Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

49: Card Mall 2“I heard it’s very expensive, my family can’t afford it, big brother, can you afford it?”

A little girl tugged at Xu Bai’s clothes.

“I can’t afford it either, but I believe that later on there will be smaller cars, and even cheaper ones, and by then everyone will buy a cards.”

Hearing Xu Bai’s words, a chubby little boy next to him, who was eating, said, “Are you talking about a tricycle? My family has one, it’s small and cheap.”

Uh, Xu Bai was a bit speechless. A tricycle was indeed a small and cheap vehicle, so what the chubby boy said wasn’t wrong.

“No, I’m talking about a car that you don’t have to pedal yourself, and it can go very fast.”

The chubby boy’s eyes lit up.

“When I grow up, I want to make the cards for this car.”

When the other children heard him, they all spoke of their wishes:

“Me, I want to make a cards that can fly.”

“I want to make a house cards that I can carry with me anytime.”

“I want to make a robot pet cards.”

Children’s worries are only fleeting, and soon the topic changed… It was still very enjoyable chatting with the little friends, but the hall wasn’t very big. The steam locomotive slowly stopped, and they circled the first-floor hall once, returning to their starting point.

After getting off, Xu Bai bid farewell to the children and went to visit other cards products.

As Xu Bai and Xu Le wandered around, they saw many novel things. The items displayed in the hall were all the latest cards products, while specialty stores for various products were upstairs.

Xu Bai found that the current cards production has a relatively mature application of mechanical mechanisms, such as bicycles, tricycles, and manual typewriters, etc.

However, energy sources are relatively scarce. Currently, the main energy sources are coal and star energy stone.

Coal can now be produced by Card Maker, but its capacity is limited by the Card Maker’s technology.

For star energy stone, one source is the excavated star energy stone mines. Although the output is still relatively high, current data shows it is decreasing year by year, and the reduction is still growing exponentially.

The second source is obtained by killing Strange Beast, but weapons used to attack Strange Beast require star energy stone, so the increase is not much.

The country is now vigorously encouraging Card Maker to innovate, hoping to obtain new energy, as energy is the foundation of a nation.

Of course, if large-scale weapons can be created to kill more Strange Beast, that is also an option, as it can increase star energy stone reserves.

As he thought, a notion arose in Xu Bai’s heart.

After browsing the mall, Xu Bai bought two toys for Xu Le, then finished his browsing and hired a carriage from the car dealership to return to Z City.

And the money in Xu Bai’s pocket also dropped from 6,521 yuan to 4,211 yuan… Upon returning home, Fugui happily circled around Xu Bai, while emitting mournful whimpers.

Xu Bai was worried that Xu Le would be squeezed, so he placed Xu Le on the small sofa, then picked up Fugui.

While holding him, he observed the living room with his eyes.

Then he found that Fugui’s dog bed contained one of Xu Bai’s clothes and Xu Le’s toy. Perhaps Fugui was a bit lonely sleeping alone last night, so he carried these into his bed to sleep with them.

Fugui had always had someone to sleep with since he was a puppy, because his parents were always at home and had never traveled far.

Xu Bai held Fugui for a while, and Fugui fell asleep, probably because he hadn’t slept well.

Fortunately, the city gate was closed for only a short time; otherwise, if it had been closed for three days, Fugui might have starved. Xu Bai had left Fugui two days’ worth of dog food, and now there was only a little dog food left in Fugui’s bowl, just enough for him to eat tonight.
