If that's really the case, then Kasumigaoka Utaha's charm truly deserves to be called universally appealing.

Despite being stared at with such sharp eyes, Li Wei remained calm. Although she was a wealthy young lady, an unattainable figure for ordinary people, she was ultimately just an ordinary person to someone like him who possessed extraordinary power.

Before he obtained his cheat ability, being glared at fiercely by such a sharp and beautiful woman might have made Li Wei a little flustered. But now, he's used to that look. After all, only mediocre people don't attract envy. Once you far surpass ordinary people, you naturally have to face the envy and jealousy of those around you.

Before long, the sound of a piano filled the hall. As a master pianist, Li Wei instinctively began to comment on the music, which was an old habit of his.

To Li Wei's slight surprise, the handsome young man playing the piano was technically passable; at least for his age, such playing skills made him one of the best among his peers. Although he was still far behind Li Wei at that age, Li Wei knew he was an exception, and it would be unreasonable to demand that ordinary people meet his standards.

Time passed by unnoticed, and Li Wei and Kasumigaoka Utaha lingered in the venue until noon. After a simple lunch, they prepared to leave.

Just as Li Wei and Kasumigaoka Utaha were leaving, Yamashiro Ren, the one who had come to cause trouble earlier, blocked their way. Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned slightly and said, "Could you please move aside? Thank you."

Ren Yamashiro's expression was somewhat complicated; she seemed to want to say something, but hesitated, unable to speak. She looked at Li Wei and said, "Could you say a few words?"

Chapter 103. An Unexpected Relationship

Kasumigaoka Utaha took Li Wei's hand, gently shook her head, and looked at him with worry in her eyes.

Li Wei gently stroked Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand, gave her a reassuring look, and whispered, "It's okay, I'll be right back, just wait for me a moment."

Seeing that Li Wei had already made up his mind, Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped trying to stop him.

Li Wei followed Shancheng Lian to a bench under a large tree not far away.

Yamashiro Ren said, "I'm really jealous of you. The girl I waited for for five years has finally fallen into someone else's arms. How despicable!"

"You like Shiyu?" Li Wei asked.

Ren Yamashiro nodded and said, "That's not liking, that's love. I love her more than I love myself."

Li Wei was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected this tall, beautiful girl to have such a yandere-like nature. An ordinary person would certainly have a headache dealing with such a troublesome young lady.

"If you love her, why does she hate you so much? That doesn't make sense," Li Wei asked curiously.

During his previous mental conversation with Kasumigaoka Utaha, Li Wei learned about some of Kasumigaoka Utaha's experiences during her middle school years.

According to Kasumigaoka Utaha's account, the girl in front of her had also caused her trouble in the past. Because of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha also considered Yamashiro Ren to be one of the villains who made things difficult for her.

Ren Yamashiro gave a bitter smile: "What do you know? When I was in the second year of junior high school, I confessed my feelings to her, but she rejected me. When I graduated from junior high school, I used my family's connections to arrange an admission letter for her to the Tiancheng Noble Private School, but she went to Toyonosaki without a word. Since then, I haven't seen her for more than two years. She doesn't answer my calls or reply to my messages."

Li Wei was immediately taken aback, never expecting that the feelings between girls could be so "intense". Yamashiro Ren was a typical example of "the domineering young lady falls in love with me", but because she made her move too late, she still ended up as the loser.

Ren Yamashiro continued, "Ten-Sei Noble Private High School is one of the top private high schools in all of Japan, with extremely strong teaching resources. It's also a social platform for the nobility and aristocracy to maintain relationships. I wanted to bring her into my world, but she was dismissive of it. Ten-Sei Noble Private School is a closed school, and I rarely have the chance to escape. Even if I do, I can't find her or contact her. You have no idea how happy I was that she was willing to participate in the class reunion this time. But the happier I was before, the more painful it is now."

Li Wei was able to sense changes in other people's emotions. Yamashiro Ren wasn't lying; she was heartbroken. This was the first time Li Wei had ever seen someone in such intense pain. It was clear how sincere Yamashiro Ren's feelings for Kasumigaoka Utaha were, even though those feelings seemed quite twisted to outsiders.

However, Li Wei remained a spectator, observing the situation. Kasumigaoka Utaha was now his woman, and even if she were a girl, he wouldn't dare wield a hoe. Although a yandere beauty like Yamashiro Ren was quite alluring, Li Wei, considering the peace and tranquility of his own household, dared not provoke this yandere young lady.

"After all that rambling, let's get to the point. I don't have time to waste with you. Shiyu is waiting for me," Li Wei said with a smile.

Ren Yamashiro was so speechless by Li Wei's words that she almost couldn't breathe. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't have much to say. Be good to her and don't let her be sad. If I find out you're bullying her, I'll tie you up, stuff you into a cement pillar, and throw you into Tokyo Bay."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Li Wei's eyes sharpened as he retorted. He was the type who would respond to gentle persuasion but not force; if anyone dared to threaten him, he would retaliate and teach them a lesson.

Yamashiro Ren said, "It depends on how you interpret it. Anyway, this is my suggestion. As for what you think, it's up to you. If I find out that you have wronged Shiyu, no matter who you are, I will drag you to hell even if it costs me my life, and I will go down there myself."

"You're a lunatic," Li Wei said calmly. If it weren't for Yamashiro Ren protecting Kasumigaoka Utaha during middle school, shielding her from direct bullying, Li Wei wouldn't have tolerated her. This was, in a way, repaying a favor for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Without her, I've gone mad. Treat her well, that's my humblest request." After saying this, Yamashiro Ren turned and left.

After turning around, she walked towards the entrance on the first floor of the building, large tears streaming down her face, soaking her makeup. She kept wiping away her tears, trying to appear indifferent, not wanting Li Wei to see her most vulnerable side. However, Li Wei, with his perception activated, already knew that Yamashiro Ren was putting on a brave face. Originally, Li Wei had no liking for this somewhat yandere young lady, but after seeing her true self, his feelings for her became complicated, mixed with three parts pity and seven parts admiration. In any case, he couldn't do what Yamashiro Ren did, watching his beloved girl fall into someone else's arms.

Faced with this situation, Li Wei would stop at nothing to eliminate his rival. As a Europa Universalis player from Paradox Interactive, his moral compass is only slightly higher than that of Stellaris players. To achieve his goals and win the heart of the girl he loves, what wouldn't he do?

Li Wei felt no sympathy for Yamashiro Ren, nor did he intend to take her into his household. After all, not every young lady was as kind-hearted as Eriri. Compared to Eriri, Yamashiro Ren, also a young lady, was like a poisonous rose with thorns—it was best to admire her from afar, but not to get too close, lest one prick one's hand.

Li Wei returned to Kasumigaoka Utaha's side.

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked curiously, "Darling, what did you two talk about?"

Chapter 104. First Ten-Pull

"We just talked about things related to you. That young lady, in some ways, is similar to Eriri; they're both two-faced," Li Wei said with a sigh.

However, unlike Eriri in the original story who became a loser because of her lack of honesty about her feelings, Ren Yamashiro is quite frank about his feelings. In his second year of middle school, he confessed to Utaha Kasumigaoka, completely unconcerned about the impact that excessive intimacy between girls would have if word got out.

Unfortunately, due to Ren Yamashiro's twisted and yandere personality, she pushed Kasumigaoka Utaha further and further away, which ultimately benefited Li Wei, who came from behind.

If this young lady's personality hadn't been so twisted, and if she had approached Kasumigaoka Utaha in a normal way instead of bullying her to attract her attention, perhaps even the original plot of "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" would have been drastically different, and might even have spawned an "what if" timeline.

Of course, if it's a middle school yuri world line, the original storyline would become an "if" world line.

Li Wei guessed that Yamashiro Ren might be a hidden character that Maruto hadn't written out, with an awkward personality like Akane Suzaka, and also had some plot connection with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"That guy is hiding a secret too," Kasumigaoka Utaha remarked.

After thinking it over, Li Wei gave up the idea of ​​telling Kasumigaoka Utaha the truth. In any case, he and his confidantes would eventually leave this world, so there was no need to leave too many ties behind.

Li Wei and Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't stay there long. After hailing a taxi on the street, they returned to their apartment.

After returning to the apartment, Kasumigaoka Utaha changed her clothes into a cool set of home pajamas and went to the air-conditioned room to take a nap with Machida Sonoko and Kato Megumi.

Having long surpassed human limits and feeling no fatigue, Li Wei stayed in his study, turned on his computer, but didn't know what to do. After the first volume of his novel was published, he felt as if he had accomplished something very important, and a sense of lethargy crept in uninvited. Now he couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

"I don't want to write, I don't want to draw, and I don't even want to play online games. After all, I'll leave this world sooner or later, and I can't take my online game account with me. The harder I grind now, the greater the loss will be when I leave." Li Wei lay on the small resting bed in the study, his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling, all his thought processes in a relaxed state. This leisurely state of doing nothing is quite nice to experience occasionally.

Li Wei suddenly remembered that he had already broken through the 10,000 mark in his hands, and Aki Tomoya's usefulness had been almost completely squeezed out. Now he had enough points to do two 10-pulls, so he might as well do a 10-pull and see if his luck was good or bad.

After thinking for a while, Li Wei felt that he needed to increase his trump cards. Although the basic rewards the system gave him were very good, he couldn't rely on his current abilities to get by. Naturally, the more trump cards he had, the better.

Li Wei sank his consciousness into the depths of his divine sense, activating the system's interface. He had already explored all the various interfaces of the system and was very familiar with each functional module.

After opening the lottery interface, Li Wei saw that this round's lottery pool actually included the gold-quality "Floating Island," but considering the odds of winning it, Li Wei gave up all hope.

The lottery system contains various prizes, ranked from lowest to highest: white, green, blue, purple, gold, and the highest rank, cyan.

You're guaranteed a purple item after 30 ten-pulls, and a gold item after 100 ten-pulls.

However, considering the points required for so many ten-pulls, Li Wei had given up hope for the guaranteed prize. Without hope, there would be no disappointment. In any case, he was just trying it out this time, and he wouldn't say anything regardless of the quality of the prize.

This limited-time, probability-enhanced gold reward, the Floating Island, is undoubtedly powerful as a gold-quality reward. The Floating Island can be stored within the user's consciousness or spiritual sea, allowing the user to travel to different worlds, absorbing their resources for growth, and ultimately developing into an independent world.

The default area of ​​the floating island is 300 square kilometers. When it is stored in the user's consciousness or mental sea, the user can control the environment of the floating island through thought. Whether it is modifying the terrain, building various buildings, or adding various supernatural power MODs, it is a very simple thing.

However, once a floating island that has not yet grown to its full form is taken out of the user's consciousness or mental sea, it becomes very troublesome to put it back in, unless the floating island has grown to a certain level, in which case such trouble can be avoided.

Li Wei sighed. He wasn't confident in his luck. When he used to play mobile games, he could only get the guaranteed reward when drawing cards or winning prizes. He didn't even dare to dream of getting lucky on his first try like a lucky dog.

He would be perfectly content if he could get a blue reward item in a single ten-pull.

Li Wei consciously pressed the ten-draw button on the interface, only to find that he couldn't skip the draw animation and could only watch different lights flash.

The first prize from the ten-pull (by Li Wei) is a white samurai sword with the ability to ward off evil, providing a certain boost when dealing with otherworldly beings. For Li Wei, it's like a useless trinket, but for ordinary people, a weapon of this caliber is already considered a legendary divine weapon.

The second prize is a green-quality power armor, with a relatively rough and wild style and not particularly high technical content. Its unique bear paint job gives off a strong vodka vibe.

The third prize is a set of white-quality talismans, which have a good killing effect on ghosts.

The fourth prize is a green-quality short bow that can draw energy from the user's body to condense arrows, which is of little use to Li Wei.

Li Wei was starting to have doubts about life. Four prizes in a row were all junk. Was this ten-pull going to be a complete disaster?

Chapter 105. Ten consecutive wins of two gold items, turning an unlucky player into a lucky one.

Just as Li Wei's eyes had turned into lifeless, silvery eyes, a golden light swept over him, illuminating the entire spiritual space with a dazzling golden glow.

"Holy crap! My eyes! Is this luck I traded my lifespan for?!" Li Wei exclaimed inwardly, because he couldn't find any more suitable words to describe his feelings at that moment.

The golden light gradually softened, and Li Wei could finally see clearly what the reward for a gold-quality item was.

A tiny floating island!!!

Lying on the bed, Li Wei began to wriggle excitedly, twisting like a maggot.

At this moment, he could no longer control his expression. He had won the gold reward with a limited-time increased probability in just one ten-pull. Li Wei didn't know what to say. His feelings at this moment were like an ordinary person suddenly finding out that he had won 50 million in the lottery. Excessive excitement made it difficult for him to control himself.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh... Hahahahahaha!!!" Li Wei revealed an exaggerated smile like Kogoro Mouri, his whole face was twisted from laughing.

This made Li Wei very happy, because the floating island was the most practical thing for him. He had quite a few confidantes, and how to settle them was still a troublesome problem. After all, the sudden appearance of so many beautiful women in the real world would definitely cause a lot of trouble, big or small.

Now that he has the floating island, Li Wei can properly settle his confidantes without worrying about all sorts of messy problems.

Just as Li Wei was struggling to control his smile, the lottery continued.

The quality of the sixth prize was also revealed: a pair of white-quality pistols. The barrels had built-in magic-breaking arrays that could enchant the ordinary bullets loaded with them, allowing them to fire bullets with different functions depending on the user's needs. Although they were fully functional, their lethality was just so-so, and one couldn't expect too much from white-quality pistols.

The seventh prize is still white. It is a test tube containing a mysterious liquid. Injecting this liquid into the human body will cause unknown mutations. However, since most of the mutations are unstable and malignant, using this thing is almost like suicide.

The eighth prize is also of white quality: a set of dark purple women's underwear. Wearing it can enhance a woman's charm to a certain extent, and long-term wear can also improve her figure.

Li Wei thought about it and realized that Eriri would need this prop, since her figure was far too tragic compared to others.

The ninth item was a white one that had already numbed Li Wei: a peach wood sword made of lightning-struck wood. When infused with magic, it could effectively kill various alien beings and came with a "lightning in the sword" spell.

The tenth event was when the entire spiritual space shone with golden light, and Li Wei felt that he could hardly breathe.

Although he didn't know what the gold-quality reward would be this time, he was already satisfied no matter what it was. After all, getting two gold-quality prizes in a row in a ten-pull made him really afraid that he was trading his lifespan for luck.

After the golden light softened, Li Wei could clearly see what the golden quality reward was this time. It was an ancient-looking thread-bound book, like a miscellaneous book from a roadside secondhand bookstore. However, the large characters on the surface of the thread-bound book made Li Wei's breath catch in his throat.

Because this book is called "The Yellow Emperor's Ascension Classic".
