Time passed.
The building, which had been under construction for some time, was now complete.
Levi chose an auspicious day to move Future Industries there.
This building would serve as the location for subsidiary companies in the future.
The main company would move to the new building.
Of course, important equipment and the like had already been moved, and a sturdy underground fortress had been built.
The Red Queen's mainframes and other equipment were placed there.
"Mr. Levi!"
Bumblebee arrived at the new building's entrance, where a group of reporters was already waiting.
They frantically pressed their shutters, eager to interview Levi.
Levi gestured for them to quiet down, and they quickly complied.
After all, a noisy commotion meant no one would get valuable news.
"Mr. Levi, why did you choose such a day for the relocation?"
A female reporter with wavy hair shoved a microphone forward.
Today was September 11th, and anyone prone to making associations would certainly feel uncomfortable.
Or rather, most people already felt uncomfortable.
Levi, however, said calmly, "Because we must never forget this day!"
Of course, it was because it was a good day!
He just couldn't say that.
Instead, he put on a solemn expression and began his performance.
Levi spoke for a bit in front of the cameras, then turned and went inside.
There was hardly any reputation left in this World.
Oasis had nearly drained it dry.
Saying more wouldn't do any good; only a fool would talk.
He looked up at the Future building, which had taken over a year to construct—a remarkably fast pace.
After all, it was even taller than the Empire State Building, nearly five hundred meters high.
It also had over 150 floors.
As for safety, there was no need to worry.
It was already well-built, and then a bit of Vibranium was added.
This was probably the safest building in New York.
After Levi entered, Gwen and the others immediately walked over: "Boss."
Hope, Mary Jane, and others were among them.
"Let's go up."
Levi nodded with satisfaction.
According to the design, the top floor had a helipad and a platform extending outwards.
The entire building was highly futuristic, with eight elevators that could go directly to different floors.
There were also hidden elevators for Levi's emergency use.
Levi didn't need to worry about security either; the Red Queen had already taken over the building.
For a building nearly five hundred meters tall, it took a considerable amount of time to reach the top.
They could choose whether the elevators were transparent or enclosed.
At this moment, Levi and the others stood in a transparent elevator, watching the ground grow increasingly distant and the objects below shrink into insignificance.
This feeling... was like ascending to heaven.
"Is it really necessary for the building to be this tall?"
President Hope asked with a strange expression.
"Of course."
Levi nodded, "In the past, when people came to New York, the landmark was the Empire State Building, but now it is the Future Building."
"Stark Industries' new building also aims for that," Hope said.
"But they were a step too late; it just makes them look like they're clumsily imitating," Levi said casually.
Being one step ahead of Tony Stark in everything would infuriate him!
Though there wasn't much to compare with Tony Stark anymore.
After all, Tony now frequently visited the Heavenly Palace.
He even offered advice.
Of course, the main thing was that they had many collaborations.
Arriving at the new office, it was nearly 200 square meters.
The layout and everything else were designed by Gwen.
"Are you satisfied?"
Gwen followed Levi in, looking expectant.
"Satisfied."
Levi nodded; he didn't have many demands.
As for the style and such, as long as it looked good, it was fine.
Gwen understood him well.
"Then I'll go pick them up now."
Gwen nodded and left directly.
Of course, she was going to pick up Eve and the others.
They hadn't seen the new office yet.
Levi went to the window, and with his excellent eyesight, he watched the bustling traffic below, feeling a bit emotional.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, but he never expected to change his fate by coming to the Marvel Universe.
This World was clearly very dangerous.
Of course, Levi couldn't say he was particularly safe now either.
After all, no one knew what the future held.
But that wasn't important; enjoying the present was paramount.
Many people neglected the present for the sake of the future.
Of course, this wouldn't happen in Oasis.
Previously, people from Congress approached Future Industries, wanting to shut down Oasis.
Of course, in reality, it was just to get a piece of the pie.
But what they said had already become a reality.
Because of Oasis, this'second World,' many cities in the real World had begun to decline.
If people weren't going out for life or work, they basically wouldn't leave their homes.
They preferred to spend all their time in Oasis.
This had a huge impact on the real economy.
People were no longer willing to consume, and even became unwilling to leave their homes.
Therefore, many capitalists blamed Future Industries for harming them.
Levi naturally wouldn't give up his interests.
He also suggested that they could open shops within Oasis.
In reality, these people themselves were also playing Oasis.
After all, compared to Oasis, which had infinite resources, infinite fun, and where one almost never felt bored.
The real World was simply too weak.
Many people put on VR equipment and could do anything in Oasis, whatever they wanted.
They could jump from dozens of stories high without dying, and even wear equipment to fly.
Compared to that, Real Life OL was indeed the weaker World, right?
Under these circumstances, if Oasis were really to be shut down, even more people would probably go crazy.
Even if Future Industries only leaked a little information, it would likely cause riots.
Levi had used this method to deter America before.
If they insisted on pressuring Future Industries, Levi could also make their terms in office end early.
In fact, Levi had already begun to control this nation.
The vast majority of people in America had entered Oasis, which meant Levi already controlled the votes.
As long as he had the Red Queen subtly hint in Oasis who to vote for, many people would follow suit.
This meant that anyone who wanted to be elected would have to depend on Levi's approval.
Thus, those in Washington who realized this all began to curry favor with Levi.
Levi had nothing good to say about these spineless individuals.
At this moment, he sat in his chair and entered Oasis to look at the scenery.
Other players came in to play games, but he played it like a grand strategy game, as if watching the sea.
Oasis was already realistic enough that some people even struggled to distinguish between the real and virtual Worlds because of it.
But what did that matter to Levi?
"Boss."
After Eve and the others came in, they also connected to Oasis, joining Levi to admire the scenery.
They didn't even need to wear any equipment; they just needed to connect with a data cable.
Many players ignored them, walking past towards the activity areas ahead.
Oasis would occasionally hold events to keep players active.
