Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1082 - 1080: Don’t Pretend to Understand If You Don’t

Kōji Inoue smiled when he saw Leng Mei’s performance and said, "Dean Leng, your reputation is truly well-deserved. Your linguistic skills are amazingly high, being able to speak so many languages is truly impressive! However, our driver and attendants also know some languages, and they would like to ask you for some tips, I hope Dean Leng won’t mind."

After finishing, Kōji Inoue glanced at the drivers and attendants nearby, and these people immediately came on stage to challenge Leng Mei. This was all part of his arrangement, hoping to use this opportunity to put Dongjing University over Yingbo University.

As those few stepped onto the stage, the other students stepped aside, and the next round of language exchange officially began. They spoke some obscure languages, putting a great deal of pressure on Leng Mei, making her responses not as fluent as before...

Seeing this, Ding Wan’er’s brow furrowed immediately, not expecting such a turn of events. She scrutinized those people seriously; it was obvious they were drivers and attendants. Their clothing might deceive, but not the air they carried. It puzzled her; she didn’t know when drivers and attendants had reached such a level in languages!

"What do you mean by this?" Seeing Leng Mei under so much pressure, Ding Wan’er’s face turned sour, and she confronted Kōji Inoue.

"Dean Ding, don’t be so nervous. It’s just a game, don’t take it seriously. Does the great Yingbo University intend to admit defeat?" Kōji Inoue’s face bore a smug smile, everything going according to his plan and under his control. The right moment hadn’t arrived yet, but when it did, all would be revealed.

Hearing Kōji Inoue’s words, Ding Wan’er realized everything. Kōji Inoue had set a trap for Leng Mei from the start, making them unknowingly fall into a difficult situation. Now, no one else was to blame; they could only hope Leng Mei would hold on.

As time progressed, the language competition on stage reached a deadlock, to everyone’s surprise. The representatives from Dongjing University, each able to speak over ten languages, bombarded Leng Mei relentlessly, and even with her strong abilities, she started to falter!

The students and reporters below were stunned, unable to understand what was happening. Normally, it was impossible for so many linguistic geniuses to exist, with individuals speaking over ten languages, even the drivers and attendants. How could Dongjing University be so formidable? How could this be possible?

Both Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei sensed something was off. They glanced at each other and then stared seriously at the people on stage. Upon meticulous observation, they noticed something different.

Each person had a patch on their throat and wore the same type of glasses with a thin wire stretching into their ear, seemingly some special device. Both were furious, finding it utterly disgraceful that these individuals were using a device to compete with Leng Mei in languages!

Leng Mei was angry inside, but she couldn’t stop; her situation had become dire, barely hanging on! Seeing Leng Mei like this, Ding Wan’er was incensed and turned around to confront Kōji Inoue. However, just at that moment, a man in his twenties from the Dongjing University delegation, tall and pale, dressed in a gray suit, took the stage to speak.

"I am Mitsui Kazuo from Mitsui Group’s Research Department. Thank you, Dean Leng, for allowing us to witness this unique language duel. As for the outcome, I believe everyone has seen it clearly. What I want to say is, our drivers and attendants were able to speak over ten languages and compete with Dean Leng not through their own abilities, but through our jointly developed latest technology by Dongjing University and the Mitsui Group, the Instant Translation System!"

"With this system, any language in the world can be translated instantly, allowing even those without any language background to communicate without barriers. I believe everyone has seen its miraculous effects, and I’m pleased to inform you that the Instant Translation System is officially being released at this moment, and its products will soon be available for sale."

Mitsui Kazuo, upon taking the stage, spoke politely to the numerous reporters. This had been his plan all along, to use Yingbo University’s language master Leng Mei to launch the Instant Translation System, thus solidifying the system’s credibility.

Then, he looked at Leng Mei and Ding Wan’er, continuing with a smile, "Dean Leng, sorry for playing a little joke on you earlier; I hope you don’t mind. From now on, there’s no need to study languages specially. I guess Dean Leng might lose her job, but no worries, with such beauty and knowledge as yours, you certainly won’t be unemployed. If Dean Leng is interested, you’re welcome to join us at Dongjing University; we highly value such outstanding talents."

After finishing, his face remained proudly smiling, internally thrilled. This was a complete triumph over Yingbo University, leaving them unable to retaliate—an utterly thrilling feeling...

As soon as Mitsui Kazuo finished speaking, the audience was stunned!

"How is this possible!"

"Instant Translation System?"

"An ordinary person can speak more than ten languages?"

...

At that moment, the reporters and students below the stage began to discuss animatedly. No one had imagined such technology could exist—it was simply too incredible, allowing a person to speak a dozen languages at any time. Was this invention truly amazing or was it a mere fiction?

At this moment, Ding Wan’er’s face darkened like the bottom of a pot. She finally understood she had been tricked by the opposition. It was clear that they were stepping on Yingbo University to rise to the top, which almost drove her to rage. Yet, before she could act, a voice suddenly came through her ear, stopping her subsequent actions.

Likewise, Leng Mei was also furious at this time, her complexion as cold as frost. Just as she was about to erupt, a voice suddenly sounded in her ear as well, causing her expression to change and a hint of joy to flicker across her eyes.

"Language represents civilization, it represents history. If a language disappears, it is the end of a civilization. We learn languages not just to communicate with people, but to explore the history inherent in the language itself. You clearly do not understand what language is." Leng Mei’s voice spread through the auditorium, exuding boundless confidence and influencing everyone around her, making them come back to their senses and find her words very reasonable.

"As for your Instant Translation System, it’s a joke. You claim it can translate any language. Well then, let me speak a few more, and you can try to translate them..." Immediately after, Leng Mei unapologetically turned to the students, drivers, and attendants she was confronting and spoke several extremely ancient languages.

With Leng Mei’s words, everyone present was stunned because the language she spoke was unheard of by them; they wondered what language Leng Mei was speaking—it sounded like Martian...

Similarly, those confronting Leng Mei were also confused. The Instant Translation System simply couldn’t translate, leaving them standing there stupefied, not understanding a word Leng Mei said!

For a moment, all eyes were on Leng Mei, wanting to know exactly what language she was speaking...

"Dean Leng, there’s no language our Instant Translation System can’t translate. Don’t think that you can muddle through by babbling a few sentences, it would only disgrace Dean Leng and Yingbo University!" Mitsui Kazuo too was surprised by Leng Mei speaking several unintelligible languages, but at that moment, he couldn’t afford any mishaps, so he could only deflect like this, hoping to shift attention away since no one could understand the language Leng Mei spoke anyway.

As soon as Mitsui Kazuo spoke, everyone looked towards Leng Mei, but they only saw confidence on her face, leaving them perplexed about who was right.

Yet, just when everyone was confused, suddenly a man’s voice came from a corner.

"These are the royal Mendean languages of ancient Egypt; don’t pretend to understand if you don’t. Speaking of technological power, you call this technology? Such immature junk daring to make a fool of itself?" Lin Feng spoke leisurely from a chair in the auditorium, casually using his phone as if discussing something very ordinary.

"Shh!"

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, all present turned their gaze towards him. The reporters were very puzzled, not knowing who Lin Feng was, but the students of Yingbo University knew him, and suddenly they were all abuzz, knowing that with Teacher Lin present, these people were bound to be embarrassed!

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Mitsui Kazuo jumped up as if he had been stepped on the tail, and yelled at Lin Feng, "What did you say!"

"It’s simple, what you’ve got is harmful. Whether you admit it or not, that’s the fact." Lin Feng didn’t care about Mitsui Kazuo’s attitude and continued, nonchalantly playing with his phone. He had already understood the shortcomings of this technology.

"What nonsense are you spouting! This is blatant slander, I will sue you!" Mitsui Kazuo said furiously, his face turning beet-red, showing everyone his enraged state.

However, at that moment, he was also a bit nervous inside; he obviously knew the Instant Translation System was indeed immature and had many hidden dangers. This release was intended to boost the stock price and gather funds to refine the technology to properly launch the Instant Translation System in the market. He couldn’t understand how Lin Feng had found these out!

But now, he could only adopt this attitude to proclaim the safety of the Instant Translation System to the world. Otherwise, all his efforts would be in vain, and he couldn’t allow that to happen!

But just as he finished speaking, Lin Feng’s voice rang out again...
