A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

“I know a little bit.” Li Wei once again gestured with his “fingertip universe” gesture.

Kureha was surprised. If Levi wasn't exaggerating, then his abilities were indeed genius-level. After all, an individual's energy is limited, and it's impossible to do everything well. So, ordinary people can only become experts in a certain field, perfecting their strengths. To be proficient in multiple fields across different areas is no easy feat.

Kureya said, "It seems like you know so many things. Is there anything you can't do?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "There are actually quite a few things I don't know."

Li Wei inwardly wanted to complain, because something like childbirth was something he couldn't do alone without a woman's cooperation. Of course, creating a puppet clone from scratch using human cells was a different matter altogether, going beyond the scope of childbirth.

As the two strolled past the pianos on the street, Li Wei thought to himself, "Walsland really spares no expense. The public pianos on the pedestrian street, provided for passersby to play, are all top-of-the-line models worth hundreds of thousands." However, the security here is excellent; even with such valuable pieces left out, no one would dare to steal them. If this were in the real world, in America, the entire piano would probably have been bought and stolen.

Li Wei opened the piano key cover, adjusted the stool height, and sat down. Kureya stood behind Li Wei, arms crossed, ready to assess just how good Li Wei's musical skills were. Generally speaking, people who dare to say they are good at a certain instrument are usually quite skilled.

Li Wei said, "Then I'll just improvise."

Although Li Wei appreciates classical piano pieces, he doesn't particularly like them. He prefers to improvise based on his current mood. For him, musical instruments are a medium for expressing his own emotions, while classical pieces represent the emotions of others. It's not easy for an individual to immerse themselves in the thoughts of others, so he prefers to be himself.

A melodious and clear sound rang out. Although Kureya herself had never studied piano, she still had the ability to appreciate art. After all, the elite education she received included art appreciation as a subject. From painting to music, to sculpture and literature, she had a very high level of appreciation skills.

The moment the music began, she knew that Li Wei's skill on the piano was far beyond what she could do; it was at a master level. Li Wei's hands were incredibly steady, and the transitions between each note were remarkably smooth. The music flowed seamlessly and naturally. Although it was a score she had never heard before, a complete picture was already forming in her mind. She seemed to see Venice.

Chapter 4. A Familiar Feeling

When the music ended, Kureya was still somewhat dazed. Li Wei's music had woven a beautiful picture before her eyes, and she was so engrossed in it that the music's cessation forcibly pulled her back to reality.

Kureya looked at Levi with a complicated expression. This man was one of the most outstanding men she had ever met, and more charming than anyone else. Just being by his side gave her a comfortable feeling. Such charm was already cheating.

Li Weisong loosened his grip. Unlike professional pianists who need to practice regularly every day to maintain their form, the piano was more of a form of entertainment for him to cultivate his mind and spirit.

Li Wei said, "It's been a while since I practiced, so I'm a little rusty. Would you like to play another piece?"

Kureha snapped out of her reverie and said, "Can we continue? Let's have another song then. It would be a shame to end it here. Of course, one more song is enough."

Kureya knew that playing the piano was tiring. She had practiced piano before, but although she couldn't stick with it, she knew how difficult it was to play. To reach the level of Li Wei, it was impossible without long-term hard practice.

She did not make a sound to disturb Li Wei's performance. In her opinion, it was extremely rude to make a sound while appreciating someone else's performance, and Li Wei's performance was so wonderful that she would not forgive herself for doing such a thing.

Before they knew it, more and more people had gathered around. Upon hearing Li Wei's impromptu performance, passersby stopped in their tracks, fell silent, and listened to his music.

Some people even took out their PDAs and started recording Li Wei as he was playing.

The venue was very quiet, with only the melodious and lively piano music audible. Li Wei, in a cheerful mood, played in a relaxed and lively style, with a touch of girlish cuteness and a hint of boyish exuberance. The sweet notes brought smiles to the faces of the audience, as if they were recalling happy memories.

The performance lasted for several minutes, and the people who stopped didn't make a sound until Li Wei finished playing, at which point they gave him thunderous applause.

Li Wei stood up, placed one hand on his chest, and bowed to the crowd like an ancient nobleman.

This scene brought smiles to everyone's faces. The people who could stay on this maritime academy city ship were all very well-mannered, so after seeing Li Wei salute, they all returned the salute in their own ways.

After bowing, Li Wei and Kureha left the group.

"It seems everyone likes you a lot," Kuraya remarked.

However, it's understandable that Li Wei would be so popular given his qualifications. After all, people have a high level of respect for musicians, especially in places with a strong economic foundation and a high average level of education. Judal is building this place as the capital of his future kingdom, so everyone here undergoes multiple screenings. Whether it's personal ability or moral character, everyone must pass an assessment before they can enter.

Only martial arts students, who are a privileged class, can have their standards lowered in this vetting process. For non-martial arts students, even regular soldiers stationed here, the vetting standards will not be relaxed in the slightest.

Li Wei said, "Only the people here would have such thoughts. This utopia is called the Little Garden because, in Judar's view, it is pure and clean, and everyone's mental state is very good. However, this kind of protection, if it goes on for a long time, will also make the people here no longer able to adapt to the harsh environment outside."

Kureya said, "I understand this, but it's my brother's decision, and I won't interfere rashly. Besides, this environment is quite good, and we have the ability to protect them."

Li Wei scoffed, "That's why I think Judar is an elitist who likes to divide people into three classes, and he also has a serious moral fastidiousness. But that's also why I share his views. If the overall moral environment of a group is clean, then the average moral quality of the group will improve, because people with low moral quality will be abandoned by the group. Regardless of whether the individuals in the group are truly morally superior or just pretending, overall, the moral quality of the group has improved."

Kureya said, "There's a saying in Chongguo: 'Judging by actions, not intentions.' A person with an evil heart is a good person if he does good deeds all his life and doesn't break his vows even when he dies. My brother and I share the same view on this. Only rules can bring order and happiness to everyone. What we need to do is prevent those with power from trampling on the rules."

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

The name "Little Garden" has many origins, and this is one of them. Kureya herself isn't an elitist, but she adheres to her own moral principles, believing that with great power comes great responsibility. However, she also knows that this idealistic thinking only works in a place like Little Garden where the average person has a high level of moral character; outside of it, her efforts would be unrewarded.

The two walked until they reached a point where they needed to part ways.

“Then I’ll head back now. I’m very happy today. Your music helped me forget the troubles of everyday life.” Kureya put her hands behind her back.

Li Wei smiled and said, "If you like, I can play a piece just for you, and the first impromptu piece I'll be playing today is actually for you."

Kureha gasped for breath, then turned her head away and said, "Do I give you a complicated feeling?"

Kureya herself understood music. She heard liveliness and joy, as well as heroism and positivity in the piece. When she heard the piece, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. She never expected that the piece was written about her.

Kureya said, "You seem to know me very well. Did my brother tell you about me?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "I only composed that piece based on my first impression, but when I talk to you, I feel like I'm meeting an old friend. Perhaps I really do understand you."

Kureha resented Li Wei's charm. Even though the words were just ordinary, the way Li Wei spoke them had an indescribable allure, almost like a confession, making her heart race.

However, she enjoyed being with Li Wei. Just as Erica said, being with Li Wei always made her feel like she was in love, because Li Wei was so gentle with girls. She knew that this gentleness wasn't just for her personally, but she still couldn't control her heart.

Kureya sighed and said, "I have to go now. See you tomorrow. As the coach, you still need to prepare your speech for the opening ceremony. Just don't forget what to say when you're standing on the stage."

"This is nothing to me," Li Wei said with a smile.

Chapter 4. Opening Ceremony

After returning to his dormitory, Li Wei began preparing his speech for the opening ceremony. This was not a difficult task for him, but with such a big change in the plot, it was uncertain whether there would be any conflict with the original opening ceremony.

The original plot, particularly the opening ceremony scene in episode [number], completely destroyed any goodwill Li Wei had towards the female lead. As a Chinese person, and someone who understands the spirit of the Chinese military, he was extremely disgusted by the female lead's nonsensical statements.

Time flies, and the start of the school year is drawing near. The small garden is ready to welcome the new students. Some of the students who arrived early have already begun to familiarize themselves with the school environment. In the Martial Arts Department, the boarding procedures for new students are relatively complicated because there are many inspection items. As for the students from other colleges, Li Wei checked the internal materials and found that about 70% of them have arrived.

The original story's male protagonist, Hayato Kisaragi, has already attracted a lot of attention despite not having enrolled at school yet, due to his record-breaking crystal reaction value.

Of course, Levi didn't reveal his crystal reaction values. If he had, Kisaragi Hayato's achievement wouldn't have been anything special. But Levi didn't want to show off in such matters, so he left the top spot in reaction values ​​to Kisaragi Hayato.

On the first day of school, Kisaragi Hayato arrived at Kohana from Japan on a special transport plane that was there to pick him up. The plot continued in a similar manner, with two newly enrolled female students setting up a banner on the side of the airport runway, welcoming Kisaragi Hayato to school and preparing a welcoming ceremony for him.

Hayato Kisaragi, who didn't want to be in the spotlight, simply slipped away. On the way, he encountered the white-haired heroine Emil (pseudonym). After some playful fighting, the two headed towards the venue for the freshman orientation ceremony. Just like in the original story, the two girls who were there to greet Hayato Kisaragi missed the ceremony.

Faced with this situation, Li Wei could only sigh, "It happened anyway." However, he felt no sympathy for the two female students. In his view, they had disregarded school rules and regulations, which was a fatal flaw for martial arts practitioners.

The opening ceremony proceeded as scheduled, and there was no special waiting for the two individuals who were absent.

The spacious hall was filled not only with this year's freshmen, but also with all the upperclassmen who had entered the school before. The only sound in the hall was the students' quiet whispers. Although the opening ceremony had not yet officially started, they all instinctively suppressed their voices.

Located on the viewing platform above the podium, Li Wei and his team used high-tech equipment to scan the students sitting below and thus learn about their attendance.

Looking at the feedback on the instrument's external output screen, Lydia said to Kuraya and Levi beside her, "Lady Kuraya, Instructor Levi, the number of people who should be present at the venue is [number], and the number of people actually present is [number], meaning two people are absent."

Kureya said, "Don't tell me you got lost on the way or encountered some unexpected situation. I need their data and location history."

Erica tapped a few times on the external keyboard of her laptop, and two personnel files popped up. She then turned the laptop toward Kuraya.

“Noah Sheldon, Liu Xuemei, I’ve remembered these two names. I’m very familiar with all the freshmen this year. It’s a pity about these two,” Kureya said.

Lydie said, "Lady Kuraya, I've also checked their real-time location history. They've been in the starting area for too long and missed the best time to leave. It will take them another ten minutes to reach the venue."

Kureya said, "The start of school will proceed as scheduled. I know how to deal with the two of them. Martial artists are also military personnel. Although they can only be considered as reserves now, they are still military personnel. The two of them can only be used as an example to warn others."

Li Wei, arms crossed, nodded and said, "I have no objection to that. You all know I come from Chong Kingdom. For Chong soldiers, orders and military discipline are paramount. Their fighting power comes from discipline and orders. Violating military discipline and orders, no matter what punishment they suffer, does not deserve sympathy..."

Kureya nodded. Liu Xuemei was Li Wei's compatriot, and since Li Wei had no objection to her decision, she didn't need to have any reservations.

When the time came, the opening ceremony proceeded as scheduled, and Kureya began to give a speech on the stage. She had memorized her speech of more than a hundred words in advance for this opening ceremony. Although the content seemed to be not much, considering the changes in tone, it would take a certain amount of time to finish saying all those words.

After Kureya finished speaking, it was Li Wei's turn to go on stage. Li Wei hadn't expected to be the villain, but it didn't matter. He didn't have any good feelings towards the male and female protagonists of "Hundred" anyway, and he wasn't worried about offending them.

Just as Li Wei was halfway through his speech, the side door of the venue was gently pushed open, and two figures tiptoed towards the audience seats.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and two spotlights suddenly lit up, illuminating the two figures who had sneaked in. He said, "The opening ceremony has been going on for a while now. Noah Sheldon and Liu Xuemei, you are more than ten minutes late."

The two girls froze on the spot, as if they had been electrocuted, too scared to move.

Wearing a mask, Li Wei said, "Your current behavior can be considered a serious violation of discipline. According to the rules here, please be prepared to be expelled from school."

Just then, the Taoist figure stood up and said loudly, "This is outrageous! It's only ten minutes late, yet they want to expel him? This rule is so inhumane!"

The speaker was none other than the white-haired heroine, now known as Emil, a pretty girl. Hayato Kisaragi pulled Emil aside, trying to get her to sit down, but Emil, stubborn as ever, pushed his hand away and said, "Don't stop me. I must stop this injustice. Besides, we're responsible for what happened to those two girls."

Hayato Kisaragi didn't know what to say, because what Emil said was true, and whether he chose to stop him or not, it would be wrong.

Chapter 4. Minor Turmoil

Li Wei looked at the white-clad girl dressed as a man. His true expression was hidden behind the mask, so Emil couldn't see the playful look on Li Wei's face.

Li Wei asked, "Do you have any objections to my decision?"

"Of course, it's only ten minutes late. At most, they'll get a major demerit, and they'll be expelled without any leniency. This is just too much!" Emil said loudly.

All the freshmen looked at her. At this moment, Emil attracted everyone's attention. However, some senior students also showed pity. Compared with the freshmen who did not know much about Li Wei, the senior students who had witnessed Li Wei's strength in the training ground could only sigh that Emil was simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and did not understand that the privileges enjoyed by the students of the Martial Arts Department came at a price.

Li Wei said calmly, "Emil Crawford, do you know why I was so decisive in ordering them both to be expelled? And Liu Xuemei is practically my compatriot, but I still did it."

“Who would know about this?,?!,'?!;..?『';!."!』?,:,.:,..?'."',『",:.』.,!"',!,'.',;:Backup."""?;.You sneaky little devil!” Emil shouted.

Despite Emil's harsh words, Levi remained completely calm. People from privileged classes like Emil couldn't possibly understand the meaning of order and discipline.

Li Wei said calmly, "My motherland has the world's number one army. Although the status of conventional armies has declined a lot with the birth of the Hundred Armor Crystal, they are still the world's number one martial artist support force. Why is that?"

Emil did not answer, because she did not know much about this matter, and a hasty reply might fall into Levi's linguistic trap.

Li Wei continued, "Because they possess iron discipline, they are like millions of people! That's the real secret to their strength! Once, China and South Korea fought a brutal war in South Korea. A soldier from my country, hidden in the grass, surrounded by flames, gritted his teeth and endured the flames to avoid revealing his comrades' positions, burning to death! Even in death, he didn't move or cry out, because he knew that doing so would expose his own attack formation. In another battle, an entire company of soldiers ambushed in the snowfield. They were frozen into ice sculptures, but not a single one of them moved erratically, because their orders were to lie in ambush and wait for an opportunity to attack. So, they carried out this order with their lives!"

The entire auditorium was completely silent. What Li Wei had said was incredibly shocking to them. Many of them had never heard of such absolute discipline and execution of orders before. This level of discipline was something that ordinary armies could not achieve.

Li Wei pointed at Emil and said, "If you had already trained and become qualified martial artists, intercepting the barbarian invasion on the front lines, behind you would be countless homes lit up with lights, and before you would be terrifying enemies! But these two, due to various reasons, failed to arrive at the battlefield in time, delaying the battle and causing the entire defensive line to collapse. At that time, it wouldn't just be a matter of a few people dying; the entire city would be slaughtered by the barbarians! Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of people would perish because of the negligence of these two! Tell me! Is my decision to expel them from school reasonable or excessive?!"

Towards the end, Li Wei slammed his hand on the podium and shouted it out in an almost roaring tone.

Noah Sheldon and Liu Xuemei were already pale and tearful. They had never realized that their lateness would be so serious.
