Hello everyone, in today's episode I talked about how nice and helpful people are in my co-op gaming experience.  See below for English and Mandarin scripts as well as useful expressions.

大家好！今天是星期三。一个星期又过去一半了。大家这个星期过得怎么样呢？今天我晚饭以后又玩手机游戏《原神》就是Genshin Impact。我在第46期跟大家说过，这个游戏是我学生推荐给我的。我开始玩了以后也觉得挺不错的，所以也就经常玩儿。最开始玩儿的时候，我等级低。只能单人游戏，不能联机。现在我等级够高了，就可以让其他玩家加入我的世界一起玩儿。最近就经常有人申请加入，而且这些人的等级都比我高得多。比如我现在是60级，而加入我世界的玩家一般都有80级。 加入了以后，我们会先互相问好，然后他们就会问我可以帮我做什么，比如可以帮我攻打一个大boss。因为他们的等级比我的高很多，所以有他们的帮助，就可以很轻松地打败我的世界里的大boss或者通过我自己不能完成的挑战。帮完我之后，他们还会确认我不需要其他帮助以后再离开我的世界。每次联机游戏我都会跟他们说很多次谢谢。他们也会说，“啊，当然啦。别客气！”之类的。可是我从来没问过：“呃，你们为什么要来我的世界帮我呢？“但是我今天问了这个问题。然后今天跟我联机的这个玩家说，”跟你打游戏很好玩啊。我自己也玩得很开心啊！” 

我就觉得这是最理想的了吧。在日常生活中，如果你能花自己的时间和精力去帮助一个人，然后这个过程又让你自己很开心，很享受。那这真的是太棒了！

那好了。今天就跟大家分享到这里。我们下期再见！

Hello everyone! Today is Wednesday. Another half of a week has passed. How are you all doing this week? Today I played the mobile game Genshin Impact again after dinner. I mentioned in Ep. 46 that this game was recommended to me by my students. After I started playing it, it felt pretty good, so I played it often. When I first started playing, my level was low. I can only play single player mode, not co-op mode. Now that my level is high enough, I can let other players join my world and play together. Recently, there have been people requesting to join, and these people are much higher level than me. For example, I am level 60 now, and players who join my world are generally level 80. After joining, we would say hello to each other first, and then they would ask me what they could do for me, such as attacking a big boss. Because their level is much higher than mine, with their help, it's easy to beat the big bosses in my world or pass challenges that I can't complete by myself. After helping me, they would also confirm that I don't need other help before leaving my world. Every time I play co-op I say thank you to them many times. They'll also say, "Ah, of course. No problem!" or something like that. But I never asked, "Well, why do you come to my world to help me?" But I asked this question today. And then the player I connected with today said, "It's so much fun playing games with you. I'm having so much fun myself!"

I think this is the best. In everyday life, if you can spend your time and energy helping a person, then the process makes yourself very happy and enjoyable. That's really awesome!

OK. That's all the sharing for today. See you next episode!
