Chapter 169 A Bus Full of Excitement and Enthusiasm on the Return Trip
"Passengers, please prepare five coins in advance. After boarding, simply insert the coins into the self-service coin box, and you will receive your ticket immediately."
If you don't have exact change, silver coins are also acceptable. You can pay at the ticket machine, and they will provide you with change.
After a friendly reminder from the driver, the attendant boarded the bus first and guided the first passenger to purchase a ticket.
"I have prepared these five copper coins. Shall I insert them into this slot?"
The passenger inquired, his gaze fixed on the coin slot on the ticket machine, looking slightly hesitant.
"That's right, the ticket comes out immediately after you insert the coin," the attendant patiently explained.
Upon hearing this, the passenger promptly inserted coins, and the ticket machine immediately displayed "Purchase successful, please collect your ticket," and the ticket was dispensed, numbered 001.
"Please keep your ticket safe. You may choose any seat on the train, whether you are traveling alone or in pairs."
"Haha, I'm number one, the first lucky person to get on the big bus!"
The passenger happily took his ticket and went inside to find a seat.
He was worried he wouldn't understand the process when he was at the front of the line, but he didn't expect buying tickets to be so easy.
Needless to say, the other guests followed suit after seeing the live demonstration.
Several passengers paid for their tickets smoothly without any problems until it was Mr. Lu Weihuai's turn.
Having not paid attention to the ticket-buying process of those who had gone before, he now looked completely bewildered.
"Sir, do you have any coins? You need five to buy a ticket."
"Copper coins? I didn't bring any, only a silver note. Is that acceptable?" The old man seemed a little embarrassed.
Lu Wei was carrying ten taels of silver notes, but the train ticket only cost five coins, and he feared he would have trouble getting change...
Just as he was hesitating, the clerk quickly operated the ticket machine, clicked "Get Ticket," and guided the old man to insert his banknote into the payment window.
Lu Weihuai did as instructed, the silver note went through the window, the window closed, and instantly displayed: "Purchase successful, please take out change and collect your ticket."
This was the first time he had ever seen money calculated so quickly, and the amount of change was so large that it was even contained in a simple cloth bag. The thoughtfulness of the service was truly admirable.
After successfully purchasing the ticket, the old gentleman slowly stepped onto the train. The unique design of the seats inside the train filled him with wonder.
Since most passengers had prepared change in advance, ticket purchases were quick, requiring only one insertion and one withdrawal, and the queue moved swiftly.
Besides the locals who witnessed it firsthand, curious onlookers, drawn by the sound transmission, also came to investigate...
Soon, the bus was almost full. The single seats were all taken, and there were very few double seats left. The last passengers to board the bus started to share seats with each other.
Within ten minutes of boarding, the bus was full and ready to depart for its return journey.
"Ding ding ding~ This air shuttle is about to return to [Wonderland], estimated time eleven minutes."
The seatbelt will automatically fasten for you shortly. Please remain calm, sit firmly, and be mindful of your safety.
At this time, the driver returns to the driver's seat, and the safety controller goes online to patrol and inspect, ensuring passenger safety.
The ten minutes or so of the return trip were arguably the most exciting time for the passengers from Qianfeng Town!
From the moment they sat down, they excitedly looked around. The chairs in the private room alone were enough for them to ponder, not to mention the promotional videos playing on the screen...
But none of this can compare to the breathtaking sight of the bus flying through the air!
Just moments ago, I witnessed a so-called auspicious omen soaring through the sky. Now, I am soaring above it myself. What could be more exhilarating and exciting than this?!
The superior soundproofing of the private rooms blocked out countless shouts and conversations, creating a private and worry-free environment for passengers.
No one needs to worry about others seeing their naive and unsophisticated appearance.
Thanks to this, Bai Mengran and Kong Nishang undoubtedly became the two most composed passengers on this trip.
The two of them were currently staring at the same iPad, enjoying the sliced watermelon that Bai Mengran had magically produced, while intently watching the drama featuring the chubby orange and his harem concubines.
"Sister Bai, the plays on this big screen called 'Love to Shoot' are really interesting! Are these stories true? You can even see secrets from the palace!"
When Kong Nishang first boarded the bus, she kept looking out the window. It wasn't until she got bored while waiting that she curiously leaned closer to see what Sister Bai was so focused on. She was immediately captivated and happily joined in...
I was only able to enjoy this sweet and juicy watermelon thanks to Sister Bai. "Mmm, this watermelon is so delicious, it's so sweet!"
"Hehe, Yiyi, eat more. This TV series is all acting. Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental. We're just having fun."
Bai Mengran also thought the watermelon was extremely delicious, crisp and sweet. She was pleasantly surprised to find that there was even a fruit-cut option when she ordered fruit earlier, which was very thoughtful.
"So it wasn't true after all. I knew it! The current emperor is still very young. The emperors here all look about the same age as my father..."
Kong Nishang suddenly realized she had misspoke and quickly stopped herself, sticking out her tongue. If her father heard her speaking so recklessly about the emperor, he would definitely criticize her severely.
"Oh? The current emperor is very young? How young can he be?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengran's gossipy nature was immediately ignited.
As a modern person, she didn't find anything wrong with such gossip at all.
Besides, the soundproofing in the private room is excellent; even if someone in the next room has ears, they absolutely cannot find a single leak.
"Shh, this matter should not be discussed lightly. I'll just tell Sister Bai in private that the current emperor ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and is now twenty-one. Moreover, it is said that the emperor is exceptionally handsome, yet he has not yet established a harem..."
Kong Nishang has an official father, so she naturally knows some palace secrets. When Sister Bai asked her, she answered without hesitation.
"A handsome and young emperor? And he doesn't even have a harem? I've only ever seen this kind of thing in novels..."
However, this matter had nothing to do with her, and after satisfying her little gossip, Bai Mengran stopped asking questions.
After watching a little more TV series, we arrived at our destination.
Overall, Bai Mengran was quite satisfied with the survey.
The AI employee is proactive and can actively complete a series of tasks such as publicity, guidance, and safety assurance, which she considers extremely rare.
Next, let the two air buses continue to travel between Sifang Town and Qianfeng Town, expanding their customer base to these two towns!
The bus stopped at the entrance of [Fairyland]. For the passengers of Qianfeng Town, the gate to a brand new, unopened world had just opened to them, and many surprises awaited them to discover.
Bai Mengran and Kong Nishang were the first to get out of the car; her inspection work was not yet over.
Then she released her invisible mount, preparing to take Kong Nishang to check out the shared single-horse rental areas in Peach Blossom Town.
The reason was that last night, she had the system work overnight to install the shared bicycle equipment in the designated area and decorate it according to the provided design drawings.
They also deployed all the charging stations and shared bicycles equipped with them.
Therefore, she must go and see for herself today how the shared bicycles are actually operating...
