How to Befriend Shi the Boatman
Give a Medicine
Roleplay giving a medicine to Shi the Boatman to cure his illness. If he asks for money, roleplay giving Shi the Boatman some money to give him a better life which will cause him to befriend you.
Example of Successful Conversation
 (sighing deeply) Life is hard, Young Master ... even my nickname says it all. Folks call me Rowe Moore-because all I ever do is row more and work harder. Seems fate had this planned from the start |
 (You noticed him being a little sick, So you gave him a top tier medicine you got in your travels.) Here take it, friend! |
| (bows slightly, voice warm and sincere) May good people be blessed with peace. Thank you, Young Master! |
| (after a week, Shi was able to recover from his illness) |
| (still looking a bit weary but smiling) Ah, the medicine you gave me truly helped, Young Master. I feel stronger already. But the work never ends, and my pockets remain light |
| (you gave him enough coins to give himself a better life) |
| (bows slightly, voice warm and sincere) May good people be blessed with peace. Thank you, Young Master! Shi the Boatman expresses gratitude.(Affection +100, becomes Revered) |
Note that AI conversations can be unpredictable and even with the same inputs, the same result is not necessarily guaranteed.

How to Succeed in AI Chat
Reset Dialogue When Stuck
If your conversation has gone off the rails, or doesn't end no matter what you say, it's best to simply reset and start anew from a clean slate by clicking the button with a Refresh icon at the top of the chat box. Instead of trying several methods within one conversation, trying one strategy at a time and refreshing if it doesn't go anywhere is generally more effective.
Return to Login Screen if Combat Begins
Sometimes, NPCs will suddenly become violent during AI dialogues. When this happens, it's best to just bail out to the login screen; when you return, the NPC will be found just as they were before the conversation started.
If you accidentally kill a dialogue-capable NPC, our experience has shown that they will respawn, but this has not been heavily tested, so it's best to simply avoid engaging them in combat.
Double-Check the Hint
Even if the NPC appears to be happy with the result of your discussion, this won't always end the dialogue. Double-checking the text written in the hint will imply the win condition, so try strategies which will lead the dialogue towards that result.
