A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei raised an eyebrow, snapped his fingers, and said, "You didn't see anything, keep smoking."

The thugs were momentarily stunned, their eyes darting around in a squinty, incoherent manner, muttering, "We didn't see anything, let's keep smoking." A few seconds later, the squinting thugs returned to normal, completely unaware that they had actually seen something strange.

Li Wei arrived at the side of the pachinko parlor and exchanged some coins for steel balls. Gambling is officially prohibited in Japan, and pachinko parlors, with their strong gambling element, naturally don't engage in open gambling. Therefore, pachinko parlors separate their betting and exchange operations into two parts. The side area is specifically for exchanging steel balls and prizes; the won steel balls can be exchanged for various prizes here. The exchange counter then buys back the prizes and distributes the cash to gamblers, thus blatantly exploiting a legal loophole and operating gambling right under the noses of the police.

Of course, the pachinko parlors that are able to operate also have their own profit chains. In addition to paying tribute to the local police station every month, the police station will also arrange some people with connections to work part-time as prize redemption agents at the pachinko parlors, so as to monitor the financial status of the pachinko parlors and prevent them from evading taxes.

Gambling is always extremely profitable, and the Japanese authorities know that it's better to guide than to suppress it. So they try to keep the profits in their own hands as much as possible. Pachinko parlor owners make the lion's share, while the authorities and related interest groups are guaranteed to profit regardless of the circumstances.

Li Wei sat down next to Hyoudou Makoto with a box of small steel balls. The pachinko parlor was a bit crowded, with almost no gap between the machines. There was only a bench in front of the machines, and smoking was allowed, so you could smell the pungent smell of smoke as soon as you walked in. Hand cigarettes were everywhere.

Hyoudou Makoto looked at Li Wei sitting next to him with envy in his eyes. Li Wei's looks were enough to drive women crazy and make men jealous. Moreover, due to his cultivation technique, Li Wei's attraction to the opposite sex was superimposed. However, such charm also brought certain side effects, namely, it was easy to attract hostility and jealousy from the same sex.

At this moment, Hyoudou Makoto was cursing in his heart, wondering why there was such a handsome guy as Li Wei in the world. He thought that such a handsome guy who didn't leave any room for other men should be hit by a car and killed as soon as he went out.

In such close proximity, Hyoudou Makoto's inner thoughts could not escape Li Wei's perception. Therefore, when Li Wei learned of Hyoudou Makoto's thoughts, he could only sigh that the simple and honest Hyoudou Makoto had disappeared. The Hyoudou Makoto who had been given a completely new position by the philosophy brother was very different from the Hyoudou Makoto in the original story.

Chapter 4. Evil Arises from the Bold

Pachinko parlors are a mixed bag of people. Yakuza members and petty thugs are very common in such places, so most people keep a low profile, do their own thing, and don't meddle in other people's business.

So, a handsome guy like Li Wei would definitely attract attention elsewhere, but in a pachinko parlor, where people value self-preservation, others might just glance at him a couple of times, but they wouldn't cause him any unnecessary trouble.

The machine that Li Wei chose was a very rare Japanese wrestling-themed one. Pachinko machines are actually a type of fruit machine, but the Japanese have combined this form of gambling with various anime and live-action themes, and even included some... well, you know.

Hyoudou Makoto glanced at Li Wei out of the corner of his eye, secretly hoping that Li Wei would lose miserably.

Motohama leaned against Hyodo Makoto and whispered, "This guy next to me is just so annoying. I really want to get someone to smear his face."

Hyoudou Makoto said in a low voice, "Let's go a little too far with this. He has no grudge against us. Even if we wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't be him."

The environment inside a pachinko parlor is quite noisy. If you are a meter away and speak a little softly, other people will not be able to hear what you are saying.

Matsuda, who was standing nearby, said, "I know this guy. He's also a teacher at our school, and he's the only male teacher there."

Both Hyoudou Makoto and Motohama showed expressions of shock.

Hyoudou Makoto said, "No way?! This super handsome guy is from our school? How come I didn't know?"

Matsuda said, "It's normal that you don't know, because I only found out about this by chance. This guy is the teacher of an elective course, which is about Eastern mysticism. He's just a charlatan who specializes in fooling girls."

Hyoudou Makoto looked envious and said, "It's really enviable. Doesn't this guy have a legitimate reason to interact with girls? Besides, he's the only male teacher in the school, and he's handsome too. He must be very popular with students and teachers!"

Matsuda shook his head and said, "The truth is exactly the opposite of what you imagine. This guy is very low-key. Most students don't know him. The only ones who are familiar with him are the teachers."

Hyoudou Makoto said, "Doesn't that mean he's a fraud? If he really had real skills, he would definitely promote himself in a big way, not be as low-key as you say."

Makoto Hyoudou no longer finds the mystical unscientific. After all, Linde's destruction of Mount Fuji to raise the level of Amahara made him realize that there are many things in the world that science cannot explain for the time being.

Therefore, he only felt that Li Wei was charlatan and had no real skills, rather than completely denying the existence of mysticism.

Matsuda said, "Who knows such things? All I know is that he's very popular in the Teachers' Club. As for how many students he has or where he teaches, I have no idea."

Matsuda had only heard of Li Wei's existence and didn't know much about him.

Hyoudou Makoto wore a wicked smile and said, "If you want to know if he has any real skills, why don't you just test him?"

Yuan Bin, who was standing nearby, asked, "How do we try it?"

Hyoudou Makoto whispered, "Of course, we should hire someone to teach him a lesson. That handsome guy is a menace at school. Without him, it wouldn't be too difficult for us to find a girlfriend, but with him as a comparison, it'll be a huge hassle. So, a school without him is our paradise. I'll hire someone to slash his face and completely disfigure him. Only in this way can we curb his arrogance."

Matsuda and Motohama secretly glanced at Li Wei. Looking at Li Wei's ridiculously handsome profile, both of them felt a little annoyed. They could understand Hyoudou Makoto's thoughts.

Just as Makoto Hyodo said, what people fear most is comparison. Originally, a traditional girls' school like Kuoh Academy had a mishap due to the merger, so their small group of ten became a "flower garden" with thousands of girls but only ten boys to match with. As long as you're not ugly and don't have any obvious bad habits, finding a partner isn't difficult.

However, if Li Wei suddenly becomes high-profile, he will attract the attention of all women, and at that time, ordinary boys like them will have no competitive advantage.

Therefore, finding a way to eliminate Li Wei is a good solution for them. As long as Li Wei is disfigured and becomes an ugly monster, then he won't be able to interfere with their pursuit of girls.

Anger rose in their hearts, and evil thoughts took hold of them; the three of them were already imagining how to ruin Li Wei's face.

Li Wei, pretending not to know, wanted to complain inwardly. It seemed that the previous philosophical feast had had a significant negative impact on Hyoudou Makoto, even causing him to turn to the dark side.

Li Wei recalled that when he was watching the anime before, the character Hyoudou Makoto in the story didn't have the twisted personality he has now. He never expected that Hyoudou Makoto would want to disfigure him and make him lose his competitiveness in school.

It must be said that Li Wei admired Hyoudou Makoto's ideas. Because Li Wei himself was a very despicable person, he found Hyoudou Makoto's method of attacking dissidents to be very efficient. If he were just an ordinary person, Hyoudou Makoto's solution could resolve the charisma crisis in the shortest amount of time.

Unfortunately, Li Wei is no ordinary person, so Hyoudou Makoto's ideas will inevitably fall through sooner or later.

Moreover, Li Wei wasn't exactly a pushover; the other party had already harbored ill intentions towards him, so he wasn't going to forgive them with a smile. Since Hyoudou Makoto already had this idea, then he wouldn't hold back any longer.

Meanwhile, Hyoudou Makoto whispered to his two best friends, "We have to pretend we don't know him right now. We absolutely can't alert him. After we leave the pachinko parlor, I'll go find him. Just you wait and see, when school reopens, we definitely won't see him anymore."

Matsuda and Motohama both wore sinister smiles. Neither of them were good people to begin with, and after hearing Hyoudou Makoto's plan, they felt no remorse whatsoever. Instead, they were thinking that the sooner they could disfigure Li Wei, the better.

Chapter 1. Tracking

Since Hyoudou Makoto and the others have decided to take action, Li Wei naturally wants to create some opportunities for them.

Hyoudou Makoto said, "If we call someone now, it might be too late. I've changed my mind. Let's find someone to investigate his address and his daily routine first. Only when we find a suitable opportunity can we avoid arousing suspicion."

Matsuda said, "You're right. If we take action now, the pachinko parlor will definitely be suspected, which will be troublesome for us. After all, it's illegal for minors to enter a pachinko parlor, and if we get involved, it could easily attract unnecessary attention."

Hyoudou Makoto and Motohama both nodded in agreement.

Hyoudou Makoto said, "When he leaves, I will follow him from a distance. First, I need to find out where he lives. Once I find his place, the rest will be easy."

Matsuda said, "Let's get up and follow them. The three of us will pretend not to know them and each follow Duan. That will make the other side less vigilant."

Li Wei was somewhat disappointed. He had originally thought that Hyoudou Makoto would make his move after he left the pachinko parlor, but it didn't matter now. Hyoudou Makoto and the others were still intelligent. Before they even made a move, they were already thinking about how to extricate themselves from the situation. This cautious approach was good, and he appreciated it.

When Li Wei left the pachinko parlor, the three of them followed him from a distance. It must be said that Hyoudou Makoto and the others did have a talent for tracking, and with him deliberately slowing down, the three of them tracked him very easily.

The three of them followed Li Wei onto the train. Li Wei specifically chose a crowded carriage. Although it wasn't rush hour, Tokyo, with its population of over 20 million, still had relatively crowded trains on busy routes, even during off-peak hours.

After boarding the tram, Hyodo Makoto and his group's pursuit became less smooth due to the large number of people on board. Afraid of losing track of Li Wei, they tried to get as close to him as possible. While the crowded tram meant they weren't worried about being discovered by Li Wei, moving within the cramped space was no easy task.

At that moment, Li Wei had a sudden thought, and Matsuda's eyes lost focus. As if possessed, his hand landed on the buttocks of a young white-collar woman.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the office lady froze, turned around, and grabbed Matsuda's hand. Matsuda, still in a daze, gripped the woman's buttocks tightly, squeezing harder.

The office lady's pretty face flushed red. She took a deep breath and shouted, "There's a pervert!"

Everyone in the carriage turned to look, and then they saw Matsuda's hand still clenching. The Japanese were very indifferent, and no one stepped forward to help. Motohama quickly stepped forward and slapped Matsuda across the face.

Still in a daze, Matsuda was jolted awake and asked with a confused look, "What happened?"

Yuan Bin said with a grim expression, "Look at what you've done! How could you do such a foolish thing?!"

Attacking a woman on a train can lead to social death. Japan often has short films and games featuring trains, creating the illusion that one can do whatever they want on a train. In reality, doing such a thing on a train will get you arrested.

The patrolman inside the vehicle, blowing a whistle, walked through the crowd and asked, "What's going on?"

The office lady grabbed Matsuda by the collar and said, "This guy attacked me! And a lot of people saw it."

The man said, "I have a video recording here. If needed, this video recording can be used as evidence."

Upon hearing the older man's words, the office lady's face lit up with joy, while the faces of Hyoudou Makoto and the other two were quite grim.

The security guard inside the train said, "Then I'll trouble you. Could you send me this video? This lady and I are getting off at the platform in a bit, and we need to hand this young man over to the police."

Upon hearing the words of the guard inside the vehicle, Matsuda's face turned ashen.

Li Wei, who had been watching the spectacle from the sidelines, wore a satisfied smile.

Hyodo Makoto and the other two were all planning to deal with him, so he wouldn't hold back. As for Matsuda, he'd give him a social death first, and then there would be plenty of time to slowly torment him. Li Wei also had plans for Hyodo Makoto and Motohama.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··

After the tram stopped at the platform, Matsuda was escorted off the tram by the security guards and an office lady. The three people you thought you saw walked to the guard post responsible for maintaining order on the platform. Several tall and strong guards looked at Matsuda, and now he had no chance to escape.

Although Matsuda was arrested, Hyoudou Makoto and Motohama continued to follow him. Meanwhile, Li Wei had already called the Philosophy Club and asked them to prepare at the designated location.

The members of the Philosophy Club are all money-grubbing types, and because Li Wei cleans up their messes, they act without restraint and have no fear of retaliation from the victims. However, ordinary high school students like Hyoudou Makoto and Motohama, even if they wanted to take revenge on the Philosophy Club, wouldn't have the ability.

.... .......

After getting off at the designated location, Li Wei sensed that the two people behind him were still following him, so he calmly continued forward. He led the two people to a family restaurant to solve the problem of lunch, and then continued on his way at a leisurely pace.

Li Wei was stalling for time, since it would take time for the people from the Philosophy Club to arrive from the club. Once Li Wei located that the people from the Philosophy Club had arrived, he made a phone call to notify them to prepare for the operation, and then led the two men towards the low-end apartment area where there were few people during the day.

Hyoudou Makoto and Motohama hung steadily behind Li Wei, following his footsteps into the depths of the apartment area. Just after entering a secluded alley, Hyoudou Makoto and Motohama realized that they had lost their target.

Yuan Bin spat and said, "What bad luck! We've already chased them all the way here, and we've still lost them."

Hyoudou Makoto's expression wasn't very good either. He said, "It's okay. After classes resume, I'll investigate through the school. I'm sure I'll be able to find out his information. Let him wander around for a while longer. In the end, we'll be the ones who win."

Just then, Hyoudou Makoto heard footsteps behind him. The footsteps were slightly chaotic, and it was clear that there were more than one person.

Chapter 1. Meeting Again

Hyoudou Makoto went too far and then saw a scene that made his scalp tingle, because he saw a familiar face that he would never want to remember.

Those were big guys wearing very little clothing, everyone was dressed very scantily, all in dark leather belts and outfits. Hyoudou Makoto realized that his legs were already numb.

Motohama also turned around, but having not experienced what Hyodo Makoto had gone through, he was unaware of just how dangerous this philosopher was.

"Hehe, come and eat some cannonballs!"

"Yay!"

Hyoudou Makoto grabbed Motohama's hand and said, "Run! If this guy catches us, we're done for!"

Yuanbin stumbled as Hyoudou Makoto pulled him along, barely managing to keep up, and said, "Why are we running away? Do these guys even recognize us?"

"Stop talking so much, just run away. Falling into their hands would be worse than death." Hyoudou Makoto's face turned pale as he recalled his hellish experience. After leaving the Philosophy Club, he spent a long time in the hospital to recover. During his recovery, he experienced the embarrassment of fecal incontinence, which was also related to those Philosophy Club members.

Although he had already been expelled, Makoto Hyoudou never wanted to go through that again. The physical torture was only one aspect; the real torture was the mental distortion.
