Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 81 Language Conversion_1

Bai Xiaosheng and Zhengdong Province had polished off an entire barrel of beer.

The table was a chaotic mix of plates and dishes, lined underneath with piles of bamboo skewers, peanut shells, edamame skins, and on top, there were still many leftovers of various meat skewers.

Both of them were a bit drunk.

"Waiter, come, pack, pack these up!" Zheng Dong ordered the waiter with a slurred speech, then turned to Bai Xiaosheng and shouted, "Bai, let’s, let’s continue drinking when we get back!"

"Look at you, can you, can you even make it back?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed and scolded.

He was also a bit slurred but much better than Pangzi.

"My place is close; you’re staying at mine tonight."

"Okay, let’s go to your place and continue drinking!" Zheng Pangzi still couldn’t forget about drinking.

Being this drunk, the waiter was also worried they might start a drunken ruckus, so they quickly packed the skewers into boxes and brought the bill for the two men.

Bai Xiaosheng took out his bank card, but it was snatched away by Zheng Pangzi and shoved back into his pocket.

"Come on, for this little amount, you’re still pulling out your salary card... I, the principal, am treating you!"

Zhengdong took out several hundred-yuan bills, unable to count them properly with his squinting eyes, and simply handed them all to the waiter.

"No need for change, the rest is tip!"

Now, the waiter was grinning from ear to ear and eagerly helped the brothers out the door.

Outside, the night was perfect, the evening breeze cool.

Bai Xiaosheng and Zheng Dong each carried a take-out bag, walking along the street with a metallic stride.

They didn’t seem to know where they were going, but it was definitely not in the direction of home.

As the two chatted and meandered, they sobered up quite a bit.

Coming to a street that was not very crowded, Zheng Pangzi spotted a public toilet from a distance, hastily stuffed his bag into Bai Xiaosheng’s hands, and dashed off.

"I’ll go first, I’m in a hurry, wait for me to come back and then it’s your turn!" Zheng Pangzi called out as he ran.

As if I was competing with you!

Bai Xiaosheng felt both annoyed and amused.

He watched as Pangzi, in his rush, tripped over himself and fell flat on his face.

Bai Xiaosheng jerked in fright, about to shout to ask if he was okay, when he saw the chubby man roll on the spot, get up, and continue running; the movement was smooth as flowing water, incredibly agile, seamless.

Bai Xiaosheng was dumbstruck.

Carrying two take-out bags, Bai Xiaosheng walked under a streetlamp and waited there.

After a while, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly noticed someone heading straight for him from the opposite direction; by their build, they were tall and strong!

Bai Xiaosheng’s brow furrowed, and he immediately became alert.

This place was scarcely populated; could it be a robbery?

As the person got closer, Bai Xiaosheng realized it was a foreigner. Although the foreigner looked sturdy, there was no ferocity in his face; instead, there was anxiety, and upon seeing Bai, he seemed relieved.

This refined foreign man held a large piece of paper in his hands. As he got closer, Bai Xiaosheng saw clearly that it was a map in the foreigner’s hand.

A lost foreigner asking for directions?

Bai Xiaosheng guessed so, and as the foreigner came up to him, the foreigner’s expression changed to a frown, likely smelling the alcohol on Bai Xiaosheng, hesitating slightly but still raised the map, mumbling something, gesturing, seemingly indeed asking for directions.

Was he not speaking English?

Bai Xiaosheng was startled.

"Detected a need from the host; activating the second auxiliary function—language translation."

"Analysis complete, the language spoken by the other party is French, Provençal dialect, initiating translation..."

The voice of Red Lotus rang out.

Almost at the same time, Bai Xiaosheng heard authentic Mandarin in his ears, still in the foreigner’s tone.

"I want to go to the Tiannan Hotel; how do I get there? The map says it’s nearby, but I have not been able to find it. Can you help me?" the foreigner repeated, then sighed and shook his head a bit disappointedly, "Alright, my friend, it seems you don’t understand my language."

"The Tiannan Hotel is just one street away, very close." Bai Xiaosheng finally spoke.

It was actually a string of French.

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback.

The foreigner was also taken aback, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"My god, your... French is so authentic, it’s from my hometown!"

The foreigner was as excited as if he’d met an old friend in a foreign land.

Bai Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment, then understood.

It seemed that once he activated language translation, he could freely speak the other person’s language.

This wasn’t bad at all!

This foreigner was pretty lucky too!

Bai Xiaosheng pointed in a direction, patiently telling the foreigner how to go, and the other nodded like a pecking chicken. He couldn’t stop praising Bai Xiaosheng’s "exquisite" French.

After sending off the foreigner, Bai Xiaosheng still found it quite amusing. He had become an invisible master of languages, seeing that the language database allowed him to use five thousand languages. With this tool alone, he could switch careers to translation for the next half of his life and not have to worry about food and drink.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard some noise behind him.

Woof, woof woof.

Bai Xiaosheng turned around and saw a stray mutt barking at him.

A dog?

Bai Xiaosheng subconsciously remembered that there was an option for animal languages in the language database, including canine. Could this also be translated?

"Host’s needs detected, initiating language translation. Search complete, the language used by the subject is canid, of the rural dog branch... Translation activated!"

Almost instantly, Bai Xiaosheng heard.

"I’m so hungry, give me food!"

The dog’s bark was short, but when combined with emotions, and translated into human language, it didn’t have to be.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at the thin rural dog in amazement.

"Give it to me quick, or I won’t be nice, I’ll snatch it!" The dog was already preparing to pounce.

"Wait, you want food, I’ll give it to you!" thought Bai Xiaosheng, intending to say so.

However, the sound he made was.

"Woof, woof woof, woof woof woof!"

How come it was the sound of a dog barking!

Bai Xiaosheng himself jumped in fright.

It seemed that this language translation really needed some getting used to, and should be used with caution!

The stray rural dog, which had been quite fierce, also jumped in fright, staring at Bai Xiaosheng with wide eyes, even shivering a bit.

Bai Xiaosheng was speechless, he opened two takeout bags on the ground, gesturing to the dog that it could eat. In order to reassure it, Bai Xiaosheng turned and walked away.

Walking a good distance away, Bai Xiaosheng looked back and saw the dog greedily eating, yet still warily keeping an eye on him.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, turned his face, and saw Zheng Pangzi staring blankly at him from a distance.

"You okay?" Bai Xiaosheng walked over, waving his hand in front of Zheng Pangzi’s eyes.

"I might have a problem!" Zheng Pangzi blinked desperately, "I, I think I just saw you talking to a dog."

The fat man had seen it!

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment, realizing he couldn’t explain this.

Bai Xiaosheng patted Zheng Pangzi’s shoulder, "You’re drunk, you can’t hold your liquor, drink less in the future!"

"Is that so?" Zhengdong Province was puzzled.

"Right, I’m treating this round, you didn’t bring money, remember to treat me back next time." Bai Xiaosheng said earnestly, then walked away.

"I didn’t bring money? How come I remember it was me who spent it." Zheng Pangzi watched Bai Xiaosheng’s retreating figure, took out his wallet, opened it, and found it was completely empty.

"Really not a penny left, did I truly not bring money?"
