Dialogue

You seek work, too? Well, I hope we can call each other partner in due time.
Now, shall we get started? I want both of you to head to Urqopacha and bring me back an assortment of my most popular staples.
Namely, I'm looking for maca, a plant which imparts unflagging vigor, and springstone, which is used to warm the body and soothe aches in the muscles.
You can bring me whichever is easier for you to gather—either will sell just as quickly. Since this is only a trial, let's start with say...six or so?
Six springstones from Urqopacha... Understood. I shall return with haste.
You may now undertake deliveries for Shunye's Apothecary. By delivering the requested items to Shunye and raising yourself in his esteem, you can help him restock his empty shelves.
Items with a higher collectability will result in greater rewards upon delivery. Speak to Shunye to view the deliveries list.
You can find the staples I require in Urqopacha. Either the maca or springstone will suffice—bring me whichever one is easier for you to acquire.
That was quicker than I expected. Let's see... Yes, yes, this delivery will do nicely. It's always comforting to see my shelves stocked.
That was quicker than I expected. Let's see... Oh my, this delivery is better than I could've imagined. Almost too good, in fact—my customers might come to take such quality for granted, heh.
Thank you for your hard work. It's always comforting to see my shelves stocked.
In making your first successful delivery, you have begun to earn Shunye's trust.
Deliver the items Shunye needs, and deliver them often to improve the prospects of Shunye's Apothecary!
I must say, there's no greater reassurance than knowing I have wares to sell. Even though this was but a trial run, you conducted yourself flawlessly.
Truth be told, when I first began this endeavor, I didn't imagine I would sell such a wide array of goods. But health is a goal we all share, and there are any number of ways to pursue it.
Take maca, for instance. It thrives in the harsh climes of Urqopacha, accumulating nutrients from its unique environment. It has been a favorite since time immemorial for its nutritional value and invigorating properties.
Springstone, on the other hand, is a type of volcanic rock. It retains heat rather well, so after a bit of polishing and warming, you can place it in your pocket or directly on the skin. Even in hotter regions, it's used to relieve stiff muscles and troublesome aches.
I know you came to me seeking gainful employment, but you must place your own health first and foremost. If anything ever ails you, I would welcome your custom with open arms.
Speaking of which, you haven't seen Uvlo, have you? I hope he hasn't gotten lost...
Judging by his story, he arrived in Tural only shortly before visiting my shop. His confident stride suggested he knew where he was going, but how could he...?
I am returned. Master Shunye, I hope my deliveries meet with your satisfaction.
Well, I suppose there was no need to worry.
Hmmm... Yes, these are good. They'll certainly sell.
Forgive my imposition, but have you been to Tural before? Or did you hire someone to guide you?
Neither. This is my first time in Tural, and I have no money for a guide.
Yet this city is home to a great many people. If you ask around for information, you can piece together any puzzle in time. That is, of course, if you have the patience to do so.
Does this mean you've reached a decision regarding my employment?
Indeed. You did well today...
So, for the time being, I have no objection to continuing our business relationship.
And of course, I'd like to continue working with you as well, Forename. However, I understand you aren't the type to stay in one place overlong.
Let's keep it simple, shall we? Stop by whenever you have time for a few tasks, and I shall recompense you accordingly.
Then it's settled. Don't be a stranger, Forename.
Forename? Forgive my rudeness for not introducing myself sooner.
I am Uvlo, of Kuguma village. I look forward to working with a fellow Viera, and hope to learn much from your experience.
I am Uvlo, of Kuguma village. I hope to learn much from someone of your experience.
Just as I hope to learn about the Shetona from you, Master Shunye. May we all prosper under your tutelage!
Well, I may prove to be a worthless teacher in that regard, but I suppose I can try. As for our mutual prosperity, that depends on us...
That is to say, we need to get selling! My customers will be pleased to see my stocks replenished at last.
Shunye is pleased with your efforts. He now considers you a Greenhorn Gatherer!
The next request will be available from Shunye upon reaching level 93 as a botanist or miner.
