Chapter 6: Mastering a foreign language is very important

  Lin Xiao's so-called preparation was actually just going back to her own room outside and saying a word to her grandparents.

  As a good kid who rarely lied since childhood, Lin Xiao felt his face burning when he told his grandfather that he would go out with classmates in the afternoon and wouldn't even come back for dinner.

  Fortunately, Grandpa didn't notice. Maybe he did, but he didn't expose Lin Xiao's lie, smiled and nodded in agreement, and also reminded Lin Xiao to come back early tonight and be careful on the way.

  This gave Lin Xiao a sense of guilt, but fortunately this feeling came and went quickly. Soon his mind was fully occupied with the upcoming 'crossing', and he excitedly skipped along the way, causing many passersby to cast sidelong glances at him.

  After realizing this, Lin Xiao finally calmed down and found a nearby construction site that had stopped work. Without much effort, he climbed over the wall and looked around, but there was no one in sight.

  "Nobody, great!"

  The first time using the Wan Jie system, Lin Xiao appeared to be somewhat overly tense. After finally calming down his excited mood, he found a hidden location and then silently recited 'enter' in his heart. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

  ……

  Re-entering the Wan Jie system, Lin Xiao couldn't wait and shouted: "Xin Er, can we go now?"

  "Alright, brother."

  Lin Xiang rushed in front of Lin Xiao, pulled Lin Xiao's hand and walked towards the slowly rising 'Dajian Interface'.

  "Brother, which level of small world do you need to enter?" Lin Xiang turned her head and asked Lin Xiao.

  "What level is it?" Lin Xiao had already thought about it and said directly: "Fifty, keeping fifty for unexpected needs."

  Lin Xiang nodded and stretched out her hand directly at the Gate of the Great Thousand Worlds. The gate, which was like a mirror, immediately turned into a faint red color.

  "Alright, brother, you can go in now. Be careful!" Lin Xiang said after finishing everything and turned around to say to Lin Xiao, with a tone of concern in her words.

  Lin Xiao nodded excitedly and walked to the front of the Dajian Boundary Gate which had already turned pale red.

  "Xiao Yun, wait for me!" Lin Xiao thought silently in his heart and directly stepped into the Gate of Dacheng.

  Whoosh!

  A faint red glow flashed, and the elliptical Dajiang Gate, about two meters high, suddenly shrunk down to a tiny point of light and disappeared.

  ……

  A boisterous street, Lin Xiao suddenly appeared here, those pedestrians seemed to have not seen him, hastily passing by his side.

  After regaining consciousness from dizziness, Lin Xiao finally had time to look around at his surroundings.

  The road, streetlights, pedestrians, mobile phones, and all sorts of cars on the road, it's clearly a modern city. What catches Lin Xiao's attention is that all the pedestrians are foreigners, speaking fluent English, and the shops and signs by the roadside are all in English.

  "Another world overseas?" Lin Xiao murmured to himself.

  Lin Xiao is also a well-known second-year student at Linhai University, and he himself is not the kind of person who mixes up his days. For English, he is still relatively familiar with it, although he can't say that he can speak fluently, but he can basically understand what's being said, and he can communicate with foreigners in a calm tone, which is okay.

  "Hey! Sir, can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

  Lin Xiao stopped a blond foreigner who looked quite kind and expressed his request.

  "Oh! Of course, are you Chinese?" The blonde foreigner enthusiastically handed her phone to Lin Xiao and looked him up and down.

  "Yes, sir." Lin Xiao took the phone. He had seen several foreigners passing by him holding phones that were quite fashionable, not much different from the phones in his world. He borrowed the phone just to know where he was now. If he asked someone directly, it would be a bit strange. With the temperament of foreigners, it's possible that they might call the police directly. So, to avoid trouble, Lin Xiao thought of borrowing the phone and checking the map function on it.

  On one hand, Lin Xiao chatted with the blonde foreigner in broken sentences, while on the other hand, he skillfully opened the map app on his phone.

  "Huh? Santos? Never heard of him."

  Lin Xiao did find out which city this was, but it turned out that he had never heard of it.

  After further investigation, Lin Xiao soon found out that he was currently in a city called Santos in the United States.

  Handing the phone back to the foreigner who was still chattering away, Lin Xiao chatted with him for a few sentences and took the opportunity to ask about things he was interested in before bidding farewell and leaving.

  Finally got rid of that foreigner, Lin Xiao patted his chest and smiled wryly.

  "These foreigners are too enthusiastic!"

  Just now, that foreigner kept pulling Lin Xiao to ask about some things in China. His speech was really too fast, and Lin Xiao only heard the general meaning. At first, he could still answer, but soon he found himself not understanding very well, so he hurriedly said he had something else to do, which finally let the other person let him go.

  "It's still because my foundation in English is not good enough!" Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, and then immediately started thinking about what he should do.

  First of all, this is a world similar to Earth. The people here also call this planet Earth. It's still the solar system, and that bright hot thing above our heads is the sun, there's no mistake about that.

  But at the same time, this earth is not that earth, and there are still many differences between them. For example, Lin Xiao found that the United States on this earth does not have some places he is familiar with.

  New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles... none of these famous cities were there, but instead some unheard-of cities seemed to be very famous, including the 'Santos' city under his feet.

  "The top priority is to find a place to live first."

  As for money, Lin Xiao wasn't worried because he had already asked Lin Xiang during his descent. In this world, he could use 1st-level Small Boundary Power to exchange for money and other items.

  Found a park nearby, Lin Xiao sat down on an empty bench and then contacted Lin Xiang.

  "Xīn ér, wǒ xiǎng duì huàn yīxiē měi yuán."

  Translation: "Honey, I want to exchange some dollars."

  "Alright, the exchange rate between dollars and 1st-level Small Boundary is 100:1. One point of 1st-level Small Boundary can be exchanged for one hundred dollars. Brother, how much do you want to exchange?"

  The ratio of 100 to 1 is not low, but the preciousness of Jie Li far exceeds that of the US dollar. If it weren't for the sake of development in the early stages, Lin Xiao would never have used Jie Li to exchange for US dollars.

  In fact, he can also exchange some gold or jewelry and so on, in terms of price, it is much more cost-effective than exchanging US dollars directly, but Lin Xiao is not familiar with the local conditions, where to sell these things?

  So after some thought, Lin Xiao still chose to exchange it directly for US dollars.
