Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 62: The Most Handsome Guy on the Street

As soon as the car left the fruit wine factory, it attracted the attention of countless passersby. Not only was its unique appearance unlike anything made by humans, but the materials used were also not something an ordinary person could come into contact with.

You can't touch it, but you can ask about it.

"Yang Ning, is this a car you're driving?" Wang Zheng, a neighbor who knew Yang Ning, asked. He rented a place next to the fruit wine factory and made porcelain bottles, so he had business dealings with Yang Ning.

"Yes, it's a car I invented. I call it a sedan!" Yang Ning replied.

"Can I sit in it?" Wang Zheng asked again, noticing that there was still space in the back.

"Sure, come on!" Yang Ning stopped the car and opened the door for him.

"The seats are so soft, but this place is a bit narrow!" Wang Zheng wasn't fat, but he was used to sitting in big cars, so he wasn't accustomed to sitting in a sedan.

"Oh, there's no need to use your feet to pedal?" Wang Zheng noticed that there were no pedals under his feet.

The tank had been around for three months now, and some blacksmith shops had also released their versions, but their craftsmanship was lower, and they could only be used as toys. Wang Zheng had also experienced it.

"I invented an engine that only needs wine to run!" Yang Ning laughed. "But it can't pull heavy things, so the smaller the car, the better."

"I see!" Wang Zheng nodded and asked again, "But it seems like this thing doesn't have much defensive power. How does it attack?"

"Yeah!" Xun Hu was also curious. It seemed like this car didn't have a tank spiral sword installed.

"This is not a weapon, it's a civilian transportation tool!" Yang Ning said. "Without weapons, of course, you can bring your own sword and stab beasts from the window!"

"Huh?" Wang Zheng blinked. "If it has no attacking power, what's the point of making it?"

"Just for driving!" Yang Ning asked, "Don't you think you're the most handsome guy on this street now?"

"The most handsome, me?" Wang Zheng was stunned. He looked outside and indeed, wherever this car could be seen on the street, people were curiously looking in this direction.

He was just a porcelain maker. When had he ever experienced such attention? In an instant, he understood the meaning behind Yang Ning's words.

"What do you think?" Yang Ning smiled. "Do you want to own one too?"

"Can I?" Wang Zheng immediately asked.

"Didn't I say it? This is for civilian use!" Yang Ning laughed. "When I open a car factory, I'll produce more to sell!"

"Then I'll definitely buy one!" Wang Zheng nodded immediately.

What? You say this thing has no attacking power?

It's good that it has no attacking power. Only brutes would buy a car with attacking power!

"What is this thing, a car?" someone shouted on the street.

"How do you open this window?" Wang Zheng asked.

"There's a lever below, just shake it and it'll open!" Yang Ning said.

"Oh, shaking the lever is so fun!" Modern cars are considered low, but Wang Zheng was having a blast playing with this thing that no one else had. Even Xun Hu started fiddling with it.

Soon, Wang Zheng figured out how to open the car window. He then opened the window and shouted outside, "This is a sedan! When the factory opens in the future, everyone can have one!"

"Huh?" Yang Ning was speechless. Looking at how happy he was, it seemed like he was the one who built this car.

"How much does this car cost?" Xun Hu asked next to him.

"Well, ten thousand taels of gold!" Yang Ning thought for a moment and said.

"So cheap?" Xun Hu widened his eyes. "My father's sedan cost five hundred thousand taels to build. How can a sedan be cheaper than a sedan?"

It really can be. Your father's sedan will be considered an antique in a few hundred years. What's a car? Just mechanical junk.

But since you said that...

"I mean it's in gold!"

"That's about right. I'll reserve one!" Xun Hu immediately agreed.

"Why do you want this?" Yang Ning asked. "With your physical Sixth Layer, you can fly through the air!"

"It looks cool when driving!" Xun Hu shrugged, "Everyone else is walking, but I have a car to ride in. It's exciting just thinking about it."

Well, scarcity makes things valuable. When everyone can fly on swords, cars might actually become popular.

As for the issue of cars being slower than flying swords, is that really a problem?

I drive a car to show off, not to rush. The slower the speed, the better!

"What a beautiful car!" As the car passed by the flower street, the passengers inside didn't even watch the show. They leaned against the railing and looked outside. The railing was too crowded, so they squatted on the rooftops or stood directly on the roofs!

The singing and dancing girls also became curious when they saw this scene. They immediately stopped their performances and followed the crowd outside to join in the fun.

The alchemists and craftsmen, unless they couldn't stop, directly stopped their work and came to the door to watch. After all, work is never-ending, but cars are rarely seen!

"What is this!" Nangong Xue stood at the door of her shop, her cherry-like mouth wide open, completely unable to close it.

"This is a car!" The steward next to her said.

"I know it's a car, but how can it look like this?" Nangong's family also produces carriages, but carriages have looked the same for thousands of years. Who could have imagined that cars could be produced like this?

No matter how much I rack my brains, I can't figure it out!

"I heard that Yang Ning made this again!" A well-informed assistant hurriedly came over to report.

"Yang Ning." Nangong Xue was familiar with this name. After all, she had to pay Yang Ning a penny for every pair of glasses sold!

She didn't pay much attention to this clause when signing the contract before. After all, it was just glasses. How many could be sold?

She paid that 500,000 mainly to get on good terms with this Immortal Ascension Academy student who could invent tanks. Who would have thought that the glasses would not only sell well in Ocean Cloud City, but also be popular in major cities and the capital? They sold over a million pairs in three months!

Every time she thought about the money she had to give to Yang Ning for each pair of glasses, her heart bled. She had planned to ask Yang Ning to change the contract, but now Yang Ning had come up with something new!

Turning her head to look at the people on the street stretching their necks and looking with their mouths wide open, it was obvious that the market for this thing must be huge!

"It seems that the contract should be adjusted, but the share given to him should be higher!" Nangong Xue thought to herself.

Yang Ning didn't notice Nangong Xue's thoughts. He didn't even notice that she was in the crowd. After all, there were too many people. He could only drive carefully, afraid of scratching someone.

Mainly because his mindset hadn't changed yet. His inherent concept was that if he hit someone, he had to compensate.

After a long time, the car finally stopped at the entrance of Immortal Ascension Academy.

"Wang Xiong, I can only take you here!" Yang Ning said.

"Oh, okay!" Wang Zheng saw the entrance of Immortal Ascension Academy in front of him and nodded quickly, then reluctantly got out of the car.

The car started and entered the campus. The gatekeeper of Immortal Ascension Academy casually glanced and then withdrew his gaze. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and stuck his head out of the room, "Hey, ah, this! Huh?"

"What's going on?" Another gatekeeper was lying on the bed reading a novel. Seeing his companion's expression, he couldn't help but tease, "Is someone invading?"

"No, look at that thing!"

The other gatekeeper stood up and looked out the window, "What thing? Is there a novel that's so good? Huh? What is that, a car?"

Immortal Ascension Academy is mostly populated by students between the ages of 12 and 18.

Students in this age group love to chase after new things. The glasses produced by Nangong's family are mainly sold to them. When Yang Ning wore a white coat when he left Fixed Monster Valley, it was later imitated by the alchemy students. After discovering the benefits of the white coat, even the students studying alchemical arrays started wearing them.

If clothes and glasses can be so sought after, not to mention cars?

The car was discovered by the students as soon as it entered the school and was immediately surrounded. Coupled with countless people calling their friends, even more people were rushing over!

"Brothers, make way! Make way! This car can't fly!" Yang Ning had no choice but to open the window and shout.

"Wow, it's Yang Ning, Brother Yang! Is this thing a car? Did you invent it?" Some people instantly recognized Yang Ning, and there were quite a few of them!

"It's a new means of transportation that I invented!" Yang Ning smiled, "Let me handle my business first. As for the car, those who are interested can wait for me at the No. 6 playground, and I will explain it to you in detail!"

"Okay!" The students followed suit and quickly made way.

In the spirit of following the crowd, the students in front also voluntarily made way to facilitate the passage of the car. Some people even quickly spread the news that Yang Ning would explain the car at the No. 6 playground. Some of the faster ones had already brought chairs to occupy a spot.

Meanwhile, Yang Ning and Xun Hu drove the car all the way to the office building.
