372: Master-level English

Su Qing nodded and immediately picked up the hotel menu to study it with Su Ya.

Both of them had mediocre English skills and could only barely understand a few simple words; they looked at the technical terms on the menu with blank expressions.

Lei Jun also couldn't understand the menu at all due to the language barrier, so she just told them to order some local USA specialties without making it too complicated.

Su Qing and Su Ya discussed for a long time and spent a while checking translation software before finally finishing the order.

Before long, the hotel waiter pushed in a dining cart, wearing a neat uniform and maintaining a respectful attitude as they arranged the dishes neatly on the dining table.

The Boston lobster was prepared by steaming to preserve its original flavor; the meat was springy and firm, served with butter sauce and lemon slices. Squeezing a few drops of lemon juice and dipping it in the butter sauce made it taste incredibly fresh.

In addition, there was steak, specifically top-tier Wagyu, seared to medium. When cut, the meat inside was tender and pink, rich in juices and delicate in texture, served with black pepper sauce, roasted potatoes, and broccoli.

Finally, there was the classic USA apple pie; the crust was crispy, and the apple filling was sweet and sour. Paired with vanilla ice cream, the contrast of hot and cold provided an excellent mouthfeel.

The group sat down to savor the meal slowly. It had to be said that the culinary skills of a top five-star hotel were indeed outstanding; every dish was prepared deliciously.

Lei Jun picked up her knife and fork and tasted the New York strip steak. The meat was tender, perfectly seasoned, and without a hint of gaminess... Su Qing and Su Ya praised the food as they ate.

"This apple pie is just too delicious!"

Lei Yue, on the other hand, preferred the Cobb salad; it was refreshing and not greasy, making it perfect for eating after a long flight.

Lei Jun looked at A Fu crouching by her feet; he was sitting obediently, eyes fixed on the food on the table, tail wagging gently in anticipation.

Lei Jun casually cut a large piece of chicken and handed it to A Fu's mouth.

A Fu immediately leaned in and devoured it greedily. After finishing, he licked Lei Jun's hand, wagging his tail even more happily with a look of pure satisfaction on his face.

A Fu was a Future Technology Guardian Dog; in truth, he didn't need to eat to maintain normal operations as his energy came from an internal core device—eating was just an instinctive preference.

However, every time he ate delicious food, A Fu would be very happy, so whenever there was an opportunity, Lei Jun would share some tasty treats with him.

After finishing the meal, Su Qing and Su Ya took the initiative to clear the table, organizing the tableware and placing it by the door for the waiter to collect.

Lei Ying carefully checked the entire suite, including doors, windows, appliances, and furniture, to ensure no listening devices or cameras were installed. After confirming there were no security risks, she returned to the living room and stood alertly beside Lei Jun.

Lei Jun walked over to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and picked up the remote to turn on the TV.

The screen immediately showed USA television programs, including news, talk shows, dramas, and sports matches.

But she couldn't understand a single word and could only stare blankly at the screen, having no idea what was being said.

She tried changing several channels, but whether it was news broadcasts or drama dialogues, she couldn't understand any of it, which inevitably left her feeling a bit helpless.

She took out her phone and scrolled through Dragon Country's social media for a while. Seeing the netizens' discussions about her, she smiled to herself but didn't pay too much attention.

Due to jet lag, she was feeling increasingly drowsy, and her eyelids felt heavy.

Since there was nothing else to do, rather than staring blankly at a TV she couldn't understand, she figured it was better to rest early and recharge so she could be in her best state for the visit to Walmart headquarters tomorrow.

Lei Jun got up to wash, changed into comfortable pajamas, and lay down in bed.

Su Qing had already dimmed the lights and drawn the curtains, creating a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment.

Lei Jun closed her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.

Su Qing and Su Ya also returned to their respective rooms to rest, and the entire suite became very quiet... At 7:00 AM the next morning, Su Qing gently walked into Lei Jun's bedroom and carefully woke her up: "Miss Lei Jun, it's time to get up. I've prepared breakfast for you and set it in the dining room."

Lei Jun opened her eyes and rubbed her brow, feeling that the fatigue from jet lag had lessened significantly and her mind was much clearer. She nodded and said, "I understand."

After getting up and washing, she went to the dining room to have breakfast with everyone.

Breakfast was relatively light, consisting of American-style fried eggs, bacon, toasted bread, as well as hot milk, orange juice, and fresh fruit—simple yet energizing.

After breakfast, Lei Jun returned to her room and leaned back on the sofa.

She subconsciously opened the system panel, originally intending to see if there were any relevant tasks or items, only to unexpectedly find a new item in the system store—[Mastery Level English], priced at 10,000 godly tycoon coins.

Lei Jun's heart stirred, and she immediately said to the system, "System, give me a detailed introduction to this [Mastery Level English]. What exactly are its effects?"

The system immediately provided a detailed description.

"[Mastery Level English] comprehensively enhances the host's English proficiency, covering the four core modules of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It allows for mastery of various English accents worldwide, including American, British, Australian, Canadian, etc... Proficiency in professional English terminology across multiple fields such as business, law, technology, medicine, and diplomacy... It grants the ability for barrier-free, fluent communication with native speakers, impromptu speaking, writing professional academic papers and commercial contracts, and handling top-tier English exams (IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, etc.)... The overall language level is equivalent to a PhD in English, allowing for easy handling of various English scenarios worldwide without any communication barriers."

After seeing the system's introduction, Lei Jun was instantly overjoyed, her face filled with happiness and surprise.

This was simply a godsend!

She happened to be in the USA right now, and whether it was communication and negotiation for work or daily interactions in life, she needed English. This item solved her urgent problem perfectly.

Previously, because of the language barrier, ordering food and watching TV were very inconvenient, and she had to rely on others for work. With this [Mastery Level English], she could communicate independently, no longer being restricted by others, and her work efficiency would improve significantly.

Lei Jun immediately checked her balance of godly tycoon coins; it was exactly enough at 10,000.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"System, I'm buying it! Exchange for [Mastery Level English]!"

[Ding! The host has successfully exchanged for [Mastery Level English]. The item has been automatically integrated into the host's body, and English proficiency is being activated... Activation successful!]

As the system prompt faded, a gentle warm current instantly surged into Lei Jun's body, flowing through her bloodstream and finally gathering in her brain.

Lei Jun immediately felt as if her brain had been activated; countless English words, grammar, sentence structures, accent techniques, and professional terms flooded into her mind like a tide, quickly integrating and settling into a complete language system.
