Chen Hui said, "I've been traveling north, to Jinan, then to Shijiazhuang, and finally to Beijing. There's a base in Beijing, too, bigger than this one, but everyone there is mainly focused on game strategy, not on exploring the maze."
While saying this, she introduced Leonid, who was beside her, with a laugh, "Leonid is Russian, and I have no idea how he ended up in Beijing. When I met him, he was like a vagrant who hadn't bathed in months; stinky, dirty, with a frightfully unkempt beard. But after we started playing the game together, I found him surprisingly easy to get along with."
Bai Youwei chuckled, "You talk about him like that..."
Chen Hui, seeming more lively compared to half a year ago, playfully winked and said, "It's okay, he doesn't understand Chinese outside the game. All he can say is hello, thank you, and goodbye."
Leonid, unaware of what they were talking about but sensing that it was related to him, raised his hand and waved at Bai Youwei, saying, "Hello."
