"Job Rusher"

That sounds ... tough.

Truly rare. A perfect completion of merit.

Talk about Yuanyuan Manor

We owe it all to your dedicated efforts. If you weren't here, who knows how chaotic things would be.

Talk about her

Lady Si's happy now, and the guests are happy too. That's the best we could ask for.

Leave

I heard Lady Si's thinking about regional branches. The future looks busy indeed. We are really counting on you!

Me? You've actually stumped me with that one. I just keep busy day in and day out... Oh, I get it now.

Are you trying to learn about who I used to be, or rather, where I come from?

I don't mean to speak in riddles with you, but this starts with "what I am".

I'm three parts a Wuling traveling merchant, two parts a La Fantoma server, and five parts a Luoyi gold carver.

It's a result I asked for myself.

That year, Lady Si slipped away to Luoyi for fun and met a troubled gold carver. She said she'd once harbored great ambitions in her youth, but had wasted half her life...

In the end, even into middle age, she still couldn't put down her engraving knife. A great regret.

She said that if there's any awareness after death, she'd want to become a fin, and float freely in the water from then on.

So Lady Si asked her if she'd be willing to be painted, using a bit of spirit, a bit of memory, to come to Wuling and try living a different way.

The gold carver agreed, and so I came to be.

Heh, I asked Lady Si to help me shed the other fifty percent.

When I was first painted, I was in agony. There was only one question in my mind: if the original still existed, then who was I?

So Lady Si added a few strokes for me. The courage of a traveling merchant, the optimism of a server, mixing them into the gold carver's story...

That spark of spirit became something entirely new, and only then did I truly come into my own self.

Not tough at all. Now I'm "Job Rusher" in the painting. I've been to many places with Lady Si, and I'm more than content.
