I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 392 I Love to Tell the Truth (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Hearing a somewhat familiar shout coming from the roadside, Wayne raised an eyebrow and turned to look.

There was a skinny, short-haired man sitting on the curb, holding a white plastic lunchbox and taking pictures of a phone placed on the ground.

"This is rice, hummus, a cold chicken wing, and a bottle of Dr Pepper. Ah, that's today's supplies."

The man's nose was slightly red, clearly indicating he had a cold. As he rummaged through the contents of his lunchbox with a fork, he said to the camera, "Today's food is so-so, guys. I'm telling you, since Trump came to power, these welfare supplies have been getting worse and worse. We can't even find anything good while hunting in the wild, even though the old lady paid for it, right?"

I love telling the truth.

Wayne nodded slightly as he watched the University of Tokyo student rummaging through his lunchbox.

This is none other than a well-known Los Angeles East Coast University internet celebrity, millionaire, begging performance artist, direct descendant of Karl Lagerfeld, honest man who loves to tell the truth, and lecturer.

Speaking of which, the lecturer started his online presence by begging in the US, pioneering the American begging scene and becoming quite popular for a few years.

Back when Wayne was at East University in his previous life, he watched a lot of his videos.

After all, there hadn't been a new East-West kitchen debate back then, and many people still viewed America through a filter. So the speaker's street begging approach, relying on novelty and information asymmetry, attracted a lot of attention and was very popular.

In fact, the lecturer's shameless, lazy, and opportunistic spirit is the quintessential American spirit, perfectly embodying Social Darwinism.

Just then, the lecturer, who was eating, looked up and suddenly saw Wayne, and was taken aback.

Then, pointing at Wayne with a look of curiosity, he said in broken English, "Sir, you are—you are that internet celebrity! Baby formula! I know you!"

He looked at Wayne with a surprised expression and said in English, "You, Seattle, what, Los Angeles? God bless you!"

Hearing the other person's broken English, Wayne smiled slightly and said in Chinese, "Hello, lecturer."

The lecturer was taken aback, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Hey, you—you can speak Chinese? That's great! How come your English is even more fluent than mine?"

As he spoke, he grabbed his phone, walked over to Wayne as if they were old friends, pointed the screen at Wayne, and said in the live stream: "Brothers, I met an American internet celebrity today, that Mr. Bruce Wayne, who shares the same name as Batman—"

"You might not know this at Dongda University, but this Mr. Wayne is quite a little legend. Like that time when a female internet celebrity pretended to be a single mother and asked a church for baby formula, and in that white evangelical church, only this Mr. Wayne gave it to her—"

"Now many people online call him the last conscience of white people, and he's considered a junior in our online celebrity circle. But it's said that he used to be a child star in Hollywood, and later, like the lecturer, he started this street begging performance art."

"But I suspect he's either on drugs or got scammed. I like to tell the truth."

As he spoke, the lecturer looked at Wayne and said with a big smile, "Brother Wayne, say hello to the guys in the live stream."

Wayne smiled slightly, waved at the lecturer's phone camera, and said, "Friends in the live stream, I'm Wayne. Welcome to follow my social media accounts. I love to tell the truth."

As soon as these words were spoken, the lecturer's live stream chat exploded, with lines of comments pouring in: "Holy crap, how come this American's Chinese is so fluent? It even has a bit of a regional accent, and he knows how to use the lecturer's jokes."

"The lecturer is quite something. He's managed to get on the good side of foreigners. Look at his black hair and black eyes, he's a true Roman. They're even willing to raise a flag for him."

""

"Wait, isn't Wayne in Seattle? How come he's begging in Los Angeles?"

"I heard he's some kind of saint in Seattle, but I guess he's gotten tired of the same old thing and is looking to switch gears. That's how all influencers are, right? This lecturer used to go hiking and racing cars too. Stick to your core audience, bro."

"We definitely need to pay attention to this. Foreigners making a fool of themselves by ordering foreign food, we should really observe this closely."

"Holy crap, this is Jack Benjamin Butler! I used to download his 'Golden Childhood' from Renren Video. How did he end up like this?"

'

'

The live stream chat was flooded with comments, all expressing their astonishment at Wayne's fluent Chinese.

The key point is that the other party even knows how to use internet memes.

"You also have a social media account?" the lecturer asked in surprise.

Recently, it seems that people are getting a bit tired of live-streaming begging, and the traffic has started to decline slowly. Originally, I wanted to use the other party to boost the popularity of my live stream, but I didn't expect that the other party would directly steal my traffic!

However, he was a rather straightforward person, so he just grinned and didn't say anything more. Then he said to the camera, "Brothers, help my brother Wayne out of his way, let him experience what a populous country is like, and give the old man some face."

He also knew that Wayne had a lot of fans in the United States, and it was uncertain who would gain whose fans after the live stream clips were released.

Furthermore, attention is not something that can be quantified, and there may even be a cumulative effect.

After chatting with the camera for a few more minutes, the lecturer casually gave the not-so-appetizing lunchbox to a homeless man who hadn't eaten. He then ended the live stream and asked Wayne, "Brother, I saw online that you're some kind of street saint in Seattle, some kind of church elder? How come you're in Los Angeles?"

Before Wayne could answer, the lecturer cleverly changed the subject: "But since you're here, make the best of it. I know this place well. What do you want to do here? I can be your guide."

Wayne smiled slightly and said, "This is the poorest street in Los Angeles, so of course I'm going to stay here and be homeless."

Hearing this, the instructor frowned and looked Wayne up and down, saying, "Brother, you're on the wandering track? To be honest, I'm the granddaddy of this track. The internet environment isn't what it used to be. We've passed the hype phase. My internet traffic is much lower now."

He has completely turned Wayne into an internet celebrity who chases traffic.

Otherwise, why would a church elder and former Hollywood star go to the poor streets of Los Angeles to help the homeless?

Even old Washington wouldn't agree.

However, out of goodwill, the lecturer decided to offer a few words of advice, continuing, "Also, your outfit doesn't quite fit the street vibe here. You're dressed too neatly, and since you're kind of handsome, you're likely to attract attention, especially from those burly Black and Latino bros—they love your style!"

"You know what a donut is, right? Old Mexican was stuffed with cream puffs on the way to the factory, and now he's a bit mentally unstable, constantly saying he wants to use an air-to-ground missile to guide people—"

"So I suggest you—" the lecturer said, lifting his flip-flop leg to reveal a layer of grime-covered armor, "wear a layer of armor like me, make yourself look more street-smart, that way no one will eat you, otherwise tonight a few big guys might come and mess with you, brother."

As he spoke, the lecturer's eyes showed lingering fear, clearly recalling some dangerous past events.

Wayne smiled slightly and said, "Thanks for the reminder, brother."

He then extended his hand to the lecturer in front of him and shook hands with him.

You seem to have a bit of a cold —

As he spoke, Wayne instantly activated the [Basic Witch Doctor] skill.

Immediately, a warm energy flowed from Wayne's palm into the lecturer's body, directly reaching his respiratory tract.

The lecturer felt a sudden clarity; his stuffy nose and headache vanished in the blink of an eye. He stared wide-eyed at Wayne, exclaiming, "Holy crap!"
