A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

A flash of light, and the scenery before the girls had changed dramatically. In front of them was a quiet beach, and in the distance, they could see rolling hills with buildings, indicating a rather bustling small town. From this point, they could also see various small sailboats floating on the sea beyond the harbor.

Li Wei said, "Welcome to my sanctuary, the last refuge for all sorts of homeless scum."

Ayaka Haruhara asked in confusion, "A shelter?"

Li Wei said, "That's right. This place was originally built as a refuge, but after development, it has become more and more complete. So, it feels more like a secluded resort than a refuge."

Haruhara Nana shaded her eyes with her hand as she gazed at the distant scenery. The view here was breathtakingly beautiful, as if filtered through a saturation filter, and everything seemed so dreamlike.

"Wow, this place is huge!" said Nana Haruhara.

Li Wei said, "This is a small world that can grow along with my personal strength. Compared to the beginning, its volume has expanded several times. Now it has more than a thousand square kilometers of land, enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to live a self-sufficient life here."

Li Wei continued, "The residents here come from very diverse backgrounds. Some migrated here because their own worlds had collapsed and their planets had died. Others were persecuted and could no longer stay in their original worlds, so they had to leave with me. Still others were even more unfortunate, living ordinary lives in their own worlds, only to be treated as playthings by higher beings and thrown into the hellish interdimensional space battlefield. Only a few survivors were able to survive. I was also caught up in the chaos, so I happened to save some of the lucky unlucky ones. It can be said that most of the residents here have their own reasons or causes for coming here."

Suijin exclaimed, "This is truly fantastical. But then again, the collapse of civilization and the death of a planet... isn't that a bit too exaggerated? What could possibly cause such a thing?"

Li Wei said, "You guys should know what zombies are, right?"

The girls all nodded.

Li Wei continued, "That explains it. For some unknown reason, Earth in that world experienced a biohazard crisis, with large numbers of zombies appearing simultaneously around the globe. It was these undead beings that brought the entire human civilization to a standstill, creating chaos in the apocalypse. The vast majority of people were unable to survive."

Li Wei's words silenced the girls. After all, compared to those unlucky ones, they were already very fortunate to have entered this world with Li Wei.

Li Wei said, "Next, I need to arrange your accommodations first. Chun Yuan Manor was completely destroyed in the previous battle. But I will rebuild Chun Yuan Manor in this small world. In this world, there is no social pressure to survive. The supply of resources in this small world is unlimited. Even if everyone doesn't work, they can still have enough to live comfortably. So in this small world, you can follow your heart and live the life you want. I'll talk to you about this in detail later. Now, let's go to the city area and find a piece of land for you to rebuild Chun Yuan Manor."

........................

It took Li Wei some effort to settle the girls. When the girls saw the city, full of beautiful girls and not a single man, their jealousy was palpable from afar. Even a mature older sister like Haruhara Ayaka couldn't resist the temptation.

After rebuilding Chunyuan Manor, Li Wei was sexually assaulted by several girls. The girls vented their dissatisfaction in this way, and then Li Wei knocked them all out. After all, he was the King of the Crystal Palace who cultivated the "Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture". It was a pipe dream for a few girls to think they could drain his energy.

After physically persuading the girls, they finally calmed down and accepted the current situation. After spending a few days getting used to life in the small world, and confirming that the girls could survive independently, Li Wei left the floating island small world.

After returning to the world of "Miss Manager of Spring Garden Manor", Li Wei spent some time finding Shiina Aki's body, and then used a soul-summoning technique to find Shiina Aki's soul, creating a physical body for her to possess, thus temporarily reviving her.

What followed was when Li Wei went completely mad. After reviving Shiina Aki, he watched the entire anime series "The Manager of Haruen-sou". Without showing his face, he once again broke Shiina Aki's mentality and racked up another wave of points.

After squeezing all of Shiina Aki's usefulness out of him, Li Wei directly extracted his soul from his temporary body, gently blew on it, and the soul dissipated, leaving him no chance to be reborn.

After finishing all this, Li Wei left the border satisfied and returned to the real world.

At this moment, the real world was still in the dead of night. Although he had been in the world of "Miss Manager of Spring Garden Manor" for several months, Li Wei's sense of time was not disordered. He had surpassed ordinary people. Such problems that would trouble ordinary people were no longer a problem for him. Jet lag was not an issue for him.

Moreover, when he returned from that world, it was also night there, so he experienced no discomfort upon returning to the real world.

Not knowing what to do in the middle of the night, Li Wei opened World of Tanks, turned on a network accelerator, and began his journey to high blood pressure. Half an hour later, his blood pressure spiked, and he decisively shut down the game. That's just how this game is; playing it raises your blood pressure, but not playing it makes you miss it.

Bored, Li Wei created a puppet clone to catch up on anime, while he himself lay on the sofa in his study, using an accelerator to connect to PiliPili in China to see what interesting content was available. Watching anime was very convenient for Li Wei now, since he was in Japan and could watch whatever he wanted directly online, enjoying fresh content much faster than back home. However, this also made him prone to making mistakes when watching new anime.

So aside from watching anime, he prefers chatting with friends on PiliPili. However, now that IP addresses are displayed, his friends, seeing he's in Japan, often leave funny comments like "Come back soon, the village's got gold bars!" Considering the housing prices and living pressures in China, it's understandable that so many friends would leave such comments.

Some suggested that if Li Wei is in Japan, he could make some lifestyle vlogs to satisfy his fans' curiosity. After all, as an artist and content creator on PiliPipe, Li Wei has a certain level of fame. While his fanbase isn't exceptionally large, it's certainly substantial. Although he may not be among the top 100, his influence is much stronger than that of smaller content creators. Some people simply enjoy watching lifestyle-related content, and Li Wei was previously quite mysterious, which has fueled many people's curiosity about him.

To be honest, Li Wei found the suggestions from his friends quite interesting. Sharing one's life without exposing privacy is a fun thing to do. These days, the barrier to entry for content creators is getting lower and lower, but in Li Wei's opinion, it's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, everyone has the right to shine. Of course, whether or not one can shine depends on their ability.

Chapter 1. Returning to Old Habits

As for the content creator, Li Wei has been a creator since he released his first painting video on Abi. However, in the past few years, he has only created his own works and has never shown his face. Only people in the industry know what he looks like. Outside the industry, he has no fame whatsoever.

The more Li Wei thought about it, the more he felt that he could make some vlogs. After all, there's a saying that goes, "Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night."

Returning home in wealth and honor would actually be meaningless, since Li Wei's relatives are all decent people. If he were to show off in front of them, it would easily cause trouble for his parents. He wouldn't put his parents in a difficult position just for his own pleasure.

Therefore, making a presence online is a pretty good option. Li Wei thought about it and realized that he hadn't made any digital drawing videos for a while. Since he couldn't sleep anyway, he might as well pull out a picture and announce to his friends that he, Hu Hansan, was back.

After retrieving the puppet clone that was watching anime, Li Wei sat down in front of the computer, plugged in the graphics tablet, opened Photoshop and screen recording software, and began his exaggeratedly efficient drawing. Generally speaking, it would take an artist at least three to four hours to complete a painting while maintaining a high level of detail. However, Li Wei could finish it in under an hour. Now, he had compressed it to half an hour, and this half hour was not his limit, but only the limit of the software's response.

Li Wei's painting speed is so fast for a simple reason. First, he has already completed the composition in his mind, and he only needs to transfer the content in his mind to the external medium. Second, his hand is very steady and he will not draw crookedly or make mistakes, so he does not need to make corrections. Under such circumstances, the only thing that limits his painting speed, apart from the performance of the software, is the difficulty of the painting techniques used. The more complex the techniques required, the slower it will be to paint, but at his speed, it can't be much slower.

In just over half an hour, Li Wei had already finished the final product. Then came the post-production editing and music addition. These tasks were very simple for him; he had already reached the point where practice makes perfect. He completed the post-production work in just ten minutes and then uploaded his work to the backend upload channel, waiting for it to be uploaded.

The review process on the platform is faster now than before, but the review standards are getting stricter. Many old MMD videos with fan service content in the animation section are no longer valid, and most of the original creators and uploaders of those old MMD videos have also retired.

Videos in the drawing section, for example, are reviewed relatively quickly because the content isn't subject to much censorship, unless the creator is deliberately drawing something politically or sexually suggestive. However, Li Wei's work generally consists of concept art and high-resolution illustrations, which offer greater creative freedom and are less prone to censorship, unlike MMD videos, which are frequently rejected for editing.

About half an hour later, the video showed that the review was complete and the submission was successful. Seeing this, Li Wei rested his chin on his hand and started refreshing his comment section to see what kind of comments would appear.

Because he is a content creator in the art category, his backend always receives notifications. His old videos still get comments. Li Wei keeps the friendly ones, but if someone tries to cause trouble, he used to just flame them back. Now, he'll go after them through the internet.

[Holy crap! The pro seems to have remembered his old grudges; it's been half a year since his last video, and now he's updated during this hellish time!]

[If you've got the skills, show the brothers this—a lewd picture! Bang bang, I'll punch you twice!]

[The uploader is in Japan, I'm so envious! I'm taking the N exam now, and once I pass, I'll go find the uploader to meet up. (doge)]

[UP, please draw Keqing! Stop drawing Mai Shiranui all the time, it's getting tiresome. (Panda expression of boredom)]

[The uploader's Mai Shiranui and Chun-Li are the real gems! Curvy older sisters are the best! How about the uploader draws Tifa?]

Grandpa, the uploader you were concerned about has updated! I've cached the video and burned it for you!

Within minutes of the video's release, the number of comments below it had already exceeded one hundred. Li Wei himself only had less than one hundred thousand followers, so he found it incredible that he could generate such activity. After all, he had been slacking off for half a year. Logically speaking, half a year should be enough time for his friends to forget about him.

Li Wei was unaware of how special he was in the art section. Highly productive and high-quality art content creators could be counted on one hand, and he was one of them. Furthermore, the completion rate of his illustrations was terrifyingly high; for ordinary artists, it was simply a matter of burning through countless hours. If he didn't always include the drawing process in his videos, viewers wouldn't believe he could create such works in such a short time. It was precisely because of this "divine talent" that, although Li Wei hadn't posted any videos for half a year, the popularity he had accumulated remained—a truly solid and real following.

However, Li Wei has no intention of monetizing his popularity. He is not short of money now, and his purpose in making videos is very pure: to get positive feedback. As a wealthy man who is not short of money, he can improve the quality of his videos as much as possible and make them far superior to others. Moreover, he can no longer be confined to the painting section and can be a "free agent" who can make any type of video he wants. He doesn't rely on this for a living. That's how confident he is.

Li Wei created a clone to view comments and interact with friends, while his real body pulled a comic book from the bookshelf and began to slowly enjoy it under the bright light.

The comic Li Wei is currently reading is called "The Witch of Xiang," a very slow-paced and heartwarming modern fantasy work. The story is about a witch hiding in modern society and living an interesting and heartwarming life. Stories like this are very suitable for those whose spirits have been tormented by dark and tragic works.

Feeling hurt by Made in Abyss? Come on, get up and watch Sho no Witch, and see the interesting daily life of a witch and ordinary people.

As for the "Sho's Witch" manga, Li Wei has already read it many times, but this kind of heartwarming slice-of-life fantasy manga is so captivating that he never gets tired of it. It has to be said that the person who can create such a work must be a very gentle person, because if they weren't gentle enough, they wouldn't be able to create a work that can make even a grown man smile like an auntie.

Meanwhile, the puppet clone was monitoring the comment section, which was generally quite pleasant. The art section was one of the few areas with relatively little arguing, unlike the neighboring music, dance, and animation sections, which were notorious for their contentious arguments. The dance section, in particular, was a mess, with little girls scheming and plotting like in a palace drama, complete with lackeys cheering and licking boots. Li Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud watching this. As a comedian, the internet truly provided him with endless amusement, because it contained all sorts of strange creatures, and these strange creatures were his greatest source of joy.

Chapter 1. Morning

Of course, the puppet clone monitoring the video comment section also noticed some discordant comments.

[Drawing so quickly, it's probably done with AI, and then claiming it as their own work. Furthermore, the content of the drawing is a misinterpretation of our traditional culture. I think this content creator is a cultural spy.]

The puppet clone raised an eyebrow, while Li Wei's main body already knew that the location-finding spell was activated. Now, relying on electronic information media, he could also locate people. As long as there was information, no one could escape his location.

Instantly, Li Wei located the netizen who sent the message. The IP address showed that the person was from Taiwan, and they were indeed on the island of Taiwan.

In front of the computer screen, a thin young man was leaning back in an ergonomic chair. On the computer desk were empty food packaging bags and wrappers from fast food.

Without hesitation, Li Wei shoved a large fist into the young man's face. The young man, who was frantically typing on his keyboard and arguing with netizens, had half of his face swell up, and several teeth were knocked out.

Li Wei withdrew his hand that had passed through the spatial passage, gently knocking out a few of the opponent's teeth without killing them. This required a high level of control over his strength; if he hadn't controlled his strength properly, the opponent's head would have been severed.

Such individuals are a minority; it's normal for people to vent their inner darkness online. However, Li Wei won't tolerate such things passively. While he's not as unrestrained as his "ancestors," he will punish those who cross him, like he did just now, giving them a good dressing down through the screen.

A random netizen who was intensely battling the young man online suddenly became excited when he noticed his opponent had stopped talking. Defeating someone online with words was an exciting thing, but little did he know that his opponent was lying on the ground, in too much pain to get up, and naturally had no energy to continue the battle.

Completely wide awake, Li Wei, seeing that dawn was approaching, simply got up to prepare breakfast. When Jin Chengzhai Qianye got up, he saw Li Wei sitting cross-legged on the balcony, his mind turned to the sky.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye came to the balcony and looked at Li Wei, who was meditating with his eyes closed and had a peaceful expression with a hint of a smile. She sighed inwardly, thinking that this man was too handsome.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye did not intend to disturb Li Wei. She did not know what Li Wei was doing, but not disturbing what others were doing was the most basic courtesy.

Just as Jin Chengzhai Qianye was quietly preparing to return to his room, he heard Li Wei's words.

"You got up pretty early today. Breakfast is already prepared and placed in the dining room. You can eat it without heating it up." Li Wei opened his eyes, turned his head and smiled.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Thanks, but Li Weijun, what are you doing? It looks like Buddhist meditation, and it also looks a bit like Shinto meditation."

Li Wei stood up, dusted off his trousers, and laughed, "It's just a simple Taoist meditation technique."

Jinchengzhai Qianye showed a puzzled expression. Although she had a certain understanding of Chongguo, she was not familiar with folk religion. So when Li Wei mentioned "Taoism", she showed a puzzled expression.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "I didn't expect you, Li Weijun, to have an interest in folk customs. Li Weijun, do you have any research on the occult?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "A little bit, I guess. I have a wide range of interests. Except for the most specialized and the most obscure ones, I know a little about most of them."

For ordinary people, limited by their own learning ability and energy, it is already very difficult to master a skill in one lifetime. Li Wei has also surpassed the limits of ordinary people, which is why he is able to be versatile. However, his talents are also limited to a certain range. He is not very good at subjects such as chemistry and mechanics, or rather, he is too lazy to spend too much time on them because he has little interest in them. He can achieve his goal by simply using magic to "think" and that's why he has not deliberately studied them in depth.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye sat down by the French windows and said, "I see that you, Li Weijun, are cultivating very diligently. In this world, are there really people who have obtained magical powers? Some so-called masters claim to have magical abilities, but in the end, they are exposed as just magicians. To be honest, I'm quite interested in witnessing real magical power."

Li Wei could understand Jin Chengzhai Qianye's mentality. Most people are like that; they are instinctively curious about the mysterious and unknown, but when they actually encounter mysterious forces, they will also feel fear. The so-called "Lord Ye's love of dragons" describes this situation.

Li Wei said, "Real magical powers are not so fun. After encountering certain mysterious powers, ordinary people will instinctively avoid similar situations. However, in cities with high population density, mysterious powers are generally not easy to find."

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Jin Chengzhai Qianye laughed and said, "Hearing you say that, Li Weijun, it seems like these magical things really exist in the world."

Li Wei brought breakfast to the tall, round table on the balcony and pulled a chair in front of it. The two sat down and began to enjoy their breakfast.

Li Wei said, "As for magical powers, only a very few people with great courage can control them. Ordinary people can master some extraordinary abilities through hard work and cultivation. However, some people are afraid of their own power and will never use it again after using it twice, such as the Yin-Yang Eyes."

Jinchengzhai Qianye showed a surprised expression. Her conversation with Li Wei was meant to be joking. She didn't expect Li Wei to mention the existence of the Yin-Yang Eye. As a Japanese person, especially someone who had studied folklore, how could she not know what the so-called "Yin-Yang Eye" was?

.........

Surprised, Jin Chengzhai Qianye forgot to put the food in his mouth.

Coming to her senses, she quickly asked, "Are there really ghosts and monsters in this world?"

Li Wei said, "Indeed, there are some, but not many. Times have changed. As humanity's footprint expands, the living space for all sorts of strange beings has been compressed."

There are also things in the real world that cannot be explained by current science. Half-baked materialists will directly deny the existence of these things and use scientific theories to reinforce their own knowledge, telling themselves that those things do not exist, thereby denying certain things that actually exist in order to avoid the collapse of their worldview.

However, science is a methodology, a tool, and a ladder for humanity to understand the unknown. True researchers, when encountering unknown existences or phenomena, will never rush to deny their existence. Instead, they will study them with curiosity and let facts and research speak for themselves.
