Hundred Times Income Multiplier System



[Task Completed. Professional Human Language Mastery now permanently belongs to the host.]

Jack: (☉｡☉)!

Jack was surprised by the system prompt that had appeared in front of him. He had never expected that even before he began acting, the system would actually claim that he had actually completed the mission that he had been assigned to him as he received the reward in advance.

'System was there a delay in the delivery of the prompt or something?' Jack couldn't help but ask the system. To say the least, he had been left speechless by the appearance of the prompt as well as the completion of the system task.

[That's true, there was a slight delay from my part. I just wanted to make sure that the 'masters' were actually amazed and not displeased. And that is the exact reason as to why the completion of the mission message only came in at this moment.]

Jack finally understood what was going on. While he was planning to amaze everyone in the room when he began talking in the same language as that bearded guy, the system had already thought that he had amazed them already. But still, Jack thought that he could perhaps amaze them further.

"Is something wrong Jack?" Valnaro saw that Jack had suddenly gone silent and thought that perhaps there was something wrong. So, he couldn't help but ask just to confirm.

"Oh, there is nothing wrong with me. I'm absolutely fine, it was just that I was thinking of something here that I was supposed to do before and I had forgotten about it." Jack came back to reality as he replied to Valnaro's query.

He then decided to continue from where he had left of from. "As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted,"

Jack's words stunned the people present in the room. They looked at him with incredulous gazes as they wondered when he had been interrupted, rudely to say the least.

Jack of course didn't know what they were thinking and neither did he care about the strange gazes that he was receiving from them as he continued, "All we have to do is to sign the contract that you would be paying me my $1B after I deliver my services. Or, you could as well go ahead and do the transfer at this moment, coz I don't mind, and I'll begin my part."

Valnaro thought for a while and said, instead of going through of procedures just for a contract only to have us work again in the transfer of the money, I guess we can trust that you will do your part after receiving your payment." Valnaro stated and before Jack could say a word, he looked at Robin and said, "Inform the department in charge to transfer the money, there should be enough money in the account by now."

Robin was stunned by Valnaro's decisiveness in this issue. Even though he had also seen Jack's information and knew what kind of person he was, he couldn't help but doubt that he would be able to do what the 'masters' were unable to. But, since this was an order that he had received from his immediate superior, he had no choice but to carry it out.

He took out the walkie-talkie that he was having with him and decided to contact the department that was involved.

And while he was doing that, Jack approached the bearded guy and asked, "Can you speak in Aziminian?" 

Jack's question immediately left everyone in the room speechless. They just couldn't believe that Jack was asking such a question when he was there when the 'masters' tried questioning him in different languages, Aziminian included, yet the guy simply spew bullsh*t. so, what Jack was doing at that moment was simply illogical to them.

The bearded guy also looked at Jack as if he was looking at a fool. He was wondering to himself on how to reply to Jack. After a while, he had thought of the reply as he readily spew it out. "Nakhawola nji si kene mbole sinju tawe. Oh, niiviriye, nalosanga sana. Khanu, nenyekhana mbole nji, sikene lose eluka yi mwelewa tawe. Hata ni mbola esi mwenya, si kene mumanye esimanisya tawe."

Jack heard his reply and nodded his head before asking, "Can you tell me who it was that was linked to my hotel, Glaze hotel?"

The room was silent once again. Valnaro and the others looked at each other before looking back at Jack. In the end, they could only shake their heads as they didn't know what Jack was playing with the bearded guy. So, they decided to wait and see what Jack was going to do.

"Mmh, ni mbara akhaya akho khalingi khe hoteli indi eyi vailanganga vachi Soaring Eagle. Akhaya akho khaurile vachi khwenya aunju wa khuukula amateka. Khanu, akhaya akho khawola khachi kene khakhu yete ukhuwukula Glezi hoteli mateka. Lakini vinju si vyachiye ulayi tawe khanu vatila vanju vefwe. Alafu emichinga ikyo kyawola eyi ndi. Kali nyala khuvanyola, kene vamike."

"Mmh, okay then. Where's your base located?" Jack questioned again. At the same time, there was a frown on his face, as if he couldn't understand what the guy was saying.

And upon seeing the frown, the guy got excited as he continued giving out the information as there was no one that could understand him anyway.

"Aunju ukhuwukulanga ekasi chefwe ata siatayi tawe. Nuwenya okucha muprovince indi ila, ya mashariki, khuboda eyo, mwilova, khulinende enyumba engali ichumikha kama erumu ye kontroli. Khanu…" The guy went on to give more information about himself and the base that he belonged. The guy wasn't conservative to say the least.

Jack on the other hand listened to him with frown and a little confusion on hid face. After a while, a lot of information had been revealed to Jack. The others in the room remained silent as they watched from the sides to see the end of what Jack was planning on doing.

[You have received $1B. Multiplier applied. You receive $100B.]

[First income. As a reward, you receive a free skill slot that can be used to select a skill of your own liking.]

Jack took a deep breathe the moment that he saw the system prompt. He had been expecting that he would be receiving the money at any moment. And now that it was in, then there would be no problem if he completed the task that he was supposed to complete here. At the end of the day, he had just wasted a lot of his time here when the mission that had brought him over was already completed.

He looked at Valnaro and smiled as he said, "I have already completed the mission that you have paid me for. I have gotten all the information that you need for the investigation. And I think that you will have to send others away because this piece of information is quite sensitive."

Valnaro squinted his eyes at Jack. He was doubtful that Jack had truly gotten the information that they needed because he had seen Jack's expression throughout the time that he had been asking the questions. But still, he decided that he would trust Jack just as he had done when he ordered the transfer of the money into Jack's account.

He looked at the others in the room before gazing at Robin and the other vice-captain. He nodded at him as he said, "You should send them away."

But at this moment, the old lady spoke up. "I know that you want to talk about important matters that concern the national security. So, we wont inconvenience you. But, I have a request to you, young man. I don't know if you can grant me the request?" As she spoke, she gazed at Jack.

Jack looked at the old lady and said, "It depends on whether I can do what you will be asking for or not."

The old lady nodded as she revealed a smile on her wrinkled old face. Then, she stated, "You don't have to worry young man. I won't be making any outrageous requests. All that I would like would be for you to visit our university on your free time so that we can have a little discussion about the language that this person here was speaking in." She pointed at the bearded guy at the end of her sentence.

Jack thought for a moment and said, "I guess that is possible. But, I'll get your contact details from captain here so that we can communicate further about that arrangement."

"Thank you for your considerations young man." The old lady smiled as she led the way out of the room. The others followed suit and in no time, inside the whole room, there were only three people left. Jack, Valnaro and the bearded guy.

"Okay then. I guess that we can finally discuss about the information that I received. Can you get a video from the moment that this guy began speaking so that I can do the translation for you?" Jack asked as soon as the last person exited the room.

Valnaro nodded before using his walkie-talkie to contact a person on the other end. And after about ten minutes, a person came in with a laptop and a flash disk. Valnaro operated the laptop and in no time, he had already opened the video.

Jack took over the laptop and moved the video to the minute that the guy first spoke in 'that' language.

"Ulimsilu namwe sianu?"

"Kali unaparanga vachi kene mbole sinju esi mwelewa, linde usa. Mlalinda lakiini sikene ndome mluazimia ta."

TN; "If you are thinking that I will say something that you can understand, then continue waiting. You will wait but I won't speak in Aziminian."

"Eh? Nyasaye mlayi. Vanju vandile sivamanyire olunyala tawe. Khanu, nenya khuvatukhana nivacheva amaswali kawe. Amakoso si kange tawe, ni kawe. Sivatkha munju amanyire okhulosa olunyala ulai kwanja kho vakole khucheva amaswali kano? Lakini, ata nivanyola munju amanyire olunyala, lasima munju oyo wefwe niye. Simbara kali alikhucharibu okhucheva si amanyire tawe."

TN; "Eh? God is good. The people who arrested me cannot speak in nyala (A luhya sublanguage). So, I want to insult them whenever they ask questions. The mistake is not mine, it's theirs. Why don't they just look for someone who is proficient in nyala language first before they come back and ask all these questions.

But, even if they find someone that can speak in nyala language, that person must be one of us. I don't think that he/she will try asking these questions."

One by one, Jack went through the conversations where the guy spoke in nyala language. The more that Valnaro heard, the more that he was dumbfounded. He didn't think that Jack was lying to him just by looking at the horrified expression of the bearded guy. This was enough proof that what Jack was saying was true and not just things that he was making up.

The bearded guy was now sweating profusely. He had never expected that Jack was pretending all along to get more information out of him. In the end, he couldn't help but shout at Jack in anger. "You… you, you cheated!"

Jack looked at him with an expressionless face as he said, "Look at you, saying that I cheated when you cheated. You can clearly speak in Aziminian but you had been pretending all along. So, I decided that I would play the game with you."
