Chapter 9

Moving out of the thick dictionary, regardless of the grammar, Zhao Mai was finally able to communicate with the Ranger Carl by simply using the connected words.

"From another world? No matter how connected words are, they will not dare to come out. " Carl talks incessantly, and Zhao Mai tries to listen. Even if he doesn't understand, he should be familiar with the pronunciation and tone of the language. Although the pronunciation is marked in the dictionary, and the way of using pinyin is very considerate, every language has its own unique features, which can only be found by listening and speaking more.

Although he didn't understand, it didn't prevent Zhao Mai from parroting. At the beginning, he could only grasp one or two key sounds, and soon he could catch up with half a sentence intermittently. After a while, he could have 70% similarity. This kind of learning speed has never been seen in the past. It may be because of crossing, or feeling the pressure of survival. More likely, it is because he finally meets something he is interested in.

Take English for example, reciting 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 crossing is regarded as a game, he can relax his mind, concentrate his energy, and burst out his amazing enthusiasm for learning.

Human beings are a race good at learning. In the fantasy world, they are "versatile". In terms of game jargon, humans can have one more specialty and one more skill than other races in the beginning. This is a general way of expression, and it will be different for each individual. For example, "Chinese people are good at mathematics" does not mean that everyone can get high marks in mathematics.

It's not like you're in the game world. You can learn a language immediately by opening the skills interface and putting points into the "linguistics" skills. There is no God here, and there is no system to "enlighten". Zhao Mai knows that success may require appropriate opportunities, but there is absolutely no shortcut. So after meeting Carl, he kept learning like a sponge, so as to adapt to the world as soon as possible.

Carl is a forest ranger. He has lived in the forest for most of his life, and occasionally returns to the village where he was born. His duty is to protect the "healthy forest" behind him, to avoid the fierce monsters wandering from the distant wilderness to settle here, and to prevent them from attacking the nearby peaceful villages.

At the southernmost end of the healthy forest is a farming town called neibo, where humans make up the majority, followed by dwarfs. Carl's mother is a native of Nebo, while his father is a half elf and a former generation of Ranger. Nebo is very open and prefers to treat others with a tolerant attitude, so there is no taboo on interracial marriage. Otherwise, Carl's parents would never have had a chance to get together. This attitude also affected Carl. When he saw that the iron pimple from the sky killed chimera, and then came out a strange race with black hair and black eyes, his tolerant attitude didn't let him aim at his forehead as soon as he came up.

However, he still kept alert, listening to Zhao Mai's movements with his ears up, never leaving his arms more than a foot away. However, from the current observation, "visitors from the sky" is very honest, has been focusing on learning to speak, and there is no malicious performance.

He thought it over and decided to try. Beckon Zhao Mai and throw him a dagger. Startled, Zhao Mai hurriedly dodged the dagger and picked it up from the ground. Most of the people who rush to grab the flying knives in the air will end up injured or even disabled. If you don't know martial arts, don't try to be brave. Zhao Mai is more careful than anyone.

This is not the truth of life, but the habit formed from the game. Many games have a "survival" mode. Although there is a huge difference between "survival" and "real survival", the core essence of "if you are not careful, you will die" has not changed.

When I was in college, a classmate once joked that if I went through the Tang and Song Dynasties, I could do it with my own ability. Zhao Mai also laughed at him, "don't think about how, from the era of tetanus but no penicillin, the era of rabies but no vaccine, we should first consider how to live through childhood."

It's his turn to cross by himself. Naturally, he should be more careful. This has nothing to do with the spirit of adventure, it is a necessary caution. Knowing what you can do and doing your best is the most important criterion for survival. On this basis is learning, through learning to know what you should do, how to do the most reasonable.

Carl motioned him to cut the chimera. It's better to peel off the whole skin. Zhao Mai tried. The knife in his hand could cut the subcutaneous fat of chimera, but there was no way for the phloem covered with scales. After a while, he gave up trying to do it with a dagger and went back to dig for chimera's claws.

Carl didn't come up to help either. He dragged the boar to the lake and cleaned it up with water. Zhao Mai's instant reaction just now can't be fake. He has absolutely no martial arts skills, and the threat can really be ignored. So Carl safely took out flint and iron, ignited the prepared hay, then added branches to it, and slowly raised a fire. The skinned pork is put on a thick stick and roasted on the fire. He was convinced that Zhao Mai had no ability to snatch the roast pork.

In a short time, the smell of boar meat floated into Zhao Mai's nostrils, and then caused the roar of his belly. In addition to eating a few biscuits in the middle of the night, Zhao Mai started driving and then passed through. He had never eaten anything in the middle. This was the time when he was hungry. He looked at Carl. The old man didn't want to invite him to eat or drink for the time being. He just focused on baking fresh pork.He was even more hungry and decided to eat a chocolate bar. Maybe it's valuable in the foreign world, but it's more important to keep your strength. So Zhao Mai left his work and went into the car to rummage through his luggage. His eyes naturally caught a glimpse of the electronic clock in the car.

The current time is 8:13 a.m., which is quite different from the sun outside the car. It's normal to have time difference, but there is obviously something wrong with the second reading of the electronic clock in the car.

Zhao Mai believes in his biological clock. He knows how long a second is. In his mind, in the past 30 seconds, only one second had passed in the car. There was a gap of 30 times. When the car is at home, its travel time is accurate, and its internal parts will not be affected by the outside world. So, the time flow rate on both sides is different?

If you spend a month here (assuming a month here is also 30 days), isn't it just one day at home? Zhao Mai originally planned to bring some rare things back - chimera is a good choice - but when he knows that time has become abundant, can he not do more things?

With time, coupled with his brain full of whimsy, not lack of diligence and toughness, how can not mix out a man of indomitable spirit? If he can't succeed in this way, he should be ashamed to choke himself to death.

Alien world, I have come to rob you!
