Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 517 Time to wake up from the dream
"Ah, the sun is out."

Reid let out a low exclamation, and Levi looked over reflexively.

A chaotic and hazy orange halo is hidden at the intersection of the horizon like a duck egg. The faint light penetrates into the darkness of the night, blending into a thrilling blue, strange but magnificent, which makes the heart stop beating in an instant, and the mind is completely captured by this moment.

The grandeur and mystery of nature appear before our eyes, quietly yet noisily.

"Oh, damn." Levi cursed under his breath.

Ryder looked away, "What's wrong?"

Levi pulled the corner of his mouth, "We are back to reality. Alice's dream is over."

Ryder grinned.

Levi, "Well, this action is not appropriate now."

Reid lowered his head following Levi's gaze, and his elbow felt burning and piercing. He quickly retracted his elbow, stood up straight, and kept his distance.

Levi laughed dumbly, "Originally, I came here to wait for the sunrise, but now, I begin to hate the sun rising as usual."

Ryder, "Oh, the sun will be sad."

"Ha." Levi laughed again.

The world outside the window did not brighten immediately. The sun hid at the end of the horizon and quietly revealed a corner, but it did not rush out. Before the first ray of dawn completely fell, the darkness still had a short stay.

"'Time flies like a hare.'" Levi said nonsense without warning.

Ryder raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Li Wei shook his head slightly. "No. I once heard Dylan Thomas recite WH Auden's poems. He was like a cello, with a deep and magnetic voice."

"It's like, 'All the evening bells in the city, don't let time deceive you, oh, you can't conquer time, ambiguous life rushes by when you have a headache or worry, time will have its dreams, tomorrow, or today'."

After saying this, Levi himself felt a little embarrassed and looked away to the window.

Reid didn't speak immediately, seeming to be immersed in Levi's voice.

This surprised Levi a little. He turned back to look at Reid and said, "I thought you were going to joke that you never knew football players could read poetry."

Ryder raised his chin. "Don't assume they have no soul just because they're big, just like don't assume I don't speak a second language just because I'm American."

"Hahaha." Levi laughed very loudly.

Reid's eyes were full of smiles, "So we should cherish the sunrise. After all, it is the beginning of the day, a brand new beginning."

Levi nodded, "Yes, this also means that the last season has officially ended."

Reid, "There's no need to be so anxious. You still have the championship parade party. You should take a few more days to enjoy this joy. At least, make the time last longer."

Levi raised his chin slightly and asked meaningfully, "So how many days exactly?"

Ryder began counting on his fingers, "One, two, three, four. That'll be four days."

"Four days?" Levi raised the corner of his eyebrows. It perfectly matched the "four soul mates" just now. Is this a coincidence?

Ryder said seriously, "Yes, just four days."

However, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her, and she quickly shifted her gaze and looked out the window again.

In just this short period of time, the sun has broken free from its restraints and climbed onto the horizon. From the first ray of morning light to the sun rising completely, it seems like just a blink of an eye. Before you can notice it, the sunlight has already completely fallen.

Reality is here.

Levi knew he should leave, otherwise he wouldn't know who would arrive first, the fans or the paparazzi.

Looking at Reid again, Levi politely extended his right hand, "Talia..."

Ryder, "Ryder. Talia Ryder." Levi, "Nice to meet you, Talia Ryder."

Ryder, "It's a pleasure to go on this adventure down the rabbit hole with you, Mr. Mad Hatter Levi."

Levi, "Shh, it's a secret."

Ryder, "Shh."

The girl put her fingers on her lips and winked at Levi.

When Levi turned and left, his steps became brisk again, and the emptiness of a night of partying was quietly filled.

……

Exactly three days later, Kansas City held its official championship parade.

Don't underestimate this championship parade. The budget alone is more than four million US dollars.

The city hall and the team jointly undertook the championship parade, which came after a 48-year absence. Not only Kansas City, but the entire state of Missouri was excited.

In addition, nearby Nebraska, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, the home state of Levi's alma mater, all mobilized. Just like the Super Bowl, countless fans flocked to Kansas City and joined the party with the most enthusiastic and crazy attitude.

then.

Despite the economic downturn in Missouri, the city and state governments showed enthusiasm and teamed up with the team to carefully plan this championship parade.

After all, the tourism revenue and job opportunities that a parade could bring are significant, and could even be an opportunity for them to turn the situation around.

First, the city and the team planned a championship parade route that would cover the entire city, be within an appropriate length, and not affect the normal operation of the urban area.

Because Kansas City is located on the border of Missouri and Kansas, the city government also received help from Kansas to join the championship parade.

Secondly, after the parade route was determined, the entire city began to mobilize. According to subsequent statistics, Kansas City mobilized more than 800 police officers, 150 firefighters, and 200 municipal engineering personnel. The scale of the mobilization was the largest in major sports leagues in recent years.

In addition, there are basic logistical service settings, mobile toilets, and different championship celebration formations from different units and departments; there are also drinking water and simple food, etc., plus a series of logistical facilities such as ambulances, fire trucks, riot police, etc.

Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs themselves are fully prepared.

The team sent out six double-decker buses, thirty private cars, twenty celebratory floats and sixty motorcycles. All the members of the team were mobilized to join in the carnival.

According to official league statistics, the number of people who arrived in Kansas City to participate in the championship parade that day was estimated to be around 1.5 million.

In fact, the number of people who actually arrived at the scene exceeded two million, which also created the largest number of people in the championship parades of the four major sports leagues in North America and broke the historical record.

It's like the Super Bowl!
Before this, the record for championship parade was held by the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. As a densely populated area, Los Angeles once mobilized 1.3 million people to participate in the championship parade.

And now?
Kansas City, with a permanent population of less than 500,000, welcomed a super-large championship parade with more than 2 million people, breaking the record.

The popularity is evident.

There are two key reasons.

First, Alabama.

Second, the Asian community.

Simply put, Levi.

In previous years, the enthusiasm of the Asian community to participate in the championship parade was ultimately limited. Even though they occasionally joined in the fun, they were never the main force of the parade.

But in recent years, Asian communities have flocked to Kansas City from all over North America, and can be seen everywhere in the parades, becoming the main force.

Everything, all because of Levi.
