Your dark circles are getting worse.”
Turner’s Chinese teacher, seeing that Turner was clearly getting worn out, asked with concern.
Across from her, Turner looked like he was still half-asleep but forcing himself to stay alert.
He slapped his cheeks hard to wake himself up.
“I’m fine, I’m good.
Let’s start today’s lesson.”
“Why don’t you take a break?
At this rate, your body might not be able to take it.”
“No no no, I’m pressed for time, and I don’t have much left,” said Turner adamantly.
The teacher looked at his determination and gave up on trying to persuade him.
She continued with the lesson.
After all, Turner was paying her.
Moreover, he had arranged a bonus incentive with her – if he could catch up with the Pacific Rim release date, he could get a one-time bonus of $80,000.

Even if he missed the release date, successful testing within a week or a month afterward would still yield bonuses of varying amounts.
Their relationship was not only that of a teacher and a student, but also a consumer and a service provider, so everything was centered around Turner.
If Turner felt that he could handle it, then she would continue teaching!
…
…
Actually, Turner didn’t want this either.
Before he came to Daxia, his goal was clear: he wanted to join Battlefield’s World First War Zone and win a championship.
After he arrived in Xiajing City, he successfully accomplished this goal.
When he first joined the Daxie War Zone and took part in the Peak War, he didn’t get invited to pre-match training because it was his first time in the team.
As a result, he spent the entire Peak War “herding sheep” with the main army.

Chasing after other people’s backsides and shooting was not challenging at all, but it was tremendously fun.
He then earned trust, entered the MOD Map meant for regular training, and participated in standard training sessions.
After joining regular training, Turner immediately discovered something terrifying:
The sheep-driving strategy was not some secret ultimate move; the Peak War Command Group had at least three other tactics well-practiced by their regular team members!
They simply hadn’t revealed any new tactics because the sheep-driving strategy hadn’t been cracked and targeted by other war zones.
Turner was almost sure: the Command Group surely had more than three alternate tactics up their sleeve!
He couldn’t help looking forward to other war zones cracking the sheep-driving strategy so he could try out the newly practiced tactics.
The only regret was: broadcasting these tactical training sessions live was not allowed.
The Command Group didn’t have the authority to forbid anyone from live streaming.
Once someone broke the rules, though, they could forget about participating in training.
Among Daxia’s Peak War team, there were many with a large fanbase, but everyone adhered strictly to the rules.
Turner wasn’t going to be the exception.
Other than the domineering Peak War, daily matches and National Warfare also satisfied him fully.
The heat of his live streams was steadily increasing.
Before Pacific Rim was released, Turner always felt that Battlefield was enough for him to play for a lifetime.
But then, Pacific Rim appeared.
Seeing those incredible steel constructs, embodying the zenith of industrialization and military power, pierced through his defenses instantly!
In that moment, there was only one thought in his mind – to pilot a mech!
He had to!
No matter what, he had to!
From then on, Turner embarked on an intense journey of learning Chinese.
The good news was that given his decision to settle in Daxia for the long term, he had found a Chinese teacher to learn from as soon as he got settled.
By the time Pacific Rim was released, he had already laid some foundations.
The bad news, however, was that these foundations were not enough for him to pass the test.
In the days that followed, learning was all Turner did, day and night, immersing himself in it and barely eating or sleeping.
He was working hard to a point that it hardly resembled his usual self.
Yet, he still felt time was running out!

Two hours later, today’s class ended.
Stealing a moment from the busyness, Turner put on the [Eight Sides] Headband and fed his two unfairly treated spirit beasts.
Unlike other spirit beasts, perhaps due to the journey they had taken from Paris to Xiajing on foot, the little Tiger White Luster and the White Snake Qiutu seemed to have a lot of grievances against him, and would become grumpy if not well-catered to.
He would have released any other spirit beast by now.
But for these two, Turner felt a sense of guilt, and didn’t have the heart to do so, so he had to take good care of them.
Fortunately, these two youngsters were also unusually smart.
Once they had been well taken care of, they were truly very endearing.
Turner brought food for the two little ones and then patted each of them on the head.
After finishing these tasks, he then noticed a small system notification icon flashing at the edge of his vision.
He clicked on it, opening the notification:
[GGS Chinese Language Learning Aid plugin is now available, providing an immersive Chinese environment for trial!]
“Chinese learning plugin?” Turner was slightly startled, “What does GGS mean?”
With this question in mind, he downloaded the plugin.
After the download was complete, he looked around his environment but did not notice any changes.”???”
It was only after he carefully searched for a second time that he finally found the changes – the English words on the milk carton on the dining table had turned into Chinese characters.
With this discovery, he began to carefully look in his room for any English items.
After 10 minutes, he basically understood the effect of the plugin:
The plugin would convert text from other languages into Chinese – it could be adjusted in the settings whether to display only Chinese or to display it bilingually.
Furthermore, the plugin could perform simultaneous interpretation, synchronising all other languages that sounded by the ears into Chinese.
Turner blinked.
This thing can’t be said to be useless – in fact, it’s quite useful.
The only problem is –
It’s useless to him.
He lives in Xiajing, surrounded by Chinese characters and people speaking Chinese, would he still lack a Chinese language environment?
The function of this thing is to facilitate overseas players to obtain a language environment and enhance their learning efficiency.
Disappointed, Turner shook his head and forwarded this message to his overseas social networking sites and fan group.
However, his forwarding was not actually necessary.
The moment this little plugin was launched, it quickly spread amongst overseas players at a shocking rate – because this was precisely what they urgently needed, they naturally installed it without hesitation.
Unlike with Turner, for them, the effect of this plugin was simply miraculous.
As soon as it was enabled, they would immediately be surrounded by Chinese characters and the Chinese language.
This was an immediate change!
With this plugin, there’s no need to specifically run to Chinatown, right?
Everywhere is Chinatown!
Their only question was: what does GGS mean?
They tried various combinations, but couldn’t unravel this mystery.
In the end, it was the Daxia players who hadn’t received any notifications who were able to easily guess the answer:
GGS is an acronym for [Good Good Study], and its literal translation is –
[Study hard].
Though it might seem a bit outrageous, considering that this plugin was most likely created by Lincoln, it wasn’t all that outrageous anymore…
With this tool to assist them, there was no doubt that the efficiency of learning improved even further.
This was the last bit of help that Lincoln could provide to overseas players.
Up to this point, the requirements for learning a foreign language: [courses], [teachers], [proficiency tests] and [language environment] were all in place.
What was left was for them to rely on their own efforts.
As for Lincoln, he was assisting with the internal testing in the Pacific Rim project team.
They planned to use one week to finalize the game and conduct internal testing, after which a small scale testing for players would be conducted for three days.
Once these two processes were completed, it would be the final release date!
