After Mengmeng finished her bath, Jiang Ning considered that his parents and his father- and mother-in-law were downstairs in the first-floor living room enthusiastically discussing his and Su Meng's engagement and wedding banquet. Worried that Mengmeng might be distracted if they stayed on the balcony, he decided to take her upstairs to study instead.
Mengmeng's math ability had now become remarkably impressive.
She had already progressed to junior high school mathematics. Geometry, algebra, functions—she had mastered them all with ease. At the moment, Jiang Ning was even introducing her to Olympiad mathematics.
Whenever Mengmeng studied math, she was incredibly focused.
Every time Jiang Ning explained a concept, she listened with complete concentration, her eyes fixed on him without blinking, afraid of missing even the smallest detail. Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she immediately asked Jiang Ning about it.
Moreover, the little girl seemed to possess an innate talent for mathematics.
As soon as Jiang Ning finished explaining a topic, she would instantly grasp it and even infer related concepts from it.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
Mengmeng is just too smart!
Thinking back to when he himself was three years old...
He had still been playing with mud together with the village children, not even knowing what one plus one equaled.
Looking at himself now, if it weren't for the system, his mathematical knowledge would probably still be stuck at the high school level.
After all, he had majored in computer science in college, which didn't involve much higher-level mathematics.
"System, why is Mengmeng so gifted at math?" Jiang Ning couldn't help asking inwardly.
The system replied proudly,
"Host, did you think this system was created solely for you? This is the Super Dad System. You're merely the intermediary. The real person being nurtured is Mengmeng.
"Whenever you obtain a rewarded skill, Mengmeng also receives a corresponding talent enhancement.
"You directly acquire the skill, whereas Mengmeng must transform that talent into actual ability through her own learning. That way, she'll genuinely enjoy studying and eventually surpass even you.
"Ask yourself honestly. Since obtaining those skill rewards, have you ever seriously researched or developed them further to take them to a higher level?
"Of course you haven't.
"But Mengmeng is different. Through continuous effort, she improves every single day at an astonishing pace.
"When her mathematics reaches the Grandmaster level, she'll certainly continue researching and studying even further.
"So if you're asking why Mengmeng is so talented...
"I'm the one who gave her that talent.
"But her hard work in learning is entirely her own.
"If Mengmeng wants to learn cooking, dancing, literature, calligraphy, or anything else, she'll improve at an incredible rate in those areas as well.
"However, she won't necessarily be interested in every skill you've acquired."
After hearing the system's explanation, Jiang Ning finally understood.
It was true.
Ever since obtaining those skills, regardless of their level, he had never truly tried to study or improve them further.
Thinking about it carefully, that made perfect sense.
With his own ability, expecting himself to independently push those skills to an even higher level was probably impossible, even if he spent his entire life trying.
There were countless people in the world who had reached the Master level yet never managed to advance further.
Had they not worked hard?
Of course they had.
Many of them had been even more devoted than he was.
He still had to take care of his daughter—there was no way he could immerse himself completely like those people.
If they couldn't reach the Grandmaster level after dedicating their entire lives to it, then he certainly couldn't either.
As for the things Mengmeng enjoyed—mathematics, painting, English, German...
She learned them at an astonishing pace.
Even the world's greatest prodigies would probably seem like little brothers compared to her.
Now Mengmeng had also fallen in love with the erhu.
Once he started teaching her, she would probably improve by leaps and bounds as well.
The only pity was that, out of all the skills he possessed, Mengmeng wasn't interested in every single one.
Sigh... What a shame.
Fortunately, Mengmeng genuinely loved learning.
If she had been a child who disliked studying, all those talents would have gone to waste.
"Daddy, Daddy, can we go for a walk around the neighborhood while we practice German?"
Mengmeng suddenly asked in German.
"Of course. Come on, Mengmeng. Let's take a walk while learning German."
Jiang Ning came back to his senses and replied in German as well.
Ding!
"Congratulations, Host. You have reached the required teaching time for instructing Mengmeng in a foreign language and have obtained a language reward.
"You may choose one authentic foreign language skill from among English, Japanese, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, and many others.
"Please make your selection."
Jiang Ning thought for a moment before saying,
"System, I'll choose Arabic."
"Very well. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained authentic Arabic language proficiency."
In an instant, an enormous amount of authentic Arabic knowledge flooded into Jiang Ning's mind like a tidal wave.
He even felt as though his throat had undergone a miraculous transformation.
His pronunciation became incomparably smooth and natural, as if he had been speaking Arabic fluently for decades.
"Come on, Daddy. Why did you stop?"
Seeing Jiang Ning suddenly halt, Mengmeng tugged on his hand and asked curiously in German.
"Mm, let's go, sweetheart. We'll take a walk around the neighborhood."
Smiling, Jiang Ning affectionately rubbed Mengmeng's little head.
...
Time flew by.
Jiang Ning and Mengmeng walked several laps around the villa community.
The entire time, they conversed exclusively in German.
Not a single sentence was spoken in Chinese.
Nor did they speak any English.
Mengmeng's German had already become remarkably good.
She conversed with Jiang Ning fluently and understood everything he said.
Jiang Ning couldn't help praising her.
"Mengmeng, your German is excellent now. The next time Uncle Schmidt visits, you'll be able to chat with him entirely in German.
"Mengmeng, would you like to learn any other languages?
"If you meet children from different countries in the future, you'll be able to talk with them too."
Scratching the back of her head, Mengmeng asked with a puzzled expression,
"Daddy, do children from every country speak differently?"
Jiang Ning nodded patiently.
"That's right. Just like we speak Chinese in Great Xia, people in America and Britain speak English, people in France speak French, Uncle Schmidt and the people in Germany speak German, people in Japan speak Japanese..."
Mengmeng seemed to understand.
Excitedly, she said,
"Daddy, then let's keep learning! Teach Mengmeng another foreign language!
"The best one would be the language spoken by lots and lots of children who like coming to our country."
Mengmeng's motivation for learning foreign languages was simple.
She wanted to communicate and play with other children.
"Alright. How about Daddy teaches you French next?
"French writing is very similar to English, so since you already know English, learning it will be much easier.
"And after a while, one of Mommy's clients—a friend from France—might come visit our home."
Jiang Ning said this in German.
"Really? That's wonderful!
"Daddy, hurry and teach Mengmeng French!
"Not just in the morning—you have to teach me in the afternoon too!
"I almost know all of English already."
Mengmeng was so excited she could hardly contain herself.
She wished she could master French immediately.
She imagined that when her mother's French friend visited, they might even bring along a child about her own age.
Then she would be able to talk with them and become friends.
Her enthusiasm for learning French instantly surged to its highest point.
She was even worried that she might not learn enough French before her mother's French friend arrived.
Her eagerness was obvious, and she immediately asked Jiang Ning to teach her French both in the morning and in the afternoon.
