"Don't let the media bother Mr. Bai. For the rest of the meeting, let Mr. Bai freely choose who to talk to. Whoever he rejects, that person must not appear in Mr. Bai's mind a second time, understand?"

When no longer facing Bai Ye, Kingpin's eyes regained their coldness. After calmly giving instructions to the guards, he once again followed Bai Ye around like a lapdog.

As soon as Bai Ye entered the venue, as the center of attention, a large group of people crowded around him, wanting to strike up a conversation. However, compared to the previous chaos caused by the reporters, these upper-class people were much more classy, ​​after all, they all cared about their image.

"Young man, you're not serious, are you? Is there really a secret to becoming stronger in your new book?"

Ross was the first to step forward and ask the question. As soon as he asked it, everyone around him pricked up their ears, eager to find out the truth.

"Why would I lie to you? Would I need to tell such an easily exposed lie?" Bai Ye didn't stand on ceremony with Ross, an acquaintance, and smiled.

"There must be limitations, right?" Ross asked. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

“Of course, it would take an ordinary poor person seven hundred years to reach the level I just demonstrated,” Bai Ye said. The others present were instantly disappointed; it turned out to be a matter of time and patience.

“Ordinary? Poor?” At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a smile, “What if they are not ordinary rich people?”

"Oh!" Bai Ye gave the middle-aged man who had come up to speak to him a strange look. The man immediately extended his right hand and smiled, "I have long admired your name. I am the current Vice President of the United States, Rodriguez."

Bai Ye reached out and gently shook hands with the other person, replying, "If you're not just an ordinary rich person, you might be able to reach my level in just one night."

One night?

Everyone present was stunned. Does this thing really have a difference between those with money and those without? How realistic.

"The detailed introduction hasn't started yet. I'll give each of you a free copy later. You'll understand once you've read the book's opening introduction," Bai Ye said.

To ensure the book's secrecy, Kingpin used his connections to get it approved smoothly and replaced the printing staff with his own underworld henchmen.

So far, even S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know the contents of the book "White Nights," and only thinks it's an ordinary autobiography.

As they were talking, another supercar pulled up next to Bai Ye's car with a graceful drift outside the door, and then a flamboyant middle-aged man with a mustache got out of the car.

His stylish entrance, like Bai Ye's, attracted everyone's attention, and soon, just like before, reporters swarmed around him.

'Tony Stark?' Bai Ye's gaze lingered on the other person for a second before he looked away, immediately judging the newcomer to be no threat and not worth worrying about.

Chapter 78 The future has come

On the scene, Tony thought to himself with a touch of smugness: 'The great Tony Stark has arrived in his loyal New York City today.'

As he answered the reporters' questions with practiced ease, he walked into the venue and was immediately surprised by the impressive lineup inside.

President, scientist, queen, prime minister, global superstar...

The gathering of all sorts of men and women, some recognizable and some not, is a spectacle that even the UN summit in New York a few days later might not have such a powerful lineup.

Among all these celebrities, Bai Ye, surrounded by admirers, holds the absolute center position.

Even Tony Stark had to admit at this moment what a handsome man he was, with the same charm he had in his youth.

'I've already taken on all sorts of titles—billionaire, playboy, and great inventor—maybe I could try being a superhero.'

'The parties I've held before were all about quantity, not quality. Next time, I'm going to throw a party that grand.'

Stark, with a light step, walked up to Bai Ye and said confidently with one hand on his hip, "Hey kid, I'm Tony Stark. I think you should recognize me."

'Where did this conspicuous bag come from? Troublesome guy.' Bai Ye rolled his eyes inwardly and said, 'I have a vague impression of you. I remember you are Howard Stark's son, that... Tony, right?'

These words immediately made Stark's face turn sour. He had always resented his father's attitude towards him during his childhood, and Bai Ye's words clearly meant that he was not as good as his father.

“I think you should remember me as I am,” Stark emphasized, but at that moment, Bai Ye’s gaze was no longer on him.

"Are most of the people here? Let's get started as soon as possible," Bai Ye instructed Kingpin, turning to him.

Kingpin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then took the microphone, raised his hands and said, "Everyone here, please follow me and take the elevator to the top floor of the building in an orderly manner. We will begin the book presentation and signing event there."

Is it finally starting?

A sense of anticipation welled up in everyone present. After witnessing Bai Ye's performance, it was impossible not to yearn for extraordinary power, even if the probability was very small.

Seeing that he was completely ignored by Bai Ye, Stark felt a deep sense of frustration, but before he could say anything, Bai Ye's figure had already disappeared from his sight, turning into a blur and heading straight for the rooftop.

The sudden disappearance startled Stark, followed by increasing anger. What was wrong with this guy? He didn't give him any face at all.

'What an arrogant brat,'

Stark was ready to leave at this moment. He was always the one who stood others up, and he had never been ridiculed like this in public. He might as well leave this place.

“Sir, here’s a video you might need to see.” Jarvis’s voice came through Stark’s headset, and then a video was sent to his phone.

He opened his phone and watched the live stream, seeing Bai Ye using his internal energy and hearing him say that the secret was in the book. He immediately stopped in his tracks, which was about to leave.

'Or should we stay and take another look?' Thinking of the aphrodisiac effects advertised, Tony Stark, who had just been indignant, felt a shameful hesitation.

As people reach middle age, they can't indulge in as much fun as they did when they were younger, mainly because their bodies can't keep up. Even if there's some improvement, it would be great.

Watching the crowd ascend the elevator, the flamboyant Tony awkwardly blended into the flow of people and walked upstairs with them.

Using aphrodisiacs is nothing to be ashamed of.

During the orderly ascent, everyone inside the elevator spoke quietly, trying not to disturb others.

Inside the elevator, Nick Fury turned his head indifferently. The miniature camera on his chest was uploading information about everyone he saw to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and retrieving the data of everyone present.

In front of him, Professor X, in his wheelchair, was having a quiet conversation with Jean.

"Why are mutants here too? Does Kingpin have such extensive connections?" Nick Fury was a little confused.

They keep records of all the people invited through official channels, which means that Professor X was invited by Kingpin personally at this moment?

Not only mutants, but Nick Fury turned his head and saw a woman standing in the elevator who was also bald, but had a refined and composed demeanor.

'Which one is this?' Nick Fury felt that something was getting out of control.

S.H.I.E.L.D. had absolutely no information about this person; he didn't appear in any official records, and no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find him.

Under his gaze, the woman seemed to notice, turned around, and gracefully nodded slightly to him in greeting.

Feeling that he couldn't just sit and wait to die, Nick Fury decided to go up and talk to them. But the next moment, the elevator dinged and arrived at the top floor. Then everyone walked into the huge conference room on the top floor.

The entire conference room was incredibly spacious, capable of accommodating hundreds of people at the same time. The walls were covered with dark blue velvet, giving it a tranquil and solemn feel.

Below the podium, rows of seats stood in neat rows, but what caught everyone's attention first was that on the right-hand armrest of each seat was a thin booklet for people to read at will.

"What is this?" Someone asked curiously, quickly stepping forward and taking their seat in the pre-assigned area, then picking up the booklet beside them.

The book's preface reads, "Everyone Can Practice," and its title is "Preface to the Book."

"This..." Everyone's faces showed a thoughtful and annoyed expression. Why make selling a book so mysterious?

Kingpin stepped onto the stage, clapped his hands lightly, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"After more than a month of promotion, I believe everyone is full of curiosity about Mr. Bai's book and has doubts about the effectiveness of the promotion."

Kingpin looked at the crowd below the stage and said slowly, "But I want to say that the content of the propaganda is completely true. You will understand once you finish reading the books and brochures in your hands."

"Before formally inviting Mr. Bai to the stage to give his speech, please take three to five minutes to browse through the introduction. You will then understand what an epoch-making thing Mr. Bai Ye has done."

"In 1492, Columbus discovered the New World, and today, Mr. Bai Yebai will let everyone discover the gold hidden within them."

"Everyone, once you've read the preface in your hands, you'll know that the future has already arrived."

Watching Kingpin's passionate speech on stage, everyone shook their heads helplessly, treating Kingpin like a high-purity crystallized powder of White Night, which was a complete waste of their breath.

With this in mind, the group turned their attention to the books and began browsing, wanting to see if the so-called future had actually arrived.

Chapter 79 Candidates

At the book signing event, on the top floor of the building, Kingpin was speaking passionately, but Stark had no interest in listening and instead began flipping through the secret manual in his hand.

'I'll see what's so special about this book,' Tony thought to himself, then casually flipped to the first page and began browsing:

"Everyone can practice this method; it is a cultivation method that guarantees rewards as long as you put in the effort."

An ordinary person can generate a trace of true qi in half a day... while even a peerless genius needs fifteen minutes to generate a trace.

Furthermore, meditation can replace sleep. Even ordinary people, through persistent and diligent practice for forty or fifty years, can achieve great strength, prolong life, avoid all diseases, and live to a ripe old age.

……

The booklet is not thick, only three thin pages, and the first two pages are all about the basics of the Zixia Divine Skill, such as simple explanations of concepts like internal energy and dantian.

'Forty or fifty years?' Tony Stark frowned. How long would it take to reach forty or fifty years?

But then, someone beside Stark whispered, "The Generous Crab!"

Stark didn't pay attention to the gasps from the people in the seats next to him, but soon those gasps seemed to be a signal, and people throughout the venue began to gasp in excitement.

'What's wrong with these people? They're like they've never seen the world before.' Stark thought impatiently, then sped up his reading and quickly reached the last line of the third page.

[Internal energy of the same origin can be transferred, just like money; each transfer will result in a 20% loss of mass!]

"Ward!" Upon seeing this setting, Stark's heart skipped a beat, then began to pound violently.

He uttered the same "Holy crap" as the others he had complained about earlier.

Everyone who comes here is a shrewd individual. Upon seeing this sentence, they instantly understood why Bai Ye had previously said that for extraordinary wealthy people, it was possible to reach his level in just one night.

In an instant, thoughts like "manufactured superhumans" and "where there's a will, there's a way" flooded the minds of everyone present, causing their hearts to race and their breathing to quicken.
