Well now, let me tell ya about this poor fella, the Hapless Man, in that game Zenless Zone Zero. It’s a funny thing, I tell ya. This poor soul, he’s all down in the dumps, sittin’ there with a look like he’s been through a storm and didn’t have no umbrella. Folks in the game, they call him the Hapless Man ’cause he just don’t seem to catch a break, not one! Now, you might be thinkin’, “What’s the big deal with this man?” But I’ll tell ya, his whole story is somethin’ that tugs at the heartstrings. He’s searchin’ for somethin’ to take his mind off his troubles, somethin’ to make him feel a bit better.
Now, this game Zenless Zone Zero, it ain’t just any ol’ game. It’s one of them fancy action RPGs where you get to play as a Proxy, doin’ all kinds of jobs for folks. And let me tell ya, these jobs ain’t easy. But the Hapless Man? Well, his job is to find a tragic movie that’ll help him deal with his woes. That’s right! He’s lookin’ for somethin’ sad to watch, maybe to match the sad state he’s in. So what does he pick? Well, he picks a film called “Black Tales,” a real heartbreaker, if you ask me. Poor man just wants somethin’ to drown his sorrows in.
Now, if you’re playin’ Zenless Zone Zero and you come across the Hapless Man, you’ll have to help him out with this little quest. You gotta recommend him the right movie, and let me tell ya, it ain’t as easy as it sounds. If you don’t know what you’re doin’, you might end up messin’ it up, and that poor fella’ll stay sad as ever. So, listen close: to make him happy, you gotta pick the right movie from the video store. There’s this little trick, see? You gotta filter the genres, and pick “Tragic”—that’s where the magic happens.
Once you filter for Tragic, you’ll see two options pop up. But the one you want is “Black Tales,” a real tearjerker, just like he’s lookin’ for. Pick that one, and I swear, you’ll see that fella smile for the first time in the game. Well, I wouldn’t say a smile exactly, but you’ll know he’s a bit better off. It’s a small thing, but it sure makes a difference.
The game also lets ya do more than just help the Hapless Man. There’s a whole lotta other folks in Zenless Zone Zero with their own problems, and you get to solve them too. There’s a total of 12 customer inquiries you can help with, besides the Hapless Man’s little movie quest. But I gotta tell ya, the Hapless Man’s story stands out, mostly ‘cause of how real it feels. He’s just like so many folks out there, lookin’ for somethin’ to take their mind off their troubles. Maybe it’s a sad movie, maybe it’s somethin’ else, but he sure don’t have it easy.
When you’re in the game, you’ll be workin’ as a Proxy, just like all the others, tryin’ to make the best outta a tough situation. But in the end, it’s the little things that make the big difference, like recommendin’ the right movie to the Hapless Man. That’s the heart of it all. So next time you’re playin’, remember that little fella. He just needs a break, same as the rest of us.
And if you’re wonderin’, I’d say the Hapless Man is one of them characters that sticks with ya. Even though he’s just a part of a game, his story feels real, like someone you might know from the old neighborhood. Just goes to show ya, even in the world of Zenless Zone Zero, it’s all about helpin’ folks, one little step at a time.
