Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 9 Babbling

Taking out the thick dictionary, regardless of the grammar, Zhao Mai was finally able to communicate with the ranger Karl simply by using the words connected in series.

Come from another world, right? You dare to come out even if you can't connect the language. Carl babbled non-stop, Zhao Mai listened hard, even if he didn't understand well, he had to familiarize himself with the pronunciation of this language first. and tone. Although the pronunciation is marked in the dictionary, and the pinyin is used very thoughtfully, each language has its own uniqueness, which can only be discovered by listening and speaking more.

Although he couldn't understand it at all, it didn't prevent Zhao Mai from parroting his tongue. At the beginning, he could only grasp one or two key pronunciations, but soon he could follow the first half of the sentence intermittently, and after a while, he was 70% similar. This kind of learning speed has never appeared in the past, it may be because of time travel, or it may be because he felt the pressure of survival, and it is more likely because he finally encountered something he was interested in.

Take English as an example, memorizing words is always boring, but playing games is different. The words learned through various RPG games can account for more than half of his vocabulary. If he regards time-traveling as a game, then he can relax his mind and concentrate his energy, thus bursting out an amazing enthusiasm for learning.

Human beings are a race that is good at learning, and in the fantasy world, they are versatile. According to the terminology of the game, humans can have one more specialty and one more skill than other races from the beginning. This is an approximate way of expression, and it will be different for each individual. Just like Chinese people are good at mathematics does not mean that everyone can get high scores in mathematics.

This is not the soul transmigration into the game world, as long as you open the skill interface and invest points in the linguistics skill, you can immediately learn a language. There is no main god here, let alone a system to enlighten people. Zhao Mai knows that success may require the right opportunity, but there is absolutely no shortcut. So after meeting Carl, he kept learning like a sponge absorbing water, so that he could adapt to the world as soon as possible.

Karl is a jungle ranger. He has lived in the forest for most of his life, and only occasionally visits the village where he was born. His duty is to protect the Healthy Forest behind him, to prevent the ferocious monsters wandering from the farther wilderness from settling here, and to prevent them from attacking the nearby peaceful villages.

At the southernmost end of the Kangjian Forest is a town called Neibo, which is dominated by farming. Humans account for the majority, followed by gnomes. Karl's mother is from Nebo Town, and his father is a half-elf and a jungle ranger from the previous generation. Nebo Town is very open and prefers to treat others with a tolerant attitude, so there is no taboo on interracial marriage. If not, Carl's parents would never have had the chance to be together. This attitude also affected Carl. When he saw the iron bump falling from the sky smashing the Chimera to death, and then a strange race with black hair and black eyes came out of it, his tolerant attitude did not allow him to shoot at the forehead as soon as he came up.

However, he still remained vigilant, pricking up his ears to listen to Zhao Mai's movements, and his hands were never more than a foot away from the weapon. However, judging from current observations, the Heavenly Visitor is very honest and has been concentrating on learning how to speak without showing any malice.

He pondered for a while and decided to test it out. He beckoned Zhao Mai over, and threw him a dagger casually. Zhao Mai was startled, dodged the dagger in a hurry, and then picked it up from the ground. If you rashly grab the knives flying in the air with your hands, most of them will end up injured or even disabled. If you don't know martial arts, don't show off. Zhao Mai is more careful than anyone else.

This is not a reason for life, but a habit developed from the game. Many games have a survival mode. Although there is still a huge difference from real survival, the core essence of you will die if you are not careful has not changed.

When I was in college, some classmates once joked that if I traveled to the Tang and Song Dynasties, I could do whatever I wanted with my own abilities. Zhao Mai also laughed at him, Don't think about it. From the era of tetanus but no penicillin, and the era of rabies but no vaccine, let's first think about how to live through childhood.

It was his turn to cross by himself, so he was naturally careful. This has nothing to do with the adventurous spirit, it is a necessary caution. Knowing what you can do and doing it the best you can is the most important rule of survival. On this basis is learning, through learning to understand what you should do, and how to do it is the most reasonable.

Karl motioned for him to cut up the chimera, preferably with the whole skin off. Zhao Mai tried it, and the knife in his hand could cut through the subcutaneous fat of the Chimera, but he couldn't do anything about the bast covered with scales. He tossed about for a while, then gave up trying to do it with the dagger, and went back to digging at the Chimera's claws.

Carl didn't come up to help, dragged the wild boar to the lake, and cleaned it up with lake water. Zhao Mai's instant reaction just now couldn't be faked, he has absolutely no martial arts skills, and the threat is really negligible. So Karl took out the flint and iron pieces with confidence, ignited the dry grass that had been prepared in advance, and then added branches to it, slowly raising a fire. Skinned pork is threaded on a thick wooden stick and grilled over a fire. He was sure that Zhao Mai was incapable of snatching the roast pork.

After a while, the smell of wild boar wafted into Zhao Mai's nostrils, which immediately caused a roar in his belly. Except for eating a few biscuits in the middle of the night, Zhao Mai started driving and crossed without eating anything in the middle. It was a time when he was very hungry. He looked at Carl, this old thing didn't intend to invite him to eat and drink for the time being, but was only concentrating on roasting fresh pork.

He was even hungrier and decided to eat a chocolate bar. Maybe this thing is quite valuable in another world, but it is more important to save strength to work. So Zhao Mai dropped his work, got into the car and looked through the luggage, and naturally caught a glimpse of the electronic clock in the car.

The current time shows 8:13 in the morning, which is completely different from the sun-topped environment outside the car. Jet lag is normal, but there is obviously a problem with the countdown of the electronic clock in the car.

Zhao Mai believes in his biological clock, he knows very well how long a second is. Thirty seconds passed in his mind, but he only walked in the car for a second, and there was a gap of thirty times. The time of the car is accurate when it is in its hometown, and its internal parts will not be affected by the outside world. In this way, the time flow on both sides is different?

If you live here for a month (assuming there are thirty days in a month), wouldn't you only spend one day at home? Zhao Mai originally planned to go back with some rare things-chimera skin is a good choice-but knowing that time has become abundant, wouldn't he be able to do more things?

With time, coupled with my mind full of whimsical ideas, not to mention the lack of hard work and toughness, why can't I become an indomitable person? If this is not successful, he should be so ashamed to inhale the exhaust gas and choke himself to death.

Another world, I'm here to rob you!
