People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

Chapter 448 Trash Talk and Handshake (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Above the Mellon Foundation building, Levi glanced at Elizabeth through the window before turning and flying away.

It wasn't that he didn't want to jump back using spatial jump.

Instead, he discovered a problem.

He did not set the coordinates to return.

"Good heavens," Li Wei muttered to himself, "This is really only for running away, it's like there's no turning back."

Fortunately, this was just a test, and only within New York City; flying back would only take a few minutes.

If he were to teleport to another continent without a passport or entry/exit records, he would be in real trouble.

With his current flight speed and endurance, it would take him at least several days to fly back to New York from other continents. If he were to completely disappear by then, that would be quite a sight.

As he flew back, Li Wei casually stuffed the ballpoint pen he had just taken from the pen holder on Elizabeth's table into his pocket.

This is what he chose to accomplish his mission: to steal an item from the nobleman.

As expected, the ballpoint pen was also recognized by the system.

You have completed the quest: Introduction to the Arcane Mage.

Stealing an item from a queen's study is incredibly audacious.

You completely disregarded the royal city's magic circle, the court's mages, and the Iron Church.

Even the most senior occultists would consider this behavior tantamount to suicide.

You have gained the approval of the [Space Necklace]

You have gained 0.5 free attribute points.

When Li Wei saw the mission panel high in the sky, he couldn't help but laugh.

He then put all his free attribute points into Agility.

Agility 11.0 - Agility 12.0

Suddenly, Li Wei felt his body become lighter, and his flight speed increased dramatically!

In terms of physical perception, his speed has indeed increased from 540 km/h to 810 km/h!

He has now far surpassed the limits of all land-based mechanical engineering vehicles, reaching a level comparable to that of airplanes.

Fortunately, Li Wei now possesses the [Power of the Sky], and his body and the clothes he wears are treated as a whole, enveloped by the force field.

Otherwise, at such high speeds, his clothes would probably be torn to shreds after only a few wears.

Having reserved the 0.5 free attribute points from the new mission reward, Li Wei felt there wasn't much to add for the time being. He'd wait until he had a full set before adding them.

The end of August slipped away unnoticed.

After more than two weeks of emergency repairs and disaster relief, traffic in most parts of New York has returned to normal, and major organizations have resumed in-person work and normal commuting.

In the first week after the start of September, the highly anticipated new NFL season officially began.

As expected, what Li Wei said in a previous interview caused a huge uproar in the entire sports world. The overall search volume for NFL-related topics, the attention for the new season, and searches for topics related to Li Wei all rose to a new level.

Even LW sports drink sales saw a small increase after a slow decline.

Online, discussions and data comparisons between Levi and Irving Cross are gaining popularity day by day, to the point where fans of the two sides are starting to argue.

The NFL will certainly not miss this opportunity to capture this traffic.

Just two weeks after Levi's interview, they urgently started a friendly match between the New York Giants and the Indianapolis Colts before the official start of the season.

The venue for the competition was none other than the Metropolitan Life Stadium in New York.

A new segment has been added where Rewi, who was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame, will shake hands on behalf of the Giants with Colts' superstar rookie Irving Cross.

This was also the first time the two met in person.

This gimmick alone caused tickets for this friendly match to be resold for starting at $300.

Levi and John Mara, escorted by bodyguards, assistants, and photographers, walked step by step through the players' tunnel.

Outside the players' tunnel, the faint sounds of shouts and music could be heard, the drumbeats dancing in people's hearts, making everyone except Li Wei tremble.

"If you ask me," Levi complained to John Mara, "I should get a cut of the winnings from this game."

"What?" Even with his headset on, John Mara couldn't hear what Levi was saying; the noise was just too loud.

"It's nothing," Li Wei whispered in his ear, "Can your body handle it?"

"I'm fine," John Mara's eyes gleamed in the dimly lit players' tunnel. "This is a moment I never dared to imagine last month!"

Although his steps were slow, they were very firm. He didn't need anyone's help or to stop and wait for him. His mental state was much better than before.

At the end of the players' tunnel, light streamed down.

The moment Levi and John Mara walked out of the tunnel side by side, the roar of more than 82000 people at the Metropolitan Life Stadium almost lifted the ceiling.

"King! King! King!"

'

The giant screen displayed a full recap of the Giants' incredible undefeated championship run last season, with the final frame showing Levi lifting the Lombardi Trophy.

As is customary, the team that won the championship last season needs to raise its championship flag in the stadium.

Levi and John Mara each held one end of the rope, and under the watchful eyes of the entire stadium, they slowly raised the blue flag bearing the Giants' logo and the words "Super Bowl Champion."

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, John Mara quietly asked him, "Are you really not coming back to play?"

Li Wei smiled and waved his hand: "Really, we're not fighting anymore."

After the flag-raising ceremony, as arranged by the alliance, the main event of the day will begin.

Handshake before the match.

Li Wei stood on the Giants logo in midfield, waiting for the opponent to come over.

The new management of the Colts led the way, followed by several executives in suits who seemed out of place in the world of sports.

Leading the way was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who had a very refined and scholarly air.

John Mara snorted when he saw him and said into his headset, "David Sterling, Senior Vice President of Eli Lilly," his headset was connected to Levi's, "one of the major shareholders of Prometheus Life Sciences, the financial backer of the Colts. He told me before that he wanted to buy your data analysis reports on the condition that I could provide them with their new drug."

Levi and David Sterling exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.

David Sterling smiled at Levy, then warmly shook hands with John Mara: "Mr. Mara, it's been a long time," he said. "It's quite unexpected to see you looking so radiant today."

"You didn't expect that, did you, David Sterling?" John Mara said casually, "I didn't accept your help, but I still recovered."

David Sterling's smile remained unchanged: "This was certainly unexpected, but ultimately we achieved our goals, didn't we?"

"You look pretty good, and we at Eli Lilly have become major shareholders in the Colts and sponsor more than 10 NFL teams," he said, looking up at the Giants flag rising in the air. "Nothing has changed."

John Mara scoffed, "Let competitive sports decide what happens."

David Sterling glanced at Levi, then at John Mara, and said slowly, "Oh, in that case, I shall give a grand welcome to our new captain, the super rookie we discovered this year, Irving Cross."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside, and even the managers behind him stepped aside to make way for his burly figure.

Irving Cross looks a size bigger than he does on TV.

Standing at 6.3 feet (1.92m) tall and weighing nearly 110 kilograms, his broad shoulders suggest he could easily envelop Levi entirely.

In terms of weight alone, he is 20 kilograms heavier than Li Wei.

But compared to the expressionless Li Wei, he looked like a bomb about to explode.

Li Wei's eyesight allowed him to clearly see the bulging veins on both sides of his neck and the abnormal throbbing frequency of the blue veins on his temples.

His heart beats much faster than the average person's.

Levi and Irving Cross walked to the center, at which point the surrounding photographers caught up, turned on their microphones, and began broadcasting simultaneously.

"Hello," Cross looked down at Levi, extended his right hand, and said loudly, "A Hall of Fame legend."

Levi ignored him, while Owen Cross clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook.

In his view, Li Wei's appearance clearly showed that he was afraid of him.

"What's going on? Super Bowl champions, huh? The first winning streak in history, huh?" He got more and more excited as he spoke. "If you ask me, retiring was a really wise choice, because Irving Cross is here!"

The way he looked at Li Wei was as if he were looking at someone who was destined to be his defeated opponent, and his voice was full of mockery.

This statement drew dissatisfaction and boos from the fans at the scene.

"Tch," Anya said disapprovingly at her Riverdale home, "Like a gorilla, so arrogant?"

Elizabeth was watching TV at home when she saw this scene and frowned.

"Wait a minute," Don Quixote told the real estate agent who was trying to sell him the product to stop, picked up his phone and walked aside. "I have something to do right now."

"Check his background," Kim Ha-eun said to the PR director, frowning. "Something's not right with him. Why is he so hostile towards the boss?"

In the center of the arena, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Levi extended his hand and shook hands with Cross.

Cross's eyes flashed with disdain, then his forearm veins suddenly bulged as he exerted all his strength.

But Levi's hand remained motionless. Cross felt as if he were holding a rubber tire, which initially deformed his hand slightly, but he could no longer maintain the grip.

When he exerted more force, Cross felt as if he were holding a solid steel pillar rather than a human hand.

Not right.

Cross's heart skipped a beat; a sense of danger surged within him, and he instinctively wanted to pull his hand back.

But he found that his idea failed; Li Wei's hand closed the moment he tried to pull away.

Cross felt as if his hand had been placed on the ground and then a heavy road roller had run over it.
