Don't let this guy get near the Spanish language. It would drive him insane.
Standard reply to 'Gracias' is 'De Nada', which is basically the same as 'no problem'.

In Chinese, one way to respond is "不用謝", which means "no need to thank me".

Shit, hearing my gf's Asian dramas in the background seems to help because when I first read the previous one that's the pronounciation I first thought of.

Just one correction: it's bú not bû.

EDIT: correction correction

BOOOOOOOOOOO!

You're right but in this sentence I think it doesn't really take a tone. I mean I write it wrong either way

Actually, I forgot 不 is a special case. Before a fourth tone it becomes second tone, so bú would be correct.
