Chapter 16 - Word of Mouth

Of course, the functions of the mall in the "Universal Translator" app are not yet fully perfected as there weren't many products displayed.

The only rechargeable item for now was the most basic universal mode that was 10 yuan an hour.

For Li Shushan, this was a sustainable income.

There were also one-time buy-out products, such as a one-time recharge of 1,000 yuan to enable the function of understanding and speaking, and then a one-time recharge of 3,000 yuan to enable the function of reading the written language, and a one-time recharge of 5,000 yuan to understand the written language and write the written language.

As for the minor languages in the world, a user only needs to spend 2,000 yuan to open it, but it will be permanently available after a one-time purchase.

Li Shushan didn't think of himself as greedy.

The price he set is much lower than those of foreign language training courses, and there was also the guaranteed effect of recharging.

For those students who are going to school, students who are going to study abroad, and those who need to be proficient in foreign languages, or backpackers who like to travel around, it can be said that this mode can completely solve their language problems and save them the time and cost of learning foreign languages.

Gao Xin, the rich second generation who doesn't have a lack of money, immediately paid 6,000 yuan at a time, used 5,000 yuan to activate the temporary highest authority, and then used 1,000 yuan to purchase 100 hours of "universal mode" duration.

His eyes brightened up when Liu Shuying assigned the classwork of English writing in class, and he realized this was the perfect opportunity to check out the "universal mode" of this app to his heart's desire.

It turned out that he was still very painstakingly writing English compositions. The vocabulary he used was relatively average, and could only use simple sentence patterns subconsciously, but now when he turned on the "universal mode", what he saw was completely different!

He felt as if he'd been writing a Chinese composition rather than an English essay, and he could write appealing long sentences that expressed his views, with no grammatical faults!

This app is really amazing!

Gao Xin observed his flawless print-like handwriting; his paper resembled an essay written by a skilled English writer.

He truly wanted to pour all of his money into the app's functionalities at this moment!

Seeing this, Li Shushan just smiled faintly, as if everything went according to plan.

But he must admit that Gao Xin's richness is too strong, he is not afraid that this app is a scam?

Perhaps it is because 6,000 yuan to him is like 60 yuan to ordinary people…

With the exception of Gao Xin, there was also a local affluent member who immediately splurged a lot of money, and there are not many students who have registered as members and choose to recharge, but only roughly 10 students who were members have recharged 10 yuan to buy for an hour.

To assess their suspicion, all of them wanted to confirm again whether this "universal mode" is really so magical.

For example, Wang Yan, the class president, after she returned to the dormitory, she looked at the "Universal Translator" app on her mobile phone, and she felt a little weird.

She has already registered as a member of this app. Registering as a member is free in any case, but the period of the "universal mode" has already expired, and you must pay a recharge to continue using it.

She also saw that there were few products in the mall, and the description of each product was very surprising but when she thought of Li Shushan's performance in English class, she had to believe all this.

At this time, Wang Yan suddenly remembered that there was a downloaded American movie on her computer, but it had no subtitles and was fully raw, which irritated her and made her believe that the video was only taking up space on her computer.

However, she couldn't find the American movie with subtitles on any website, so she decided to utilize it as an experiment by using the "Universal Mode" option in the "Universal Translation" app.

Therefore, she reluctantly charged 10 yuan and purchased 1 hour, but she cursed the "Universal Translator" app several times in her heart.

She believed that a translation program that charged for its services was strange, but if there were more alternatives on the market, she would abandon this black-hearted translation software!

Then, Wang Yan opened the raw american movie on her computer, and it was not until the movie officially started that she pressed the "universal mode" button on the phone, and then she found that she seemed to be watching a Chinese-language blockbuster, which was spoken by natives despite that the words were english!

Although she had already experienced the 15-minute universal mode before, she was listening to Liu Shuying's class, and now she is listening to English from an American blockbuster.

She believes that the latter's proof of strength is much higher than the former, after all, foreigners' English is more noble than Chinese speakers' English, as per her straightforward point of view.

Since then, she has no longer doubted the magical function of the "Universal Translator" app, and even continued to recharge for 20 yuan, watching the raw american pirated movie without subtitles in one breath, and then sighed: "It's so cool!."

However, she is unwilling to buy the 1,000 yuan mode. Although this translation software is magical, it is not a necessity for her life, and it is not worth her to spend more money on it.

In addition, for apps like this, there should be a pirated version in the future, and then you can directly use all of its functions for free, without paying a penny.

App users like Wang Yan are more representative. They all feel that there is no need to recharge the translation software unless it is a critical time.

But a guy like Gao Xin who is not lacking money is completely conquered by this magical app. He can't help but show his friends and even his classmates abroad.

"Universal Translator" app appeared on people's mobile phones relatively slowly through word of mouth, and the way it was spread among students was often like this—

"I feel that this language is so difficult to learn, and I have to do translation questions every day, writing in this language, and the most unfortunate part is that machine translation is annoying!."

"The next omnipotent translation is ready, the real smart translation, if you want to save trouble, you can just buy some of the function!."

"Okay, then I will try..."

...

Incidentally, this "Universal Translator" app can only be downloaded from the Internet, so it can only be installed on Android phones. As for Apple phones, unless you jailbreak it, you cannot use the "Universal Translator" app.

This is very much in line with the style of apps produced by ordinary small workshops.

After all, Apple's app store is very strictly audited. Even downloaded software like Thunder cannot be put on the shelves, let alone the magic app like "Universal Translation".

And since Li Shushan established an offshore company called "Magic Network Technology Co., Ltd." within half a month. The company is located in Bermuda, and the company account can receive any kind of currency...

As the membership of the "Universal Translation" app gradually increased, Li Shushan and Olivia found another urgent problem.
