Uptown, Lin Feng walked through this part of 1930s America, which already had some semblance of modern society.

The occasional cars on the streets were all early vintage models, but they were the most amazing technology of the era.

Lin Feng weaved through the passing pedestrians, stopping at a newsstand, his eyes scanning the dates on the newspapers.

"1926... 1926 in the wizarding world. It seems Harry Potter hasn't been born yet at this time, and even his parents are probably just children."

Lin Feng wasn't sure; he didn't know much about the world of Harry Potter.

His strongest impressions were a wand, a magic broom, then the various houses, and that strange Quidditch game.

Aside from that, it was all about magic cast with incantations.

His knowledge of Harry Potter came from the movies, but he hadn't watched them very closely.

However, Lin Feng vaguely remembered that the Harry Potter film series also had the Fantastic Beasts series, and the movies seemed to take place around this time.

"I didn't expect to come to this world. But the Time Stone shouldn't be here, right? However, the original main Marvel world had parallel universes, which now seems to have been created by the Ancient One before she died. That woman has the ability.

But... it's unlikely she'd create a Harry Potter, right..."

Lin Feng pondered with some uncertainty. If the Time Stone wasn't in this world, then he could go back now.

But what if it was? Who knew where the Time Stone might have ended up?

If he couldn't find this last gem, Lin Feng wouldn't be able to help Sun Wukong return to the Central Plains.

He also wouldn't be able to test whether the power of the six gems could allow him to return to the real world.

In any case, whether it was here or not, he would have to stay longer in each world he traveled to in the future and search carefully.

Lin Feng wandered aimlessly in this area, his eyes, like magnificent stars behind gold-rimmed glasses, observing the world.

He was using his Eyes of the Universe to search for the Time Stone's whereabouts.

But there was too much magic in this world. Many places were using magic to block Lin Feng's vision, and he couldn't even see through some people, like a window covered with various stickers, unable to see the full outline outside.

"There's no choice. I'll have to search slowly. At this time, it should be Newt, just arrived in New York, and then he met a baker, and then..."

Lin Feng stood in front of the newsstand, not buying a newspaper.

He pursed his lips and pondered, his quiet demeanor exuding a gentle, refined air from the East.

Unlike the solemn and noble aura of the gentlemen here, Lin Feng gave the impression of an ancient jade that remained as new as ever after being tempered by time.

This charming and unique temperament was like a lighthouse on the sea, bright and full of attraction, wherever he went.

"Sir! Sir?!"

The newsstand owner saw that Lin Feng, though with a unique temperament, was just standing in front of his stand, looking but not buying, and thought he was trying to take advantage.

So he immediately called out to wake Lin Feng from his thoughts.

"Are you buying? If not, please put it down."

Only then did Lin Feng realize that he had unknowingly picked up a newspaper.

He put it down and gave the newsstand owner a smile.

Then he turned and left decisively. He didn't have the money of this era, so what would he buy with?

Lin Feng walked aimlessly through the crowd, when suddenly his eyes lit up, because he saw a somewhat familiar fat man walking with a suitcase, his mind seemingly a bit dazed.

He looked like he had been frightened by something.

But Lin Feng recognized this guy, a cook known as the Chosen One.

He had been planning to use his family's baking skills to get a bank loan, but he ran into Newt and accidentally entered the door to the magical world.

This guy was an important figure in connecting with Newt, and Newt's suitcase of fantastic beasts was also a great attraction to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng quietly followed the fat man, Jacob.

He returned all the way to his apartment. Jacob opened the door and looked at the dilapidated house with peeling walls. Without much scrutiny, one could feel an air of poverty.

Jacob closed the door, and he returned to his small room with some disappointment.

He put the suitcase on the bed, then sat next to it, looking up at the photo of his grandmother hanging on the wall, the disappointment in his heart like a fire with added firewood, even greater.

"Grandma, I'm afraid I won't be able to promote our bread."

As Jacob fell into endless disappointment, the brown suitcase next to him suddenly began to vibrate strangely.

Crack! Crack!

"Ooooh!"

"Squeak! Squeak!"

"Roar!"

At the same time, strange sounds came from inside the suitcase, like some kind of animal, but it seemed like more than one kind.

Jacob temporarily suppressed his disappointment. He looked at the brown suitcase next to him, and a bad idea vaguely formed in his mind.

After he met that strange person with strange abilities, he was somehow taken out of the bank by that strange guy.

Jacob remembered that he used his clever wit to grab the suitcase and knock the guy out, then successfully ran away.

But he couldn't remember if he had picked up his own suitcase or not.

"Could it be... I grabbed the wrong one?"

Jacob had this thought, then reached out with a trembling hand to tentatively touch the suitcase that was starting to move erratically.

Click!

Suddenly, with a crisp snapping sound, the two latches on the suitcase sprang open, and the suitcase popped open like a clasp.

Jacob stared in amazement at the dark interior of the suitcase; this was definitely not his suitcase.

And it wasn't like any known suitcase on the market, because no suitcase had an inside like a tunnel-like black hole.

"What... the hell?"

Jacob looked suspiciously at the open suitcase, glancing into the black tunnel.

Suddenly!

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

A fleshy-colored animal about the size of a Teddy bear jumped out, making sounds similar to a rat, but coarser.

This bizarre animal had the appearance of a rodent, but with fleshy growths like sea anemones all over its body.

This thing seemed to have a very explosive temper, and as soon as it appeared, it lunged at Jacob, screaming.

With its riotous appearance, it was a good thing Jacob had been in the army and reacted quickly, immediately grabbing the little creature.

However, quite a few animals seemed to be flying out of the suitcase on the bed.

Some were invisible, and some were very small.

They moved quickly and left within a few breaths.

And one of the larger creatures directly blew up Jacob's last remaining room, leaving the place.

His bare walls were immediately reduced to three.

Jacob had no time to pay attention to his house at this moment; he was very afraid of being bitten by this strange rat in front of him.

Just then, a fair, almost poreless hand suddenly reached out from the side and easily grabbed the fleshy rat.

Lin Feng grabbed the struggling Murtlap, watching it thrash and squirm in his hand, even biting his thumb.

He then gently flicked the rat's forehead with his other hand.

Boing!!!

Lin Feng tried to control his strength so as not to use too much force. After being bopped on the head by Lin Feng, the Murtlap immediately fainted.
