Olle LingeBig scary spiders aren't that scary after all. Have a nice checkpoint with an almost flawless run of the sewers, only wasted 2 cans of air on a misclick.
PavelI just noticed a second player beat my score! Only 4 hours ago, so maybe someone in the challenge?
Olle LingeYeah, there's the user 小库 who has been climbing the ranks these past few weeks. What's your high score to beat? 518?
PavelYes, I'm Molndrake (Swedish translation of my Chinese name). 519 would do it. :) I don't remember what the tiebreaker is, to be honest.

Word swing text adventure “迷雾中”.
Spent the hour mapping the sewers. Verily confus. Manily turns. Creepy grass.
加油！

185 points.
Found the brother, couldn't make it back.
Well done! Which way did you take in?
Olle LingeI've been taking the highway in, but I waste a lot of air, haven't successfully made it in through the sewers.
PavelA strategy tip from the coach: You need to figure out the sewers at some point, and if you want to finish the game, going in through the sewers is certainly better than going out!
Olle LingeYeah, I've already found that going back out through the highway isn't possible if I came in that way.
PavelYou can take either one in and out, but not the same out as you took in. Since the sewers are much, much harder to navigate, it makes sense to do them first.

Started book 2 of Jeff Pepper's “西游记” graded reader, “天宫里找麻烦”.
At first I didn't like that the all of the text was written in both characters and pinyin (thankfully on separate pages, so the pinyin doesn't draw my attention away from the characters), but now I've come to appreciate it, especially since the book uses quite a few characters that are new to me, and I keep forgetting how to pronounce them, so having the ability to check their reading without putting the book down, or flipping to the end is very nice.

Got through about half of book 1, “猴王的诞生”.
Seems to be quite easy, maybe even easier than “电脑公司的秘密” from Chinese Breeze...
60 minutes 1.0h
Finished (chapters 5-8) Chinese Breeze Level 2 book "电脑公司的秘密"。
Very easy relative to Mandarin Companion level 2 books, probably a tad bit more difficult that level 1.
