Chapter 408: New Job (3)
The excitement brought by the new experience made them ignore the fact that it was still early for lunch, and they all crowded into the kitchen to get busy, washing the mushrooms, boiling water, and blanching them for a cold dish.
A group of people who usually don't go into the kitchen suddenly go into the kitchen to cook, even if it's just making a cold dish, they will be in a hurry.
After much difficulty, I managed to make a large pot and bring it to the table, but it was almost time for the canteen to open.
Ye Na drove her lemon yellow car and took two students to the cafeteria to buy food.
They ordered a little bit of the buffet and the stir-fried dishes, packed them all up and had Ye Nai collect them. She would take them out when she got back to Academician Shen's house. The food was still the same temperature as when she had just packed it up.
Lunch was bought for everyone, but the bowl of cold-mixed mushrooms was for the four academicians alone. The others could make their own portions when they returned to the apartment building.
The academicians had an amazing appetite. Not only did they eat more than half a bowl of rice, they also ate some vegetables and even shared the big bowl of cold-mixed mushrooms.
After dinner, everyone cleared the table and threw away the garbage. After the cleaning was completed, they gathered around the dining table again.
Each of the four academicians opened a handwritten letter and looked at it intently for less than ten seconds. The academicians not only understood the meaning of the unfamiliar words that no one could understand before, but also translated them fluently and read them to others.
"Oh my god, the translation mushroom is so powerful!"
The others exclaimed excitedly.
The academicians were also very excited.
"It's that simple. I learned an alien language!"
“The translation effect is amazing.”
"No wonder we are the first to receive the mission. We must plant this vigorously. When our large army enters the alien world, we will rely on this to communicate with the locals."
"Does this translation mushroom have a time limit? How long after taking a meal is it effective? After that time, I can't understand it anymore?"
"I don't know if there is any time limit. I only know that if you come across text that you don't understand, then you can continue to eat translation mushrooms. Once you understand the vocabulary, sentences, etc., they will always exist, just like you have already learned the language, but you are limited by your vocabulary and cannot understand advanced vocabulary." Ye Na shrugged and said.
"Oh, I see. I just need to read more." As expected of an academician, he understood things immediately.
"Yes, the vocabulary needed for daily communication can be accumulated through these handwritten letters and children's storybooks. More advanced vocabulary can be accumulated through advanced books on history, geography, religion, economics, military affairs, etc."
"Do you have such advanced books?"
"Of course."
As Ye Nai spoke, she placed a few more high-end books with beautifully bound hard covers on the dining table. In addition to the history, geography and other categories she had just mentioned, she also brought two wizard books.
The academicians picked up a book with their eyes closed, as if drawing lots. As soon as they opened the title page, they felt dizzy after just one look.
"No, no, I can't understand a single word. It really is an advanced book."
"I just ate so many translation mushrooms and they're useless?"
"It's not useless. The accumulation of vocabulary is like upgrading. You haven't even mastered the vocabulary for handwritten letters, yet you're reading advanced books directly. How can you not feel dizzy?" Yenne explained with a smile.
"Okay, then our task this afternoon is to build up our vocabulary as quickly as possible so that we can communicate in daily life."
"Don't bring your translation mushrooms back to the apartment building and make them yourself. The kitchen is empty, so go make some and eat them now."
"The cafeteria is still open, let's go buy some more food. Also, put less salt and soy sauce in the mushroom salad, it's too salty."
After a burst of laughter, everyone went their separate ways.
Ye Na took out the keys to her lemon car, but she was too lazy to run this errand. "You guys keep busy, I'll go feed the captives."
After saying that, he opened a portal with his bare hands in front of everyone, walked in and disappeared.
Everyone present was so shocked that their jaws dropped.
"Oh my god, this is amazing! She just walked past so gorgeously!"
"She opened the portal without any effort. Did you notice that when someone walked in, the portal closed immediately, just like moving a finger with one's arm?"
"This is a great god, this is truly a great god!"
"It takes a great god like this to end the war!"
"Yeah! This damn war can finally end!"
Everyone who reacted suddenly cheered.
Fifty years! The enemy's invasion has lasted for a full fifty years. Now, there is finally hope of completely ending this protracted war.
After feeding the captives in the Dongling Secret Realm, Ye Nai went to the Bergen Village in the other world to show her face and gave the villagers some groceries such as oil, salt and sugar, asking them to continue to wait patiently.
The huge time difference between the two worlds is sometimes frustrating. Things that normally take a few days in Dahua Country may take several months in the other world.
So I have to show up every day to let the villagers know that the good thing is real, but it takes time to travel back and forth between the two worlds.
The villagers are illiterate and don’t know what time difference is, so this is the only simple explanation.
When Ye Na came back after running a lap, she found that everyone was already at the dining table, eating cold translated mushrooms with the canteen pancakes they had just bought.
The four academicians sat around the coffee table in the living room, reading the handwritten letters that Ye Na had taken out earlier one by one.
"Great God, you're back so soon?"
Wow, after Ye Na showed her teleportation skills, these doctoral students in their early thirties and the security personnel of the active military stopped calling her by her name and started calling her "Goddess" with admiring eyes.
Ye Na quickly rejected the title.
"Don't be like that. Just call me by my name. Don't call me God or Big Boss or anything like that. Don't forget that my public identity is a junior data clerk and space storage awakener. If you keep calling me that, you'll let it slip to outsiders sooner or later."
"understand!"
The young students and security guards immediately made a zipper-around-the-mouth gesture.
"It's not okay to call you by your name directly, that seems disrespectful, so I'll call you Sister Ye. The more accomplished one is, the more senior one is."
"Okay, Sister Ye is Sister Ye."
Ye Na nodded, feeling a bit amused.
"Take it easy, you just had lunch, don't overeat. If you feel tired, sit aside and read some letters to rest. I have more here."
As Ye Nai spoke, she took out a large wooden box and placed it on the ground. She opened the lid and found that the box was filled with handwritten letters in envelopes.
"These are daily letters between nobles. The higher-level letters are official documents. We will slowly accumulate vocabulary."
"Indeed, these letters all talk about daily matters, such as the birth rate in the territory, the harvest of farmland, the harvest of hunting, the profit of business, political struggles, and the money you owe me today and I owe him money tomorrow. What should I do if I can't pay it back? I will try to find a reason to start a war and default on the debt."
