Marvel's whitewashing cop, you want me to save the world?

Chapter 175 dungeon cooldown is over.

Lee Eun did not hold any grand inauguration ceremony.

Upon taking office, he immediately began cleaning up the mess in New York.

He set up 36 alien item collection points throughout the city, but it wasn't mandatory.

If any citizens want to keep those alien gadgets at home as souvenirs, or plan to hold onto them for a good price before selling them, that's fine too.

No members of the Hellsword will come to check the water meter.

Many wealthy individuals have also offered high prices to acquire them privately. Some want to build their own laboratories to study them, while others plan to resell them overseas.

Li En did not object to any of these things.

He even did something else: he packaged up similar alien equipment recovered in New York and sold it directly to several other powerful countries.

As for those small and medium-sized countries, given their limited national strength, unless they unite to contribute, Li En has no intention of paying attention to them for the time being.

It's not that he's stingy.

Letting these countries with little scientific research foundation do their own thing is a complete waste of time.

It would be more efficient to wait until we've mastered the technology ourselves, then bring them along on our journey to space.

Right now, Li En is sitting in the mayor's office.

There was a thick stack of documents on the table, at least a hundred.

This was already the result of Jarvis's initial screening.

He delegated all tasks that his subordinates could handle themselves to Jarvis for allocation.

Only documents that truly concern space strategy or core interests will be brought to this table.

beep.

The landline next to me rang.

Li En picked up the receiver.

"Mayor Lee, New York Police Commissioner Brock would like to speak with you."

"Bring them in."

After two brief pauses, Brock's voice came through the receiver: "Mayor Lee, I know you're very busy right now."

But recently, a large influx of people from other areas has entered New York, and security problems have begun to emerge.

"What's so troublesome?" Li En's tone remained unchanged. "Once they're in New York, they'll have to follow our rules."

He could certainly guess that a large influx of outsiders would occur.

New York has just experienced a major battle, and half of the city has been reduced to ruins.

He took this opportunity to carry out a comprehensive overhaul of the entire underground pipeline network, road traffic, and municipal facilities.

This is a huge project, and it also means a large number of jobs.

This kind of thing naturally attracts a large number of undocumented workers, as well as people from surrounding states who want to make money.

The hourly wage in New York is not low. They can find a place to sleep near the construction site and work for a few months, earning what they used to earn in several years.

But with more people comes more trouble.

"Are you really going to do it our way?" Brock hesitated for a moment on the other end of the line.

"Yes, we'll follow our rules. Anyone who refuses to comply will be thrown out of New York."

"No matter who he is, even if he works for a big company, it's all the same." Li En paused, then added.

"By the way, regarding the expansion of police recruitment, you could consider recruiting some retired personnel from the military, or even poaching from the state police."

They're probably also looking to earn some extra money. You can keep in touch with General Rhodes; he'll support you.

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Brock hung up the phone.

Li Engang put the receiver back, picked up the seal and stamped two documents with a slap, when the phone rang again.

This time, it was the Governor of New York who called.

His voice was unusually enthusiastic: "Mayor Lee, I have decided to fully implement your policies throughout the state and give you my absolute support."

Go ahead and do whatever you want; the whole of New York State will be your strongest support.

"Thank you very much. I will have Umbrella send you a gift later to express my gratitude for your generous support. Please accept it."

Lee En responded with a smile.

The New York governor's voice rose a half-octave, brimming with barely concealed elation: "It's all for the American people! It's all for the Earth Alliance! I have no choice but to do it!"

Li En laughed twice, gave a polite but perfunctory reply, and hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, governors from the surrounding states called in one after another.

The rhetoric was largely the same: they were willing to fully support Lee En's policies, including urban renewal, crime fighting, and even a comprehensive ban on drugs.

Faced with the allure of Dragon Blood Potion Type I, Type II, and the yet-to-be-disclosed Type III and Type IV, and the possibility of extending lifespan to three hundred years, all capital has shown unprecedented unity.

They were even willing to completely sever ties with the drug trade, which had been deeply entrenched since the founding of the United States and had never truly been shaken.

This large-scale dismantling dealt a devastating blow to the Mexican gangs.

But they had no room to resist.

After Frank woke up, he took the members of Hellsword to Mexico and they haven't returned yet.

Their purpose was clear—to eliminate all drug traffickers in Mexico and burn every single drug crop grown in that land to ashes.

Of course, Li En also knew that many Mexican farmers barely managed to make a living by growing these things.

So he had Banner and Connors bring along the latest high-yield corn and potato seeds to help them quickly resume normal farming.

In addition, Umbrella provided long-term purchase orders as a safety net to help them survive the transition period.

The Mexican government was overjoyed.

For years, the Mexican government has made no difference in existence.

Anyone who truly wants to eradicate drugs and do something meaningful will have their head chopped off by the gangsters, along with their entire family.

This time, with the evil punisher Frank personally leading the cleanup, the gangsters either hid in caves trembling in fear or were completely wiped out.

There is no third way.

Mexican government officials then began to truly regain control of the country.

Of course, such a bloody crackdown will inevitably attract overwhelming criticism.

There have also been organized marches and demonstrations on the streets of New York.

However, they were all swiftly and decisively sent away by the police and state troopers.

The reason is straightforward: there's construction going on everywhere in the city right now, and if someone gets run over by a passing bulldozer, they can't blame anyone else.

So these opponents, human rights organizations, environmental organizations, and the like all slunk away to the outskirts of New York.

They hired many TV reporters to do live broadcasts, and some so-called internet celebrities followed suit to gain popularity.

Li En's attitude towards these people was to let them go unchecked.

As long as they don't cause trouble in downtown New York City, they can do whatever they want in the suburbs.

Ultimately, the human population on such a small planet is indeed excessive.

There will always be some people who aren't quite right in the head.

For example, some people are loudly proclaiming that we should abandon research on alien spaceships and actively embrace aliens to rule the Earth.

Some people have even seriously suggested that Earth should be directly incorporated into Asgard, submitted to Thor and even Loki for protection, and have even started calling them "gods".

Li En ordered the police to drive all these mentally unstable people to the outskirts of the city.

If there is any sign of armed resistance, then just draw your gun.

The reason these so-called organizations are now able to stay obediently in the suburbs is because many people were killed in the previous two conflicts, which has finally made them behave themselves.

Because they finally discovered a fact: no matter how much noise they made online, if they dared to step into New York City and interfere with ordinary citizens making money, they would not only be driven away by the police, but also be treated like rats by the locals.

Walking on the street, you might get rotten eggs thrown at you or even feces thrown at you at any time.

For a full week after the Battle of New York, Lee worked tirelessly, around the clock, and finally managed to get the city back on track.

At the same time, he also did a good job of putting on a good show for the whole world.

It was only by using Dragon Blood Potion Type III, Type IV, and even more advanced evolved forms in the future as bait and adhesive that several major countries on Earth were barely brought together.

At least in name, everyone is united and has begun preparations for venturing beyond Earth.

Li En leaned back heavily into the chair, let out a long breath, and pinched the space between her eyebrows.

To be honest, the endless review of documents every day has been getting on his nerves.

But we are still in the most critical window of opportunity, and he cannot abandon everything to go on vacation.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the system screen.

The dungeon's cooldown period has ended, and you can now choose to enter the next world at any time.
