Me and countless me.

Chapter 540 The Water Lily Pavilion and the Wish for Battle

Li Ke didn't know much about the Kengan Association; in fact, he didn't know much about most of it because when he was young, he preferred fighting people with superpowers to simple hand-to-hand combat.

Especially after watching Kenichi the Strongest Disciple and Fist of the North Star, he, who hated fatalism, gave up fighting manga.

So I've only ever heard of Tokita Ohma and Yujiro, and at most, things like Hanma Seijin, the female in my heart, and Oni-boro and the like.

However, I still know to some extent that this is a fighting comic that looks normal on the surface, but is actually not like that at all. It is a fantasy fighting comic.

After all, in this comic, fighters can stop earthquakes with their fists and mold carbon into diamonds. To say that they are normal fighters would be an insult to people's intelligence.

However, the Dark Tournament is a matter of another dimension.

Putting aside the fact that this thing is probably a martial arts tournament from Yu Yu Hakusho, the predecessor of Hunter x Hunter by Togashi, it also represents something else: that there is a hell in this world, and that the king of hell is a child.

If they truly exist, it would mean that beyond the human realm, there are other worlds such as the Demon Realm.

"But why are there still so many vengeful spirits in the streets?"

Li Ke looked at the various vengeful spirits not far away. Their crazed appearance was terrifying, but they didn't actually harm anyone. Instead, they absorbed the resentment in the air and became something that consumed the resentment in the environment.

Recalling the sight of the Grim Reaper working overtime, Li Ke felt that this situation was deliberately maintained by the underworld of this world, so that these products of resentment and ghosts could purify the spiritual energy of the world.

But there could be other things involved. After all, there are many instances of demons, monsters, and vengeful spirits escaping from hell in Yu Yu Hakusho. It just goes to show that further investigation is needed.

However, at present, such a situation is very unfriendly to spiritual users without inheritance, especially for the type like Miko who suddenly gains the ability of spiritual vision. They are very likely to encounter powerful evil spirits when they are weak and then be killed.

However, just as Li Ke was in a daze, his editor spoke up again.

"Although the Kengan warriors are not like those psychics who can do all sorts of bizarre things, their powerful bodies are enough to intimidate most strange things. Just like the salt sprinkled by an ordinary person is completely different from the salt sprinkled by a sumo wrestler, as long as you get close to the warriors' battle, even if you have a bit of bad luck, it will be completely dispelled."

After a pause, the editor looked at Li Ke's calm face and felt that Li Ke was still a little confused, so he spoke again.

"Moreover, unlike those fickle and exorbitantly priced psychic users, hiring a powerful warrior from the Kengan Association to exorcise bad luck and unclean things is much cheaper. And for someone like you who is easily assassinated, those people are all professionals. Most importantly, many company transactions are decided by the battles between Kengan Association warriors, which leads to a lot of betting and insider trading. Opportunities to enter such a world are really rare, Li Ke-kun."

After saying that, he gave Li Ke a mysterious smile.

"How about that? Isn't it amazing? Welcome to the real world, Li Kejun. This is something that most people can't know. Here, this is your ticket for tomorrow's Kengan Association event. You can enter as a guest of our group to observe the event and witness the true side of Japan."

He pulled out an invitation, and Li Ke, looking at it, knew that this was their real offer to recruit him.

A ticket to enter the upper echelons of human society in this world.

Although he didn't care, the publisher had given so much, their sincerity and attitude were impeccable, so he asked.

"What's the price?"

The editor smiled.

"All your future works, whether novels, comics, music or anything else, will be handled by the Laisheng Group. In return, we will give you the largest share of the profits and promotion. As long as each of your novels and comics meets the most basic criteria, they can be adapted into live-action films and animations."

He really thought highly of Li Ke. In this era, Li Ke could be considered a prodigy. He could easily handle serious literature, science fiction with data and theoretical support, light novels, and erotic novels. He also knew how to compose music and draw comics.

Although the drawing skills of the comic are still relatively poor, their internal professionals have studied the panel layout and story structure. They all said that as long as Li Ke is assigned a few outstanding assistants to draw the drafts drawn by Li Ke, and then handed over to Li Ke and the editor for final review, although it is impossible to create another Akira Toriyama, it will definitely be a good work to support their own comic.

Moreover, their group recently changed to a young lady as the head, and recruited many promising small companies to engage in internal competition, in order to get the company's veterans to make concessions. Therefore, the benefits that Li Ke had not been able to obtain in the past were now being given to Li Ke directly.

Therefore, their subsidiary offers Li Ke almost unlimited treatment, in order to gain an advantage and a future in the competition with other subsidiaries of the group!
This was naturally a benefit brought by the transmigrator plagiarist, and Li Ke didn't care much about it.

"That's a very reasonable request. Do I need to sign any documents?"

But the editor just smiled.

"You're joking. You just need to focus on creating, and leave the rest to us."

There's no need to sign such a document, but similarly, since Li Ke has enjoyed so many benefits, it's better for everyone to benefit before leaving so that they can part ways amicably. After all, Li Ke's desire to leave is simply due to insufficient benefits, and as long as there's room for discussion, they can sit down and talk.

However, if Li Ke himself is not sensible, then they do not need this contract to restrain and punish him.

However, Li Ke also didn't feel that they could restrain him.

After all, what he discovered in this world was the life force manipulation of Alliance Li Ke, the attribute point manipulation of JoJo Li Ke, the energy absorption, repair and enhancement of Dust White Li Ke, the incense and wish power talent of Hong Kong Variety Li Ke, and the shop talent of King Li Ke.

His popularity and reputation accumulated over the years, coupled with the influence of Li Ke's incense offerings and talent from Hong Kong variety shows, are enough to save him most of his training time, allowing him to surpass the scope that ordinary people can manage.

"Then I have no questions."

The editor nodded.

"Then we won't keep you from enjoying your life any longer. Come on, please get in the car, and I'll take you to your house."

The editor kindly helped Li Ke into the car and then took her to the Water Lily Inn. Standing at the entrance of the Water Lily Inn, looking at the three beauties who came out to greet her, Li Ke couldn't help but praise their thoughtfulness.

Because he could sense that these three beauties had no feelings of resistance, that they knew their situation and responsibilities, and that they were willing to accept this situation.

So when he got off the bus, Touka, the manager, took the initiative to hug Li Ke's arm and pressed her voluptuous body against Li Ke's body, while Shui Lian, the eldest sister, took the initiative to hug the other side.

The youngest, Kui, took the initiative to lift Li Ke's luggage, her thoughtfulness making one want to lie down and let the three women do as they pleased.

only--

"Are there other people living here?"

Looking at the address of the Water Lily Inn, Li Ke asked in surprise, because when he entered the place, he saw many rooms.

The entire Mizuren-no-Yū (Water Lily Inn) truly lives up to its name. In the courtyard, there is not only a clear pond with many water lilies, but also a hot spring, a favorite of the Japanese. Moreover, next to the hot spring pool, there is clearly a dojo for exercising and a lot of fitness equipment. Li Ke even saw a place that looked like a medical room, where a short-haired, well-built female doctor was reviewing documents.

Moreover, there is plenty of open space and lawn outside the courtyard, so it would be no problem to call it a manor.

This is a place that most people in the world dream of, and for the Japanese, it is the ultimate destination.

"I'm afraid this place wasn't originally prepared for me alone." Touka, the manager of the Water Lily Inn, immediately explained.

"Yes... this is indeed a guesthouse, so it will continue to operate normally. If you don't want to continue operating it, we can close it down. But we mainly cater to students from Tokyo University and children from nearby schools, so there aren't many adults from the community. The clientele is very... simple, mostly young and cute girls."

As she spoke, she pointed to a small shop at the entrance.

"We also have a tea shop here. If you don't mind, we can operate it there and cater to some young customers."

Li Ke nodded, and then saw two shrine maiden girls carrying their luggage into a dormitory. When he looked in that direction, Touka immediately spoke in a low voice.

"Over there are the sisters, Motoko and Tsuruko, descendants of samurai from a famous nearby shrine and dojo. Next to them lives Setsuna Sakurazaki, a swordswoman of the Kamiryu school, and also their bodyguard, who came to check if our Mizuren Inn can accommodate Miss Konoka from the Konoe family. Above them is the renowned painter, Mashiro Shiina, a shy girl. Next to Mashiro are the two young ladies from the Yukinoshita family… well, there are actually quite a few young ladies here."

At this point, Touka touched her lips and gave Li Ke a bright smile.

"After all, many people would love to have a young talent like you who achieves fame at such a young age."

Touka had no intention of considering herself Li Ke's wife, nor did her daughters. She knew very well that the Water Lily Lodge was originally a dormitory prepared for other talented people, but now everyone had become Li Ke. She, Water Lily, and Aoi were told that they only needed to serve Li Ke.

She naturally understood how important Li Ke was.

But just when she thought Li Ke would show a smug expression, she saw Li Ke's lips twitch involuntarily, and heard Li Ke muttering some complaints.

"What kind of world is this, a combination of old and modern anime? Even though it's supposed to be a realistic world, isn't it a bit too amazing? Don't let Haruhi Suzumiya and Kusuo Saiki suddenly appear in my life, or even Blue Tanuki..."

Touka didn't understand what Li Ke was talking about, nor did she know who Li Ke was referring to, but Li Ke knew exactly who the Aoyama Motoko sisters, Konoe Konoka, and Sakurazaki Setsuna were.

The first two are characters from the world of Love Hina, and the latter two are characters from the world of Magical Teacher Negima!

As for Shiina Mashiro and the Yukinoshita sisters, there's no need to discuss them, since it's just a simple everyday world.

"Both of these are clearly worlds with extraordinary abilities, and yet this hybrid worldview has been targeted by large corporations to facilitate the recruitment of various talents... It's really hard to know what to say... Especially Magister Negi Magi, I remember the fighting power in that anime was quite high."

In comparison, Kengan is not as heavyweight, because unlike Kengan Ashura and Yu Yu Hakusho, Negima! and Love Hina belong to the comedy manga category, which means that there are many unreasonable super-powers in it.

Therefore, Li Ke felt a little uneasy, because he felt that something terrible was bound to happen in this chaotic world.

It's even possible that while he's sleeping, the Earth is destroyed by some crazy person on a whim, leaving him bewildered and staring blankly at the shattered planet when he wakes up.

That would be terrible.

Sensing Li Ke's unease, Touxia and Shuilian leaned against him again.

"Would you like to take a shower first to relieve your fatigue and tension? After all, we heard that you had a very dangerous assassination attempt. That way we can give you a massage to help you relax."

She gently stroked Li Ke's chest, indicating that their three-person massage and relaxation session was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Li Ke looked into the woman's eyes and realized that she was actually anticipating this, so he nodded.

"I can wash myself. As for the massage, we can talk about it when I come out."

Li Ke declined the offer of a bath with three women. He needed to calm down, sort out his situation, and strengthen his body in order to face this bizarre crossover anime world.

So Li Ke, lying in the bathtub, was not idle. He constantly guided the power of 'faith' gathered in his body to transform into his most authentic fighting strength.

His originally thin and deformed body quickly transformed into a well-proportioned and sturdy physique. Although he appeared unchanged, in that short period of time, his strength, endurance, and speed had already reached the limits of human capability.

Or rather, it's the current limit of his body.

but--

Li Ke, who was constantly activating his talent in Hong Kong variety shows, was stunned. Just after he had strengthened his energy talent to the limit, he felt a prompt when he activated the talent again.

"Will the next upgrade require a 'great achievement' or a specific accomplishment?"

He needs more attention from influential people in the world, more attention from 'strong' people, and he must fight these 'strong' people on equal footing and defeat them in order to elevate his power to a higher level.

This strong person could be a chef, a cartoonist, or anyone from any profession, but they must be the strongest in their profession! They must possess their own will and a desire and drive to constantly improve their memories, and only by defeating such a person can they continue to move forward!
This is the amazing transformation of Li Ke's talent in Hong Kong variety shows, or it can be said to be a transformation caused by interference from the world.

However, he could actually bypass this restriction by using the attribute point manipulation method of JOJO Riko. He only needed to continuously raise his attribute points to the level required for 'great achievements', and then deduct the attribute points to convert them back into attribute points for further improvement. This would allow him to easily bypass the restriction that requires great achievements to increase his strength.

However, 'great achievements' are not just limitations. After achieving great achievements, he can gain some of his opponent's insights and special abilities, and even the special abilities of his bloodline, thus making himself stronger and more well-rounded.

"interesting."

A smile appeared on Li Ke's lips. Before encountering this problem, he had been thinking about one thing: what should he do in this chaotic world?

Beautiful women and businesses—his career before he even got the cheat code had already brought him such a rich fortune and beautiful women. If he wanted, even more young and lovely girls would keep moving in and becoming his harem under his guidance.

On the contrary, after his cheat ability arrived, he encountered a series of assassinations and troubles, which were actually very easy for him and did not cause him any immediate harm. So he didn't know what the point of becoming stronger and going around was.

But now, 'great cause' has become the trigger that unleashes the beast within him, letting him know what he has to do in this world.

"Of course, we should fight the strong!"

Li Ke clenched his fists, unable to resist the urge to fight those powerful individuals in various fields!

What a wonderful world, with so many powerful beings! If I can't fight these powerful beings, wouldn't it be a waste to have come to this world?

There's no need to suppress your power; you just need to continuously improve yourself while fighting stronger opponents!

What a wonderful thing this is!

But right now!
A loud background music started playing, and Touka, Shui Ren, and Aoi, wrapped in bath towels, opened the bathroom door. Looking at their full and tall figures and their powerful movements, Li Ke knew that these three were strong and powerful women!

Then--

Li Ke then lost!
