New York City at night, outside the island that hosts the Statue of Liberty.
A group of tourists looked at the security guards standing in front of them and complained, "Hey, we've already reserved tickets, why aren't you letting us in?"
"I'm very sorry, dear tourists, the statue of the goddess suddenly broke down today and needs to be repaired, so passengers are not allowed to pass through."
The security guard said apologetically, "To compensate for your loss, all tickets will be refunded at double the price, and if you are willing, you can go in for free tomorrow."
"Okay." The other party's attitude was good, so the tourists could only nod helplessly, but the next moment they were stunned.
"Hey, aren't you talking about the fault code? Where are these people going?" Suddenly, a passenger pointed at the cruise ship in the distance and said.
When everyone looked over, they saw a group of over a hundred men and women in different clothes, talking and laughing, walking onto the cruise ship that was originally prohibited from passing, heading for the Statue of Liberty.
"I'm sorry, they are special personnel, and the specific details cannot be disclosed," the security guard apologized.
…
The Flagpole Square under the Statue of Liberty is completely different from the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the past. Barbecue stalls are set up there, and men and women sit on the ground with blankets, turning this place into a camping site in the wild.
In the original cafe on the island, Bai Ye rested his right hand on his cheek boredly and casually sent a teleportation invitation.
In an instant, a middle-aged elegant man in a green shirt, with a handsome face and five long strands of beard under his chin suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ye.
Next appeared a resolute, square-faced man in a grey jacket, with obvious muscle lines visible on his forearms.
Soon, group members who accepted the invitation from different worlds quickly gathered in front of Bai Ye.
Stark was surprised to see himself being teleported directly after accepting the invitation.
He didn't expect that he could teleport to the same world. If he canceled it, could he return to the original place? As the crowd gathered, they almost immediately noticed the young man in white in front of them. He was only in his twenties, with black hair like a waterfall, handsome as a god, and looked at them with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
There were no other extra staff in the entire room except a few waiters.
In addition, Stark had already revealed his identity as a middle-aged uncle, so the others immediately recognized that the young man in front of them was Shenlan, the administrator of the group.
"What a handsome boy! Is this a genius?" Master Luo took a deep breath, feeling deeply moved.
"Yue Buqun greets Senior Shenlan and thanks him for giving me a new life." Yue Buqun suppressed his surprise at Shenlan's age and was the first to salute Bai Ye.
Then the others followed suit and saluted with their fists clasped.
With voice translation in the chat group, you don’t have to worry about not understanding what is being said.
“Okay, we’re all group members, there’s no need to be so formal. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll be getting along for a long time in the future.” Bai Ye waved his hand indifferently.
On the side, Kana Kimishima stared at Bai Ye in a daze. He had an extremely special feeling when he first met him.
She was born with a special perception ability that allows her to distinguish between humans and parasitic beasts.
After she reacted, the girl tilted her head slightly and saw through the window a huge bronze-green statue holding a torch in the distance. In the night sky, the light on the goddess' crown was shining brightly.
"Wait, is that the Statue of Liberty?" The girl rubbed her eyes in surprise.
"Well, this party was arranged by a friend, and he put in a lot of effort. You can just wander around the island." Bai Ye nodded.
"Just strolling around? I haven't played before." The girl was secretly surprised, but then she found that there were barbecue stalls and passers-by walking on the street nearby.
'There are people barbecuing and singing under this goddess statue? Is the censorship so lax now?'
"Okay, don't just stand here like an idiot. Let's go out for a walk first. I'll just take you guys out for some fun. I've already arranged everything for tonight."
Bai Ye waved towards the distance as he spoke, and soon a young man with a gentle smile trotted over from the distance.
"Mr. Bai and a few of Mr. Bai's friends, you can just call me Willy. Next, I will take you to visit various attractions in New York City."
Willy was not surprised at all by the people who were dressed in clothes from different eras. He treated them as ordinary tourists. Passers-by along the way did not express any surprise at these people in strange costumes.
"Is this the world of the future?" Uncle Jiu looked around with great interest and was filled with curiosity about everything.
Willy's explanation was very good, and he quickly led the group all the way to the interior of the statue. After that, they took a private cruise to tour the entire New York City.
"I heard from Jarvis that Kingpin spent a huge sum of money to book all the famous attractions in New York, and put up banners to block ordinary people from visiting. You are really generous."
Stark followed Willy's introduction and stood beside Bai Ye, sighing that he had never seen this kind of play before and he would try it once if he had the chance in the future.
"It's the first time to have a party, so we have to be happy. Are we going to have to drink and eat in silence? Or have to talk about nothing? That would be too awkward. It would be better to find someone to take them around."
Bai Ye said lightly, and Stark nodded in agreement. It was indeed difficult to communicate with these people from different eras, and the scene would be too awkward.
Following the tour guide, they first went into the Statue of Liberty to look inside, and then took a cruise across the sea and headed towards the city center of New York City.
The ancients were amazed by the strange costumes, future people and scenery on the road that were different from those in the Central Plains.
But soon when these people were immersed in it, an unexpected episode interrupted the rhythm.
"Hey, isn't that Mr. Bai up there?" In a restaurant in New York City, several people were enjoying dinner. Suddenly, Master Luo pointed sharply at the picture on the TV in the distance.
Several people present had cultivated internal strength and had excellent eyesight. They immediately looked in the direction Master Luo pointed.
The TV screen showed a group of people in front of a huge building, holding up signs with Bai Ye's face on them and shouting.
Of course, this picture only flashed for a moment, and the next second the TV program immediately jumped to other channels.
