Chapter 402 With such an affordable ticket price, anyone who doesn't buy it is a fool!
Soon, two drinks were brought over and placed on the spread-out serving board.
Qiu Mantong looked at the two drinks on the plate, both of which looked incredibly delicious, and was torn between them.
Lai Cai, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up humbly, "Young Master, please drink it all. I'm not thirsty. I just want you to enjoy it."
"Ahem, I'll just try it first, just one bite..."
Although Qiu Mantong said this, his hand had already reached out impatiently.
He first picked up the milk tea, took two sips through the straw, and his eyes lit up with surprise as he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"It's so delicious! This milk tea is smooth and rich, with the tea and milk flavors perfectly balanced!"
Then, he put down the milk tea, picked up the juice, took a sip, and praised it highly as well.
"Such a rich fruity aroma! It's sweet and delicious, with a wonderful fruity fragrance, and it tastes amazing..."
In the end, he chose milk tea, where the aroma of tea and milk blended perfectly, and sipped it happily, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Hey, Lai Cai, it has to be your young master, right? We really made the right choice by buying this private room seat!"
Such a pleasant experience is something you can't find in other seats.
If the experience is good, I'll bring my parents to enjoy the high-speed rail sometime. They'll definitely praise me too!
After saying that, the two of them settled comfortably in their seats, munching on the complimentary snacks and enjoying the unlimited refills of their delicious drinks, lying down comfortably and watching a small program.
The screen was playing all sorts of hilarious cartoons, and bursts of laughter could be heard from box number twenty-one from time to time...
The high-speed train sped along, but the occupancy rate at Suzhou Station, the originating station, was rather dismal, at only about 20-30%.
Furthermore, most passengers were concentrated in the fare-deductible carriages numbered six to twelve, which naturally made the area noisy and bustling.
In contrast, the private rooms were much quieter.
Only the double room where Qiu Mantong and his servant were located was occupied; the other rooms remained unoccupied, waiting for their destined owners...
But this was only the first stop. As the high-speed train continued its journey, new passengers boarded at each station along the route.
At this time, the regular passengers who had already boarded the bus immediately transformed into hospitable hosts, spontaneously helping the new passengers.
He shared all the novel discoveries he had made along the way with these newcomers.
Seeing the same expressions on the faces of the new passengers as when he boarded the bus—surprise, curiosity, and excitement, with a hint of confusion and innocent naiveté in their eyes…
At this moment, the regulars would smile knowingly, secretly enjoying seeing the new customers' naive and unworldly demeanor.
How to describe the feeling? It's like I've discovered and possessed a treasure trove...
Then I saw wave after wave of newcomers, full of hope, rushing towards the treasure.
For some reason, a genuine sense of pride welled up within me.
It satisfied my desire to share, and it also warmed my heart...
Meanwhile, nine other high-speed trains, thanks to the system's intelligent and precise scheduling, were cleverly staggered and started operating from different prefectures and cities.
However, the closer a train is to its destination, the longer its departure and stop time will be.
The train will only start moving slowly and depart once a certain number of tickets have been sold and the occupancy rate has been reached.
At that moment, Suzhou Station, the closest station to Anzhou, saw its peak passenger flow the instant the underground high-speed rail station opened on time.
These two prefectures both belong to Yunze Prefecture. They are connected by mountains and rivers, geographically close, and have frequent business dealings. Even weddings and other happy events are common.
However, even though the two prefectures are relatively close, the distance from Suzhou to Anzhou is still 150 kilometers.
In the past, visiting relatives and friends would take several days on the road, and most people would only have the opportunity to visit each other once a year during festivals.
Therefore, when the melodious broadcast rang out, informing the residents of this station that a high-speed railway was hidden beneath the large hole that had puzzled passersby since this morning, a chorus of exclamations immediately arose from the crowd.
What's most unbelievable is that it's said that taking this train to Anju only takes a little over 15 minutes!
This news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
"Are you kidding me? We can get to Anzhou in just over fifteen minutes? How is that possible!"
Even traveling at top speed, enduring wind and rain, it would take at least two days to reach Yongle County in Anzhou!
A traveling merchant who frequently traveled between the two places looked on in disbelief and immediately shared his experience.
Someone like him, who is always on the go and knows the journey and time like the back of his hand, was stunned when he heard the news and could hardly believe it.
"The door opened, the door opened! It really goes down to the ground? Could it be true?"
Someone in the crowd shouted at the top of their lungs, their tone full of curiosity and probing.
"Why don't we go down and see for ourselves? Let's go, let's join in the fun."
If this so-called high-speed rail is really that fast, then I'd like to go to Anzhou. I've never left Suzhou in my entire life...
"Wow, you just stood there and got underground? That's really amazing!"
"You can really buy tickets? Wow, only twenty coins! I'm really tempted..."
"What? A round trip can be even cheaper, thirty-five coins? Oh no, now I'm even more tempted..."
"Huh? There's an 88% discount today? Okay, okay, stop tempting me, I'll buy it, alright..."
"Haha, a round trip to Anzhou for only thirty-one coins? Such a bargain, anyone who doesn't buy it is a fool!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, which caused a burst of laughter from everyone.
"Stop talking, stop talking, I'm buying more, I'm buying more!"
A long row of self-service ticket machines was instantly filled with a flood of Suzhou residents, creating a bustling ticket-buying frenzy in the blink of an eye...
"Let's go, let's go to Anzhou together and have some fun! There's also that [Fairyland], it looks really interesting!"
It's not like it'll be over in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. So, the round trip will only take about half an hour at most, which won't cause any delays.
I'm so curious, I have to go see what's going on!
Among the crowd, several young people were excitedly shouting, and their encouraging words inspired many others who were still hesitant to buy tickets.
Thanks to their proximity, when everyone arrived at the underground ticket hall, they were so amazed by all the mysterious and novel things in front of them that they couldn't close their mouths.
When they saw the discounted seat prices displayed on the ticket machine again, to be honest, no one could resist the temptation.
The price seemed to have a magical power, constantly waving in front of everyone's eyes, stirring their hearts.
At this point, it becomes clear that round-trip tickets are even more cost-effective...
When I heard the passenger service staff and others exclaiming that there was an even greater discount, my excitement was instantly amplified to its peak...
