Xu Mo was completely baffled. What was the point of learning a foreign language out of the blue?
The dog system, couldn't we get some realistic rewards?
Like a miracle drug to cure Shen Manni's brain from going haywire.
Countless French words, meanings, and grammar seamlessly integrated into his mind.
The notoriously difficult French language now felt like his native tongue, deeply ingrained in Xu Mo's mind.
As a result, his aura elevated to a whole new level!
"Ms. Zhou, Mr. Xu, here is the menu for our restaurant," the blonde foreign manager hadn't left yet.
Even though she was the restaurant manager, it was customary for such minor tasks as taking orders to be handled by the waitstaff.
But she still stayed behind to personally attend to them, clearly not fully trusting her subordinates!
"Merci! Belle madame (Thank you, beautiful lady)," Xu Mo took the menu and said instinctively.
He was a bit baffled himself when the words came out.
The blonde's eyes lit up instantly, looking at Xu Mo with great surprise, her heart filled with indescribable joy and excitement.
In a foreign land, encountering someone who could speak her native language was an exhilarating experience.
And Xu Mo spoke so fluently!
The blonde's impressive assets trembled slightly as she conversed with him in fluent French, "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to know French!"
Xu Mo was taken aback; this was quite incredible.
He could understand everything the foreigner was saying.
Harvesting the system's benefits was so satisfying!
Zhou Qiaoqiao, sitting beside him, was equally astonished. She couldn't understand French!
English, she could manage. But other languages were beyond her.
For people of their caliber, spending time on learning languages was less valuable and meaningful than focusing on business.
Languages were merely a tool for communication.
Hiring a few translators could solve the language barrier, right?
But there was something undeniably satisfying about being able to speak and understand oneself.
Feeling the devil woman's astonished gaze, Xu Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of inner satisfaction. He smiled and continued in French, "I only know a little."
"It's said that Dragon Country men are modest, unlike our foreign men. They boast about even the smallest skills, wanting the whole world to know. Compared to them, Mr. Xu, you are truly too humble," the blonde's eyes sparkled.
The environment could indeed influence a person, and it wasn't false.
The blonde had been in Dragon Country for nearly a decade, deeply experiencing the profoundness of Chinese culture.
In other words, Chinese people were more reserved, while people from her country were more flamboyant.
In comparison, the blonde leaned more towards the former.
While speaking, the blonde's waist subtly bent forward.
From Xu Mo's perspective, he could clearly see the prominent area.
My goodness!
Even bigger and more exaggerated than Zhou Qiaoqiao's!
Growing that big must have been quite the ordeal.
Out of friendly values towards foreign friends,
Xu Mo smiled, "Don't say that. It's just cultural differences that lead to different lifestyles. There's no good or bad in the world, only people with good or bad perceptions."
The blonde's eyes lit up even more.
Foreigners were naturally more open-minded.
Plus, Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn't understand French.
The blonde's courage grew.
Xu Mo was undoubtedly the handsomest Dragon Country man she had ever seen!
French people revered romantic love above all else!
As long as there was love, everything else could be transcended!
Even if Xu Mo was penniless, the blonde would still choose to support him.
"Mr. Xu, we have a special dish in our restaurant, French native oysters, which can only be enjoyed when your lover is not around."
The blonde said seriously.
When Zhou Qiaoqiao wasn't paying attention,
She subtly winked at Xu Mo!
Sss----
Xu Mo suddenly took a sharp breath.
[Holy crap?! You're bold! Trying to steal me away from the devil woman right in front of her?]
[I don't think my charm is strong enough to make a woman fall for me at first sight. There's something fishy about this blonde! Definitely fishy!]
[Why don't we do this, I'll sneak back later tonight to explore further? I'm just curious about what French native cuisine is like, absolutely no other ulterior motives]
Xu Mo subconsciously swallowed.
His thoughts were all heard by Zhou Qiaoqiao.
Just as Xu Mo was about to respond, looking forward to the blonde's reaction,
Zhou Qiaoqiao suddenly said with a smirk,
"Is this how your restaurant treats guests?"
The unexpected voice
Startled Xu Mo, his little friend, and the blonde!
Meeting the devil woman's gaze,
The blonde felt like she was instantly seen through.
Cold sweat trickled down her back as she quickly apologized in Chinese,
"I'm terribly sorry, Ms. Zhou. I... I was just so excited to meet a guest who could speak my native language in Dragon Country, so I talked a bit too much."
Zhou Qiaoqiao raised a hand to support her chin, tapping the table lightly with her fingers.
"I've decided on my order, please have the kitchen prepare it,"
As she spoke, she pushed the menu with checked items back to the corner of the table.
The blonde took the menu, nodding repeatedly, almost fleeing in panic.
Not daring to look at Xu Mo again,
She didn't even ask for the menu in Xu Mo's hand.
Xu Mo looked at the devil woman with a smirk, then at the flustered blonde.
He was utterly bewildered, shouting,
"Hey, I haven't ordered yet!"
The blonde didn't dare to look back,
Disappearing in a flash.
This was Dragon Country, Magic City, Xu Family and Zhou Family's territory!
Not to mention the Xu Family,
A single Zhou Family could crush her like an ant.
The best way to kill someone wasn't to actually kill them,
But to make them suffer while alive,
Desiring death but unable to die, wanting to live but in constant pain!
[Holy crap! What's wrong with the devil woman! I lost a multi-million project!]
[Woohoo... it's so ridiculous! Didn't you say you couldn't understand French?]
Xu Mo asked somewhat angrily, "You said you don't understand French?"
Sitting face to face, Zhou Qiaoqiao's eyes were full of amusement as she nodded, "Yes, I don't."
"Then how did you know about the oysters... cough cough... I mean, isn't it bad to scare her away like that? She's in a foreign land, just wanted to chat with someone who knows French, what's wrong with that?"
"You didn't even give her a chance, and scared her off, don't you feel guilty?"
Xu Mo didn't know if the devil woman felt guilty,
But his little heart was indeed hurting.
[Ah... should I sneak back later after sending the devil woman home?]
Bang---
The table was suddenly slapped.
The sound wasn't loud,
But it had a strong deterrent effect.
Xu Mo was startled.
Zhou Qiaoqiao, with a somewhat sullen face, said, "I can't understand French, but I'm not blind."
"That manager's look at you was clearly different from a normal woman's!"
"Are you too?" Xu Mo's tone suddenly weakened.
Zhou Qiaoqiao shrugged, rolling her eyes at him, "Hehe..."
Xu Mo's mouth twitched.
[Hehe? What the hell are you hehe-ing about? Hehe your big head]
[I lost a major project! A big order! Do you understand my pain?]
[Actually, my French isn't as fluent as it looks, I wanted to review it, is that wrong? Ah... the devil woman is going to kill me, you won't give it to me, someone else will... huh?]
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining cash +66666"
Xu Mo felt a familiar ticklish sensation in his calf.
His head buzzed,
As if a muffled thunderclap had exploded!
"No way?"
Xu Mo's neck stiffened, his gaze shifting downward,
A cute, ultra-cute, black-stocking-clad foot stretched over.
The red open-toe high heels on it had mysteriously disappeared.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's alluring rose-red lips parted slightly, revealing neat teeth, "Are you missing a woman? What's so good about that blonde, relying on perfume to maintain her scent, I'm different."
Gulp-----
Xu Mo swallowed hard, his mind a blank. At this moment, he was already being led by the nose by the she-devil, and he spoke on autopilot.
"What's so different about it?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao's smile was as radiant as a flower, her lithe waist swaying seductively as she didn't directly answer Xu Mo's question.
Because many questions that can be asked are not really questions in themselves.
She tossed the question back at him.
Her tone was as alluring as it could be.
"You guess~"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

ress Kneels to Admit Wrong] [Dealing with Love-Struck Fools] [Forced to the Throne] Ren Tianye transmigrated into a female-oriented novel world, only to find everyone in it was utterly insane. He risked his life to save a young girl from barbarians, but was accused of arriving too late and branded the real murderer. He held a knife to a military officer's neck, demanding the troop tally, but the officer only cared about questioning his wife: "Do you not love me anymore? All these years of affection and time together, they were all a mistake, a mistake!" After seizing Yunji City, the original defending general, to save face with the Empress, knelt on the ground: "You must give Yunji City back to me, or I'll hang myself at the city gate and let everyone know you're a villain!" The young lord of the Duke's mansion, to please a woman, directly ordered a merchant: "The menstrual pads you buy for her must be studded with diamonds. Loving her means giving her the best." Having become a great general, he was about to marry a merchant's daughter, who set a pre-nuptial rule: "I can divorce you anytime. When that happens, you must give me half of your troops and soldiers!" Even the Empress was a severe love-struck fool, who ordered the execution of 70,000 elite troops simply because they stood in the way of her romance. Ren Tianye was speechless. He was done.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
