A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

"Is my brother in a dangerous situation right now?" Kuraya asked.

Li Wei said, "Pretty much. There was another assassination attempt on him in the past two days, but it failed. By tracing back, the intelligence department found out who was behind this plan."

"Who is it?!" Kuraya asked hurriedly.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's a North American financial group. Some of them are old financial groups that control financial power, and some are military-industrial complexes that sell arms all over the world. Judar blocked their path to wealth, so they planned to eliminate Judar."

Kureya nodded. She could understand such a thing. After all, the existence of Valslan had already made it difficult for traditional military-industrial companies to operate, so it wasn't surprising that they would use such methods to target her brother. After all, the North American military-industrial complex had a long-standing tradition of sending their competitors to fight.

However, Valslan's strength is far beyond that of the military-industrial complex. Only if the other side can mobilize the power of the entire country can it pose a threat to Valslan, and even then, it will only be a threat.

Valslan possesses the world's most advanced weapon crystal technology, and its manufactured weapons are sold globally. While major powers use their own manufactured weapon crystals, Valslan's mass-produced weapon crystals, with their extremely high cost-effectiveness, have squeezed out the products of smaller nations, making them virtually unsellable.

Arms orders like these are often seen as a form of pledge of allegiance from smaller nations to larger ones. The message is: I buy your weapons to secure a place behind your big brother. However, Valslan breaks with this traditional pledge of allegiance. With its powerful military, Valslan can guarantee its clients' interests and has proven its capabilities in several combat operations. That's why smaller nations choose Valslan's products.

In Li Wei's view, Judal was indeed a capable and ruthless leader. Even if he hadn't controlled him, if things had continued to develop in this way, Valslan would have grown into a global behemoth. It's just that his arrival accelerated this process.

Kureya said, "I believe my brother can handle these matters. My job is to protect this rear area for him."

Kureya knew the importance of the Small Garden. The Small Garden was an important scientific research and military base for Valslan. Its relatively closed environment was the best environment for scientific research to be kept secret. Nearly 90% of Valslan's core scientific research institutions were on this giant ship with a length of four kilometers, so there could be no mistakes here.

Just as the two were enjoying the slightly warm atmosphere, Kuraya's PDA rang.

Kureya connected the communication, and Lydie's voice rang out: "Lady Kureya, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but the radar reports that a hypersonic vehicle is approaching about 100 kilometers northeast of the Little Garden. The countermeasures team has determined it to be an anti-ship missile. Moreover, there are barbarian airborne units invading overhead. We are currently contacting Instructor Li Wei."

Li Wei said, "I'll stay here with Kureya."

Erica's voice came from the other end, saying, "It's great to have Instructor Levi here. The emergency response team has been dispatched to intercept the incoming anti-ship missiles. We'll leave the barbarian airborne troops to you, Instructor."

Li Wei raised his head. The slightly gray sky was lit up with tiny specks of light. With his superhuman eyesight, he could see clearly what those specks were. They were oval-shaped chitinous drop pods. Although the individual barbarians all had the ability to enter the atmosphere with their own bodies, they used drop pods to reduce the consumption of energy during atmospheric entry. They were also quite intelligent beings.

Chapter 4. Interception

Kureya said, "I'll deploy interceptor missiles directly from my side, and Levi's side will do the same immediately."

Just above the two men, more than a dozen fully armed martial artists were already advancing at full speed towards the direction of the incoming missile, ready to intercept it.

Kureya hung up the call and said to Li Wei, "Don't take the barbecue away yet. I'll be right back. By then, the fish should be ready to grill noodles."

Li Wei quickly flipped the octopus skewer over and took out his weapon crystal. Both of them quickly completed their armored gear. Kureya lightly leaped into the air and chased after the troops that had already left, while Li Wei also soared into the sky, climbing straight upwards.

Li Wei's PDA communication was also connected, and a slightly immature male voice came from the other end.

"Coach Levi, this is analyst Chris. Please turn on the tactical view interface. I will project the content directly onto the tactical view interface."

A machine resembling a Dragon Ball power level detector was also attached to the left eye of Li Wei's mask. Instantly, a large amount of data began to be displayed. The system, which could be controlled by brainwaves, allowed Li Wei to quickly browse mission briefings. This technology was at least thirty years ahead of the current technology in the real world.

Li Wei's altitude rose rapidly, and he soon reached the same height as the barbarian airborne troops. Then he noticed something was wrong. A device that seemed to be man-made was steadily descending below the barbarians. According to the trajectory calculated by the tactical visual interface, the landing point of this airborne force of dozens of barbarians was exactly the small garden.

"A brilliant plan to use someone else to do the dirty work. I never expected that Judar's method, which he hadn't even been able to implement, would already be put into actual combat." Li Wei relayed this information back to the command post in the small garden.

This device, resembling debris from a fallen satellite, was disguised. If it weren't for Li Wei's extraordinary perception, far surpassing that of mechanics, he could easily mistake it for some kind of mechanical fragment.

Satellites in high Earth orbit are now easily attacked by barbarians, so satellite debris falls into the atmosphere from time to time, and people have become accustomed to this.

Moreover, with the addition of martial artists, launching satellites is now much cheaper than before. Previously, each satellite launch required a large-scale operation, using expensive launch vehicles to take the satellite outside the atmosphere. However, with martial artists wearing armor, they can easily break through the atmosphere from the ground. So now, launching a satellite only requires the martial artist to pull the satellite upwards, reducing the cost from millions of dollars to a mere lavish dinner.

The barbarians frequently attacked human satellites, so humanity launched even more satellites into space. If one of our satellites was destroyed, we would immediately replace it with ten more. Moreover, after minimizing both launch and maintenance costs, humanity deployed a large number of armed satellites in outer space. These satellites served as both a strategic threat to each other internally and as the first line of defense against the barbarians.

Therefore, the frequent shooting down of armed satellites is a very common occurrence for the general public, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

Li Wei knew that the other party was taking advantage of this psychological blind spot to make underhanded moves.

Li Wei quickly descended, dragging the "fragment" that was as big as his own body.

"I've retrieved the device that was distributing the special message. Someone come and take it. I'm now preparing to deal with these barbarians," Li Wei said.

"Okay, the recovery team has set off. Please leave a locator on the device, and the recovery team will immediately head to the crash site," Chris said in the communication.

Li Wei removed a locator from his forearm armor and attached it to the fragment. At the same time, he threw the fragment in another direction. The immense force caused the self-propelled fragment to deviate from its trajectory. The special locator, disguised as satellite debris, was covered with numerous vector thrusters and could freely adjust its trajectory before hitting the ground. However, Li Wei's strength was simply too great; a casual throw caused it to completely deviate from its course.

After the bio-engineering device deviated from its orbit, the individual barbarian drop pods also began to change course, moving towards the bio-engineering device. Now their fall path has changed, and they are falling in this direction, deviating from their original landing point, the small garden, by at least a hundred kilometers.

Li Wei looked down and saw several small dots starting to move in this direction. The feedback from the armor indicated that the recovery team was moving from the direction of the small garden.

Li Wei turned his head and looked at the barbarian airdrop pods chasing after the communication device. He then launched an artillery barrage. To a powerful figure like him, no matter what kind of individual barbarian they were, they were just ants that could be crushed with a finger. The torrent of golden light that filled the sky instantly annihilated all the airdrop pods.

After completing his mission, Li Wei located the real-time coordinates of Kuraya and the others, then began to dive and descend, closing in on them.

When Li Wei arrived, Kureya and the interception team had already intercepted the three anti-ship missiles. Anti-ship missiles in their terminal phase can reach speeds exceeding Mach, making interception difficult even for an elite martial artist like Kureya.

"Two more, relative angle, altitude, prepare to intercept!" Kureya kept adjusting her angle, but the team's shooting angles were not very good, and they would need to intercept several times before they could shoot down the last two.

Numerous energy beams wove together to form a firepower network. When an anti-ship missile directly collided with this network, the intense heat, comparable to the surface of a star, instantly detonated the missile.

However, another anti-ship missile slipped through a gap in the energy network and continued its advance.

"Prepare for pursuit!" Kuraya shouted.

With the Little Garden's defensive capabilities, anti-ship missiles wouldn't even scratch the outer shield, but being a bit of a perfectionist, she didn't want to miss out on these anti-ship missiles.

At that very moment, the golden particle shockwave from above struck the missed anti-ship missile, and the explosion sent flames soaring into the sky.

The pedestrians looked up and saw Li Wei slowly descending.

"That's a wrap," Li Wei said with a smile. Although he was wearing a mask that covered his entire face, his voice was still incredibly infectious. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him.

Chapter 4. Matryoshka Dolls

After intercepting the missile, the pedestrians began to return. Li Wei and Kureya had only been out for a few minutes. For the two of them, intercepting missiles and barbarians would not be too difficult without the intervention of a third party.

After returning to the ship, the two enjoyed a barbecue dinner before heading to the central command area in the small garden.

Upon arriving at the Command Center, Levi and Claire saw Charlotte Dementius, who had just finished her work. Although Charlotte looked like a little girl, her true age was a mystery; it was speculated that she was over 30, but her appearance was deceptively similar to that of the cute teacher from "A Certain Magical Index."

Charlotte was wearing a student uniform with a white lab coat over it, small gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, and a lollipop dangling from her mouth.

“Eating candy at this time will cause cavities,” Kuraya said.

"I'm not a child anymore. I brush my teeth properly every day, how could I possibly have cavities? Let's not get off topic, Kuraya. I've already taken apart and studied the thing Levi brought back, but I haven't found much of a clue."

"Is there no way to trace it back?" Kuraya asked.

Charlotte shrugged and said, "That's impossible. This thing started its descent from outer space and made numerous orbital changes along the way. I checked its orbital change records and traced it back to the original landing point in high orbit, but when I connected to Valslan's overall database, there were no satellites at that location at the time. Of course, it's also possible that this thing was manually thrown by a martial artist. Anyway, no matter how I check, I can't get much useful information from it."

Kureya said, "Let's relay this to my brother and have the intelligence department at headquarters investigate. This matter can't just be left like this."

Charlotte said, "There are several suspected countries and forces. Based on the information we have now, we can't determine who is the mastermind."

"And what about the anti-ship missiles? Did the satellites capture anything?" Kuraya asked.

Charlotte shook her head again and said, "I've already submitted an application to headquarters and collected satellite footage from most of the Earth's atmosphere, but we haven't found any suspicious vessels. I suspect that they're using a submarine for a submarine-launched attack. That's why we can't find our target."

Charlotte didn't suspect the other side was using a land-based launch because Valslan's satellites were locked onto all countries possessing ultra-long-range strategic cruise missiles. A land-based launch simply couldn't evade satellite surveillance. Moreover, the videos brought back by Kuraya and others confirmed that the missile type didn't match; land-based strategic cruise missiles are much larger. Only in this way could a strategic cruise missile maintain sufficient acceleration to strike its target after traversing more than half the globe.

However, based on the video, the missile intercepted by humans was much smaller than the land-based missile, suggesting it was a sea-based anti-ship missile at close range.

If no ship can be found to launch the missile, then it can only be a submarine-launched missile. Only a few major powers possess this submarine-launched missile technology, so there aren't many suspects.

Li Wei said, "It's certain that those anti-ship missiles were just decoys. The real killer is the barbarian airborne troops above us. You've probably seen the video I brought back."

Charlotte said, "Of course I saw it. I have to say, you're really amazing. That was a fairly large airborne team, more than ten of them, and you took them all out with a single attack. If it were any other interception team, they might have suffered heavy losses and wouldn't have been able to stop them all."

Li Wei said, "Check the deployment records of the joint interception force and see if there is any usable information."

Charlotte nodded. On Levi's side, he had already started to get the Judar puppets moving. The Little Garden was also a very important logistical base for Levi. The other side had actually plotted against him. Naturally, he wouldn't pretend that such a thing hadn't happened.

However, investigating this matter thoroughly is not an easy task.

The view is different depending on the height you stand at. In the original story of the anime, it is told from the perspective of Hayato Kisaragi, so most of the time it is a youth campus comedy. However, as a high-ranking member of Valslan, Levi's position is so high and powerful that he is surrounded by all kinds of conspiracies and schemes, and even he finds it difficult to avoid them.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

For the next few days, things were calm in the small garden. Ordinary people had no idea about the previous attack. Whether it was intercepting anti-ship missiles or intercepting the barbarian airborne troops, it was kept secret from ordinary people. Only a very small number of people who participated in the mission and the core personnel of the command center knew about this incident.

However, information from Valslan headquarters brought these people together again.

In a small conference room next to the command center, Levi, Clare, Lydie, Erica, Charlotte, Chris, and the core members of the ship sat down around the conference table.

The interface projected onto the wall by the projector contained important intelligence from headquarters.

Charlotte said, "After considerable effort, the intelligence personnel at headquarters finally caught the other side red-handed. Following the trail, they traced it back to the Amei Nikan Kingdom. But things weren't that simple. Further investigation revealed that it was the Ying Kingdom that had impersonated the Amei Nikan Kingdom to pull this off. They had two backup plans, but unfortunately, our intelligence personnel still uncovered them. For this intelligence, the intelligence department paid the price with two lives."

. .

Kureya sighed and said, "Still such a troublemaker, always scheming behind the scenes."

Although Kureya has some Ying Kingdom blood, she knows what those so-called Ying Lun gentlemen are like, and putting herself in their shoes, she can understand why they would do such a thing.

Since ancient times, the UK has been a country that likes to act as an "offshore balancer." Historically, its most frequent activity has been to sow discord among various parties, causing them to fight to the death, while it reaps the benefits.

This time, it will probably be the same old routine. Whether the anti-ship missiles successfully bombarded Little Garden or the barbarian airborne troops landed on top of Little Garden, it would be a very embarrassing thing for Valslan. If it could cause direct damage to Valslan, that would be even better.

If this intelligence gathering fails to be thoroughly investigated, then Valslan will directly confront Amei. When two tigers fight, there will inevitably be injuries. Regardless of which side loses, it will be a good thing for those gentlemen of Yinglun. She understands them too well.

Chapter 4. Slamming the Table

Li Wei crossed his arms and said, "Judar will definitely react. All we have to do is wait. The Judar I know is not someone who will just suffer in silence."

Li Wei knew that the Harvey family had many connections in Ying Kingdom, but after Judar founded the Valslan Society, the Harvey family's situation in Ying Kingdom became quite delicate. Valslan was a huge organization founded in Ying Kingdom, but it did not belong to Ying Kingdom.

No major power wants to see Valslan rise, so this kind of underhanded tactic will not be the first or the last.

But as long as the two sides don't openly break ties, there's plenty of room for negotiation. Besides, there are plenty of instances where the British have tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead. The Britannian Federation was seceded from the British because of the machinations of those British gentlemen. Now, those British gentlemen, who haven't learned their lesson, are causing trouble again.

After the meeting ended, Kureya followed Li Wei out of the conference room.

The two walked slowly through the not-so-long passage.
