CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 0106: BECOME AN ENGLISH EXPERT OVERNIGHT_1

Zhang Bin had barely stepped out of Liu Ruolan’s villa when he thought, Tutu, create an English teaching software, just like the one used on Xuanwu Star. Just translate that one.

The language learning software from Xuanwu Star was the most scientific; he had managed to thoroughly master the Xuanwu Star language after studying for just a few hours. Using the same method for English would probably only take a few hours as well.

"Yes, Master," Tutu said.

"While we’re at it, create Japanese and German teaching software, too. I’ll learn them all at once," Zhang Bin mused.

He had recently been studying the research and testing of medicinal properties based on materials from Gao Si. There was a lot of information, most of which concerned the construction of various testing instruments. To get them built, he couldn’t rely on his own two hands. He would have to design the numerous instruments and have factories in developed countries manufacture them. The technological levels of Japan, America, and Germany were very high, so he needed to master these languages to find suitable manufacturers.

This was also the reason he had made a bet with Liu Ruomei. Otherwise, he would never have wagered with her. Granted, it would only take a few hours of his time, but his time was precious, and he was unwilling to waste it casually.

Tutu was truly miraculous, taking less than ten minutes to create the teaching software for all three languages.

By the time he got home, it was already late at night. His sister, Zhang Lele, was back for summer vacation. She had been attending some extra classes; otherwise, she would have returned sooner. Zhang Lele was already asleep, so Zhang Bin didn’t disturb her.

He sat cross-legged on his bed and began to practice his cultivation, taking a Gathering Qi Pill and some Spiritual Water to gather Longevity Qi.

However, he didn’t meditate that night. Instead, he studied English. What pleased him was that this focused study was no different from meditation, allowing him to rapidly gather Longevity Qi. After all, this was primarily the effect of the Gathering Qi Pill.

When dawn finally broke, the sleepless Zhang Bin felt no fatigue. On the contrary, he was bursting with energy, clearly because his True Qi had increased.

He first went to Great Green Mountain to practice Qi gathering and exercise before walking back, bathed in the morning sun.

Zhang Lele was already up, sitting on a bluestone slab under the big banyan tree, her clear voice crisply reciting from an English textbook.

Zhang Bin couldn’t help but smile. I toiled all night learning English and have now mastered the language, though I haven’t practiced it yet. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?

He walked over, put on a stern face, and said, "Lele, your pronunciation isn’t very standard. It’s that typical Chinese-style English. No wonder you can’t get a perfect score."

Xiao Fang, who happened to be passing by, heard this and let out a giggle. She knew all too well how notoriously bad Zhang Bin’s English had been. He had never even passed the class, yet here he was criticizing Zhang Lele for not getting a perfect score?

"Brother, you dare say my pronunciation isn’t standard? I won first place in an English recitation competition, and I got a perfect score on my last English exam," Zhang Lele said, as proud as a peacock showing off its feathers. "On the other hand, do you even remember the 26 letters of the alphabet?"

This girl has such a sharp tongue! Asking if I remember the 26 letters? How humiliating.

Xiao Fang watched with her mouth agape, looking at Zhang Bin with a sympathetic gaze.

Zhang Bin feigned surprise and looked at Xiao Fang with a puzzled expression. "There are 26 letters in English? I thought there were only 22. Xiao Fang, am I wrong?"

"Pfft..." Xiao Fang burst out laughing, shaking her head. "Oh, Brother, your English must have been taught by your math teacher."

"Brother, you’re so embarrassing! I’m blushing for you," Zhang Lele said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Heh... anyone who underestimates me is going to eat their words," Zhang Bin said with a strange laugh, switching to fluent English. "Let me tell you, the only reason my grades weren’t good back in school was that too many beautiful girls were chasing me, and I couldn’t focus. If I had actually studied, I would have been the top scholar in the country. Lately, I’ve felt my knowledge was lacking, so I’ve been powering up. I can work as an English translator now. I’m top-notch."

Xiao Fang was dumbfounded. She couldn’t understand a single word; after all, her grades were only marginally better than Zhang Bin’s used to be. With a blank look, she thought, Brother Bin must just be spouting nonsense... but he really does sound like an Englishman.

However, Zhang Lele was an English expert who often earned perfect scores. Getting full marks in high school English was no small feat, so she understood most of what he said. And precisely because she understood, she was utterly floored. She stared at Zhang Bin as if he were a monster and stammered in disbelief, "Are you really my brother? Or has the soul of an Englishman possessed you?"

"We’re speaking English, so why are you using Chinese?" Zhang Bin replied in English. "Come on, Sis. You really underestimate your big brother. Am I an ordinary person? If I were stupid, how could you be a top student? It just proves our genes are exceptional. What’s the big deal if I can speak English? I’m learning German and Japanese, too."

"But... why would you learn English all of a sudden? Was there a reason? You can’t be my brother... I’m calling the police," Zhang Lele stammered back in halting English.

"Someone looked down on me for not knowing English, so I got angry and made a bet with them to have a competition. That’s why I studied so hard," Zhang Bin explained, switching back to Chinese. "I even created a language learning program that lets you learn super fast. Of course, only a genius like me could master a language so quickly."

With that, he took out his phone and started playing the English learning program.

A look of utter shock and delight spread across Zhang Lele’s face. "Brother, this English program is brilliant! If you commercialized it, it would take the world by storm!"

"Why would I bother promoting this thing?" Zhang Bin said, completely uninterested. "But if you want to learn, I can give you the software. Just don’t give it to anyone else."

"That’s great! Give it to me, quick! Install it on my computer," Zhang Lele said excitedly.

"Heh heh... It’s already on your computer, along with the software for German and Japanese," Zhang Bin said proudly.

Since coming into money, Zhang Bin had bought two laptops for the house, one of which was naturally for Zhang Lele. Of course, her laptop didn’t have the language software on it, but with Tutu on the job, it could be installed in an instant.

"Brother, you’re incredible! To learn English so well, so quickly!" Zhang Lele said, overjoyed and full of admiration.

"Heh heh... Now you see I’m qualified to criticize you, right? Your pronunciation really isn’t standard," Zhang Bin said, puffing out his chest proudly.

"You’re right to criticize me, Brother. You’re completely qualified," Zhang Lele replied, her expression full of worshipful admiration.
