"But on this trip, I found an exclusive guest from hell to invite to my show. Guess who it is?"

"Our Meile Sect! John Fitzgerald Kennedy! The 35th President of the United States!"

"Let's get happy!"

The players in the bar of the office burst out laughing, while the clueless natives watched them in confusion, not knowing what was so funny.

More than the laughter, they were concerned that someone dared to claim to be John F. Kennedy, which felt really strange.

Brother Dao: "Are you laughing?"

Meile Sect: "Laughing, definitely laughing. I'm laughing to death, how could I not laugh?"

Brother Dao: "Audience, remember not to be in a convertible when you're laughing, and keep the windows closed, or else if a sniper blows your skull off, you won't get it back."

When Li De heard the identity of the guest, he had a bad premonition, and also thought, what kind of hell joke is this?

Last episode was the Emperor of Japan, and now it's New America's turn?

Brother Dao: "We all want to know, as a former President of the United States, how do you view the setting (plight) of New America in the game (today)?"

Meile Sect: "Oh, my god, it's terrible, absolutely horrible. Every day in hell, I pray for Jesus to cover my eyes so I don't have to witness this ghostly future. But you know, that's pushing it for Jesus."

Brother Dao: "Maybe Jesus should ask military technology for help to get a prosthetic limb, but unfortunately even Jesus's life is only worth 30 silver coins, he can't afford the latest prosthetics."

"Perhaps the ones giving him the loan would still be the Jews."

Bang!

The priest listening to the radio in the bedroom suddenly crushed the wine glass in his hand, spilling red wine all over himself.

Meile Sect: "Do you know what the funniest thing in this world is?"

Brother Dao: "What?"

Meile Sect: "The Soviet Union beat us to it and launched a war on the Middle East, using nuclear bombs to flatten the earth's biggest oil shovel site, but the biggest beneficiary of that war was the United States."

"Because we saved the Twin Towers!"

Brother Dao took a deep breath, "Hiss!!!"

"You mean..."

Meile Sect: "Maybe we can find a time, you know, to take two planes and visit New York for a tour, to experience the local culture."

"It's the greatest achievement! A major historical event, how could we miss it?"

The bar burst into a clamorous uproar

"There's potential in this, damn!"

"When will the New York map open, I can't wait any longer."

"My father is the greatest pilot in the Middle East, I'll have to fly that plane when the time comes, alright?"

"Get out, do you even know how to fly a plane?"

"If not, I can learn. There are only two buildings, if others hit them, they'll be gone!"

"Damn, if we piss off the Americans, what if they protest?"

"Protest my ass, even the towers themselves haven't spoken, what are they talking about?"

The upheavals in both worlds began with WWII, but didn't start veering off course until the seventies, with differences emerging in the eighties and nineties, and completely exploding at the end of the century.

So it didn't affect the construction of the Twin Towers in New York in the seventies, nor did the subsequent splits and wars affect it. The Twin Towers still stand in the World Trade Center to this day.

The players can't help but be excited.

Brother Dao: "Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

"Comrade Meile Sect, what do you think about New America reaching its current state?"

Meile Sect: "I'd say they brought it upon themselves. I have to commend the game's worldview for having considerable logic, with most changes traceable and more reasonable instead of just made up on a whim."

"The decline and division of New America were foreshadowed the day I was shot, but no one cared."

"The successor wasn't even Lyndon Johnson or Nixon, but some dimwit I'd never heard of."

"They continued to use the Bretton Woods system, not decoupling the US Dollar from gold, leading to severe deflation of the US Dollar, losing its position as the world currency, allowing the Soviet Union to flatten the Middle East and let Soviet Petrochemical grow larger than the government, fully embracing capitalism. While the EU, the birthplace of prosthetics, reached out to Soviet Petrochemical instead of stopping it and turned to fight Latin America, causing the Euro to tie with oil and Chun Er first, flooding the market and further squeezing the US Dollar out of existence, resulting in the Cold War ending in America's defeat and division, not the Soviet Union's."

"It's hard to believe the people in the White House at that time had a head on their shoulders and not a pile of crap."

"If I were alive, I'd definitely use my pointy shoes to kick those idiot congressmen's butts hard."

"But thinking about it, it was probably my being shot in the head by the lunatic gunman that scared the crap out of those congressmen, or else they wouldn't have allowed the Gang of Four to establish a shadow government, paralyzing the entire US decision-making body."

"And guess what I found in an elementary school student's reader in Night City?"

Brother Dao: "It can't be..."

Meile Sect: "I'll tell you sure you've read it, ahem..."

He clears his throat and recites from the extracurricular reading

"In the distant west, there's a country called Japan, and there's an unwritten rule in Japan's restaurant industry that plates in a restaurant must be washed seven times with water. My fellow student, who only washed them five times, was fired by the boss for dishonesty."

Brother Dao: "OHHH, don't tell me the author is a Night City native."

Meile Sect: "Hahahaha, you heard it right, the author is from New America, and that the neon toilet water can be drunk directly, that there are components wrapped in German oil paper in Night City's sewers, and that the EU prime minister ordered a nationwide blackout just to keep one bird..."
