Chapter 338 Such a magnificent horse, renting it for half an hour costs only 1 copper coin?
The people of Shuixi Town all looked up and gazed at the sky.
At this moment, having overcome the land obstacles, the shared horse caravan had reached its maximum speed and was speeding towards Peach Blossom Town along the shortest route planned by the navigation.
"What... what's going on? How can horses fly into the sky?"
The people gasped in surprise at the sight.
Shuixi Town is the most remote town in the county from the "Fairyland," and there has never been public transportation to this place before, so the townspeople know very little about the "Fairyland."
Only a very small number of people have heard of the name "Fairyland," and even fewer have actually been there.
Therefore, when everyone saw a group of people riding horses and flying into the sky, the people below were truly astonished!
Exclamations of surprise and curiosity rose and fell, and even Bai Mengran and the others, who were flying at low altitude, could hear them clearly.
Just then, someone in the crowd who knew the ropes finally spoke up to explain:
"Didn't you all notice? There are already several of these shared horse rental points in our town."
It's said that this is a great thing that the Fairyland and the government are working together to promote, which means that ordinary people like us will soon be able to rent those flying horses!
The speaker was a young man dressed in a dark blue embroidered robe. He had an outstanding presence and stood out in the crowd.
His outfit, in particular, suited him perfectly, and it always made people want to take a second look.
If someone had a keen eye, they would immediately recognize that his elegant and extraordinary attire was one of the men's ready-to-wear pieces from the Dream Pavilion in the Fairy Realm—"Mountain and River Brocade: Soaring Guest".
He is one of the few members of the "Fairyland" in Shuixi Town.
A few days ago, while on business in another town, he overheard his business partners talking about that magical place, so he went there with a friend.
That one trip was all it took for him to fall completely into the trap of [Fairyland]. From then on, he would go there whenever he had free time, looking forward to trying the new delicacies every day.
And just like that, he quickly became a die-hard fan of [Wonderland].
Today, he happened to pass by a shared horse rental point marked with the words "Fairyland" and was immediately excited. He quickly went up to carefully examine the notice.
When it was confirmed that the rental point was indeed set up by [Fairyland], Wu Hao was extremely excited.
Haha, God really helps him!
It must have been his daily longing for the "fairyland" that moved the heavens.
This is so convenient! He can rent a shared bicycle that goes directly to "Wonderland" just a few steps from home, so he no longer has to go to other towns to catch a bus!
Later, hearing the discussions and curiosity of those around him, he couldn't help but stand up and promote [Fairyland], telling the townspeople everything he knew.
"This... young man, are you serious? Can ordinary folks like us really ride those flying steeds?"
An elderly man looked on with suspicion. He had lived most of his life and knew very well that even if there were some good things, they were only for the rich and powerful.
This young man is so naive; he's obviously been fooled.
"Old man, I'm not just talking nonsense."
The government has posted notices, and it's all written clearly in black and white.
If you don't believe me, just walk a few steps ahead with me. There's a shared horse rental point there; you'll see for yourself when you get there!
Upon hearing the old man's skeptical tone, Wu Hao guessed that the other party definitely did not believe him.
He was impatient and couldn't stand being misunderstood, so he immediately made a righteous and stern suggestion.
"Oh? Young man, listen to this old man's advice: there's no such thing as a free lunch. You've probably been scammed!"
Where is that rental point you mentioned? I can't see it here.
The old man, with a stubborn and unruly demeanor, arrogantly lectured Wu Hao, clearly having unwavering faith in his own experience as someone who had been through it all.
Wu Hao was furious and told him to wait and see. He then returned alone to the rental point he had just passed by, intending to rent a shared single horse directly and let the facts speak for themselves.
The old man on the other side still looked disdainful, standing there and constantly criticizing the young people of today for being competitive and concerned about saving face, rambling on and on about how he was taking advantage of his age.
At first, what he said seemed to make some sense, but after listening to it for a while, the others found him noisy and self-righteous, so they stopped talking to him.
They just stood there waiting to see if the young man from before could really borrow the horses.
"Hehe, you young people should listen to your elders more. We've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. If you don't listen to your elders, you'll regret it later!"
The old man continued rambling on, and everyone was already impatient, just waiting to see the outcome.
Just then, the young man from before returned on horseback, and the horse he rode was exactly the same as the horses that had flown by in the sky!
"Wow, it seems this young man wasn't lying!"
Well, sometimes you really can't speak too definitively.
The world is changing so fast, which is a good thing. We should take a long-term view and keep up with the pace of change!
An elderly woman who had long been fed up with the old man's words immediately retorted without hesitation, saying that she had always disliked stubborn and unreasonable people the most.
"What? This... is impossible..."
When the old man saw the young man actually riding over on horseback, his face was filled with disbelief. He quickly tried to explain himself, saying...
"Heh, young man, you must have spent a fortune to get this, right? We don't need to pretend we're rich when we're not. Young people like that, always wanting to save face..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Wu Hao said loudly:
"This is a shared bicycle, provided by [Fairyland] in Taoyuan Town, and is also a public welfare project supported by the Yongle County government."
And despite how magnificent this horse is, its rental price is surprisingly low.
You might not believe it, but this shared bicycle can be rented for half an hour for just 1 copper coin!
However, you must first become a member of [Wonderland] to enjoy this benefit.
Those who had been watching with amusement were suddenly excited when they heard the unbelievable rental price.
After all, the price is so cheap that everyone can afford it.
Now, everyone surrounded Wu Hao, bombarding him with questions that seemed to have no end in sight...
"Such a magnificent horse, and you can really rent it for only one coin for half an hour? That's such a bargain..."
"Hey young man, tell me quickly, how do you become a member of this [Wonderland]? Does it cost a lot of money?"
"Yeah, yeah! Tell us how you rented it! If it's really that cheap, I'd love to rent one and try it out!"
When it comes to the "fairyland", Wu Hao can talk endlessly and promote it very enthusiastically.
Upon hearing that it only cost the price of a ticket to become a member, everyone was immediately tempted.
Even knowing that the rental price for non-members is 3 coins, I still find it acceptable.
Immediately, some people inquired about the location of the rental point, then went directly to rent a shared bicycle and followed Wu Hao's instructions, navigating straight to [Wonderland].
The old man, who had been dominating the conversation, was now completely humiliated, and no one was willing to listen to him anymore.
He stood there, stunned, repeatedly shouting, "Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
