Shout Out Your Name!

Friends Bar.

With Janice's explanation and Adam's additions, Marshall and Lily gained a deeper understanding of buying a house.

At last.

"Buying a house is the same as renting it out later."

Janice cautioned, "Don't rent to Black people, because it's easy to not get rent, even if it sounds good at first, and you never know what kind of people will end up in the house!"

Upon hearing this, Adam glanced at Janice.

Having traveled from 2020, he wholeheartedly agreed with these words.

That's obviously too absolute.

But it has to be said that the probability is just too high.

As an ordinary person, I wouldn't dare take that risk.

Do you know why many wealthy people are increasingly preferring to live outside the city center?

Adam questioned, "Are the truly poor people concentrated in the city? Is it really because the city environment is better? More suitable for living?"

No!

Instead, more and more relief stations and food banks are being set up in urban areas.

The homeless naturally gather outside these relief stations and food banks, living a 'good life' where they can have food as soon as they wake up.

When there are many homeless people and poor people gather, the rich people in the city feel uneasy and unhappy.

They won't say much, nor do they need to say much; they'll just take action.

On the one hand, they tacitly increased all expenses in specific areas to a level that ordinary people could not afford in order to deter others.

Many buildings are conventionally not sold or rented to African Americans or people they do not approve of.

On the other hand, the wealthy, who have unlimited choices, are moving out of the city and rebuilding their own small towns in the suburbs.

This has led to an interesting phenomenon called Urban Hollowing.

The city center, which should have been the heart of the city, is declining more and more.

The outer ring of cities, formed by wealthy towns built in the suburbs, has become the true urban core.

Once it develops to a certain extent, it will become another Detroit.

Isn't that interesting?

"..."

Marshall and the others were speechless.

Is this what you call interesting?

This is absolutely breathtakingly cyberpunk!

After chatting for a while longer, Adam and Janice left first.

Adam wanted to go to the hospital emergency room to see if he could save more lives.

Janice, however, was an outsider.

"Janice, I'm counting on you to help Marshall and Lily buy their house."

Outside the bar, Adam reminded Janice before saying goodbye.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help them find a house that they are satisfied with."

Janice patted her chest and assured her.

"Okay, thank you very much."

Adam handed Janice a business card and smiled, "You can call this number if you have any questions."

"Well!"

Janice got what she wanted most and couldn't help but let out her classic laugh, "Hehehe..."

"Goodbye."

Adam quickly made his escape.

He didn't want to hear that bewitching voice.

The next day.

New York.

The Action Film Expo is held as scheduled, Ted comes to investigate who is using his name to ruin his reputation.

"My God, are there really so many people?"

Ted looked at the crowded people and said incredulously.

"Certainly."

Barney, who was naturally present at the event, looked around and exclaimed happily, "This is New York! Who wouldn't love the exhilarating romance of New York?"

"Yes."

Ted waved awkwardly into the distance, chuckling to himself, "I just found out that our company's deputy HR manager also likes this..."

Emmm.

Running into an acquaintance in such a situation is truly an awkward experience that defies easy explanation.

However, he also understood why this colleague had that greasy and strange smile when they met at the company.

He didn't know that.

He then assumed he knew his male colleague was laughing because he had watched an action movie.

But now he has a deeper understanding.

He wouldn't be surprised if he saw this greasy colleague appear in some movies later on.

Because of love.

So I generate electricity out of love.

It was just a cameo appearance.

Very reasonable!

"Find this guy quickly!"

Ted stopped waving, withdrew his awkward yet polite smile, and said in exasperation.

If he doesn't act quickly, who knows what kind of acquaintances he might run into?

"There it is!"

Barney glanced around and quickly spotted the person in question.

The two went over immediately.

"Barney Stinson!"

Barney looked at the strange yet familiar man with amusement. "Your loyal fan, your 'Welcome aboard the Porn Air' is just too imaginative."

"Hehe, hello, where would you like to sign?"

This Action Starlet was very friendly and offered to sign autographs for Ted and the others.

"No rush, let me introduce myself. My name is Ted Mosby."

Ted stared into the Action Starlet's eyes and gave him a reminder.

"Where should I sign?"

The Action Starlet didn't react for a moment.

"I said I'm Ted Mosby!"

Ted gritted his teeth and reminded him again.

"Oh, oh! It's you!"

The Action Starlet only then realized what had happened, and instead of feeling embarrassed at being caught red-handed, he said happily.

"Why are you using my name?!"

Ted could no longer hold back and questioned him.

"Of course, it's to pay tribute to you!"

The Action Starlet exclaimed, "Do you remember helping a little boy on the playground in middle school? A group of older kids were surrounding him, trying to snatch the lollipop from his hand."

"Was that little boy you?"

Ted suddenly realized that the Action Starlet was genuinely happy and felt there might be more to the story, which calmed him down considerably.

"Yes, it's me!"

The Action Starlet nodded repeatedly. "You helped me out of that predicament. Although the lollipop fell to the ground and broke, I repaired it and have treasured it ever since. I even have it tattooed on my body. You guys must have noticed, right?"

As he spoke, he started to take off his pants.

"Alright, alright, we understand."

Ted was initially touched, but upon seeing the Action Starlet's move, he immediately lost his emotion.

"I knew that's what you meant by getting a lollipop tattoo there..."

Barney pointed at the Action Starlet, a mysterious smile spreading across his face, "Nice~"

He liked the story.

Another dramatic night is about to be added to his guide to picking up girls.

Ted, who was standing nearby, turned pale upon hearing this, especially after hearing Barney's murmured sighs and realizing that he was also part of the story. He felt terrible.

"Is this how you pay tribute to me?"

Ted was both amused and exasperated.

"Yes!"

The Action Starlet laughed and said, "I still remember your heroic figure when you came out and shouted 'Let go of that boy!' at those bad guys. It was so cool!"

You are my superhero!

I have no way to repay you, so I can only let everyone see the goddess in their eyes and shout your name loudly!

Ted Mosby is the envy of every man!

This is the only thing I can do for you!

"Ted Mosby!"

"Ted Mosby!"

"Ted Mosby!"

Barney raised his hand and shouted in the tone of a goddess from a classic action movie.

"Right!"

The Action Starlet, pleased that someone understood him, pointed at Barney and exclaimed, "That's it! That's my tribute!"

Ted: "..."
