A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

"It doesn't matter. If I wanted to make money, I have plenty of similar secret formulas. Money is meaningless to me. I only care about how many people this stuff can help, but I just don't have that much energy to do all that," Li Wei said with a smile.

Kirishima Sakura has a warm heart. Li Wei is like the sun, shining his light on everything without reservation. She finds this gentleness very precious.

After all, in this day and age, people are becoming increasingly indifferent and distrustful of each other, and someone like Li Wei is a very rare existence in this era.

Li Wei said, "Compared to becoming rich, training more martial artists is more in line with my thinking. After all, there are things in this world that money can't buy, such as protecting the people around you."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Kirishima Sakura felt they made a lot of sense, and Li Wei's pursuit was far more noble. If the number of human martial artists could double, they would probably already be on the moon, destroying the barbarian strongholds. Only after eliminating the barbarians could humanity unleash its full potential for space exploration and spread the seeds of humanity throughout the universe.

Sakura Kirishima felt that Li Wei was a great man, and someone whose name was destined to be etched in history. Future generations of children might see Li Wei's name in their textbooks.

In comparison, her vision is much smaller. Although her songs can bring comfort, they cannot solve any problems; they are merely a way for people to escape.

Compared to bringing joy and emotion to others through singing, Li Wei's method of training a large number of martial artists, in a sense, is the solution to the root problem. Only by completely eliminating those barbarians can ordinary people live a peaceful life without worrying about losing their lives at any time.

Kirishima Sakura exclaimed, "Li Wei-kun, you are just too dazzling."

Li Wei smiled and said, "I'm just using my own strength to do what I can."

Li Wei retrieved the materials for making throat lozenges from his sea of ​​consciousness space: various seemingly ordinary grasses and some already prepared rock sugar. These were the raw materials for making throat lozenges.

Li Wei said, "I brought some raw materials with me, and we still have some time. You can try making them; I'll demonstrate and guide you. Once you learn how to make these throat lozenges, you won't have to worry about your throat anymore..."

Kirishima Sakura nodded. Learning such practical knowledge would not do her any harm. If she knew how to make it herself, she would only need to buy the raw materials, instead of spending a lot of money to buy them from others like others.

Li Wei spread all the medicinal herbs out on the table, took out a piece of paper, and wrote the name of each material, the amount needed to make one serving, and the basic requirements of the herbs on it in Japanese.

Kirishima Sakura looked at the notes on the paper and truly memorized what Li Wei had written. A short while later, Li Wei had written down all the materials and processing methods on the paper.

Li Wei said, "The materials are all easy to write down, so I've written them all down. But the production steps can't be described in words, so I'll make a copy here first. Then you can memorize the production steps, practice them, and remember them."

Kirishima Sakura nodded. What Li Wei taught her was all practical and useful information that could greatly help her career, so she naturally remembered it very carefully.

Li Wei retrieved a complete set of brewing tools from his sea of ​​consciousness. Kirishima Sakura was not surprised by this, as the special abilities of martial artists were incredibly diverse; for example, she herself possessed a rare combination of illusion and gravity control. She had seen martial artists who could manipulate space before, so she wasn't surprised by Li Wei's current abilities.

Li Wei's movements were fluid and effortless. Under his care, various medicinal herbs were transformed into different properties, then extracted into liquids. These liquids were repeatedly boiled in different proportions. The entire process lasted for several hours, but it was not complicated. The main issue was the time-consuming boiling process. The melted medicinal liquid was mixed with the sugar syrup, refined, and then poured into molds to become the special sugar blocks that Li Wei had previously taken out.

Seeing how the pile of herbs and rock sugar eventually transformed into this special throat lozenge, Kirishima Sakura found it quite magical.

Chapter 4. What is Hardcore?

"Look, aren't the steps very simple? It only takes some time to boil. There's not much that actually requires your hands. The only thing that needs special technique is when stirring the sugar syrup at the end, but that technique isn't difficult for you either," Li Wei said with a smile.

Kirishima Sakura is fluent in the national language and has an exceptionally strong memory, far surpassing that of ordinary people. Therefore, after a demonstration, she can basically remember about 70% of the steps. As long as she practices them herself, she can master the production method.

Li Wei stepped aside and watched Kirishima Sakura operate the tools. Her memory was indeed good, but her manual dexterity was not so strong. Her clumsy movements gave people a feeling of awkwardness. What should have been a simple task was quite difficult for her.

It took her more than an hour to reach the final step: mixing the medicine and sugar solutions. Because both liquids had a certain viscosity, she found it very difficult.

Li Wei came up behind her, took her hands in his, and said softly, "Don't use brute force at this time. Stir gently. Don't be afraid that it will take too long. If the liquid is about to solidify, you can put it on the stove and heat it over a low flame until it is evenly mixed."

Sakura Kirishima felt the heat emanating from Li Wei's hands, and her cheeks burned as if on fire. Li Wei was currently pressed against her back, and this close contact gave her a jolt of electricity. However, she didn't dislike the feeling.

Li Wei stopped short of making a move, and once Kirishima Sakura's movements became smoother, he decisively let go.

“Yes, keep this pace and let the liquid in the pot slowly blend. You can put the pot on the stove to continue heating it. The more meticulous you are in this step, the better the quality of the final product will be,” Li Wei said with a smile.

Kirishima Sakura felt somewhat disappointed, but she also felt apprehensive. She was surprised to feel disappointed and didn't know why she had such feelings. After reuniting with Li Wei, she realized that her ability to control her emotions had weakened.

The final product made by Kirishima Sakura was somewhat inferior to that made by Li Wei. The color was not as translucent and the gloss was not optimal. However, this did not affect the overall effect; it just made the product look less appealing.

After Li Wei put away his tools, the door to the room opened, and Soufflé looked at the two of them and said, "It's almost lunchtime now, haven't you had lunch yet?"

Kirishima Sakura asked, "And what about you?"

Soufflé said, "I've been waiting for you guys, but you haven't come out for so long. The hotel is no longer serving lunch, so if you want to eat, you'll have to go outside."

The food delivery industry on the island is underdeveloped, and only the shops' own delivery drivers deliver food to the door. However, pedestrians who are unfamiliar with the area do not know which local restaurants offer delivery services.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Leave this problem to me. I know a little bit about cooking."

Kirishima Sakura looked surprised. She didn't expect that someone like Li Wei, who was busy with high-end jobs all day, would also have some knowledge of cooking. After all, apart from professional chefs, most people who like to study cooking have a lot of free time.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and many cooking utensils appeared on the table.

Soufflé was originally a technician who studied martial artists, so she had a considerable understanding of their special abilities. Therefore, she was not surprised to see this scene. She was just amazed that Li Wei could cook. After all, a busy person like Li Wei would usually focus his energy on important things.

Li Wei created a spatial partition and then quickly began to take out all sorts of ingredients. This scene left the two girls dumbfounded. The size of Li Wei's storage space was truly astonishing; he could fit so many things inside, which was quite unbelievable to them.

Li Wei went all out, showing the two how incredibly efficient a true chef can be at preparing dishes. In less than a minute, Li Wei had prepared a table full of food.

After serving the dishes, Li Wei calmly used magic to clean up the various cooking utensils. Martial artists have all sorts of abilities, some of which may seem like magic to those who don't know them. Therefore, Li Wei wasn't worried that using magic would expose his true secret. He could simply say that it was a special ability of a martial artist.

Soufflé exclaimed, "Is there anything you can't do?"

Li Weimo stroked his chin and said, "Although this might sound like harassment, I can do almost anything except give birth. Give me someone, and even after the apocalypse, I can seamlessly reboot the world and bring it back to our current technological level within a few years."

Looking at Li Wei's confident appearance, Soufflé felt that such a statement was a bit exaggerated, but perhaps what Li Wei said was true?

In fact, before he obtained the cheat, Li Wei was a very hardcore person. Even if he were thrown into the wilderness, he would live longer than others.

The reason is simple: Li Wei was exposed to several books when he was a child, and it was these books that made him "multi-talented". These books are "Militia Training Manual", "Barefoot Doctor Manual" and "Friend of Dual-Use Military and Civilian Talents". It was these extremely hardcore books that made Li Wei such a hardcore person.

These three books are considered the three great time-travel novels. Holding these three books is like mastering the art of slaying dragons. If you go back to ancient times, as long as you don't suffer an unlucky death at the beginning, it's only a matter of time before you rise to the top.

Chapter 4. Stage Completed

Li Wei's culinary skills easily won over the stomachs of the two girls. Even in worlds that depict cooking, Li Wei's current culinary skills would be worthy of a place. Therefore, for other chefs in this world, his culinary skills can be described as a dimensional reduction attack.

Soufflé cupped her cheeks in her hands, let out a long breath, and said, "Delicious! Before, I always thought that food was just for filling my stomach. Even a Michelin three-star restaurant was just so-so. Now I finally understand how shallow my thinking was."

Even Kirishima Sakura, who deliberately controls her diet to maintain her figure, can't put down her knife and fork.

"Damn it! This is the last bite! Why can't I control myself?!" Kirishima Sakura felt her body sending out a craving signal. She was already feeling full, but her brain was giving her the command to keep eating. This conflict between her body and mind left her extremely conflicted.

Looking at the two girls' amused expressions, Li Wei smiled. For a chef, nothing is more gratifying than a diner's praise for his skills.

At this moment, Li Wei could understand the feelings of Soma from "Food Wars!", but he wouldn't say "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality" like Soma would, since he wasn't a professional chef and there was no need for him to do that.

After the late lunch break, Li Wei followed the two to the concert venue. When pedestrians arrived at the scene, the staff were working overtime to set up the stage.

Soufflé said, "The concert is tomorrow, so we can rehearse tonight, but it might be a little late."

A worker wearing a hard hat came over, handed a document to Soufflé, and said, "Miss Soufflé, because of yesterday's barbarian attack, several workers were injured in the attack. I have urgently dispatched manpower here, but the completion time will be four hours later than scheduled."

Soufflé took the documents, glanced through them briefly, and said, "As long as it can be completed smoothly, my requirements for you are not high. Lighting effects and the like can be omitted if possible. However, the overall framework must be sturdy, and there can be no mistakes on this point."

The staff member nodded and said, "Of course we know about this."

Watching the staff leave, Soufflé sighed and said, "The local staff are much more laid-back. The pace of life here is quite slow, which has instilled this habit in them. In another place, it would have been finished two days ago."

Soufflé had a lot to complain about regarding the locals, but considering that this was a tourist city and the locals were relatively lazy, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Because of her ability to create illusions, Kirishima Sakura doesn't need any stage lighting. She can create all sorts of beautiful optical illusions, and even without any lighting assistance, she can maximize the stage effect. Moreover, because she also possesses the ability to resist gravity, although it can only affect herself and things that are not too heavy, it is enough to greatly enhance the stage effect.

Because of Kirishima Sakura's abilities, the stage setup for her concerts is always quite simple, requiring almost no pre-construction work, making the stage setup process very quick. However, because the local staff are extremely lazy, only working a few hours a day, what could be done in two or three days elsewhere took them a whole week to complete.

Soufflé rubbed her temples and said, "Those guys can only survive in places like this. They wouldn't be able to find work anywhere else."

Li Wei said, "The local people are nurtured by the local environment. The pace of life here is relatively slow, so it's understandable that they live this way. Now that the stage is almost finished, there's no need to worry about such details."

Soufflé said, "Luckily, I allowed plenty of time in advance, otherwise this would have really been a disaster."

Kirishima Sakura said to Levi, "Sophie is incredibly reliable. This isn't the first time she's encountered unexpected situations, but she always manages to resolve them perfectly. She's amazing!"

Soufflé is not just Kirishima Sakura's full-time manager; she also holds several other positions, including management roles.

However, Soufflé also has other support staff around her. No matter how capable she is, she can't do everything by herself. Behind the scenes, other staff members of the agency are also fulfilling their duties.

The talent agency founded by Soufflé only has one artist, Kirishima Sakura, and she doesn't plan to take on any more artists, because if it weren't for Kirishima Sakura, she wouldn't have created the current talent agency at all.

Looking at the soufflé, Li Wei had to admit that the slightly aloof and bespectacled woman in front of him was also quite dazzling, in no way inferior to Kirishima Sakura. However, because of her atonement, she was willing to play a supporting role behind the scenes, sacrificing her own life for Kirishima Sakura's development.

Li Wei's gaze made Soufflé feel a little uncomfortable. She turned her head slightly and, using her glasses as a cover, secretly glanced at Li Wei out of the corner of her eye. However, Li Wei's smile was still as warm and dazzling as ever, which made her feel somewhat ashamed.

Because of the mistakes she made in the past, Soufflé has always had a sense of inferiority. This inferiority manifests outwardly as her always treating the outside world with a cold face and experiencing more mental exhaustion than normal people when interacting with others.

Li Wei said, "There are three 'little mice' right in front of us, but they're probably not coming for us."

Li Wei knew about the three martial artists hiding in the shadows; they were subordinates of Judal's puppet's ex-girlfriend. Judging from the plot's progress, Judal's ex-girlfriend, Vilit, was also preparing to cause trouble in order to take revenge on Judal. However, this had nothing to do with Li Wei's main body; he would use Judal's clone to bring this matter to a close.

Chapter 44. The Mastermind Falls from Grace

"Is it an enemy?" Soufflé asked nervously.

“From a standpoint of perspective, they could be considered enemies, but they weren’t coming for us. They’ve run far away now, so there’s no need for me to chase after them. This is a debt that Judar owes, and only he can settle it. I won’t get involved in this kind of thing,” Li Wei said, shaking his head.

Soufflé was a little curious. Judal was Levi's boss, but Levi didn't seem to respect Judal much. This made her curious about the relationship between Levi and Judal. Women's curiosity is just that strong, and it's hard for them to control themselves.

Li Wei said, "You feel that I don't respect Judal enough, so you're curious about the relationship between me and Judal, right?"

Soufflé said, "I don't want to know that kind of thing. After all, there's a way to die called knowing too much."

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's not as terrible as you imagine. My relationship with Judar is something that everyone in the upper echelons of Valslan knows, it's just that no one talks about it publicly. Judar and I have an equal cooperative relationship, but to outsiders, my power in Valslan is only at the lower level."

Soufflé looked surprised. She hadn't expected Levi to have such a high status in Valslan. In a sense, Levi could already be considered a figure in Valslan, provided he wasn't lying.

Li Wei said, "During this period, Judal and I share common interests. He wants to expand Valslan, while I need to train more martial artists. On this point, we are in agreement."

Just then, the sky suddenly became dazzling, and the blinding light made the construction workers cover their eyes.

"What's going on?!" Soufflé exclaimed in surprise.

"It's just a battle on the other side of Earth. It seems they've already completed their mission," Li Wei said calmly, looking up at the horizon.

"A battle on the other side of Earth?" Soufflé whispered.

Li Wei nodded and said, "My two friends were dealing with hostile aliens lurking on Earth. They have now completed their mission. The flash just now was the last trace left by those aliens' self-destruction. The real threat has finally been eliminated."
