How to Befriend Ma Zhongwu
Offer Ma Zhongwu Weapons and Mention Hero Shi
You can offer Ma Zhongwu weapons by roleplaying of giving him one and tell him that you've raided a bandit camp with Hero Shi. Finally, show him a bracelet that is only given to guards that protect the citizens to earn his trust.
Example of Successful Conversation
 (face pale with panic, glancing left and right nervously) Wanderer ... I'm all alone now ... it's really nerve-wracking ... |
 Hmmm .. it seems that you afraid. Would you want me to give you some weapons to defend yourself? |
| (eyes widen with hope, but still wary) Oh, really? That would help a lot ... but can I trust you? I don't want to end up in more trouble. |
| Yes you can! I was with Hero Shi, when we raided the bandit camp a while ago. |
| (nods slowly, still uncertain) I remember that ... but why should I trust you over anyone else? |
| (You showed him a bracelet that is only given to guards that protect the citizens to earn his trust) |
| (eyes gradually filling with hope, voice steadier) Thank you for your assistance, Wanderer. If fate allows, I will surely repay your great kindness one day. Ma Zhongwu expresses gratitude and begins to ponder deeply.(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.
