I rely on cards to build infrastructure

"My guest, this is today's menu. Due to the new opening of the store and some special reasons, dine-in service is temporarily not available, please understand."

Janice skillfully handed out the menu and waited for Luke's answer with a smile on her face.

While Luke was thinking, Janice looked down at the majestic Storm Wolf beside Ben, with a look of envy in her eyes.

Her parents were both animal trainers, and she grew up surrounded by war pets.

When she awakened as a profession, she thought that He would also be a beast tamer, but she didn't expect to mutate into a card master.At that time, she lay on the bed at home and cried for a long time because of this incident.

Now she is very thankful that her career has mutated, otherwise she would not be able to find such a good job as a gourmet restaurant.

However, the obsession with war pets still remains in her heart, so every time she meets other people's war pets, she can't help but want to go up and do it.

Hold back, hold back!

Janice, this is the guest's pet, you can't touch it!

Janice frantically hinted to herself in her heart, and the smile on her face became a little brighter, making it impossible for people to discover her eager heart hidden under her beautiful appearance.

Luke glanced at the menu in front of him.

It is very clear, what each food looks like is followed by picture annotations, which makes it clear at a glance.

It's just that the price behind each food is a bit outrageous.

A beef sandwich costs 40 copper coins, omelet rice is 1 silver coin, hot and sour noodles, ramen is 1 silver coin and 10 copper coins, and octopus balls are 80 copper coins.

This is simply a sky-high price in food!

The conversion method of currency in circulation on the mainland is the decimal system, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10000 copper coins.And the normal monthly expenditure of a normal adult is about 30 silver coins, except of course the rich and powerful.

"Why is it so expensive?!"

Luke exclaimed, dropped the menu, turned around and wanted to leave, but was dragged back by his pet, biting the hem of his clothes, as if he had to pay the bill.

Luke: ...

Good guy, his battle pet has directly changed from a picky eater to a prodigal!

"Just...a beef sandwich."

Luke painfully took out his pocket and ordered the cheapest one for his pet, then counted his savings and sighed secretly.

This sandwich directly costs him a day's meal money, and this thing is so small, it is simply a luxury.

"This is the meal you ordered, thank you for your patronage."

Janice handed Luke a card engraved with a beef sandwich, looked at him as if it was his first visit, and taught him how to use the card thoughtfully.

"You just need to direct the power in your body to the card."

Luke who got a card was actually confused, but before he could ask, Janice gave the answer to the question he wanted to ask in advance.

Cards can be turned into food?

Is it because he is ignorant?Or are these people ganging up to fool him, in order to deduct more money from adventurers like them?

Luke suffered from paranoid delusions intermittently, and then channeled his power into the card in the expectant eyes of his pet.

A pale white light emerged from the card, and when the light cluster dispersed, a normal-sized beef sandwich lay in Luke's palm.

Luke:! ! !

Luke stared in disbelief at the food that suddenly appeared in his hand, completely forgetting that he should make way for the customers behind him.

It wasn't until an impatient urging sound came from behind that Luke turned sideways as if he had just woken up from a dream, and gave up his seat.

Hurricane has been staring at Luke helplessly for a long time. After seeing that his master didn't intend to give him food, but just stood there in shock, Hurricane stretched out two fluffy claws, stepped back and stood upright, trying to get enough food by himself .

"Here you are, really, little prodigal son. You only have to eat one. I haven't received the task reward this time. Your master, I didn't bring much money out."

Luke studied for a long time and found nothing. He sighed, and while talking to his battle pet, he put down the hands of those sandwiches.

But when his arm was lowered halfway, an idea rose in Luke's mind inexplicably.

This thing is so expensive, it's too bad for him not to taste it.

So, the beef sandwich, which was already close to Hurricane's mouth, suddenly turned around and came to Luke's mouth.

Go down in one bite.

Luke:! ! !

good to eat!

One more bite!

emmmm

One more... one more bite!

Hurricane, with two paws on Luke's waist, watched helplessly as the beef sandwich that should have belonged to him disappeared into his master's mouth, leaving no crumbs for him.

hurricane:……

"Ooooooooooooooooo-"

People snatched all their food, and Hurricane suddenly went into a state of rampage, even if the person who snatched his food was his own master!

Luke, who was still savoring the taste of the sandwich, was suddenly interrupted by his pet.And Luke, who knew how difficult his pet was to serve, decisively took out his wallet after tasting the delicious food.

One of the four essences of human beings - the law of true fragrance warning!

"I want three beef sandwiches, six octopus balls, and two of the remaining three!"

Luke rushed to the cash register, slapped his purse in front of Janice, and ordered a bunch of them blurted out.

"This guest, please go to the end of the queue."

Janice sighed, as if she was used to this kind of situation, she made a request to Luke in a good temper.

Luke turned his head, saw the unfriendly eyes of the people behind him, and scratched his head in embarrassment, with a hurricane that exudes the breath of "I'm not happy, I need a lot of delicious food to calm me down", Go obediently to the end of the line.

****

"Huh? Leader, didn't you go to buy food for Hurricane? Why did you bring back a stack of useless cards?"

Eddie took two quick steps to meet Luke who was coming, and asked suspiciously when he saw the all-white cards in his hand.

The five members of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps had all gathered for this mission, and the remaining three followed Eddie and surrounded them.

"This is it." Luke looked around and said impatiently, "Quick, let's finish lunch first!"

As he spoke, he greeted his team members, and walked to a row of stone tables and chairs at the edge of the square in three steps at a time.

The four people including Eddie were at a loss, but adhering to the principle of believing that their leader was right, they looked at each other and followed closely.

Luke placed the cards neatly on the stone table, and under the different eyes of Eddie and others, he sent his own power to the cards one by one.

"Here, let's eat."

Luke took a few more tableware cards that came with it, visualized the engraved things inside, and distributed them to his team members whose eyes were about to pop out.

And the hurricane, which has been poisoned by the smell of food in the gourmet store for a long time, is sweeping away its portion like a cloud.

A small octopus ball, two beef sandwiches, and a plate of omelet rice.

Seeing Hurricane who didn't care about anything but just buried himself in eating, Eddie was extremely surprised.But when he saw the food on the stone table that was similar to what Hurricane ate, he still had a little bit of subtlety in his heart.

It feels like...they are eating battle pet rations orz

Others didn't think as much as Eddie did.

After the initial surprise, several people quickly accepted the phenomenon that cards can be turned into food.

After all, a long time ago, the most talented card master on the road, the current card god, was the existence who could engrave life on the legendary orange card.

However, after the card god was recognized by the rules of heaven and earth, and granted his status as a god, there has never been a card master on the mainland who can use cards to perfection.

Things like cards can be created by life, so it is so much simpler than it. Food is made out, isn't it pediatrics!

Several members of the Hurricane Mercenary Group calmly picked up the tableware, led by their head, galloped all the way to join the cooking camp.

"Well... delicious... so delicious!"

"This is the best noodle I've ever had in my life!"

"Fuck! That's mine! You're not allowed to snatch it!"

"Wooooow, I'm so touched, I finally know why Hurricane eats like a pig!"

"..."

"Emmmm, wait, do you feel more powerful?"

Following Eddie, who joined the dry rice army, after finishing a bowl of hot and sour noodles, he rubbed his stomach and said the slight changes he felt.

"Are you sure you're not overwhelmed by the so-called spiciness?" Another member who ate the same food as him raised his head and responded to his question while drinking soup.

He used to always look down on those who licked their plates clean after eating, but he didn't expect this bowl of hot and sour noodles to make him the one he looked down on the most.

Sure enough, in front of delicious food, everything is floating clouds.

"Probably not, my senses are very sensitive." Eddie muttered, then reached out and snatched the unfinished hot and sour powder soup from the companion who just replied, "Don't eat it, let Victoria appraise it .”

As for why Eddie wanted to grab his companion's food...

Of course, it's because he has already cleaned up his problems, and the bowl can reflect light even after being licked!

"Let me see." Victoria took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then threw an identification technique over.

Although she always insisted that an elegant woman would not eat in public, but the ramen tasted too delicious, she couldn't hold it back.

The light of the identification technique dissipated, and an illusory 'water screen' emerged from the bowl with half a bowl of soup left.

'Name: Hot and Sour Rice Noodles with Soup Only'

'Belongs to: Card (white)'

'Effect: Permanently increase 1 ounce of energy (the higher the quality of the carrier card, the more energy it will increase)'

'Additional: Energy increased by 30%, attack power increased by 5% (fire attribute +3% on top of this), lasts for 30 minutes'

A deadly silence spread among the five members of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps.

Half a second later, the five rushed to the location of the gourmet restaurant at the fastest speed in their lives.

This is no ordinary food!

This is a magic potion!

And the selling price is many times cheaper than the potion. The taste also reduces the dimensionality of the potion. The most important thing is that it is convenient to carry when it lives on the card. If they don’t buy it out of stock, they will be dogs!
