I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 65 Militarized Hunting

"Po po mo f..."

Ziyi was able to read it quite fluently in just one day.

Although Zi'an's journey wasn't entirely smooth, it was still quite clear.

After careful consideration, Li Mosi decided to proceed with the next step of the education program.

"Good, you all have a very serious attitude towards learning."

He affirmed his disciple's learning progress, then picked up the pinyin chart in front of Ziyi and placed it in front of himself.

"Come here, today I'll teach you how to pronounce the vowels."

"I already explained to you yesterday why a vowel is a vowel..."

"Finals are divided into three parts. Simple finals are those consisting of only one symbol; compound finals are those consisting of two or more symbols; and nasal finals are those that have a 'nasal consonant' added at the end."

Apart from the simple vowels, the other two parts are starting to become more difficult.

But even if it's difficult, you still have to learn it.

"Okay, let's start with the simple vowels. Repeat after me, ah—"

"Ah—" *2

Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground.

No matter what you're learning, you have to master pinyin first.

Otherwise, the early education pinyin books redeemed by the system would be like gibberish to them.

At best, we can only guess from the pictures.

The saintess watched the three of them, master and disciples, as if they were reciting hymns.

The notes even have rises and falls, making it sound like singing.

Why didn't she have this feeling when the craftsman explained those characters yesterday?

Maybe it's because he speaks slowly?

"Waaah~"

"fw~"

"fo~"

"No, look at my lips. Curl up the bottom of your mouth and make it bulge outwards, vibrating. Don't bite your lips. Mmm~"

"Waaah~"

The teaching progress, starting with simple vowels, has been relatively smooth.

But starting with compound vowels, it's like entering hell.

Perhaps due to the characteristics of the goblin race, Ziyi is still young and has a strong ability to learn and accept new information.

After a few corrections, it will be correct; with a few more reinforcements, there won't be any major problems.

Zian's mouth sounded like he was fighting.

Li Mosi could only teach her step by step.

No matter how hard he tried to teach her, he could only change her lip shape or pinch her nose to prevent her from breathing while making sounds.

The tongue position and pronunciation position cannot be manually changed.

Besides pronunciation posture, there are also issues caused by local language pronunciation habits.

The local language also has many diphthongs, which cause changes in the position of the tongue and mouth when they are pronounced.

However, the requirement in Pinyin is to quickly and clearly transform one sound into another.

When pronouncing compound vowels, Zi'an easily glides through the sounds in the same tone.

Sometimes, the local language pronunciation is used instead of the pronunciation in the pinyin.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

The three of them, master and apprentice, were already communicating with slight accents. Li Mo didn't even dare to think about what would happen if they developed three different accents while learning Mandarin!

"ie—ie, don't elongate the 'e' to replace this sound."

"Hmm, e—no, that's not right."

"..."

Li Mosi felt she was about to teach to exhaustion.

Zian studied until his face turned red, and the sweat on his forehead glistened in the firelight.

Ziyi clenched his fists and repeated after him.

The saintess felt exhausted just looking at him; how could there be such a stupid person!

"e——"

She subconsciously imitated the sound, but ended up imitating the wrong one.

Faced with the gazes cast upon her by the three masters and disciples, she kept her mouth tightly shut.

Li Mosi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at her disciple again.

"Yi, yi-e—"

Zi'an swallowed hard: "Ie—"

Li Mosi's eyes widened.

Finally read it correctly!

The painful compound vowels were gradually learned in the leaping firelight.

Next comes the painful nasal vowels.

This pain is still inextricably linked to the local language.

The local language has nasal sounds.

However, the local language does not distinguish between nasal and non-nasal sounds!

Furthermore, the nasal sounds in local speech will affect the vowels before the nasal root!

The next teaching focus will be on teaching students how to produce clean and crisp nasal sounds.

After teaching her once, Li Mosi's mind was completely foggy.

This is the first time he's ever been this tired since he traveled through time.

"Read it a few times yourselves to familiarize yourselves with it. I'll take a short break and then continue studying."

Zi'an, whose eyes had been wide and vacant, suddenly refocused.

"Do I still need to learn?"

Zi Yi also felt a bit of difficulty: "Master, what do we learn next?"

"Mathematics. Zi'an asked me what mathematics is before dinner, so I'll tell you the basics of mathematics today."

As Li Mosi spoke, she walked to the cave entrance.

He needs to breathe fresh air.

The two disciples exchanged a glance and began reciting the vowel chart they had just learned.

Li Mosi listened.

Zi Yi read it very clearly, while Zi An hesitated a bit.

But Ziyi can teach her to pronounce it correctly.

At least the atmosphere is good.

Although he was exhausted after the teaching session, he was already very satisfied with what his two disciples had done.

Besides the chanting of the two disciples, a very soft voice reached Li Mosi's ears.

He didn't even need to look; he knew it was the Holy Maiden just by looking at the direction.

It seems she really wants to understand herself.

Seeing the Holy Maiden's attitude towards him change from disdain to courtship in just a few days, Li Mosi became slightly curious.

He didn't understand why the saintess would guess that he was a nobleman from overseas.

The original owner's knowledge as a manor craftsman was still too limited.

Feeling a bit clearer-headed, Li Moss returned to the cave.

After his two disciples finished reading the vowel table, he picked up the graphite block and wrote the numbers 0 to 10 on the corner of Zi Yi's table, along with the pinyin.

He then wrote the same content in the same place on Koyasu's table.

Li Moss explained to his disciples, "These are the numbers one through ten, plus zero."

The numbers one through ten have readily available pronunciations in the local language.

But zero is not.

Zi'an tilted his head to look at the symbols on the paper: "One to ten?"

Zi Yi asked in confusion, "Zero?"

"Zero means there are none. Okay, read these pinyin words with me."

Using these eleven simple numbers, Li Mosi wanted to connect his disciples' thinking with mathematical symbols, and also let them put the pinyin they had just learned into practice.

"Come on, repeat after me. Le, win—zero."

"Well, win—zero."

"Right, win—zero. I said it out loud!"

Zi'an was overjoyed to find that he had actually read it out on the first try.

Zi Yi felt that this seemed to be a natural thing.

But remembering how Zi'an had been studying earlier, he said nothing.

"It's like water flowing downhill, it's normal. Quick, keep reading. One."

After quickly reciting the eleven numbers, Zi'an's sense of accomplishment was written all over his face.

Although Zi Yi wasn't that excited, Li Mosi could tell.

The pinyin I learned has finally been put to practical use, and I've finally seen results. It's normal to feel a sense of accomplishment.

Then Li Mosi used his fingers to reinforce his disciple's concept of numbers.

"Not a single finger? What's this?"

"zero!"

"One finger?"

"one!"

……

That concludes the instruction of the new material. Li Mosi then instructed his two disciples to review the material on their own.

By the light of the fire, he began to weave a rope ladder.

By the time the rope ladder was finished, Zi'an, still feeling groggy, had already fallen asleep.

Zi Yi leaned closer to Li Mosi and asked, "Master, how should we proceed with this hunt? Is it different?"

Although it was said that the spear-throwing and pole-throwing teams would be brought along for training, it felt that things couldn't be the same as before.

"They're definitely different."

With these weapons that have a long range and great power, how could things possibly be the same?

Li Mo thought of a word.

Militarized hunting.
