Chapter 770 - So You Were Waiting Here, System (1/2)
Thailand’s time zone was about one hour earlier than China’s. Therefore, when Yuan Zhou woke up naturally, he checked the time on reflex.
“Huh? It’s still four in the morning? Well, I’ll sleep a bit more then,” Yuan Zhou placed the phone down and continued sleeping.
But he was jolted awake not long after he lied down again.
“Wait a moment, the time zone here is one hour earlier, right?” Yuan Zhou opened his eyes and got off the bed after he recalled this.
He cleaned himself, dressed up, and left after putting on his running shoes. He was doing the same thing as what he would do when in China.
However, since he was not familiar with this place, he did not go outside. Instead, he went to the hotel’s gym.
When the elevator reached the floor, Yuan Zhou headed straight to the gym. Only when he reached did he notice that the gym had yet to open.
“It’s not opened yet?” Yuan Zhou was speechless as he stared at the shut door.
“Fine, I will go run around the hall downstairs,” Yuan Zhou went downstairs and started his exercise routine.
After finishing his exercises, Yuan Zhou returned to his own room and took another shower. The temperature in Thailand was rather high.
He was drenched with sweat after his exercise session, making him unable to go eat breakfast. After all, he was a chef that loved cleanliness.
As the breakfast time approached, Yuan Zhou started getting anxious.
“I don’t know the language here. How am I supposed to get food?” Yuan Zhou stared blankly at a hotel booklet.
The booklet in the room was in Thai and English, but unfortunately, Yuan Zhou’s English was at the kindergarten level. Apart from a few common terms, he knew no other English words.
“System, do you provide translation services?” Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, “It is suggested that the host learn the language himself.”
“I’m already at this age. Can I even learn English at this age?” Yuan Zhou countered with a question.
The system found it hard to answer this question. After all, Yuan Zhou was definitely without any linguistic talent. The system did not need to have a talent assessment ability to know this.
A clear example of this was the fact that even though Yuan Zhou could understand French, he still couldn’t speak the language, and couldn’t read French as well. The level of his linguistic talent was rather obvious…
“Um, I think I will at least be able to recognize the word ‘restaurant’,” Yuan Zhou decided to depend on himself after thinking a bit.
“Restaurants will normally be located on the tenth floor. It wouldn’t be too high up. I still know how to read the word ‘ten’,” Yuan Zhou started searching for the restaurant in a meticulous manner.
After studying the booklet for half an hour, Yuan Zhou finally found something that he suspected to be the restaurant. It was on the third floor of the hotel.
“Luckily I am smart,” Yuan Zhou put the booklet down and left the room.
Yuan Zhou had a habit of eating a light breakfast. In his own restaurant, he would eat whatever he planned to sell for the day. Now that he was in a restaurant, he selected a simple breakfast, consisting of a sandwich and a glass of fresh milk, after walking around the restaurant.
After being done with breakfast, Yuan Zhou prepared to leave the hotel. This was his first day in Thailand. Therefore, he had to enjoy himself.
“I’ll go visit the Phra Phrom statue beside the hotel first. I am from a country with Buddhism as its main religion. it is only proper that I first visit a Buddhist statue,” Yuan Zhou decided and set off after double-checking his wallet.
His wallet was stuffed full with the trip funds provided by the system. As for Yuan Zhou’s own money, he had not brought any. It was very rare for the system to be so generous. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had decided to respect the system’s generosity by finishing the system’s money.
The Phra Phrom statue was at the left side of the hotel, about 500 meters from it. Yuan Zhou walked there on foot.
“The sunlight at Thailand is indeed strong. Luckily, I have my suntan lotion with me. Otherwise, if I get too tanned, I might not be able to find any girlfriends,” Yuan Zhou rejoiced.
