Chapter 1 New York, The Suitcase

On a cruise ship sailing on the sea, a cute little girl was running on the deck of the cruise ship, letting out a series of cheerful laughter.

"Cousin, come on! You can see New York in front of you!" The little girl called her relatives in Chinese that most people on the cruise ship couldn't understand. At the same time, she put one hand on the beautiful top hat on her head to avoid

It was blown away by the wind.

This hat was given to her by her cousin, whom the little girl was talking about. It was handmade by the best milliner from London. The little girl liked it very much and naturally didn't want it to be blown away by the sea breeze.

Some white men around noticed the little girl. Although racial discrimination was very serious in this era, the little girl was dressed in hand-made European upper-class clothes, and although she had an oriental face, it could still be seen at a glance that she had a good and privileged life.

The tender and smooth skin that can only be cultivated under certain conditions is enough to show that the identity of the little girl is not simple.

Therefore, nothing unpleasant happened. On the contrary, several men who were originally surrounding the railing politely gave up their positions, allowing the little girl to lie on the railing and see from the nearest distance what was gradually appearing in front of her.

New York City at sea level.

The time now is the beginning of the 20th century, a time when the U.S. economy is booming.

This can be seen from the tall buildings that gradually appear on the sea level in the distance. Without a prosperous economy and developed industry, urban infrastructure construction of this scale cannot be carried out.

"Be careful Yi Xi, don't get too close to the railing, be careful of falling." A male voice came from behind the little girl, and a man wearing a long windbreaker and holding a black cane decorated with silver walked away.

He came over and stood behind the little girl.

Like most men's attire at this time, wearing a top hat, a long windbreaker and a suit, and well-polished leather shoes were almost the standard for men's attire in this era.

However, depending on the status and social class, the details are somewhat different.

For example, during this period, most middle-class men wore bowler hats and Humboldt hats, while those below the middle class wore soft felt hats. As for workers and lower social classes, most of the hats they wore were eight-piece hats.

.

Therefore, in this era, one's economic status and social status can be judged by one's clothing and appearance. There will not be any plot where a small person offends a big boss and then pretends to be a slap in the face.

After all, a set of clothes that are made of fine materials, tailor-made, and hand-made is quite valuable.

Just like in New York, buying a ready-made suit that is not hand-made and sold in the window is about 20 US dollars, and the value of 20 US dollars in this era is about one ounce of gold.

At this time, the average hourly wage of American workers was 22 cents, and their annual income was about 200-400 US dollars. A set of clothes was equivalent to one-tenth of their annual income.

And this is just an ordinary suit, not a luxury-level handmade custom suit.

Not to mention accessories such as diamond cuffs, gemstone brooches, antique pocket watches, gold collar braces, etc. Even the middle class's annual income cannot afford the whole set.

However, although there are no overly luxurious accessories on the man in front of him, for knowledgeable people, just by looking at it, they can estimate that the old-looking black heather-inlaid silver cane in his hand can at least hold up a worker.

A year of hard work.

Obviously, both this man and the little girl in front of him have extraordinary backgrounds, as well as quite favorable and good economic conditions.

Several gentlemen beside the man greeted him politely and tried to strike up a conversation. After all, they were just ordinary middle-class people. If they could establish a relationship with this man who looked like a big shot at first sight, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to them.

helpful.

However, the man's attitude was relatively cold. He just politely accepted their business cards and did not engage in further conversation.

These gentlemen also wisely stepped aside, leaving a small space for the man and the little girl.

"Little girl, don't forget what you promised me. If you are naughty, I will send you back." The man reminded the little girl in a low voice to prevent her from being too out of touch and causing unnecessary trouble.

Although the little girl was excited because she came out to play, she was still well-behaved and did not feel dissatisfied with the man's reminder. She just turned around and said well-behaved: "I know, cousin Chen Mo! Why are you more verbose than dad?"

Yeah! I won’t be naughty and I will definitely listen to you!”

Obviously, the man is Chen Mo, who has just succeeded in becoming a god, and the little girl is his niece, Chen Yu and Chen Yixi, the daughter of Hiromi Jonouchi.

This is the uncle taking his niece, whom he met for the first time, on a trip together. The only difference is that they are not traveling to a certain place, but to a certain world.

Originally, Chen Mo just wanted to take a vacation, let his body stay in the God Realm to continue to gather divine power and divinity, and at the same time further consolidate the state of the God Realm and himself, and then use his divine power to incarnate to be lazy and find a world to have fun for a while.

of.

But when he met his little niece who came to Egypt with Hiromi Jonouchi because of the summer vacation, at the niece's request, Chen Mo took the little niece with him after thinking about it for the first time.

Already.

What they are heading to now is New York, the United States, in the early 20th century, which was the most prosperous and vibrant city in the world at this time.

Of course, this world is not simply the world of the early 20th century, and it is impossible for Chen Mo to take his little niece to an ordinary world.

"Cousin, you told me that there are fun things in this world, is that true? So far, I haven't seen any fun things anywhere!" Xiao Yixi is already twelve years old this year, although she is still

She is a little girl, but she is also tall and graceful. She has inherited all the advantages of both her parents and has an attractive face. At this moment, she speaks in a coquettish tone, and even Chen Mo can't stand it.

He had to take his little niece to look at a young man sitting on the deck at this time, pointed at the man wearing a blue windbreaker and carrying a suitcase, and said to his little niece with a reserved look: "Yixi, pay attention to him.

suitcase."

After hearing this, Xiao Yixi looked towards the man's suitcase. At first glance, she didn't think it was anything special. However, as Xiao Yixi used the talent she inherited from her mother and opened her eyes of true seeing, she

She immediately saw that there was a huge space in the box, filled with a large number of interesting creatures that she had never seen before.

Looking at those magical and interesting creatures, the little girl's eyes lit up. This suddenly aroused her great interest. She wanted to rush over and say to the man: "Sir, can I see your box?"

?”

Especially when Xiao Yixi noticed that there were some silver bird and snake eggs in the box that were about to hatch, she became even more excited. She wanted to see the little animals hatch out of the eggs.

But just when Xiao Yixi was about to take action, Chen Mo reached out and held her shoulders, reminding her in a low voice: "Don't forget what you promised me."

Xiao Yixi couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on her face, but thinking that she had indeed promised her cousin not to mess around, and that she would only be allowed to go out to play with him if she listened to his words, the little girl could only resist her impulse,

I just stared at that magical suitcase eagerly.

"Cousin, can you help me make a box like that?" Since she couldn't touch other people's boxes, the little girl immediately thought of having a similar box herself.

To the little girl, this request was just like a niece asking her cousin for a gift, and it was not an excessive request.

In Xiao Yixi's opinion, getting a suitcase like this is as simple as seeing an interesting souvenir and wanting to buy one when traveling.

After all, although there was a couple who insisted on raising her as an ordinary person, they could not hide that they were both parents of gods. Even if Xiao Yixi lived an ordinary life, she could still see many existences with extraordinary power.

Especially since her parents still have their own private space, Xiao Yixi has long been envious and wants to have one.

Although her silly father who doted on his daughter had built a beautiful island in space for her when Yi Xi was a little baby and created a fairy tale world for her, little Yi Xi still hopes to have a place of her own.

Your own little world.

But her parents did not satisfy her little wish because they did not want Yi Xi to behave too special and be too different from her classmates.

This also made Xiao Yixi only dare to make this request to her cousin who was very good to her even though it was just her first meeting.

Hearing Xiao Yixi's request, Chen Mo thought for a while and said: "If Yixi you are obedient today, then I will help you make a similar suitcase. His one is not too big, and I can help you make a beautiful one."

Put the island in your suitcase!”

"That's great! As expected, cousin, you are the best! I will definitely be obedient today!" Xiao Yixi cheered, turned around and hugged her cousin.

The two of them had been talking in Chinese, so in the eyes of the people around them, it was just a little girl acting coquettishly at her parents, and they didn't attract much attention.

While the two were talking, the huge cruise ship had already sailed into the port and was docking slowly.

In this era, cruise ships that can cross the Atlantic are still a very spectacular and important means of transportation, especially since aircraft shipping has not yet developed at this time, and Zeppelin airships have also been abandoned due to safety issues. Cruise ships are the most popular means of transportation.

Things that reflect the prosperity of the industrial age are undoubtedly highly sought after.

In addition, cruise ships carry a large number of passengers, so every time a cruise ship docks in this era, it is a spectacular scene of huge crowds of people.

However, unlike ordinary passengers who have to squeeze in and out of the crowd, Chen Mo and Yi Xi, who purchased the highest first-class tickets, enjoy the privilege of getting off the ship first.

This is all too common in this era, even a hundred years later.

In this country, the rich can always enjoy more privileges.

He took out his prepared passport and handed it to the polite customs inspector. After the other party's symbolic inspection, Chen Mo took Xiao Yixi's hand and passed through the customs without any difficulty throughout the process.

This is unimaginable for ordinary people, but in the eyes of the rich, it is perfectly normal. After all, the entire country serves them, right?

After leaving the dock, other wealthy businessmen or people from the upper class who disembarked with Chen Mo and the others got on their own vehicles and left. At this time, cars had become popular in the United States, but horse-drawn carriages had not disappeared. Some old-school people still

I like horse-drawn carriages, a safer means of transportation.

At this point, Chen Mo also liked old-fashioned carriages, so he prepared four astonishingly expensive thoroughbred horses and a beautifully decorated aristocratic carriage.

This has also attracted the attention of many people. You must know that even among the upper class, raising four thoroughbred horses to pull carts is still a very luxurious act, and the annual expenses are quite large.

This also caused many people to speculate as to where this noble man came from.

Because those who have this kind of style and background are usually old European aristocrats. Although the new wealthy people in the United States have the financial resources, they do not have the background.

"Cousin, where are we going now?" Sitting on the carriage, Xiao Yixi opened the window and looked out at the foreign city that was new and unfamiliar to her, and asked Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo just smiled and stuck a monocle on his left eye, and then said with a smile: "Yixi, don't you want to see what interesting scenes that suitcase will stage in this city?"

"Think about it! But nothing will happen soon, right?" Xiao Yixi suddenly became interested, but she felt a little hesitant.

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but just looked at the exit of the port. Soon a blue figure carrying a suitcase appeared, walking hurriedly along the street.

It can be seen that the other party must be relatively poor, or not very adaptable to the Muggle mode of transportation, and is more accustomed to using his own legs.

Seeing the appearance of this figure, Xiao Yixi suddenly became excited and hurriedly shook Chen Mo's arm, asking him to quickly let the carriage follow.

Chen Mo did not refute Xiao Yixi's wishes. He tapped the carriage twice with his stick, and then gave an order. The strictly trained groom drove the carriage and followed the blue figure, slowly and slowly.

Moving forward.

Perhaps because of his walking, the man wearing a blue windbreaker and carrying a suitcase didn't go far. He just turned two blocks and arrived in front of a bank.

At this time, a large number of people gathered in front of the bank, and among the crowd, a mean-looking woman wearing a black hat was delivering a speech, and a group of children beside her were handing out leaflets.

Among them, the big boy carrying a flag particularly attracted Chen Mo's attention, and Chen Mo felt a huge and imprisoned power from him.
