Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 189: Magical Power: Wireless Dreaming Achieved
New York's Long Island, twenty miles away from the city, is also a wealthy area where the upper class and wealthy people gather.

There is a pair of egg-shaped peninsulas on Long Island, which are called East Egg and West Egg by New Yorkers. These two districts divide the rich people living on Long Island into two distinct factions.

The old aristocrats whose ancestors came to the American continent on the Mayflower and made their fortunes by trading black slaves and other businesses, and the new aristocrats who quickly accumulated wealth in the turbulent decade from 1919 to 1929 in the United States as industrial civilization came along and became nouveau riche.

The manager Winston was talking about was a nouveau riche living in West Egg, a young, wealthy man who was a role model for many young people who were still immersed in the stock market and dreamed of getting rich overnight. His name was Jay Gatsby, a young wealthy man who suddenly rose to prominence in New York around 1925 during the Prohibition era.

He bought a mansion in West Egg and had servants. He held parties in his mansion every night. No invitation was needed. As long as you wanted to come and as long as you could get here, you could enjoy yourself in the mansion of the great Mr. Gatsby and indulge yourself with fine wine.

You can meet famous stars, congressmen and other wealthy people of the time here.

Young people who have witnessed the luxury and revelry of Gatsby's mansion all have this question: where on earth did this mysterious rich man, who is only in his thirties, get so much wealth to support such spending and indulgence?

This question is of course incomprehensible to those young people who are still thinking about how to get rich overnight, but for the new aristocrats who also live in West Egg or other upper classes who come to the party, they know the answer but are not obligated to explain it to those young people.

As for Wang Yi, it was through Winston that he learned more about this brother's rise to wealth.

This is the manager of Meyer Wolfsheim, the current number one bootlegger in New York City. He is responsible for brewing and selling bootleg liquor under Prohibition. With Gatsby's talent and hard work, this bootlegger's bootleg liquor business has expanded across the country. Although this bootlegger's business is not limited to selling bootleg liquor, he must admit that because of the efforts of Gatsby, a professional manager, he has amassed huge wealth for him in the nearly ten years since the Prohibition was issued, and he is truly rich.

In return, Gatsby, as a professional manager, naturally received dividends from the huge profits from the sale of bootleg liquor every year. This dividend, combined with his own keen business sense, also turned him into a nouveau riche who was looked down upon by the old aristocrats and envied by many young Americans.

It can be said that he was the best spokesperson for the American dream during the turbulent decade of 1919-1929.

Holding a wine glass in hand, she walked with Winston in the center of the bustling banquet hall. Looking in the direction Winston pointed, she saw the young rich man Gatsby on the second floor of the stage. He had a typical blond white appearance. Beside this young rich man, there were two men and one woman. The men were in suits and the woman was in gorgeous clothes. The young rich man was talking to these three people, but his eyes were always on his female companion.

"That's James Buchanan, heir to the famous Buchanan family, Mr. Wick."

"James Buchanan, the James Buchanan family I know?"

"That's the family of President James Buchanan."

"If that's the case, then I can indeed understand why this Ms. Daisy Buchanan has not yet chosen to agree to our Mr. Gatsby and divorce her husband. After all, he is just rich, but her husband is more than just rich."

James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, signed the Treaty of Tianjin with the Qing Dynasty during his presidency.

As the heir of such a family, it is no wonder that this old nobleman with the same name and surname as his ancestor looked down on Gatsby, a nouveau riche who made his fortune as a bootlegger and on Wall Street. Because if nothing unexpected happened, Gatsby might have worked hard all his life and just barely reached the threshold of wealth accumulation of other people's family. However, there are always accidents.

"Okay, now that we've met the person, go back. He will become our professional manager before Christmas."

"Why are you so sure, Mr. Wick?"

"Because only I can provide him with a chance for revenge. Only I can help him make a comeback and pay back the injustice and humiliation he has suffered."

After listening to Wang Yi's words, Winston didn't ask any more questions. He finished the wine in the glass, followed Wang Yi out of Mr. Gatsby's mansion and drove away.

After telling Winston again not to rush the new wine to market, Wang Yi left, because in the coming period of time, there would not be much for him to do in the identity of John Wick.

As Wang Yi, he was often invited by the crazy scientist Tesla to the Behemoth Consortium to do various tests for him in the laboratory on Fifth Avenue in New York.

In other words, Wang Yi was helping Tesla, the great scientist, to conduct experiments to see if he could use his physical body combined with electromagnetic force to replicate Tesla's research results from the first half of his life.

These included radio communications, AC power supply, radar testing... Every achievement made Tesla very excited, because many of his research results in the first half of his life, those materials, and manuscripts were lost in a fire in the laboratory. In addition, the interruption of his own major project, the Wardenclyffe Tower, dealt a huge blow to his body and mind, including his career, which made him basically live in a difficult period for the second half of his life, and his old age was uncertain.

Many things are just an idea or a theory, but you can no longer find sponsorship to help implement them.

But now it is different. Wang Yi's various replication operations saved Tesla a lot of effort, allowing him to reorganize the research results of his first half of his life in the shortest time. It also made him more confident in persuading the board of directors of the Behemoth Foundation to fund the reconstruction of the Wardenclyffe Tower for him.

As for Wang Yi, he also gained a lot.

Because after a whole October, he was able to use his human magnetic field as a telegraph to communicate with others.

The experimental subjects were naturally himself, Tesla, and Chamberlain, the head of the Behemoth Foundation. The principle was very simple. He remembered the electrical signals in the body of Tesla, the great scientist, and in his own residence, he entered a state of meditation and resonated with the magnetic field of heaven and earth. He captured Tesla's electrical signals 40 kilometers away, and projected the message he wanted to transmit directly into the minds of Tesla and Chamberlain through the magnetic field of heaven and earth.

This was a very novel experience for Wang Yi. He appeared in the spiritual world of the two people like a ghost, talking and conversing with them.

In the process of receiving the signal transmitted by Wang Yi, it will not have any impact on Tesla and Qian Bo. They only feel that Wang Yi's image suddenly appears in their minds, and there is sound.

This method has a nice name in the circle of supernatural beings in the Republic of China, called "Gods Entering Dreams".

At first, Wang Yi had only seen this method from the old woman surnamed Liu in Quanxing. His method was similar to that of the old woman surnamed Liu in Quanxing, but it was better.

Because according to the explanation of the face-man Liu, when Granny Liu notified the Quanxing disciples through the dream-entering Dafa, the Quanxing disciples who received the information inevitably had to enter a state of concentration in order to talk to Granny Liu in the dream. However, Wang Yi did not need the target of the signal to enter a state of concentration to receive it, and it would not affect what he was doing at the time.

Using mobile phones to describe the difference between Wang Yi and this Quan Xing Liu Pozi, Wang Yi's phone is a smart phone, which can send WeChat messages and force calls according to the other party's situation, forcing the other party to stop the work at hand and answer the call. Liu Pozi is a mobile phone that can only make calls, and the other party cannot choose to refuse the call, and can only be forced to communicate with Liu Pozi in dreams.

However, in terms of communication distance, Wang Yi was not sure how far he could reach, because he was in the United States at the moment. As an industrial country, New York was full of radio communication base stations and radio stations. As long as he wanted, he could enter a state of meditation or leave his body, and with the help of the radio stations and base stations in New York covering the entire New York, he could communicate with anyone by radio.

But back in the Republic of China, Wang Yi currently cannot test how far his method can cover.

Moreover, in Wang Yi's opinion, his method is not just for communication, it can also be used to kill the enemy.

As for how to kill the enemy, hey, how do harassing calls make people upset, Wang Yi uses this trick to kill the enemy. However, when facing harassing calls on mobile phones, you can set unknown call blocking or change the phone card and turn on the flight mode to deal with it. When facing such harassing calls that directly target the spirit, unless one's own life cultivation is profound, he can turn himself into an impermeable golden body to block this kind of mental harassment.

Otherwise, the only option left was to shut down the phone and change the card. After arriving in New York for more than a month, Wang Yi was naturally happy to have an additional method for communication and killing.

As for Qian Bol, who witnessed Wang Yi learning this method, he could only learn to get used to it, get used to Wang Yi, a monster in the alien circle, doing all kinds of things that he couldn't understand, and then write a report on these operations he witnessed and hand it over to the directors of the Behemoth Foundation for them to deal with.

He had also made up his mind that no matter what attitude the other directors in the consortium had towards Wang Yi, at least their family would not do anything to challenge Wang Yi. Having witnessed Wang Yi's methods with his own eyes, he knew very well that the methods the other party possessed were enough to easily wipe out all the members of their family without even taking a breath.

Compared with Wang Yi, these fake aliens created by artificial means or real innate aliens have all become ordinary people.

Sure enough, after Qian Boer handed over the data report obtained from various tests conducted by Wang Yi and Tesla over the past month to the board of directors of the Behemoth Foundation, the Behemoth Foundation, an alien organization that can only be regarded as a makeshift team in the United States, began to have disputes because of Tesla's million-dollar funding proposal and the means that Wang Yi possessed at the time.

Tesla was a geek with all his skill points in science. He would not consider how much psychological impact his allowing Wang Yi to master the method of using the human body as a radio transmission would have on the directors, who were just ordinary people.

They are not stupid. In some ways, they have a good strategic vision. After reading the descriptions of Wang Yi's method in the two reports by Tesla and Qian Bo, they only know one thing, that is, once they have friction with the other party and really start fighting, ordinary people like them will not even know how they died.

As of now, they have no effective countermeasures to deal with Wang Yi's skill.

Although they successfully recruited a group of new mutants from another mutant organization, Ant Nest, with the help of Wang Yi, and also obtained the reagent samples used by Ant Nest to transform ordinary people into mutants, a group of mutants who could not even withstand thermal weapons and could only act as vanguards were far less direct than Wang Yi alone.

The problem now is that they want Tesla to master the technological technology of the next thirty years in advance through research on Wang Yi, and they also want to have a few more aliens on their side who are not as good as Wang Yi, but at least have one tenth of Wang Yi's strength, even if they are artificial.

"Professor Tesla, you want us to provide you with one million dollars to rebuild your tower. Okay, but you have to tell us what this Wang Yi can bring to our Behemoth after the tower is built."

At the meeting, a director came straight to the point. Seeing that Tesla had become somewhat wealthy now that his financial situation was no longer tight and his food and health had improved, a director wanted to get an accurate answer from him.

"Wireless power transmission technology. This was my original intention when I built the Wardenclyffe Tower. The tower was never completed. Although there were unexpected accidents, I also knew that the funds and manpower required to complete this research would be astronomical. Even if there hadn't been a fire that burned down my laboratory, I think the project would have been forced to stop."

"Since you know all that..."

"But it's different now. I can be sure of one thing, that is, Wang Yi, this extraordinary person, can turn my theory of wireless power transmission into reality. As long as he can make it a reality, I can find a way to turn this theory into reality. Think about it, this technology that can reduce the loss of electricity during transmission, once it is applied in practice, how much benefit can your Behemoth Foundation gain from it? Isn't it worth your investment in me?"

"Why should we believe you can do it? You are 71 years old, Professor Tesla."

"Because I am Nikola Tesla, and because I am the first person in the world to master the two fundamental forces of electromagnetism and gravity."

"Then I have another question, Professor Tesla. Do you think Wang Yi will let you develop this technology? In other words, can you guarantee that you will get the research results of wireless power transmission technology before Wang Yi masters this wireless power transmission technology in his physical body? Or can you apply this technology to the human body like Wang Yi did? Let our aliens also master this ability."

Having said that, even if Tesla has a low EQ, he can still hear the hidden meaning.

The Behemoth Foundation knew that Wang Yi and they were not on the same page, and they also knew that Tesla and they were not on the same page, but Tesla was nothing more than a great scientist, just a 71-year-old man, and they, the Behemoth Foundation, had plenty of ways to deal with Tesla. But Wang Yi, an alien who mastered electromagnetic force and gravity, was no match for them. If they let the other party master this technology first, then they, the Behemoth Foundation, would have to consider how much it would cost to keep this guy in the United States.

They couldn't allow such a monster to return to the Republic of China, as this would cause losses to their Behemoth Group's interests in China.

"Your questions make me sick. The only thing I can guarantee is that your Behemoth Foundation will master this technology before I die. As for how to apply the wireless power transmission technology to Inhumans, you must first find me an Inhuman body as strong as Wang Yi. So for now, if you want to gain benefits from Wang Yi and me, you must invest first, and also pray that I live a long life."

After these words, Tesla, who already had a feud with the Behemoth Group, left the table angrily, leaving this hot potato to the Behemoth Group to resolve on their own.

A group of Behemoth Group directors who controlled a lot of resources and funds frowned at this time. The one million US dollars Tesla asked for was a huge sum of money, but if one million US dollars could be exchanged for the research results of wireless power transmission technology, then this business was worth doing, because the moment they mastered this technology, it was equivalent to monopolizing the world's electricity.

But the problem right now lies with Wang Yi. Qian Bo's observation report on Wang Yi is right in front of him. This stranger from a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country was not intimidated or attracted by the American industrial civilization.

In this way, they became the passive party in the cooperation with Wang Yi. They had to consider a problem: what to do if the United States, represented by their Behemoth Consortium, confronted Wang Yi when it wanted to divide the Republic of China.

The other party attacked once, and the base of their alien organization Ant Nest was in name only, bringing 45 new soldiers to their Behemoth Consortium. Until now, the Ant Nest has not figured out who did it. And the various abilities displayed at the moment are also telling them that he may not be able to deal with an industrial power, but it is easy to kill them. No one wants to die, especially when the other party does have the ability to kill them.

Just as the directors of the major families that made up the Behemoth Group remained silent, the most powerful one spoke.

"Chamber, regarding Professor Tesla's project to rebuild the Wardenclyffe Tower, you will be in charge of coordinating with Professor Tesla on site selection and funding. You will do whatever he says. If you have any questions, come to me and I will approve it for you. Everyone, the reason why we asked Dr. Hendler to contact Wang Yi was that we were thinking about how to use him to make our Behemoth Foundation stronger."

"But Mr. Taylor..."

"You are betting one million dollars that we will master a technology that is beyond the current era. If you don't pay this amount of money, our family will pay it. As for whether we will have friction with Wang Yi in the future because of this, that is a matter for the future. At least now our Behemoth Foundation needs Wang Yi and this wireless power transmission technology. It has been decided. Qian Boer, go and have a good talk with Professor Tesla."

Looking at the director named Taylor and the representatives around him who had been persuaded by Director Taylor, Qian Bo said nothing more and left the meeting room.

Director Taylor then continued, "Send one of your men to tell the guys at Ant Nest that the one who destroyed their base was a Chinese alien named Wang Yi."

"Mr. Taylor?"

"Haven't we already said that if we want our Behemoth Corporation to become stronger, we need Wang Yi's power. We have to let Ant Nest fight Wang Yi so that we can collect data. And I really want to know whether monsters like him can bleed."
-
Wang Yi was not aware that he was about to be strengthened in Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower. He was busy with another matter of his alter ego John Wick, recruiting the Great Gatsby to be his professional manager.

At this time, Wang Yi still had the face of a middle-aged uncle like John Wick, but he had his long hair cut and beard shaved by the barber of his own Continental Hotel, which had not yet been completed. He also made some slight adjustments to his facial muscles and looked younger.

An Italian-style suit with two buttons and narrow-leg trousers.

Next to Wang Yi and Winston were all kinds of gossip that the New York tabloids had reported over the past month about Gatsby, the upstart living in West Egg on Long Island, New York, and Mrs. Buchanan of the Buchanan family in East Egg.

"How do I look, Winston?"

"You look like a dying angel, Mr. Wick."
