I'm dressed in ancient times, I have a house, electricity, and a system pet.

Don't be fooled by the solemn expressions and dignified demeanor of these Imperial Guards when they are on guard duty.

In reality, most of them are just young people in their late teens or early twenties, a time when their curiosity is particularly strong.

Seeing that the commander waved his hand, letting them try, the soldiers immediately felt as if a mountain of burden had been lifted from their shoulders, and their whole bodies felt relaxed.

In addition, the Imperial Guards rarely had the opportunity to have fun, so they couldn't help but unleash some of their true nature at this moment.

At this moment, several fast-paced individuals had already jogged to the vicinity of the rental point.

After carefully reading the instructions above the rental point, they understood and their eyes lit up with excitement.

"Ah, I get it! It's clearly written here that you have to rent these shared bikes before you can ride them... What? One penny is enough for half an hour?"

"What's going on? These guys all look like wild horses, are they really available for rent? If someone who can't ride a horse gets on one, aren't they afraid the wild horses will go out of control and cause trouble?"

"Wait, there's a bright curtain next to this horse. They say you have to scan your face here first, then throw in a coin to unlock the rental..."

"Whatever, I happen to have some copper coins on me, so let me give it a try!"

One of the Imperial Guards officers, who was also curious, read the rules of the loan. After reading the rules, he felt an itch to get out of his pocket, so he immediately took out a copper coin.

It's so cheap, I might as well give it a try!

Most of the Imperial Guards, however, were more cautious. Seeing that some people were already eager to try, they decided to hold back and observe from the sidelines before making a decision.

Young and impetuous, Lin Xiao didn't care about anything else. At this moment, he was as excited as a child who had received a favorite toy, and he couldn't wait to put the coins in his hand into the coin slot of the ticket screen on the shared bicycle.

The shared bicycles and various public transportation vehicles deployed in [Fairyland] have been automatically updated and adjusted since they have been upgraded to have unlimited supply, thus lowering the barrier to rental and use.

The original shared bicycles were only available for rent to those who visited [Wonderland] and registered as members.

Now, members can still rent by scanning their faces, while non-members can also rent by paying a deposit and a one-cent rental fee.

However, when Bai Mengran deployed the shared bicycles within the palace area, she specifically waived the deposit for that area.

Therefore, what these Imperial Guards saw was that they could rent a powerful and imposing Hummer with its flags and banners for a mere one copper coin...

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Xiao inserted a copper coin, and the shared bicycle in front of him clicked open.

At the same time, a reminder pops up on the screen:

"Shared bicycle rental successful. The rental period is half an hour. You need to renew in advance if the rental period expires. Otherwise, the shared bicycle will be locked automatically when the rental period ends and will not be able to continue.

Furthermore, please be mindful of courteous horse riding. If any damage to the stallion or any attempt to cheat is detected, [Fairyland] reserves the right to terminate the rental service at any time. Please be aware of this.

This program is specifically designed to automatically trigger for first-time renters of shared bicycles, serving as a reminder for new passengers.

This is to prevent anyone from having ulterior motives after taking a liking to the horses, and it can be considered as setting rules in advance to prevent problems before they occur.

"Wow...this horse is really something else!"

As soon as Lin Xiao got the shared bicycle, he immediately noticed how different it was from ordinary horses.

"Please mount your horse. There are two ways to ride. You can either tell us your destination directly, and the shared horse will automatically plan the route and take you there."

You can also give directions verbally during the ride, and the shared bike will follow your verbal instructions to reach your destination.

"Huh???" Lin Xiao's mouth gaped open even wider when he heard this, and he stretched his neck forward with a look of utter astonishment on his face.

"Navigation...direct route? Directions...I have to give directions to this horse? Seriously...are you kidding me?"

Lin Xiao, who always prided himself on his superb horsemanship, was originally planning to mount his horse directly, but when he heard this series of new horsemanship methods that completely overturned his understanding, he was really dumbfounded.

His long, raised leg was stuck, unsure whether to go up or down, and could only hang awkwardly on the horse's back, caught in a dilemma...

Seemingly sensing the passengers' confusion, the shared bicycle company actually "spoke out":

"Hello, passenger. I am your riding partner. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

Where would you like to go? You can tell me directly and I'll navigate there for you, or you can choose to control the route yourself and give me directions at any time along the way.

"My God... my God, this horse is so weird, it can actually talk to people! Oh my god! My crotch..."

Lin Xiao had one foot on the ground and the other foot on the horse's body.

Startled by the horse's sudden voice, his underwear ripped open at the crotch with a "rip"...

In a moment of desperation, he quickly leaped onto the horse's back!

Seeing that his brothers had all heard the shameful sound of his pants tearing, they all turned to look at him, seemingly trying to confirm the source of the sound.

Lin Xiao couldn't care less about anything else at this point. With a "nothing to lose" mentality, he shouted loudly at the horse:

"Ma, set off immediately and head to Yongdingmen!"

"Whoa~~~~"

The shared bicycle raised its neck and let out a clear, resounding reply, as if cheerfully responding, "Alright!"

The next instant, all the Imperial Guards who were still watching saw—

The horse beneath Lin Xiao burst forth with astonishing speed almost instantly, shooting off like an arrow and disappearing from everyone's sight in a flash...

"That speed...it's ridiculously fast! I barely blinked, and I didn't even catch a glimpse of the horse!"

"This isn't just a horse, it's a divine steed! I have to rent one and try it out myself!"

"Ah, I'd like to try too. Does anyone have a copper coin they can lend me? I didn't bring any money with me today..."

Just as the Imperial Guards were watching Lin Xiao's demonstration, they were all eager to rent a shared single horse, causing chaos on the scene.

Lin Xiao, who used to always ride the horses but is now being "ridden" by them, feels that his perception is being completely reshaped.

In the blink of an eye, the shared bicycle sped off at full speed, carrying him through the crowd, dodging left and right, and galloping towards Yongding Gate, the outer city gate, with overwhelming force.

The speed was so fast that even Lin Xiao himself didn't have time to see the road conditions along the way.

He spent the whole time yelling and shouting, "Hey, hey, slow down! Slow down..."

"Oh my god, there's someone in front! Get out of the way, we're going to crash into them! Ah... wait? They dodged it..."

"Oh my, my heart was about to jump out of my chest! This horse actually has its own ideas; it's running like a madman..."

Throughout the journey, Lin Xiao's mouth never stopped, chattering incessantly.

Because the horse was going so fast, he didn't even have time to notice where he was.

However, what was truly strange was that despite his incredible speed, he remained as steady as a mountain while riding on horseback, without feeling the slightest jolt. It was truly bizarre.

However, when he finally looked up, he was instantly dumbfounded:

"What? We've already arrived at Yongding Gate?"

Lin Xiao rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and upon closer inspection, he realized that he had indeed arrived at Yongding Gate, the outer city gate about five kilometers away from the Forbidden City!

Normally, riding a horse would take at least the time it takes to burn an incense stick!

"A divine steed! It truly is a divine steed!!!"

Lin Xiao's voice trembled with excitement, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable fervor.

As for the Imperial Guards, they were responsible for guarding the Forbidden City every day and were cut off from the outside world. They knew nothing about the rumors of the "Fairyland" and had no way of knowing about any of the magical artifacts and treasures there.

Seeing with my own eyes that there are such incredibly fast shared single-ride horses, I was filled with excitement.

However, Lin Xiao's thoughts at this moment were not primarily focused on himself, but rather on the instant connection he made to:

To acquire this divine steed is truly a great fortune for our nation!
