Drink Link Level And Question Number

I’ll go, but it’s on the house, right?
I’ll pass. What if your food’s actually bad?
Why not just leave it be?
You sure they’re in the wrong?
Maybe ask Geomijul to look into it?
Let’s wait and see what happens.
Maybe you should try to stop them?

Let’s find him and guard him.
Zhao’s Level 5 Drink Link
During Zhao’s fifth Drink Link, you’ll need to fend off Zhao’s well-intentioned former Liumang members. There are four in total and they are all level 40.
The Perceptive Elite will strike four times with his claws andwill inflict the bleeding status effect. Both the Passionate Elite and the Tough Elite have attacks that will strike you once (with the clever causing bleeding).The Passionate Elite can also breath fire on you.
Needless to say, this is a more diverse lineup of enemies than you would typically encounter in a Drink Link mission. However, while they certainly have a few tricks up their sleeves, Zhao and Kiryu should be able to handle them. Just ensure you can cure the bleed effect.As for weaknesses, the Perceptive Elite is weak to electricity, the Smart Elite is weak to fire, and the Tough Elite is weak to water.
Zhao Drink Link Rewards
As a reward, you will obtain 12,625 experience, 11,372 Job Experience, 2,687,500 yen, and you’ll get theGangster’s Saber(this is a five-star weapon for Zhao’s Gangster class). Additionally, you will gain Zhao’sHawaii Outfit, as well as hisNormal Swimsuit.
Strangely, this is the one Drink Link fight which didn’t provide us withanycrafting materials.
