Li Wei brought out the last dish from the kitchen and placed it on the table. He then untied his apron and said, "Alright, if you want to catch up, we can do that later. It's lunchtime now. Everyone, please sit down. I'll go call Alex and Aki-kun in."
The sumptuous lunch showcased Li Wei's culinary skills and versatility to everyone. As the weather grew hotter, everyone took a nap after lunch, even Shiina Aki got a chance to catch her breath and enjoy a ten-minute nap.
Chapter 1. The Rich Man's Big Toy
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun finally subsided a bit. Although it was still muggy, it was much cooler than at noon. The real cooling moment came after sunset, but by then, the motorcycle dealerships had closed.
Specialty stores selling large machinery like these don't operate 4 hours a day like convenience stores. Generally speaking, these kinds of stores will gradually close around 30 p.m.
Looking at the girl who was already prepared for the trip, Li Wei said, "It's just going out to buy a motorcycle, why are you all prepared to go?"
Because of the hot weather, the girls' outfits tended to be cool and refreshing, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
It has to be said that girls are more particular than men. Even when going out in such hot weather, they still want to dress themselves up in a glamorous way.
However, Li Wei also understood that the reason why the girls dressed up so beautifully was because they dressed up for him, and it was all for him to see. He quite enjoyed this treatment.
Haruhara Ayaka smiled and said, "During this period, everyone has been unable to go out freely, and staying at home is quite stifling. It's understandable that we want to go out for some fresh air."
Li Wei nodded and said, "That was my oversight. I didn't consider your feelings. Staying cooped up at home for a long time can really make people feel bored. Anyway, with me keeping an eye on things, you don't need to worry about safety."
The girls were quite excited. They hadn't been out for a while, and the farthest they had gone before was a shopping street that was only a 30-minute walk away.
Li Wei said, "Luckily, my pickup truck is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to fit so many people."
Levi's pickup truck is a large pickup truck that is out of place in Japan. Such a big guy is not comfortable to drive on the roads in Japan. After all, this kind of muscle car from America is best suited for the wide and rugged highways of North America. There are many places on the roads in Japan that this big guy cannot go.
However, this is actually quite suitable now, because the domestically produced family cars in Japan tend to be small in size, so the riding experience isn't very comfortable. With a larger car, including Levi and his 10 passengers, the riding experience is still quite good.
Li Wei opened the car door, and a wave of heat rushed out, the girls could all feel the power of the heat.
Ayaka Haruhara sighed, "This summer is exceptionally unbearable. I saw on TV that the entire Northern Hemisphere is currently experiencing a heatwave, and this abnormally high temperature is expected to continue into the 21st century. This is truly awful."
Li Wei simply smiled. While this world's Earth wasn't exactly plagued by natural disasters, it still suffered from numerous natural calamities. The biggest natural problem in this side world was extreme weather—winters were unbearably cold, and summers were unbearably hot. It was essentially an intensified version of the extreme weather in the real world. Right now, in Tokyo, the temperature had reached 4 degrees Celsius, and Japan was on the verge of a power crisis.
Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, there are all sorts of typhoons and floods. One can only say that people in this world lead "colorful" lives, with each day like a movie, full of excitement.
Li Wei said, "The car has air conditioning, just wait a moment."
Li Wei's large pickup truck is a product of magical modifications. It doesn't use fuel at all, but rather a mana storage tank. One refill is enough to make this behemoth circle the earth, making it almost a perpetual motion machine for ordinary people. And things like burning fuel and running the air conditioning are trivial matters for a mana-powered pickup truck, having no negative impact on its power or range.
"Alright, you can come up now. The temperature is set just right," Li Wei said.
Haruhara Nana exclaimed in surprise, "It's done so quickly? It's only been less than two minutes, and the car has cooled down already?"
Li Wei laughed and said, "I spent a lot of money modifying this thing. Now it's basically an armored vehicle disguised as a pickup truck. And the interior is equipped with all the features of a top-of-the-line luxury car. You'll see what it's like inside once you get on."
Ayaka Haruhara sat in the front passenger seat, while the other girls obediently sat in the back.
"Open the refrigerator," Li Wei said. The storage compartment between the driver and passenger seats was opened, revealing a small refrigerator containing more than a dozen cans of various kinds of iced drinks.
"Sun protection mode for both side windows, and anti-glare mode for the windshield," Li Wei continued. As he spoke, the side windows of the pickup truck began to change color, becoming darker, and the windshield also changed color slightly. The girls could all feel that the sunlight outside was not so glaring.
Haruhara Ayaka knew that Li Wei was a very wealthy tycoon, so she remained quite calm in the face of the current situation, while the other girls looked like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden.
Haruhara Nana touched the sofa she was sitting on and said, "Even though I'm sitting in a car, this sofa feels as comfortable as an electric massage chair."
Kazami Yuri said, "It really is! Sitting on it feels tingly and numb, like I'm getting a massage."
Li Wei said, "Because it's essentially a massage chair, just using the latest technology, it won't be as bulky as a traditional massage chair. After all, this vehicle is also a touring car, so we need to ensure comfort during the journey."
Kazami Yuri asked curiously, "How much did this car cost to make?"
Li Wei said, "From placing the order to completing the modification, it cost me about seven million US dollars, but it was worth it. This guy is very reliable, and he even helped me solve some problems that were difficult to sell."
The girls swallowed hard; none of them had expected that this big, ugly-cute-looking creature would be so expensive.
Li Wei simply smiled. In reality, this behemoth was a rare, one-of-a-kind item that money couldn't buy. After all, he couldn't possibly allow such a creation crafted with such exquisite techniques to leak out of the country. Compared to this pickup truck, the motorboats and yachts owned by the wealthy were utterly insignificant. A pickup truck capable of directly confronting strategic nuclear weapons—could ordinary motorboats and yachts compare? Li Wei didn't reveal the pickup truck's true capabilities because it was simply too terrifying, at least to ordinary people.
Chapter 1. Changes in Itself
Li Wei said, "It's ready. This time, it's to prepare a means of transportation for Cai Cai. It's also because Youzi and the others are too old to get a motorcycle driver's license. Otherwise, I would prepare one for each of you."
Yuzu Yukimoto exclaimed in surprise, "This costs a lot of money! I'll have to work for a long time to pay it off."
Li Wei said, "This is a gift for you, not a loan, so you don't need to return it. However, you are not old enough yet; you'll have to wait until you reach that age."
Haruhara Nana said, "It feels like what you said, Brother Li Wei, is saying that this chaos will be difficult to end in a short time."
Li Wei shifted the car into drive, and the adorably ugly pickup truck slowly drove out of the parking space and approached the inward-opening automatic door. As the pickup truck approached, the large iron door began to fold, making way for it.
Li Wei said, "No one can say for sure about these things. I hope the chaos will end tomorrow. Ideally, some bastard will take the book away from Tokyo and fight somewhere else, as long as he doesn't show up in front of me."
Haruhara Nana said, "I can sense that you really dislike things in the Otherworld, Brother Li Wei. You want to avoid everything there."
Li Wei said, "If you've ever been to that world, you'd know it's a twisted, inner society where ordinary people can't survive. It's an absurd place. It's a living hell that can turn normal people into madmen and perverts. Naturally, I hate that kind of filthy, stinking place."
There is indeed an inner world in this world, but it is not as exaggerated as the "inner world" constructed by Li Wei. In the original inner world of this world, although there are all kinds of crimes and chaos, everyone is just an ordinary person. The power they possess is limited. They are like rats that can only be killed in the gutter and dare not be exposed in the sunlight.
The "inner world" constructed by Li Wei is a lawless land overrun by monsters, an existence far superior to the native inner world.
As the concept of the "inner world" constructed by Li Wei becomes known to the high-level officials of various countries, information pollution starting from Li Wei has begun to pollute the world. As more and more people believe in the concept of the "inner world", sooner or later a similar entity to the "inner world" constructed by Li Wei will be born.
Even if Li Wei leaves this world by then, extraordinary individuals of his own will still emerge in this world. This is the terrifying aspect of information pollution.
Although Li Wei firmly believes that he is an ordinary person, his current status is extremely high, and his strength, if placed in the context of some classical mythologies, is already sufficient to assume the responsibilities of a "chief god".
After all, Li Wei was able to create countless puppet clones using his own puppet clone technique, which was an exaggerated feat, making him capable of supporting the entire pantheon on his own.
Furthermore, as his magical power and cultivation level increased, the difference between Li Wei and ordinary humans became increasingly significant. If Li Wei hadn't used his humanity to restrain himself, he might have developed a trace of divinity or demonic nature, becoming a god or demon and forgetting that he was a human being.
Having reached this level of power, even if Li Wei denies his divine or demonic identity and insists he is a human, his strength is undeniable. He can now use information to distort reality and achieve his desired effects. In a sense, Li Wei's ability to corrupt information is very similar to that of the evil gods in the Cthulhu Mythos. However, due to Li Wei's aesthetic sense, even those corrupted by the information he spreads only experience changes in power, appearance, and personality, unlike the evil gods of the Cthulhu pantheon who turn their corrupted beings into piles of "mosaics."
The pickup truck drove onto the main road, and Li Wei turned on the car's navigation system, following the route planned by the system towards the nearest motorcycle dealership.
The nearest motorcycle dealership is only about ten kilometers away. Pedestrians arrived at the dealership's parking lot in no time and filed off their motorcycles.
Haruhara Ayaka said, "I didn't expect there to be a parking lot here. It seems the owner of this store is a wealthy person."
In Japan, due to regulations, you must have a parking space to buy a car. Often, parking spaces are more expensive than cars. Of course, if you own a detached house, you can designate a specific parking space on your land, then report it to the relevant authorities. Once approved, you'll be eligible to buy a car.
Private parking spaces, if planned as individual dwellings, are relatively convenient. However, considering the area required for each parking space, the land price per unit area remains expensive. Wealthy individuals living in high-rise apartments, on the other hand, directly purchase parking spaces within underground parking garages, which are even more expensive.
That's why this dedicated parking lot, which isn't small and can accommodate more than ten family cars, surprised Ayaka Haruhara. Although this area isn't in the heart of Tokyo's bustling city center and isn't exactly prime real estate, the land prices are still quite high. Based on current land prices, the land for this parking lot is worth at least 70 to 10 million yen.
Li Wei said, "I came here first because there are parking spaces here, making it convenient to park this big guy. I hope we can find the model we need here so that everyone can go back sooner."
Because the weather outside was still very hot, people quickened their pace and entered the store. The bright and spacious store had a bit of a car dealership feel to it.
As pedestrians entered the store, a young woman dressed in a black suit, looking like a professional businesswoman, walked over. Although women are not uncommon in the workplace, they mostly appear in clerical roles. Women in sales positions are relatively rare, especially in mechanical products like motorcycles. There are even fewer women in sales because not many women are interested in mechanics, and selling mechanical products requires a deep understanding of the product's performance and specifications. Most women who are not good with mechanics and numbers cannot do this job.
"Hello, how can I help you?" the female salesperson asked respectfully in a soft voice with a professional smile.
Chapter 1. Vehicle
The girls all looked at Li Wei, since he was their true leader. So, when the female salesperson asked them a question, none of them rushed to speak.
Li Wei, who was skilled in mind reading, naturally knew about this situation and said without hesitation, "I need a small motorcycle for girls, with an engine displacement of around 100cc, preferably a pedal-powered type without gears suitable for girls."
The female saleswoman nodded and smiled, "Sir, please follow me."
Pedestrians followed the female salesperson to a side showroom. The large showroom contained all kinds of motorcycles, but the overall style of the motorcycles in this showroom was rather delicate, and most of them were small models designed for women.
Because women are not as strong as men, the most suitable type for them is the small type, which weighs less than 10 kilograms.
For example, the "cc" type of general-purpose motorcycle, which was very common in China in the past, generally weighs between 70 and 100 kilograms. Such a weight is somewhat unfriendly to women.
The female saleswoman smiled and asked, "Sir, how is the strength and stamina of women who ride motorcycles?"
Li Wei said to Haruhara Nana who was standing next to him, "Nana, this is the means of transportation you will be using. Tell me your requirements and conditions."
When Haruhara Nana heard Li Wei's words, she nodded and said, "I am stronger than most people my age, so as long as the weight of the motorcycle is less than 70 kilograms, I can easily pick it up after it has fallen over."
The female saleswoman looked at Haruhara Nana's curvaceous figure with a deep-seated envy in her eyes. Haruhara Nana had been exercising regularly, so there were some muscle lines visible on her body, which also showed that she was stronger than her peers.
The female marketer laughed and said, "If the weight limit is 70 kilograms or less, the selection range is much wider."
In Japan, motorcycle technology is incredibly diverse. In recent years, thanks to the application of new technologies and materials, a large number of new lightweight motorcycles have emerged, specifically targeting the female market.
Several manufacturers specializing in motorcycle technology have even reduced the weight of small motorcycles to an astonishing 30 kilograms. While maintaining lightweight construction, they have also ensured considerable stability and comfort. Motorcycles of this weight are generally easy for ordinary people to ride.
The data provided by Haruhara Nana offers a wide range of choices, with models under 70 kilograms available, catering to both performance-oriented and comfort-conscious buyers.
The female saleswoman smiled and said, "Miss, the motorcycles you need, these two rows all meet your requirements. The front row are standard segmented handlebar models, all with a maximum displacement of cc. The one on the left has a regular gear, while the others are all gearless handlebar-controlled throttle models. Our new models have very smooth throttle response, with very little jerking at low speeds. The second row are models up to cc, all gearless."
Haruhara Nana couldn't hide her excitement. She had long wanted her own motorcycle, and there were so many different styles of motorcycles here that she was almost overwhelmed.
She felt that every motorcycle here was great, and that's why she didn't know how to choose.
Haruhara Nana walked around the row of motorcycles twice before finally stopping in front of a blue scooter. She walked to the side of the scooter and examined it closely. A data sheet was hanging on the scooter, and she began to browse through its specifications.
"Can I try this one?" Nana Haruhara asked, pointing to the blue motorcycle.
Seeing Nana Haruhara's excited expression, the saleswoman knew that this deal was practically secured, and the price of the motorcycle would earn her a decent performance bonus.
The saleswoman smiled and said, "Of course, but this car hasn't been filled with fuel yet. I need to have a staff member come over. Could you please wait a moment?"
Haruhara Nana nodded. This motorcycle was the answer she chose after comparing many others. Both its performance and price were within her acceptable range, and at least for her personally, it was a relatively cost-effective option.
This blue motorcycle has a maximum speed of [speed limit] km/h, a range of [range] km on a full tank, and accelerates from 0 to top speed in just three seconds, making its power-to-weight ratio quite good. Furthermore, it utilizes new weight-reduction technology, resulting in a total weight of just over ten kilograms. Although it's slightly large for her, she's still growing, and it will fit perfectly in two or three years. After all, a motorcycle is a large item; with proper maintenance, it can last for seven years. Therefore, choosing a slightly larger model now ensures that it won't be too small once she's fully grown.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
As for the appearance of the motorcycles, all the motorcycles in this showroom look quite delicate and cute. Although they are not the cool style of motorcycles she wants, she can still accept them after looking at them for a while.
Li Wei glanced at the price tag on the handlebars: 100,000 Japanese yen. For this price, the performance of this motorcycle was already very good value for money. Haruhara Nana was carefully choosing her "little horse".
