An Chen, with Su Xiaojiu, almost fled in a panic, leaving the lingerie store.
After buying shoes and socks, they had bought almost everything, so An Chen, carrying several bags, left the small commodities market.
An Chen first went home to put away the things he had bought, explained the uses of items like toothbrushes and toothpaste to Su Xiaojiu, and then picked out two clothes for Su Xiaojiu to wear.
"Your clothes are all so thin."
Su Xiaojiu changed clothes in the bedroom, complaining, but quickly added:
"But it seems to be a bit hotter here than where we are, so thin is good."
After Su Xiaojiu came out of the bedroom, she had already changed out of her somewhat heavy-looking long dress, putting on a white shirt, a pleated skirt that barely reached her knees, and a pair of white cotton socks.
She looked like a vibrant high school girl.
If she had applied a little makeup, her beauty might have surpassed many others.
"Not bad, at least you now look no different from people in our world."
The premise was that she didn't talk nonsense or do anything out of line.
"These shoes look so tight."
Su Xiaojiu held the small leather shoes, observing them for a long time, pinching them, with a strange expression.
"Shoes, well, you have to wear them more, the more you wear them, the more comfortable they become; of course, they'll be a bit uncomfortable at first."
"Oh."
Su Xiaojiu still put on the small leather shoes; although they were a bit tight, they were acceptable.
Next, it was time to take Su Xiaojiu around.
An Chen thought for a moment and realized there was nothing to see near his house, so he simply took Su Xiaojiu to the bus stop.
This time, An Chen did not let Su Xiaojiu use the Stealth Talisman when they went out, but he regretted it once they got on the bus.
The benefit of the Stealth Talisman was not only that Su Xiaojiu could not be discovered, but also that it could help to evade paying the fare.
It cost two more yuan.
"Oh~"
The two sat in the last row of the empty bus, An Chen in the aisle seat, while Su Xiaojiu was pressed against the window, staring wide-eyed at the outside.
This was her first time riding a vehicle, and also her first time coming out during the day specifically for fun.
Before, she had only followed An Chen to see what he was doing.
But today, she could properly appreciate this world.
Even the bus she was sitting on was a novel thing for her.
An Chen took Su Xiaojiu all the way by bus to the central district.
Nancheng was a very prosperous city, and the central district on a weekend was even more crowded with people.
An Chen brought her here not for shopping or anything else, but mainly for her to recognize things.
"What is that? I just saw it on the bus!"
"Traffic light. You can go on green, and you can't go on red."
"What about this?"
"This is a trash can. You just throw any unwanted trash into it..."
"Oh... Then, what about that one over there? It keeps changing!"
"That's an electronic screen. It's a bit complicated to explain. You can search for it on your phone."
"Okay... Eh eh eh? Is that a Yao Beast? Why is it so small!"
An Chen looked in the direction Su Xiaojiu was pointing and found it was nothing more than a small dog on a leash.
There were fewer people walking dogs nearby, but it wasn't unheard of.
"It's just a pet, it won't hurt people and isn't aggressive. In our world, some animals are tamed by us, becoming docile, or becoming pets, or becoming food... I guess you could say that."
"There are also Yao Beasts in the Kyushu Continent that are tamed, and there are special places for breeding Yao Beasts and so on."
Su Xiaojiu nodded.
She had also seen some people wandering the streets with their Yao Pets, even using them to tease Mortals.
"Hey, what's that over there, so small... Is that also what you call a vehicle?"
An Chen looked in another direction.
Su Xiaojiu's attention easily shifted from one place to another, and he had to keep looking around with her.
He saw a young man operating an electric wheelchair, slowly driving across the crosswalk and onto the sidewalk.
"That's not a car, it's a wheelchair. This one should be electric. If it's not electric, you need to push those two big wheels with your hands to move forward, or someone else needs to push from behind."
"A wheelchair? The name is quite fitting..."
Su Xiaojiu pinched her chin.
"Is this also a tool for saving effort and getting around?"
"No," An Chen shook his head and said, "This is used by some disabled people. Their legs cannot walk normally, or they even don't have legs, so they need this kind of wheelchair to travel..."
Before he finished speaking, the young man in the wheelchair got stuck at a small step on the sidewalk; the wheelchair couldn't go up.
As a result, the young man actually stood up from the wheelchair, used his hands to lift the wheelchair, lifted it onto the sidewalk, and then sat back down.
"Didn't you say they couldn't walk?"
"This... This person is quite special."
An Chen covered his forehead, not knowing how to explain.
"Some people... indeed use it as a means of transportation."
Su Xiaojiu suddenly stopped talking, just standing still, watching the electric wheelchair rumble away.
"You... What's wrong with you?"
An Chen waved his hand in front of Su Xiaojiu's eyes, which made Su Xiaojiu react.
"That wheelchair looks like so much fun."
"Do you want one?"
An Chen's eyes lit up.
Interested, interested is good.
"Yes!"
Su Xiaojiu nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation, looking at An Chen.
"I can get you one, how about it?"
"Good!"
Su Xiaojiu nodded vigorously, her mouth stretched to her ears.
"Ahem."
An Chen extended his right hand, rubbing his index finger, middle finger, and thumb together.
"Yes! I'll give you another box of that qingxin grass when I get back!"
An Chen beamed, opened his phone, and ordered an electric wheelchair with tens of thousands of monthly sales on an e-commerce app.
There were several models of wheelchairs with over ten thousand monthly sales, which made An Chen click his tongue in amazement.
Are there really that many wheelchair demands? Where do all those disabled people and elderly people using wheelchairs come from!
It's likely that many of them are used as personal transportation.
An Chen chose this electric wheelchair not only because of its high sales and guaranteed quality.
But also because this wheelchair could reach a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour on flat ground, practically a small electric scooter.
If an elderly person with mobility issues in a family were to ride this kind of wheelchair and accidentally drive at a slow speed... Tsk tsk tsk!
"Indeed, where there's demand, there's supply..."
After quickly paying and placing the order, An Chen showed Su Xiaojiu the wheelchair and the payment success image.
"I bought it for you."
"An Chen, you're so good!"
"It's alright."
An Chen scratched his head.
This little girl is really easy to satisfy.
Actually, Su Xiaojiu didn't need to thank him at all, because this was already a fair transaction.
An Chen had never seen such a simple-minded person.
