A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei chatted with the other person for a few more minutes before logging off. This place was a mixed bag; you could find all sorts of people here. There were guys from the fishing forum, gay guys from the card forum, joke writers from the idiot forum, guys who post lewd pictures, and even lurking gamers and idol fanatics.

Li Wei is considered a relatively well-known figure in the series, after all, he physically crossed the border to study in Japan, and he is also a highly skilled painter. Many of the widely circulated adult comics in the series are his work.

Sooner or later, you'll see the pictures I drew.jpg

Li Wei remembered the anime name his friend mentioned, opened Abi, entered the keyword "Hundred Armed Forces Chronicles," and the official anime link immediately popped up.

"Since it's a work from 2010, the quality should be guaranteed, right? I'm quite cautious when buying anime." Li Wei muttered to himself.

Abi is quite cautious when buying anime. Although there have been some bad experiences, generally speaking, the works that can be officially launched on Bilibili are usually not bad in quality. It's just that the fan service scenes are either smeared with holy light or censored with dark magic.

Although Abi has been buying back various copyrights after most of the unlicensed anime series failed, it's impossible to watch old anime like "Dark Bible" and "School Days" on Abi like before. Legalization has its advantages and disadvantages, but in Li Wei's opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages overall.

Just like with regular anime series, if you miss the TV broadcast in Japan, you can only wait for it to be available online or on paid websites. Many Japanese people have the habit of recording TV shows on videotape because of this limitation.

Many pirated videos in China originate from Japanese TV tapes. Now that Abi has bought the rights, it's very convenient for Li Wei to catch up on anime series; he can simply bypass the Great Firewall and go back to watch them.

It's very troublesome to bypass the Great Firewall in China, but it's quite simple to bypass it from the outside to the inside; it's just a matter of using an accelerator. Li Wei has always had one ready.

I turned on the anime and started watching. Then, I experienced the full-of-fact formula of "Hundred". It took me several hours to watch the whole series without speeding up.

After watching the anime, Li Wei knew that the plot was not over yet. He looked it up and found that the work was "々．轻改" (a light novel adaptation). The original novel has now been completed, but Li Wei had no desire to read the original work at all because the anime was too formulaic. It was just like a copy of the great writer's IS, with the same overpowered protagonist, the same obsessive love, and the same nonsensical humor.

However, the male protagonist of "Hundred" is much better than Natsumi Orimura, the male protagonist of IS. At least when Li Wei watched it, although he wanted to complain the whole time, he didn't have much of an aversion to the male protagonist, Hayato Kisaragi.

Li Wei's impression of this work was that the girls in it were cute, nothing more. The character design and plot were quite formulaic. Moreover, according to the information he found, the anime adaptation also adjusted the pacing and details. The original work was relatively slower and had the common problem of all light novels: it was dragging.

Although the original author was far superior to the great writer, Li Wei chickened out when he saw the number of volumes.

Moreover, Li Wei didn't intend to expend too much energy on such fast-paced works, because after watching the entire series, Li Wei was still only interested in Kureia Harvey. However, the reason why Li Wei was only interested in Kureia Harvey was simply because she was too "big".

Just like what Yoshihiko, the protagonist of the "Heroes of the Demon Castle" series, said, what's wrong with a hero liking big boobs? Li Wei has to admit that although he is a total control enthusiast who accepts all comers, big boobs are a plus in his eyes.

Volume 1. Hundred Armed Chronicles

Chapter 44. Reappearance

After finishing watching "Hundred", Li Weixin had already made up his mind. He could watch the anime, but there was no need to waste too much energy on it; in his opinion, it wasn't worth it.

However, with the development of the industry, the once vibrant and diverse scene is hard to see anymore. After all, during the prosperous period of the Japanese economy, the animation industry had enough money to burn, so all kinds of animation could be produced. In that era, many masterpieces that left a deep impression on post-90s and post-90s otaku were born.

However, the entire industry ecosystem has undergone tremendous changes. Today's Japan no longer has the suitable ecosystem or enough money to produce those "big productions" of yesteryear.

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer anime series that satisfy Li Wei, and he feels that a generation gap has emerged between him and the new generation of otaku.

At least, he wasn't very interested in those mainstream comics. For example, he hadn't watched a single episode of One Piece, which is considered a masterpiece by many.

For his previous works, Li Wei liked the work itself more, and then extended that appreciation to a particular character. However, for his current works, due to too many formulas and homogenization, he now likes a particular character more than the entire work.

No matter how bad a creator is, if they spend a lot of time and effort on a certain character, that character will inevitably become more vivid. The same applies to comics and animation. So even the worst story can leave behind a couple of characters that the audience likes.

Just like the previously heavily criticized "My Japanese Academy," which blatantly glorified school bullying and even called it a sign of tsundere personality, claiming that hitting and scolding were expressions of affection. However, this idiot author still messed up, blatantly using the biological warfare unit in the war to engage in underhanded tactics, ultimately making himself disliked by everyone, and both his grades and reputation continued to decline.

But even such a bizarre work produced an "Omar" (or "Omar").

In Li Wei's opinion, "Hundred" was a boring anime that made him want to take a nap. The only interesting thing about the whole show was the giant O student council president, Clare Harvey, and her two henchmen.

Although such a review might seem excessive to those who like the work, Li Wei's first thought after watching "Hundred" was, "That's it?"

Having watched too many formulaic anime, this traditional formula felt too outdated for Li Wei. Apart from a few characters, the whole work didn't really appeal to him.

But for the sake of the character Kureya, Levi felt that the trip would be worthwhile. Moreover, this short journey might yield some other gains in that world, such as digging for gold underground, which would be quite important.

Moreover, the magical artifact set he possesses requires a large amount of gold to enhance his strength and advance his level. It can be said that even in a slice-of-life anime world, he could still extract value from it.

In the world of battle anime, there are gameplay elements; in the world of slice-of-life anime, there are corresponding gameplay elements. Li Wei is like playing one role after another, constantly experiencing new and exciting games.

For the world he was going to visit this time, Li Wei didn't plan to do too much research. After all, it was just a short trip for him. In the world of "Hundred", he had only watched the anime and hadn't read the novel. The benefits he could extract were incomplete, but he didn't care about that. In his opinion, as long as he could take Kureia Harvey with him, it would be a worthwhile trip.

After making the preparations, Li Wei directly fixed the computer screen on the first episode of "Hundred" and set the time to be half a month before the start of school.

A strange spatial fluctuation flashed by, and Li Wei's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

When Li Wei opened his eyes, he was high in the sky. Since he had not chosen a specific landing location, Li Wei changed his location to the high sky, which made it easier for him to move to different areas.

Now, he needs to visit a key figure. This figure doesn't have many scenes, but he is someone who influences many events behind the scenes. In order to make his actions more convenient, Li Wei wants to control this person first. Even if he can't turn him into a puppet, he must at least maintain a relatively stable cooperative relationship.

Using a location spell, Li Wei located his target, Judal Harvey, in just a few seconds.

When Levi appeared in front of Judal Harvey, the latter was a little taken aback, but after all, he was an ambitious golden fox, and he quickly adjusted his mindset in just a few seconds.

Judal Harvey observed Levi, who had suddenly appeared before him, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty. Levi's sudden appearance before him, without any warning, was like a hallucination, which raised his vigilance to the highest level.

"This unknown gentleman, has suddenly appeared here? Is there something important you want to discuss with me?" Judar maintained his smile. For him, a smile was the best mask, allowing him to conceal his true emotions and thoughts.

Li Wei walked up to the other person. It was a huge office, which looked like Judar's private office space.

Judal Harvey, the leader of the Valslan Society, was someone Levi knew very little about because he hadn't read the subsequent novels. But that didn't matter. As long as he controlled the other party directly, he could obtain all of the other party's memories. No matter what schemes or ambitions the other party had, he would know everything about them.

“I’m not here to greet you or discuss anything with you. From now on, I’ll have to trouble you to become my puppet,” Li Wei said.

"Oh? Is this considered a collaboration? If so, what benefits will I get?" Judar, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem or understood the true meaning of "puppet" in Li Wei's words, still negotiated with Li Wei as usual, as if he were bargaining with his competitors and partners.

“I’m sorry, you seem to have misunderstood me, but it doesn’t matter. Soon you won’t have to think about anything. Also, the distress signal you pressed is useless. Just now, when I arrived here, I cut off all communication between this place and the outside world and created a fake message. Now, no one outside can detect what’s going on here,” Li Wei said calmly.

Chapter 44. Who is the real villain?

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Judar's expression changed. He realized that the being before him was a monster beyond common sense. He had pressed the distress button for several seconds, but there was no response from the outside world, and the special defensive mechanism on the desk had not been activated. Li Wei's abilities far exceeded his imagination.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down Judar's forehead. He tried his best to control his expression and said, "I can try my best to satisfy your desires, even becoming a puppet is not out of the question. But how can my safety be guaranteed?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about safety. After all, I don't want to see anything happen to someone as useful as you."

Li Wei reached out his hand, and Judar floated up as if he had lost gravity.

"To possess such power without using the Hundred Armor, who exactly are you?" Judar finally lost his composure, his eyes filled with barely suppressed terror.

Humans can now do all sorts of incredible things with technology, but all of these rely on the power of external objects. Li Wei was able to do such things without using any external objects, which he found extremely absurd.

Li Wei smiled and said, "You were just a human being who transcended humanity. Now, please rest in peace."

Judar tried to struggle, but the gap in strength between the two sides was simply too great. Although he had many trump cards up his sleeve, when facing a "big shot" like Li Wei, even revealing his trump cards was futile.

To Livy, who had single-handedly destroyed the world, the power wielded by Judar was nothing more than a large ant.

Just like the so-called "barbarians" who invaded this world, Li Wei was able to easily wipe them all out single-handedly. This is the absolute difference in power. In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery is just a joke.

Judar struggled twice before losing consciousness. His brain had been invaded by Li Wei's divine sense. Although he also possessed a certain degree of extraordinary power, his strength was still far inferior to Li Wei's. Although he tried his best to fight back, his futile resistance was futile and he was instantly crushed by Li Wei's immense divine sense.

Li Wei has already gained control of Judar's body; now he only needs to modify it to obtain a puppet clone with high status and power.

The greatest advantage of the puppet clone technique is that it saves Li Wei's main body a lot of trouble.

Li Wei said calmly, "I have no interest in your schemes and ambitions. In fact, ambitious people and schemers are all pretty much the same. What they pursue is nothing more than power and influence, money and beauty. Although they may cloak their desires in the guise of justice and even come up with some deceptive rhetoric, I am the same kind of person as them. Do you think I don't know what they want?"

By reading Judal's memories, Levi has gained a considerable understanding of his ambitions. Judal wants to use the new technology, the so-called Hundred Armed technology, to realize his ambitions and become the true king of the world.

In Li Wei's view, such ambition was quite good; aiming to rule the world was a grand ambition that Li Wei would admire. Unfortunately, he currently needed Judal's status and position; otherwise, he would have liked to discuss with Judal how to conquer the world.

Li Wei admired Judal because Judal's style of doing things was similar to his own; both of them liked to crush a crab with a boulder and achieve their goals through absolute power.

Unlike politicians who enjoy empty talk, Judal is a monarch-type ambitious man who pursues power. His plan is quite simple and brutal: to use his Valslan company to maintain control over the advanced technology of 100-armed weapons and to develop strategic 100-armed weapons to replace nuclear weapons as a new deterrent.

Meanwhile, once the new technology matures and is put into practical use, Judar will use the power of his hands to wipe out the "savages" who have invaded Earth. At the same time, he will use the power of his hundred-armed forces to enter space, actively eliminate the heads of the savages, and keep their numbers within an acceptable range.

Here, Judal chose to control the number of barbarians rather than completely eliminate them. This was partly due to the desire to maintain his power by supporting the barbarians. Only if the barbarians continued to exist could he legally and reasonably maintain a relatively large and high-ranking army as the basis for his rule.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

When faced with situations where it's inconvenient to act openly, one can lure the barbarians to the enemy's territory, use the barbarians to eliminate their adversaries, and then "send down justice" to defeat the rebellious barbarians, achieving both fame and fortune.

It can be said that if this rock-solid plan continues to proceed, as long as nothing goes wrong, or Judal himself falters, it's only a matter of time before he rules the earth.

To achieve this goal, Judal is willing to sacrifice his close friends and family. As a qualified ambitious man, this is quite to Li Wei's liking. After all, those who achieve great things cannot be sentimental, especially before they have gained an absolute advantage in strength and power. Sentimentality is a fatal weakness.

As an ambitious man with a sharp mind, Li Wei admires Judal's steady and methodical approach, but now, the identity of Judal will become his new disguise.

Li Wei dragged Judal directly into his sea of ​​consciousness and began the puppet-making transformation. The basic abilities of this body were quite poor. Compared with Geese Howard and Krauser von Stroheim, whom he had modified before, it was a complete waste of energy. This forced Li Wei to spend more effort to strengthen the basic abilities of this body.

The modification took about half an hour. After completing the modification, Li Wei returned to the outside world with his new puppet clone.

Judar's clone looked at Li Wei's main body and laughed, "Leave all the trivial matters here to me. The enrollment status can be completed in just a few hours."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow. He had gradually gotten used to this feeling of talking to himself. On the surface, it looked like a split personality, but in reality, all his thought processes were under his control. It was a bit like multitasking in StarCraft, except that Li Wei could use individual thought processes to simplify this multitasking to the extreme.

Chapter 44. Instructor's Identity

Having acquired all of Judar's memories, Levi gained a considerable understanding of this world, which indirectly granted him access to a significant number of spatial coordinates. After leaving Judar's office, Levi went to Judar's nearby mansion to stay for a few days.

Just after Li Wei's main body left the office, Judar's clone made a phone call.

"Commander-in-Chief, what are your orders?"

"Come to my office later and help me with my identification."

"Ok."

Judar's clone hung up the phone. As the head of the Valslan Company, this identity possessed immense wealth and power that ordinary people could hardly imagine. Not to mention anything else, the "Little Garden," a mobile sea fortress with a four-kilometer-long wheelbase, was something that money could not measure.

Valslan, possessing a wealth of advanced technologies, is, in some ways, a behemoth akin to a nation-state. Although Valslan operates as a business conglomerate, its activities and armed forces are comparable to those of some major powers, and it could even hold its own against some major powers in a direct confrontation.

Out of fear and a desire to keep Valslan in check, the major powers have implicitly acknowledged Valslan's special status. It can be said that Judal's current position is no less than that of the royal families of the oil-producing nations in the East. Moreover, unlike the royal families of the Eastern oil-producing countries who are often exploited, Judal's position as the ruler of Valslan is comparable to that of the top officials of those major powers.

After returning to the mansion of Judar's clone, Li Wei released his underground-specific puppet, which he used to mine gold. He planned to start collecting gold now, so that he could accumulate a considerable income by the time he left.

The next day, Li Wei received his own legal identity document. Now he has a complete set of identification documents for activities here, and these documents were all made through formal procedures, so no matter how you check, there will be no omissions.

Meanwhile, Judar's clone also summoned his sister, Kureya Harvey, to Valslan's headquarters.
