Perhaps because the track the train was traveling on was somewhat unstable, the players aboard behaved themselves exceptionally well. Not a single carriage had any troublemakers by the time Xu Huo got off.
District 001 was a relatively technologically advanced sub-district. Although it lacked a ubiquitous network of spatial teleportation routes, teleportation devices had been installed at some key points throughout the cities. To prevent interference, the devices were spaced far apart, and interference-shielding equipment was installed nearby, mainly to keep players from accidentally disrupting city traffic with Space Artifacts or other devices.
The city Xu Huo had arrived in was a famous tourist destination, so flying wasn't prohibited there. As soon as he left the Station, he saw all sorts of flying vehicles in the sky. Some, specially outfitted for advertising, occasionally swept past, showering the city with digital flowers or fireworks. They interacted with the equipment on the ground, instantly transforming the entire city into a vast digital lake or a fireworks plaza. Vivid spots of light drifted everywhere, dazzling the eye.
The flowers scattered from above were fake, but the floral fragrance filling the city was real. That wasn't because the city had planted masses of flowers; the scent was released from streetlamps with hollow interiors.
"Those are medicinal incense lamps." The female Player who had handed them her card on the train came up behind them and explained, "There are many pharmaceutical companies in District 001. Lots of medicines extracted from plants release fragrances during processing, and they're harmless to people, so they decided to use them to fumigate the city."
"What do you think? Doesn't it smell nice?"
The female Player took a deep breath and smiled sweetly. "In other sub-districts, I get so used to not smelling this that it feels strange."
