People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

Chapter 557 Physique 20.0, the final step (2-in-1, please vote)

The convoy slowly drove off the Washington Bridge and began to enter New Jersey territory, but the number of people on the roadside did not decrease at all.

Blue hats, blue scarves, and blue sweaters printed with the number "1"—from over 60-year-old fans to 5-year-old new fans holding up crookedly handwritten notes, they cheered for Li Wei all the way.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Wei couldn't help but wave to the outside through the window.

Even with the view obstructed, every time he waved, it elicited a small cheer.

Lily pressed herself against the car window, her breath creating white puffs that sprayed onto it.

"Brother, you're so handsome and awesome!" she exclaimed, looking at the crowd outside the window. "It's already like this; once everyone knows you're Superman, the whole world will idolize you! You'll be enforcing the law globally, patrolling constantly, and fighting evil!"

Li Wei smiled but didn't say anything.

Lily's mind was already racing: "Brother, if I practice a little now, do you think I could become a superhero, fighting crime and maintaining order in New York?"

"I've already decided on my superhero name," she said, getting more and more excited. "It'll be Super Lily!"

"That would be very tiring," Li Wei said casually.

"Tired?" Lily turned her head, her eyes wide, and asked, "What's tiring about being worshipped by the whole world? Don't you want to be the queen of the world?"

"With great power comes great responsibility," she said, gesturing excitedly. "It's like in Spider-Man; with such abilities, it would be a waste not to save the world, wouldn't it?"

"Let me give you an example," Li Wei shook his head, "You become a superhero, save people, and fight bad guys. For example, let's say a gang. How do you plan to deal with the gang leader?" He looked at the gradually thinning streets around him.

"Of course, we should put them in jail and bring them to justice!" Lily said without hesitation.

"Okay," Li Wei smiled, "and then?"

Lily paused, then asked, "And then? What, then?"

"And then?" Li Wei asked. "You don't think that's the end of it, do you?"

"What else?" Lily said. "I mean, by the time the gang leader comes out, it'll be decades later, won't it?"

"Doesn't he have any subordinates? No trusted confidants?" Li Wei smiled. "Can't he get parole early? Can't he bribe his way into prison and continue being the boss inside?"

Lily was stunned; it seemed she had never considered this question before.

"Furthermore," Levi pressed, "do you think his hatred might shift after this incident? Why are superheroes always alone? Do you think that's fair to the superheroes themselves?"

Lily fell silent, watching the white mist gradually dissipate from the car window.

"Besides," Levi shook his head, "Captain America's abilities come from his serum, right? All his abilities come from the U.S. government, so it's only natural that he should risk his life for the government and save America."

He shrugged. "But I'm not Captain America, and there are no supervillains in this world. So why should I become a vigilante, fighting crime for the government every day, and then shift all the hatred onto me?"

He certainly wanted believers, the more the better, but why should the task of being the savior fall on his shoulders?

Lily opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but for a moment she couldn't find anything to say.

It seems... Li Wei is right too.

These past few days, she's been watching superhero movies over and over again in her room, and even designed several cool suits for herself in a rather childish way, and even came up with code names.

She even planned to patrol Central Park once the weather warmed up, starting by practicing catching robbers and thieves.

hand.

But after Li Wei said that, she suddenly realized why she was doing such a thankless task—was it just to satisfy her momentary vanity and enjoy the pleasure of being admired?

As the white fog on the car window gradually dissipated, she suddenly realized that it was enough for her to protect the people around her.

She leaned back against the car window and waved vigorously at the crowd outside, deliberately including Li Wei in her selfie.

In the distance, the outline of the Metropolitan Life Stadium came into view.

The convoy entered the Metropolitan Life Stadium via a dedicated passage. After passing through security by elevator, the group went directly to Li Wei's VIP box.

This is a private box that John Mara reserved specifically for Levi, not open to the public, and the box was even named after him.

Upon entering the VIP box, a floor-to-ceiling window faced the center of the stadium. Outside the window was a small viewing balcony, through which the cheers from outside vibrated.

Lily couldn't wait to take out her phone and start taking pictures.

From the sidelines of the stadium upwards, layer upon layer of people, blue hats and blue scarves, converged into a veritable sea of ​​waves, all of them there for Li Wei.

Li Wei pushed open the glass door and stepped onto the balcony.

The moment the door opened, the sounds outside seemed to have been building up at the entrance for a long time, eagerly rushing into the room.

The cameras on the opposite stands quickly found him, and the next second, his face appeared on the big screen.

At first, the sound started from the closest stands, and then the sound waves emanating from him gradually spread outwards, like a boulder being thrown into water, with the ripples gradually growing larger.

The small cheers, when they reached the last corner, had become a towering wave.

"King! King! King!"

The Metropolitan Stadium originally had a maximum capacity of 82500 people, but Levi's request is now a royal decree for John Mara.

Temporary seats were added to the end areas on both sides, and the top floor area, which was originally closed to the public, was converted into standing room only. All the tickets for the top floor were released, and the number of people on site was forced to exceed 10.

Suddenly, the announcer's voice rang out over the stadium's loudspeakers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we gather here to bid farewell to a legend, whose name is..."

"Li Wei! Li Wei! Li Wei!"

"Yes, that's right, he's the Giants' number 1, Levi!"

Almost everyone stood up and cheered.

The camera panned across the room, and Lily, standing far behind, flashed a peace sign at the camera.

Just as Li Wei was being filmed, a long passage of text appeared before his eyes:

You have completed your mission: to let 10 beings see your true face and cheer for you.

[The entire kingdom's people shouted in unison before you; their cheers reached even before the throne of God.]

You have gained: 2.0 free attribute points.

[You have completed the preparation for godhood, part 9]

You have completed all the preparatory tasks for godhood. Now, you are only one step away from the final ascension.

The number of believers in front of Li Wei also jumped, increasing by 5 to 960 million, and it is still rising rapidly.

The global success of "The Last Dragon" has been steadily increasing the number of believers for Levi in ​​recent days. At this rate, it should reach 1000 million in less than 3 days.

Meanwhile, the text in front of me continued to scroll down.

[All Ascension to Godhood preparation missions completed. Bonus reward: 3.0 attribute points]

A whopping five attribute points in one go, that's really generous.

On the big screen, Li Wei remained motionless, gazing into the distance with a deep look in his eyes, seemingly reluctant to leave the stadium.

Many fans in the stands who had been hoping for Li Wei's return even had tears in their eyes.

During the live television broadcast, Joe Buck, his eyes filled with reluctance, lowered his voice and said, "You can see that even Levi finds it hard to let go of the NFL at this moment. After all, this is where he started, where he became a legend."

System, give me some points!

In fact, Li Wei was adding points little by little.

[Body Condition 18.5]

[Body Condition 20.0]

【Spirit 15.0】

【Spirit 18.5】

Of the four attributes, only Spirit is still 1.5 points short.

And the text kept jumping down.

Your constitution has reached 20.0.

You have reached the limit of the Golden Knight. You cannot be upgraded until you successfully ascend to godhood and become a Hero Knight.

[Knight's Aura Evolving...]

【Knight's Aura - Divine Light Shines Forever (2/4)】

[Shelter Beacon:]

[Bloodline: Deity (2/4)]

[Bloodline: Deity (3/4)]

You have received: Dragon God's Blessing (Passive)

【Dragon God's Blessing (Passive): Subjectively immune to any damage from weapons below Heroic or Divine Bloodline level, including but not limited to elemental, weapon, and curse damage. Anything that is subjectively perceived as damage can be negated.】

Li Wei doubted whether such things, whether heroic or divine bloodlines, existed in the real world.

Now that he's freed from his shackles, he truly has nothing to worry about anymore; no weapon in the world can harm him.

Li Wei smiled and waved again towards the stands.

The cheers of 100,000 people once again shook the skies of New Jersey.

In the box behind him, Don Quixote's drunkenness had suddenly dissipated considerably.

He shook his head in confusion: "Strange, why do I suddenly feel like I could drink two more bottles of whiskey?"

When the game ended, the numbers on the scoreboard silenced everyone who had predicted Li Wei's downfall before the match.

Irving Cross's temporary injury threw the Colts' lineup and rhythm into disarray, and the running backs they were forced to bring in were completely unable to cause any trouble for the Giants.

The so-called "failing to maintain his integrity in his later years" has become a common excuse used by Li Wei's fans in the comments section.

However, the focus of everyone's attention in this game was not the winning Giants, but Levi.

The press conference room had already reserved the center seat for Li Wei, and the player tunnel was packed with cameras and microphones.

"Li Wei! Will you ever make a comeback?"

"Levy! Irving Cross is absent at the last minute. Do you think he's deliberately avoiding you?"

There were other questions, such as about Li Wei's private life, but Li Wei did not give any interviews.

"Everything that needed to be said has already been said during the ceremony."

He waved to the team's press officer who had caught up with him and walked straight into the elevator.

Lily wanted to say something, but Don Quixote dragged her into the Maybach. On the return trip, Anya finally got to sit in the passenger seat, and Lily pouted.

Li Wei heard a heartbeat as he stepped out of the elevator.

He turned his head and looked at a load-bearing pillar not far away, behind which a person was hiding.

His heartbeat wasn't rapid; he didn't sound like a fan.

Li Wei tightened his Ralph Lauren coat and walked ahead to open the passenger door for Anya.

"Mr. Levi!"

Just as he was about to get into the car, the person behind the pillar finally came out.

The Land Rover convoy's bodyguards immediately surrounded them, and a middle-aged man with his hands raised slowly emerged from the shadows.

He had an ordinary appearance, was slightly overweight, and had a receding hairline.

His gaze lingered on Li Wei's coat before he looked up again.

Li Wei recognized him a few days ago at the Ralph Lauren flagship store. The middle-aged man was so excited when he saw him that his hands were shaking. He asked for an autograph, a photo, and even recorded a video for his daughter.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm a fan!" The middle-aged man took out his ID and showed it to everyone. "FBI."

Li Wei raised his hand, signaling the bodyguards to step back.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry to bother you in this way and in this capacity," he paused, "by the way, Winnie is my daughter, she really liked the video you recorded for her."

"It would be my pleasure," Li Wei nodded. "What do you want?"

"I just, well, it sounds strange," the middle-aged man said, "but I still want to give you a simple explanation."

The investigation.

"Investigate what?" Anya got out of the car and stood in front of Li Wei. "Whatever it is, please contact our lawyer or submit a written application to LW in advance."

"It's not that complicated, miss," the middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly, "It's very simple, just asking about Mr. Li Wei's brief itinerary."

Li Wei patted Anya on the shoulder to indicate that she was alright.

Anya glanced at him and stood next to Li Wei.

"Ask away."

"Where were you on the afternoon of December 16th?" the middle-aged man asked, staring at Li Wei's coat.

"I'm in New York," Levi replied without hesitation.

The middle-aged man nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Do you remember what clothes you were wearing that day?"
