Wang Cheng is a Hong Konger who has lived in Hong Kong for over ten years, didn't start learning Pinyin until third grade, and has absolutely no enthusiasm for learning Mandarin. After neglecting her studies because she was hooked on games, her parents mercilessly dumped her back at their mainland hometown for some hard labor.
Fortunately, her hometown is Guangzhou, where Cantonese is spoken everywhere. Her accent is a little different, but that's no problem at all. As long as she doesn't have to struggle through conversations in her terrible Hong Kong-accented Mandarin, everything is fine.
Still, while she has everyday conversations under control, it's not so easy in the chaotic world of online gaming. From then on, Glory's Tenth Server gained a violent healer who spoke in thick Hong Kong-accented Mandarin, and switched to Cantonese and bizarre text-speak at the slightest provocation.
"Hey, girl, you sound like you're from Hong Kong. Why are you playing on the mainland server?"
"What? What did you say? So hai? Han ju zai? TVB? Sorry, I don't watch Hong Kong dramas... Huh? What do you mean? I can't understand you. Can you type like a normal person?"
"Hey, girl, how much more of this 'mehmehmeh, dimdimdim, gamgamgam, moumoumou' are you going to spew?! What? You want to curse me out? Damn, I understood that one! Don't run, meet me in the arena!"
"How dare you, a healer, smash the BOSS with a cross?! You should be ashamed! Remember, you're a healer! A healer!!!"
"Hey, hey, stop posting messages in Traditional Chinese. Oh my god, your 'that's great' is blocking my view! Damn, stop spamming and switch to voice chat... Actually, never mind. Just stay quiet and go back to posting messages..."
Wang Cheng: "The mainland server is so hard to play :("
