Chapter 126 The Party and the Interlude

A New York City night, outside the island that houses the Statue of Liberty.

A group of tourists complained to the security guards blocking their way, "Hey, we've already booked tickets, why won't they let us in?"

"We apologize, everyone, but the statue of the goddess is undergoing repairs due to a sudden malfunction today, so passengers are not allowed to pass through."

The security guard said apologetically, "To compensate you for your losses, all tickets will be refunded at double the price, and if you wish, you can enter for free tomorrow."

"Okay." The other party's attitude was good, so the tourists could only nod helplessly, but they were stunned the next moment.

"Hey, didn't you say there was a fault code? Where are these people going?" Suddenly, a passenger pointed to the cruise ship in the distance and asked.

As everyone looked ahead, they saw that on the cruise ship, which was originally closed to traffic, groups of men and women dressed in different styles, numbering over a hundred, were now chatting and laughing as they boarded the cruise ship leading to the Statue of Liberty.

"I'm sorry, they are special personnel, and I cannot disclose the specifics," the security guard said apologetically.

……

The area around Flagstaff Square, beneath the Statue of Liberty, is completely different from its usual tranquil atmosphere. Barbecue stalls are set up, and men and women are sitting on blankets, turning the place into a camping spot.

Meanwhile, in the original café on the island, Bai Ye rested his right hand on his cheek out of boredom and casually sent a teleportation invitation.

In an instant, a middle-aged, refined man dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face and a long beard, suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ye.

Next to appear was a stern-faced man in a gray mandarin jacket, with clearly defined muscles visible on his forearms.

Soon, the group members who had accepted the invitation from different worlds quickly gathered in front of Bai Ye.

Stark, meanwhile, stared in astonishment as he was teleported away after accepting the invitation.

He hadn't expected that teleportation was possible within the same world. If he chose to cancel, would he be able to return directly to his original location?

As the crowd gathered, they almost immediately noticed the white-clad youth in front of them. He looked to be no more than twenty years old, with a cascade of black hair and a handsome appearance like a celestial being. His eyes held a hint of curiosity as he sized up the group.

Apart from a few waiters, there were no other staff members in the entire room.

Since Stark had already revealed his identity as a middle-aged man, the others immediately recognized the young man in front of them as Deep Blue, the group's administrator.

"What a handsome young man! Is this what a genius is like?" Master Luo took a deep breath, filled with admiration.

"I, Yue, have met Senior Shenlan and am grateful for your kindness in giving me a second chance." Yue Buqun suppressed his surprise at Shenlan's age and was the first to bow to Bai Ye.

Then others followed suit, clasping their hands in a gesture of respect.

With the voice translation feature in the chat group, there's no need to worry about not understanding the message.

"Alright, we're all group members, no need to be so formal. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be spending a lot of time together in the future," Bai Ye said, waving his hand dismissively.

Meanwhile, Kana Kimishima stared blankly at Byakuya, giving him an extremely special feeling from their first meeting.

She was born with a special sensory ability that allows her to distinguish between people and parasites.

Now, Bai Ye is just sitting here, and the feeling he gives her is as dazzling as a blazing sun.

After realizing what was happening, the girl turned her head slightly and saw through the window a huge statue in the distance, holding a torch and covered in bronze-green paint. In the night sky, the lights on the goddess's crown were shining brightly.

"Wait, is that the Statue of Liberty?" The girl rubbed her eyes in surprise.

"Yes, this gathering was arranged by a friend. He put in a lot of effort. You can wander around the island as you like," Bai Ye nodded.

"Just browsing around? I haven't tried any of these things yet." The girl was secretly surprised, but then she noticed that there were barbecue stalls and people strolling around nearby.

"There are people barbecuing and singing under this goddess statue? Are censorship standards really that lenient now?"

"Alright, stop standing here like an idiot. Let's go out for a walk first. I'll take you guys to have some fun. I've already arranged the itinerary for tonight."

As Bai Ye spoke, he waved to the distance, and soon a young man with a gentle smile jogged over from afar.

"Mr. Bai, and a few of your friends, you can just call me Willie. I'm going to show you around the various attractions in New York City."

Willie showed no surprise at the group of people dressed in different eras, treating them as ordinary tourists. And none of the passersby along the way expressed any surprise at these strangely dressed people.

"Is this the world from now on?" Uncle Nine looked around with great interest, filled with curiosity.

Willie's explanations were excellent, and he quickly led the group into the interior of the statue. After that, they would take a private cruise to tour the entire city of New York.

"Jarvis told me that Kingpin spent a fortune to book all the major tourist attractions in New York and put up banners to prevent ordinary people from visiting. You've really gone all out."

Stark followed Willie's lead, standing beside White Night and marveling that he had never seen this kind of gameplay before, and that he would try it sometime in the future.

"For a first gathering, things should be more enjoyable. Would it be awkward if a group of people just sat there silently drinking and eating, or forced conversation when there was nothing to talk about? It would be much better to have someone show them around."

Bai Ye said calmly, and Stark nodded in deep agreement. It was indeed difficult to have a conversation with people from different eras, and the scene would be too awkward.

Following the tour guide, the group first went inside the Statue of Liberty for a panoramic view, and then took a cruise ship across the sea towards downtown New York City.

The strangely dressed people and scenery along the way, so different from those in the Central Plains, astonished the ancient people.

But just as these people were getting into it, an unexpected little incident broke the rhythm.

"Hey, isn't that Mr. Bai on the TV screen?" In a restaurant in New York City, a group of people were having dinner when suddenly, Chef Luo pointed to the screen in the distance and asked.

The people present had all cultivated internal energy and possessed excellent eyesight, so they immediately looked in the direction Master Luo was pointing.

The television screen showed a group of people in front of a huge building, holding up signs that resembled Bai Ye and chanting slogans.

Of course, this scene only flashed by, and the TV program immediately switched to another channel the next second.
