"Ah! I overslept!"
This morning Xiaolan woke up and looked at the time, and found that if she went out to school now, she would arrive at school just in time.
Should I find out next that it was a false alarm and I don’t have to go to school today?
What a pity, yesterday was Wednesday and today is Thursday, but I still have to go to school.
"Sonoko, wake up! We're going to be late!"
Because Kogoro Mouri's performance at "Doomsday" once again angered Xiaolan, Xiaolan has been staying at Sonoko's house these days.
Last night they all went to meet Martin's sister Ma Wu and held a welcome party for Ma Wu.
As expected, many accidents happened, such as Sonoko mistook the child-like Martin for Martin's child, and Ma Wu's ability caused a lot of ridiculous troubles. Afterwards, when everyone had just played for two hours based on their feelings, Sera Masumi suddenly realized that it was already midnight.
There was no doubt that Ma Wu had done something again, but this time Martin did not fix it. Instead, he acted panic-stricken, picked up Ma Wu and said that it was time for the children to go to bed. Then he even took Doraemon with him, left them alone and ran away.
The most amazing thing is that it seemed that they were the only ones whose time was inexplicably stolen for a few hours. When Xiaolan and Sonoko returned to Sonoko's house together, they had to explain to Uncle and Aunt Suzuki why they played until late at night before going home.
"Ah... why didn't anyone call us?" Yuanzi got up, then turned over and lay back down: "I'm so sleepy, how about we ask for leave."
"No, get up quickly." Xiaolan slapped Yuanzi on the butt.
……
On the other hand, the Maori family is also in chaos.
"Uncle...it's time to get up." Conan shook Maori Kogoro: "If I don't go to school, I will be late."
The father and son did not attend the party last night. They got up late simply because they were lazy.
Maori Kogoro hurried him impatiently: "Then go to school by yourself."
"But what about my breakfast?" Conan said pretending to be an innocent child.
Although he has plenty of ways to solve the breakfast problem, urging Kogoro Mouri like this can not only save some pocket money, but also make Kogoro Mouri realize more quickly the harsh living environment when Xiaolan is not at home, which is consistent with Xiaolan's purpose. Xiaolan will definitely be happy when she knows it.
Kogoro Mouri had no choice but to get up sleepily, washed his face hastily, put on wrinkled clothes, and went out, taking Conan to the convenience store.
It is impossible to expect him to cook. Kogoro Mouri took Conan to have breakfast at Poirot yesterday. Today he plans to go to the convenience store to buy some rice balls or something to entertain Conan and save money.
“Welcome~”
He walked into the convenience store and went straight to the shelf with rice balls, sandwiches and the like. Kogoro Maori picked up a sandwich, took a look at it, and then looked at the price tag.
￥12, not expensive——wait a minute? How much?
Kogoro Mouri suddenly looked like he had sprained his waist. He bent down and looked at the price tag carefully with wide eyes. It was indeed twelve yuan, not one hundred and twenty yuan, let alone two hundred yuan.
Are you sure you didn't put the bean sprout price tag here by mistake? Maori Kogoro stared and looked at the other products.
It’s so cheap! The price tag that used to cost ￥500 now only says ￥26, the price tag that used to cost ￥200 now says ￥10, and almost everything has become one twentieth of the original price.
Promotion? Or a system glitch? Maori Kogoro looked at the other products and found that the prices of all the products, including cigarettes and alcohol, had dropped to one twentieth of their original prices.
It's a good deal if you don't take advantage of it. Maori Kogoro's eyes sparkled. At this price, even the products that are about to expire are very fragrant.
Could it be that while I was sleeping, the prices of goods around the world had dropped to one twentieth of their original value? Then I would have become a millionaire!
Kogoro Mouri's eyes turned into the shape of money and his tongue stuck out.
"Uncle, calm down first." Conan had seen Ma Wu's mighty power, but considering that Maori Kogoro didn't know Ma Wu, Conan pushed the blame on Martin: "This must be Martin who did something again. Maybe he will change back in a while."
"It will return to normal in a while..." Kogoro Mouri crossed his arms and thought about it calmly.
Then he suddenly gave Conan a slap, and his tone was raised by 8 octaves: "Why don't you hurry up!?"
What should you do quickly? Of course, you should buy the item before the price goes back down!
Maori Kogoro took the shopping basket and quickly took out various products. He took three deluxe sandwiches for Conan, which were originally priced at ￥750 but now priced at ￥40, and then took some other things. After confirming that the price tag had not changed back, Maori Kogoro ran to the cashier to pay. He also asked the cashier to take out two bottles of more expensive sake and a pack of cigarettes.
"The total is one thousand two hundred seven hundred dollars and four cents." The cashier said after the beeping sound of scanning the barcode.
Looking at the numbers on the cash register and confirming that the cashier had no unusual expression, Maori Kogoro couldn't believe his eyes. Prices were really one twentieth cheaper, not even including consumption tax?
The cashier's expression was not completely normal, but it was obvious that he was surprised that someone would go to a convenience store to buy so many things, rather than thinking that the prices were wrong.
Then he excitedly took out his wallet. When he held the wallet in his hand, he felt that it was much bigger than usual. This is the happiness of rich people.
Then when Kogoro Mori was about to show off his ten thousand dollar bill, Fukuzawa Yukichi - where was I, Fukuzawa Yukichi?
Following his habit of putting small-denomination bills first and large-denomination bills last, Kogoro Maori took out the largest-denomination bill in his wallet, but the original 10,000-yuan bill was gone, replaced by a pink 100-yuan bill.
It is not Fukuzawa Yukichi who is on the banknote, but the portrait of another great man, with a sentence on it: The Chinese people are great!
How come there are two zeros missing? Maori Kogoro's eyes widened, and he counted the money in his wallet. He found that several 1,000 yen bills turned into 10-yuan bills, and a 5,000 yen bill turned into 50-yuan bills... However, a 10,000 yen bill turned into seven 100-yuan bills. After counting, he found that the money in his wallet had become only one twentieth of the original amount.
Oh.
"Sir?" The cashier looked at Kogoro Mouri in confusion, watching him open his wallet excitedly and then become surprised, confused and disappointed, wondering if he had picked up the wallet.
"Ahem." Maori Kogoro coughed dryly, "I didn't bring enough money, so I don't want the wine and cigarettes."
If it weren't for the sake of face, he would have wanted to return the other things to the shelves and exchange them for cheaper ones.
"The total is two hundred and forty-nine yuan... Two hundred and fifty yuan from you, one yuan in change. Take care, and we'll welcome you next time."
Holding a coin in his hand, Maori Kogoro walked out of the door and looked down at Conan with a vicissitudes of life: "What's going on?"
Conan said uncertainly: "It seems to be called RMB."
You see, it also says Chinese people are great.
"So that guy just changed the currency we use to another one, and the relationship between prices and the money in my wallet is still as distant as before?" Maori Kogoro drooped his face, neither sad nor happy. Conan shrugged.
I reminded you... Conan looked at him with a look that implied this meaning, but he didn't dare to say it directly to avoid attracting the resentment of Kogoro Mouri.
But he still had to extend his hand: "Uncle, I have to go to school, um... breakfast?"
Maori Kogoro took out the three sandwiches he had planned to give to Conan from the shopping bag, hesitated for a moment, put one back, put the remaining two into Conan's hands, and said with heartache, gritting his teeth: "Eat sparingly!"
This is even more expensive than what we ate at Polo yesterday. If I had known, I would have just given you two rice balls!
"I'm going to school--!" Conan ran as fast as he could, and only slowed down when Kogoro Mouri could no longer see him clearly. He unwrapped the sandwich and ate it while walking. Holding bread in the mouth to go to school is a traditional skill of Japanese students.
Although it doesn't feel worth the price, the 40-yen sandwich does have more ingredients than the 200-yen... no, the 12-yen sandwich... Conan's face was full of gloating as if he was getting a free meal.
When Conan arrived at school, he told Martin the story. Martin, with Ma Wu, expressed his deep sympathy to Mr. Maori Kogoro and decided to provide Maori Kogoro with all support other than practical help.
"So you plan to change Japan's monetary system to RMB?" Conan initially thought it was just a one-day change for fun, then he remembered that Martin had lost control and transformed. If he didn't regret it, it would remain like this in the future.
"Well, it looks more convenient with two less zeros. By the way, the consumption tax should also be changed, as it is too troublesome."
As the Camissa of the new world, Martin can be said to change whatever he doesn't like. Except for those who have overcome cognitive distortion, other people are unable to notice the changes and think that it has been like this since ancient times.
The next day, Martin made some more changes, and the same thing happened on the third day...
Finally the weekend arrived, Xiaolan, Sonoko and Sera Masumi invited Martin to a coffee shop and complained harshly about the changes he had made.
In the cafe, three high school girls were sitting on one side of the long table, Martin was on the other side, and Ma Wu and Tu Ji were on the left and right.
Bang! Yuanzi slapped the four-legged table and spoke first: "The history content of the exam is different from what I learned!" The child was originally stupid and his academic performance was mediocre. As a result, the history he memorized at the beginning was completely changed at the end! Either he memorized it in vain or he memorized it again.
"This is the result of the world's own interpretation, not something I changed subjectively." Martin shrugged.
Martin is only responsible for deciding the state of the "stage" at this moment, and how to achieve this state requires the world to evolve on its own. For example, the change of currency was completed in a flash a few nights ago, but the world has re-interpreted a new history: after the end of World War II, Japan abandoned the original yen currency system and joined the RMB system.
For example, Martin only set up that the small countries in East Asia are now equivalent to vassal states of the Celestial Empire, so they all use Chinese as the official language. The world interprets that under the new situation, America and Europe have also completed their own small country harvesting and centralization, and the latest form of the world has become the "three countries divide the world" of three huge alliances.
The completely different standpoints, almost brand new history, countless historical events and characters behind this naturally formed a history book that Xiaolan and her friends had never read before. They could only learn it from scratch, or like in Chinese, let Martin write it into their heads using cognitive distortion.
Bang! Xiaolan slapped the seven-legged table. "The car's driving direction has changed to driving on the right. My father drove against the flow several times when he went to meet a client yesterday. His driver's license was almost revoked."
Maori Kogoro was also terrified along the way. After arriving at the destination, he said to the client: "It's terrible. Thousands of cars are driving in the wrong direction along the way!"
The client decided on the spot to change detective.
"Well, it's more convenient to walk on the right." Martin nodded and acknowledged his good deed without further explanation.
Bang! Sera Masamune slapped the sixteen-legged table with his hand: "My side has the most serious problem - since the 'end of the world', Xiu-ge has disappeared!"
"Is this true?" Martin really didn't know. He was just used to harming his cousin, but he didn't intend to erase him directly: "Wait a minute, I'll look for it..."
After looking dazed for a few seconds, Martin nodded gently: "Under the new international situation, neither the FBI nor the mold can be so powerful here. So all FBI members, including my cousin, were sent back."
"My cousin is in the United States now, but his previous plan to fake his death still exists, so he is now a person without an identity. He is currently a homeless person who is doing very well." Martin continued to observe: "From his appearance, he is planning to meet privately with the superior who knows that he only faked his death. When he gets help and gets the phone number, he should contact you."
Masumi Sera twitched his lips. Xiu Ge was actually ejected back to the United States.
Bang! Sonoko slapped the twenty-two-legged table. "I don't even have any indoor shoes! When I got to school yesterday morning, I took off my shoes and realized that the shoe cabinet was gone!"
There are many places in Japan where you are required to change into indoor shoes before entering. This is basically the case in schools, and the same is true for some restaurants and bars.
"Apart from letting the smell of feet linger all day long and catching things like 'indoor shoe thieves', what other benefits does this culture have?" Martin asked with a look of disgust. Ma Wu at the side also covered his nose and nodded, looking like he was still frightened.
The three girls opposite subconsciously stepped back.
"Without a shoe cabinet, where should I put the love letters that boys give me?!" Sonoko said painfully that it was all because of Martin that she couldn't receive love letters.
"Let Xiaolan answer this question for you. I believe Xiaolan has been receiving love letters for a long time."
"Huh?" Xiaolan was stunned. It turned out to be a plot to sow discord.
Bang! Sera Masamune slapped the twenty-seven-legged table and changed the subject: "It seems that even the rule of disposing of garbage at a fixed time has disappeared."
"Well, it's too troublesome." Martin said frankly.
"Then what's left of this country?" Yuanzi spit out with a twitch of his mouth: "You might as well just change this into a province of the Celestial Empire."
"That won't work!" Martin said solemnly, "Then how can Xiao Wu and I still have the feeling of studying abroad?"
Besides, it’s not like there is nothing left. At least Japan still has the two-dimensional and two-original works.
“But now I feel like I’m the one studying abroad!”
Regarding the Japanese yen symbol and the Chinese yuan symbol, although I have heard many times that the Japanese yen symbol has one horizontal line and the Chinese yuan symbol has two horizontal lines, on a computer you can only type one of the symbols at a time. It is displayed as one horizontal line in fonts such as 'Microsoft YaHei' and as two horizontal lines in 'Songti'. If you don't believe it, you can try changing the font of the software yourself.
Internationally, 'JPY￥' and 'CNY￥' are generally used to distinguish them.
It is said that the Year of the Snake has made persimmons popular. Even today’s rice dumplings have persimmon flavor.
The next chapter will describe the case.
