A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei said, "This book will pull you into another world and make you save it, but there are far too many people in that world who are hostile to you. Last time, you were already badly hurt. Now, if you could do it all over again, would you still choose this path?"

Naofumi Iwatani was stunned by Li Wei's words. He felt as if he had been drawn into an extraordinary event.

"I... am being ostracized?" Naofumi Iwatani muttered to himself.

“Yes, you are clearly the savior who saved the world, but everyone treats you as a demon, scorns you, curses you, and takes away the most important person in your life. Do people like that really deserve your salvation?” Li Wei’s eyes were peaceful, like those of an elder.

Looking at Li Wei's eyes, Naofumi Iwatani glanced at the book in his hand, handed it to Li Wei, and said, "Only someone in their right mind would choose this path. Why should I save those who are hostile to me? Even if I save them, I won't get the most basic respect, and I'll even lose the most important person in my life. What kind of devil would come up with such a twisted sense of humor?"

Li Wei said, "But this is what you've been through. You lost Che and returned to this world with countless scars, which is why you chose to forget Che. Now this book is trying to recruit you again. It's really despicable."

Naofumi Iwatani said, "I've given you the book. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Naofumi Iwatani didn't want to get involved in trouble, especially after learning that he had already experienced the tragedy and forgotten everything.

Li Wei said, "Since you've handed this book over to me, you've essentially given up this opportunity, so I'll give you some compensation."

Li Wei drew a talisman in the air with his finger. The talisman shone with golden light and was imprinted on Iwatani Naofumi's forehead.

Li Wei smiled and said, "From now on, your luck will be better than that of ordinary people. When you encounter something that requires luck, you can gamble on the probability to your heart's content. This talisman will be effective until you die in this life. Goodbye."

Li Wei waved his hand, and Naofumi Iwatani had already disappeared from his sight.

Naofumi Iwatani felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly he was back in his familiar surroundings, back in his bedroom. He rushed to the bathroom and saw the mysterious golden pattern above his head. The pattern gradually faded and eventually disappeared, but he had a feeling that the mysterious pattern was still there, just invisible to ordinary people.

"Did I really encounter a god?!" Naofumi Iwatani was somewhat confused. After all, he had been sent back directly from the other side. The distance between the library and his home was quite far, taking half an hour just by taking the train. But he was back home in an instant. What else could this be but a miracle?

Inside the library, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, changing his "Gold Saint" outfit back into his everyday urban attire.

Li Wei could sense the book's special power and successfully tricked Naofumi Iwatani into keeping it. Li Wei could feel the book calling to him; it contained a very special teleportation array, a cross-world teleportation device. To this day, Li Wei still doesn't know whether the so-called cross-world refers to different planets within the same universe or to crossing between different universes.

But regardless of which of the two situations applies, the fact that this book was able to achieve such a feat demonstrates that it is no ordinary book.

Chapter 4. Teleportation Completed

This book is quite peculiar. It was not originally in the library, but when Naofumi Iwatani stopped in front of the bookshelf, it suddenly appeared, mixed in with the book that Iwatani had drawn, and pulled down the other books as well.

This book seemed to have its own consciousness, which surprised Li Wei. However, when he delved into the book with his divine sense, he found that the book did not have its own consciousness and was just a simple transmission medium. The transmission function would not be activated unless the cover was opened.

Li Wei opened the book and began to browse. This book was very peculiar; the reader needed to read through the preceding content and understand the most basic knowledge of the other world before they could activate the teleportation function.

Li Wei thought this feature was quite user-friendly. Unlike other time-travel stories where the protagonist is directly struck by lightning or hit by a car, it provides the person about to time-travel with the most basic relevant knowledge.

However, this basic knowledge wasn't very useful. At least, even after learning the most basic information, Naofumi Iwatani was still completely fooled.

For Li Wei, who was originally there to cause trouble, this kind of thing didn't matter. In the original plot, the king and the princess set a trap to scheme against Iwatani Naofumi, putting him in a terrible situation of disgrace from the start. Li Wei guessed that he would most likely encounter a similar situation, but unlike Iwatani Naofumi's passive approach, he also had corresponding countermeasures.

Moreover, in the face of persecution, he would preserve all the evidence in preparation for overturning his conviction later. However, the time for overturning his conviction would coincide with the demise of the country of Merlomaro.

Li Wei adheres to one principle in all his actions: either he doesn't do it at all, or he does it thoroughly. If the other side schemes against him first, then he has the upper hand. Afterwards, no matter how he retaliates against the kingdom, even if it means causing the entire kingdom to fall apart, he will always have a valid reason to justify it.

Reading the strange teleportation book word by word, Li Wei was able to understand its contents without any difficulty, even though the writing on it was not of any kind from Earth. Ordinary people would hardly notice the book's unusual nature, but for Li Wei, given enough time, deciphering its secrets would be no problem.

While waiting for Naofumi Iwatani to trigger the crossing, Li Wei did not do nothing. He deployed a large number of positioning beacons outside the atmosphere. The signal of these beacons would not change with the distance.

Therefore, whether the teleportation book sends the target to another planet in the same universe or to another universe can be determined simply by detecting the beacon's location signal.

Receiving a message means you're still in the same universe; not receiving a message means you're in a different universe. Although this detection method is somewhat simplistic and crude, many things work this way.

After Li Wei finished reading all the readable content, he continued to flip through the pages, only to find that the rest of the content was blank.

"Heh, you're given the pen to write this in real life. Let me see what kind of local customs they have over there. I wonder how different the anime worldline is from the manga and novel versions?"

The hidden teleportation array in the book was activated. Li Wei did not resist and cooperated with the teleportation. When his vision cleared again, he saw people dressed in white religious robes surrounding him.

"It's the Shield Hero! The summoning was successful!"

Li Wei heard a special language, one that was not one of his own, but he was able to understand what the other person was saying without any difficulty.

Li Wei sensed the beacon he had previously set up. The beacon was still able to be contacted, but the distance between them was so great that Li Wei could not calculate it.

Because the distance between the two can be calculated in light-years, Li Wei did not know much about astronomy, but he was certain that the straight-line distance from here to Earth was at least 20,000 light-years away.

Li Wei never expected that this place would be in the same universe as Earth. In other words, the wave war that this planet was facing, the so-called collision between worlds, should strictly be called a planetary war.

This is quite different from the original novel, and Li Wei also sensed it. He compared the beacons he had set up and found a significant difference in the relative flow of time between the two locations. There must be something wrong here, but Li Wei needs to investigate further before he can give an answer.

The person who summoned Li Wei looked at him without speaking and cautiously said, "Hero, has our behavior displeased you? If there are any problems, please let us know."

Li Wei said, "I'm just lamenting that I've come to a pretty lousy place. This place is quite unfriendly to the Shield Hero, isn't it?"

Levi's words left the summoners speechless. Their orders were to summon all the heroes. Although they did not want to summon the Shield Hero, the king's command was there, and they could not disobey it. So they could only perform the summoning ritual according to the king's orders and summon the Shield Hero as well.

Li Wei said, "Take me to see your king. I'm too lazy to make things difficult for you errand boys. Even if there are any problems, they're none of your business."

Hearing Li Wei's words, the mages who participated in the summoning breathed a sigh of relief. Although they possessed magical power, they were still inferior to a being like a hero. A fully grown hero was an army in himself, and ordinary mages were like chickens and ducks in front of a hero.

Moreover, the aura that Li Wei displayed did not seem like that of a novice. As a visitor from another world, his understanding of this place was far greater than they had imagined.

Chapter 1. The Ill-fated One

The mages who summoned Li Wei exchanged glances and decisively decided to get rid of this hot potato. They all knew how much the king hated the Shield Hero. Being assigned to summon the Shield Hero was already a terrible job, and getting rid of this trouble as soon as possible was a good thing for them.

The mage said, "Sir Shield Hero, we will get there for you immediately."

The magician then vanished in a flash.

The magician walked through the long corridor and arrived at the throne room. At this time, one of the two thrones, the more ornate one, was empty, while the king sat on the other, a more plain one.

The king looked at the magician and asked, "Was the summoning successful?"

The mage placed one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the summoning ritual was quite successful. However, the Shield Hero knows more about this world than we imagined, and he now wishes to see you."

The White King, resting his chin on his hand, wore a puzzled expression. He made a decision instantly and said, "Bring him here. I didn't expect the Shield Hero to be the first to answer the summons. That's quite interesting."

Li Wei didn't have to wait long before the magician who had gone to ask for instructions came running back.

The magician stopped in front of Li Wei and said respectfully, "Hero, His Majesty is waiting for you in the throne room. Please follow me."

Li Wei nodded and followed the mage. They soon arrived at the throne room. Li Wei saw the old man sitting on the throne. He noticed that the man's body was aging very rapidly, likely due to an injury sustained in his youth that had damaged his vital energy, resulting in his prematurely aged appearance. Considering that the man had once been a member of the Heroes' Clan, possessing considerable basic strength, the fact that he had aged to this extent indicated that his past injuries must have been severe.

"You are the Shield Hero?" The old white man sitting on the throne saw the shield on Li Wei's left arm, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he controlled his expression very well, and no one around him noticed his abnormality.

However, Li Wei could not miss the subtle changes in the other party's expression, and he could also sense the other party's disgust. It has to be said that if Iwatani Naofumi were here, he would be thoroughly vilified.

Li Wei crossed his arms and lightly touched the ground with his feet, causing ripples to appear. The solid ground deformed like jelly, and a high platform appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, allowing him to stand in a higher position than his opponent and look down at him from above.

Seeing this, all the knights around the White King drew their longswords, and the chief knight shouted, "You audacious madman, how dare you insult His Majesty like this!"

Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a calm tone, "King of another world, is this how you treat a supreme emperor? Letting your mad dogs bark wildly. If you can't control your own dogs, I don't mind doing it for you."

Li Wei raised his head slightly, and the intense pressure made the nobles watching involuntarily take a step back.

As someone who refuses to suffer losses, Li Wei wouldn't passively wait for the blame to fall on him like Iwatani Naofumi. If he were in this situation, he would take the initiative.

"How dare you call me a mad dog?!" Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the Knight Commander's anger made his hand holding the longsword tremble. As a close advisor to the king, he held a very special position. Even counts treated him with great respect, so he had developed an arrogant nature. If King Ottocre hadn't been there, he would have already charged forward with his longsword.

A magnificent golden throne appeared behind Li Wei. He sat down, crossed his legs, and propped his cheek with his hand, looking like he was watching a good show.

“Although it’s just a mad dog, it’s a valuable dog because it can please me. Your Majesty, would you sell this dog?” Li Wei smiled with pleasure.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

The current Li Wei calls himself "Guaren" (寡人), which is not an exaggeration. He already possesses god-like power, and if he wanted to, he could easily rule a country. Moreover, his persona in this world is that of a tyrant with a volatile temperament, so being arrogant and eccentric is not a problem. He came to this world to cause trouble.

Ottocre's face was quite ugly. He already hated the Shield Hero, but the Shield Hero he had summoned was not someone to be trifled with, which caught him off guard.

Looking at Li Wei's arrogant expression and the contempt in his slightly narrowed eyes, Ottocre felt his dignity being trampled on. As the king of the country, he was being looked down upon.

.. ......... .......

Having held a high position for a long time, Autocrat's youthful ambition has been worn away. He is no longer the valiant warrior he once was, but the king of a nation.

Li Wei received a long-awaited system notification: Otto Cree was furious because his dignity had been trampled on, and he gained points. He now has points remaining.

Previously in the world of "Hundred Armed Forces", Li Wei used points to exchange for a lot of technology in order to help the Chong Kingdom in that world to be successfully revived. Therefore, he consumed a lot of points. Now, he still has to slowly accumulate points.

However, although the points in the previous world were purely consumed without any gain, Li Wei was still happy to see it happen. Because he was happy to see his compatriots in the other world become stronger. As the old saying goes, "A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy a man's happiness," and that was Li Wei's mindset at the time.

Now, Li Wei plans to reclaim the points he previously spent in this world. Naturally, King Ottocre of the Kingdom of Melomag is one of the targets from which he extracts points.

In this world, Li Wei's three goals for accumulating points have been set, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the candidates will not change.

Chapter 1. The Initial Show of Force

The atmosphere froze. The nobles present watched the two facing off, none daring to speak. Although King Ottocre was usually a kind and generous man, he was not a good-tempered man. Now that he was being ridden on, the nobles who had witnessed this scene were likely to become the victims of his wrath.

Realizing this, the other nobles, except for the knights guarding Autoclay, fell silent.

Li Wei revealed a mocking expression and said, "As a king, you are truly a failure. Under such circumstances, not many people would stand up for you. It seems you are not very popular."

Li Wei's words caused the veins on Autocry's forehead to bulge, and his hands, which were gripping the armrests of the throne, were almost deformed.

Li Wei said, "Why haven't the other three warriors been summoned yet? It is their honor to fight alongside me. Shouldn't we let them come out and meet me?"

At this moment, no noble dared to interrupt. All the nobles looked at King Ottocre, for their king was the one who would make the final decision.

Ottocre took a deep breath, preparing to find a way to regain the initiative in the communication. Originally, he wanted to suppress the Shield Hero, but now it seems that this is not an easy task. The Shield Hero summoned this time may be the most troublesome Shield Hero in history.

Ottocre said, "Welcome to the Kingdom of Melomarg, unfamiliar king. However, this is the Kingdom of Melomarg, not your country. Therefore, I hope you can respect our traditions and at least not make the atmosphere so tense."

Li Wei shifted his stance, crossing his legs, and said, “There are two errors in your statement. First, I am not a king like you, ruling over a small country with few people. Can you take the title of ‘king’ as a provocation? Second, if you want to respect my traditions and want to earn my respect, then show some respectable strength. Whether it’s powerful warriors, vast territory, or abundant resources, you must have something to earn my respect.”

Ottocre's hands throbbed with veins. Normally, as the king of a nation, although his power was less than that of the queen, he was still a figure of the country, and even monarchs from other countries had to maintain a certain level of courtesy when they met him. But with Li Wei, he received only further humiliation.

Li Wei smiled and asked, "How many people does your country have? What is its land area? How many soldiers does it have? What kind of strategic forces does it possess?"

This is a rather sensitive and potentially embarrassing issue, as it involves state secrets. No one knows if any of the nobles present are spies, and if such sensitive information were to be leaked, it would be extremely dangerous for the kingdom.
