Chapter 26
C26 – Five Hundred Thousand!
“All correct?” Gao Zhan was speechless. He had already guessed that Xun Zhonghou knew the Sumerian. However, he never expected Xun Zhonghou’s ability to decipher the words to be so strong. He had actually deciphered every word. Even the scholars who specialized in translation in the Cassiopeia would not have such an ability. Xun Zhonghou was only a student in the first year! One could imagine that with this ability, Xun Zhonghou’s future would definitely be limitless!
“That’s good.” Xun Zhonghou’s expression was very calm. He knew that the words deciphered by the [Comprehension Eye] would not be wrong.
“Uncle Gao, how much cash is left in the chamber of commerce?” Zan Xixi asked. Xun Zhonghou had already deciphered the words. It was time to reward him.
“About 200,000 Cassiopeia coins.” Gao Zhan thought for a moment and replied.
“Uncle Gao, bring all the cash over,” Zan Xixi ordered.
“Alright.” Gao Zhan nodded and walked out of the room. After Gao Zhan left, Zan Xixi said to Xun Zhonghou again, “Xun Zhonghou, take out your phone. I’ll transfer another three hundred thousand Cassiopeia coins to you.”
Xun Zhonghou was stunned. Before this, they had agreed that after Xun Zhonghou deciphered the words, the Cui family would give him 100,000 Cassiopeia coins as a reward. Why did the reward now become 300,000?
“Senior Sister Zan, it’s too much. I only need 100,000 as a reward.” Xun Zhonghou recovered and rejected her.
“Xun Zhonghou, you really don’t have to be polite. This is what you deserve.” Zan Xixi laughed. This time, she planned to give Xun Zhonghou five hundred thousand yuan.
Five hundred thousand yuan was an astronomical figure for an ordinary family. However, it was nothing to a big family like the Cui family. The reason why the Cui family gave Xun Zhonghou so many rewards was because of two reasons.
Firstly, Xun Zhonghou had completely translated the [Rejuvenation Technique]. This was too important for the Liu family. The second strongest person in the Cui family, Zan Jie, had long since broken through to the Body Tempering Stage Level 10. Due to him not having a suitable cultivation technique, he was unable to break through to the Soul Gathering Stage. After obtaining the [Rejuvenation Technique], it wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the Soul Gathering Stage as well. With that, the Liu family would have two Soul Gathering Stage martial cultivators. From now on, the Liu family would become the number one family in the Pinewatch City. It was a significant matter. Even if they gave Xun Zhonghou more rewards, it was reasonable.
Secondly, Xun Zhonghou had the ability to decipher ancient characters. He would definitely be drawn by many forces. If they gave Xun Zhonghou more Cassiopeia coins, it would also leave a good impression on Xun Zhonghou.
“Senior Sister Zan, there’s no need. I don’t have a phone.” Xun Zhonghou said embarrassedly. In the Blue Star, the price of a phone was very expensive. An ordinary phone would cost seven to eight thousand Cassiopeia coins, and the better ones would cost more than ten thousand. Even second-hand phones would cost one to two thousand.
Ling Lili was the only one in Xun Zhonghou’s family who had a job. Her salary was only about three thousand yuan a month. It was not easy for her to pay for her daily expenses. Xun Zhonghou definitely could not afford to buy a phone.
“I understand!” The corner of Zan Xixi’s mouth twitched, and she continued, “Our Yan family has a mobile phone shop. I’ll take you to choose the best phone later.”
“Senior Sister Zan, there’s really no need. Just give me the reward and I’ll buy it myself.” Xun Zhonghou rejected her again. Originally, his purpose of coming here to be a translator was to earn the bonus money to buy a phone. However, since Zhan Xixi was so enthusiastic, he felt a little embarrassed.
“Alright then. Remember my phone number. After you buy a phone, you must inform me.” Seeing Xun Zhonghou’s insistence, Zan Xixi did not say anything more. However, in order to get closer to Xun Pengyu, she had to first get Xun Zhonghou’s contact information.
“Alright.” Xun Pengyu did not refuse anymore. He recorded Zan Xixi’s phone number on a piece of paper and put it in his pocket.
