Not long after, Li Wei and his group left through the logistics department's teleportation array.
In the days that followed, news that seemed to be a rumor circulated within the college—
The vice president suffered a serious injury for some reason and needs to recuperate for a long time and cannot see anyone for the time being.
When the school's top leader had an accident, the students began to speculate. Some said he had encountered a powerful enemy outside, some said he had gone mad while practicing cultivation in seclusion, and others said that the vice dean had been partying every night and finally couldn't take it anymore and strained his back...
In any case, rumors about the vice president spread like wildfire, with various versions of the story.
In short, the incident involving the top figure has created a climate of fear within the academy, with everyone worried that hostile forces might launch an attack.
Samsara Academy, in a shady grove—
Wang Zheng tentatively asked, "Brother, should we report this to our superiors and request that they send troops..."
"Are you out of your mind?" Arthur said disdainfully. "If that person really had a problem, would they have made it public knowledge instead of covering up their disappearance? I'm sure it's a trap to lure the enemy, and they're just trying to fool an undercover agent like you."
Wang Zheng suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is. You truly deserve to be called the eldest brother."
“However, there is one thing we can definitely work on,” Arthur said thoughtfully. “According to other informants, Qi Xi and a few people named Li Wei have returned to the real world. We can’t do anything about them within the academy’s influence, but in the real world, the system’s surveillance isn’t as tight as it is here.”
"If things go well, our promotions are just around the corner..."
From the college office, Xiao Hei's screams could be faintly heard—
"Lolo, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop hitting me... Meow, my waist, ouch, my tail, Lolo, I was wrong..."
Some wild and desolate place—
A long-haired, mature woman with a gloomy face said to Xingyu, "Fifth Brother is dead."
Xingyu raised an eyebrow: "Assassinated? Go awaken Lao Wu's backup clone."
“No…” The older woman smiled sadly, “The death I’m talking about is the complete disappearance of the soul.”
"...What!?" Xingyu was shocked, losing his composure. "How is this possible? Fifth Brother is our important strategist and diviner. He usually stays in the main camp, guarded by countless powerful warriors. He can't possibly be dead!?"
"I don't know, but the fifth brother is dead. The guards all witnessed it. He suddenly turned to ashes while he was working, without even a trace left."
Xingyu's eyes flashed rapidly: "...Old Five's situation must be due to a powerful curse. Those old fogies of the End of Dharma Temple shouldn't be so desperate as to mobilize for a new force like ours."
"Among the forces opposing us, there are only a handful capable of deploying demonic spells of this caliber. They are all being held back by other old guys..."
Just as Xingyu was analyzing, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them and said calmly, "An alliance of a bunch of bugs? Their strength and potential are not bad. From now on, you will be at my service."
Upon hearing the unfriendly words from the newcomer, Xingyu sneered: "How dare you speak so arrogantly! Who do you think you are?"
"Me? The strongest human in this place."
In the real world, somewhere in the United States—
A flash of white light, and Li Wei appeared atop the torch of the Statue of Liberty, arms outstretched, shouting:
"Old Li from next door is back!"
"Are your wives ready?"

PAS: Speaking of phones around 2 yuan, which one is good? At least it shouldn't have constantly dropping Wi-Fi or lagging frequently. My current Meizu is a piece of junk; it keeps dropping the connection, and it gets laggy with every system update.
Chapter 229 Mysterious Events in New York
Standing atop the Statue of Liberty, Li Wei's shouts quickly attracted the attention of the people below, mostly blond foreigners. Seeing that Li Wei had somehow climbed up there, they exclaimed in surprise.
"What the fuck!?"
"Oh, no!"
"The big dick! The big dick! I like it!"
……
The noise from the others stirred something deep within Li Wei, and he decided to unleash his primal desires, raising his hands and shouting:
Hey everyone, let's get hyped!
"Hey my little darling, I'll make you a green hat~"
Even though Li Wei was speaking Chinese, which most people present couldn't understand, and even if they did understand, they wouldn't follow along, their bodies were miraculously affected by some force, and they involuntarily began to move in the same way as Li Wei.
Just like years ago, when he danced disco with the lions at the zoo, it was full of the flavor of ordinary people's childhood memories.
That afternoon, this major news broke in New York—
Shocking! A young Chinese man led a group in square dancing atop the Statue of Liberty!
"The Horrifying Nature of Square Dancing in China: Under the Statue of Liberty, Is This a Release of Humanity?!"
……
New York Police Department —
A foreigner, around 50 years old and wearing a police uniform, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Li, you bastard! It hasn't been long, and you're causing trouble again! Tell me, is the Statue of Liberty something you can just climb up anywhere?!"
Although he is a pure-blooded American, he speaks fluent and standard Chinese without any foreign accent. He is the elderly uncle that Qi Xi mentioned before.
Li Wei exclaimed, "But I really just climbed up there casually."
An old man's forehead creased with a dark line. "I'm not talking about ability, but atmosphere. You Chinese talk about atmosphere, can't you even look at the atmosphere? I'm starting to doubt if you're a real Chinese. To be honest, I've never seen a Chinese person as unlike a Chinese person as you. My God, I can't see any of the traditional Chinese virtues in you."
As he spoke, the old man picked up a cup of Tieguanyin tea in front of him and took a sip. After saying so much, he felt his throat was a little dry. "Look at you, what have you done since you came to New York? You were the one who jumped off the statue last time, weren't you? No need to ask. Although the people at the time didn't have time to take a picture, it was definitely you."
The old man said angrily, "Do you know how much trouble that incident caused our police? A perfectly healthy person disappeared while jumping off a building. The media went crazy, saying it was magic, witchcraft, or even that you were a messenger sent by God. I used so many connections and so much effort to settle this matter, and now you're causing trouble for me again."
"Huh? What are you doing?"
The old man, who was still complaining, saw Li Wei take out a tea set and start brewing tea. What puzzled him was that Li Wei didn't put any tea leaves in, but instead threw in a smear of dirt.
"Actually, I've wanted to tell you this for a long time: your tea-making skills are terrible. Even the muddy water I brew tastes better than yours."
The old man paused for a moment, then said, "Really?"
Although he kept lecturing Li Wei, he still had to admit Li Wei's abilities. Before he came to New York, he had heard that Li Wei had planted a five-star red flag on the White House in Washington.
Oh my god!
This is simply unimaginable. The White House is a place where, not to mention that the security forces there would never allow an ordinary person to act so recklessly, the fact that Li Wei got away scot-free afterwards is something that the old man greatly admires. If someone from out of town dared to do something like this, let alone a local resident, they probably wouldn't live to see the sun rise tomorrow.
Most remarkably, the red flag atop the White House is still flying high in the wind to this day…
Was the president at the time insane? Despite repeated questioning from the media and Congress, he remained tight-lipped until his forced resignation, at which point he uttered these words in public:
"I believe that the president's responsibility is to protect all citizens."
"And I ask myself honestly, my achievements are no less than those of any previous president."
His resignation was met with fierce criticism from the entire nation.
Then, his next one, and the one after that...
Finally, within a year, to everyone's surprise, the United States accepted the fact that a five-star red flag was displayed above the White House.
In conclusion, the old man did indeed drink a sip of the tea brewed by Li Wei.
then.
He vomited it out with a "pfft".
Li Wei asked in surprise, "You actually believe this kind of nonsense?"
"...Li, if you don't stay in the police station for the full ten days this time, I won't let you out!" the old man roared.
Li Wei tapped his ear and said, "Come on, you'll take back what you're saying later, so why waste your breath?"
The old man almost died of anger.
However, Li Wei did not intend to continue teasing the old man. In fact, although the old man was a foreigner, he was a very good person and admired Chinese culture. Even in the face of some disputes, he would tend to side with the Chinese.
In Chinese culture, what he admires most is kung fu. Basically, every time he interacts with Chinese people, he will ask them curiously if they know kung fu.
Until he met Li Wei.
From then on, he never spoke of it again.
"Alright, you've rested enough here. You can leave whenever you want. I've been a bit too busy lately. There have been quite a few mysterious disappearances in the past month or so. We're still investigating, but we don't have any leads yet."
Li Wei shrugged and said, "There's probably a dirty deal behind the disappearance."
The old man said speechlessly, "This is no joke. The situation is really serious. So far, we have only found one common point, which is that they were all using electronic devices such as computers or mobile phones at the time."
"However, this did little to help the case, because most people seemed to vanish into thin air from their homes, and even the community's security cameras couldn't detect any signs of them leaving."
At this point, the old man gave Li Wei a meaningful look, "Just like the rumors about you jumping off the Statue of Liberty."
"Come on, can those shut-ins compare to me? I dare to jump off a building from a hundred meters high, do they dare?" Li Wei curled his lip and said, "If they don't even have the courage to jump off a building, what's the point of them being alive?"
Feeling he couldn't get any more information out of Li Wei, the old man gave up. Actually, he was just asking tentatively; he didn't really think Li Wei was involved. After all, Li Wei might be amazing, but he wouldn't target males. If it was just a girl who had gone missing, then he would have to seriously suspect Li Wei.
"By the way, are you going back to China now? Do you want me to book a plane ticket for you?" the old man asked before leaving.
Li Wei waved his hand, "No need, I don't plan to fly back this time. I want to take the opportunity to see some friends I haven't seen in a long time who live underwater."

PPPPP: Laziness is a disease, how to cure it...?
Speaking of the Nubia Z17, has anyone used it and found it good...?
I'm planning to choose between the Honor 9 and Z17 for my phone. A friend told me that the Mi 6 has serious Wi-Fi disconnection issues.
Chapter 230 Many Teenagers on the Road
After bidding farewell to old age, Li Wei did not leave New York immediately. As a place where he spent his youthful days, it was filled with many wonderful memories.
Putting aside the memories themselves, he left a deep impression on many people here, such as the mayor and several retired presidents.
Li Wei is a loyal and responsible person. Since the other party values him so much that she is overjoyed and trembles with excitement every time they meet, he should reciprocate her feelings. If he is too busy, he should visit her more often when he is bored.
Humans aren't plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? Who could imagine that behind Li Wei's seemingly madness lies such kindness and love?
Sure enough, after Li Wei visited them, they either got so excited that they smashed antiques worth millions, or they couldn't wait to have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Wei, skillfully shooing their wives and daughters out of their homes. This made Li Wei sigh inwardly:
Although I am in a foreign land, I feel at home!
For a full two weeks, Li Wei visited friends in New York. Although he repeatedly emphasized that he did not want to waste his friends' money, they all said that his home was simple and wanted to help him book a large VIP room outside.
So Li Wei has been spending these days in the presidential suite in New York. Today he was preparing to leave, and he was using his computer when suddenly he felt something in his spatial backpack vibrate.
"Ok?"
Noticing this, Li Wei took the item out of his backpack. It was a blood-red parchment scroll, the very thing that Li Wei and Qi Xi had found at a stall outside the university in their future state. It was said to bring good luck.
"This posture, this state..."
Li Wei had a bold idea in mind, and he voiced it to himself:
"I understand, Aladdin is about to pop out!"
Li Wei's heart tightened immediately. Having once been a summoned creature of the Holy Grail, he knew all too well that those summoned usually demanded that he grant them ten thousand wishes, which was utterly shameless, because that's exactly what he had done back then.
Naturally, those people couldn't fulfill Li Wei's ten thousand wishes, so as the price of the contract, they had to endure Li Wei's wrath and be reduced to ashes.
Thinking about it, Li Wei didn't want to cause any trouble right now. He needed to go back to China to find Qi Xi first. So Li Wei rolled up the parchment again and took out a hemp rope and wrapped it tightly around several times.
"Done!" Li Wei clapped his hands.
Just as Li Wei was trying to calm the parchment scroll down, a letter that was supposed to be sent to Li Wei's computer suddenly got lost...
Meanwhile, in a mysterious space elsewhere, a surprised and doubtful voice rang out at the same time:
"What the heck? The system can have a bad signal?"
However, he didn't think much of it. After all, it would be too paranoid to scrutinize everything, so he treated it as an occasional accident.
After dealing with the parchment scroll that seemed to be suffering from ADHD, Li Wei pondered his way home. He took out a map and casually drew a large line with his brush. Years later, a team of archaeologists discovered the ninth and tenth wonders of the world...
