Dialogue

Liben: Ah, friend, we meet once more.

Hey, Liben. How have things been?

Liben: Oh, I'm taking it slow right now. The trade route to Sumeru has been mighty stable.

Liben: However, some strange people have showed up in Sumeru lately, and that was when my gut told me it was time to leave.

Liben: By the way, have you ever been to Liyue's Qiaoying Village?

And where is that?

Not yet.

Liben: Ah, it's where northern Liyue intersects with Fontaine. The tea there is pretty famous, I'll tell you what.

Liben: I personally prefer some Tianheng Bohea or some Qiaoying floral tea. Give them a try if you've got the time.

And why are you suddenly mentioning all this stuff again?

Liben: Well, I've been considering whether I should go to Fontaine to do business. There's an ominous air hanging over Sumeru, I can feel it.

Liben: And Qiaoying is the quickest way to get to Fontaine.

Liben: To be honest, I've never been there, and I've got no clue what business I should do there either.

So, will you still be taking jun— I mean, goods?

Liben: I can't say, friend. But I do hope that the unrest in Sumeru will be swept away, as if by divine might.

Liben: Take it from me: Don't go to Sumeru. It's a dangerous place — or at least it has been of late.

You stay safe too, Liben.

Liben: I will. Once I get back from Sumeru this time, I'll drop by Inazuma on the way back. Unfortunately, Ms. Hina merchandise doesn't sell in Mondstadt, Liyue, or Sumeru...

Liben: So, I trust that our deal's still on, then?

(Talk to Liben)

Liben: Ah, hello there. Need something?

I'm here to do some business.

(If you haven't submitted the items yet): Liben: The items needed today are as such.
(If you have already submitted the items): Liben: I thought you'd already taken a Box o' Marvels for today? That said, feel free to inspect the others. You'll see that I don't cheat any of my customers.

Can you run me through what happened to you again?

Liben: I'm Liben, and once upon a time I sold curios.

Liben: Recently, I lost all the money I made plying the trade route to Sumeru on my Inazuma venture. So it's back to the old business with me.

What kind of business is that?

Liben: Simple. You find me a few basic everyday items, cooking ingredients and the like, and then you trade them with me for a Box o' Marvels, full of all kinds of nice little treasures.

Liben: Keep in mind that I've filled these Boxes o' Marvels with the fortune I made in my time as a seller of curios. There's no booby prizes to be found here, and I treat all my customers the same.

Liben: Why box them up and turn it into a lucky draw, you ask?

Liben: What can I say, people like a gift box. It just makes everyone a little more inclined to get involved.

How are you going to earn any Mora like this?

Liben: I'll probably continue plying the Sumeru trade route.

Liben: Still, there's something fishy going on in Sumeru. Once I finish this job, I'm going to relax for a while.

Goodbye.

Liben: See you around.
