People in America started by developing the Yellow Turban Army.

To be honest, Chen Ping'an was quite touched.

Tens or twenty thousand US dollars, not ten or twenty thousand RMB, that's equivalent to hundreds of thousands, or even thirteen or forty thousand RMB.

These days, the quality of a friendship depends on whether you lend money to someone.

Once you lend money, sometimes even just a few thousand yuan, you'll find that your usually good friends suddenly become strangers.

Not to mention, they proactively offered to lend you tens of thousands of yuan to help you through your difficulties and solve your problems.

If so, then a more rational person might even download an anti-fraud app.

But now, thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, an old classmate named Lin Zhiyong has offered him over 100,000 yuan.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved!

But the United States had no choice but to go; they had already provided guidance on the Pacification Strategy!

Even if all we have now is the method for transforming and utilizing the grains and water of the Taiping Dao, it is already a very good start.

With system binding, space and talisman water have appeared. How far are cultivation and transcendence from here?

So, Chen Ping'an is determined to go to America; even Jesus couldn't stop him, he said.

Lin Zhiyong still wanted to give it a try: "It's different here than in China. Your undergraduate degree in China is not very useful here."

In other words, you have unlimited possibilities in China. You can work hard as a real estate agent or get a job in a large company with your bachelor's degree.

Earning five or six thousand a month is your starting point; earning over ten thousand a month is actually not difficult for you in first- or second-tier cities in China.

But now that you're here, what advantages do you have?

Besides driving a used car for Uber, delivering food, or washing dishes, what else can you do?

Moreover, too many people are vying for these jobs!

Don't come here. The environment here in America is brutal. It's a fucking cannibalistic society!

Most importantly, how are you getting here?

"If you have the skills, and are a leading figure in the field of physics, skilled immigration will be no problem at all."

But you aren't!

"If you are very rich, you can invest $100 million over two years to create 10 jobs, even if you lose some money and the business goes bankrupt after two years, then you can immigrate through investment."

"But do you have a million dollars?"

"Does he intend to get a tourist visa first, and then overstay his visa?"

"But even if you stay in the dark like this, you might be lucky enough not to get caught or deported."

But since you are an unregistered resident, it's very difficult for you to get a work permit.

How do you find a job?

"Don't even mention those who came illegally; even those who came through an agency legally and have work permits are having a hard time making a living!"

Lin Zhiyong spoke earnestly, even giving an example of a couple he knew in Los Angeles.

This couple graduated from a top university and used to teach English at a high school in the Dagukou area of ​​China. Because the salary of public high school teachers is not high, the couple's combined salary was only 16000.

They felt that their salary put a lot of pressure on their lives. Although they could use their housing provident fund to pay their mortgage, it was still not enough to cover their daily expenses. They thought that changing their environment might allow them to get more.

So he listened to the agent, sold his house in Dagukou, and immigrated to the United States with the intention of opening an English training class to teach new immigrants.

Then they went there and were dumbfounded. In China, they were respected educators, but in the United States, they were nothing.

The job the agent suggested—teaching English to new immigrants—is simply not feasible. If you want to work in an educational institution, you first need to be qualified.

Since this place doesn't recognize any domestic diplomas, all the skills and certifications that the couple earned through their own hard work have been wasted here.

Moreover, someone who teaches English in the East comes to America to teach English.

It's like someone who teaches Chinese in America wanting to go to the East to teach Chinese language and literature—it's absurd!

So now, the woman can only work at a nail salon, and the man drives a used car as an Uber driver; their lives are incredibly depressing.

I heard they were going through a divorce recently.

As for other jobs...

Asians are unwanted even when washing dishes in restaurants; those Mexicans are much more hardworking and diligent than Asians.

However, although he tried his best to persuade Chen Ping'an to give up the idea of ​​going to the United States, Lin Zhiyong was not worried at all.

In fact, some people like Chen Ping'an had already bought an abandoned town in Los Angeles before applying for a US visa.

Not to mention, this person has never been abroad before; such conditions would not pass the visa officer's test.

Because it's obvious that this kind of person plans to go to the US and then stay there illegally and never come back.

The United States doesn't want people like that!

Those who cannot immigrate through normal procedures are considered unwanted "garbage" by immigration officers.

Unless you can invest $100 million and create 10 jobs for two consecutive years.

Instead of spending a dollar to buy an abandoned town and thinking you have a home there.

In fact, it's possible that they won't even be able to pay the land and housing taxes and fees for the reassessment.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyong was genuinely considering Chen Ping'an's well-being.

I've been living in Los Angeles for a few years now.

But he still couldn't fit in at Los Angeles, whether it was the Chinese community, the white community, or the community of people of color; everything felt so out of place for him.

Only Chen Ping'an, who was his roommate for three years in college, whom he climbed over walls with and played games with in internet cafes, and with whom he never lost contact even after dropping out of school and coming to America, was truly his beloved friend and brother.

Therefore, he didn't want Chen Ping'an to come. He only realized after Chen Ping'an arrived that America... was not paradise on earth!

"I have a green card!"

Chen Pingan had no choice but to explain, "It was just processed not long ago, so there's no need to make it illegal."

Lin Zhiyong was stunned, then blurted out without thinking, "Where did you get your green card? Do you also have an uncle who's going to let you inherit his estate?"

"That shouldn't be the case!"

"Uh...a relative helped with it."

Chen Ping'an gave a vague answer, saying it was hard to explain. Could it be that the system gave it to him?

The system is definitely my biggest secret, and I can't tell anyone.

So he had no choice but to pin it on a mysterious and all-powerful relative, and then awkwardly changed the subject: "A-Yong, what do you need to bring when you go to live in the United States for a while?"

Lin Zhiyong was still full of questions. What relatives? How could a green card be obtained so easily?

However, since the topic has turned to relatives, even close friends who have shared a dormitory for several years, it's impossible to pry too deeply.

"Are you really coming?"

"real!"

"Alright! If you really are coming, there are a few things you absolutely must bring."

"The most important thing is medicine!"

"Cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antidiarrheal medication for treating diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort."

In particular, be sure to bring cold medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs containing antibiotics.

Here, if you catch a cold or fever, you can't buy cold medicine at the pharmacy without a prescription.

To get a prescription, you have to see a doctor, and a single hospital visit can result in an exorbitant bill.

Also, bring a bag of green tea from my hometown. Brew a pot when you get here; it can sometimes help prevent acclimatization issues when you first arrive…”

……

A few days later, Chen Ping'an appeared at the airport. After boarding the plane, he sent a message to Lin Zhiyong, telling him in a boastful tone that he had brought him a few bottles of Maotai and a few cartons of Huazi cigarettes.

"Oh no, I forgot to tell Chen Ping'an not to bring anything he shouldn't!"

Lin Zhiyong's expression changed upon receiving the news. He quickly dialed the number, but couldn't get through.

Is this Chen Ping'an's first time going to the US? Will he be stopped and detained as soon as he enters the country?
