Here’s a handy guide to Zhu Yuan’s Trust Events in ZZZ.

Zhu Yuan is finally a playable character in Zenless Zone Zero. This means you can start meeting her in trust events. Check out this Zhu Yuan trust event guide to max out your relationship with her, stat!

Zhu Yuan Tape Requirement: More Than One Truth

As part of progressing her Trust, Zhu Yuan will request the "More Than One Truth" tape via DM after the rank-up quest to Friendly.

This tape is acquired by reaching Video Store Level 6. This naturally happens after you reach Inter-Knot level 40, clear the Chapter 1 Main Story, and finish the "Black Dance Shoes" side mission.

Once you have the tape, Zhu Yuan will appear inside Random Play the following Midnight to watch it with you.

Zhu Yuan Trust Event guide

Note that you need to have obtained Zhu Yuan to begin her Trust Events and progress past a certain point in the Main Story.

Bolded choices give a Trust Increase. For Invitations via DM, there will be a Significant Trust Increase in most cases, no matter which choices you pick.

Manager, I'm over here.

  • I could see you a mile away...
  • Why are you in uniform?

Dear citizens, please keep a safe distance from others around you. Beware of the risks of crowding!

  • Wow, that was quick...
  • Clocking in for OT already?

Person in a Unique Outfit: I didn't know you're into this...

  • You guys... this is really...
  • Please, this isn't a joke.

Invite Event: Hot-Pot Restaurant, Lumina Square

There really are tons of people here. What do you think? Should we just pick a random restaurant, or do you want to stand in line?

  • Hmm, I can't make my mind up...
  • What do you want to do, Zhu Yuan?

Sounds pretty good to me! No wonder they've received a flood of good reviews. The service is great.

  • Nice. Where's the menu?
  • So how shall we order, then?

Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: Portions of beef, Iamb, beef balls, squid balls, yam, tofu, lettuce, herbs, and potato for the veggies. Plus, there's a serving of noodles.

  • We'll take an Eternal Flame set then, please...
  • We'll take that one, then...

Hot Pot Restaurant Employee: The line isn't that long today. You should get a seat in about two hours. You're lucky.

  • Two hours?!
  • Well, seeing as we're here...

Random Event: Near Howl, Sixth Street

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.

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!

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...

...

  • Sorry! I let go too soon...
  • A-Are you alright, Zhu Yuan?

Random Event: Dew Gardening Shop, Lumina Square

Orchidea: Some are indeed a bit 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?

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?

Random Event: Convenience Store, Lumina Square

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.
  • Please give me some of your luck.

Random Event: Richard Teamilk, Lumina Square

I'm so confused. I got today's new flavor for free. What should I do?

  • Are you lining up for a free teamilk?
  • You seem pretty torn about something there, Zhu Yuan.

Really? Is it that obvious? It really shouldn't be… This store is actually pushing their new line of "Tea Egg teamilk."

  • What a unique new flavor!
  • What a weird taste...

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.

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?

Random Event: Random Play, Sixth Street

This event only happens on Midnight.

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!

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!

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?

I can't tell you.

  • What is it?
  • Will it be dangerous?

Can't say.

  • Is there anything you CAN say?
  • ... Your job is so cool.

Ah…! Manager, sorry, did I wake you up?

  • No.
  • You fell asleep fast!

Random Event: In front of 141 Convenience Store, Sixth Street

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...

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.
  • This conversation suddenly just got a whole lot more interesting.

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?

"Who was that person just now? Why don't you invite them over for dinner?" — that kind of stuff…

  • Classic mom nagging.
  • I wanna try your mom's cooking, Zhu Yuan!

Random Event: Old Duyi Physiotherapy Studio, Lumina Square

This shop is right across Coff Cafe.

Old Duyi: O—okay, I—leave it to m-—me…

  • Is this... a new vibration mode?
  • Old Duyi... are you shivering?

Is Old Duyi okay? It's all my fault…

  • A spine for a spine... It's only fair.
  • This is called the law of conservation of spines...

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.

Random Event: NEPS, Lumina Square

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...

Ah, wait, we cannot accept personal gifts from civilians… Miss? Hey…!

  • She's gone...
  • How did she manage to talk with a heart emoji?
