Dialogue

(First interaction)

Qingque: Hey, (Trailblazer), what a coincidence to run into you here!

Qingque: ...Please, hear me out. Although I'm at a games parlor, I'm just observing the games without playing.

Qingque: After all, I've got to go at the drop of the hat as soon as the master diviner sends me a message... I can't take the risk to actually play.

Looks like your job has become more demanding, Qingque.

Qingque: The Divination Commission has become severely shorthanded since the Ambrosial Arbor started growing. Even an idle position like mine is swamped with work...This is so annoying. I have honestly no idea why I'm even so busy.

It's just a round of Celestial Jade. Go for it.

Qingque: Oh, stop that. If I sit down at the table but can only stay for one or two rounds, I'll be even more miserable than having not playing at all.

Qingque: I'll be staying away from the game table until the peace has been fully restored on the Luofu. If things refuse to settle down, I might consider getting an easier job that I can slack off in. However, my family might not be pleased with that... what a bother.

Qingque: Since I'm not playing, shall we have a chat? Nothing about work, of course.

(Continues to regular dialogue options)

(Subsequent interactions)

Qingque: Since I'm not playing, shall we have a chat? Not about work, of course.

Let's talk.

Qingque: Let's talk a little, now that things are less hectic.

Please give me some advice to achieve happiness at work.

Qingque: Well, you've come to the right person, as I've mastered the art of being happy at work.

Qingque: There are three basic principles for happiness at work ‐ do not be proactive, do not say no, and do not be responsible. Got it? Let me give you a small test.

Qingque: You are an unimportant custodian in the Divination Commission. Recently, you've discovered and restored the game of Celestial Jade, which you found when you explored ancient texts in the repository. To your surprise, the game became extremely popular on the Xianzhou Luofu overnight.

Qingque: One day, the master diviner shows up and asks whether you are the one who organized and restored the rules of the Celestial Jade game. How should you answer her?

That's Right! It took me a lot of effort to do it!

Qingque: Seems like you have not learned the gist of the art... If you say that, you'll be taking up extra work on yourself.

What's Celestial Jade?

Qingque: That's a good answer, but it sounds a bit phony. Since the master diviner probably already figured out the truth, pretending to know nothing would be too obvious an attempt to wash your hands clean. She's likely to arrange more work for you.

I've done nothing much. It's the joint effort of everyone else.

Qingque: Excellent! Never hog the credit, so that you can pull others down even if the master diviner assigns extra jobs to you. Sharing the woes is the key to happiness at work.

Qingque: You have a lot more to learn. Let's have more discussions like this in the future.

Please tell me more about Celestial Jade.

Qingque: Oh? The game has been around since the days of the Primeval Imperium, and it is based on astronomy and celestial phenomena. Few know that I was the one who restored it from ancient records in the repository.

Qingque: I told my pen pal from the Artisanship Commission about the game. He then crafted a Celestial Jade tile set and a board for me, and even set up a games parlor... Surprisingly, the game took the Luofu by storm.

Qingque: At first, some accused the game of being addictive and time-wasting. Later on, the game was somehow hailed as an ancient game that could keep one's mind sharp.

Qingque: I don't get it. Why must everything we do be meaningful? Isn't it good enough that the game is fun?

About Fu Xuan...

Qingque: The master diviner? Ahhh...

Why did you sigh at the mention of your boss?

Qingque: I sign because my job is tough. *sigh*

Qingque: The master diviner is nice and talented, but she pays too much attention to me.

Just get everything off your chest. I won't say a word to anyone.

Qingque: Thanks, (brother/sister). I feel more reassured now.

Qingque: ...There's only one thing I'm upset about, and that is the excessive attention I've had from the master diviner lately.

Qingque: I only joined the Divination Commission because my parents want me to, and all I am after is a stable job. I've been keeping a low profile to avoid drawing attention all this while. Things at work have been going pretty well so far.

Qingque: As a diviner, I'm already at the lowest rank at the Divination Commission. I have no clue what I did to catch her attention. Now I can hardly slack off at work, and I'm often asked to submit reports to her.

Qingque: This doesn't bode well. It's against my principle of happiness at work...

Let's call it a day, Qingque.

Qingque: Sure. Just drop me a line if you're up for a round of tiles.
