Lin Chen gave the system ten thousand praises in his heart.
He could master a foreign language proficiently in just three hours.
That efficiency was insanely good.
Although it could not compare to the brute-force check-in system, he naturally learned it while teaching Xiaoqian.
He enjoyed the process very much.
"Daddy, you weren't paying attention."
"Children who don't pay attention don't get little red flowers."
Lin Xiaoqian said cutely.
Lin Chen came back to his senses. "Teacher Xiaoqian is right. Teacher Xiaoqian, I'll definitely pay attention. Please continue the lesson."
"Okay!"
Lin Xiaoqian continued teaching Lin Chen.
She had been born in China, but she had spent some time abroad. Xu Mengyao also taught her English, so she knew quite a bit. Right now, she really did teach in a fairly convincing manner.
Time passed second by second.
A great deal of English information poured into Lin Chen's mind.
He could master English proficiently in just three hours. In half an hour, Lin Chen had gained far more than he had learned before.
"Teacher Xiaoqian, shall we study again this afternoon? It's almost noon, and I need to cook for Teacher Xiaoqian."
Lin Chen raised his hand and said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian giggled. "Daddy, class is over, so you can't call me Teacher Xiaoqian anymore. I'm your baby."
"Yes, you're my baby."
Lin Chen rubbed Lin Xiaoqian's Little Head, warmth filling his heart.
"Then I'm going to cook for my little baby. Xiaoqian, draw and play by yourself. You can teach me again this afternoon."
Lin Chen soon got busy in the kitchen.
After Five Minutes, his Cooking Skill began improving rapidly.
"System, do the first five minutes not count?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
The system replied, "Host, only continuous activity lasting more than five minutes will be counted. Once it is counted, the first five minutes will be included as well."
"Got it."
A fleeting burst of enthusiasm would not do.
But the system's requirements were not high. Five minutes of enthusiasm was enough.
Half an Hour later, Lin Chen finished cooking.
"Daddy, it smells so good."
"It must be delicious. I want to eat two bowls of rice."
Lin Xiaoqian came over after catching the scent.
Lin Chen picked Lin Xiaoqian up. "Xiaoqian, let's wash our hands first. Then you can sit in the Dining Chair and eat by yourself, okay?"
"You're not a one-year-old baby anymore. You can eat on your own, right?"
Lin Xiaoqian nodded repeatedly.
Lin Chen soon took her to wash her hands.
Lin Xiaoqian looked at the dishes on the Dining Table. "Daddy, the dishes you made are so pretty. They look so delicious."
"Daddy, you're amazing."
Lin Chen served Lin Xiaoqian some Cooked Food with baby utensils. "Xiaoqian, today let's eat one more slice of green vegetable, okay?"
Lin Xiaoqian's Little Face fell.
But once the vegetables entered her mouth, she found that they were not so bad after all.
This had much to do with the improvement in Lin Chen's Cooking Skill.
More than Two Hours later.
After her nap, Lin Xiaoqian eagerly continued being a little teacher.
Lin Chen had only studied for half an hour in the morning, but he studied for an hour in the afternoon.
Lin Chen felt that he could already communicate fluently in English.
"System, what is your standard for proficiency?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
The system replied, "Host, the standard for proficiency is being able to perform Simultaneous Interpretation."
Lin Chen: "..."
What a proficiency standard.
By that standard, most people who spoke English as their native language probably could not achieve it even after studying their entire lives.
No wonder he had only studied for an hour and a half out of the three hours and already felt so impressive.
"Qian Qian, it's time for outdoor exercise. Didn't we buy a soccer ball? Daddy will take you out to play soccer."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
They needed one or two hours of outdoor exercise every day.
"Okay."
"Let's go play soccer!"
Lin Xiaoqian said happily.
When she lived in Xu Mengyao's villa, the nanny could push her outside to play, but she would basically never arrange outdoor exercise for her.
After all, children from wealthy families were precious.
What if she got bumped or hurt during outdoor exercise?
"Xiaoqian, Daddy will hold you, and you hold the soccer ball."
Lin Chen took out the soccer ball and said with a smile.
"Mhm, mhm."
Lin Xiaoqian wrapped both Little Hands around the soccer ball.
Lin Chen soon brought Lin Xiaoqian downstairs. Ziyuan Community was an upscale residential community, and it had a large stretch of grass within its grounds.
"Xiaoqian, kick it to Daddy."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Hey!"
Lin Xiaoqian kicked hard, sending it two or three meters away.
"Xiaoqian, catch the ball."
Lin Chen gently kicked it over.
Five Minutes soon passed.
The system's voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind. "Host, your Ball Skills have begun improving. They will reach Master level in ten hours and Grandmaster level in twenty hours."
A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.
With levels, it was much clearer.
"Ten hours... With one or two hours outdoors every day, in about a week, my Ball Skills will be good enough for the World Cup."
Lin Chen felt utterly delighted.
However, he had no plans to become a professional player in the future.
Wasn't being a Stay-at-home Dad and raising Lin Xiaoqian well much better?
"System, mastering a language proficiently only takes three hours, while this takes ten hours. Is this more difficult?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
The system replied, "Yes, Host. Even three-year-old children can learn a language, so its learning difficulty is relatively low."
"Mhm."
Half an Hour later, Lin Xiaoqian wore a miserable expression. "Daddy, this soccer ball is disobedient. Let's buy a new one."
When she kicked with her little foot, she often missed it.
Lin Chen smiled. "Xiaoqian, it's not that the soccer ball is disobedient. Xiaoqian just needs more practice. Look at Daddy."
As he spoke, Lin Chen flicked the ball up with his foot.
He juggled the ball continuously with both feet, keeping it from falling for dozens of touches in a row.
"Wow!"
Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen admiringly. "Daddy, Yangyang says his daddy is the best, but he's wrong. My daddy is the best."
Lin Chen stopped.
He crouched down and said with a smile, "Xiaoqian, we shouldn't compare ourselves with others. We just need to study hard ourselves, understand?"
"As long as Xiaoqian studies seriously, she's already wonderful."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded as if she understood.
"Let's keep practicing passing the ball."
Another Half an Hour passed, and Lin Xiaoqian's Little Face scrunched up. "Daddy, I'm so tired. Let's go home and sleep."
Lin Chen smiled. "You slept at noon. We only sleep at night. But since you're tired, we won't play soccer anymore. Let's put the ball back at home, then go to the bookstore and buy you some books."
"Let's buy lots and lots of storybooks."
Lin Xiaoqian's eyes lit up. "Okay, Daddy, let's go to the bookstore."
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.
Lin Chen listened to Lin Xiaoqian teach for another hour and a half.
"Host, you have already mastered English proficiently. Continuing to listen to Lin Xiaoqian's lessons can no longer improve you."
The system reminded Lin Chen.
She had taught him for a total of three hours, and Lin Xiaoqian had nothing left to teach.
"Teacher Xiaoqian, you just taught something you taught before."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoqian's Little Face reddened. "Daddy, I don't know anymore. Daddy, have Mommy teach you English from now on."
"Mommy is really good at English."
Learning a foreign language from Xu Mengyao?
That... actually seemed pretty nice.
"Xiaoqian, you're amazing. After you taught me, Daddy remembered a lot of English knowledge I had forgotten before."
"How about Daddy teaches you?"
The roles of teacher and student had switched.
Lin Xiaoqian was a little stunned. Why had Daddy suddenly become so amazing?
