A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

"I might as well go check on Aki Tomoya. After all, he's my best tool for grinding points, so I can't not take good care of him." Li Wei, who was flying in the sky, changed his original direction. After landing and buying some fruit, he flew towards the hospital.

When he entered the ward, he found that in addition to Aki Tomoya, there was also a beautiful, mature-looking girl with short purple hair in the private room.

"Aki-kun, I didn't expect there to be other guests here. I'll head out first." Li Wei immediately recognized the girl in the ward. She was the character who appeared in the later part of the first season of the anime. In the original story, she was responsible for singing and performing for the game. After being impressed by Kasumigaoka Utaha's beauty, the slightly less beautiful Michiru Hyodo didn't pose much of a challenge to Li Wei. So he calmly smiled and didn't even glance at Michiru Hyodo.

Aki Tomoya raised his hand and said, "Li Weijun, wait, there's no need to go out. This is my distant cousin, Hyodo Michiru."

Aki Tomoya said to Hyodo Michiru, "This is Li Wei, the student from Okinawa who funded my game production and is also my mentor and friend who constantly spurred me on to improve."

Li Wei extended his hand to Hyodo Michiru with a friendly smile and said, "Nice to meet you, beautiful Hyodo-san. I am Aki-kun's classmate, and also a fellow otaku like him."

With a surprised expression on her flushed cheeks, Michihiro Hyoudou said, "It's hard to imagine that someone like Li Weijun would be a homebody like Allen."

Michiru Hyodo was genuinely surprised. After all, a dazzlingly handsome guy like Li Wei would give the first impression of being a social butterfly, but Li Wei actually revealed that he was an otaku. How could anyone not be surprised?

Michiru Hyodo was also secretly observing Li Wei. Now that Li Wei's charm had been upgraded again, he could turn heads almost 100% of the time when walking down the street. Girls like Michiru Hyodo, who were already quite knowledgeable about matters between men and women, unconsciously looked at Li Wei with other emotions in their eyes.

Hyodo Michiru was extremely shocked. After all, a handsome man like Li Wei, who looked like he had stepped out of a painting, was like a god in mythology, and seemed like he should not exist in the human world at all.

He's way more handsome than those so-called celebrities and idols. Michiru Hyodo considers herself a fairly rational person, but when she saw Li Wei, she couldn't help but have some lewd thoughts.

"After all, there's an old saying in Chongguo: 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' A person's outward appearance often differs from their inner self," Li Wei said with a smile. Li Wei was a wolf in sheep's clothing; he never denied that he was a villain.

Li Wei placed the fruit basket at the head of the hospital bed, pulled out a stool, and sat down beside the bed.

"An Yi-kun, how are your legs feeling these past two days? Are they getting better?" Li Wei asked with a concerned expression, a smile always on his face.

"It's not bad. The doctor said I'll be able to walk in about two months. For now, I can only use a wheelchair and crutches." Aki Tomoya smiled, but there was always a hint of resentment in his smile.

Li Wei said, "That biker gang got off easy. If he hadn't been left with cerebral palsy, I would have made him pay compensation until he was bankrupt. But now he can only lie in a hospital bed, which is his just desserts."

"That guy must have been in pretty bad shape too. These biker gangs who don't follow traffic rules are a potential source of instability in this city. If nothing happens, all is well, but if something does happen, it's usually a big deal," Aki Tomoya remarked.

Because his leg was broken by a biker gang, Aki Tomoya now has no good feelings towards them. If the other party hadn't also fallen so badly, he would have supported Li Wei in filing a lawsuit. After all, he felt frustrated because he was the victim, but he couldn't find a target to vent his anger on.

Li Wei said, "I'm here to explain the situation. Given your current condition, even if you force yourself to work, it will be difficult to complete the work on time. So I'm going to change the time of the exhibition, from this year's winter comic convention to next year's spring comic convention, so that you will have enough time to polish the work."

Aki Tomoya showed a grateful expression. Although Li Wei had given him unlimited financial support, he had also put a lot of pressure on him. The contract for this work stipulated that it should be exhibited at the winter comic convention, but now that he had been in a car accident, it was very inconvenient for him to work, and the production of the work would definitely not be able to keep up with the expected schedule.

Because of this matter, Aki Tomoya hasn't been able to eat or sleep well for the past few days. Unexpectedly, Li Wei proactively extended the time, which is a good thing for him.

“Aki-kun, you’re having trouble walking right now, so I’m too lazy to update the contract. Anyway, this contract is just to motivate you. As long as you can finally produce the work, a little delay doesn’t matter,” Li Wei said with a smile. Aki Tomoya’s expression turned excited, and his voice unconsciously rose: “Li Wei-kun, you’re such an angel! If it’s for next year’s spring anime convention, then there won’t be any problem with the timing.”

Heidou Michiru, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was completely confused. However, seeing Aki Tomoya's grateful expression, she, who did not know the inside story, felt that Li Wei was a very good person, just like his appearance.

Li Wei's current magnanimity is simply to leave a good first impression on Hyodo Michiru.

Aki Tomoya looked at Hyodo Michiru sitting next to him and said, "Michiru, weren't you studying back in your hometown? Why did you suddenly come to Tokyo?"

With her hands behind her head, Michiru Hyoudou smiled and said, "I had a fight with my family and had nowhere to go, so I just came here. I'm homeless now, and if you don't take me in, I'll have to sleep on the streets."

"You argued with your uncle again? What happened this time?" Aki Tomoya looked troubled.

“Alan, you know, I’ve been in a band since high school. After our band became a hot topic at the previous school festival, some live shows approached us, hoping we could perform. Because of this, I had a fight with my dad, so I came to Tokyo.”

“You should listen to your parents more…” Aki Tomoya sighed.

Li Wei understood perfectly. He had also seen the original anime storyline. Michiru Hyodo ran away from home after arguing with her family and ended up in Tokyo. Then, through a series of events, she became a member of Aki Tomoya's game development team.

Michiru Hyodo and Tomo Aki were born on the same day, month, and year in the same hospital. Given their kinship, they were quite close when they were young.

Li Wei thought about it and realized that Hyodo Michiru was a tough nut to crack, but if he could defeat her, it would be a huge psychological blow to Aki Tomoya, and he might even be able to rack up a thousand or two thousand points.

With this in mind, the despicable Li Wei began to let his mind wander, thinking of a way to break the deadlock. In just a few dozen seconds, he found a solution.

However, from the perspective of ordinary people's morality, this method is extremely despicable. But for Paradox Interactive players like Li Wei, despicable means are not a problem at all, as long as the goal can be achieved.

Chapter 109. Michiru's Curiosity

Aki Tomoya said, "Anyway, my parents are usually not home. I'll give you the key, and you can go by yourself. You'll be able to find the place."

To facilitate his recovery, Aki Tomoya did not go home but planned to stay in the hospital for an extended period. The Aki family is relatively well-off, and every member of the family has personal accident insurance. In the case of this accident, the insurance company provided compensation. Therefore, Aki Tomoya plans to recover in the hospital before returning to school.

As for the lessons he missed during this period, there was no way to catch up. After all, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Besides, he hadn't considered the issue of further education. Rather than wasting several years in university just to get a degree, it would be better to create a decent game now as a stepping stone to a game company. Whether he became a producer in a game company or started his own business after accumulating enough capital, it would be much better than simply going to university.

Aki Tomoya had already planned his future path in his mind, something that would normally be extremely difficult. However, with Li Wei's financial support, the difficulty had been greatly reduced. He could confidently and boldly experiment without worrying about funding shortages.

Being able to use unlimited funds to make games is something many game developers dream of, and Aki Tomoya felt that if he didn't seize this opportunity, he would really be struck by lightning.

Aki Tomoya looked at Li Wei. His feelings for Li Wei were complicated. Li Wei had taken away the girls he cherished: his childhood friend Eriri, the beautiful upperclassman he had always admired, and the detective girl from the hillside, Kato Megumi, who inspired his desire to make games.

Each girl's departure was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, and his heart is still bleeding to this day.

However, without Li Wei's support, his game development plan would not have been as easy as it is now; the heavy financial pressure alone would have been enough to crush him.

Although the production cost of dating sims is much lower than that of other games, it's still impossible to create a top-tier, high-quality dating sim without spending money.

Aki Tomoya sighed and said, "Li Wei-kun, thank you for your help all this time. Please continue to guide me in the future."

Li Wei was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Aki Tomoya to be so calm. It seemed that Aki Tomoya had made considerable progress in his mindset after experiencing a series of events.

Li Wei also felt a little admiration for Aki Tomoya. He was able to suppress his dislike for him and express his gratitude on the surface. Such a ruthless person would eventually succeed no matter where he was.

Unfortunately, Li Wei won't give Aki Tomoya a chance to shine.

Li Wei said, "We're all friends, no need to be so polite. I'd love to play your new game, so keep up the good work. By the way, where have you arranged the studio staff? I'd like to go see them. It would be best if you left me a token, so I don't get turned away when I get there."

Aki Tomoya pulled an access card from his small bag and said, "With this, they'll know who you are, because I only prepared this one for you besides myself. They're..."

Aki Tomoya gave him an address, which Li Wei memorized. It was time to visit the employees. Li Wei wanted to see if he could use a few employees to rack up some more points with Aki Tomoya.

"Then I'll take my leave. Take good care of yourself and try to get well soon," Li Wei said before leaving the ward.

Hyodo Michiru watched Li Wei close the door and leave. Then, Aki Tomoya said, "Then I'll go to your house first. I'll keep the key safe."

After saying goodbye to Michiru Hyodo and Tomoya Aki, she hurriedly left the ward.

Lying on the hospital bed, Aki Tomoya seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked towards the door of the ward, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"Even you're leaving me? Michiru!" Aki Tomoya said through gritted teeth.

After closing the door to the ward, Michi looked around and spotted Li Wei's back. She quickened her pace and chased after him.

Michiru Hyodo had always kept in touch with Tomoya Aki, but she had never heard Tomoya Aki mention having such a friend, so she was very interested in Li Wei.

Aki Tomoya had only mentioned that she had received support from a major investor and had enough funds to make the game she wanted to make. But now she realized that this so-called major investor was an incredibly handsome man. Just seeing this handsome man for the first time made her feel a little breathless.

Hyodo Michiru took three steps at a time and caught up with Li Wei, walking alongside him.

"Michiru, is there something you need?" Li Wei didn't stop walking, but just turned his head to the side.

Michiru Hyodo let out a familiar laugh and said, "I'm just a little curious about you, nothing serious. Although I've heard Allen mention you before, this is the first time I've seen you in person. He's never mentioned what you look like to me before, I guess he's a little jealous."

"Hmm... I know how much men dislike this face, so it's normal that Anki-kun hasn't mentioned my features," Li Wei said calmly.

While this statement may sound somewhat narcissistic, it is also true. Just like how Michiru Hyodo has developed an interest in him, it's all because of his face.

Humans are all driven by appearances, regardless of gender. If Li Wei were just an ordinary person, would a vibrant and beautiful girl like Michiru Hyodo be curious about him? Don't even think about it.

It was precisely because he understood this that Li Wei remained very calm.

Although he was incredibly handsome, his serious demeanor meant that almost no women dared to approach him.

But now that his charm has increased again, his demeanor is no longer so "tough," which makes women more willing to approach him. This is something Li Wei appreciates, as it makes things easier for him.

Hyodo Michiru walked beside Li Wei and said, "When I first heard about your story, I couldn't believe it. Li Wei-kun, you would actually take out ten million to support Allen's unrealistic idea. But what I didn't expect was that you were serious. What is it about Allen that caught your eye?"

Li Wei tilted his head slightly, feigning deep thought: "Perhaps it's the way he pursued his dreams that moved me. Knowing he didn't have enough talent, he still resolutely moved forward. This kind of struggle in adversity really impressed me."

Chapter 110. Building Favorability

Li Wei's words surprised Michiru. In her opinion, the reason was somewhat untenable, but it was the truth. Li Wei really did take out a sum of money to help Aki Tomoya make a game, which Michiru found incredible, even incomprehensible.

Michiru recalled a quote she'd seen somewhere before: novels need logic, but reality doesn't. Therefore, if such a thing happened in a novel, readers certainly wouldn't accept it. But such things really do exist in reality. Those readers who would criticize such things for lacking logic would probably be completely baffled when they learned about Li Wei and Aki Tomoya's affair.

Michiru Hyodo said, puzzled, "There are so many people in this world who strive for their dreams. Although Allen is my relative, I won't side with him because of this. The effort he puts into his hobby isn't enough to move others, is it?"

Hyodo Michiru has a fairly clear understanding of Aki Tomoya. After all, they are childhood friends born on the same day, month, and year. Even though they were separated when they were very young, their long-term online communication has given her a very good understanding of Aki Tomoya. How could she not know what kind of person Aki Tomoya is?

That's why she was puzzled.

Li Wei said, "That's because we're both homebodies, and we empathize with each other on certain things. His abilities aren't enough to support his ambitions, but I'm willing to give him a chance to prove himself. I guess that's a kind of mutual appreciation between homebodies."

Li Wei is such a despicable person that he can lie without batting an eye. To him, Aki Tomoya is nothing more than a tool for boosting his score, but in his words, the two of them are like Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," mutually attracted to each other. People who don't know the inside story would really believe that he and Aki Tomoya have a good relationship.

Hyodo Michiru looked at Li Wei with a surprised expression. This must be what they call being rich and willful.

"Michiru, you'll be staying at Aki-kun's house from now on, right? Do you have enough money for the fare?" Li Wei asked.

"I still have enough money for the tram," Michiru Hyodo said softly.

As a girl who didn't have much of a habit of saving money, Michiru Hyoudou didn't have much money on her. Coming from her hometown to Tokyo, the travel expenses and food costs alone had already drained most of her savings.

Michiru had already made up her mind. She wanted to debut as a singer and settle down in the big city of Tokyo. She needed to support herself first; constantly staying at Aki Tomoya's house wasn't a long-term solution. Although they were good relatives, living under someone else's roof for an extended period would sour their relationship.

Moreover, Aki Tomo wasn't home, and she was alone with two relatives and elders, which must have made her feel awkward.

So when Li Wei asked her questions related to money, Michiru Hyodo felt as if a thorn had been stuck in her heart.

"It seems your savings aren't much left. What are your long-term plans for keeping you here in Tokyo, Michi?" Li Wei asked.

"I want to become a singer, I want to take my own band to a real big stage!" Michiru Hyodo clenched her fist, her eyes shining with determination.

“It’s not easy to gain a foothold in Dongxindu. Every year, many dreamers like Michiru come here, but only one in a thousand can successfully debut and make a name for themselves,” Li Wei said.
