Chapter 400 The [Fairyland Express] High-Speed Rail Makes a Dazzling Debut, with the First Batch o
Qiu Mantong, Lai Cai, and every passenger who was queuing up to board the bus all turned their gazes forward at almost the same moment.
A transparent barrier stands in front of the platform door, like a temporary barrier, separating the high-speed rail tunnel from the platform door where everyone is.
As if drawn by some mysterious force, everyone craned their necks and peered out in the direction of the sound, eager to find out what was going on.
The next instant, a colossal train, gleaming with silver light and resembling a giant dragon, hurtled towards them from afar with a whooshing sound.
It stirred up a strong gust of air as it passed, but just as it was about to get close to everyone, it gradually slowed down and came to a steady stop...
The first thing that catches everyone's eye is the car body, which resembles a beautiful painting that is slowly unfolding.
The twelve train carriages are adorned with one beautiful and enchanting scene after another, resembling a fairyland.
Meanwhile, in the most conspicuous position on the vehicle, the magnificent and radiant characters of "Fairyland" shone brightly, flashing past everyone's eyes and instantly igniting their anticipation and excitement.
"Oh my god, look! A high-speed train! This is the legendary underground high-speed train! My goodness, this is so dazzling, it's blinding!!!"
"With such a massive body and such incredible speed, how did it manage to stop so suddenly and steadily? That's just unbelievable!"
"It felt like only a blink of an eye, and I witnessed the entire process of this underground high-speed rail appearing and stopping..."
My goodness, now I'm starting to believe it can really carry us to Anzhou..."
"When did our Anshun Kingdom become so powerful? My God, the world has developed in a way that we ordinary people never dared to dream of..."
"I thought those were all nonsense, but I never imagined that I was just narrow-minded!"
……
At the boarding station, passengers waiting in front of different carriages were instantly abuzz with excitement as the high-speed train appeared, exclaiming in amazement.
The underground high-speed train that everyone is looking at right now is the first one ever launched in Anshun, the first of its kind in the country!
This station, [Tushan Prefecture Suzhou Station], is the furthest station on the first day of the high-speed rail trial operation. It has the longest distance and the highest ticket price.
This means that those who are willing to buy tickets to experience this station are at least well-off, and have enough money to afford the hundred or so coins for a train ticket.
Those who were barely making ends meet, seeing that the ticket price, though not exorbitant, was still beyond their means, had no choice but to give up in disappointment.
They could only wander around the underground high-speed rail station hall, enjoying the cool air, and watch with envy as the wealthy people bought tickets without hesitation and entered the spacious and upscale waiting hall.
However, what they couldn't see was that at that moment, the first batch of passengers who had bought high-speed rail tickets had already begun to board the train at the platform.
As the transparent barrier doors slowly opened, passengers, clutching their tickets, proceeded in an orderly fashion to their respective carriages and platforms under the professional and meticulous guidance of the train attendants.
The large carriage number in front of each platform door is particularly eye-catching.
The waiting hall announcements continuously reminded passengers to wait in the area indicated on their tickets, which was already known in advance.
"Drip-drip-drip-"
A crisp announcement rang out, and the high-speed train doors opened in response.
At the same time, all platform doors opened simultaneously and in unison.
Passengers simply place their tickets in front of the ticket gate, scan them, and once the system confirms the ticket information is correct, they can pass through smoothly.
At each platform entrance, the train attendants patiently and enthusiastically provided guidance and assistance, and passengers were able to pass through the ticket check process quite quickly.
They all followed the example of those in front of them, clutching their tickets tightly in their hands well in advance.
When it was my turn, I simply scanned my ticket at the ticket gate and easily entered the station, then boarded the high-speed train.
It is worth mentioning that all passengers had successfully passed through the security gate and completed the security check process when they entered the waiting hall after purchasing their tickets.
During security checks, all flammable and explosive materials, weapons, poisons, and other items that may endanger the safety of train operations are strictly prohibited from being brought onto the high-speed train.
However, the high-speed rail station offers a very thoughtful free storage service, allowing passengers to temporarily store these items at the station and retrieve them upon their return trip.
Most of the first passengers who stumbled upon the high-speed rail were traveling light.
They had come down out of curiosity to investigate, and since they happened to have nothing else to do that day, they gritted their teeth and bought tickets, thus embarking on a wonderful, spontaneous journey...
If they lacked an extremely strong sense of curiosity, or if they happened to have free time, they would not have been able to board this high-speed train.
This is precisely why this group of passengers perfectly matches the ideal customer profile of the "Wonderland" cruise ship.
They have money and free time, a strong sense of curiosity, and decisive execution...
These conditions combined make it seem like the perfect trip for this destination.
This also perfectly aligns with the destination of this journey, "Fairyland," making it a mutually beneficial destination.
Of course, it's understandable that most passengers opted for the most cost-effective discounted seats.
But when they boarded the premium-priced carriage, they were still filled with surprises everywhere!
"Wow, there are so many seats in this carriage! What's my seat number again? Oh, number fifteen..."
Haha, everyone, look, the seat numbers are clearly written on these seats, so they're super easy to find!
Once on the train, everyone instinctively began looking for their seats.
Upon hearing this helpful passenger's reminder, everyone took out their tickets and carefully searched for their seats by comparing the information on them.
"Haha, I'm number seven, I spotted my seat right away!"
"Anyone with seats number six or eight? Your seats are right next to mine!"
"Hey, what a coincidence! I'm in carriage 10, seat 8! Where's this seat again?"
"Hey there, bro, did you see me waving at you?"
"Excuse me, I'm here..."
"Oh, young man, could you help this old woman see where my seat is? My eyesight isn't good enough, I can't see clearly..."
"Of course, no problem, grandma. Your ticket says seat number 37. Come on, let me help you find it!"
"Oh, thank you so much, bro! You're such a kind person!"
……
At the same time, there are actually train attendants and safety controllers patrolling back and forth in each carriage.
Passengers can directly ask them questions or seek help, no matter what they have.
However, most passengers spontaneously helped each other.
Especially those quick-witted young men and women, they can figure things out on their own almost without being taught.
Once they figure it out themselves, their enthusiasm will rise, and they will be even more willing to help others.
In this way, one can also transform their current excitement into a sense of accomplishment that "sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone."
It's like discovering a treasure yourself, and then leading a group of friends to search for it together—the joy is doubled!
So, during the short few-minute stop of the high-speed train, every carriage seemed to be enveloped in this warm and helpful atmosphere, and the scene was incredibly harmonious...
