Guardian Wall Model

"The weight of Jinzhou is far beyond what a model can carry, but you can feel the weight of guarding Jinzhou up close by purchasing a Guardian Wall model." The Ministry of Development partnered with a toy company to create this model, rumored to be a limited first edition obtained personally by Taoqi from a revered toy mogul.

Jinzhou Strategies

The data module for Terminal loading contains Taoqi's observations and thoughts on Jinzhou, from her childhood musings to her current decisions to protect the city. Every detail has been meticulously documented in this small but powerful device. Perhaps one day, it will alter the fate of Jinzhou.

Peachy Turtle

Taoqi always longs to catch a nice, peaceful nap during her free time. The soft and plush Peachy Turtle becomes her haven, a paradise that washes away all fatigue accumulated from work. "If I could live a slow-paced life just like the Peachy Turtle, and still be a reliable support for everyone, that would be perfect."

Prisoner's Dilemma

"Did you hear? That new Director at the Ministry of Development's Defense Division doesn't let anything get past her!" This rumor spread quickly through Jinzhou, soon becoming the city's hot topic. The Ministry of Development ordered a batch of materials intended for the construction of a new defense line, but one container was filled with unlabeled, subpar goods. To complicate the matter even more, the batch had three different manufacturers, none willing to take responsibility for the defect. "Director Taoqi, you have to help us sort this out. The Ministry of Development can't just accuse innocent people!" The three representatives said, their voices growing louder in an attempt to attract more attention. Taoqi calmly navigated through the commotion, while softly putting off the noisy representatives. "Alright, alright, I understand," even though she wasn't really paying attention to their complaints. She then crouched down to inspect the unlabeled container. After examining a few pieces of materials for a while, Taoqi seemed to have an idea. In a casual tone, she turned to the three representatives and said, "But it seems one of you is lying. Or perhaps, all three of you are." After that, Taoqi and her junior, Xiaoyu, discreetly visited three manufacturing factories. They gathered clues about the machinery, transportation routes used that evening, and delivery schedules. With this information, Taoqi was able to solve the puzzle and ensure those who had been deceitful would face consequences. Within days, rumors spread throughout the city. One of the three representatives was interrogated by Director Taoqi of the Ministry of Development. Then, news surfaced about another representative being caught, followed by the final one. Eventually, Jinzhou News broke a story revealing their collusion in supplying substandard materials. The public was left stunned, while only Taoqi and Xiaoyu knew the truth. "I know! It-it's the typical prisoner's dilemma! You brought one of them in for a 'private talk' first, then you made sure the other two knew what happened. All of this was meant to put pressure on them so they'd betray and tell on each other, right? But how did you know they were all lying?" "People can lie, but machines can't. Each factory has its unique machine specifications. The answer was already clear when I examined those materials. Oh well... it did cost me several lunch breaks." Taoqi complained as she pulled her sleep mask down, determined to make up for those lost breaks.
