Time flew, and the years slipped by.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
With the Spirit Breath Race's leaders coordinating construction day and night, the Ten-Thousand-Li Racetrack, a hundred checkpoints, and two thousand supply stations were all completed.

After thinking it over, he decided to make a supporting plugin himself, integrating registration, checkpoint check-ins, full-race video recording and archiving, and other functions.
All players would register through the same plugin. Whenever they reached a checkpoint, the plugin would automatically record their information, preventing all kinds of violations at their source and closing every loophole.

To solve this problem, he had set his sights on the Game Workshop.
