NOVEL NEXT Chapter 11
Chapter 11:
Jiang Feng sat in front of his computer, browsing the internet. He found a website offering translation tasks and quickly registered an account. During one of his previous infinite stream missions, he had taken on the role of a blonde native speaker. As a result, English had become his second language, and he was now fluent. Translating documents felt like a minor task.
His new account was still at level 1, meaning he couldn’t access high-paying assignments. After searching for a while, he realized that the only jobs available to beginners like him were small articles that paid 100 or 200 yuan each. Needing the money, he decided to take on 50 articles in one go.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wang, the website’s administrator, was reviewing new accounts as part of his usual duties. Today, one account caught his eye—it was a fresh registration, yet the user had accepted 50 translation tasks at once. Xiao Wang chuckled to himself.
“Newbies. They really think translation is that simple?” He thought.
Even if the translations were completed, they still needed to pass review by the clients. Anyone taking on that many articles at once clearly didn’t understand the job. And if the work wasn’t finished within the deadline, they would lose their deposit. Xiao Wang was curious to see how this would play out.
Suddenly, Xiao Wang nearly choked on his tea. The account, which had taken on all fifty tasks, was now completing them one by one at an astonishing speed. First one… then the second… then the fiftieth.
Was this person using an automatic translator like Baidu?
Xiao Wang thought in disbelief. In the time it took him to finish a few cups of tea, the newcomer had completed the entire batch of assignments and was already starting on a second set.
No way this was humanly possible. Only some kind of superhuman could translate that fast.
Curiosity got the better of him, and Xiao Wang opened the submitted documents. The account name, User 3452344, was as bland as they come—a default username, unchanged by the user. Xiao Wang’s initial excitement faded. If they didn’t even bother to change their username, they’re probably just a rookie. There’s no way they’re a master. Shaking his head, he opened one of the articles.
It was a simple translation of a chapter from a novel, converting Chinese to English. There weren’t many words, and the payment for the task was just 50 yuan. Since it was a creative translation, not scientific or technical, the standards were lower; the translation just needed to capture the meaning of the text.
But as Xiao Wang read, his eyes widened in shock.
The accuracy!
The grammar, the sentence structure, the choice of words—everything was flawless. The translation didn’t just convey the meaning; it was elegant and precise. It was as if the translator had mastered English to the point where it felt like their native tongue.
Xiao Wang quickly reviewed more of the completed tasks—over forty articles in total. Each one was just as impressive as the first. By the time he finished, his admiration for this unknown user had reached its peak. This person is a translation genius!
Without hesitation, Xiao Wang submitted a privilege request, raising User 3452344 to the top account level. He had the authority to fast-track promotions for exceptional users, but he only did it for those who truly stood out—people capable of handling the most difficult tasks on the site. Clearly, this user was one of them. This account belongs to a true master, Xiao Wang thought. They deserve the privilege.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng worked through the night, translating one hundred articles in total. By morning, he had earned six or seven thousand yuan.
The next day, Jiang Feng saw the money arrive in his bank account. He immediately transferred 5,000 yuan to his mother, Song Lin. Not long after, her phone buzzed with the notification.
Song Lin rubbed her eyes, confused as she looked at the transfer. “Son, where did this money come from?”
“I earned it from translating articles,” Jiang Feng replied, smiling softly. “I found a website that offers translation work, and I’ve made a few thousand yuan. Use it for whatever you need.”
“Translating articles? Earning money?” Song Lin was baffled. “Son, your English…”
“Mom, your son did pretty well in school. Don’t worry,” Jiang Feng said, taking a sip of soy milk with a casual confidence. His eyes gleamed with determination. This time, without being dragged down by the original owner or Song Lin, let’s see how Jiang Jiandang can keep up his image as the ‘great man.’
