Li Wei said, "The first half is over, and the market is closed now. Let's call it a day. One shouldn't be too greedy."
Li Wei doesn't plan to play the second half.
Jin Chengzhai Qianye nodded and said, "Then Li Weijun, you should get some rest. I can't sleep right now, so I'll go watch TV in the living room for a while."
Li Wei said, "I'm still the same, what should I look at?"
Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Let's watch 'Monday Late Show'. Li Weijun, you actually bought the highest-level TV program package, but you don't watch TV much on weekdays. This is not cost-effective, it's very expensive."
Li Wei said, "I know it's a bit expensive, but when I'm watching TV and see the show I want to watch, a paywall suddenly pops up. Isn't that a real downer? So I'd rather spend a little more money to ensure my viewing experience."
Jin Chengzhai Qianye didn't know what to say. After all, this was Li Wei's own money, and he was free to spend it however he wanted. She wasn't the mistress of the house, and if she interfered too much, Li Wei might get annoyed.
Li Wei laughed and said, "After the live broadcast of 'Monday Late Show,' it will be a pay-per-view program. If you don't buy the program package, you'll have to pay for each episode individually, which is even less cost-effective. Paying for each episode individually is very expensive."
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Jin Chengzhai Qianye burst out laughing. Li Wei's imitation of her words was spot on.
After shutting down the computer, the two went to the living room, turned on the TV, and began to appreciate this gem of a variety show filled with bickering throughout. Although "Monday Late Show" is a relatively new program, having only started airing in 2010, its entertainment value is in no way inferior to "Super Transformation," which has been running for decades.
Volume 1. The Manager of Chunyuan Manor
Chapter 1. The New World
In this day and age, many young people have the habit of staying up late. Although the reasons vary, the negative health effects of staying up late don't discriminate. After staying up all night, everyone has to obediently catch up on sleep. Li Wei remembers when he was in junior high school, a classmate of his spent three days and three nights in an internet cafe during summer vacation because his parents weren't home. He stayed up for nearly ten hours straight and eventually died in front of the computer.
The human body has its limits. Staying up late is like incurring a debt, and one day, that debt will have to be repaid.
After watching the variety show, Li Wei sent Jin Chengzhai Qianye back to her room and urged her to go to bed early. Having done all that, Li Wei returned to the living room, looked at the TV screen which had returned to its selection menu, and wondered what to do. Should he go to the floating island to relieve some stress? He had just been there yesterday, and now he wanted to give his kidneys a rest.
After thinking about it, he realized that he had finished reading "The Manager of Sunohara-sou" and felt extremely dissatisfied. Why not address the problem directly now? Li Wei was an incredibly proactive individual. Since he had decided to go to the world of "The Manager of Sunohara-sou," he needed to first come up with a plan and make thorough preparations to make the male protagonist, whom he found very unsatisfactory, feel his dissatisfaction.
Li Wei escaped into the floating island and began creating puppets for the various actors to be used later. There were some things he couldn't do himself, as it would easily affect his image, so he needed to play the villain. A grand play can't be performed with only good cop or only bad cop. Fortunately, the more skilled Li Wei became in creating puppet clones, the more capable he was of putting on a show on his own.
It's funny to tell a huge lie and fool the whole world. Unfortunately, he can't do that in the real world because the real world is his hometown and his backyard. No matter how crazy he is outside, when he returns to the real world, he is just an ordinary college student who just wants a peaceful life.
It didn't take long for Li Wei to prepare for everything. First, he returned to the real world, then went to his study, turned on his computer, and brought up the anime "The Manager of Sunohara-sou". Li Wei felt a special spatial fluctuation, and at the end of the fluctuation, it pointed to a completely new world.
As his strength gradually increased, Li Wei was already able to sense the spatial structure of the world he was traveling through. When his strength became truly godlike or demonic, he might be able to travel to other worlds without the help of the system, relying solely on his own abilities. He looked forward to that day.
After confirming that there were no problems, Li Wei initiated the teleportation. After a slight spatial tremor, Li Wei arrived precisely at his destination, the student dormitory Chunyuan Manor.
Before Li Wei stood an old, two-story wooden apartment building. Judging from its exterior, it was quite old, and its style was a product of the late Showa era. Using his external senses, Li Wei "saw" the interior of the apartment. Although the exterior was worn, the interior was quite nice and well-organized.
Li Wei had timed it perfectly, arriving here a month before the plot officially began.
A month is enough time for him to do many things. Chunyuan Manor is a dormitory for students, and only students can live there. Li Wei doesn't want to act like a child in such a place, so he can't live there under the guise of a student. However, he already has a plan. As long as the plan is executed smoothly, he can legally move into Chunyuan Manor and even become its new manager. At that time, many things will be easier.
The current manager of Chunyuan Manor is named Chunyuan Ayaka, a gentle and broad-minded woman with a beautiful face. Although she appears intellectual, she's actually a bit of a ditz, often doing things that confuse those around her. However, people are drawn to appearances, and because of Chunyuan Ayaka's outstanding looks and gentle personality, her occasional eccentricities go unnoticed by those around her. If it were an ordinary person, their neighbors wouldn't be so forgiving.
Li Wei did not act rashly, but instead left Chunyuan Manor first to settle his identity.
In this world of Japan, the identity system is still a mess, with many loopholes to exploit. Li Wei didn't spend much effort to obtain a legal identity. In this world, he is still a Chinese citizen who came to Japan for tourism and investment.
Li Wei spent two days making his first pot of gold here. His method was still simple and crude: he found a relatively wealthy boss, manipulated him mentally, and then took the money to Las Vegas to fleece people. He turned $100,000 into $300 million. Of course, the locals also noticed Li Wei, after all, such a feat of turning $100,000 into $300 million was just too amazing.
The casinos could afford to lose, since only a small portion of the 300 million Li Wei earned came from slot machines and roulette, which are games that siphon off casino profits. Most of his winnings came from Texas Hold'em. The biggest losers were the other gamblers, and the casinos were just there for the spectacle. Moreover, Li Wei's high-stakes gambling at the casinos was a living advertisement, so the casinos naturally wouldn't ruin their own reputation.
The casino could afford to lose money to gain publicity, but other gamblers couldn't. A Mafia godfather, blinded by greed, sent men to intercept and kill Li Wei, and then tragedy struck. That night, more than a dozen corpses were hung at the entrance of the largest hotel in Las Vegas, making it look like a backward, ignorant town.
Having learned from the mistakes of these Mafia members, the next day, when Li Wei gambled heavily at the casino, no one dared to try anything with him.
Of course, Li Wei was using a false identity. Even if someone wanted to investigate him, they would eventually be trapped in a dead end because Li Wei used magic to change his appearance and disguise himself as a Scotsman with a strong accent. He even changed his race, so how could those people investigate?
After spending two days amassing wealth, Li Wei returned to Japan and began purchasing properties in the Tokyo area. With these properties, his legal status was further solidified. Japan is a very pragmatic country and will not refuse foreign investment. In Japan, money talks.
When Li Wei was registering his assets, the government officials looked at him as if he were a fool. Japan had long passed its golden age of investment; buying property there now, even if it wasn't outright throwing money away, would be extremely difficult to increase in value. These days, wealthy Japanese are buying property overseas; domestic Japanese properties have become "junk property," and truly wealthy people rarely invest heavily in Japan anymore.
Li Wei, using his mind-reading abilities, observed the thoughts of the civil servants, merely smiled, and didn't concern himself with such trivial matters. Moreover, his purpose wasn't to profit from the transaction; he simply wanted to solidify his identity, demonstrating that he wasn't some strange person or a homeless vagrant.
Chapter 1. The Perils of Humanity
After all the preparations were completed, it was already the third day since Li Wei arrived in this world. However, since the plot had not yet started, there was plenty of time, and Li Wei had ample time to complete his plans.
When it got to afternoon, Ayaka Haruhara, who was cleaning the apartment, stopped what she was doing, looked at the clock on the wall, and paused for a moment.
"It's already this late, we can go out and buy groceries. Tomorrow is a holiday, it's time for them to relax," Ayaka Haruhara said softly.
There are currently three tenants at Chunyuan Manor, all of whom are students in their final year of junior high school at Tanamachi National School. One is Yuzu Yukimoto, who is petite but intelligent and is the respected student council president, although she is quite eccentric in the story. She is also extremely self-conscious about her height and figure, feeling inferior because of her childlike physique.
The other is a girl with rare pink hair, named Kazami Yuri. She's the student council secretary at Tanamachi Gakuen. She appears harmless on the surface, but is actually quite cunning. Her favorite pastime is finding weaknesses and leverage against others. However, she knows her limits and only plays small pranks, never crossing any normal boundaries. It's worth noting that Kazami Yuri and Yukimoto Yuzu are the same age, but their physiques are completely different. Kazami Yuri has a mature figure far beyond her years, and combined with her height, she could easily be mistaken for a tall student.
The last person is Sumire Tsukimi, a girl with long, black hair and a tall, voluptuous figure. She is the vice president of the student council at Tanamachi Gakuen, Yuzu Yukimoto's right-hand woman, and also a fervent Yuzu Yukimoto fan. She frequently buys candid photos of Yuzu Yukimoto from Yuri Kazami, and is a perverted girl who gets nosebleeds just looking at photos—yes, she has a very strong yuri tendency.
Sunohara Ayaka treated the three girls like her own younger sisters and always treated them very well.
Li Wei used his mind-reading ability to perceive Sunohara Ayaka's thoughts and saw a lot of important information. At the same time, Li Wei also understood why Sunohara Ayaka seemed to have a lower intelligence in the plot. It was because this girl's experience from childhood to adulthood had been very smooth. She had never suffered any major losses, so she was seriously lacking in knowledge about the dangers of society.
It has to be said that in a complex social environment like Japan, the chances of someone never experiencing the harsh realities of life are even smaller than winning the lottery. Therefore, such a thing seems highly illogical. However, while novels often rely on logic, reality rarely does, making anything possible.
However, this time, Li Weibei gave Haruhara Ayaka a lesson, letting her know that the world is full of dangers and that it's best to be wary of others to avoid encountering misfortune.
Using a location-finding spell, Li Wei located the male protagonist, Shiina Aki, and copied his appearance, physique, and voice. Then, in his own sea of consciousness, he modified the blank, unformed puppet to resemble Shiina Aki, completing its final form. At the same time, he adjusted the voice to be somewhat similar to Shiina Aki's.
After tidying up her cleaning tools, Haruhara Ayaka left the dormitory and headed to the shopping street to buy various ingredients she would need for the next two days. She figured the prices would be lower in the afternoon than in the morning, and some vendors would even offer discounts, which was a pleasure for the thrifty and capable Haruhara Ayaka.
The shopping street wasn't far from the dormitory, only a ten-minute walk. After arriving at the shopping street with her basket, she began her shopping.
Soon, Haruhara Ayaka bought a lot of discounted ingredients. Although the freshness was not as good as in the morning, the prices were cheaper overall, so it was still quite a good deal.
Just as she was preparing to return to Chunyuan Manor, a slightly childish voice called out to her.
"Big sister, could you please do me a favor?"
As Haruhara Ayaka turned around, she saw a slender little boy behind her. The boy had delicate features, bright eyes, and looked exceptionally cute.
"Okay." Haruhara Ayaka said with a smile.
Having never suffered a loss before, Ayaka Haruhara was unaware that a carefully laid trap awaited her, and for the first time, she would witness the ugliness of humanity with her own eyes.
"Big sister, I'm a tourist from out of town. I got separated from my friend, and we agreed to meet at the meeting place, but I've looked all around here and can't find it," the little boy said with a wronged expression.
Haruhara Ayaka touched her lips with her index finger and began to think. She remembered that there was indeed a general store on this shopping street that specialized in selling miscellaneous goods, but its location was a bit out of the way, so it was normal for the little boy in front of her not to be able to find his way.
Haruhara Ayaka recalled the route and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to find your friend."
"Thank you, sister!" The little boy followed Ayaka Haruhara.
When Ayaka Haruhara led the little boy to a relatively secluded place, she suddenly felt someone attack her from behind, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Instantly, she lost all her strength.
This was the first time Haruhara Ayaka had experienced something like this, and fear instantly overwhelmed her. Although she was physically strong and could usually escape danger by relying on her speed and stamina, she was now completely powerless to do anything because she was exhausted from being ambushed.
Having lost her strength, she was carried on the back of a tall man, while the little boy who had asked her to lead the way gave her a wicked smile.
"What a stupid sow! A pushover like you deserves to be fooled," the little boy said with a wicked laugh.
The tall man said, "Boss, the car is ready."
The little boy said, "Let's go straight to the dock and get the people out today. That's a hundred thousand dollars! Once the goods are delivered, your bonuses and vacations will be all set."
The tall man said excitedly, "Thank you, boss. But boss, how about we have some fun before we deliver the goods?"
Hearing the tall man's words, Ayaka Sunohara was nearly driven to despair. She wasn't stupid; through their conversation, she realized they were professional human traffickers. She had been exploited out of compassion, especially by the little boy's innocent, effeminate, and adorable face, which stirred her maternal instincts. And so, she fell for their trick.
However, both of these people are puppet clones of Li Wei. Through this method, Li Wei teaches Sunohara Ayaka that one cannot be too kind, or one will suffer greatly. At the same time, he also plants a seed in Sunohara Ayaka's heart: aversion to the little boy's face. It's unknown what kind of interesting expression she will have when she sees the male protagonist, Shiina Aki, who bears a striking resemblance to this little boy puppet clone.
Chapter 1. Savior
Knowing her impending fate, the light in Sunohara Ayaka's eyes gradually faded. Although she could neither speak nor move, this state of still being able to think was the cruelest for her, because she would clearly see how she was falling into the abyss, which was truly terrifying.
The little boy and the tall man left the shopping street through the intricate alleyways. The two were very cautious, even taking Ayaka Sunohara's shopping basket and all the ingredients inside, displaying a professional demeanor that left no trace.
The two men led Haruhara Ayaka to a minivan. The minivan door opened automatically, revealing several men in black waiting inside. They quickly dragged Haruhara Ayaka into the car and threw her onto the back seat.
The little boy, sitting in the back seat, said, "Let's drive straight to the dock and deliver the goods tonight, lest something goes wrong."
The man in black laughed, "Alright, boss. This woman is very beautiful. This kind of top-quality woman is very rare and can fetch a good price. Rich people in Europe like these beautiful toys. What awaits her is probably being trained like a dog."
The little boy looked at Ayaka Haruhara, their eyes met, and the little boy laughed, "You want to blame us? Blame us then. Anyway, we've long since abandoned our morals as human beings. We're just after money, and you're our favorite commodity. You're worth a hundred thousand dollars, you know? To be honest, you're too stupid. You chose to believe me because I look cute. I actually have dwarfism. This face and voice are the product of surgery. What you see is all fake."
Li Wei continued to provoke Haruhara Ayaka, wanting her to experience despair. Only in this way could she know that there is a dark side to this world, and that when she is out in the world, she should be wary of vulnerable people who suddenly come to her for help.
In reality, that's exactly how it is. Many human traffickers exploit women's compassion, coupled with their physical weakness, making them easy targets for kidnappers. When you're out and about, if an elderly person or child asks for help, or a stranger wants to borrow your phone, tell them to go find the police. Don't let your excessive compassion lead you to take risks.
Many female college students trafficked in China fall victim to trafficking due to their strong sense of compassion. Some traffickers even prefer to "pick up" unconscious women outside nightclubs. Some girls believe that China is safe and can get drunk in nightclubs without consequence, unaware that traffickers prey on these naive girls. Some are drugged and abducted directly from the club, while others are picked up outside. These girls think they'll wake up in a hotel, but they might find themselves in a car or on a boat, under the influence of drugs until they are "delivered." Their fate is either to be sold to remote mountain villages as breeding machines or to Southeast Asia as prostitutes, their bones and organs bought by sorcerers for use afterward. There's also the cruel practice of "jar-like human pigs" in transgender countries, where beautiful girls' hands and feet are cut off and they are stuffed into jars for street performances. Therefore, girls must learn to protect themselves; avoid dangerous situations to prevent many perils.
Human traffickers these days are so brazen that they dare to snatch children right in the street, accusing girls of being runaways and slapping them while dragging them into a car. Girls who are terrified are easily caught in their trap. The best course of action in this situation is to quickly break free, then find someone nearby to kick them, or smash something or a phone across the street to make a scene and prevent them from being easily taken away. Paying compensation afterward is better than being trafficked.
The little boy kept hovering in front of Ayaka Haruhara to reinforce her impression of his face and show her that cute things are often poisonous. Li Wei, his true form above the car, was invisible. He precisely read Ayaka Haruhara's thoughts, and only when he saw the fear and resentment she felt towards the little boy's face did he feel satisfied. Ayaka Haruhara's problem was now cured.
Haruhara Ayaka couldn't see what was happening outside the car; she only knew that the car was moving forward. Every now and then, the little boy would mock her, but she was numb to it all. She knew there was no going back, and she had been tricked. She had no future, so there was no way for her to learn from her mistakes. In the future, she might become a plaything of some rich man, living a miserable life. Thinking of this, Haruhara Ayaka was so desperate that she almost became withdrawn.
Sunohara Ayaka thought of her younger sister and family, as well as the three residents of Sunohara-sou. Finally, she remembered her deceased grandmother. Overwhelmed with despair, she began to hallucinate.
When Haruhara Ayaka was dragged out of here, put into a bag and tied up, with only her face exposed, she found herself at an unfamiliar dock. She was exhausted and hungry, but unfortunately, under the control of anesthesia, she could only blink and move her eyeballs; she couldn't even open her mouth.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
She was carried to a tiny dock and placed on a pier. As the sky gradually darkened, Ayaka Haruhara's eyes had completely lost their light. She knew she was finished.
The little boy's hateful face reappeared before her, a mocking smile on his face, as he said, "Farewell, $100,000. I hope you live happily under your new master's tutelage. Don't be so foolish in your next life, letting your guard down just because you see a little boy. Little boys can be dangerous too."
At this point, Ayaka Haruhara no longer had the strength to be angry. She was so hungry that her vision was blurry and her stomach was cramping, but because of the effects of the anesthetic, she couldn't do anything.
Just then, she heard a voice as beautiful as heaven.
"What are you guys doing here, sneaking around like that?" A magnetic, steady, yet youthful voice rang out.
