Chapter 904

The Princess’ Craft




Yang Chen’s heart dropped . Did something happen to Jane?

With a flash, he appeared before her!

And what he saw had left him in a daze . He didn’t know if he should have laughed or cried .

There were stacks of books sprawled out all across the floor next to oddly shaped equipment .

In the middle of it, was Jane in a white nightgown, surrounded by three wooden shelves and a tall chair .

Jane must have tripped over the shelves by accident and pulled everything down with it!

He was more surprised to see Jane wearing a pair of black-framed glasses . She looked more like an ordinary homegirl than a highly regarded princess .

But she was still stunning nonetheless .

Yang Chen tried to stifle his laughter and Jane looked at him in exasperation .

“Stop laughing and help me rearrange the books,” Jane said helplessly .





“Why did you even mess it up in the first place?” Yang Chen teased her .

Jane was annoyed but replied, “I didn’t . I was just going through some books when I heard you enter . I wanted to greet you but I tripped over some books . Then I pulled the shelves for support but I forgot that they ain’t as stable as the ones back home…”

Yang Chen laughed out loud . “So you can be this embarrassing too . It looks like even the genius scientist isn’t perfect . ”

Jane looked at him playfully . “Well, my mistake must pale in comparison to what you have done since you’re here looking for my help . ”

Yang Chen coughed at her rebuttal and squatted down to help her .

Jane smirked when she saw that she won .

“Why do you still need so many books now that technology is so advanced? These are quite heavy,” Yang Chen asked .

Jane replied, “These are the results of my research . It comprises most of the formulas and blueprints . What we have now isn’t accurate enough to quantify my data . I could create a better system but before that happens, I’ll have to stick to the old pen and paper . But don’t look down on these books . I created them to be fire and waterproof . Plus, this paper can maintain its structural integrity for over two centuries . ”

It was Yang Chen’s first time hearing of this . There was a lot more than meets the eye with this princess turned scientist .

There were also several units of machinery that Yang Chen did not know of .





So he asked out of curiosity, “What are these? How come I’ve never seen them before?”

Jane placed a black ball onto a shelf . Her eyes sparkled with excitement . “Of course you’ve never seen them, these are my babies!”

“Babies?” Yang Chen quickly asked .

“These are my most recent inventions . It has never been released to the public as of late . You are the only one who has seen them to date!”


Jane bounced up and down like a little girl . She was always this excited when it came to her work .

Yang Chen giggled and looked towards the floor and saw a pair of pink headphones with crystals on them . It didn’t look like much .

“Did you invent these headphones too? It doesn’t look all that special to me . ”

Jane smiled mysteriously . “Put them on . ”

Yang Chen shrugged and wore it . “Alright, now what?”

Jane bit her lip and contemplated for a while before speaking in Kikongo . “These headphones have an awesome feature . ”





Yang Chen was curious as to why she had switched over to Kikongo . But, he understood her perfectly well .

To his surprise, he heard a voice coming out of the headphones . It was translating her words into English!

Yang Chen took the headphones off and asked in utter amazement, “Is it a real-time translation device?!”

Jane nodded her head proudly . “That’s right . It can accurately translate over a hundred different languages and output different languages based on the chip installed . Isn’t it awesome?”

Yang Chen nodded his head vigorously . It was a major breakthrough, considering the fact that even a normal real-time translation device had not yet been created . The ones available now were limited in functionality and extremely bulky . Plus, those devices required manual input, not voice prompts .

“This would break the language barrier all across the world . Why haven’t you mass-produced it?”

Jane shook her head and smiled . “I invented them two years ago . I thought about it but ultimately kept it for myself . ”

“Hmm? Why?” Yang Chen couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t share such an amazing device .

Jane sighed . “The cost to produce these headphones are similar to that of a smartphone . This means that at its launch, fifty percent of people in the world will be able to afford it . However, you have to note that there are millions of people in this world who rely on translating languages as their job . If this product were to become a reality, millions of people would lose their jobs . Millions would suffer because of a product that was supposed to be ‘beneficial’ . Plus, learning a new language involves learning more about the culture in question . I would rather have people learn it that way instead of ‘cheating’ . ”

Yang Chen was surprised to hear that . He didn’t know that she had already thought it through .

She placed the headphones back on the shelf and introduced her other inventions to Yang Chen .

In other words, these weird but powerful inventions were made by a girl who was not even in her twenties . She made it for fun when she was free and to her, these were mere hobbies .

Slowly, Yang Chen’s impression of her had started to change and he looked at Jane with a complex gaze .

Jane couldn’t help but ask when she was almost done with introducing her inventions . “Yang Chen, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think they are boring? In that case, I’ll stop talking . I made them when I was bored and I couldn’t help but share it since I haven’t really had the chance to do it . ”

Yang Chen shook his head and sighed . “I was just thinking . I realized that I don’t know you as well as I thought . I have a newfound respect for you…”

“I really thought that you would call me a crazy woman…” Jane stuck her tongue out sheepishly and blushed .

Yang Chen muttered, “Crazy woman… How are you considered crazy?”

Jane saw his expression and asked, “Oh yeah, I almost forgot . Didn’t you have something to talk about? I totally got distracted by my inventions . You wanna tell me now?”

Yang Chen smiled . “It’s nice to hear you rant about your inventions . I get to distract myself for a while and feel better . ”

“You still have to tell me . ” Jane pushed her glasses up and looked at him expectantly . “A girl craves gossip, even more so when it is about the man they like . ”
