As Bai Ye finished speaking, Kingpin immediately shouted, "Applause, you understand!"
The next moment, loud applause filled the entire venue, and everyone spontaneously clapped excitedly.
In the live stream, phrases like "May Bai Gong live forever" were flooding the chat and comments.
After the applause subsided, Kim Jong-un spoke up, saying, "The next event will be a book signing session. All major bookstores across the country have already started selling the books. Viewers who watched the live stream and are interested in purchasing can do so now."
"And everyone present can buy it directly on the spot. The price is $15 per book, and each person is limited to one book."
"Furthermore, to save time at the book signing, every book sold on-site is a collector's edition personally signed by Mr. Bai beforehand."
As Kingpin spoke, the door beside him opened, and two bodyguards pushed in a large stack of hundreds of books. The celebrities immediately got up from their seats, stepped forward, and took out their bank cards or cash to buy them.
Some people, in an effort to be efficient, would simply drop off a hundred dollars, say "keep the change," pick up the book, and leave.
Looking at the books in their hands, which weren't particularly expensive, these people suppressed their excitement and decided to read them when they got back.
"There's no need for you to leave. We've prepared a cocktail party on the third floor. Those who are interested, please go up to the third floor," Kingpin said.
Out of respect for Bai Ye, most people did not leave immediately, but agreed to Kingpin's suggestion and walked up to the third floor with their books in their hands.
Bai Ye was about to follow them down, but the next moment a mechanical voice sounded in his ear:
"You have been unbanned from the chat group."
"What's going on?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment, then a mechanical voice sounded: "You have a message to check."
Bai Ye immediately opened the chat group he hadn't checked in almost half a month and immediately saw the private chat interface, a message from the Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal.
[Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal]: I'm sorry, brother. I wronged you before. I apologize to you here.
[Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal]: Look, can we reconcile? After all, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester.
'Heh!' Bai Ye revealed a disdainful smile.
At this moment, a blue label representing level 3 is displayed in the level column of the White Night chat group.
Since this guy is starting to panic, it proves that my previous guess was correct. His strength is just like what the alias [Crimson] showed, at most only level 4.
Too lazy to argue with the other party in private, Bai Ye sent two messages directly in the chat group.
[Deep Blue]: @GentlemanSword, thank you for your "Purple Cloud Divine Skill," it was very helpful to me.
【Deep Blue】: @Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal, I've been harassing your mother and playing with her silence rules. Don't let me catch this charlatan, or I'll make sure you fly away!
He tried to send more messages, but the message displayed the message: "Sorry, you have been banned by the administrator [Omniscient and Omnipotent Immortal]!"
Bai Ye smiled indifferently. Now that he had the power, he could live well without relying on chat groups. Why bother with pretense? He could just curse them out.
If we become stronger in the future, we can consider how to crush the opponent's dog head.
At this moment, although the omniscient and omnipotent immortal immediately deleted the comment, Bai Ye's words had already been seen by many people in the chat group.
Inside the workshop at the foot of Mount Hua, Yue Buqun, who was inspecting his men's gunpowder refining, stared in astonishment at the message from Deep Blue Hair, who had been lurking in the shadows.
He was very impressed with Deep Blue; his strength was like a rocket, reaching level 3 in just two months, while he was still only hovering around level 1.
'But what exactly does this mean? A silencing? So, before this, wasn't Shenlan unwilling to speak?' Yue Buqun wondered in surprise.
He had also found it strange before; even someone who was indifferent to fame and fortune couldn't possibly remain completely silent. Now, perhaps he has a good answer.
This speculation wasn't just in Yue Buqun's mind; other group members who witnessed this scene also had their own thoughts.
Leaving aside how clumsy and disorganized the explanations were in the chat group, at the real-life party, Stephen Hawking, now back to normal, was walking up with a glass of wine, his face full of gratitude, ready to toast Bai Ye.
Sorry, there are only three chapters today.
Chapter 82 The Chaos Offline
"Mr. Bai, no matter what, I must express my sincere gratitude to you."
At the banquet on the third floor, Hawking held a wine glass in his hand and said with deep gratitude, "I thought I would never be able to stand up again in this life. You have given me a second life. I must toast you no matter what."
"Stephen Hawking stood up and toasted me... How could I have such a dream?"
Bai Ye shook his head somewhat absurdly, then picked up a bottle of cola from the side and poured himself a glass: "I don't like drinking alcohol, so I'll use this instead."
As he spoke, Bai Ye picked up the glass filled with cola and gestured towards it gently, then took a small sip, while Hawking downed his drink in one gulp.
After dealing with Hawking, everyone at the banquet took turns trying to chat with Bai Ye.
"Kid, why didn't you tell me about internal energy earlier?" Ross leaned closer and said, "You'll have time to come out and have dinner with me tonight, right?"
"No, I'm going to the movies with my girlfriend tonight too," Bai Ye said with a smile.
"Damn it, this is the fourth or fifth time already. You wait, I didn't bring my daughter today, otherwise you would definitely have agreed," Ross said with a frustrated expression.
"Haha, we'll talk about that later." Bai Ye chuckled and replied casually, glancing at Professor X who was pushing his wheelchair up: "How did you feel about today's book signing?"
“You will usher in a new era,” Professor X said, somewhat moved.
"Did I usher in an era?" Bai Ye replied noncommittally, "Perhaps my very existence represents an era."
Professor X's gaze was fixed on Bai Ye; at that moment, he truly saw in Bai Ye the hope for reconciliation between mutants and humans.
At that moment, an elderly man in his eighties, with a face full of wrinkles, walked up with a cane and said, "Mr. Bai, may I bother you for a moment?"
"Oh, is there a problem with Mr. Theoff?" Bai Ye asked, recognizing the old man as one of the top 100 richest people in the world.
"As you know, I'm not old enough to live much longer, and I might leave this world tomorrow," Theoff said, feigning misery despite his advanced age. "Your internal energy is so miraculous that I need someone to pass it on to me as soon as possible in order to survive."
"You previously mentioned that the internal energy vessel that was passed on to Hawking still contained four hundred years of true energy. Could you please give me one hundred years of that energy first? I'm willing to pay for it," Theoff pleaded.
Theoff's words struck a chord with many people. No one knows whether tomorrow or death will come first, and in order to cope with the risks, it is best to acquire internal energy as early as possible.
"Is that so?" Bai Ye looked troubled. "I personally have no interest in money. You should talk to Wilson. He's the one who handles matters related to internal energy."
"Thank you for letting me know. I'll go find Mr. Wilson right away." After saying that, Theoff immediately walked towards Kingpin, taking away a large group of people who wanted to obtain internal energy from White Night.
Watching those people leave, Bai Ye knew that Kingpin had definitely made a fortune tonight.
Internal energy may become saturated in the future, but in the first ten or twenty years, it will be an extremely scarce resource because not everyone is willing to sell their internal energy.
In the supply and demand relationship of a free market, if there is a certain resource necessary for survival that is only enough for 99% of the population, then the price of that resource will soon inflate to the point that the bottom 1% of the population can no longer afford it.
Even if it eventually becomes saturated and internal energy becomes as commonplace as mobile phones and computers, he, as the creator of internal energy, can still become a figure recorded in textbooks.
The desires of countless people throughout history to be remembered in history and to be as wealthy as a nation were achieved by Bai Ye in just one night.
But this was far from enough for Bai Ye; his desires went far beyond that, he wanted everything.
The shadow cast by his parents' death and the sense of crisis he felt while working for Uncle Li in the underworld left a deep mark on Bai Ye's heart.
At that moment, he made up his mind that he would live a good life, even if it meant stealing, cheating, or robbing, and continuing to enjoy himself at the expense of others.
Even though everything is getting better now, the mark will not disappear as he heals; instead, it will leave a noticeable scar that reminds him of his painful past experiences.
Leave your name in history?
Why can't he just live forever and become a living legend in this world to write history?
As for being richer than a country?
Faced with absolute power, money is nothing but a pile of waste paper. He hopes that one day, when he wants something, it will be offered to him directly by others.
His goal is to do whatever he wants, with money, power, women, and even the lives of others all under his control.
Just like his response to Professor X?
Should inner strength become the theme of the new era?
No, there is only one theme in this new era, and that is him, Bai Ye!
Internal strength is merely an insignificant footnote to the beginning of this new era.
By the time modern society takes 20 years to digest the new changes that have emerged from internal energy, Bai Ye will have long since reached some unknown realm.
While chatting happily with the people around him who were trying to build a relationship, Bai Ye set a goal in his mind.
'I will become the god of the new world!'
Uncle Li never knew, even in death, what kind of impact his past actions would have on this monster named White Night.
……
While Bai Ye was enjoying himself at the party, a large crowd of people who had watched the live stream had already packed the bookstores.
"Boss, give me a set of 'Everyone Can Practice,' quick, quick!"
"I was here first, so sell to me first!"
"I've already paid, when are you going to give me the book? Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Hey, stop pushing! Can't we just do it in order?"
"Urgent, urgent, urgent!"
“You’re right, but ‘Everyone Has Skills to Practice’ is a book written by Bai Ye himself, and the content of the book is…”
……
The scene was in complete chaos. They couldn't help but panic. Inner strength was money. Didn't Bai Ye say during the live stream that even a wisp of inner strength could be sold for at least $100? Every day wasted was throwing money away.
The thought of not being able to read "Everyone Has the Skill" today made them feel as uncomfortable as if ants were crawling all over them.
Inside the bookstore, the owner secretly kept a few books for himself before calmly saying, "Come one by one, don't push, don't push. I only have fifty books on hand, and I can't give them all to so many of you."
"boom!"
As soon as the boss finished speaking, a black man raised his handgun and fired a shot at the ceiling.
Amidst the terrified stares of those around him, he pointed the dark gun at the bookstore owner and threatened, "Now, give me one of the books you have, or you'll be in for a world of hurt."
A minute later, watching the Black man leave satisfied with his book, the atmosphere quickly became lively again.
The bookstore owner, after cursing his bad luck, continued selling books to the people in line.
Chapter 83 Only taxes and death are inevitable
Today, bookstores across the country are swarming with readers eager to buy "Everyone Has Skills to Practice," and for a time, Amelia Cardboard is in high demand.
However, the number of books could not keep up with the demand, and in just one afternoon, there were no books left to buy.
Even with book production companies printing at full capacity, they still couldn't keep up with the people's overwhelming demand.
