Main characters Zenless Zone Zero, Weiss and Belle, in addition to secretly working as proxies, are also very successful entrepreneurs - they manage the family video rental Random Play. From the very first acts, players have the opportunity to personally regulate the work of the business, install recommended tapes for the day and find promoters - all this brings additional income to Denny and some resources for raising levels and talents agents, and amplifiers.

In this guide, we'll cover in detail what it's like to manage a Random Play video rental store in ZZZ: how to start a working day, attract new staff, upgrade your counter level, and expand your video collection.

How to Manage Video Rentals in Zenless Zone Zero

Our involvement in managing the main proxy business begins with the story mission " Prologue: Interlude ", together with the development of infrastructure Sixth street.

The Family Video Store has a separate window among the fast travel locations of New Eridu. Open the general map ( "M" key on PC ) and select "Random Play" and then navigate to counter on the 1st floor of the building - so you will find yourself in front of the workplace of the Eighteenth, the appointed brother and sister of the Banbu seller.

Go to the rabbit behind the cash register and click on the interaction button when the gray arrows ( "F" on PC ). So it will open business management menu, in which you can:

• View current movie topics for the current working day (blue spines in the upper left corner);
• Check if the conditions for receiving additional rewards are met (line under genres);
• Select a promoter;
• Select three cassettes of suitable genres for which increased demand is expected;
• Find out the current video rental level (lower left corner of the screen);
• “Start working!” by clicking on the button of the same name opposite the statistics of the flow of clients and days per hour.

Game process

The video rental gameplay consists of several key stages:

• Preparing for the work day : receiving yesterday's revenue, then viewing current genres and selecting video tapes + calling a promoter;
• Individual work with customers : from time to time, customers need help finding a movie; they stand at the counter and wait for the consultant to help them. The better you hit their preferences, the more denny you earn. The main thing is to read the request carefully;
• Monitoring the status of promoters : all enthusiasts who volunteered to advertise Random Play have a mood indicator - if you choose a promoter too often, his condition will worsen, and he will temporarily be unable to go to work;
• Add to your cassette collection : The more movies you have in your library, the higher your daily video rental revenue will be.

A little more detail about how "Random Play" works can be found in the levels tab (two screenshots above). Next, we will consider all stages of trading separately.

Opening of a video rental store

One of the tasks before the start of the working day is Selecting a Promoter (the one who will distribute leaflets with advertising). Each employee has their own style of presentation, target flow and mood - if it is low, the character will not be able to help with the promotion of the video rental.

The second task is to compose shelves of recommended video tapes. You need to select manually three copies of films , which will correspond current topics (in the selection window they are listed on the bottom panel and light up blue when you select a tape of the appropriate genre). Use filters in the upper right corner of the screen to sort the tapes and quickly select the assortment. In addition to genres, pay attention to the tape level - it also affects the revenue.

When the video rental reaches level 6, the " Cassette recommendations ", by pressing which, the films will be selected automatically .

Finally, return to the main Doing Business window and confirm start of work, after which already it won't be possible to change selected films or promoters.

Daily Balance: Rewards for Doing Business

Before the start of each working day, we are shown statistics for the previous day: the number of customers and total revenue. In addition to the earned denny, depending on the chosen promoter, the rewards may include:

• Patches banbu, newbie magazines and batteries amplifier (Eighteenth, Heddy, Travis, Syal and other NPCs).
• Basic attribute chips and banbu patches (A or S class agents).

The number of awards depends on the video rental levels and Internet, as well as the cassettes selected for the day in current genres - and all these parameters together determine the store's traffic and the number of customers.

How to fulfill individual customer requests

Pay attention to the NPCs that sometimes stand near the counter - such clients need help with finding a specific movie. Some know the name of the tape, but there are also those who only give a description of the plot. After talking to such a visitor, click on the Eighteenth, study the request and go to the collection of films to choose the best option.

Fulfilling individual requests is important not only for profit, but also for the chance that the client will decide help with video rental advertising (i.e. will become a promoter). The table below shows all the recommendations and tapes.

Nostalgic Girl's Application

A young schoolgirl, remembering the youth of her loved ones, is looking for something, conveying the spirit of the past . Recommend her to watch a movie from the category Retro , For example, " Return to Gailo ".

Vacationing Housewife's Request: Banbu Family Movie

The vacationing housewife, a woman in glasses with a green headscarf, will come to our video rental more than once. The first time she will ask for a film about banbu family . The best choice - " Karl family » with genre Family .

Vacationing Housewife Request: Movie Where People Turn Into Banba

On the second visit, the mother, tired of family worries, asks for a cassette tape in which people turn into banba . The film " answers this request. Small body, big problems! " V comedy genre.

Application of a girl in love

Another visitor disillusioned with the fake love of movie stars needs a job, based on real events . You can offer her romantic movie " The last flight ".

How to attract promoters

With the involvement of NPC promoters It's simple - they come with a custom order, and if their request is met, they can offer advertising assistance on a voluntary basis. Here are the requirements for cooperation with some clients:

• Heddy - the film "Non-existence" (retro);
• Travis - the film "Star Knight" (adventure);
• Syal — the film "Do not touch" (science fiction).

Banbu 18 initially works with Weiss and Belle, so he is on the promoter list from the very beginning of the game.

Getting agents involved in business is much more complicated: you need increase the level of trust and carry out special orders to find tapes for characters. Such an order appears after raising friendship to the second level "Sympathy" - we will receive a message from the character asking to find a certain film. When the trust mission is completed, the hero will automatically appear in the list of promoters.

To attract the epic Class A Agent, it will be enough to get the level of "Sympathy" and complete the request to search for the tape, and for S class agents I'll have to raise it too Internet level up to 40 (along with which the 6th level of “Random Play” opens, however this is not always a mandatory condition).
