"I can't read this."
Her eyes dropped to the booklet. Then back to him. For the first time since he walked up, she looked genuinely confused.
"You bought the translated version."
Zixin looked down again.
The strange symbols shifted.
Right in front of his eyes, the runes squirmed, cracked apart, and rearranged themselves like a puzzle solving itself. A second later, the page read in crisp, familiar Chinese.
Zixin went completely silent.
The girl resumed chewing. "System translation takes a second sometimes."
"...Right."
He turned another page, refusing to give her the satisfaction of looking impressed.
