Yu Zhenzhen was an utterly ordinary bus driver. If there was anything special about her, it was her ten-year record of "no violations, no complaints, no accidents."
At the start of her second decade, Yu Zhenzhen got a new car and, while she was at it, a new world.
Several car commercials on the television showed new hovercars developed by various corporations.
Aunties chatting by the roadside opened their floating-image phones to share their latest photos.
A naughty little kid came charging toward her on a low-hover skateboard.
Yu Zhenzhen calmly stepped aside, holding a license that qualified her in driving, passenger transport, and vehicle repair, and resolved to keep driving buses!
System: Beep! Interstellar Transport System at your service! This is your third reminder. Please complete the prerequisite task as soon as possible: own any kind of transportation vehicle. Recommended options: interstellar cargo ships, planetary tour ships...
Yu Zhenzhen: All right, submitting the task.
System: Submitting task now. Scanning information... Beep beep beep! Transportation vehicle detected... Updating information... A bus?!
Yu Zhenzhen: What's wrong with that? A bus is a vehicle for transportation too.

Auntie Wang, who always got carsick the moment she boarded, nervously stepped onto this newly appeared bus, picked a seat, and closed her eyes to rest.
After a while, without experiencing her usual motion sickness, she hesitantly asked, "Driver, haven't we left yet?"
Yu Zhenzhen: "Auntie, we're already on the road."
From then on, Auntie Wang praised her to everyone she met: "As you'd expect from someone trained to pilot an interstellar spaceship! She can even drive a bus in a way that keeps me from getting carsick!"

Yu Zhenzhen drove into the city for her vehicle inspection. On the highway, she came across an accident. The ambulance was still on its way, and a passing emergency physician was anxiously wishing they had medical equipment.
Yu Zhenzhen pulled over, provided a first-aid kit, then hauled a stretcher out of the bus, followed by a ventilator, cardiac monitor, defibrillator, oxygen tank...
In the end, the injured person was saved from danger, and the incident became a trending topic.
Netizens: Why does a bus have all this stuff?!
*
On a livestream, the host was talking about the history of the old street when an old building behind them suddenly caught fire. The situation was critical!
Suddenly, a bus came charging through the fleeing crowd!
Netizen 1: What is this driver doing?! Making a mess at a time like this?
Netizen 2: Why does this bus have a huge fire hose?! Wait, why does it have a ladder truck too?!
Netizen 3: It's the "Tianzhen" bus? Then it's fine.
Later, someone asked Yu Zhenzhen: "Why did you decide to drive a bus?"
Yu Zhenzhen, very seriously: "Because driving a bus can save the world."
Netizen: ?
Reader's guide:
1. Ensemble cast. The story mainly follows passengers' everyday bus rides, plus a few other daily-life events related to the plot.
2. There is a male lead, but not much romance.
3. Tons of fictional worldbuilding; please don't nitpick the details.
P.S. The star system where the protagonist lives has only recently begun contact with other star systems, so the setting is a semi-interstellar era, by the author's own worldbuilding. As a result, buses and other "outdated" things still exist.
Completed novel:
"Selling Card Sleeves in a Card World" - The socialist card-world card-sleeve maker is open for business~

Theme: Love what you do, whatever your job
So, the space storm brought Zhenzhen back? Together with Comrade Xiao Jiang? Then meet the parents?
Oh my god, it's really going to end. I feel like the talent behind it has just appeared, and there's not much development in the high-definition line, and then it's going to end.
Good guy, why don't you go with the same person when you go home?
Are you kidnapping a son-in-law who comes to visit you and taking them back together? [Smirk]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it feels like the main text has just begun!! Why is it gone?!
I feel like it would be good to write him as a quick time traveler, "Driving a Bus in Various Worlds" hahahahahahaha
I thought that the bus would turn into a floating car after level 10, and then it would be on the right track, and then I would start exploring space cracks, spiritual power and so on...
It feels like it's over as soon as it begins
Maybe it's because the magic wand's appearance is too bizarre, making people forget that it's related to the main plot.
Especially the chapters. There were more than 00 chapters at the beginning. I thought I would write thousands of chapters, but it turned out to be 300,000 words. Author, you have no heart
