Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 30 Qi Sea Dissipated
Looking at the numbers inside, Xie Yuwei felt like she had suddenly become rich.

She earned 26,400 taels of silver from the sale of the basic cards and 109,700 spirit coins from the intermediate cards.

Having received the money, she felt at ease and said to Manager Huang:
"Uncle Huang, could you please get me another two hundred sheets of beginner cardstock and five hundred sheets of intermediate cardstock?"

She has only recently advanced to the intermediate level of Card Spirit Master and will not be breaking through to the advanced level for the time being.

These hundreds of sheets of cardstock will keep her occupied for a while.

She took so much cardstock this time that she won't need to keep buying it from now on.

Manager Huang had anticipated that she would buy cardboard, but he hadn't expected her to buy so much.

The cards she made were very special and had a high price but were not available on the market. In order to make the most of her cards, he had already prepared the best quality cardstock for her.

Manager Huang went to the secret vault and took out the card paper that Xie Yuwei had asked for. He said to her, "It's a total of five thousand two hundred taels of silver."

This time, without using card-making tools, a single basic cardstock costs one tael (approximately 50 grams), while an intermediate cardstock costs ten taels (approximately 50 grams).

Therefore, the total amount payable is 5,200 taels of silver.

Without hesitation, Xie Yuwei took out 5,200 taels from the 26,000 taels of silver notes and gave it to Manager Huang.

After that, her private treasury now contained the previous 200,000 taels of silver notes, plus today's 20,800 taels of silver, and 100,970 spirit coins.

Seeing all this money, Jie Yuwei was very curious. The original owner's mother was also a card maker, so why didn't their family have any money?

Xie Yuwei voiced her doubts.

Manager Huang looked at her strangely after hearing this.

Does she think everyone is as fast as her at making cards?

Besides, her mother herself also needs to spend a lot of money...

Manager Huang did not mention Xie Yuwei's parents to her. Xie Yuwei left Qi Pawnshop only after the transaction was completed.

No sooner had Jie Yuwei left Qi Pawnshop than Manager Huang summoned his personal assistant and said to him:
"Since she wants to make the cards more widely available, these cards should no longer be sold at the Card Hall."

"Pass the word down to the Card Spirit Hall to find out which low-level Card Spirit Masters need cards. Have the people in the Card Spirit Hall contact those Card Spirit Masters privately and sell them the cards at the bottom price."

Only in this way can he ensure that these cards end up in the hands of those who need them.

Otherwise, these new cards will be monopolized by those people again.

"Isn't this too much trouble?" said Manager Huang's assistant.

Manager Huang said firmly, "Don't be afraid of trouble. Sister Wei is no ordinary person. Helping her will be beneficial in the future."

Okay, buddy!

Shopkeeper Huang continued, "Go check if the card makers who made the replicas of Sister Wei'er's cards have discovered Sister Wei'er's mark."

"Yes!" the waiter replied respectfully.

He didn't have the air of a waiter; he seemed more like a bodyguard.

-

After leaving Qi Pawnshop, Xie Yuwei bought some more things in town before returning to the town gate to wait for the villagers.

Half an hour passed, and the villagers still hadn't returned.

Xie Yuwei wasn't in a hurry; she strolled leisurely around the town entrance.

The weather was very cold in winter, but the original owner had never seen snow. Xie Yuwei guessed that the place they were in must be in the south of this world, and only in the south would it not snow in winter.

Xie Yuwei was lost in thought, wondering what the outside world of Zhoushan Town was like. She thought that once she became stronger, she would definitely lead her younger siblings out of this mountainous area.

Another fifteen minutes passed before the villagers of Nanwen Village gradually returned.

Once everyone was together, Xie Yuwei led them back to Nanwen Village.

They had a safe journey and returned home safely.

After Xie Yuwei returned, she became engrossed in cultivation and card making again.

Seeing that Xiaoyufei was still cold even though she was wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, she created the Temperature-Controlling Card. This card consumes very little spiritual energy, almost none at all. A child like Xie Yuchen, who has just awakened as a Card Spirit Master, can maintain a temperature-controlling state for three days by activating one of these cards.

Xie Yuwei personally activated the two temperature control cards, giving one to Xiaoyufei and the other to Xiaolan.

After receiving the temperature control card, Xiaoyufei sweetly said to Xie Yuwei:

"Thank you, sister! Without this card, Xiaolan might not have made it through the winter."

Xie Xiaolan was seriously injured by the demonic bear. Even if she is saved, her health will not be as good as before.

Xie Yuwei patted her little head: "Our little Yufei is so kind. I hope Xiaolan will live up to your kindness in the future."

Xiao Yufei said, "Sister Lan is a good person."

"I hope so!" Xie Yuwei sighed.

Xie Yuwei skipped over the matter and said to Xiao Yufei:
"The energy of these two cards can only last for one winter. Once winter is over, the energy of the cards will be exhausted."

"Remember to recall the card after its energy is depleted."

"Okay!" Xiaoyufei nodded.

Compared to Xie Yuwei's doting on Xiao Yufei, she was much stricter with Xie Yuchen.

Xie Yuchen also had a constant temperature card on him. He activated the card himself, and it could keep the temperature constant for three days. He liked the card very much. As long as he carried the card with him, he didn't feel cold at all, and he didn't have to wear a cumbersome cotton-padded coat.

Xie Yuwei supervised his cultivation every day and even sparred with him several times to help him practice his card manipulation skills.

To be honest, after being beaten up by Xie Yuwei so many times, Xie Yuchen's card skills have surpassed those of their older cousin, Xie Huai'an.

Xie Huai'an was unaware of this.

He had been resting at home for several days and only received the message today that he should return to work at the post station tomorrow.

Before leaving, Xie Huai'an made a special trip to say goodbye to Xie Yuwei and her two siblings.

-

After leaving Nanwen Village, Xie Huai'an went straight to the county government office upon entering the town.

He found the county magistrate in the county government office and went straight to the point:

"Sir, my sister is willing to sell you the cards."

"Really?" The magistrate was overjoyed.

Jie Huai'an handed him the Black Mamba Snake Card from his pocket.

“Sir, this card only sells for five thousand taels of silver at Qi Pawnshop. My sister also said she will only charge you five thousand taels.”

"Deal!" The magistrate hadn't expected things to go so smoothly, and in the end, he even saved some money.

It seems that Xie Huai'an's sister is a very principled person.

After the two finished the transaction, Jie Huai'an returned to the post station.

-

In a courtyard of the county government office, the magistrate took the Black Mamba Snake Card to meet someone.

"Hui, look what I've brought you!" the magistrate said, slightly excited.

The man in the courtyard had an air of melancholy that was hard to describe, and his light ink-colored long robe made him look mysterious and noble.

He was like a banished immortal from a traditional Chinese ink painting, with deep and gentle eyes and an untamed spirit between his brows.

Hearing the magistrate's shouts, he looked at the magistrate's hand.

It's a card.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly and said helplessly, "How can I use cards when my Qi Sea is almost completely depleted and my spiritual power is weak?"

Thank you for your monthly vote, and thank you everyone for your recommendation votes.
