Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Tongue Blossoms into a Lotus [Seeking Favorites, Seeking Recommendations]

”System, I want something for translation, what I’m looking for is precision translation, and I don’t mind spending more money on it,” Lu Xiaobu told the system.

”How precise?”

The system was a bit confused!

”Accurate enough that if I quoted ’Tao Te Ching’, saying ’The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao’, they must understand what I mean,” Lu Xiaobu was determined.

”Come on!”

The system was totally bewildered: ”Not to mention them, even in Heavenly Dynasty, how many people truly understand these lines?”

”What do you care? Just do it,” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.

”Then I’ll ask one more thing out of sheer curiosity, what do you need this for?” the system couldn’t resist asking.

”To curse at people! What’s the fun if they don’t understand? Our national curses are classic. It would be a pity if they didn’t get it,” Xiaobu said matter-of-factly: ”It would be a shame if they didn’t get it.”

The system: ”I... I need a moment of silence, and don’t ask who Silence is. Regardless of who she is, just tell her I miss her!”

...

Soon after, the system returned, painfully handing Lu Xiaobu a snow-white lotus flower: ”Three hundred million.”

”What’s worth three hundred million?”

Lu Xiaobu was stunned.

”Tongue Blossoming Lotus, a miraculous lotus flower consumed by the great beings of a plane before lecturing. Upon ingestion, you can communicate with All Realm Creatures for an hour, everyone who hears you will understand your thoughts and intentions, and you can also understand others,”

explained the system: ”The great beings of that plane use this lotus to enlighten all beings; it’s considered a meritorious object of great virtue!”

”Nice! Now I can really enjoy cursing!”

Lu Xiaobu showed a satisfied smile.

”Ah, I just wonder if those great beings of that plane would fly over to strangle us personally if they knew you’re using this virtuous object meant for preaching, for cursing,” the system sighed and said with a painful expression.

Lu Xiaobu is using what others would to enlighten all beings to swear profusely!

It’s not just like using a cleaver to kill a chicken, it’s like using the Xuanyuan Sword to kill a mosquito!

Even him, being a prodigal system, couldn’t help but think - damn wasteful!

...

Now that everything was prepared, Lu Xiaobu went to the television studio under the worried gazes of the three women, and he walked in.

”Oh, you must be Lu Xiaobu, welcome, welcome!”

A staff member greeted him cordially, but his playful expression was unmistakable.

Lu Xiaobu had not eaten the lotus yet, so he had no idea what kind of bird language this guy was speaking.

Seeing Lu Xiaobu’s expression, the staff member’s playful expression intensified!

And then, just as they had speculated, Liang Lan and Li Jin were stopped at the entrance of the studio, they only allowed Lu Xiaobu to enter alone.

And as Lu Xiaobu was entering, that staff member gestured to the host of ”Henry Speaks” – Henry, clearly giving some kind of signal!

Both Henry and the host showed a smug, assured smile.

”What gesture are you making?”

Liang Lan immediately chastised, not holding back the anger on her face.

They are still here, isn’t it obvious?

”Nothing special! I was just signaling to the host that our guest has arrived,”

the staff member said with disdain, obviously insincere.

It was obvious to anyone that he was lying.

”You!”

Liang Lan was so furious that she almost had Li Jin start a fight!

But considering that if they started a fight now, whatever plans the Young Master had would fall through, she could only bear it.

She coldly looked at the staff member: ”You’ll soon realize who you’ve messed with!”

”Oh, I’m waiting!”

The staff member, with a flippant smile, made it clear!

Under Henry’s trouble-making, not one person could easily leave through this door!

...

In the studio, there was a sofa, a host, a translator, and the Mechanical Company’s—Smith—whom they had just met not long ago!

Everything was so well-prepared, like a large trap with its mouth wide open!

Waiting for Lu Xiaobu to leap in!

Lu Xiaobu saw this scene and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the host Henry was talking to Smith.

Seeing that Lu Xiaobu had arrived, he didn’t even give him a proper look, deeming him less important than a staff member in Henry’s eyes!

Henry: ”My assistant has already confirmed that this Lu Xiaobu truly doesn’t understand English, so as long as we smile, he won’t know what we’re talking about.”

Smith: ”My old pal, you’re the clever one! This way we can make a fool of this man from the Heavenly Dynasty!”

Henry: ”Of course, what I hate the most are the people from the Heavenly Dynasty; they are even worse than black people! This Lu Xiaobu daring to accept my invitation is a provocation to me, so I must humiliate him thoroughly.”

Smith gave a veiled thumbs up—only a few people knew that Henry, because of some matters in his childhood, detested people from the Heavenly Dynasty extremely.

And, one might ask, what kind of live audience could a show with such a host have?

So, the conversations among the audience were all like this!

”Hahaha, I think I can guess Henry’s scheme, he definitely wants to humiliate this man from the Heavenly Dynasty through the translator.”

”That’s really shameless, but I like it. People from the Heavenly Dynasty shouldn’t appear in America!”

”I used to work in remodeling, comfortably earning three thousand US dollars without supplying materials. Then the people from the Heavenly Dynasty came, working for two thousand dollars including labor and materials, and even treating the clients to Chinese food! Damn it, then I went bankrupt! I hate the people from the Heavenly Dynasty!”

”Yes, I hate the people from the Heavenly Dynasty too! I once ate at this restaurant called ’One Scoop One US Dollar Chinese Food’ for a long time. I always thought it was much cheaper than the eight-dollar fast food I used to have. Then I found out I was eating at least eleven scoops every time, happily recommending customers to them under the pretense of cheap prices! Those despicable Heavenly Dynasty people!”

”Regardless, today is the day for retribution! Henry just said that this man from the Heavenly Dynasty doesn’t understand English.”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu couldn’t understand them, but just looking at their expressions, he could guess what they were saying.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, but he remained silent, as the time to speak hadn’t arrived yet.

Once all the preparations were complete, and the time had come.

Finally, the broadcast began!

And it was then that Henry finally spoke his first words to Lu Xiaobu: ”Let us welcome the scourge of the Heavenly Dynasty, Lu Xiaobu, to our show ’Henry Talks’! Since it is Lu Xiaobu’s first time on a show like this, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!”

The first sentence was already combative!

And the translator, smiling, omitted the term ”scourge” as he translated!

They were bullying Lu Xiaobu for not understanding English!

Lu Xiaobu looked at Henry indifferently: ”I only have one question—is this live?”

Do you remember when Lu Xiaobu last asked this question?

Correct, it was during the live broadcast of the show ”Genius or Idiot”!
