Chapter 98: Towards Internationalization, Starting from Language

  Keep asking!

  Every day is a new beginning, but for Xiao Ge, at least for now, every morning is a kind of torture.

  I'm tired, bro, I really don't want to sign anymore!

  When Xiao Ge woke up from his dream with a start, drenched in sweat, the first words he uttered were loud roars of reluctance to sign again, especially after yesterday's experience of being surrounded by hundreds of people and unable to move, feeling both hungry and cold.

  No wonder, he just had a dream, and what he dreamed of was being surrounded by many people holding laptops, everyone shouting "Xiao Su Ge" loudly, and the scene where fans asked for autographs was overwhelming.

  This life is simply unbearable! Xiao Shuai Ge wiped away tears and let out a big yawn, he hadn't had a dream in a long time, but unexpectedly last night he kept repeating the same dream over and over again, every time it was signing his name until his hand went numb!

  He sat on the bed, dazed and thinking for about 5 minutes, but when the alarm clock rang again, Xiao Su brother suddenly jumped up from the bed, then he said to the system: "Can you post a message in my bar, saying that I announce, starting from today, I will never respond to signature requests unless it's during new album release events."

  "With a 'ding' sound, the system quickly said: 'The message you want to send can be published by this system and can be pinned to the top, but I'm afraid you still need to continue signing today because in reality it will take at least until tomorrow for your declaration to spread.'"

  "Tomorrow?" Xiao Sa Ge thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, tomorrow is also fine, but it must be made public, otherwise I'm afraid that many people will still not know about it."

  “……”

  The system was originally going to say something, but Xiao Sao had already said: "Alright, that's it for now. I'm in a hurry and need to go eat something first."

  After finishing speaking, he started brushing his teeth and washing his face. Then he picked up the clothes that got completely wet yesterday and had to be hung out to dry. After doing all this, he put on his raincoat and went downstairs to settle the bill. He then pushed his cart slowly towards a baozi shop he saw last night.

  The morning in the small town can't be compared to that of a big city, and it's raining today, so Xiaosan didn't meet many people on his way here. At most, he saw a few elderly people sitting in the door-facing houses on both sides of the street, making the whole town seem quiet.

  He ordered a bowl of porridge and several large steamed buns, as well as several packages. Brother Xiao was eating the small dish of pickled vegetables that the store had given him, mouthful by mouthful. During this process, the number of customers in the store slowly increased, and soon two young girls sat down across from him.

  "Xiaoling, did you watch the Super Girl competition yesterday? I really like Li Yang, unfortunately she has to start over from the revival match!"

  "Haha, I still like Shang Wenjie, I think his aura is really too strong, so stylish!"

  "Cut it out, Li Yang is way better than you, she's much more elegant and beautiful."

  "Get out! Shang Wenjie is so talented, graduated from Fudan University, and is a simultaneous French translator, speaks German very well too. Can your Liu Liyang compare to her?"

  ……

  Xiao Sao Ge sat quietly at the table across from them, intently eating his food on one hand, but secretly listening to the conversation between the two girls on the other. At the same time, he also had a first-time feeling that Super Girl might not be as low-class as he thought.

  No, he had always expressed his contempt and disdain for the Super Girl talent show program before, but deep down in his heart, there was always a little bit of underestimation. He thought that with this kind of hype, it was actually impossible to select truly good singers, because everyone was attracted by the various means of the TV station.

  In one sentence, those people are too superficial and don't have any real singing skills or emotional depth.

  But now, when he heard that Shang Wenjie, a woman from a prestigious family with a successful career, had also joined the Super Girl camp, he really couldn't understand it at all!

  Alright, don't blame me if I also have to bring out the big guns.

  Xiao Xiao Ge had never considered so-called "internationalization" before, and for the time being, he didn't think about strengthening his foreign language training plan. After all, his current task is still to make a big name for himself domestically, even if he mastered 100 foreign languages, he wouldn't have the opportunity to use them.

  However, now that he has heard that this year's Super Girl contestants include foreign language experts like Shang Wenjie, he immediately decided to seize the opportunity to improve his own foreign language skills.

  English is a must, and Hollywood will rely on it later. In addition to Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, etc., these are also goals, of course. If systematic training really works well, then English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean, even if all are learned, he is ready to acknowledge them.

  A crisp sound of "ding", Tang Xiao was biting his last baozi, then preparing to get up and leave, when he suddenly sat back down again. Then the system's voice sounded in his ear: "Player Tang Xiao, your fighting spirit makes this system happy for you, but sorry, before you arrive in Shanghai and complete your first main task, you will not be able to use this system to learn foreign languages."

  What's up with you starting this?

  After listening to the system's words, Xiao Sao got up with a sullen face and handed a 10-yuan bill to the boss.

  "The implication of this system is very clear, you can fully utilize your own abilities to learn English well, and cannot rely on this system for everything, otherwise your points are not enough to use." The system said calmly.

  He took the change back from his boss, while responding angrily in his heart: "Do you think learning a foreign language is that easy? I don't have time for that now!"

  Even if his memory has increased several times now, how much time can he use? At most, it's just those two or three hours every night when staying in the store, what can be learned from that?

  "You can practice listening during the day and recite vocabulary at night. I believe that with your current strong memory, within a month, your English level will be able to pass the current TEM-8 (English Professional 8th Level Examination)." The system said lightly.

  Is this for real? Passing Professional Level 8 is that easy? I'm not some newbie who doesn't know what Professional Level 8 is.

  Xiao Sa's footsteps paused, almost blurting out the question, but fortunately he still remembered that they were on a main street, so he hastily pushed his bicycle and started heading towards the outskirts of town.

  "I'm telling you, big brother, English is a super difficult subject for me. From junior high school onwards, I've never passed it before, really?" He asked while riding his bike on the national highway.

  "You need to have some confidence in yourself..." The system said calmly: "The reason you didn't learn foreign languages well before is that your memory was as if it had been locked up, and even a simple small word would require dozens of writings and readings. With such efficiency, even if you were given another hundred years, I'm afraid you still wouldn't be able to learn English."

  No wonder you always relied on guessing during English exams. It turns out that your memory is indeed poor to a certain extent!

  Xiao Sa Ge couldn't help but slap the bicycle handlebars hard, at this moment he was so depressed, because he had tried so hard before, but still always being misunderstood by his family and teachers as not putting in effort, it's all because of memory that caused the trouble!

  "Okay, then I'll go to the county town ahead and buy an English-Chinese dictionary, oh, and a tape recorder too."

  Xiao Xiao Ge was also inspired by the system's various encouragements, and he couldn't wait to have a time machine right now to make full use of this period.

  "Unless you go to Zhangjiajie, you won't be able to buy very good textbooks and tapes." The system reminded again: "You won't pass through the county area on your way today, unless you want to take a detour of about half the distance."

  Who would be willing to travel so far just to buy some English teaching materials? Xiao Swan quickly dispelled the excitement from earlier, fearing that the system would give out another weird temporary task, which would be totally depressing.

  It's fine now, since I won't be able to learn English for today, I'd better speed up and finish the task as soon as possible.

  Xiao Swan brother let out a loud cry, and the whole person stood up on the bicycle, then arched his body and started pedaling vigorously. For a moment, the bicycle was like an accelerating lightweight motorcycle, and with a whoosh, it sped away on the national highway where traffic was still sparse.
