Qingque is one of my favourite characters in Honkai Star Rail. She has said many words that I think worthwhile to share.

The pic above is Qingque. Here are these words:

Qingque's Voice-overs:

1.Work is not about increasing value. It just pays your bills. The trick is to increase value for yourself at your employer's expense.

2.My Mom said I could relax in a secure job once I passed the Divination Commission entrance exam. Now that I'm in, I feel like I should be doing more...

3.There are three basic principles for happiness at work – do not be proactive, do not say no, and do not be responsible. You should give it a try~

4.Fun number one, knowing there are books for leisure on the Xianzhou. Fun number two, browsing these books in the Spare Time Bookshop. Fun number three — the greatest fun — reading those books at work.

5.Life's just like a game of tiles, you never know what's gonna come up next~

6.When life's all go, the trick is to "steal" a bit of downtime, right?

7.You're bound to draw the tile you want sooner or later, right?

8.No need to worry, Huohuo, the workday zips by when you're having fun~

9.Play hard, win big, keep quiet~

10.Fights are like gambling — you have to choose when to strike!

11.Don't rush — the game is always changing~

Character Story: Part IV

"Being happy at work is an artform."
"First, never overdo any task. Higher-ups want to see their tasks progressing at a consistent pace before the deadline, so never turn in anything early."
"Second, never take the initiative. If higher-ups don't personally tell you what they want you to do, that is not your problem."
"Third, don't work hard by yourself, and never fight for clout. If you can, try and drag someone in to suffering together with you. Whatever you do, never work alone for the sake of trying to demonstrate any kind of ability."
"Afterward, you can give credit to your peers, both as an easy hat-tip or simple investment into your future. But also as a shield against the possibility of higher-ups promoting you — a promotion means even more work."
"The point is, there are three basic principles for happiness at work – do not be proactive, do not say no, and do not be responsible. Did you get it?"

Trailblaze Missions

1.Anyway, don't dwell on names. As long as the machine works, what does it matter whether it's a "jade abacus" or a "computer"?

2.If I screw it up, they might fire me... but if I get it done right, they'll send me more work!

3.The more complex something is, the more important it is to keep it simple. Don't you think?

Trailblaze Continuances

1.But before I leave, I have to help these guests take care of some trouble here at the Commission. If I don't, people will think I was fired because of cowardice in the face of danger.

2.Yes, for a puzzle that was designed from the start, choosing any other path would be a pointless mistake. But the universe isn't someone's game, and no one is designing puzzles for us to solve. The universe doesn't have a single answer... we can do anything we want while we're in it. Even if it's the same work every day, I can hide in the library and read a book or find someone to play Celestial Jade with... and that's freedom.

3.Master Diviner, you're not the only one who can design a puzzle, and I don't tread the path of destiny alone.

4.The universe is like jade tiles on a game table. When the tiles are shuffled, the outcome is already predetermined. Which tiles can be played, which tiles are leftover, what kind of hand the person next to you is trying to make — all of these can be determined through calculations. But if everything is just a calculation, the game loses its flavor. Randomness and adaptability, ambushing your opponent, twists and turns, the balance of the elements — it's a mix of calculations, unknowns, and loss of complete control that makes Celestial Jade the kind of game it is — and those are the same things that give life its color and vibrance. Do my "choices" at the game table mean nothing if I have a sure loss in front of me? No — the choices are what make the game meaningful in the first place.

5.Heliobus, you cannot fathom the joys of humanity. You are imprisoned by the illusion of destiny, unable to free yourself, and you want everyone who peeks into the future to suffer the same pain as you. You... You don't understand humans at all.

Events

Aurum Alley's Hustle and Bustle

1.I agree that I shouldn't have to pay for other people's mistakes. But, that diviner put it nicely — "We are a collective! Knuckle down, work hard, and there's nothing we can't get done!"  Anyway, she's just a supervisor and would never roll her sleeves up and get her hands dirty.

2.Proficiency surrounding the language used when requesting leave is a basic skill for salary workers.

Way of Primaveral Blade: Rhetoric

1.If being a workaholic were a disease, Skott would be in the ICU! It's okay to enjoy your work, but causing trouble in society is another story!

2.I don't have suggestions, only an opinion, and that is "He's a hopeless workaholic."

3.You may not be young, but your mindset is still that of a fresh-faced newbie who spends all their time on work, while proudly proclaiming to "love their job."

4.In my opinion, you enjoy playing the role of a joker, spouting off outrageous opinions just to seem objective and indifferent whenever you feel like it.

5.I heard even the lowest-ranking Pier Point folks feel proud of the IPC's success and wealth... But when you really think about it, how much does the IPC's success and wealth have to do with you?

6.Do you find it hard to fall asleep without scrolling through your phone? Do you hit the snooze button every morning? Do you feel useless at work, hearing your bosses complaining about your incompetence...?  When you actually think about your life outside of work, only one word pops into your head, doesn't it? （March 7th: "Overtime!"）
