After inheriting the family business and seizing power, Rudolf ignored Elsa, causing her to drown her sorrows in alcohol and die when Krauser was nine years old. At the funeral, Krauser and Geese met for the first time. Upon learning of his father's past abandonment of his wife and children and his plot to seize power from the Stroheim family, an enraged Krauser, unable to contain his fury after the funeral, killed his father with his bare hands, becoming the youngest head of the Stroheim family in history.
Krauser transferred his hatred for his father to Geese, who was also a victim. The relationship between the two was both hostile and friendly, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and their bromance was comparable to that of Naruto and Sasuke in Naruto.
The relationship between the two sides is far more complex than outsiders imagine; Levi also manipulated Geese. Howard only then learned of the many hidden details.
Therefore, it is surprising that Krauss, as the head of the Strauheim family and the emperor of the entire European underworld, would do such childish things.
Considering the history of grudges and feuds between him and Geese, this is actually quite normal.
Over the next few days, Li Wei successfully sent out the two special invitation letters. Li Wei also fought against Masamune Oyama, the head of Kyokushin-ryu, and found that he was a master who was on par with Takuma Sakazaki. His lower body skills and grappling techniques far surpassed those of ordinary fighters.
In the Nine Gates Room, Li Wei fought against the injured "V Dwarf Yokozuna" Chiyo Ryufuji. This fat uncle, who was nearly fifty years old, was considered one of the top among the older generation of masters. If he hadn't been injured, his combat power would have been even stronger.
Li Wei also took the opportunity to observe the daily training of sumo wrestlers and discovered that the sumo wrestlers in this world are a group of muscular monsters who use fat to cover up their muscles. After removing the fat on the surface of their bodies as a buffer, their body fat percentage is as low as that of bodybuilders.
Possessing both extreme muscle and fat, the ability to do such an incredible thing is only possible for these monster sumo wrestlers in this world. Even an extraordinary being like Levi, after witnessing the physique of sumo wrestlers, had to marvel at them, realizing that they were a group of men charging towards the "strongest".
Sumo wrestlers may appear clumsy, but their strikes are incredibly fast, relying on short bursts of power. Their palm strikes are so fast they leave afterimages, reminiscent of Edmond Honda from Street Fighter.
Curious, Yuri Sakazaki tried to challenge the best fighter in the Nine Gates Room, Ozeki, who was second only to Yokozuna, but she was beaten quite badly.
Her ultimate technique barely scratched her opponent, but if the opponent hit her even once, she would be knocked down. She barely managed to break through her opponent's defense by unleashing three consecutive "Overlord's Roaring Fist" attacks, which were powered by squeezing out all her internal energy, plus a "Flying Swallow Phoenix Kick." Chiyo Ryufuji stopped her in time, preserving Yuri Sakazaki's dignity as a disciple of the Kyokugenryu style.
If they continue playing, Yuri Sakazaki will suffer a very bad defeat.
This challenge also made Yuri Sakazaki realize that there are always people more skilled than you, and that mastering all the secrets of Kyokugenryu in just one year only proves that she has enough talent. However, compared to sumo wrestlers who train hard every day, she still lacks experience.
Chapter 305. I'm serious.
After sending out the last two special invitations from Japan, Li Wei led the group of girls back to Kagura's house.
After the Kagura family mansion was destroyed and rebuilt, it had many more rooms, so there were enough guest rooms to accommodate the girls of the Shiranui school.
Late at night, Li Wei and Kagura Manki stayed on the rooftop to enjoy the breeze and admire the moon.
Kagura Manki held a sake cup in her hand and said with a hint of jealousy, "You've only been gone a short time and you've already brought back several girls. Li Weijun, you're much more capable than I imagined."
Li Wei said, "It's not what you think. They looked so pitiful, so I helped them out. You should know about the Shiranui-ryu ninjas; there's a lot of misunderstanding about them." Kagura Manki said, "Legend has it that they use their beauty as a weapon to incite wars between various daimyo, making them extremely terrifying ninjas."
Li Wei laughed, "Men always like to blame their mistakes on women, just like in the history of the Chong Kingdom, many people blamed Yang Guifei for the decline of the Tang Dynasty. This is just some people covering up their incompetence." Kagura Manki showed a curious expression and said, "Then is it true that they used their bodies to question men?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "It's just hearsay. The Shiranui School tacitly accepted this claim to cover up their secrets, but in fact, they used a more sophisticated method. They used illusions, which are useless against beings of my and Goenitz's level, but can easily confuse ordinary people. They relied on illusions to carve out a place for themselves in the cruel and fierce profession of ninjas."
Kagura Manki showed a surprised expression. The Kagura family had always been a high and mighty family, so they didn't know much about "lowly" ninjas.
Furthermore, the Kagura clan does not have any vassal ninja forces directly under its own control. They outsource most tasks, while handling important matters themselves. Therefore, in terms of understanding the ninja profession, the Kagura clan is far inferior to the Kusanagi clan, which is also one of the Three Sacred Treasures clans.
Li Wei said, "The Shiranui School's greatest strength is not actually ninjutsu, but genjutsu. This was a top secret of the Shiranui School before. In order to hide their secret, the upper management of the Shiranui School would love for more people to misunderstand them."
If she put herself in their shoes, she would have done the same if she were one of those Shiranui-ryu ninjas.
Therefore, she did not tease or hurt Mai Shiranui and the others.
Kagura Manki said, "Li Weijun, the number of girls around you is increasing."
Looking into Li Wei's bright eyes, Kagura Manki wanted to complain inwardly. She didn't care much about such things, after all, she wasn't the head of the Kagura family and didn't need to worry about face.
However, it would be difficult for Chizuru to accept such a thing, since the Kagura family has been a noble family in the priesthood system since ancient times, and face is very important to the Kagura family.
With several seductive women now surrounding Li Wei, Qianhe found it even harder to swallow her pride. Li Wei smiled and said, "But I will take responsibility for each and every one of them."
Kagura Manki said, "A person's energy is limited. Li Wei, can you guarantee that you give the same amount to every girl around you?" Li Wei smiled and said, "Yes."
It wasn't that Li Wei was bragging, but that he had developed the ability to manipulate the flow of time within the sea of consciousness. In other words, as long as the floating island didn't leave the sea of consciousness, he could manipulate the time in a local area of the floating island, dividing different areas into different flow rates of time, and then using a spiritual energy wall to separate them, creating different flow rate zones.
When he is with a girl, he can adjust the flow of time here to his desired level, while all other areas except his own are in a state of time standstill. Of course, this is the simplest and most direct way.
In addition, he developed more time flow segmentation abilities, but these abilities are limited to the world of consciousness. Once outside the world of consciousness, he can no longer manipulate time in this way.
Kagura Manki laughed and said, "I'll take it as you bragging. But speaking of which, Li Weijun, are you serious about your idol project? Don't just fool those young girls, they see you as their pillar of support right now, so don't lie to them."
Li Wei said, "I've already written songs for them. Do you think I'm serious?"
Li Wei took out two manuscripts from his sea of consciousness and placed them in front of Kagura Manki. At the same time, a bright ball of light the size of a fist appeared above their heads, illuminating the surrounding space with a bright yet soft and non-glaring light.
Kagura Manki looked at the two manuscripts and read them aloud in a low voice: "Gokuraku Jodo? Ukiyo-e Illusion? The names are quite interesting, but I don't know anything about music. Even if you give me the sheet music, I won't be able to understand it."
Li Wei said, "It doesn't matter if you can't understand the musical notes, as long as you can understand the lyrics. Give me some feedback after you've read it."
Li Wei prepared two songs for Mai Shiranui's people. "Gokuraku Jodo" was copied verbatim, making him a plagiarist.
The other song is a brand new song that Li Wei has extended from the style of "Gokuraku Jodo". It boldly uses various traditional Japanese instruments and reinterprets them electronically. The content of the song is not the currently popular love story, but describes the street scene of Japan in the Edo period. It involves various roles such as courtesans, prostitutes, geishas, ronin, merchants, and ordinary citizens, and depicts the romance and cruelty of that era.
Kagura Maki stared at the lyrics of the two songs for a long time before finally looking up and saying, "Li Weijun, are you serious?! I thought you were just fooling those young girls, but I didn't expect you to really want them to debut as singing idols."
Li Wei laughed and said, "So you've always thought I was joking. After all, this is something I promised them, and I can't go back on my word. I'm planning to set up a talent agency in Japan to handle all their business. They don't need to participate in all sorts of random variety shows. They just need to focus on performing the songs and dances I make to the best of their ability. And that's just their side job. Their main job is being instructors at the Shiranui-ryu Women's Self-Defense Dojo."
Kagura Maki was surprised that Li Wei had arranged everything so perfectly. She had to admit, it's good to be rich. Although the Kagura family was considered wealthy, most of their assets were in real estate, and they didn't have much real cash flow. So even if she had any innovative ideas, her family might not have enough funds to support her creativity.
She envied Li Wei's carefree and do-what-you-want attitude. As for the tens of millions of dollars Li Wei had transferred, she wouldn't dare covet it; it was money earmarked for the King of Fighters tournament's Asian division and was earmarked for that purpose.
Chapter 306. Fire Serpent Puppet
Kagura Manki looked at Li Wei's smiling face and said, "Don't bring back a bunch of girls from your trip to Chongguo again." Li Wei replied, "What kind of person do you think I am? Is it really necessary to be like this?"
In response to Li Wei's complaints, Kagura Chizuru laughed and said, "He's just a womanizer who leaves a trail of romantic debts wherever he goes."
Li Wei agreed with Kagura Manki's statement, since that was exactly what he did. Besides, isn't it normal for a man to want three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines?
Men are not very resistant to beauty. Given the opportunity to have multiple wives and concubines, even abbots of temples would immediately renounce their vows. Not to mention Li Wei himself is a person whose desires are far stronger than those of ordinary people.
Li Wei said, "Girls are delicate flowers that need to be carefully protected. However, not everyone in this world thinks that way. There will always be special circumstances that allow flowers to be battered and ravaged by wind and rain. I can't bear to see such things happen." Kagura Maki didn't express any opinion on this. After all, that's how she knew Li Wei. If Li Wei had chosen not to do anything back then, she would probably have already fallen victim to Goenitz's poison.
That's why Kagura Maki felt she had no right to comment on it. She wasn't the kind of person who, once she got on the bus, didn't want anyone else to get on, or even kicked off the people who were already on the bus.
She was saved by Li Wei, and so were the girls of the Shiranui School. Even Joan encountered insurmountable difficulties, and if it weren't for Li Wei, her situation would be just as bad.
It can be said that Li Wei's chivalry was undoubtedly a crucial lifeline for the girl involved.
Li Wei laughed and said, "There is an old saying in Chong Kingdom: 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when rich, one should benefit all under heaven.' If I don't have enough ability, I won't meddle in other people's business. But if I have the ability and I see injustice but don't do anything about it, then I'm not being righteous enough." However, what Li Wei really wanted to complain about was that this saying has been distorted beyond recognition in modern times, becoming "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when rich, one should have many wives and concubines."
This is a fact. Although modern society ostensibly adheres to monogamy, to be honest, rules are meant to constrain ordinary people, while those in power and wealth have plenty of ways to circumvent them. That's why the general public created this catchy rhyme.
Another ancient saying that has been altered is "lovers will eventually become husband and wife," which has now become "the rich will eventually become husband and wife."
Many things have remained unchanged from ancient times to the present; they have simply moved from the public eye to the underground, and ordinary people can only catch glimpses of them.
Kagura Manki laughed and said, "I didn't say that such a thing is wrong. Helping others is a good deed in itself. It's just that you've limited the people you help to a fixed area, Li Wei." The two chatted casually until late at night. Finally, Kagura Manki, overcome with sleepiness, leaned on Li Wei's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep. Li Wei picked her up and took her back to his room.
As night deepened and everyone had rested, Li Wei left the Kagura family mansion and went outside. He randomly found a biker gang member who was still racing cars in the middle of the night, knocked him unconscious, dragged him away, and took him into his sea of consciousness space for puppet transformation.
Neither Geese Howard nor Krauser von Stroheim, the puppet in question, was the best choice for dirty work, so he needed a puppet specifically designed for it.
When it comes to doing things, if there are conditions, you should do it; if there aren't, you should create them. The fastest way to get closer to a girl is to be a hero and save her from danger. If the girl is already in a crisis, then Li Wei just needs to step forward.
However, even if there is no crisis, Li Wei can artificially create one. The biggest role of the puppet is to do the dirty work that the main body cannot do. Li Wei's main body only needs to ensure that he is virtuous and righteous, while the dirty work and the blame are left to the puppet.
To be honest, if the Third Hokage in Naruto had the puppet clone technique, he wouldn't have needed to cooperate with Danzo and let Danzo create a "country within a country" within his own sphere of influence. A puppet clone would be much better than an unreliable "ally".
Just like in the previous world, Li Wei once again created his own BOSS, an entity that caused trouble everywhere and posed a clear threat to the whole world, in order to satisfy his interests.
Without the "evil" of this puppet clone, how could the "righteousness" of his true self be highlighted? (Please give me flowers.)
Having gained the ability to manipulate the flow of time within his sea of consciousness, Li Wei became even more unrestrained in modifying puppets, spending a great deal of time altering their configurations and enhancing their strength.
After nearly three hours, Li Wei finally completed the transformation of the unfortunate biker gang. After the transformation, the biker gang was completely unrecognizable. His height increased from less than 170 cm to 195 cm. His originally skinny figure had become a strong physique with explosive muscles, just like Julian from the neighboring "Street Fighter", with a kind of sinister beauty.
This puppet is codenamed "Fire Serpent." Its fighting style is based on fire and is inspired by the Kusanagi and Yagami families in some aspects. However, due to its powerful attributes, the same moves are more destructive and have fewer openings when used by Fire Serpent.
0...
With the power contained within the Fire Serpent Puppet and Li Wei's logistical support, although it cannot destroy the world single-handedly like the Divine Abomination Puppet, it is still not a big problem for one person to wipe out the Three Sacred Treasures Clan. Although the Three Sacred Treasures Clan has the feat of sealing the Great Serpent, they are still too fragile as humans. As long as a weakness is found, they can be easily defeated one by one.
The fire serpent, no longer human, has completely lost its human weaknesses, which is why it can maintain its human form while achieving its current level of strength.
After completing the modification of the Fire Serpent, Li Wei released it. The Fire Serpent, which possessed the ability to cast spells, was actually a mage disguised as a fighter. The Fire Serpent, which also had the ability to fly, flew to Chongguo before Li Wei's main body and began to make its plans.
After all, Athena Asamiya has a master like Chin Gentsai protecting her, so ordinary minor troubles can't bother her at all. And Chin Gentsai also has considerable savings, so Athena Asamiya doesn't have any financial difficulties.
It was precisely for this reason that Li Wei created the Fire Serpent, a puppet specifically designed to do the dirty work, and later, the gathering of characters like Shermie, Mature, and Weiss all required the Fire Serpent's help.
Li Wei, needing to maintain his righteous and noble image, naturally couldn't do many things, while the Fire Serpent Puppet had far fewer scruples; as long as it achieved its goal, it could do even the most despicable things.
Chapter 307. Krauser Puppet
Li Wei, although he had made up his mind to go to Chongguo, still needed to make some preparations before setting off. After all, in 91, Chongguo had not yet begun its journey of rapid development, so its infrastructure was somewhat inferior to that of traditional developed countries.
To catch up, they'd have to wait until after the new millennium. Therefore, considering Levi's schedule, the Geese puppeteers have arranged for a specially made RV to be airlifted to Chongguo. After all, Levi, through his location tracking ability, already knows the location of Athena Asamiya and the others.
Athena Asamiya is currently living in seclusion in the Lushan area of Jiangxi Province, with her master Chin Gentsai and her fellow disciple Chikensou. However, the overall development level of Chongguo is not very high at present. Compared with Tokyo, which has developed into a modern metropolis, Jiangxi is considered to be developing well within Chongguo. She will not be able to start her extraordinary journey until after the millennium.
On the other side of the Geese puppet, they finally made contact with Krauser. After waiting for so long, Levi finally got to this moment and immediately activated the teleportation to go to the side of the Geese puppet.
A flash of light and shadow passed before his eyes, and when Li Wei opened his eyes again, he was already in the grand hall of a magnificently decorated ancient castle.
Krauser frowned as he looked at the figure that appeared behind Geese and said, "Geese, I didn't expect you to have brought help. But even with help, you're still no match for me."
Krauser was full of confidence. After all, he had defeated Geese when he was nine years old. Although Geese had trained hard over the years, he had not been living a leisurely life. He was able to become the emperor of the European underworld not only because of his power and wealth, but also because of his unparalleled and terrifying strength.
Ordinary nobles, fearing death, act with extreme caution, but Krauser, the emperor of the underworld, possesses formidable power that makes him unafraid of assassination. Even when his rivals are driven to desperation, they are powerless against him. The puppet, with a sinister smile, said, "Wolfgang Krauser von Stroheim, welcome to our ranks."
Levi had already walked in front of the Geese puppet. Krauser's expression changed. In his mind, Geese was an arrogant person who did not allow anyone to walk in front of him. However, now, this taboo had been broken.
