Chapter 838: Chapter 320: Where Is My Husband? (Part 3)
When a dictionary shimmering with mysterious starlight appeared in the system warehouse, Zhou Wang immediately clicked “use.” Accompanied by Zhou Wang’s thoughts, the dictionary turned into nothingness, and then a cool sensation enveloped Zhou Wang’s brain, dissipating in an instant.
Is that it?
Zhou Wang blinked, feeling as if there was nothing particularly special…
However, the [dictionary] had explained it only increased his talent, so did he still need to study it himself?
Feeling uncertain, Zhou Wang downloaded a foreign language learning tool directly from the app store on his phone, then opened the app and started trying it out.
A moment later…
“Holy shit!”
“What are you doing?”
Miss Yang, who was chatting with someone on her phone, was startled by Zhou Wang and looked up in surprise.
“Hey, Sister Mi, let me quiz you.”
“Quiz me on what?”
Seeing Zhou Wang’s mysterious demeanor, Yang Mi asked curiously.
“Do you know how to say ‘Where’s my husband’ in eight different languages?”
“…Deep well!”
Yang Mi was stunned, gave Zhou Wang a glare, and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Zhou Wang felt slightly disappointed because from Yang Mi’s reaction, he couldn’t judge whether she’d seen that video at all, but clearly, it wasn’t something to be pressed on. Half of his mischievous curiosity satisfied, Zhou Wang returned his focus to language learning.
This [Magic Dictionary] is simply out of this world!
The simple words “Language Proficiency Talent,” with the most straightforward manifestation, meant that Zhou Wang possessed abilities such as “never forget,” “deduce from one instance to another,” and “generalize” in language learning.
Any word, he can remember after seeing it once; any pronunciation, he can imitate perfectly after hearing it once…
Fast, so fast!
It felt similar to his second round of reading, but the sensation of “divine assistance” was even more apparent.
Zhou Wang initially thought that although he exchanged for the [dictionary], he was about to head to the Romantic Country, wondering if cramming at the last minute would be too late, but now he found his worries completely unnecessary.
In less than 10 hours, he should be able to have a basic grasp of French, a language notoriously ranked among the top ten difficult languages in the world.
And the language proficiency talent the system granted him was not limited to just French; the definition of “current world mainstream languages” refers to the generally spoken eight languages: English, Chinese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Arabic, and Japanese.
Once mastering these eight languages, he would have the confidence to wander the world.
Then Zhou Wang tried some minor languages like Korean and Thai, discovering that although the learning speed wasn’t as fast as with major languages, it was still incredible.
If Zhou Wang could settle down and concentrate, in less than a year, there might be no person… or species he couldn’t communicate with in this world.
Mom will never have to worry about me watching movies without “Chinese subtitles” again…
The time spent learning always flies by, when Zhou Wang was startled awake by the ringtone of a voice call, it was already six in the afternoon.
On the other side, Yang Mi had at some point put down her phone, resting her chin while looking at Zhou Wang with a curious gaze, probably puzzled over what Zhou Wang, wearing headphones, had been muttering for the past hour.
Zhou Wang picked up the phone, slightly surprised because the call was from Qiu Zeyu.
He answered the phone, and Qiu Zeyu’s voice came through: “Buddy, heard you’re on your way to Paris?”
“Did Zihan tell you that?”
Zhou Wang wasn’t surprised and immediately guessed.
“Yeah, heard you took a flight to go shopping, that’s quite a distance you traveled…”
“Haven’t even left Earth, so it’s not that far… Brother Yu, you called me, is there any movement from the Xue family?”
Zhou Wang quipped and then asked.
“No, not that fast, it’s been less than a day; they probably haven’t even figured out what happened last night. I called you because of something else.”
“What instructions do you have for me, Brother Yu?”
“It’s not exactly an instruction, but strictly speaking, this matter kind of obliges you, Mr. Zhou…”
“What exactly is it?”
Zhou Wang was even more curious.
“Here’s the thing, TikTok, the overseas version of Douyin, just happens to be hosting a carnival-like event over there soon. You also know these events inevitably need some sponsorships. Currently, some brands have shown interest in negotiation, but all have rather harsh conditions. The person in charge over there can’t make a decision due to authority issues, so…”
After hearing Qiu Zeyu explain, Zhou Wang finally understood…
What Qiu Zeyu was asking for wasn’t really a private matter.
Since the international version of Douyin launched globally in 2017, with the rapid development of the Douyin Group, the development momentum of overseas companies has also been very strong.
By 2024, the global monthly active users of overseas companies have exceeded one billion, making it one of the most favorite short video platforms among young people.
Especially in the Goddess Country, India, and Southeast Edge regions, the influence of overseas companies is astonishing.
Only in Europe, the development of overseas companies has been somewhat awkward.
Except for in a few regions where things went smoothly, promotion in other places met with varying degrees of resistance, remaining lukewarm.
While other reasons are set aside for now, just a look at the news reveals that certain places regulate TikTok to an unreasonable extent.
