The Great Tang Dynasty's Trans-Dimensional Conference: Little Rhinoceros Arrives

Lin Fan held the stroller; Xiao Sizi sat inside looking perfectly normal, showing no signs of discomfort. Chang Le, however, appeared visibly tense and uneasy. Lin Fan couldn't help but offer words of comfort:

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen. We'll be out of here soon!"

"Yes, don't be afraid, sis. This is an electric substitute; it's amazing!"

Xiao Sizi chimed in, saying that she had already ridden the elevator twice, making her arguably the person who had ridden the elevator the most times in the Tang Dynasty.

"Mmm, I'm not afraid!"

Hearing the two encouraging her, Chang Le felt much more at ease. With a "ding," the elevator doors opened again, and her vision brightened considerably.

"Let's go! We can leave now."

"Ah, oh!"

Chang Le realized what was happening and quickly walked outside. She was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, curious about everything.

"We're out already? Is Brother Lin Fan's house up there?"

Stepping out of the elevator and into the unfamiliar world, Chang Le was no longer afraid; instead, she felt incredibly curious!

"Well! These two sisters are indeed born of the same mother. They've only just come out of school, and they're already asking the same questions!" Lin Fan thought to himself.

"Yes, we were just there!"

Xiao Sizi quickly pointed to the building where Lin Fan lived. She wasn't surprised by her older sister's question, since she had asked the same questions on her first day.

"It's amazing how quickly we got down from such a tall building!"

Hearing Chang Le's words, Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed. After all, his neighborhood was already considered an old neighborhood, and in terms of height, it didn't even rank among the tallest in the vast city of Chengdu.

"Sister, look over there!" Little Sizi was sitting in the stroller, looking every bit the part of someone who was ruling the world.

Following the direction Xiao Sizi pointed, Chang Le felt dizzy for a moment. The tall buildings in the distance brought a great sense of oppression to this princess who had grown up in the deep palace!

"There really are such tall houses in this world!"

She couldn't find any words to describe the shock she felt at that moment. The Taiji Hall in the palace was already magnificent enough in her mind, but the houses she saw now were all far more exaggerated than the Taiji Hall!

"Sister, that's the car, it runs without a horse!" Little Sizi pointed to a car parked on the side.

Chang Le stared at the large white box in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. He kept guessing, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out the mystery behind it!

"Brother Lin Fan, if there's no horse, how can this box move?"

Her question stumped Lin Fan as well. Engine, dynamics, gasoline, battery—Lin Fan simply couldn't explain them all clearly.

"Yes, there are too many things involved here. In the Tang Dynasty, vehicles were powered by human labor or oxen and horses, while the vehicles here are powered by oil or electricity. It just goes to show that technology changes lives. Many things that you would find unbelievable in the Tang Dynasty are very common here!"

"Oil? Electricity? Technology changes lives? Okay, I get it!"

Although she didn't understand these things and didn't get the answers she wanted from Lin Fan, she wasn't disappointed. After all, she had witnessed so many amazing things today, so the trip was worthwhile for her.

As the three of them left the residential area, Chang Le was immediately struck by a bright and cheerful sight.

On the wide, flat road, cars of all colors sped by, tall buildings lined both sides of the road, and pedestrians came and went on the street, riding all sorts of two-wheeled vehicles she had never seen before.

The scenery she saw was completely different from the Tang Dynasty she lived in!

After walking for more than ten minutes, Chang Le gradually began to suppress her curiosity. She stopped asking Lin Fan too many questions. There were just too many amazing things in this world, and she was already quite satisfied with just seeing them. Little Si Zi, on the other hand, kept talking all the way.

"Brother Lin Fan, do you really want to eat at Weapon Forest?"

The weather was hot, and the three of them were drenched in sweat after just over ten minutes of walking. Chang Le didn't feel anything and kept looking around, but Xiao Si Zi couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, I'll take you to buy ice cream right away!" Lin Fan said, quickening his pace. Soon they arrived at the entrance of a milk tea shop.

He didn't choose to go to Sister Yuan's shop, after all, he had brought Chang Le along this time, which was really hard to explain.

A long queue had already formed in front of the milk tea shop. Lin Fan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Chang Le beside him:

"The way we address people here is different from where you are. You call young girls 'little sister' and boys 'little brother,' understand?"

"Okay, got it!"

Chang Le didn't think much of Lin Fan's instructions. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and she would just do whatever Lin Fan arranged.

There were still seven or eight people ahead of them in line. The sun was already quite bright, and Xiao Sizi was waving her little hand in front of her. Chang Le also subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun.

Seeing this, Lin Fan thought to himself, "I wasn't thoughtful enough when I went out today. I forgot to bring a parasol, and it's going to be a hassle every time I go out. Looks like it's time to buy a car!"

After waiting in line for another ten minutes, it was finally Lin Fan and his group's turn. The shop assistant, a young woman, noticed their eyes light up when she saw them.

"Handsome young man, beautiful young lady, what would you two like to order?"

"There's still a nest, there's still a nest!"

Seeing that the shop assistant only served Lin Fan and her older sister, Xiao Sizi, sitting in the car, was unhappy. She lifted the sunshade and looked at the shop assistant with a resentful expression.

"Oh, there's a cute little one inside! I didn't see you earlier, sorry! What would you like to order, little one?"

Seeing how adorable the little girl was, the shop assistant wasn't angry at all. Instead, she stared at the little girl with a maternal look.

"whee."

Hearing the clerk's question, Xiao Sizi turned to look at Lin Fan with a grin. She didn't know what to order, so she could only ask Lin Fan for help.

Lin Fan patted Xiao Sizi's head and said to the clerk, "Three strawberry ice creams, and three cups of freshly squeezed fruit tea at room temperature, please!"

Thinking that ice cream was already quite cold, and worried that eating too much would upset Xiao Sizi's stomach, Lin Fan ordered room temperature fruit tea. As for other milk teas, they would definitely have more additives compared to fruit tea, so they were not within Lin Fan's consideration.

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The shop assistant gave Xiao Sizi a sweet smile and then turned around to get busy.

Soon, the ice cream was ready, and Lin Fan took out his phone to scan the code and pay in advance.

"Thank you, miss!"

Upon seeing this, Chang Le quickly stepped forward, naturally took the ice cream, and thanked the staff.

"You are welcome!"

Seeing Chang Le dressed so beautifully and so politely, the shop assistant quickly returned the smile.

"Waaaaah, Weapon Forest, here I come!"

Little Si couldn't wait to take the ice cream from Chang Le's hand. After taking a bite, the cream on top covered her mouth.

Chang Le held the ice cream but didn't start eating it. Instead, she looked at Lin Fan.

"Eat it quickly, or it'll melt!"

Seeing Chang Le looking at him, Lin Fan was a little confused and quickly spoke up. What he didn't know was that in the strictly regulated palace, it was usually the elders who spoke first before the younger generation could start eating. Since Lin Fan had bought the ice cream, Chang Le subconsciously looked at him.

After receiving Lin Fan's signal, Chang Le began to eat slowly and deliberately. With one bite, the icy coolness of the ice cream instantly assaulted her taste buds.

Let's go!

Seeing that the two of them had already started eating, Lin Fan hung the freshly made fruit tea on the stroller handle and pushed the stroller out of the crowd.

Thus, Chang Le successfully took its first step in exploring the new world.
