Chapter 1482: City Translation Competition
The next day.
The morning sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Qiao Sang got up, appreciated the scenery outside, then came to the bathroom to wash simply, came to the bed and sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and meditated.
Suddenly, a sound of "pitter-patter" typing on the keyboard entered her ears.
Qiao Sang opened her eyes, got out of bed and came to the living room.
She saw Little Xiao Xunbao on the sofa, wearing headphones, its claws dancing on the keyboard of the laptop, the speed of typing so fast that its short toes seemed to form afterimages.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Sang walked over, looked at the words constantly appearing on the screen, and asked.
Little Xiao Xunbao didn't pay attention and continued to tap the keyboard.
Qiao Sang reached out and took off Little Xiao Xunbao's headphones, and asked again: "What are you doing?"
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao stopped tapping the keyboard, looked up, grinned and responded, indicating it was practicing listening and typing.
Qiao Sang raised her eyebrows and asked: "Why are you practicing this?"
"Super Xunxun~"
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao chirped twice, indicating it was preparing for the translation competition. It originally thought about using its phone to type and translate, but it looked at some translation competitions and found that the speed of contestants using computers to type and translate was faster than those using phones, so it prepared to practice and go up to compete directly using a computer.
Qiao Sang was not surprised that Little Xiao Xunbao was going to participate in the translation competition. She knew about this as soon as she finished meditating last night.
She looked at Little Xiao Xunbao's overly short fingers and asked: "Why don't you directly use telekinesis to control the keyboard to type? That way, the speed might be even faster."
Little Xiao Xunbao was stunned first, and then suddenly realized, showing a look of surprise, and chirped:
"Super Xunxun!"
How could it not have thought of that!
After saying this, its eyes glowed with blue light, looking at the keyboard.
The next second, the keyboard was controlled by an invisible force to type by itself.
The words appearing on the screen were intermittent at first, as if the words couldn't be typed clearly, but soon, the speed of the words appearing on the screen had a flying improvement. In just a moment, there were three whole lines of words.
"Super Xunxun!"
Little Xiao Xunbao saw this, the blue light in its eyes dissipated, came to its beast tamer's side, and rubbed against her cheek happily.
You are really too smart!
If I hadn't seen your claws were too short, I wouldn't have thought of this... Qiao Sang complained internally, but smiled on the surface: "It's mainly because your telekinesis control of the keyboard to type is precise and fast enough, otherwise it wouldn't have exceeded the speed of claw typing."
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao grinned, showing a quite proud look.
Immediately after, it thought of something and chirped:
"Super Xunxun~"
It will continue to practice.
After saying this, it came to the computer, put on the headphones again, its eyes glowed with blue light, listening to the content inside, and controlling the keyboard to type.
Qiao Sang saw this, came to the sofa and sat down, crossed her legs and meditated.
Time passed slowly, and I don't know how much time passed, but Like Ya Bao and the others walked out one after another.
"Qingqing?"
Seeing Qingbao came to Little Xiao Xunbao's side and chirped, indicating what are you doing?
Little Xiao Xunbao wore headphones and didn't answer, continuing to control the keyboard to type with telekinesis.
Seeing Qingbao's face pulled down, and a gust of wind blew up.
However, before the wind could develop into a gale, Qiao Sang opened her eyes, helped explain: "Little Xiao Xunbao is going to participate in the translation competition soon, so it is practicing using telekinesis to control the computer to type and translate, saying that it is faster this way."
"Qingqing."
Seeing her beast tamer open her eyes and look at her, Seeing Qingbao quickly managed her expression, showing an "Oh, so that's how it is" expression.
At the same time, the sudden wind around it stopped.
"Tingting?"
At this time, Little Tingbao chirped in the living room, indicating does it need to practice translation?
Qiao Sang looked at it and said: "If you want to get a good grade in the translation competition, then practice."
To be honest, Little Xiao Xunbao participating in this competition is to expand its popularity so that it can absorb white energy on Tianyuan Planet in the future. It doesn't matter whether Little Tingbao practices or not. However, Tianyuan Planet has diverse cultures. Little Tingbao has basically been training and competing since it was born. It is also good to feel other things.
Little Tingbao heard this and inexplicably recalled what the boss said to itself yesterday.
"Super Xunxun~"
Follow me, the boss, to participate. When the time comes, I will be the champion, and you will be the runner-up.
"Tingting."
Runner-up is second place. If I don't practice, I shouldn't be able to get runner-up... Thinking of this, Little Tingbao chirped, indicating it still wanted to practice.
After saying this, it stared at its beast tamer.
One second, two seconds...
Qiao Sang: "???"
"You practice, why are you looking at me?" Qiao Sang asked.
Little Tingbao opened its mouth and spoke human language: "Prac, tice."
Qiao Sang heard Little Tingbao speak human language again, first subconsciously eyes lit up, and then suddenly realized:
"Do you want to learn my words for translation practice?"
Little Tingbao nodded and opened its mouth: "Practice."
This time, there was no feeling of stumbling in what it said.
"Not bad, getting more and more fluent," Qiao Sang praised.
"Flu, ent," Little Tingbao said.
Qiao Sang became interested in teaching and said with a smile: "Come, learn to read the whole sentence after me: I am Little Tingbao."
Little Tingbao jumped out word by word: "Come, learn, after, me, the, whole, sen..."
Speaking of this, it stopped.
I just wanted you to learn the last four words... Qiao Sang complained internally, but patiently repeated the words behind: "Read the sentence out."
Little Tingbao learned very quickly: "Sen, tence, read, out, I, am, Ting, bao."
"Amazing!" Qiao Sang admired sincerely: "You actually learned so many words all at once."
Little Tingbao continued to learn: "Ama, zing, ah..."
Seeing Qingbao watched this scene on the side, came to the side silently, and followed along:
"Qing, qing, qing..."
Unfortunately, after learning for a long time, it didn't read a single human character.
"Super Xunxun?"
Suddenly, Little Xiao Xunbao took off its headphones, looked at Seeing Qingbao, looked at it for a few seconds, showed a confused expression, and chirped, indicating what are you saying? Why can't you speak clearly?
Seeing Qingbao closed its mouth with no expression, and a gale blew up all around.
Xia Lala was blown up suddenly.
Qiao Sang was quick-eyed and fast-handed, scooped it up, and held it in her arms.
"Super Xunxun!"
Little Xiao Xunbao was startled, quickly picked up the laptop that was almost blown away, floated to its beast tamer's side, and chirped, indicating I didn't say anything, the fifth one got angry!
"Gulu..."
At this time, Like Ya Bao's stomach suddenly growled.
"Yaya!"
Like Ya Bao chirped, indicating it was hungry, when to eat.
Once these words were spoken, Seeing Qingbao also felt that it was a bit hungry, the wind stopped, and it looked at its beast tamer.
Qiao Sang smiled: "Right now."
The next day, 1:00 PM.
In the venue full of technology, a Grass-type pet beast on two feet wearing a formal suit said loudly to the microphone: "Luoluo! Luoluo!"
The Medicinal Herb City Translation Competition is about to begin! Next, please welcome our first contestant!
As its words fell, a bear-type pet beast wearing a skirt and only about one meter tall waved and came to the stage.
At the same time, hotel suite.
The TV in the living room was playing the relevant scene.
"Yaya?"
Like Ya Bao sat on the sofa and chirped, indicating why don't we go to the scene?
"There are no tickets left," Qiao Sang said. "Watching this competition is the same as watching a beast taming battle competition; you have to buy tickets to enter."
"Yaya?"
Like Ya Bao chirped again, indicating when will Little Xiao Xunbao and Little Tingbao appear?
Qiao Sang thought for a while and said: "It should be relatively late; they signed up quite late."
"Yaya."
Like Ya Bao heard this and instantly lost interest in continuing to watch the translation competition, chirped, indicating that when Little Xiao Xunbao and Little Tingbao come out, I will watch again.
After saying this, it focused all its attention on controlling the clones in the distance to train.
That was also when Lubao jumped onto the sofa and flicked its tail lightly on its head.
"Yaya?"
Like Ya Bao looked at it.
"Bingsheng."
Lubao chirped calmly.
Accompany me to train.
"Yaya!"
Like Ya Bao jumped off the sofa readily and chirped.
Let's go!
After saying this, it walked outside.
Lubao jumped off the sofa and followed.
Qiao Sang: "..."
You just said to tell you when it was Little Xiao Xunbao and Little Tingbao's turn... but training is still more important... Qiao Sang took back her gaze from Like Ya Bao and Lubao and looked at the TV.
At this time on the screen, a pet beast's voice spread through the amplification equipment: "Ganguan, Ganguan, Ganguan..."
After talking for more than ten seconds, the Grass-type pet beast wearing a formal suit said: "Luoluo."
Contestant number one, please start translating.
The bear-type pet beast wearing a skirt picked up the microphone and said in broken Dragon language: "Everyone, the human personality that cannot be contracted most is, is..."
It stopped.
The giant virtual screen behind it was counting down, and soon, the timing was finished.
"Luoluo," the Grass-type pet beast wearing a formal suit said.
Translation failed, please go down.
The bear-type pet beast walked off the stage with a look of disappointment.
"Luoluo."
Let's welcome the second contestant.
Not long after, a young man wearing glasses and looking about twenty years old walked up.
"Ganguan, Ganguan, Ganguan..." In the amplification equipment, the voice of the pet beast from before still came out.
After the sound stopped, the Grass-type pet beast wearing a formal suit said: "Luoluo."
Contestant number two, please start translating.
The young man picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Sorry, I only know how to translate the language of the Xiaoguangchong race. Can you let Xiaoguangchong give the test questions?"
Humans are different from pet beasts. Pet beasts can understand the language of all races and then translate it. Humans can only practice the language of one race after another.
The Grass-type pet beast wearing a formal suit seemed to have expected such a scene and chirped:
"Luoluo."
Contestant number two, eliminated.
If all the contestants are like this, if I go to participate in the competition, wouldn't I win a championship in minutes... Qiao Sang looked at the scene on the TV and affirmed herself internally.
Gangbao looked at its beast tamer silently.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala was applying a mask on the side, drinking coffee, and said: "Participating in this type of competition, unless you win the championship with an amazing performance, you won't gain any popularity."
"Why?" Qiao Sang asked cooperatively.
"Translation competition is a small-type event, and not many people and pet beasts will pay attention to it," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala explained unhurriedly. "And now Little Xiao Xunbao is participating in the Medicine Country's event. Even if it is on TV, it is broadcast within the Medicine Country. Fewer people and pet beasts watch it. Even if it wins the championship, as long as we leave the Medicine Country, basically no one will know that Little Xiao Xunbao participated in this competition."
You didn't say that earlier... Qiao Sang complained internally, but said with a good mentality on the surface: "It doesn't matter. After this competition is over, we will stay in the Medicine Country for about five more days. These five days should be enough for Little Xiao Xunbao to absorb some white energy."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala drank a sip of coffee and said: "But the premise is that it can win the championship."
Qiao Sang recalled the performance of the first and second contestants and said: "The probability of Little Xiao Xunbao winning the championship is still quite high, right?"
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala smiled: "If Little Tingbao hadn't gone, it would be quite high, but Little Tingbao also went to participate in the competition, so the probability of Little Xiao Xunbao winning is not that high."
Yesterday and this morning, she heard the sound of Little Tingbao practicing human language the whole time.
"No way," Qiao Sang said. "Little Tingbao is still a bit stumbling when learning to speak my words now, but Little Xiao Xunbao's typing speed is very fast, and it won't make any mistakes at all."
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala looked at the scene on the TV and said slowly:
"In this type of translation competition, the most important thing is to translate with language. Even if the typing is accurate and fast, in the audience's heart, it is still not as good as speaking directly from the mouth and translating with language."
"After all, pet beasts basically don't know characters. If there is a translation occasion, even if the typing translation is wrong, most pet beasts don't know. Ordinary people are easily deceived and can only let the typing translator say whatever they want. In this point, it is not as good as language."
"The most important thing is that once a pet beast contestant used a computer to type and translate to participate in the competition, but when the competition results were about to be announced, it was discovered that a Mechanical-type pet beast had sneaked into the computer to help type and translate."
"Since then, contestants who use computers or phones to type and translate have rarely won in translation competitions. Even if they finally win, they will still be questioned by many audiences about whether they cheated."
"Then Little Xiao Xunbao's participation in this competition was in vain..." Qiao Sang recalled Little Xiao Xunbao's appearance of practicing typing hard for this translation competition for the past two days, and couldn't help but sigh internally.
"That won't happen," Teacher Mi Mi Jiala said. "As long as you get into the top five in a translation competition of this scale, Little Xiao Xunbao can become an E-level translator, and then go to a larger translation stage to participate in the competition."
"... If Little Xiao Xunbao can't win the championship in a competition of this scale, it shouldn't be able to win the championship in a larger-scale translation competition. I think Little Xiao Xunbao probably won't participate in this type of translation competition again," Qiao Sang said.
Little Xiao Xunbao participating in this kind of competition has the ultimate goal of accumulating popularity and obtaining more white energy. Only the champion can possibly achieve such a goal the fastest. Since it can't win the championship, naturally there is no need to participate in this type of competition again.
Teacher Mi Mi Jiala drank coffee without speaking, which was considered agreement.
Time passed slowly.
In the venue full of technology, Little Xiao Xunbao finally appeared.
"Super Xunxun~"
Little Xiao Xunbao held the computer and waved enthusiastically to say hello to the audience seats.
"Ganguan, Ganguan, Ganguan..." In the amplification equipment, the sound of the pet beast came out.
Little Xiao Xunbao listened to the sound, its eyes glowed with blue light, and it quickly controlled the keyboard to type.
The content on the computer was synchronized to the giant virtual screen behind it.
At the same time, a pet beast in the last row of the audience seats looked at Little Xiao Xunbao on the stage blankly, suddenly thought of something, showed an excited expression, took out its phone, opened the camera function, zoomed in and aimed at Little Xiao Xunbao, and recorded.
