While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

Tom started humming a song, something he hadn't done in a long time, as he drove:

"In New York,"

"Concrete jungle where dreams are made of!"

(New York, a dream built from skyscrapers)

"There's nothing you can't do,"

"Now you're in New York!"

(Now you are in New York, and you are capable of anything.)

The car came to a smooth stop in front of Denise's apartment building, and Tom got out.

Tom looked at the forty-story apartment building, and fear crept back into his heart.

To secure a pure tungsten supply chain, Tom will once again have to outwit and outmaneuver the Great Demon Slaanesh.

Tom unlocked the elevator with the key and boarded the upward elevator heading towards hell.

As soon as I entered, I saw Denise lying on her side on the sofa, watching TV.

On the television, Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" was playing.

Dani's lips curled into a slight smile as she watched Chaplin's performance.

Tom tiptoed over and sat down next to Diane.

Without taking her eyes off the television, Denise sniffed and asked lightly:

"Tell me, who did you go out with during the day, that slut?"

"She smells like a slut."

Tom realized he was facing a potentially disastrous situation.

In this situation, you must not rush to smell your own clothes or deny that you have a smell;

Of course, you can't honestly answer that you went to discuss business during the day.

Even if Tom was busy with important business, in Dani's eyes, saying it now would be making excuses.

To be precise, what Denise was saying wasn't a question, but simply an emotional outburst.

Why aren't you with me!

Too much talk leads to mistakes; Tom needs to prove himself through actions.

Tom grabbed Diane and pulled her close. Diane struggled slightly, but then let Tom prove his innocence.

How can Tom prove his innocence?

It's about energy reserves.

From 5 p.m. until 8 p.m., when it was completely dark, Dani finally reluctantly believed Tom.

Words can lie, but actions cannot.

Tom proved his "loyalty" by using his backup hidden energy source.

On the crumbling sofa, Tom, with his arm around Dani, asked:

"Dani, do you have any connections to buy some specialty metals?"

"Tungsten steel, aluminum alloys, and manganese steel or chromium steel would be even better."

Denise looked at Tom; knowing Tom as well as she did, she was certain he hadn't gone out fooling around.

It's normal for men to have their own things to do.

Denise nodded in satisfaction, then replied:

"Honey, do you want some special metal?"

"Special metals are usually only used in family businesses."

"I have never paid attention to the family business and do not know the channels for purchasing metals."

"Hmm, let me make a call and ask."

Denise picked up the phone, about to dial, but stopped, turning excitedly to Tom and saying:

"It's been a while since I visited my uncle's house. Why don't you come with me tomorrow and we can go ask him?"

"He now manages all the family businesses, except for real estate."

"He must know where to find special metals."

Tom was taken aback and quickly asked:

"Which uncle is your uncle?"

"Should we prepare some gifts since we're visiting so abruptly?"

Denise chuckled, waved her hand, and said:

"I only have one uncle, William Vanderbilt."

"As for gifts, it would be too formal to buy him gifts."

Tom's expression changed; was he about to face the final boss?

William Vanderbilt was a senator from New York State.

Seeing Tom's drastic change in expression, Denise licked her lips and said:

"You seem to have plenty of energy!"

Hehehe~

At 10 p.m., Tom took a break from his busy schedule, quickly got up and drank several large gulps of water, while simultaneously bringing up the system panel.

The events of December 12, 1941, have been compiled. The following is the diary entry:

Tom roared at the system in his mind:

Stop dawdling here and start processing my payment and refreshing my status.

At his command, Tom's body was completely transformed;

My back doesn't ache anymore, and my legs don't feel tired anymore;

I can climb six floors in one go without any effort.

Tom turned to look at the big bed, where the lazy "Slaanesh" Dani was stretching during the MVP settlement screen.

Denise's expression was filled with the pride of a victor and mockery of the loser, Tom.

Tom's lips curled into a smirk. The ten o'clock hour had arrived, and Dragon King Tom was back!

You little Slaanesh messenger, after several hours of fighting, your stamina and energy bars must have been completely depleted!

But I, Dragon King Little Tom, have already regrouped;

Slaanesh, let's see what you have to fight me with!

Tom leaped up and pounced on Dani, starting the second battle against the boss!

A few hours later, Tom was dejected, disoriented, and only wanted to escape the clutches of Slaanesh.

But is Slaanesh really that easy to talk to?

Hehehe, the tide has turned!

At six o'clock the next morning, Denise woke Tom up.

After dinner, Tom and Denise went downstairs hand in hand.

If you want war, then I will fight; let's fight!

Tom can lose, but Tom can't admit defeat!

The third battle begins!

Fight! Take a bath! Fight! Take a bath! Eat!

After dinner, Tom and Denise went downstairs hand in hand.

Once in the car, Tom sat in the passenger seat, utterly dejected, letting Denise drive.

On his way to the train station, Tom pulled up the system panel and checked yesterday's system settlement.

The events of December 12, 1941, have been compiled. The following is the diary entry:

Tom had just finished reading the diary summary when the car stopped.

The two arrived at Grand Central Terminal in New York City.

Located in the heart of Manhattan, not far from Dennis's apartment.

This train station was built by the New York Central Railroad Company, construction began in 1903, and it officially opened in 1913.

It is currently the world's largest and busiest train station;

In addition, it is also a public art museum;

However, the hurried travelers did not have time to appreciate the art.

Upon arrival at the station entrance, seven staff members dressed in French formal attire opened the door for Denise and Tom.

The two got out of the car, and a staff member took the keys from Diane and went to park the car for her.

Tom and Denise walked toward the train station, escorted by six workers, and entered the station through a private passage.

Tom, somewhat curious, asked Dani:

"Dani, what kind of ticket did you buy?"

"Is the service really that good?"

Dani was somewhat surprised, looked at Tom, and asked:

"What? You need to buy a ticket to take the train?"

Tom was also confused and continued to ask:

"If you don't buy tickets, how are we supposed to get on the train?"

"Why should the train station staff serve us?"

Denise also looked bewildered, and answered in a half-questioning manner:

"I've been riding trains since I was a child, and I've never even heard of train tickets."

"As for the service issue, this is my local train station. If they don't provide good service, are they trying to get fired?"

Tom: ? ? ?

Tom does have an intelligence rating of 5.0, but he knows very little about the specific situation in America during World War II.

All I know is that the president of the United States during World War II was Roosevelt, who was disabled.

The source of the information is "The Forest of Epidemics," which tells the inspirational story of how an ordinary disabled person changed America through his own efforts.

Tom knew nothing else.

Even after time travel, Tom still lacked access to information about the wealthy class.

Tom asked Diane for advice, and Diane began to introduce the Vanderbilt family to Tom.

The Vanderbilt family is more than just a senator.

The Grand Central Terminal is practically the private property of the Vanderbilt family.

Not just train stations, but also railways originating from or terminating in New York City.

More than 70 percent of the railways are directly or indirectly controlled by the Vanderbilt family.

This was even after the Vanderbilt family had fallen from grace.

Fifty or sixty years ago, at the height of the Vanderbilt family's power, all railroad lines in New York were owned by the Vanderbilt family.

Aside from the railroads, almost all of New York's real estate is owned by Vanderbilt.

At its peak, the Vanderbilt family directly managed 90 percent of New York City's real estate.

Even now, more than 60 percent of New York City's real estate belongs to the Vanderbilt family.

Tom's super brain kicks in, and yesterday's memories replay like a slideshow.

fuck!

Tom remembered that the apartment he bought yesterday also belonged to the Vanderbilt family!

Good heavens, all the money I worked so hard to earn has flowed back into Denise's house.

Denise not only preys on her own people, but also on her own wallet!
