Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

146: Lively restaurant“One plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, please.”

“Alright, one plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes for table number 1, Lili.”

“Okay.”

“Table number 8, one bowl of shredded pork and preserved vegetable noodles, no cilantro, Lili.”

“Alright.”

“Boss lady, do you have dumplings today?”

“Yes, we have pork and green onion dumplings today. Would you like a plate?”

“Give me a large plate, no soup.”

“Table number 10, one large plate of pork and green onion dumplings, no soup, Lili.”

“Okay.”

…At noon that day, the small restaurant was once again bustling with people.

However, Wang Lili noticed that, unlike usual, the diners’ discussions were particularly loud today.

At the same time, some diners, after ordering, did not wait quietly, but instead struck up conversations with others.

Most of their conversations began with:

“Do you know…?”

“Have you read the newspaper…?”

“Did you buy it…?”

…Wang Lili vaguely heard some talk about things like electric energy and cards.

But what is electric energy? Is it lightning? Has someone recycled this energy? It looks like a new cards has been made? What kind of cards could cause such widespread discussion?

She vaguely remembered seeing a report in the newspaper that someone once tried to study lightning but was struck dead by it.

Is someone so brave again now, and have they been struck dead again?

…“Achoo.”

Xu Bai, who was secretly playing with Fugui, sneezed, accidentally disturbing Xu Le who was sleeping.

Xu Le rubbed his eyes and slowly raised his head.

The man and the dog quickly lay down on the mat, pretending to still be asleep.

Xu Le looked up, saw everyone was sleeping, and continued to close his eyes for his nap.

Once Xu Le fell asleep, the man and the dog opened their eyes and smiled at each other…Listening to the customers’ boisterous discussions, Wang Lili’s heart was itching, but unfortunately, she still had to work, needing to tell the kitchen the orders, and after the kitchen finished, she had to serve the dishes to the customers, so she couldn’t stay in one place for long.

To know what happened today, she could only wait until after lunch…Time passed quickly, because most people had to work in the afternoon and wouldn’t stay long in the restaurant after eating, so lunch only lasted about two hours.

After lunch, before Wang Lili could even go to read the newspaper, Aunt Sun came over to share the news she had heard with her.

“Lili, something big has happened! Our country has developed a new energy cards, called Dry Battery Card, and they say it uses electric energy.”

Wang Lili was also stunned by this news.

She was someone who read the newspaper every day, so of course she knew that the country had always advocated for Card Maker to create new energy cards.

Although she was just a small person, she also knew the importance of new energy cards for the country’s development.

“Really, Aunt Sun? Where did you hear that from?”

“It’s true, many customers are saying it. I heard it’s published in all the newspapers. Check if your newspaper has it written.”

Aunt Sun knew that Wang Lili always had the habit of buying newspapers, so she directly asked her to take out the newspaper to confirm the situation.

Hearing Aunt Sun’s words, Wang Lili hurriedly rummaged through her backpack and spread out the newspaper that had just arrived this morning.

Aunt Sun leaned in, and the two of them read the contents of the newspaper together.

At the very top was the provincial newspaper of Z Province. The headline looked unremarkable, but the content was like a thunderbolt thrown into everyone’s hearts, stirring up huge waves.

—“Warmly Celebrating Our Province’s Bai Xiaobai Card Maker for Creating the Dry Battery Card.”

Indeed, there was a report about new energy, and they also noticed one thing: the Card Maker who created the new energy cards was from Z Province.

Wang Lili and Aunt Sun’s faces turned red, partly happy for the emergence of new energy, and partly proud of their hometown. They were so happy they wanted to jump a few times on the spot, disregarding their image.

Z Province is truly a place of outstanding people! Who would have thought a Card Maker capable of creating new energy cards would emerge from here!

However, they didn’t just focus on being happy; they also paid attention to the content within:

‘The Dry Battery Card will go on sale starting August 28th, available for purchase at the Energy Guild specialty stores in each province. Due to limited quantities currently, a purchase limit policy will be implemented.

Related products for the Dry Battery Card will be available for purchase at major shopping malls on the same day.’

Aunt Sun quickly scanned the newspaper, then asked Wang Lili a little confused.

“Lili, do you know what date it is today?”

“Today, what date is tomorrow, um—”

Wang Lili didn’t react immediately to Aunt Sun’s question, but then she remembered that newspapers always had the daily date, so she quickly looked down to check.

‘August 28th’

Seeing this, Wang Lili quickly looked up excitedly and replied, “Auntie, today, today is August 28th!”

“What, you said today is August 28th? Doesn’t that, doesn’t that mean, we can buy the Dry Battery Card mentioned in the newspaper today, as well as electric lights and electric fans?”

Wang Lili had already realized this when she replied with the date. At this moment, she was so excited she could barely speak, only nodding frantically.

Aunt Sun was also a decisive person; she quickly pulled Wang Lili out of the store, locked the door, all in one smooth motion.

What were they going to do?

Of course, they were going to the Energy Guild specialty store to buy the Dry Battery Card!

The two of them went to the bus stop together.

On the way, she could still be heard asking Wang Lili if she had brought her ID cards.

You know, this was a limited purchase, and without an ID cards, it might not be possible to buy.

At the same time, she also thought that if Wang Lili couldn’t afford it, she could lend her money so that she could buy it for her first.

Aunt Sun pulled Wang Lili along, walking and thinking if she had forgotten something…What did she forget?

At this moment, Uncle Sun, who was locked in the store, had something to say.

You forgot I’m still in the store!

…When Aunt Sun and Wang Lili arrived, a long queue had already formed outside the specialty store.

They didn’t just wait stiffly; instead, they chatted with the people in front and behind them, and through their conversations, they learned the price of the cards.

Wang Lili calculated in her mind. The last time she bought a cards was a yun rou jin (cloud soft tissue) cards, and it was also a limited purchase then. She only bought one at the time, and later when she went back, she found the store was still closed during the day, so she hadn’t spent her money.

This meant that she now had enough money to buy a Dry Battery Card and an Electric Fan cards.

Of course, she also heard others say that if you resold it, you could sell it for three or four times the original price.

However, Wang Lili felt that in life, it was better to be kind to oneself, so she did not plan to resell it to others.

Everyone, filled with anticipation, continued to queue, and the line grew longer and longer. Members of the Guard Team also came over to maintain order.

Finally, Wang Lili and Aunt Sun both bought the cards they wanted.

Today was truly a wonderful day!
