Moreover, mangoes and dragon fruit are much more expensive than watermelons. In her opinion, this fruit platter should be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Li Wei said, "Is it a lot? I think it's alright, but the fruit here in Japan is indeed much more expensive than in South Korea. The agricultural protection law shifts all the costs onto consumers. Only a bizarre government like Japan could do something like this."

Compared to the Japanese, Chinese people are luckier in this regard. Apart from a few so-called "luxury fruits" that have been hyped up by a few people, the prices of most fruits are affordable for ordinary people.

For Japanese tourists visiting Okinawa, one of the must-do things is to eat a lot of watermelon. Although Okinawans might complain about this, for the Japanese, being able to freely enjoy the joy of watermelon is a luxury they can't experience in Japan.

In Japan, a regular watermelon can cost several thousand yen, which is equivalent to two or three hundred yuan. However, when Japanese people buy watermelons in Japan, even a super sweet watermelon weighing over 20 kilograms only costs a few dozen to 960 yen at its cheapest price. So don't think it's shameful for Japanese people to travel to Japan to eat watermelons; they're forced to.

Machida Sonoko laughed, "Because my dear is from Japan, she's used to the prices there. Prices here in Japan, especially for fruit, are ridiculously high. And everyone knows what kind of people the Japanese government is." Under Machida Sonoko's care, Hyodo Michi quickly integrated into the group.

Seeing the four girls getting along so well, Li Wei felt relieved and said, "You guys chat for a while. I'll go to my study to get busy. I'm almost finished with the second volume. After I finish writing it, I'll check it over and then start drawing illustrations. Sister Yuanzi, I'll have to ask you for help with the paperback review."

Machida Sonoko gave an OK sign and said with a smile, "Don't worry, dear, you're the backbone of the paperback now. As soon as you finish writing one volume, the paperback will immediately arrange for typesetting and printing. By the way, according to today's statistics, the first volume has already sold over 400,000 copies."

Li Wei nodded and went into the study, leaving only the girl chatting happily in the living room.

Chapter 119. Qualification

After Li Wei entered the study, with him no longer present and only the girl left in the living room, some topics became less formal.

Michiru Hyodo looked towards the study door and said to Sonoko Machida beside her, "Sonoko-nee, are you all really Li Wei-kun's girlfriends?"

“Do you really think this is a lie?” Machida Sonoko laughed.

"I can hardly believe it. After all, this isn't ancient times. Even in ancient times, only the rich and powerful could do something like this," said Michiru Hyodo.

Machida Sonoko gave him a look that said, "You don't understand. My dear, he's not just powerful and influential. In fact, there's almost nothing he can't do if he wants to. It's just that he has a few girlfriends like us, which isn't a big deal."

After learning about Li Wei's identity as an immortal, Machida Sonoko was no longer bothered by the fact that Li Wei had more than one woman. In her view, a powerful and special being like Li Wei could do much more with his power, and it wouldn't be strange if he secretly built his own economic empire.

Therefore, in Machida Sonoko's view, Li Wei's presence with a few more girls was already very restrained. With Li Wei's abilities, even if he wanted to hold a "concubine selection," no one could say anything.

In a country like Japan where money is everything, if Li Wei, who possesses extraordinary power, were unwilling to abide by the rules, he could legally amass a vast amount of wealth in a very short time without anyone noticing, and even seize power and secretly control the country.

It was precisely because Machida Sonoko knew what kind of power Li Wei possessed that she thought such a thing was normal. Not only did she have this thought, but Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi also thought so.

And to be more private, Li Wei is just too good in a certain area; if he only had one partner, it could lead to someone's death.

That's why having a companion who can "share the burden" isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as the companion's temper isn't so bad that they're difficult to get along with.

Michiru Hyodo, unaware of the implication in Sonoko Machida's words, asked curiously, "Does Li Wei-kun have any powerful or influential friends? Or is his network of connections extremely extensive?"

Machida Sonoko shook her head, picked up a watermelon and handed it to Hyodo Michiru, smiling, "My dear, he doesn't have many friends. In fact, most people aren't qualified to be his friends. I can't say too much about the specifics, please forgive me."

Michiru Hyodo's curiosity was piqued, but Sonoko Machida did not fully answer her questions. However, she did learn one thing: Li Wei was far more complex than she had imagined.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing nearby, said, "Michiru, you may not understand what I'm saying, but meeting our beloved is the greatest luck of our lives."

While Michiru Hyodo was still in shock, her doubts deepened. She admitted that Li Wei did indeed possess an extraordinary charm that could make any woman's heart flutter. Even now, her mind was filled with Li Wei's image and smile, and her heart could no longer accommodate any other man. However, the words of Kasumigaoka Utaha, this aloof beauty, seemed exaggerated to her.

A beauty like Kasumigaoka Utaha could easily attract a large number of men by simply waving her hand in public to indicate that she is currently single. However, this seemingly aloof beauty actually said something like that.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Hyodo Michiru's puzzled expression and simply smiled: "Michiru, you wouldn't understand. Only when my dear thinks you are qualified to know those things will you be qualified to enter this circle."

It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Because Kasumigaoka Utaha is one of Li Wei's partners, her parents also benefited. Li Wei secretly helped her parents upgrade their life level. Now her parents have a stronger physique and vitality than ordinary people. Even if she leaves this world with Li Wei in the future, her parents will be able to give her another brother or sister, or even more than one.

Kasumigaoka Utaha already knew that she and the others would be leaving this world, but the time was not yet right. According to Li Wei, they would be going to a fairy island located between many worlds, which would be their base.

The fairy island that connects many worlds could serve as a springboard for them to travel to other worlds, but Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't particularly interested in such things.

Now she possesses eternal beauty and an even longer lifespan, becoming a truly immortal being beyond human comprehension. Having obtained these things that ordinary people dream of, her desire for mundane things has been reduced to a minimum. She even lacks the motivation to continue writing light novels, since she knows she will leave this world sooner or later, so she might as well start enjoying life now.

It is precisely because of this that her new work has been delayed, and Machida Sonoko, who used to urge Kasumigaoka Utaha the most, no longer urges her to write a new book. She doesn't know when she will leave this world, so why bother with these things? Isn't it better to enjoy life?

Kasumigaoka Utaha observed Hyodo Michiru, and for some reason, she had a feeling that this slightly impulsive and energetic girl might become their new companion.

Seeing the mysterious expressions on the faces of the three people, Michiru Hyodo knew that even if she continued to ask, she probably wouldn't get any more information, so she didn't plan to ask any more questions.

(Good news from Nuo Wang)

Michiru Hyodo is a smart girl. She knows that it's best not to ask too many questions, lest she get herself involved in some strange things.

Although Li Wei held an extraordinary attraction for her, she harbored a deep concern that getting too close to him might lead to unexpected events, things that could even exceed her limits.

Meanwhile, Li Wei was immersing his mind in his divine consciousness, using his knowledge of architecture and landscape to carry out sweeping renovations on the small floating island.

However, the floating island's land area is simply too vast; its more than 300 square kilometers cannot be completely transformed in a short time. Therefore, Li Wei currently only plans to transform a portion of the area as a temporary palace for him and his confidantes, while the rest will be transformed into various strange and dreamlike natural landscapes.

Chapter 120. The Difficulty of Renting a Room

After Michiru Hyodo avoided the sensitive topic, the atmosphere of the conversation calmed down again. After no longer asking those sensitive questions, Michiru Hyodo turned to ask the three of them how they took care of themselves, but the answers she received were all extremely Versailles-like statements.

Michiru Hyodo secretly observed the three girls and was certain that none of them had any signs of plastic surgery. Their faces were very natural, and even the slightest expressions were so lively. They didn't look like people who had undergone plastic surgery, where even the smallest expressions would appear stiff.

As for their skin, Michiru Hyoudou could only helplessly admit that there really are naturally beautiful people in this world. The three girls' flawless skin couldn't be achieved with skincare products, and there were no traces of skincare products left on their skin. She could only feel envious and jealous of this.

When Li Wei came out of the study, it was already past ten o'clock at night. Looking at the clock on the wall, Hyodo Michiru let out a soft gasp. Usually, she would have been asleep by this time, but after meeting Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others, she got so engrossed in conversation that she forgot about the time.

"Is it already this late? This is the first time I've ever stayed up this late. I'm going to sleep now." Michiru Hyodo said.

Although Michiru Hyodo really wanted to take a shower, the three girls beside her had been chatting with her all this time and hadn't showered either. As a guest, she was aware that she couldn't possibly compete with the hostess for the bathroom at this time. So, even though she was still a little sweaty, she didn't plan to shower and would just go to sleep. She could always get up early tomorrow to shower.

Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed Hyodo Michiru's hand and pressed her down onto the sofa. Kasumigaoka Utaha's strength now surpassed that of an ordinary person, and Hyodo Michiru struggled twice but was unable to sit up.

"I'll prepare pajamas for you, and the guest room will be ready in a little while. Michiru, you should take a shower first, which will give me time to tidy up the room." Kasumigaoka Utaha revealed a gentle smile, a stark contrast to her previous aloofness, which made Hyodo Michiru stare at her somewhat infatuated.

Li Wei wasn't surprised by this lesbian-esque scene. After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha's charm appealed to both men and women. Even the previous yandere young lady was hopelessly infatuated with her. Not to mention that now that Kasumigaoka Utaha had undergone the skill feedback optimization, her charm had reached an even higher level. Even Hyodo Michiru, who was also a woman, would be affected by her allure.

"Hmm..." Michiru Hyodo responded softly, her face slightly flushed.

The next morning, Michiru Hyodo was woken up by Li Wei knocking on the door. When she heard the knocking, she picked up her phone, which was next to her pillow. It showed that it was already past eight o'clock.

After quickly tidying herself up, Michiru Hyoudou opened the door to her guest room.

Outside the door stood Li Wei, dressed in a bear-themed apron and a headscarf. Although he was dressed like a stay-at-home dad, his good looks still gave him extraordinary charm.

"How did you sleep last night?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

Michiru Hyoudou stretched like a cat, and said, "I've never slept so soundly before. Even though it's an unfamiliar place, I feel very at ease."

What Michiru Hyoudou didn't know was that her ability to rest so well was also related to Li Wei's renovation of the apartment. The apartment, imbued with spiritual energy, had become a paradise-like place, filled with rich spiritual energy. Living in such an environment, even an ordinary person could live to be a hundred years old and still be healthy and vigorous, with white hair and a youthful face that would not age (cgch).

When Michiru Hyodo arrived at the living room, she found that none of the others, including Utaha Kasumigaoka, were there.

"Aren't Yuanzi and the others up yet?" asked Hyoudou Michiru.

“They’ve been working all night and need to rest, so it’s normal for them to get up a little later. I’ve prepared a toothbrush and cup for you, and the white set on the shelf in the bathroom is yours. After breakfast, we’ll go out to find you a suitable place to stay,” Li Wei said.

"Oh." Michiru Hyodo probably guessed what had happened, but since Li Wei wasn't saying anything, it wasn't appropriate for her, as a girl, to ask such a question.

After washing up and having a hearty breakfast, Li Wei left the apartment with Meichiru Hyodo and headed to a nearby rental agency.

However, they spent most of the morning running around, visiting more than ten real estate agencies, but Michiru Hyoudou still couldn't find a place to rent.

The two sat on a bench by the roadside. Li Wei remained calm and composed, while Hyodo Michiru had her head down and looked somewhat discouraged.

"Don't be so discouraged. You've only visited a dozen or so places. Maybe the next one will work out," Li Wei comforted Hyodo Michiru.

"I've been to so many places, but to no avail. Even if I go to the next one, the result will probably be the same." Michiru Hyoudou sighed. The reason she couldn't find a place to rent was also related to her status as a student.

Although high school students can work outside, they cannot provide proof of stable income, nor do they have a guarantor. Although Li Wei is running around with her, the two are not related, and Li Wei himself is also a student, so he cannot act as a guarantor for Hyoudou Michiru.

The reason Li Wei was able to rent an apartment so smoothly was because he directly showed the other party his bank card with 20 million yuan in savings. The other party confirmed that he had more financial resources than the average person and was an exception, which is why he was able to rent a luxury apartment so easily.

For most ordinary people, renting a place is quite troublesome, since not everyone has the financial power like Li Wei.

Another major reason why Michiru Hyodo is having trouble renting a suitable apartment is her insufficient budget. Although she has several hundred thousand yen in cash thanks to Li Wei's support—a considerable sum for a high school student—it's important to remember that renting an apartment requires a deposit.

Chapter 121. Potential Danger

Because of her limited budget, Michiru Hyodo could only choose relatively inexpensive accommodations, and due to the price, she naturally couldn't have too many requirements for the environment.

Even so, she still didn't have enough money. If she couldn't find a suitable place to rent, she would have to stay overnight in a capsule hotel or internet cafe. However, capsule hotels and internet cafes were quite inconvenient, and there wasn't enough space for her to practice her instruments and sing.

The thought of the possible situation she might face gave Michiru Hyodo a headache.

At this moment, Li Wei's attention was not on the matter of Hyodo Michiru, but on other things.

Li Wei planned to contact the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop) and ask them to help him look up information about sailing from Bo Island.

When Li Wei first came to this world, his own strength was not as great as it is now. So at that time, he had not developed his own power organization. He had to do everything himself, or he would outsource everything to the Yorozuya organization and let them do the work.

Although the Yorozuya organization has a good reputation and is willing to take on any job as long as it is not illegal, and has a strong sense of confidentiality, there has never been a leak of secrets since its inception, some sensitive matters are ultimately not suitable to be handled by outsiders.

If he had an organization loyal to him, he could delegate many things to his subordinates, thus avoiding this trouble.

However, ensuring the absolute loyalty of the organization's members is not an easy task. After all, he doesn't have any high-tech brainwashing devices or supernatural powers like mind control. If he had such things, he wouldn't need to woo girls; he could just capture them and brainwash them.

Don't think that Li Wei is incapable of doing such shameless things. Paradox Interactive players are all Class A war criminals. You could say that Li Wei, freed from his shackles, is, to some extent, the embodiment of human malice. He possesses the power of the four evil gods of the Ronya Space, and is only one step away from reaching the level of DIO, becoming an evil being even more despicable than a frog's piss.

Your infamy is known from Ireland to the Khitan. This statement perfectly encapsulates Livy's character.

If there truly were a way to maintain absolute loyalty, Li Wei could "take off" in a very short time. Currently, although his development speed is not bad, it is still somewhat different from his own expectations.

The system does have items or abilities that can grant users the loyalty of others, but the exchange points required for these items and abilities are astronomical, far beyond what Li Wei can currently afford.

For example, the Mind Controller, which originates from the Red Alert universe, is a creation of Yuri's faction in the game. Yuri's faction is a massive military force that developed with the Mind Controller as its core technology.

The era in which the Mind Controller exists is not even close to the future, but exchanging a single Mind Controller requires two million points, and if it is the blueprint for manufacturing the Mind Controller, it requires five million points. This exorbitant price also extinguished Li Wei's plan to use brainwashing to expand his own power.

For Li Wei, loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty. He does not trust those so-called subordinates who are simply bound together by interests and fear. Therefore, even if he establishes his own organization, the number of members will not be large for a long time.
