"Knock, knock, knock, Miss, dinner is ready, you can eat." Zhao Jing frowned slightly outside the door. This was the third time he knocked on the door, but there was still no movement. He had already rehearsed all kinds of strange situations in his mind, including the situation where Zhao Mei was kidnapped. Zhao Jing's eyes narrowed, and he put his elbow on the door, ready to force his way in.
At this moment, Zhao Mei suddenly opened the door and laughed: "Haha, haha, I was so sound asleep just now, sorry, I didn't notice the time. Next time I will definitely set an alarm clock, for sure."
Zhao Jing looked at Zhao Mei, who looked haggard and had disheveled hair. He carefully scanned the room and, seeing nothing unusual, breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Miss, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now?"
"Ah, wait a moment, I have something to do here, just call me in about an hour."
Although Zhao Jing did not agree with the young lady he was taking care of not eating on time, seeing Zhao Mei's tired and anxious look, he sighed and agreed: "Okay, young lady, I will call you in an hour. I hope you can eat on time next time. Your health is also my responsibility."
After saying goodbye to Zhao Jing with a bit of guilt, Zhao Mei closed the door and quickly lay back on the bed. She closed her eyes and cursed at the system: "Smelly Xiaolan! Why didn't you tell me when you issued the task that it would take so long?! It's already been three hours!!!"
[Host, if you continue to fail the assessment, I really cannot determine that your mission is complete.]
"Isn't that nonsense? Who would learn to fly a plane when learning to drive? If it's just an ordinary car, why would I bother?" The collapsed Zhao Mei sat in the virtual driver's seat speechless.
[? Host, as a perfect, wealthy, and beautiful woman, how could you not know how to fly a plane? If your worldview didn't forbid it, our original driving course would have also included starship piloting.]
"Huh?! I'm so lucky you didn't. It'd be better if I could just get through it this time, or I'm going to die suddenly."
Although only three hours had passed in reality, Zhao Mei had actually been studying intensively in the system for a full fifteen hours. Even though she was learning mentally in the system space and her learning speed was very fast, driving skills could not be mastered just by knowing the theory. The practical test was the most important thing.
Zhao Mei, who had dangerously bypassed one obstacle after another on the winding mountain road and finally reached the top of the mountain and saw the dawn, would have probably cried out loud if there were no tears in her spiritual space.
Congratulations to the host! After eighteen hours, I finally passed the driving test (simplified version)!
Zhao Mei, who was in a state of collapse, howled even louder when she heard the simplified version spoken by the system.
[Ding-ding-ding-congratulations to the host for completing the daily task of learning to drive, and receiving the reward: Four Languages Proficiency Skill.]
"Four languages fluent? Which four languages? Wait, are we going to enter this challenge space again?"
[The host can choose their own language. After the transfer, they will have a native-level level of proficiency. And because it does not put much pressure on the brain, the host does not need to worry about entering the challenge space.]
Zhao Mei patted her chest, feeling relieved, and chose four languages: "Then let's go with English, French, Russian, and German."
[Received. The transfer has started for you. You will automatically exit the system space after the transfer is completed.]
Zhao Mei slowly closed her eyes, absorbing the knowledge. Unlike the initial intermediate skill package, this time the language seemed to materialize, as segments of code seemed to drift into her mind. Initially, she couldn't understand anything other than English, but later, a strange sense of spontaneous connection arose, and she inexplicably understood the meaning of the word. The long string of characters seemed to form a galaxy in Zhao Mei's mind, and her consciousness sank deeper with the characters...
Zhao Mei opened her eyes again, opened her phone, and found two foreign news articles. After reading them smoothly, she once again exclaimed that the system was truly magical. Now her travels would be much more comfortable. After secretly smiling at her phone, Zhao Mei still remembered that her dinner was waiting for her downstairs, so she hurried downstairs in two steps.
"Zhao Jing! Can I eat now?" Zhao Mei covered her flat stomach. God knew she hadn't eaten for a whole day. The culprit was still the system!
Seeing the girl's sparkling eyes full of desire for delicious food, Zhao Jing said helplessly, "We're always waiting for your visit. It's always hot, but it's inevitably lacking some of the aroma from the wok."
Zhao Mei looked at the sumptuous meal of four dishes, one soup and one dessert on the table, her appetite aroused, and she ordered two large bowls with tears in her eyes.
After a satisfying meal and a few drinks, a phone call woke up Zhao Mei, who was slumped on the sofa. "Hello, is this Miss Zhao Mei?"
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello, hello, this is Panlong Property Management. We have a vehicle for you that needs to be signed for. Would you like to come now? If you need, we can send a car to pick you up."
"Ah, I'll go over now. It would be best if you could pick me up."
"Okay, Miss Zhao, please wait a moment."
Not long after she hung up the phone, the doorbell rang. Zhao Mei jumped out in the face of Zhao Jing's disapproving look, got on the sightseeing bus and waited to hug her baby Bentley.
After arriving at the gate of the community and happily signing the acceptance form, Zhao Mei sat in the driving seat, touching the steering wheel and couldn't let go. However, even though she had skilled driving skills at this time, she could only watch. After all, Zhao Mei really didn't want to experience the tears behind bars.
Zhao Mei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a lot of things in her old house that she had not had time to clean up. She might as well take advantage of the fact that she had a car and go directly to her old house to take back what she needed.
Zhao Mei did what she said. She moved from the driver's seat to the back seat, called a designated driver, and soon returned to her old rental house.
The small one-bedroom rental house was old and narrow. Zhao Mei, who had just returned from Dongshan Longyin, had never felt it so crowded. She scanned the space of less than 30 square meters bit by bit. Although she had not lived here for a long time, it had carried the most turbulent period of her life.
Although it was the city where she went to university, Zhao Mei had never really seen it due to her intense studies and family commitments. It was her first time working away from home, her first time eating pickled vegetables with steamed buns, her first time crying alone at home after being scolded by a store manager and ostracized by colleagues...
Slowly scanning the small room, Zhao Mei suddenly saw the most important thing to her: a family portrait.
Picking up the family photo, it was taken when Zhao Mei was in junior high school. Her parents were wearing red woolen sweaters and smiling sincerely at the camera. There were no wrinkles at the corners of their eyes, their hair was not gray, and their backs were not hunched. The family before they went into debt was so positive and full of energy.
Slowly flicking through the photos, Zhao Mei had never missed her parents so much before. She missed them so much that her eyes could no longer hold them. She didn't dare to imagine her parents still living the same life as before, and she couldn't bear it for another day. She wanted to go home now.
