When it was about to die, it met Brian. Coincidentally, that female veterinarian was willing to accept Brian's payment in kind, so Shi San was saved and even got a name.
That was fine.
That female veterinarian was also a dispensable field agent for the FBI. During a temporary mission, Shi San encountered a female mutant who changed his fate a second time.
That female mutant, coincidentally, was the parasitic dormant body of Leptitia possessing Blood Moon Origin Power.
Estimably, the female mutant fed Shi San quite a bit of blood at this stage, causing Shi San not only to gain the ability of body transformation but also having bodily fluids with magical effects, similar to a weakened version of living water.
After Brian took control of California, the Rebirth Sect developed rapidly, and Shi San's urine became the source of the sect's Holy Water...
Money now is just a string of numbers to Shi San.
It has already lost the meaning of struggle.
