A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Chapter 72. Kato Megumi's Turn

"Don't just call me scum. Aren't you curious why I made this choice?" Li Wei said with a helpless expression.

"Is it necessary to listen to such scum's sophistry?" Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri both glared at Li Wei, looking like they were about to rush up and bite him if he didn't give them an explanation.

“Hui, a scumbag is the kind who doesn’t care about you after you’ve done your job, only wants to play around but doesn’t want to take responsibility, and is also fickle and doesn’t respect the existence of his partner. I don’t have any of those traits, okay?” Li Wei said.

"But how do you explain this two-timing thing, you scumbag?" Kato Megumi still spoke in that soft, gentle tone.

However, Li Wei could tell that she was very serious. If he couldn't come up with a convincing explanation here, things would probably get quite awkward later on. But Li Wei wasn't worried because he had maintained a psychological advantage until now.

Li Wei's psychological advantage is very simple: to put it bluntly, he won't give up the whole forest for a few trees. Admittedly, he likes the three girls very much, but he won't give up Crystal Palace because of them.

After all, he's not an ordinary person, so why should he follow the rules for ordinary people? Who decided that superhumans must abide by the ordinary rule of monogamy?

Even Empress Wu Zetian in ancient times had her own "reverse harem". If an ordinary mortal emperor can do it, why can't he, as a cultivator who transcends mortals, do it?

Li Wei said, "Because I have trouble making choices, and I'm not just having two relationships, I'm having three. Hui, you should be included in that too."

"Huh? Why am I included too?" Kato Megumi looked surprised. For someone whose expressions rarely fluctuate, this was an extremely exaggerated expression. If it were Eriri, she probably would have flipped the table.

"Because I like you too, just like I like you, Senpai and Eriri." Li Wei spread his hands, looking like a scoundrel.

"How cunning, you scumbag," Kato Megumi muttered softly, though her cheeks were flushed and she felt conflicted.

Li Wei looked at the three girls and said, "I like you all, but if I had to choose one of you, I wouldn't choose any of you. The reason is simple: choosing one would be the biggest hurt to the other two. Rather than that, it's better not to choose any of you, and it's best to have as little contact as possible in the future. That way, at least we can still be friends."

Seeing Li Wei's serious expression, Eriri swallowed hard. Kasumigaoka Utaha, sitting on the sofa, tapped one foot rapidly, indicating that she was extremely agitated.

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a pang of panic. The current situation was beyond her expectations and control, plunging her into an unknowable abyss. What surprised her most was that Li Wei would rather not choose anyone than hurt any of them. But she felt that not choosing anyone was also a form of harm to all of them, just not as intense as the former.

Even so, Kasumigaoka Utaha still found it hard to accept. Why wasn't she chosen?!

Little did they know, Eriri was inwardly panicking, but her shock made her appear calm.

“I can’t accept this.” Kasumigaoka Utaha was the first to break the almost frozen atmosphere.

Kato Megumi, standing to the side, said, "Even if it's unacceptable, what can we do? Li Weijun has already made his decision."

At this point, Kato Megumi changed her address for Li Wei back from "scumbag" to "Li Wei-kun." Like Kasumigaoka Utaha, she could understand Li Wei's actions, but understanding was one thing, and accepting them was another.

Despite appearing to others as someone without desires, Kato Megumi's inner emotions are actually richer and more sensitive than most. She was able to realize that Levi wasn't joking with them.

"Why did this happen?" Eriri cried out inwardly. She had finally met someone she liked, but now this was the result. If she wasn't careful, everything would fall apart. The cruel reality shattered all the beautiful fantasies in her heart.

Seeing that he had created a suitable atmosphere, Li Wei said, "That's precisely why I chose to have it all. Although under the current laws, my actions could land me in jail, I don't regret my choice, and I'm capable of taking full responsibility for it. I will treat each and every one of you seriously, just like the line from that anime, you are all my wings."

Kato Megumi looked at Li Wei. Unlike Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, she didn't have the same psychological burden. In fact, this was one of her few advantages as an "unremarkable" person. To her, Li Wei's choice was nothing more than turning back the clock, returning to the ancient times when polygamy was allowed.

Before the Meiji Restoration, in Japan, which powerful lord or wealthy merchant didn't have multiple wives and concubines? This wasn't just about keeping the wife at home while having affairs on the side; it was about truly allowing multiple wives to coexist peacefully.

Moreover, Japan is a country established by the lingering remnants of feudalism, and even in modern times, wealthy businessmen and some members of parliament have more than one wife.

Many things don't cease to exist just because ordinary people don't know them, but Kato Megumi, who knew these things, had already made her decision in her heart.

“I can accept that,” Kato Megumi said with a smile.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were both struck dumb, and their gazes toward Kato Megumi became somewhat unfriendly. However, seeing Kato Megumi's calm smile, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were defeated, because at this moment, Kato Megumi's aura as the "first wife" was simply too strong.

"Damn it! They actually ran away!" Eriri pointed at Kato Megumi, trembling with anger.

"Is this considered sneaking out? I just made my own choice, just like Li Weijun. Just as Li Weijun didn't force us to accept his ideas, I won't force you to accept mine either," Kato Megumi said with a smile.

Kato Megumi's words left Eriri speechless. Although Kato Megumi doesn't usually talk much, every word she says has its own purpose, and is simple and to the point.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and said, "If I back down here, the winner will be you. I will not admit defeat, so I will not quit!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't give up so easily. She was a strong-willed person and got along extremely well with Li Wei. She felt that she and Li Wei were like complementary yin and yang fish, sharing common interests and viewpoints.

Having such a huge advantage, she was now being utterly defeated by Kato Megumi, how could she accept this?

Chapter 73. The Holiday Ends

After Kato Megumi made her choice, Kasumigaoka Utaha responded in her own words. Although she did not answer Kato Megumi's question directly, she had already made her attitude clear.

At this moment, Eriri felt quite embarrassed, after all, her family would find it difficult to accept her decision.

Although both Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha are beautiful, they come from ordinary families and are therefore less constrained. As a member of the Spencer family, although not a direct descendant, she always carries the Spencer name, which the Spencer family finds unacceptable as it would bring shame to their family honor.

Eriri knows her current situation. She can marry an ordinary person, but she cannot be someone else's "concubine." This is not only her own matter, but also concerns the face of the Spencer family.

Eriri's expression turned serious, and she said, "Li Weijun, if you can withstand the pressure from the Spencer family, then I'm willing to go crazy with you!"

Eriri's decision drew sidelong glances from Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi, who were standing nearby.

"Is it pressure from the family?" Li Wei asked. He knew Eriri's family background and was already mentally prepared for this. Moreover, he wasn't afraid of the Spencer family at all. After all, this world wasn't his home turf. For him, who could leave at any time, leaving the Spencer family with an unforgettable memory wasn't a high-cost thing.

Eriri nodded and said, "Even if I can accept your idea, Li Weijun, can you withstand the pressure from the Spencer family? You know, the Spencer family is a behemoth. Even the big conglomerates in Japan are unwilling to provoke an old family like the Spencer family."

Li Wei laughed and said, "I am very confident in my abilities, and I have my trump card. When I reveal it, even the Spencer family will be begging me in fear."

Li Wei's words surprised the three girls.

Kasumigaoka Utaha said with some concern, "I know a bit about the Spencer family. They are a behemoth whose influence spans various industries such as traditional textiles, real estate, machinery manufacturing, and finance. Can you fight against such an existence by yourself?"

Eriri swallowed hard. She had no idea that her family was such a huge entity. All she knew was that whenever her family held a banquet, many of her peers would fawn over her. Now she realized that it wasn't because she was so outstanding, but because her family was so enormous that even a little bit of profit leaking through their fingers would be enough for ordinary rich people to make a fortune.

In addition, her father was a diplomat and an important member of the Spencer family. There were simply too many people who wanted to use her as a springboard to establish connections with the Spencer family.

Li Wei said, "No matter how large a corporate cluster is, it still needs people to manage it. I can't reveal my trump card to you yet. However, if I could, I wouldn't want to use it, since they are all Eriri's family and friends. If they were to suffer, Eriri would be sad too."

For Li Wei, who has mastered extraordinary powers, making someone disappear from the world completely is not a complicated matter. With his current strength, he is capable of becoming the world's best and most terrifying assassin.

The three girls didn't ask any further questions. Since Li Wei had said he had a way to deal with possible situations, they just needed to trust him.

The awkward atmosphere vanished instantly. After clarifying their relationship, they could say some things directly. However, they still felt a little uncomfortable, but everyone was trying to work things out. Even Eriri was able to manage to stop bickering with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After a thrilling Saturday, the group confirmed their relationship, and Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye. Because of yesterday's shark attack, no one could be seen swimming in the sea today.

Although the authorities have issued a statement informing all tourists that the damaged shark nets have been repaired and the shallow waters are now safe, no one still dares to go into the water.

As a result, the beach has become much more lively, and it is foreseeable that the families of the deceased and the injured will definitely sue the beach management, giving onlookers more juicy gossip to enjoy.

The group went out to enjoy the sun and sand as usual in the morning. However, this time, Li Wei and the others did not manage to get the best spot, so they chose a place relatively close to the hotel and asked the hotel staff to set up the parasols and lounge chairs.

Eriri sat on a deck chair, looking at the sea view, and said, "There's no one here today. It seems everyone is still afraid of sharks."

"The beach feels a bit crowded, and it looks a little hot," Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

After a night's rest, Kasumigaoka Utaha had regained her composure. Some fears can fade with time, and unlike Eriri, she hadn't directly witnessed the horrific scene of a shark attacking a swimmer. Therefore, she recovered from the trauma faster than Eriri and Kato Megumi.

Eriri chimed in, "How about we go to a hot spring town next time? There aren't any scary monsters like sharks there."

“But hot spring towns are usually located in the mountains, and there are wild boars in the mountains,” Kato Megumi said.

Eriri's face almost turned black as she said, "I don't believe my luck is that bad. I encounter a shark at the beach and a wild boar at a hot spring."

Looking at the chattering girls, Li Wei said, "Wild boars are much easier to deal with than sharks. In fact, I can easily handle most land animals."

"You're just bragging." Eriri looked unconvinced.

Li Wei simply smiled and offered no explanation. Right now, he could easily twist an elephant into a pretzel simply by condensing his spiritual power into an invisible hand. Unless it was a giant like a blue whale, most animals were no different from a rag in front of him; they were all trivial matters that could be easily resolved with a twist.

Even a behemoth like the blue whale is just a matter of twisting and turning for Li Wei. Of course, no one would believe him if he said that, and those who heard it would probably think he was just being childish.

At lunchtime, the group returned to the hotel, where they spent the entire afternoon. Li Wei spent the afternoon playing Joker with the girls, though he had no idea what was so fun about it. The game, however, had a penalty system: the winner of each round could command the three losers to do something. The afternoon was long, and many things happened; everyone was exhausted, as if they had gone through a dozen rounds of the King's Game.

Around 6 PM, after checking out of the suite, Li Wei and several girls took a car arranged by Yorozuya back to Tokyo. Although the beach trip had some hiccups, the outcome was good, at least for Li Wei.

Chapter 74. The Best Tool (It's about to be released, please support it!)

Back on campus, Li Wei continued to do the same thing as before: slacking off in class, using his multi-threaded thinking ability to write and draw in his mind, and observing Aki Tomoya when he had nothing to do.

Li Wei secretly wondered if he should show "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" to Aki Tomoya when he left this world.

This immense mental stimulation would be enough to break Aki Tomoya, allowing him to accumulate more points. Then, when it's time to leave, he could finish Aki Tomoya off with a single strike, dissipating his soul in the process. Perhaps then he could rack up even more points.

Although it was a bit unethical to do this, Li Wei never considered himself a good person, and since the target of the punishment was "Cuckold," he felt even less guilty.

Li Wei's two most hated anime characters are Makoto Ito, who doesn't acknowledge his friends after he's done his work, and Tomoya Aki. So he doesn't think it's excessive to "treat" the other party with such high standards.

During the break, Aki Tomoya came up to Li Wei with his notebook and said seriously, "Li Wei, I spent the last week refining the plan. Please take a look and see if there are any areas that can be improved."

Li Wei took the notebook from Aki Tomoya's hand, opened it, and saw that this time, the amount of project proposals had increased considerably.

Compared to the initial few core ideas, this meticulously filled-in plan finally has a bit of a professional feel to it. Although in Li Wei's opinion, it is still not enough to make a dating game, it is a significant improvement over the previous one.

"Aki-kun, it seems you're taking this very seriously. Hmm... I need to take a closer look. I'll give you my feedback during the break after the next class."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Li Wei." Aki Tomoya returned to his seat somewhat nervously, waiting for Li Wei's comments on his proposal.

"This time it's starting to look somewhat promising. This guy's progress is quite fast. Although I hate him, I have to admit that Aki Tomoya does have some talent, though not much, but he does have some." Li Wei muttered to himself.

Aki Tomoya is able to become a popular blogger with millions of followers, which is naturally due to his abilities. However, his abilities are more inclined towards appreciation and evaluation, and he is better at finding the strengths and weaknesses of works from an outsider's perspective.

For Aki Tomoya, creating a work of his own from the perspective of a creator like this is a hurdle. If he can overcome it, he will be able to smoothly enter the world of creators. If he cannot overcome it, he will forever remain a critic who only appreciates the works of others.

While critics are necessary, people tend to remember the creators more often. Even when critics use sharp language to tell the truth, they may be accused of being sarcastic or cynical.

For Aki Tomoya, this game production was a huge opportunity to leap over the dragon gate, after all, not everyone is willing to take out ten million to support his dream. Only someone like Li Wei, who has other purposes, would sponsor Aki Tomoya.

"Tsk... It's still a complete mess. It's only slightly better than before. If it hadn't gone through me and had been shown directly to Shiho and Eriri, it would definitely have been torn to shreds." Li Wei shook his head and chuckled. Aki Tomoya really didn't have any outstanding talent in this area.

However, Li Wei was able to complete the transition so quickly because he had several years of experience writing online novels and had a solid foundation. This allowed him to quickly transition into a light novelist. Online novels and light novels have many things in common, so the transition was not that difficult.

Aki Tomoya's transition from connoisseur to creator spanned an entire field, so it's understandable that he faced such difficulties.
