"Absolutely not." Su Hang shook his head, his face showing a look of distress, and he answered very straightforwardly.
Liu Guifen, upon hearing this, did not get angry. She looked up at Su Hang and asked, "Whatâs your reason?"
Su Hang, upon hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "I took a quick look at the document, and it contains a lot of specialized English. Although I have a CET-6 level, to be honest, itâs too difficult to translate. Teacher Liu, if you want to punish me, we can do it another way. How about, like Shuai Yu, I help the dormitory students get hot water?"
"Donât try to bargain with me!" Liu Guifenâs expression turned serious. She lightly tapped Su Hangâs head with the document and said, "You have a CET-6 level, but I think youâre just good at boasting and have no other skills."
She rolled her eyes and then changed her tone, "However, you can see that the document is specialized, and your English isnât that bad. Take it back and remember to submit it on time. Otherwise, I have a thousand ways to deal with you."
"Teacher Liu, arenât you making it hard for me? Besides, with my level, if I help with translation, I should at least get some labor fees, right?" Su Hang said.
Liu Guifen, upon hearing this, laughed, "You want labor fees? Let me think... If you can translate this document completely, Iâll give you 20 yuan per thousand words. How does that sound?"
"Only 20? You canât even hire a laborer for that cheap!" Su Hang said.
"Thatâs settled, teacher is motivating you to improve!" Liu Guifen ignored the look of disdain on Su Hangâs face, "But I want to make it clear, you canât get help from others. You must complete it yourself."
"Am I that stupid? Even if I get help, it wonât be for this price." Su Hang smiled bitterly. He wouldnât do such a losing deal.
"Who knows? Nowadays, few young people are willing to work hard," Liu Guifen said.
Su Hang, upon hearing this, was not pleased, "Teacher Liu, I donât like what youâre saying. Today, Iâll definitely translate this document for you. Iâll earn that 20 yuan per thousand words. Give me a pen."
"Wow, youâre getting a bit arrogant?" Liu Guifen laughed and handed him a pen, "Are you going to translate it right here?"
"Youâre afraid Iâll get help, right? Iâll translate it right here for you to see." Without another word, Su Hang pulled a chair and sat down next to Liu Guifen, taking the document and studying it carefully.
"Ha, young people, you have spirit!"
"Teacher Liu, look what youâve done, youâve pushed me to the limit!"
"Good job, young man, translate that document and give Teacher Liu a good lesson!"
...
The other teachers in the office saw this and started joking. Although their words seemed to be praising, Su Hang could tell with his toes that none of them believed he could translate the document.
Liu Guifen scolded the other teachers with a smile and then turned her attention back to Su Hang, "You donât need to translate it now. Iâm not doubting you. Take it back and submit it next week."
"No need for next week, Iâll finish it soon." Su Hang did not get up.
"How stubborn are you? Iâm telling you, if you translate it wrong, Iâll deduct money," Liu Guifen said.
Upon hearing about the deduction, Su Hang looked up at Liu Guifen, "You evil capitalist!"
The office burst into laughter, and Liu Guifen herself laughed. A female teacher walked over, "Teacher Liu, your student is quite interesting!"
Liu Guifen smiled bitterly. She didnât think Su Hang could translate the document. It was a specialized document with many words related to mechanical engineering. Even a student with an English major level 8 would find it quite difficult.
At this moment, Su Hang felt a headache. A few days ago, he had extracted and refined Qin Shiyuâs CET-6 level English, and he was very confident in his English skills. However, there were still many words he didnât recognize in the document. The first sentence alone was difficult, with two words he didnât know in a sentence of just a dozen words!
Holding the pen, he hesitated to write, but he had already made a bold claim and had to push through.
"Howâs it going? Itâs hard, right? Do you need a dictionary?" Liu Guifen laughed, seeing Su Hangâs hesitation.
Su Hang glanced at Liu Guifen and smiled, then directly activated the system and scanned Liu Guifen.
---
Name: Liu Guifen.
Age: 39.
Level: None.
Extractable Specialties: Professional Level 8 English.

The information appeared, and Su Hang did not hesitate, directly choosing to extract and refine.
"Extracting a specialty requires 100 energy points, and refining requires additional energy points!"
As soon as he chose to extract and refine, a message appeared in his mind.
"What does this mean? Canât refine?" Su Hang was stunned. He realized that Liu Guifenâs English level was too high. Extracting this specialty alone required 100 energy points, and his energy points were capped at 100. This left him with nothing to refine.
"Then just extract it, no refining!" Su Hang gave the system a direct command.
"Specialty extraction successful, energy points -100, credits +10."
"Do you want to absorb the specialty? [Yes] [No]"
A pleasant voice appeared in his mind, and Su Hangâs lips curved. Of course, he would absorb it. It was professional level 8 English, equivalent to copying it directly from Liu Guifen. Even without refining, it should be enough to complete the translation of the document.
The command was issued, and a massive stream of information flooded Su Hangâs mind. He had experienced this before when absorbing Qin Shiyuâs CET-6 level English, so he was not panicked.
A vast number of words flashed through Su Hangâs mind, along with various definitions, pronunciations, and grammatical rules. They quickly flashed by and were deeply imprinted in his mind. Absorbing and integrating them took only a moment, as if he had been practicing English for decades.
"Here, this is a specialized dictionary for the mechanical engineering department. If you donât know a word, look it up yourself." Liu Guifen, seeing that Su Hang had not responded, reached out and took a thick, old dictionary from her desk, throwing it in front of Su Hang. She was determined to make this kid understand the difficulty today and see if he would still speak so boldly in the future.
