The spiciness of the hot pot hadn't completely worn off yet. Ye Meier licked her still slightly numb lips, her eyes darting around, eyeing the smartphones that almost everyone on the street had.
"Hey kid,"
She nudged Zhang Shaozhong with her elbow.
"What are those glowing boards they're holding? I see a lot of people poking and clicking on them."
Following her gaze, Zhang Shaozhong explained, "That's a cell phone, uh... equivalent to a communication talisman, a clairvoyant, a telepathic device, a game console, a wallet... basically it can do everything!"
"Can do everything?"
Ye Meier's eyes lit up instantly, even brighter than when she saw the hot pot.
"So powerful? It's even more convenient than our divine sense transmission?" Ling Qingxue didn't speak, but a hint of curiosity showed in her eyes.
She had previously seen Zhang Shaozhong use this "board" to order takeout, navigate, and even "live stream," and she did find it quite mysterious.
Seeing their interest, Zhang Shaozhong immediately perked up: "Absolutely! With a cell phone, you won't be afraid of getting lost when you go out on your own anymore. You can order whatever you want to eat, play games and watch dramas when you're bored... Most importantly, with identification, you can get a SIM card! We won't have to mooch off the neighbor's Wi-Fi anymore!"
That last sentence is the key point: he was fed up with the shabby network with its unreliable signal.
"Order takeout yourself?"
Ye Meier grasped the key word and excitedly grabbed Zhang Shaozhong's arm.
"Buy it! Buy it now! I want the biggest one! The brightest one!"
Ling Qingxue nodded slightly: "If we had this, it would be much easier to consult ancient texts and explore the earth's veins."
She has automatically replaced her phone's functions with a cultivation assistant tool.
Looking at the two bigwigs who had suddenly developed a strong interest in modern technology, Zhang Shaozhong felt both happy and a little pained—money!
The money I just received and barely had a chance to enjoy is about to be drained!
But then I thought, this is an investment in necessities!
It can greatly improve the quality of life and safety (mainly to prevent them from getting lost and causing trouble)!
value!
"Alright! Let's go to the mobile phone store right now!" Zhang Shaozhong waved his hand, displaying the magnanimity of a head of the family.
Upon arriving at the store, the two women were overwhelmed by the dazzling array of mobile phone displays.
Night Enchantress, like a child who has entered a candy store, clung to the counter, pointing at the latest flagship phone with the largest screen:
"This! This is beautiful! It's so shiny!"
The sales assistant smiled and introduced, "Madam, you have excellent taste. This is our latest model, equipped with..."
Zhang Shaozhong quickly went over and glanced at the price tag, and almost had a heart attack—it was nearly five figures!
He quickly pulled Ye Meier aside and lowered his voice, "Big sister! Calm down! Let's just buy something that's good enough! This is too expensive!"
Ling Qingxue walked to a counter with a more understated color scheme and pointed to one of the items: "How do you operate this?"
The sales assistant handed over a demo unit, and Ling Qingxue, imitating the person next to her, carefully tapped the screen with her slender finger.
The screen lit up, displaying the unlock screen. She paused, unsure of what to do.
Zhang Shaozhong quickly came to the rescue, helping her slide to unlock the app, and then gave her a simple demonstration of how to turn pages and open the app.
Ling Qingxue studied with extreme seriousness; her focused expression was comparable to comprehending supreme Taoist magic.
Ultimately, under Zhang Shaozhong's guidance of "rational consumption" (mainly by complaining about being poor), he bought Ye Meier a mid-range large-screen phone in the flashy purple color she insisted on!
I bought Ling Qingxue a white phone with moderate specifications and a simple design.
In this way, I spent several thousand yuan.
Zhang Shaozhong also replaced his old phone with a cheaper one, as it was so laggy that it was unusable.
Next, I got a SIM card.
With my newly issued ID card in hand, the process went very smoothly.
Watching his phone number being entered into the system, Zhang Shaozhong felt a strange sense of emotion—these two troublemakers have finally left some respectable traces in this world!
Back in the rented room, the real "teaching disaster" began.
Zhang Shaozhong first taught the most basics: turning on the phone, unlocking it, making a call, and answering a call.
Ye Meier learned very quickly and figured it out in just a few minutes. She excitedly called her new phone, giggling as she listened to the ringtone, and then called Ling Qingxue.
It was much more difficult for Ling Qingxue.
She is extremely uncomfortable with touching the screen with her fingers, often misclicking or pressing too hard.
He struggled to answer the phone, his fingers hovering over the screen for ages, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper, a chill creeping over him that seemed to be spiraling out of control.
"Fairy, be gentle! Just a light swipe will do!"
Zhang Shaozhong watched anxiously from the side.
Ling Qingxue tried several times before finally answering, and heard Ye Meier's arrogant voice coming from the other end: "Hello? You hypocrite! Did you hear me?!"
She was silent for two seconds, then hung up.
Then I started looking into where the hang-up button was.
After finally teaching him the basic communication functions, Zhang Shaozhong began to teach him the main event—using the APP.
He first taught the most important thing: food delivery apps. This time, even Ling Qingxue perked up.
When she saw the dazzling array of food pictures on the screen, her eyes visibly flickered.
Zhang Shaozhong taught them step by step how to search, how to order food, and how to pay (he linked his bank card for small payments, and a password was required for large payments).
Ye Meier was practically a child prodigy; she grasped the essence in just a few minutes and began frantically browsing various barbecue, hot pot, and BBQ restaurants, her drool practically dripping onto the screen. She kept muttering, "This is good! This is good too! I'll order this tomorrow!"
