America: I'm really not crazy

Chapter 38 Li Wei's Philosopher's Time

The next morning, Levi woke up in the soft velvet bed of the presidential suite at the Fina Hotel.

And beside his pillow...

It wasn't Tessa, but his megaphone toy (unlimited battery life version).

He played with it until he was exhausted after getting it last night, even though he was complained about three times for disturbing the peace and attracted Miami police officers to his door.

But regardless, he had a great time.

It was just a little too much fun...

Even now, after waking up, Li Wei is still not out of the "post-coital period".

Instead of looking at the megaphone toy (unlimited battery version) beside his pillow, he surprisingly opened the system interface and glanced at the task settlement interface.

[Mission Evaluation: I was so stupid, really. I knew you were crazy all along, but I only thought about using that unreliable reward to skirt around the issue and settle the score from that 'Creation and Regeneration (Beginner)' incident. And the result... you actually unified the Miami gangs for that piece of junk?!]

[Reward: Megaphone Toy (Unlimited Battery Version)]

Very good. Although he didn't appreciate the system's kindness when facing Claude that time, the system did save his life in a real way.

Now that he has balanced the system's accounts, he no longer owes the system anything.

Therefore, he can continue to curse the system with a clear conscience.

"idiot."

Li Wei stretched comfortably and got out of bed.

"Turn on the TV, to the morning news channel."

The hotel's "smart butler" turned on the TV and tuned it to Channel 7 News' "Today Florida".

Li Wei listened to the news while washing up after getting up.

A high school student who was bullied slept with the mothers of five bullies; a man successfully robbed a store using an alligator as a weapon; a 97-year-old man who claimed to consume a spoonful of gunpowder daily as a secret to longevity created a 50-inch crater during his cremation yesterday…

Li Wei, who was squeezing toothpaste after washing his face, couldn't help but sigh.

Florida remains as peaceful and tranquil as ever.

It wasn't until he finished showering that the news began to air on television that "Miami Mayor Harvey Rogers committed suicide by shooting himself at home in the early hours of the morning."

When Tessa knocked on the door to call him for breakfast, the news on TV had already changed to "A man broke into a hairdresser's house and gave the hairdresser's cat a bald head because he was unhappy with the hairstyle the hairdresser designed."

"How did you sleep last night? Did you miss me?"

Tessa changed her clothes again.

White T-shirt, jeans, white flats.

She even wore only light makeup.

This makes her look like a college student who hasn't graduated yet, but it doesn't look out of place at all.

Li Wei once again donned his windbreaker, vest, and tactical pants.

"I slept a little late, but I had too much fun, so I'm a bit exhausted. So, I've decided to say goodbye to the thing that brought me joy."

Tessa didn't even need to go inside to know that Levi was referring to a "cheap toy" that came with a McDonald's Happy Meal.

Because last night, Li Wei used this as an excuse to refuse her suggestion to stay.

"I'll be very noisy in the middle of the night, you should go back to your room and rest early."

What else could Tessa say?

She could only book another room next door and sleep there for the night.

"So you've decided to get rid of that toy? In that case, how about we go shopping together today?"

Tesa launched his "attack" early in the morning.

Moreover, it was the kind of straightforward, head-on confrontation that Li Wei greatly admired.

However, he had other plans.

"Wesker called me last night and said he got the bar, and asked me to check it out today. I'm quite interested. You should talk to Danielle and Antonio about the 'new rules for Miami.' That's what you've always wanted, hasn't it?"

But Tessa was not defeated by Levi's "counterattack," and instead adjusted his "direction of attack."

"Hmm... As a member of Levi's gang, I think we can all go to a bar together and give our opinions. How about this, I'll call Danielle and Antonio, and we can all go to a bar and 'meet' there. What do you think?"

"That's very sound advice, I have no reason to refuse it."

Li Wei nodded in agreement, and the battlefront on Tessa's side began to advance.

"Shall we go after breakfast?"

Tessa attempted to seize the opportunity to further advance the front line.

Li Wei agreed.

This left Tesa, who had prepared for a counterattack, somewhat at a loss.

Is it a strategic retreat, or luring the enemy deeper into our territory?

But when the two entered the restaurant area, Tessa realized she had been overthinking things—Lee Vie was simply hungry.

Tessa looked at Levi, who had filled two plates to the brim, with a hint of helplessness.

She wasn't disgusted by Li Wei's embarrassment, but rather felt as if she had given her charm to a blind man.

"Aren't you supposed to be very polite? In that case, shouldn't you, as a gentleman, get me one?"

Tessa attempted to attack Levi's weak points and readjust his rhythm.

"I don't know what you like to eat. If I bring you something you don't like, it would feel very impolite. Besides, you're not injured or disabled, and you didn't ask me for help beforehand, right?"

Li Weiquan defended the area.

Tessa's attack was a failure.

"Okay, I usually like to eat something light in the morning, but the opposite if I have a hangover."

Tessa said it casually, then got up and went to choose his own meal.

Li Wei, who was happily showing off his food, paused in his actions.

Is this considered setting up "landmines" in advance?

Tessa appears to be using "information warfare" to try to influence his subsequent strategic decisions.

But Li Wei quickly reverted to his "showing off" mode.

He was never a good commander, and he was happy to be a good soldier.

Therefore, he decided to wait and see how things went.

Soon, Tessa returned with a plate.

Compared to Li Wei, she was practically feeding birds.

Moreover, her table manners were much better than Li Wei's.

If Li Wei's habits, developed during his time in the army, made him eat like a water pump,

Even when Tessa was eating an egg sandwich, it looked like she was on television in the White House State Dining Room.

This resulted in Li Wei taking a lot of food but finishing it all first.

However, he did not urge Tessa to hurry up.

Because while he has his own rhythm, he has also begun to learn to respect his friends' rhythms.

Just like he would go to the bar Wesker chose, throw a welcome party for Thomas, not let Danielle, who followed him down, and play dominoes with Antonio.

He was willing to wait for Tessa to finish breakfast at his own pace and according to his own habits.

Tessa was completely unaware of this, but Levi didn't care.

He was simply doing what he wanted to do, rather than expecting anyone to be moved by him.

He only needs to be satisfied with himself.

After Tessa finished eating, the two of them suddenly asked a question in unison.

"Have you eaten?" x2

Li Wei and Tessa were both taken aback, then answered sincerely.

"I'm full." x2

"Let's go then."

This time, only Tessa spoke up, while Levi felt somewhat relieved.

Because that's what he originally intended to say.

Luckily I didn't speak, otherwise I would have looked like a parrot...

Thinking this, the two of them strolled into the underground parking lot of the Fina Hotel as if taking a walk after dinner.

But when Tessa took a car key out of the shoulder bag he was carrying and pressed it, a Rolls-Royce that looked extremely business-like "blinked."

"Your old car was stolen?"

Li Wei asked this question subconsciously.

Tessa, who was already in the driver's seat, stretched out her fair neck and rolled her eyes at him.

"With over a billion dollars in cash flow, isn't it normal for me to own several luxury cars?"

Li Wei was shocked.

"In America... is being a gangster really that lucrative?"

Tessa blinked, looking completely at ease.

"It's not that 'gangsters make so much money,' it's that I can make gangsters make so much money."

After getting into the car, Li Wei couldn't help but think about a question... Given Wesker's scoundrelly integrity, would he voluntarily step down to win over Tessa, his "goddess of wealth"?

Would he really be that shameless?
