She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

Chapter 1007: Nonsense, You’re a Lucky Star

“What? A thousand spirit stones?” When Lin Jiansheng heard Xiao Ya’s words, he immediately cursed, “What translator is so expensive? Is it made of gold? Even gold isn’t that expensive! Don’t scam me just because I’m a foreigner.”

“Let me tell you, don’t even think about scamming money from me!”

What kind of bullsh*t translator cost a thousand spirit stones?!

After cursing, Lin Jiansheng felt that he finally vented his frustration.

The beginner’s handbook seemed to have intelligence. After it heard Lin Jiansheng’s words, it actually said, “Customer, a thousand spirit stones isn’t expensive. You have to know that a language barrier will cause many inconveniences and misunderstandings. A thousand spirit stones will allow you to communicate without worry. It’s worth it.”

Xiao Ya was a very qualified salesperson.

However, Lin Jiansheng was an even stingier person.

He sneered and said, “Are you lying to me? What translator? I don’t care. Back then, I was the top scorer on the national college entrance examination. I can learn anything. I don’t want your bullshit translator anymore!” With that, Lin Jiansheng was about to close the beginner’s handbook.

At this moment, Xiao Ya suddenly said loudly, “Customer, I can give you a 50% discount!”

Lin Jiansheng slowly opened the beginner’s handbook again.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the town in front of him as he said thoughtfully, “You’re not a smart bot set up by software. You’re a real person, right? This beginner’s handbook is just a tool for you to talk to us. It’s like a phone.”

Xiao Ya was speechless.

Damn, why was this person so smart?!

Lin Jiansheng analyzed again, “The Cang Lang Continent is a super Great World, and among the three thousand worlds, the ten super Great Worlds are interconnected. I think the Beast Tamers of the other Great Worlds have all learned the language of your continent, while most of the Beast Tamers who can ascend to the Cang Lang Continent are geniuses from these Great Worlds.”

“It’s probably very difficult to sell your automatic translator, right? Now, you’re probably trying to scam anyone you can.” After saying that, Lin Jiansheng sneered and mercilessly exposed Xiao Ya’s true motive, “If you’re a salesperson, then the automatic translator is a product you need to promote. Under the circumstances that most of the ascenders are proficient in the Cang Lang Continent’s language, can your automatic translator still be sold?”

Xiao Ya was speechless.

Lin Jiansheng realized that the beginner’s handbook in his hand was trembling.

Clearly, Lin Jiansheng had hit the nail on the head about Xiao Ya’s awkward situation.

“I’ll pay 200 spirit stones max. If you sell it, I’ll buy it. If not, forget it!” 200 spirit stones was Lin Jiansheng’s limit. He felt that even this price was too expensive.

Xiao Ya took a deep breath and said, “Add another fifty spirit stones.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng shouted mercilessly, “Then 150 spirit stones it’ll be!”

Xiao Ya was exasperated.

“Don’t pretend to be in a difficult position. Providing appropriate help to the new ascendants should be Time Pavilion’s job. This automatic translator is worth a hundred spirit stones at most. Giving you a hundred and fifty is already generous.”

Xiao Ya gritted her teeth and cursed, “Scrooge!”

“Then 150 spirit stones it is.”

“Deal.”

After Lin Jiansheng used 150 spirit stones to buy the automatic translator, a translator appeared out of thin air. Lin Jiansheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the technology of the Cang Lang Continent was far ahead of that of the Holy Spirit Continent.

At least, in the next hundred years, the Holy Spirit Continent wouldn’t be able to teleport things.

After Lin Jiansheng put on the translator, he asked Ah Kong impatiently, “Your name is Ah Kong?”

This time, Ah Kong understood Lin Jiansheng’s question. He nodded and said, “Yes.”

“How old are you?”

Ah Kong said, “Four years old.”

Four years old.

Lin Jiansheng subconsciously tugged at his collar and lowered his eyes to glance at the child’s round face as he said, “You already know how to help people at such a young age? Your parents raised you well.” Lin Jiansheng had never seen a child who wanted to help others at the age of four.

In the Holy Spirit Continent, such a young child was still a little baby.

When Ah Kong heard Lin Jiansheng’s words, he pursed his lips and said calmly, “I don’t have a father, and my mother is dead.” After a pause, Ah Kong said, “She was jinxed to death by me.”

Lin Jiansheng stopped in his tracks.

He lowered his head and stared at Ah Kong for a moment before suddenly saying, “Then how did you grow up?” Thinking of how Ah Kong had a good relationship with the old man from the Time Pavilion, he guessed, “Could it be that you’re living with Mr. Philand?”

“I grew up taking potluck,” Ah Kong said. “Whenever the people in town give me a bite to eat, I do whatever I can for the people in town.”

Lin Jiansheng understood.

Delivering food to the people in town was Ah Kong’s way of repaying their kindness.

Lin Jiansheng reached out and touched Ah Kong’s head. That familiar touch made his heart skip a beat.

“You’re doing the right thing, Ah Kong.”

Ah Kong waited for Lin Jiansheng to retract his hand before raising his head and asking him, “Why did you touch my head?”

Lin Jiansheng asked him, “Has no one touched your head before?”

Ah Kong said, “I’m a jinx.”

Who would be willing to take the initiative to touch a jinx?

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiansheng specially stroked Ah Kong’s head and said, “Nonsense. You’re a lucky star.”

Ah Kong pursed his lips and quickened his pace. Soon, he brought Lin Jiansheng to town. Along the way, he sent a plate of beef noodles to every shop owner. In the end, he pointed at the ore base and said to Lin Jiansheng, “Your test venue is here.”

Lin Jiansheng knew that Ah Kong was saying goodbye to him.

Lin Jiansheng suddenly asked Ah Kong, “What do you do when you don’t deliver food? Do you go to school?”

There was no school in town.

Although this was only a small town, the bosses here were either mysterious experts with high cultivation levels or adults who were related to a mysterious expert. This was the test town of ascendants. Other than Ah Kong, there were no children around here.

Ah Kong didn’t go to school.

Lin Jiansheng suddenly said, “After the delivery, you can look for me. I’ll teach you how to read.” Lin Jiansheng stroked Ah Kong’s head again and said, “I was the top scorer on the college entrance examination. I’m the best student in my world. Come and look for me. I’ll let you become the top scorer.”

Even in the Cang Lang Continent, the top scholar among the commoners would have a bright future.

Even in the Cang Lang Continent, the top scholar among the commoners would have a bright future.

After Ah Kong left, Lin Jiansheng stood on the spot for a while before suddenly closing his eyes to cover the tears in them.

When he was in the Time Pavilion, he just wanted to eat beef noodles and spend more time with this child. As soon as he entered the Time Pavilion and saw Ah Kong’s back and head, he felt a connection.
