The Key to Success Quest Dialogue

Good day to you! We already went so far together, you’re like a brother to me. Like family, see, don’t get me wrong. So, like a brother, answer frankly, do you like reading? I devoured books back then, as a kid. But now I need a serious book, for business. A rare bitch for sure, but I know you can get a devil from under the ground if you’d want. Get me the book about designing clothes from special fabrics, all that military stuff has to be made with aramid fabric, which has its own tricks to it. There should be a manual for them, in two volumes. If you can get it, that’d be capital. Should probably check in the book stores, they must be there. ULTRA had, as I remember, the “Knigoyed” and “Museum of History” stores, so make sure to search them both.

Reward Dialogue

You really found them? Thank you, friend. Don’t get any ideas, these books are very important, they’ll help me with my business.

Guide

Both of the books are in different stores on Interchange. One of the stores is on the first floor in the mall, and the other is on the second. This means you will have to cover a lot of land on foot, so taking a slow approach rather than rushing to the objectives is vital.
