Chapter 66 Oh Father, Mother, I'm Going to Heaven!
"Passengers, please sit upright and fasten your seatbelts shortly."
The driver's voice rang out in the carriage, and Kong Nishang immediately straightened her back and sat up straight. A thick strap extended from behind the seat, passing through her body and securing her to the seat.
"Huh? Sister Bai, what are you doing? Why are you tying me up?"
Bai Mengran was experiencing the automatic seatbelt service with great interest.
This is great! I don't have to do it myself anymore. Plus, the seatbelt can automatically adjust its length according to the size of the body. It's very intelligent.
Before riding thrilling rides like roller coasters, she would always be flustered and worried that her seatbelt wasn't fastened properly, as if she had paranoia.
It's still more reassuring to use products from the system. Once you fasten your seatbelt, no matter how you move, you'll be firmly held in place by the seat.
"Yiyi, this is for safety reasons. You'll understand soon enough."
Seeing Bai Mengran smile at her, Kong Nishang felt a little uneasy for some reason.
"Ding ding ding~ This public carriage is about to depart for the market entrance of Heshun Town. The entire journey is 18 kilometers and the estimated time is 6 minutes. Please sit tight and pay attention to safety."
As the in-carriage announcement sounded, the carriage left the "Fairyland" and began to move slowly.
Upon hearing the voice, Kong Nishang looked incredulous. "Sister Bai, are we going to Heshun Town? It's so far, how can we get there so quickly?"
Her father had taken her to Heshun Town before, and it took about an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.
So when she heard the broadcast, she wondered if her ears were broken and she was mishearing the splits, otherwise how could it be so fast?
"Yiyi, look out the window!"
As the carriage left the "Fairyland," it suddenly took to the air, with two enormous, seven-colored wings rising from either side of the carriage to steadily support its balance.
When Kong Nishang saw this, she was so frightened that she froze on the spot, her heart pounding in her throat.
How can a carriage fly in the sky?!
Whose carriage is driving into the sky...?
Oh my god, Mom and Dad! I've gone to heaven!!!
Kong Nishang cried out silently, but no sound came out when she opened her mouth.
Bai Mengran, a frequent flyer on modern airplanes, was not nervous but extremely excited, after all, it was her first time riding in a flying carriage.
Who knows? This is so cool!
Bai Mengran, who witnessed the carriage take off, was amazed by its smooth ride. She had previously encountered turbulence when flying, but this carriage was surprisingly stable, as if it were on flat ground.
It was as if air resistance and airflow did not exist.
Once it reached a certain height, the carriage began to speed away.
"Sister Bai, are we really flying in the sky? Am I dreaming?"
Kong Nishang gradually adapted, managed to regain her voice with a couple of "ah ah" sounds, and instinctively gripped the seat tightly with both hands.
"Yes, Yiyi, you're the first person to ride in this flying carriage! Enjoy the speed and excitement!"
Bai Mengran patted Kong Nishang's hand, signaling her to calm down, "Yiyi, look down there, the houses have all become so small."
"Wow! It really is! They look like little boxes, all packed together!"
Kong Nishang gradually became bolder. She discovered that the carriage was very stable and did not shake at all because of her movements, so she dared to move her body slowly.
She pressed her face against the carriage window, staring wide-eyed at the scenery outside, her face filled with shock and excitement.
This is all so dreamlike! Sister Bai must be a fairy to be able to fly through the clouds. So this is what it feels like to fly in the sky!
Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long. Just as Kong Nishang was beginning to enjoy herself, the arrival announcement came on again.
Meanwhile, the people of Taoyuan Town were in an uproar.
Since [Fairyland] was at the end of the street, no one noticed the carriage taking off.
Some people looked up and saw a large bird that looked like a horse flying in the sky, its body covered in colorful plumage, and thought it was an auspicious sign from heaven.
The man hurriedly called for people to come and see, but when they came out and looked again, the sky had already disappeared.
More than one person in Taoyuan Town saw a large, colorful bird flying in the sky. Some people knelt down and made a wish to the heavens on the spot. As a result, the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and people began to spread the word that auspicious omens had descended upon Taoyuan Town.
Before landing, Bai Mengran remembered the invisibility function mentioned by the system. She thought it would be better to keep a low profile since she had just arrived in Heshun Town, so she set the carriage to "invisibility" and found a corner where no one would notice her as her landing point.
"Hey Yiyi, the test flight is over! You can eat some snacks and rest in the car for a bit. After I hand out the flyers, we'll head back once the car is full of people."
"Okay, Sister Bai, then I'll wait for you to come back here!"
Kong Nishang definitely needs time to process what happened; everything just now happened too fast for her to process.
When the carriage stopped at the designated location, Bai Mengran left the snacks in the carriage and got off with a bag of promotional flyers.
"System, turn on the screen and start playing the promotional video!"
[Alright, host. The promotional video has been updated and now includes advertisements for newly opened stores. It will now begin playing.]
"Wow, you're amazing, Commander! How can you be so clever!"
【Absolutely! I can't just sit idly by while the host is busy. I'm a mature system now, and I'll find work to do on my own!】
[Also, host, I've assigned you a new task. You can check it out in your taskbar when you have time.]
"Okay, okay, I'll just do the task as it comes. I'm going to hand out flyers now."
As Bai Mengran walked, she communicated with the system. Not wanting to delay anything, she planned to take a stroll around the neighborhood to see where there were more potential customers.
[The host should have brought Xiao Yi along. How could I let you personally hand out flyers? This kind of tiring work can be left to the AI. (′???`)]
The system said indignantly.
"We don't have enough extra manpower, so each shop needs someone to watch it."
Bai Mengran also misses Xiao Yi, her powerful megaphone.
[Waaah, keep it up, host! Once you unlock a few more waiters, you won't have to work so hard!]
(╥╯﹏╰╥)?
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Bai Mengran was talking to the system and didn't notice the figure that darted out from the alleyway on the side of the street.
Wang Ergou and his younger brother Wang Xiaochuan carried the vegetables they grew to town to sell early in the morning.
Just as they were about to head back after selling almost everything, they were spotted by Fang Dali and his gang, a local bully.
These bullies, though young, were adept at bullying the weak. Seeing that the Wang brothers were easy to bully, they would always demand money from them, and if they couldn't pay, they would get a beating.
Wang Ergou's mother, Li, has recently fallen seriously ill. The family has no money to hire a doctor, so she can only stay at home and endure the illness.
The two sensible brothers picked vegetables in their own field before dawn, thinking of selling them in town to earn some money to buy medicine for their mother.
The two of them carried a basket of vegetables on their backs and walked for nearly an hour before reaching the town's vegetable market.
Because the vegetables were fresh and the price was cheap, they sold out quickly, earning him over twenty copper coins.
Wang Ergou was thinking of rushing to the pharmacy to see if there were any cheap medicines to take back to save his mother, but the two brothers hadn't gone far when they ran into Fang Dali and his gang.
