking me several times.
- Zhu Yuan: "Who was that person just now? Why don't you invite them over for dinner?" — that kind of stuff...
Classic mom nagging.
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- Zhu Yuan: Actually, when we were small, she'd never nag us — she only started once I'd graduated as a Public Security officer.
- Zhu Yuan: Perhaps she's worried about my safety, I guess — and that's why she's always worrying over every last detail.
- Zhu Yuan: There's really nothing I can do about her other than repay her with even more nagging.
I wanna try your mom's cooking, Zhu Yuan!
- Zhu Yuan: Ah, well actually Dad is better at cooking.
- Zhu Yuan: If you're keen, I can invite you over next time. But it'll just be a few ordinary home-cooked dishes.
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: Those Bangboo charging stations could be a little more obvious...
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: The people who make all those online tutorials must be saints!

- Zhu Yuan: Someone familiar on Sixth Street... I can only think of the Manager.
- Zhu Yuan: But I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries here?
- (Approach Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: Manager! I was just wondering whether or not to reach out to you when you just popped up out of nowhere.
What do you want from me?
I guess we're psychically linked!
- Zhu Yuan: I've just been attending to a dispute, and there's another case coming up that will require my attendance.
- Zhu Yuan: If I rush back home or go back to the precinct before I have to head back, I won't have any time at all to rest.
- Zhu Yuan: So I was wondering if it's at all convenient — is there any way I could possibly take a nap in your store?
- Zhu Yuan: Just anywhere I could lie down would be fine, even the floor.
Yep, sure, be my guest! No problem!
Sleep on the bed! In the bedroom!
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- Zhu Yuan: That was a decisive response... Then I'll gladly oblige. Thank you for your offer.
How long do you want to rest?
Any missions coming up?
- Zhu Yuan: I can't tell you.
What is it?
Will it be dangerous?
- Zhu Yuan: Can't say.
Is there anything you CAN say?
- Zhu Yuan: The less you know, the better. I mean, you are a civilian after all, and I don't want to drag you into things.
...Your job is so cool.
- Zhu Yuan: What's with the sudden politeness? I thought we were closer than that.
- Despite thanking you from the bottom of her heart, Zhu Yuan only removes the minimum amount of equipment necessary and lies down to sleep, neatly dressed.
Judging by her breathing, she is out like a light in under a minute. - Several hours later, you awake to the sound of movement at the front door...
- Zhu Yuan: Ah...! Manager, sorry, did I wake you up?
No.
You fell asleep fast!
- Zhu Yuan: Really? We've had special training on how to nap quickly so we can rest even in critical situations. I'm able to weave in and out of sleep at a moment's notice.
- Zhu Yuan: Next time I get the chance, I'll teach you how to turbo-sleep. But so long for now, Manager — and thanks again!
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: Equipment... Yes, it's all here.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: So long for now, Manager. And thanks once again!

- Excited Girl: Officer Zhu Yuan, I—I have something very important to tell you!
- Zhu Yuan: Ah, you're the girl from last time. Hello.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: How are you? Recovering well? I think you broke a bone last time.
- Excited Girl: Y—you're concerned about my well-being? I—I'm all better now!
- Excited Girl: If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten away with just a broken arm.
- Excited Girl: I—I came here today because I wanted to thank you in person!
- Zhu Yuan: You're welcome. Helping citizens in trouble is my duty. Just doing my job is all.
- Excited Girl: Ever since that day, you've been living rent free in my head!
- Excited Girl: From your amazing skills to your bold decision-making!
- Zhu Yuan: Haha, you're too kind. There are people in my squad who are far better than me.
- Excited Girl: You pursued relentlessly, and you held back when you needed to, and... and...
- Excited Girl: Your elegant uniform... and the silhouette of your tights hugging your...! Oh, my heart...!
- The excited girl was out of breath and looked ready to faint at any second.
Zhu Yuan reached out her hand to gently support her... - Zhu Yuan: Um... Are you okay?
- Excited Girl: *gasp*... I'm okay! I'm more than okay! Couldn't be better!
Okay, you're okay. Just take a deep breath...
That doesn't sound like a person who's okay...
- Excited Girl: A—anyway, here's a little token of my appreciation. Please accept it!
- Excited Girl: I'll be off then, Commander Zhu Yuan ❤~!
- The over-excited girl stuffed her present into Zhu Yuan's hand, then ran off without looking back...
- Zhu Yuan: Ah, wait, we cannot accept personal gifts from civilians... Miss? Hey...!
She's gone...
How did she manage to talk with a heart emoji?
- Zhu Yuan: Um... I don't really understand what just happened. But...
- Zhu Yuan: In the end, you helped a young citizen today, which is a good thing. It is a good thing... right?

- Ol Duyi: I—Is th—that Zh—Zhu Yuan? Welcome!
- Zhu Yuan: Old Duyi, I'm so sorry to trouble you again today!
- (Interact with Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: I've pulled some muscles in my back this time. Could you help me?
- Old Duyi: O—okay, l—leave it to m—me...
Is this... a new vibration mode?
Old Duyi... are you shivering?
- Zhu Yuan: Manager! How could you say that right to Old Duyi's face! He just stutters a little sometimes...
- Old Duyi: N—no, I—I d—don't n—normally s—stutter.
- Zhu Yuan: Huh? Then why is it every time I've met you before that you...
- Old Duyi: J—just like y-you doing a shoulder toss w—when your pressure p—points get pushed, I—I only s—stutter when I s—see you.
- Zhu Yuan: ...I'm so sorry! That was a reflex. How about we just forget about today? I'm going to head out...
- Old Duyi: W—wait a second! I—I will n—never leave an a—aching back untreated!
- Old Duyi: P—please sit d—down!
- Zhu Yuan: But...
- Old Duyi: T—there's nothing that I—I can't d—do with m—massage. Please r—respect my p—p—p—professional ethics!
- Zhu Yuan: Okay, if you insist!
- You tried counting how many times Old Duyi got thrown over Zhu Yuan's shoulder, but you lost count...
After finishing the massage, Old Duyi closed the shop to rest, apparently due to a herniated lumbar disc... - Zhu Yuan: Is Old Duyi okay? It's all my fault...
A spine for a spine... It's only fair.
- Zhu Yuan: An ancient code of laws from the old civilization? No modern law allows for retaliatory justice!
This is called the law of conservation of spines...
- Zhu Yuan: I know you're just trying to lighten up the mood with a joke. But, I'm sorry...
- Zhu Yuan: Most of the laws of conservation that you learned in middle school were only approximate values and were not actually conserved.
- Zhu Yuan: Anyway, I can't help but feel guilty! Old Duyi is suffering because of me...
It's his job, he knew the risks
He just wanted to loosen you up a bit
- Zhu Yuan: I understand. Typical Old Duyi. I probably would've done the same if it were me.
- Zhu Yuan: Come to think of it, the only masseur in all of New Eridu who can withstand my shoulder toss is Old Duyi.
- Zhu Yuan: I'm glad I got to know him. I have to be careful not to hurt him next time!
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: I still feel so guilty about it.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: Damn reflexes! I am NOT going to hurt Old Duyi next time!

- Orchidea: Zhu Yuan, are you here to pick up something?
- Zhu Yuan: I was patrolling nearby, so I thought I'd swing by.
- (Interact with Zhu Yuan)
- Orchidea: I've already packed them for you, 16 types of seeds. Make sure to count them.
- Zhu Yuan: Anything specific I should watch out for, like temperature or soil conditions?
- Orchidea: Some are indeed delicate, but I'm certain you'll manage.
I didn't know Zhu Yuan has a green thumb?!
Why would a Public Security Officer need gardening skills?
- Zhu Yuan: Huh? Is that weird? You know what they say, "If things don't work out, be sure to have a backup plan."
- Zhu Yuan: I was just experimenting at first, and it turned out to be quite fun.
- Zhu Yuan: I find happiness when seeing others enjoy the food I've grown... It's like my inner farmer awakening...
Enjoying the... food?
I thought you were growing flowers?
- Orchidea: Her interest isn't in flowers but vegetables, except for broccoli, heheh~
- Zhu Yuan: Manager, from your surprised look, you seem unaware that broccoli is actually made up of tiny flowers.
- Zhu Yuan: You should definitely try some after I harvest these, Manager.

- Zhu Yuan: That won't be necessary.
- (Interact with Zhu Yuan)
- The convenience store is selling Lucky Star Donuts.
There's a chance you could get a star-shaped donut. If you do, something special will happen~ - Qingyi: I've decided! I'm going to buy a whole box because that at least gets me one Lucky Star Donut, and I can share the rest with everyone.
- Qingyi: I've needed my own lucky star for quite a while now... Oh! There's THREE in this box — what luck!
- Zhu Yuan: This is a shameless campaign taking advantage of people's superstitions. Qingyi, how did you manage to fall for this?
- While wandering around Lumina Square, you encounter a duo buying donuts.
You cannot help but join in on their conversation. Public Security officers and donuts...
- Qingyi: Correct. As Public Security officers, it is our duty to eat donuts.
- Zhu Yuan: Please don't believe in movie stereotypes. You should watch fewer videotapes, Qingyi.
- Zhu Yuan: And anyway, haven't you always snubbed non-traditional foods like this? "Oh, that's not to my taste," or whatever.
- Qingyi: Ah, I simply want to get my hands on some Lucky Star Donuts.
- Zhu Yuan: Your training data is all based on records from the Old Civilization, right?
- Zhu Yuan: Assuming that it really does make you luckier; would a modern food like donuts really work on an ancient body like yours?
- Qingyi: Who said donuts are only a modern food? You think too little of your ancestors.
- Qingyi: In the ancient classics of the Old Civilization, there are records of ring-shaped desserts such as Dough Hoops.
Lucky Star Donuts aren't ring-shaped.
- Qingyi: I guess so. It takes quite the effort to find star-shaped pastries in history books...
- Qingyi: Here's some luck for a young soul, then. Zhu Yuan, come here~ Aaah~
- Zhu Yuan: ...Ahh.
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
Please give me some of your luck.
- Zhu Yuan: Even the manager...
- Qingyi: Now the manager and I are both blessed by luck, so if anything terrible were to occur right now — you'd be in big trouble, Zhu Yuan.
- Qingyi: Do you want to give it a try? Doesn't it smell so good, fresh out of the oven? Come try this~ Aah~
- Zhu Yuan: ...Ahh.
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: It's good.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: Don't get me wrong — I just wanted a donut.
- Zhu Yuan: It's got nothing to do with whether or not they're lucky!

- Tin Master: Normal ice, less ice, or no ice?
- Zhu Yuan: I'll have the MAXIMUM ice, please!
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan)
- Tin Master: Maximum ice will greatly dilute your coffee, which I don't recommend. Are you sure you want that much?
- Zhu Yuan: Absolutely. I want the cup so full of ice you can't fit another cube in there — please!
You're a big fan of ice cold drinks, Zhu Yuan?
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- Zhu Yuan: Not particularly. It's just that Qingyi always serves me hot tea at the precinct...
It's not the healthiest to have so much ice...
- Zhu Yuan: Are you Qingyi in disguise? You've already given me enough hot tea at the office...
- Zhu Yuan: Why this obsession with hot drinks? And all those theories like "hot water is good for your health"?
- Zhu Yuan: If you asked me which type of water has the fewest health risks, I'd say neither hot nor cold — but warm water.
- Zhu Yuan: But I like iced drinks! Never mind, no way I can get Qingyi to stop with her hot water fixation...
- As Zhu Yuan speaks, Qingyi suddenly enters the coffee shop.
"Your maximum iced coffee is ready!" Tin Master places the coffee between you and Zhu Yuan... - Qingyi: You're here too, Zhu Yuan? Are you buying coffee?
- Zhu Yuan: (Uh, n—no. I just happened to run into Wise when he was buying coffee.Uh, n—no. I just happened to run into Wise when he was buying coffee. /
Uh, —no. I just happened to run into Belle while she was buying coffee.Uh, —no. I just happened to run into Belle while she was buying coffee.) We're just chatting. - Qingyi: Oh~ This is (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)'s coffee, then? There's so much ice packed inside there. Oh, to be young! Haha~ Yep.
Really?
- Qingyi: Very well... so what are you waiting for, then? Go ahead and have a drink.
- Zhu Yuan: !!
Then I won't hold back, thank you...
- Qingyi: You bought it. Why are you being so polite?
Can I...?
- Qingyi: You bought it. Why not?
- (Both choices lead to the following)
I'll drink it then?
- You down the whole cup of iced coffee right in front of Zhu Yuan...
- Zhu Yuan: ...!!
- Qingyi: Ah~ All in one go. Impressive!
- Qingyi: But even for a youngster like yourself, too much iced coffee isn't great for your health. I recommend some piping hot tea, right Zhu Yuan?
- Zhu Yuan: Yeah, you're right...
- (Idle)
- Qingyi: You don't seem too well. Would you like some tea?
- Zhu Yuan: No no, I'm really excited...

- Zhu Yuan: You two...
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan)
- Impulsive Student: Why won't you let us in? On what grounds?
- Rebellious Student: Hmph! You Public Security officers are nothing but shackles clamping down on your free will! I will never surrender to you!
- Zhu Yuan: Alright, alright, you finished all your homework today? Whitney, please you you escort them both to the precinct?
- Whitney: Sure, no problem!
- Rebellious Student: Huh?! Are you actually going to take us into custody?
- Impulsive Student: What? Aren't you forgetting — we're just students.
Are they getting booked? That's rough...
- Zhu Yuan: You misunderstand, Manager. The two of them just broke into a dangerous building.
Being a student is a double-edged blade, huh.
- Zhu Yuan: Right. Because you're "just a student," so that means you shouldn't be trespassing — right?
- Zhu Yuan: The whole building is currently undergoing testing for Etheric matter. It's been blocked off while we determine whether or not it's safe.
- Zhu Yuan: Just in case, let's go back to the precinct and check corruption levels. Do you want me to notify your parents?
- Rebellious Student: You—You wanna call my parents?
- Impulsive Student: You can't just rat us out like that! How is a PubSec officer allowed to publicize a kid's mistakes without permission?!
- Zhu Yuan: Publicizing citizen mistakes is a function of Public Security, thought~ Here, take my phone and call your parents!
- Rebellious Student: I.. Can I just say... that you're our teacher, and we're being kept for detention after class?
- Zhu Yuan: Promise not to do it again, and I'll promise, too.
- Rebellious Student: Okay, okay...
- After calling their parents, the two students dutifully follow Whitney to the precinct to undergo Ether testing...
- Zhu Yuan: To quote Qingyi — "Kids these days..."
Everyone gets rebellious at times, right?
- Significant Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- Zhu Yuan: Huh? Are you talking about me, Manager?
You've never done anything bad in your life before, Zhu Yuan?
- trust?
I take that back. Of course, you haven't, Zhu Yuan!
- Zhu Yuan: ...When I was a kid, there were one or to occasions that I can remember.
Which were?
- Zhu Yuan: But that's all trivial and not worth talking about at all.
Please tell me!!!
What do you mean? C'mon, it can be your confession!
- Transcription missing [verification needed]
- Zhu Yuan: You're a rather strange person, Manager.
- Zhu Yuan: Well, it's nothing serious. I just used to argue with my teacher in the roundabout way.
- Zhu Yuan: Back in highschool, we had this math teacher called Mr. Yan who you could tell looked down on the humanities subjects.
- Zhu Yuan: One time during final exams there were then subjects, and I deliberately scored a pattern of results that hid a special meaning:
- Zhu Yuan: 77, 114, 89, 97, 110, 83, 117, 99, 107, 115.
- Zhu Yuan: There's a real sense of pleasure derived from using the humanities to brutally destroy someone at math.
So you managed to accurately coordinate your exam scores...
- Zhu Yuan: Mmm, it's not controlling your scores that's the difficult part — it's explaining yourself to each teacher afterward...
What's that supposed to mean?
- Zhu Yuan: It definitely doesn't mean anything good, so please don't ask again about that, Manager.
- Zhu Yuan: *sigh* To put together this string of scores, I had to deliberately bomb in many subjects and lose my spot as the top student in the grade.
- Zhu Yuan: So there's always a price for being bad.
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: *sigh* There's always a price for being bad.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)

You look a little closer, and she seems quite pale, and nowhere near as energetic as usual... - Zhu Yuan: I'm sorry about that, Manager. I didn't notice you just then.
Everything okay? Do you have a fever?
Are you feeling a little sick, Zhu Yuan?
- Zhu Yuan: I'm fine, not feeling sick.
I don't believe you. Let me check you over.
If you're feeling fine, let me feel your forehead then.
- Zhu Yuan: Alright. But I swear I'm not lying to you. I'm definitely not feeling sick.
- Zhu Yuan obediently accepts your palm on her forehead and it doesn't feel as though she has a fever.
Just as you're about to say as much, you suddenly realize something is wrong: you have yet to trigger Zhu Yuan's infamous shoulder toss... - Zhu Yuan: No fever, right? I told you, I'm not feeling sick.
You must be sick if you haven't thrown me over your shoulder yet.
If you weren't sick, I'd be lying in a heap on the ground right now.
- Zhu Yuan: ...
Stop being so stubborn. Go to the pharmacy.
- Zhu Yuan: ...To prove that I'm not sick, I'll go to the pharmacy with you.
- Zhu Yuan doesn't have a fever in the end but is told that she's a little overworked.
After buying some vitamins, she is ordered to rest up and drink more hot water... - Zhu Yuan: Why is everyone always telling me to drink more hot water...?
- Zhu Yuan: It is true though that I've been working for almost a month straight... but doing overtime is unavoidable.
Gotta follow the doctor's orders.
What the doctor said is what's most important
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- Zhu Yuan: I know. I'll do back and rest. But I was right just then, right? I'm not sick, am I?
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: There's so much work to do... Looks like I'll have to leave it to everyone else then.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: I know. I'll go back and rest.

- Zhu Yuan: Another free giveaway?
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: I'm so confused. I got today's new flavor for free. What should I do?
Are you lining up for a free teamilk?
- Zhu Yuan: No, I'm not in line. Are you interested in this new tea egg flavor teamilk, Manager?
You seem pretty torn about something there, Zhu Yuan.
- Zhu Yuan: Really? Is it that obvious? It really shouldn't be... This store is actually pushing their new line of "Tea Egg teamilk."
- (Both choices lead to the following)
What a unique new flavor!
- Zhu Yuan: Well, it's pretty creative. It's one of those acquired tastes that seem strange a first sight.
What a weird taste...
- Zhu Yuan: In fact, I thought so too when I first got one. I never expected it to actually taste so amazing.
- Zhu Yuan: But there's a condition on their promo — only one cup per person. So I'm already ineligible for another...
- Zhu Yuan: Let me fight this urge to get another cup. If you're interested, Manager, then please go ahead.
Nobody is going to care about that kind of thing.
Just step up like you own the place and grab one.
- Zhu Yuan: I can't break the rules, Manager — why would you say something so unscrupulous right to my face?
- Zhu Yuan: Even if some rules seem like they're trivial, they still form the baseline for smooth relations in this world we live in. Please respect them.
Can I just go and get it for you?
Is it breaking the rules if I go and get it?
- Zhu Yuan: Huh? Are you saying, dear Manager, that you'd be willing to give me your share? There are no rules that say you can't do that...
- You claim a free cup of Tea Egg teamilk.
The two of you savor a cup of teamilk at Zhu Yuan's insistence, and it taste incredible... - Zhu Yuan: Delicious. I hope they end the promo soon so I can come back every day and get one.
- Zhu Yuan: Otherwise, who knows when I'll be able to get my next fix?
When was your last cup?
- Zhu Yuan: About one week ago.
One week ago...
- Zhu Yuan: Don't look at me like that. Rules are rules.
- Zhu Yuan: I'm not hesitating out of fear of being recognized by one of the staff...
- Trust increase with Zhu Yuan
- (Idle)
- Zhu Yuan: Delicious.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan again, optional)
- Zhu Yuan: You seem to like it too, right, Manager? Shall we come back and get another next time?

- Zhu Yuan: Manager, please wait.
- (Talk to Zhu Yuan)
- Zhu Yuan: Please don't pull that face. We only called you in because it's good news.
- Zhu Yuan: Just a friendly reminder: Looking panicked when a public security officer pulls up is a good way to trigger some of our professional habits.
I don't look panicked!
I'll have you know I look very dignified!
- Zhu Yuan: That's an exaggeration, Manager. Here's the thing: the precinct has a batch of obsolete equipment that we want to give back to the people.
- Zhu Yuan: It might all be second-hand stuff, but the quality and performance both outstrip what's out there on the civilian market.
- Zhu Yuan: And it's free. Do you want a device, Manager?
Okay!
I've always been curious about Public Security equipment!
- Zhu Yuan: Mmm, take this then. And you'll have to fill out a quick survey after taking it.
- Zhu Yuan: Your name, age, and address — I can fill those out for you later. I'll ask you about the rest, and you just tell me your answers, okay?
- Zhu Yuan: Question one: Do you have a record of criminal violence? Do you often find it difficult to empathize with others?
- Zhu Yuan: Do you often feel as though you cannot control your rage? Do you feel as though others wish to harm you, or want to undermine you?
Hang on, what kind of questions are these?
- Zhu Yuan: It's just criminal psychology and behavioral analysis. It only provides a marco-level understanding of a citizen's crimial risk assessment.
Why do I feel like I'm being interrogated here...?
- Zhu Yuan: It's not that dramatic. It's just a criminal psychology and behavioral analysis. If you're worried about privacy, you're welcome to fill it out yourself.
- You have completed all 276 questions in the criminal psychology and behavioral analysis...
- Zhu Yuan: Your criminal psychological score is 47 points. I never expected that score from you, Manager.
What does 47 points even mean?
Is that high, or low?
- Zhu Yuan: That is something I cannot tell you. You only have to right to check your own score. What it means is confidential.
But I really curious...
That's a waste...
- Zhu Yuan: Well, I'll give you a little friendly reminder.
- Zhu Yuan: I feel like you're kind of person who'd get your personal information stolen by a sack of potatoes, or like you'd download any old weird app to your phone.
Next time, please don't be so willing to claim free stuff — except, of course, if it comes from Public Security.

- Zhu Yuan: Your score is 47 points, Manager. Hmm...
