A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei placed his hand on Shiina Aki's head, ruffled his hair, and laughed, "You little rascal, why are you always thinking of ways to cheat? There are never any shortcuts to training. You can deceive your brain, but you can't deceive your body, and your body won't lie to you. The results of real training and not real training are completely different."

Shiina Aki was very disappointed. He was used to taking shortcuts, and the fact that there were no shortcuts left made him very upset.

Chapter 1. Hidden Knowledge

After training, it was everyone's favorite time to rest. Nothing is more enjoyable than a slice of frozen watermelon after a workout, or perhaps an ice-cold cola.

Li Wei scooped the watermelon out of the ice basin, wiped it dry with a cloth, placed it on a tray, and cut it into neat slices with a fruit knife.

Several girls gathered around and, without any hesitation, started eating the watermelon. Martial arts practice was subtly changing their lifestyle. Ordinary girls are conscious of their image and pay attention to details in everything they do, but as they began practicing martial arts and gradually mastered strength, these girls became more dashing and uninhibited.

However, Li Wei really liked these sporty beauties. He wasn't one to follow rules, and in his vast harem on the floating island, every partner was equal, with no hierarchy among them. Because of this equality, he never faced the problem of his harem falling into chaos. When the atmosphere was harmonious, even girls with rather aloof personalities would unconsciously be influenced by the environment and become more cheerful.

It is precisely because of this personality that he can make the overall atmosphere more harmonious, so he is happy to see the girls around him become more carefree and unconcerned with trivial matters.

Haruhara Ayaka looked at the girls who were eating watermelon and said, "After you take a shower, get some rest. I'll be checking on you tonight. If I catch you playing on your phones, you'll be punished."

Yuzu swallowed the watermelon in her mouth and said, "Don't worry, Ayaka-nee. I've broken the bad habit of playing on my phone in bed. And now I exercise so much every day that I can fall asleep right after taking a shower."

Ayaka Haruhara laughed and said, "So who was the person I caught playing on their phone in bed last time?"

Yuzu Yukimoto said somewhat awkwardly, "It's just that I can't help it occasionally, and I was also logging into the martial arts forum to see what other martial arts practitioners have to say."

Haruhara Ayaka said, "Instead of getting involved with all that mixed information, the truth of which is hard to discern, it's better to diligently practice the techniques Li Weijun taught you. But speaking of which, lately, a martial arts trend has swept through the young people of Tokyo. I've heard that many dojos in Tokyo are doing much better business now."

Hearing Ayaka Haruhara's words, Li Wei simply smiled. This was because the battle videos of his puppet clones had gradually spread online, not only on the Japanese internet but also among internet users in Europe and America, who had seen the battle videos with exaggerated destructive effects.

The content, which features breaking mud pillars with bare hands, grabbing cars and smashing them down, leaping several meters high and scaling walls, as well as various ancient martial arts that look very cool and are extremely lethal, has a huge appeal to netizens.

As these combat videos have gradually spread, ordinary people now truly believe that in places they cannot see, there exists a savage and cruel mysterious underworld where everyone possesses unique skills and killing is as simple as killing a chicken.

At the same time, the existence of Qin's Secret Manual became known to more people. The fact that so many underground forces fought tooth and nail for this treasure naturally attracted the attention of even more powerful forces. In particular, Qin's Secret Manual was rumored to be incredibly powerful, with the secrets within granting immortality. This alone attracted many truly powerful and influential people to join the scramble for it.

Just like fishing, you have to let the fish take the bait. Two days ago, Li Wei released the contents of three books, which are cultivation manuals that can increase personal strength. At the same time, he also arranged for two groups of puppet clones to perish together, so that the books would appear in Tokyo.

This is precisely why all the external forces truly drawn to the competition, including intelligence agencies from various countries, have joined the fray, resulting in fierce and bloody battles. Consequently, Tokyo's security has been exceptionally poor these past two days, with gunshots even audible in the city center; one might mistake it for the streets of Detroit.

His arrival gradually distorted this otherwise ordinary world, devoid of any mystical elements. The construction of a power system, to some extent, requires the knowledge and conviction of the masses.

In other words, when everyone in the world believes that as long as they train hard, they can gain power beyond the limits of normal humans, then the subconscious Gaia of this world will respond to the call of the people, and someone will indeed be able to surpass the limits and reach a non-human level.

To some extent, the distortion of knowledge and information can cause a "world upgrade," but this is a low-probability event. This knowledge is recorded in the occult books that Li Wei redeemed from the system. Although these books will not directly grant Li Wei power, they will allow him to know more, enabling him to better cope with various unknown situations.

After learning about the "world upgrade," Li Wei realized how dangerous the collective unconscious of humanity was. Therefore, he was even less willing to cause trouble in the real world. If he was unlucky enough to cause the real world to "upgrade" and allow superhumans other than himself to appear in his backyard, that would be a real problem.

When it comes to anything in the real world, even things with low probability, Li Wei is unwilling to gamble, because he knows one thing: gamblers never have a good end, and they are especially prone to getting exactly what they fear.

That's why he can cause trouble in other worlds. If something goes wrong while he's causing trouble on someone else's turf, he can just walk away. But if something goes wrong in his own backyard, he'll have to rack his brains to find a solution.

Li Wei gently patted Shiina Aki's shoulder and said, "There's only one bathroom at Haruhara-sou. The girls will shower first, and then it'll be our turn to shower."

Shiina Aki nodded. Although it was uncomfortable to have sweat sticking to his skin, he felt he should show magnanimity in this regard. The girls could shower first; he could simply wait. Although he didn't like this arrangement, he felt he had to accept it so that Li Wei wouldn't dislike him.

Unbeknownst to Shiina Aki, Levi had completely read his memories and superficial thoughts. He had no secrets from Levi. Furthermore, Levi had disliked him from the beginning, so his pretense was useless. Even if he deliberately acted harmless, Levi wouldn't relent in his persecution.

Chapter 1. Every family has its own troubles.

After the girls finished eating the watermelon, they went to the bathroom. After arriving at Chunyuan Manor, Li Wei spent a lot of money on the renovation of the house. The old bathroom in Chunyuan Manor was demolished and rebuilt. Not only was the indoor area expanded, but the bathtub was also made two times bigger. Two or three people could sit in the bathtub at the same time without feeling crowded. So the three girls usually soaked in the bathtub, which saved a lot of time.

Li Wei entered the living room, where Ayaka Sunohara, who hadn't yet changed out of her martial arts uniform, was watching TV. When she saw Li Wei arrive, Ayaka Sunohara moved slightly to the side.

Li Wei sat down and said, "You've really worked hard these past few days. Do you find it more troublesome to manage Chunyuan Manor now?"

Haruhara Ayaka said, "The expanded Haruhara Manor is almost half the size of what it used to be, and there are many more places to manage. But this is a happy problem, because without your support, Li Weijun, I wouldn't have been able to start such a large-scale project with my own financial resources."

Ayaka Haruhara knew very well that renovating an old house like Haruhara-sou would cost a huge amount of money. Modifying the existing structural framework would cost even more than completely demolishing and rebuilding it. Moreover, in order to ensure that the people living here would not be affected too much, the house construction company hired by Li Wei adopted a phased renovation, which would cost even more money.

The student dormitory wasn't very profitable to begin with, and with her own financial resources, she simply couldn't afford such a large-scale renovation. She could only make repairs and patch things up as best she could. This old building, which was nearly ten years old, was already close to its limit because it was a wooden structure. If Li Wei didn't come up with a plan to renovate Chunyuan Manor, in a few more years, this overburdened old building would have to be completely demolished and rebuilt.

Rebuilding a new building no smaller than the original would cost around 20 million yuan, given current prices and labor costs. She couldn't come up with such a huge sum of money anytime soon.

Ayaka Haruhara was deeply grateful to Li Wei. Li Wei had changed her life, not only rescuing her from the clutches of human traffickers but also helping her complete the renovation of Haruhara Manor, saving her from having to close it down completely in a few years. These acts of kindness gradually fueled her growing affection for Li Wei, making it increasingly intense.

Li Wei sat down and said, "I really like it here, and besides, this is also helping you."

Haruhara Ayaka leaned on Li Wei's shoulder and said softly, "You have given me so much, so much that I cannot repay you with my own abilities. It is too heavy for me. I really don't know what else I can give you besides myself."

Li Wei placed his hand on Haruhara Ayaka's shoulder, gently taking her arm, and said, "I'm not helping you for your reward, but I must admit that I have very good feelings for you, the kind of feelings between a man and a woman."

Li Wei made no attempt to hide his feelings, because he knew that Haruhara Ayaka also had strong feelings for him. It was a two-way street, and as long as he was willing to break the ice, they could establish a relationship at any time.

Ayaka Haruhara felt a sweet warmth in her heart. To her, Li Wei was as important as family, and she had no intention of refusing to let their relationship progress further.

Looking at the adorable baby girl in his arms, Li Wei realized that this gentle and considerate girl was the ideal wife many men dreamed of. To be honest, many people watched the anime "Miss Haruhara Sou" specifically because of the lovely girl, Haruhara Ayaka. As for the cowardly male protagonist, Shiina Aki, many people were furious with him. A good girl like Haruhara Ayaka was simply not worthy of that androgynous good-for-nothing.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm always ready to meet your parents."

Sunohara Ayaka blushed; Li Wei's words could be described as an undisguised confession.

Haruhara Ayaka sighed and said, "Meeting the parents is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately, my parents died early in a plane crash. My sister and I were raised by our grandmother. However, even our grandmother passed away before the new year. Now, it's just my sister and me in our family."

Li Wei said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally brought up something that hurt you."

Haruhara Ayaka smiled and said, "I've already been saddened by such things. People always have to look forward, and I'm very happy now. The only thing I can't let go of now is my disobedient little sister."

Haruhara Ayaka felt a headache coming on when she thought of her younger sister, Haruhara Nana. Haruhara Nana, who was quite obedient during junior high school and even served as the student council president, started dressing more and more like a "gyaru" (gal) after entering high school.

Although Haruhara Nana is a girl with principles, she only dresses like a gyaru (a type of stunt girl) and doesn't actually mess around like a real gyaru, but she really dislikes that kind of gyaru style.

Haruhara Nana is already a high school student with her own judgment and preferences. As her older sister, she shouldn't interfere too much in her life. So, aside from occasionally making a few comments about her dressing up as a "gyaru" (a type of Japanese girl), she can't really do anything more about it.

Li Wei said, "Disobedient? Is it the start of your rebellious phase?"

Ayaka Haruhara said, "My younger sister, Nana Haruhara, used to be an obedient child, but after entering high school, she started dressing like a 'gyaru' (a type of stunt girl), acting all wild and unruly. Fortunately, she's not a real gyaru; she never goes to bars or nightclubs, and she doesn't have casual relationships with men. I can confirm that she's still the same person, just dressing like a gyaru. But dressing like a gyaru is itself sending out a dangerous message, like telling others, 'I'm a promiscuous woman, come and mess with me.' And with Tokyo being so chaotic these days, I'm afraid she'll encounter danger outside, so I asked her to move in, but she refuses."

Li Wei said, "She probably doesn't like being managed, which is why she doesn't want to come. However, Tokyo is so dangerous right now, it's best to let her come and stay with me. It's safer for her to stay by my side. If something happens to her living alone outside, it won't be good."

Ayaka Haruhara nodded. She was well aware of how chaotic Tokyo had been lately. When she went to the shopping street to buy groceries, a conflict broke out between two factions. Half of the shopping street was affected by the conflict and was mostly destroyed. Fortunately, the casualties were not too great, with only a dozen or so people injured and no ordinary people dying.

It's fair to say that there's no truly safe place in Tokyo anymore. Many of the powerful and wealthy have died or been injured. The upper echelons of Tokyo's society are now living in constant fear. Ordinary people have to make a living; they have no choice but to go out to work even knowing the danger. As for the powerful and wealthy, those who could have fled have already done so.

Chapter 4. Conflicts among young people

Ayaka Haruhara sighed inwardly, wondering how long this chaotic situation in Tokyo would last. In the past, the conflicts between the various forces had been relatively restrained, with each side trying to resolve the conflicts in places with fewer people. As a result, the casualties among ordinary people were not significant. Only a few extremely unlucky individuals were caught up in the chaos, and most ordinary people did not feel any changes around them.

The situation is different now. The conflicts between various forces are becoming more intense, and they even dare to fight directly in downtown areas, which will have a huge impact on the lives of ordinary people.

Just a few days ago, a ramen stall in a busy street in Shibuya was hit by a bomb from an unknown source. The entire ramen stall was blown to pieces on the spot, and the stall owner who was cooking ramen and the customers who were eating ramen died instantly. Everyone was blown to pieces, and body parts were scattered everywhere. The police tried to collect these fragments, but ultimately failed.

Only one person died directly, but the number of people injured by the shockwave of the explosion reached three digits, and the windows of the entire street were shattered. The shock from the loud noise and impact caused a chain of car accidents, which, although no one died, still resulted in injuries and more than ten cars were damaged.

Even the most resilient Japanese couldn't bear such a harsh environment. No one could accept the constant danger of walking on the street. So yesterday, protests broke out in Minato and Chiyoda wards. People protested the incompetence and inaction of the authorities. The marches were large, with more than 3,000 people participating.

As a native of Tokyo, Ayaka Haruhara inevitably possesses the characteristics of a typical Tokyo bourgeois, believing that it's better to mind your own business. However, the current situation has left many people with no way out.

Tokyo is currently attracting worldwide attention, and the Qin Secret Manual has become a popular topic of conversation. People outside of Tokyo can naturally talk about these things without worry, but for the natives of Tokyo and ordinary people from other places who make a living on this land, the situation is filled with anxiety.

Sunohara Ayaka said, "Shiina Aki has some problems. Yuzu and Yuri have both told me about it."

Li Wei asked, "What's the problem?"

Haruhara Ayaka said, "They said it was a personality issue, so I suppressed the matter. After all, we can't just let him leave Haruhara Manor because of something like this. Everything needs evidence; a few words can't prove anything."

Li Wei said, "Kids these days are very sensitive. I guess Yuri and the others have sensed something. As for me, I've seen all sorts of problematic people. In my opinion, apart from being a bit naive and liking to cheat, Shiina Aki doesn't have any major problems. I only target those who are truly wicked. It's perfectly normal for ordinary people to have some minor flaws."

Li Wei's words were quite insincere. He deeply disliked Shiina Aki, and Shiina Aki was indeed a very annoying person. It is said that children are blank sheets of paper, and what kind of person they become is ultimately determined by what adults paint on that sheet.

After reading Shiina Aki's memories, Li Wei also developed a negative impression of his family, because Shiina Aki's current wretched state was largely due to his family.

Shiina Aki's parents didn't care much about him; they just made sure he had money to spend and could afford to go to school. They focused their energy on his more outstanding older sister, Shiina Mari.

To be honest, this surprised Li Wei quite a bit. After all, Japan is still a country with a strong preference for sons over daughters. But in the Shiina family, it's the other way around. As the older sister, Shiina Mari is more loved by her parents. However, this is probably related to the fact that Shiina Mari has excellent overall qualities and her personal abilities are far superior to Shiina Aki's.

In Shiina Aki's memories, Li Wei saw information about Shiina Mari. Shiina Mari was a beautiful silver-haired girl with a lovely appearance and a charming demeanor. She was very popular at school and could be considered a perfect girl by outsiders.

However, this seemingly perfect girl also has a morbid side: her boundless doting on her younger brother and her excessive desire to control him—these are her abnormal traits. But geniuses are often eccentric, and in Li Wei's view, Shiina Mari's quirks aren't a big problem. After all, even he himself is seen as an oddball by outsiders; talented people are often viewed as freaks, which is quite normal.

As an only child, Li Wei has never experienced what it's like to have siblings. He's someone who hates trouble, so he probably thinks siblings would be quite a hassle. He prefers to be alone and feel more free.

Sunohara Ayaka said, "Aki-kun and Yuri and the others don't seem to get along very well. I hope they can get along better. Right now, we can suppress the problem, but problems are meant to be solved, not suppressed. Suppressing them will only cause problems sooner or later."

Li Wei said, "I will try to solve the problem. I will take some time to understand the situation and see if I can resolve the prejudices between us. Actually, we are all good kids."

Ayaka Haruhara gave a soft "hmm".

At this moment, the three girls had already come out of the bathroom. Since there were more than just girls in the dormitory, the three of them dressed neatly after taking a shower to ensure that they would not be exposed.

Shiina Aki met the three girls at the bathroom door. After exchanging somewhat awkward greetings, Shiina Aki took her change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

Shiina Aki sighed, feeling the steam rising from the room. At home, because not many people used the bathroom, he was always the first to use it. The first person to use the bathroom didn't have to endure the rising heat.

He was already drenched in sweat and unbearably hot, and stepping into the bathroom, he was hit by a wave of heat, making him feel even hotter. This made him very unhappy. At home, because of his sister's protection and preferential treatment, he always got to enjoy everything first. This difference was something he wasn't used to.

Shiina Aki took off his clothes and put the clothes he needed to change into the laundry basket. Just as he was about to enter the inner room of the bathroom, something in the basket caught his eye.

Chapter. Making a big death

Shiina Aki swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on the bathroom door. After hesitating for a moment, she took out the "magical item" from the basket.

"This is underwear for girls other than my sister..." Shiina Aki held a pair of sky-blue shorts in her hand and examined them carefully. The shorts had very little fabric and were semi-transparent.

"Ha, this shameless style, I really don't know who has the nerve to wear such underwear, but... the smell..."

Shiina Aki held the shorts to her nose, took a deep breath, and simultaneously placed her hand down below. However, at that moment, the bathroom door opened, and the three girls stared at Shiina Aki holding the shorts, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.

Shiina Aki's face instantly turned bright red, and she said, "I was just packing my things!"

Yuzu Yukiko looked at the flustered Shiina Aki with undisguised disdain in her eyes and said, "Yes, yes, you're just packing your things, so could you put down what you're holding? This scene is just too much to bear."
