America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.
Chapter 45: The subtle influence of the study card
Chapter 45: The subtle influence of the study card
"Michael..."
Daniel patted Michael on the backhand and stared at Li Xiaoen with a scrutinizing look, "I feel like Xiaoen is doing this on purpose, plotting against us."
"Yeah, I think so too!"
Michael nodded thoughtfully.
"actually……"
Malcolm, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, couldn't help but interrupt. He looked back and forth at the three of them and said, "I think Sean's vocals are pretty good. His pronunciation is clear and his voice is nice."
"Besides, didn't you say you would admit defeat?"
"Don't look at me like that. If you want the lead singer, just take it. I really don't care."
Li Xiaoen shrugged, took out the remaining Coke from the refrigerator, and threw a can at Michael and Malcolm, "Anyone of you can sing lead vocals."
"Hey, Sean, where's mine?"
Seeing that he was being ignored, Daniel quickly raised his hand to remind him.
"Don't you want to control your diet and exercise?" Li Xiaoen paused as he closed the refrigerator.
"Hey, the focus now is the welcome party. I'll start controlling it after the party."
"..."
"Ok."
Guessing that the other party would have a new reason after the party, Li Xiaoen didn't ask any more questions and threw a can into Daniel's arms.
"hey-hey."
Daniel chuckled twice after receiving the Coke, drank a mouthful, and waved his hand calmly, "Forget it, we are from the West Coast, we are not scoundrels who break our promises."
After hearing what Daniel said, Michael noticed that everyone was looking at him. He couldn't help but spread his hands and said, "If you have no objection, then I have no objection either. I just don't want to embarrass myself. It's fine for Sean to be the lead singer."
As they were talking, Li Xiaoen inexplicably discovered that the lead singer's hand fell on him again.
"Speaking of which, Sean, you're from China. How come your English is more standard and fluent than us Americans?"
The matter was finalized, and Daniel finally realized what was happening. This caused the other two to nod in agreement.
"Each state in the United States has its own language habits and accents. What we learn in China from elementary school is your standard American English."
Seeing the three people's puzzled expressions, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but laugh, "If our English levels are really equal, our English will naturally be more standard than yours."
What Li Xiaoen didn't mention was that he had used it before but didn't feel any obvious changes, and there were no language learning cards that gave physical feedback like sports cards.
At that time, he only felt that he had become more confident in listening, reading, speaking and writing. Whenever he encountered words or phrases that he could not understand, he would be sure that they were technical terms that ordinary American college students did not understand.
Unexpectedly, I still realized the wonderful use of that card in this situation.
"Sean, you really didn't come here to study abroad since high school?"
Michael couldn't believe it and couldn't help asking.
"Unfortunately, I'm a freshman and just came here the month before."
Li Xiaoen looked at Michael and told him the truth with a smile.
"How can your English be so good even though you only studied in China?!"
“It definitely takes persistence and hard work.”
Li Xiaoen shrugged. "I've been trying to watch American TV series and movies since high school, and listen to the news."
In fact, Michael's suspicion was quite accurate. The learning card was a virtual simulation of his three years of English learning. It was reasonable to say that he came to the United States to learn English since he was in high school.
If you think about it carefully, it is reasonable that I can master the English language after studying in China since I was a child, and practicing English for three years in the United States.
"..."
When these words came out, the three people present were dumbfounded. "Son of a bitch, he has such a high talent for learning, he is really handsome."
Daniel took a deep breath, but still couldn't help cursing.
He increasingly found that his roommate from China was a monster.
He is tall and handsome, has a good personality, is eloquent, and can always make girls laugh with just a few words. Now it turns out that he has a strong talent for learning, and his English as a student studying here is more standard than that of an American like him.
Thinking of this, Daniel couldn't help but fall into self-doubt, "Sean, can you tell me, what are your shortcomings?"
"Is it so exaggerated?"
Naturally seeing Daniel's mentality at the moment, Li Xiaoen complained with a helpless smile, but he couldn't help but think about his question carefully.
The main purpose is not to answer, but to improve himself - with a system and the use of virtual simulation cards, he can improve all aspects of himself at very low or no cost.
After glancing at the panel, Li Xiaoen replied under Daniel's gradually growing shocked gaze, "It should be about physical strength. I only have a normal physique now."
"what……"
Daniel's entire aura suddenly withered, and he collapsed on the sofa, looking at Li Xiaoen with a dull look in his eyes. "Is reaching the standard of a normal person already a shortcoming of yours?"
"There must be other aspects. How can I think of them at this moment?"
Li Xiaoen rolled his eyes. "The song has been confirmed. Do we still need to practice? If not, I'm going upstairs to study."
"Ah... practice, of course I practice."
Upon hearing this, Daniel quickly jumped up again. Seeing that Li Xiaoen was still walking up the stairs without looking back, he rushed up and grabbed him.
"Why are you holding me back?"
Li Xiaoen turned around and couldn't help but feel a little headache. "Aren't we supposed to practice? I went upstairs to get my guitar."
"Oh no……"
Daniel then let go of his hand awkwardly.
It was not until they actually started practicing that Li Xiaoen finally discovered the outstanding playing skills of Daniel and the other two.
Although his singing was not very good, Daniel played the cajon surprisingly well.
Michael was responsible for the rap and chorus harmony at the beginning of the song, Malcolm operated the music keyboard and was responsible for the chords and melody, and he was responsible for the lead vocals and guitar. Everyone cooperated surprisingly well.
"Malcolm, don't you want to try the rap at the beginning of the song?"
The first rehearsal went surprisingly well, and Daniel had a further idea: "Don't you black people have a natural sense of music?"
"Don't force it, Malcolm."
Seeing that Malcolm was embarrassed and had difficulty speaking, Li Xiaoen helped explain, "You want him to sing the rap in the beginning, then what about Michael? Does Michael play the keyboard?"
"Of course not."
Michael uttered a sound, and seeing Daniel's regretful expression, he couldn't help but press him down, "Daniel, do you have any opinion about me?"
"How is that possible? Don't I want to make our performance better and more perfect?"
"Hmph... You can talk, but why are you blinking..."
Seeing that the two fellow villagers were caught up in a new round of entanglement, Li Xiaoen took out his mobile phone to take a look.
The bank card received two transfers of US$100,000 each.
Why does Victoria have to transfer twice?
Surprised by the arrogance of this rich woman, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but have a question in his mind.
Just at this moment, a text message came.
└I'll lend you 100,000 yuan. Plus one more thing you promised me before. ┐
Li Xiaoen: “???”
