"With your current strength, you're not good enough to participate in the King of Fighters tournament. Don't worry, I have a special medicine here that will guarantee it won't damage your foundation," Chin Gentsai said.
At this moment, Chikensou still couldn't believe that what had just happened was an illusion. He had really seen those photos. Thinking of Athena Asamiya's shy smile in Li Wei's arms, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and his face became ferocious.
"Why are you making that face, brat? Clean up the mess here. Do you expect me to do it?" Zhen Yuanzhai said.
"Master, I'll clean it up right away!" Chikensou could only suppress his anger and obediently went to get the broom and trash can. At this moment, he had made up his mind to become a peerless master and then snatch Athena Asamiya back from Levi's side.
........................
Meanwhile, Li Wei also received feedback from the system.
Chika Kensou is enraged by Athena Asamiya's embrace by the system holder, gaining 4 points. He now has points remaining.
Li Wei smiled, having successfully racked up points. It has to be said that young people like Chikako are relatively easy to deal with. Old hands like Goenitz don't give him many opportunities. After all, Goenitz should have learned his lesson after two failures. Trying to use the same methods again is not an easy task. Therefore, Chikako became the breakthrough point for racking up points.
However, the same trick cannot be used repeatedly. After all, Chikensou is not stupid. If he uses the same method again, it will definitely arouse his suspicion. Not only will it fail to achieve the goal of scoring points, but it may also affect subsequent score scoring.
Fortunately, the score-farming went very smoothly this time. Li Wei thought he should get a camera with built-in stealth capabilities to record the impotent rage expressions of the pranked targets and keep it as his own collection.
Everyone has their quirky hobbies, like Karl's habit of turning fighters who challenged him and failed into bronze statues. Compared to Karl's habit of turning living people into bronze statues, Li Wei's quirky hobby is actually quite gentle.
Unfortunately, Kensou's expression wasn't captured on camera this time, which is a bit of a shame. We can only hope to capture such an expression next time.
Chapter 1. Preparing for Moving
A few days later, Li Wei finally finished the construction of the mansion on time and also took care of the interior decoration. After the mansion was completed, Li Wei no longer needed everyone to crowd into the Kagura family mansion.
Moreover, Kagura had been living at the Kagura family's house for quite some time now. Although the traditional neon-style garden looked beautiful, he really wasn't used to living there.
It should be said that no matter what kind of ancient building it is, it will be inconvenient to use without in-depth modernization. It can be said that even an ordinary person in modern times has a much higher level of convenience in life than the royal family and nobles of ancient times.
So, while the neon-style courtyard is beautiful, its lack of modernity makes it really uncomfortable to use. Li Wei couldn't say this outright, so he could only carefully plan his move to his new residence in Japan.
With the mansion completed, Kagura Maki followed Li Wei to this luxurious mansion located in the heart of Chiyoda Ward.
From afar, Kagura Manki saw the unique classical European style and said, "I didn't expect that you, Li Weijun, would like European-style buildings so much that you would build such a manor."
Li Wei shrugged and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, while the classical Chinese-style pavilions are more beautiful, they are not as efficient in utilizing space as classical European-style buildings, and they also have problems with lighting. We had no choice but to make this decision, since this piece of land is only so big, and I can't come up with any new ideas."
The two stopped at the entrance of the mansion. After swiping their fingerprints on the lock, Li Wei led Wan Gui into the garden area of the estate.
"Although it looks very historical, it also seems very high-tech. What was that just now?" Wan Gui asked curiously.
"Fingerprint locks are a type of smart lock that relies on recognizing fingerprints, pupils, and voice. The technology is about ten years ahead of what we have now," Li Wei said.
In the real world, fingerprint locks were not perfected until around the turn of the millennium. In the King of Fighters world, the development of smart technology is relatively lagging behind. Therefore, it will take a considerable amount of time for smart locks like these to become widespread.
Upon entering the mansion, even Wan Gui, who came from a wealthy family, couldn't help but marvel at how every piece of furniture was worthy of being exhibited in a museum, and how every detail exuded an aura of wealth and power.
Wan Gui also understood why Li Wei liked this style, because she also liked it. This high-rise manor-style building could effectively utilize the space. Although it had certain limitations in terms of lighting, its use of space was far superior to that of a classical neon-style courtyard.
While Japan does have classical architecture, including high-rise buildings, these are mostly castle-like structures. The lighting issues are even more severe, and they are not very habitable. In ancient times, only powerful daimyo who relied on military force would have preferred such buildings. Official government buildings, on the other hand, preferred courtyard-style architecture.
Li Wei led Wan Gui on a tour of the manor's interior. The estate, spanning several floors, boasted numerous rooms, each decorated with a refined and luxurious style. Even the lodgings Li Wei provided for his servants were far more extravagant than those of ordinary households.
It's fair to say that Li Wei practically had "money is no object" written all over his face in this mansion.
After much effort, Wan Gui finally finished browsing the entire mansion. At this point, she had some ideas in mind, such as renovating the Kagura family's mansion. However, considering the cost of renovating the mansion, she had to give up this tempting idea.
Although the Kagura family currently has relatively abundant cash reserves, those funds are all "public funds" provided by Li Wei to the Kagura family for organizing the King of Fighters tournament in Asia. It's unacceptable to use them for such frivolous things. Wan Gui knows how to keep things in check and won't end up like that old lady who used the money meant for buying warships to build a garden, only to end up losing everything.
The two arrived at the pavilion in the garden. Although the place was not large, Li Wei had still built an exquisite miniature garden around the mansion, complete with a pavilion and other facilities.
The two sat down, and Wan Gui sighed, "I have to say, Europeans really know how to enjoy life."
Although Livy had little affection for the bandit-like Europeans, he had to admit that Europe did indeed have a high level of achievement in architecture and music, and that Europe had produced many ruthless figures, as well as great thinkers and scientists throughout history.
··· ·Requesting flowers····
Although Levi disliked Europeans, he had to face the facts, as facts cannot be erased. Of course, Black people were an exception. Due to historical issues, the overall quality of Black people was truly questionable. The "Kanda" incident and the Black foreign teacher incident left Levi speechless about this race, except for sighs and complaints.
Li Wei said, "European architectural techniques are quite interesting. I've done some research on them before, and I must say, I've benefited a lot. Compared to neon-style courtyards, I would feel more comfortable living here."
Wan Gui nodded; she thought so too.
....... ..... ...
Li Wei used to go to architecture universities to use their libraries and learned a lot of useful things. It was with this knowledge that he was able to create buildings of this caliber.
Wan Gui sighed and said, "Thinking that Li Weijun and the others will be coming here soon, I feel a little lonely. After you leave, it will only be me and Qianhe left."
Mangui had grown accustomed to the lively life. After all, the Kagura family mansion had been far too desolate. It was only after Li Wei and the others moved in that it began to feel like home. That was why she felt reluctant to leave.
"What are you talking about? It's like we're worlds apart. The straight-line distance is only a few hundred meters. It takes less than ten minutes to walk here," Li Wei said with a smile.
“But it’s not my home anymore, is it?” Wan Gui said.
Looking in the direction of the house, Li Wei said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Home is wherever I am. Besides, we've already reserved rooms for you here, and made some renovations according to your preferences. I'll bring them over tomorrow."
"How heartless." Wan Gui rested his chin on his hands, looking at Li Wei with a wronged expression.
Li Wei didn't want to complain anymore. Although the minimalist style of the guest room did have a Zen-like feel, he wasn't a monk, so what was he supposed to be meditating on?
Compared to minimalism, a commoner like him prefers a magnificent style, which makes him realize the extent of his wealth and power.
Chapter 1. Discussion
After visiting the newly completed mansion, Li Wei and Wan Gui returned to the Kagura family mansion. Wan Gui was not the kind of person to make trouble unnecessarily, so although she was reluctant to see Li Wei leave the mansion, she only said a few words about it.
Moreover, Wan Gui made a decision: she would come and live here with Li Wei. Although it was only a few hundred meters away as the crow flies, she just didn't want to be too far away from Li Wei.
After returning to the mansion, the pedestrian began packing his luggage to prepare for the move. Although the moving distance was not very far, after being away for such a long time, the pedestrian still had some personal belongings and needed to spend some time packing them.
The next day, after breakfast, the Kagura family's maids delivered all the items, allowing passersby to proceed empty-handed. Manki felt that Li Wei's new residence was quite large and would be difficult to manage, so he separated a portion of the Kagura family's maid team and dispatched them to Li Wei's residence as a temporary emergency team. He also planned to form a new maid team centered around these maids, which significantly reduced Joan's workload, as she was responsible for these matters.
Inside the Kagura family mansion, with the departure of Li Wei and the others, the guest rooms became empty again. The two sisters, Chizuru and Manki, sat down in the shaded corridor, with tea and snacks placed between them.
"It feels like it's been a long time since I've sat down and enjoyed the scenery like this. Li Weijun and the others have left..." Chizuru looked at the dry landscape garden in the courtyard and felt a little bored. With her loved ones not around, no scenery seemed interesting.
Mangui held a teacup, a rice cracker dangling from his mouth, looking quite relaxed.
Looking at Wan Gui like this, Qian He felt a little jealous. Wan Gui had been getting very close to Li Wei lately, and since she and Wan Gui were twins, they were connected in many ways. How could she not know that Wan Gui was slacking off by Li Wei's side?
Wan Guikou chewed the senbei in his mouth until it broke, and half of the senbei fell to the ground, which he caught lightly.
"If you like someone, just say it. If you keep putting on airs like this, you'll regret it," Wan Gui said.
Chizuru felt a pang of discomfort, realizing that Wan Gui was right; her heart couldn't hold another man. But the thought of Li Wei surrounded by so many women made her angry, so she stubbornly kept her distance from him. Yet, deep down, she envied the girls around Li Wei.
Chizuru said, "Let's not talk about my problem for now. But you, as the guardian priestess, aren't you getting a little too close to Li Weijun? Sister Wan, you couldn't resist and crossed that line with Li Weijun. That's troublesome."
Wan Gui could sense Qian He's strong jealousy, but Li Wei's situation was more special. As a "heartthrob," Li Wei would have a large number of girls flocking to him even if he did nothing, and there was no way to stop it.
Even she couldn't completely ignore such a thing, let alone Chizuru, who was even more narrow-minded.
Wan Gui laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I know what I'm doing. Even if we cross that line, it won't affect Li Weijun's plan. He already has a way to deal with the giant snake. Our presence is just icing on the cake."
Chizuru said, "Sister, do you really trust him that much to easily solve the Orochi problem?"
Wan Gui shrugged, his expression nonchalant, and said, "Because I have no choice but to trust him. Do you think the two of us can be a match for Goenitz?"
Chizuru shook her head. She knew Goenitz's strength, though she hadn't fought him personally. She had seen Levi fight Goenitz before, and a master of that level was beyond human capabilities.
Even if she and Wan Gui fought together, it wouldn't change the outcome. If Li Wei hadn't been there, they would likely have been defeated one by one by Goenitz by now, and both of them would have already met their demise.
Wan Gui said, "But Li Weijun was able to defeat Goenitz with ease. Not just easily, but if it weren't for the need to lure out the main body of the giant snake, Goenitz would probably have been killed by now. We owe him a debt we can't repay, and it wouldn't be strange if I had to repay it myself."
"What about the restrictions on the guardian priestess? Once her body is broken, her strength will be reduced by half," Chizuru said.
"It doesn't matter. So what if my strength is reduced by half? Anyway, the current situation doesn't make a difference if I lose a little more power. Besides, our strength doesn't have much impact on the overall situation. I can only say that I will try my best to restrain myself. If I really can't restrain myself, then there's nothing I can do..." Wan Gui stuffed the remaining half of the senbei into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
Wan Gui's idea wasn't that she was giving up entirely, but rather that Li Wei's side really didn't need her combat power. Whether it was sealing or fighting, Li Wei's side could handle it all. In reality, the Three Divine Artifacts Clan didn't have much influence or value for Li Wei.
After obtaining various materials related to Orochi through the Kagura family's library, Li Wei was capable of working independently. Initially, this made Manki feel somewhat frustrated, as she felt her importance had significantly diminished. However, she reasoned that this wasn't entirely a bad thing. At least this way, the burden of her duty as the guardian priestess was minimized, allowing her to pursue her own happiness more boldly, instead of constantly worrying about matters related to the Orochi Familia as before.
Chizuru looked at Manki in shock. She hadn't expected Manki to say such a thing. This Manki seemed somewhat unfamiliar to her, and she felt a pang of jealousy at the same time.
Looking at his twin sister's bewildered expression, Mangui couldn't help but chuckle. He said, "Instead of worrying about me, you should think about yourself and what you truly want. The position of head of the Kagura family is both an honor and a constraint. I've already begun to break free from these constraints; let's see if you can do the same. Don't wait until you lose it to regret it."
Chizuru nodded. How could she not know her own feelings? Her affection for Li Wei kept her tossing and turning at night, unable to sleep, her mind filled with Li Wei's image.
Manki didn't have a good solution for Chizuru's current situation. After all, the position of head of the Kagura family had become a burden for her. In truth, all the problems would be solved if she could simply let go of her pride. The key was whether Chizuru could let go. However, the Kagura family, as the pinnacle of the samurai class, was only a step away from becoming a noble family; such a status couldn't be easily relinquished. Therefore, Manki knew that Chizuru needed time.
Chapter 1. The Serpent Clan's Hidden Scheme
Days passed, and the King of Fighters tournament drew ever closer. With extensive publicity, the tournament's popularity soared, exciting not only those who loved fighting games but also various gamblers.
Although the King of Fighters tournament is held every year, with occasional breaks of two, it is extremely popular. This is because people in this world can surpass the limits of the human body through training, so conventional sports often result in one-sided, crushing victories, making them less entertaining. That's why neither the World Cup in football, the Super Bowl in American football, nor the NBA in basketball have become hugely popular.
Instead, all sorts of fighting events have emerged, and people love to watch fighters engage in brutal, hand-to-hand combat in the ring. Underground boxing matches are found all over the world.
This is why the gambling industry in this world is so developed, because there are simply too many gamblers. Although there is bound to be match-fixing in fighting matches, this cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the gamblers at all. Every King of Fighters tournament becomes a carnival for gamblers. The gamblers' passion for betting on boxing matches is even more fervent than betting on the World Cup in the real world.
Li Wei looked down at the newly established King of Fighters tournament venue in Asia and nodded in satisfaction.
It must be said that Japan in this era is still very impressive in terms of infrastructure, not much weaker than the infrastructure powerhouse that is China under its leadership. Unfortunately, Japan cannot maintain this level of development for many more years. When this generation of infrastructure workers grows old, Japan's construction industry will face the problem of an aging population and a lack of successors.
"Although it's somewhat different from what I envisioned, considering it was built by hand rather than by myself, it's acceptable," Li Wei muttered to himself.
The completed venue is now in the final cleaning stage. Once the cleaning is finished, it will be open to visitors.
During the construction of the stadium, Li Weixian and the Orochi clan secretly tampered with the underground of the stadium, creating a large energy-gathering array beneath it.
This energy-gathering array can absorb intense human emotions and convert them into energy. Li Wei studied the array and exclaimed, "Wow, the Orochi clan also possesses amazing core technology! This operation of converting emotions into energy is a highly advanced technique that Li Wei himself didn't know before he could reverse-engineer the array."
It took Li Wei several days to master this technique and create his own version.
The amazing thing about the Orochi Familia's emotional energy is that it breaks the law of conservation of energy and achieves something close to creating something from nothing. The massive emotions will be transformed into a stream of particles that move at high speed. As long as these particle streams are utilized, they can be transformed into various common forms of energy. Using this technology, the Orochi Familia in this world can even create a pseudo-perpetual motion machine.
