A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

The glow on the skin of an ordinary person is a pale white. If it is a strong, healthy man with abundant Yang energy, the glow on his skin will be a relatively bright white, but most people's glow is pale white.

If the aura on the body turns blue, it indicates that the person has been invaded by wind-evil. If the aura turns dirty green or yellowish-brown, it suggests a liver problem. Those practicing shamanism in the north, especially those who have entered the spiritual path, often experience instability in their "soul" because they frequently allow their "soul" to leave their body. If you have the opportunity to visit those practicing shamanism in the north, their aura is consistently dirty green or yellowish-brown, a sign that ordinary people have damaged their own foundation by using forbidden powers. These individuals generally suffer from mental and psychological problems, a manifestation of "damaged soul," which, in Western medical terms, is mental illness.

If the aura on a person's body turns red, it indicates damage to their mental state. This is common among so-called geniuses whose thinking is abnormally sharp. Besides those whose talents are used to their advantage, practitioners who have gone astray, and those who have achieved success in divination, also exhibit red auras. These individuals share a common trait: their thinking is so sharp that it's difficult for ordinary people to keep up. Because their brains are constantly in a state of high-intensity activity, continuously receiving external information, they cannot stop, thus damaging their mental state and leading to mental problems such as insomnia or irritability. They also tend to speak quickly and act decisively—the negative effects of a disrupted bodily balance.

As the saying goes, "Ten Qimen practitioners will go mad," because learning these forbidden skills damages their minds. Ordinary people have limits; it's enough to be an ordinary person. Trying to master power beyond one's own limits is tantamount to courting death.

Throughout history and across the world, there have been many people like this, but most of them met tragic ends. Therefore, as ordinary people, we should take this as a warning.

If a person's aura is yellow, they generally have spleen and stomach problems. If the aura is black, that's serious; such a person is either gravely ill or possessed by yin energy. Those near death will undergo a rapid process of transformation, losing their yin and yang energy. If you observe their aura at this time, you'll see the light gradually dim and turn grayish-black. However, such observation conditions are difficult for ordinary people to obtain, as outsiders are not allowed in intensive care units. Furthermore, those trained in Western medicine, due to their limited knowledge, are unable to detect such changes.

Li Wei recalled what his father had told him, and now it all made sense. Although he could be said to be far superior to his father in the application of Qi, his father's achievement as a mortal was still quite remarkable.

Li Wei reined in his erratic thoughts. When it came to matters of family, he couldn't remain calm as usual. After all, he wasn't an emotionless machine. Even with the power of gods and demons, he hadn't forgotten that he came from the life of a human being; he hadn't forgotten his roots.

Li Wei said, "Qianye, I definitely have to go back to China. If you can't go home, then come with me to Chongguo. Consider it a short trip."

Li Wei's suggestion surprised Jin Chengzhai Qianye, because going to Chongguo with Li Wei at this time felt a bit strange. After all, both sides were celebrating the New Year, and she was going home with Li Wei during the New Year. How would Li Wei's parents view her? She also didn't understand why Li Wei would make such a suggestion. Wasn't he afraid of being misunderstood by his parents?

Li Wei said, "To be honest, if my parents knew that I would bring such a cute girl home for the Chinese New Year, they would be overjoyed."

Although Li Wei has been handsome since childhood and has always been popular with women, he is too precocious and knows what he really wants, so there is no problem with early romance. Or rather, after experiencing the dimensional world too early, he no longer has much interest in ordinary three-dimensional women.

It was precisely because he was a long-time fan of the anime/manga world that Li Wei chose to study in Japan. If it weren't for nostalgia, who would choose to study in a place like Japan? Li Wei felt that his experience living in Japan was alright. Although the contrast with the anime/manga world was the biggest, at least he was here and could settle down. However, he could forget about getting citizenship; Japan was not worthy of someone of his Chinese descent.

Because Li Wei has always been relatively self-disciplined, his parents were somewhat anxious. However, they knew Li Wei's temperament and that forcing him to do something against his will would not yield good results, so they let him be.

Looking back now, Li Wei realizes he was quite willful. Recognizing his past mistakes is probably what maturity is all about.

Chapter 1. The Leisurely Group

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Is it appropriate for me to go with you? After all, this is the New Year, not any other time. If your aunt and uncle misunderstand, won't you be troubled?"

Jin Chengzhai Qianye felt a little uneasy. After all, in the current situation, Li Wei did not have romantic feelings for her. Their interactions were more like those of college classmates.

Li Wei said, "That's the difference between Chinese and Japanese people. Chinese people don't care so much about what others think. As for the older generation, many of them do live their whole lives according to other people's opinions, which is quite sad to be honest. But young people these days don't care so much. And even if they are talked about, so what? Anyway, I won't stay in China for long. Now my businesses are all here in Japan, so I naturally live here. Even if people are gossiping behind my back, so what? It won't affect me anyway."

Jincheng Qianye secretly admired Li Wei's courage. She couldn't do what Li Wei did. In Japan, in big cities, only the locals could feel the warmth of human connection. In Tokyo, as a lone wolf striving for her studies, she didn't need to consider others' opinions. But back in her hometown of Sapporo, it was different. Back home, for her parents' sake, she had to be mindful of her influence.

Neon's family relationships are very "plastic." As the only college student in the entire family, and a student at a prestigious university like Ocha Girls' Academy, her relatives outwardly express envy, but in reality, if anything happens to her, they are more gloating than outsiders.

In this respect, both China and Japan have something in common: within the family, each small family is competing with each other. It doesn't matter whether I'm doing well or not; what matters is that you can't do better than me.

That's why, before graduating smoothly, Jin Chengzhai Qianye didn't really want to go back to her hometown. Her parents understood her difficulties and didn't force her to go back. They just talked on the phone more often.

In Tokyo, Jincheng Saichiya has few friends besides Li Wei. For her, phone calls with her family are a very important way to maintain her mental health, and she can confide her troubles, which she cannot tell outsiders, to her parents.

However, now that she has Li Wei, she no longer feels lonely. She eats and lives well with Li Wei, and she feels that if she continues like this, she will soon start to gain weight.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "That's really enviable. I can't do that. My parents worked so hard to send me to university, and I can't let them down."

As the only child in her family, Jin Chengzhai Qianye received all of her parents' love, but also bore their expectations. Although her parents, considering her feelings, didn't say it aloud, she understood their hopes. It was precisely because of this that she was able to focus on her studies and ultimately gain admission to a top university. Therefore, she was unwilling to do anything that would bring shame to her parents, because such things often demeaned herself. Given a choice, there was no need to take the wrong path.

Li Wei said, "It's the same in Chong Kingdom. If you have the ability, everyone wants to bring honor to their ancestors. If you don't have the ability, then just be an ordinary person and don't bring shame to your ancestors and parents. So, Qianye, will you come back to Chong Kingdom with me for the New Year?"

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "I need to talk to my parents first. After all, the situation is a bit special right now, and they won't believe me if I just tell them directly. So I need a reasonable explanation."

Li Wei said, "If you need my help in this regard, just let me know."

“I can handle this myself,” Jinchengzhai Qianye quickly replied.

She didn't want her parents to know about her relationship with Li Wei too soon. After all, living together like this could easily lead the older generation to misunderstand, or rather, any normal person would easily misunderstand. However, her previous place was indeed unsafe, and finding a new place to live would be very troublesome. Staying with Li Wei, at least her safety was absolutely guaranteed.

Li Wei nodded. He hadn't officially started a relationship with Jin Chengzhai Qianye yet, so he wouldn't interfere too much in her life. After all, even married couples need to give each other some personal space. The closer you are at the beginning, the more you'll dislike each other later—that's human nature.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

However, Li Wei doesn't have such worries, because he has many companions on the floating island, just like an emperor, and can change companions every day, so he never gets tired of them.

After breakfast, Li Wei began his lazy days, turning the large TV in the living room into a game console screen. He took out his PS and started his journey of "God of War and His Husband-Raising Father".

Meanwhile, Jinchengzhai Qianye began to tidy up the house.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye looked at Li Wei, who was leaning against the lazy sofa and exuding the aura of a lazy person, put down the rag in his hand, and said, "Most college students are extremely busy at the end of the semester, but it seems that the two of us are a special case."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye has already submitted her assignment, the final assignment of each academic year, which is essentially a practical exam. Although her score hasn't been released yet, she's confident she'll get a high mark this time. Li Wei, on the other hand, participated in the school's public art exhibition. Those freshmen who can participate in such exhibitions are truly exceptional. In public, both she and Li Wei are quite conscious of their image, but at home, they don't care about such things.

Li Wei said, "Because I've already finished my final exams, and there's no homework during winter and summer breaks in college, after the exams I have plenty of free time. It feels like a waste not to use that time to play games."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Li Weijun, shouldn't you take this opportunity to further refine your painting skills?"

Li Wei, controlling a bald man with a thick beard, began fighting a monster and said, "As for painting skills, I usually practice at night. Because of my special constitution, I only need to sleep three hours a day to be full of energy, so I'm used to leaving many things for the night. Moreover, my mind is exceptionally sharp at night, and I benefit more from training various skills. The daytime is my rest time."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said in surprise, "No wonder you got up so early, Li Weijun. But is it really okay to only sleep for three hours a day?"

Chapter 1. Ordinary People's Rants

Li Wei said, "Actually, I really hate homework. I went to junior high and high school in China, specifically junior high in Japan. In Japan, they have a 'happy education' system; school ends at 3 PM, and the rest of the time is free for club activities, so students have a very rich school life. But it's different in China. Because there are so many students, everyone is incredibly focused on getting into good schools. All they do is study, study, study; there are practically no club activities. In Japan, school ends at 3 PM, but in China, it ends at 1:30 PM, and then evening self-study starts again at 1:30 PM and continues until 1:30 PM. Sigh… that's why I so long for that kind of school life in another dimension."

Let's not talk about the later ones. The later ones were completely hard-fought. If they didn't want to be eliminated by others, they could only desperately climb up and prove themselves with their academic performance.

However, the top students produced by this intense competition are all qualified engineers with undeniable learning abilities. But it is precisely because of this hellish experience, coupled with the even more extreme job market in China, that the saying "those who achieve academic success will find lucrative opportunities" applies. Those with talent and ability go abroad to compete with foreigners.

Those who lack the ability and can only stay in China continue to be exploited. The various situations in China perfectly illustrate Sartre's saying, "Hell is other people." Li Wei came to Japan to enjoy life because China was just too exploitative. Although he wasn't afraid of being exploited by others, he hated the atmosphere of being exploited to the extreme.

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Jin Chengzhai Qianye retorted, "Are the students of Chong Kingdom living in hell?!"

Li Wei said, "There are too many people. There's nothing we can do. Back in the day, Japan's 'dumpling era' was just like that. Now there are fewer people than before, and not many can roll any more. But now everyone's a big shot, so we're all just sitting around doing nothing."

Japan is indeed not as turbulent as it used to be, but these Japanese people who are living a good life have all learned to slack off. Most office workers can finish all their work in three or four hours, and spend the rest of the time just passing the time. It's not just frontline employees who do this, even middle-level managers are slacking off. It can be said that Japanese slackers are everywhere in Japan.

Of course, slacking off is a privilege reserved for regular employees. For temporary workers without formal jobs, would they dare to slack off? They would be fired in a heartbeat. In Japan, non-regular employees are mostly undignified people who can only put on a smiling face.

Jinchengzhai Qianye quickly tidied up the things on the coffee table and said, "But now the aging population in Japan is very serious. All the small cities outside the three major metropolitan areas are shrinking, and those once bustling villages have now become no-man's lands, enough to film a horror movie. Only a few decades have passed, and Japan has undergone such a huge change. It's really hard to know what to say."

Li Wei said, "For ordinary people like us, it's best to just watch the show. Anyway, it's not our place to worry about such things. There are always more solutions than problems, and we should trust in the wisdom of future generations."

Jinchengzhai Qianye wanted to complain in his heart. This kind of problem cannot be solved by the wisdom of future generations. If the current situation continues, the number of future generations will become smaller and smaller, and decline is inevitable.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Ordinary people like us don't need to look too far ahead. After all, we are just dust in the annals of history."

Li Wei and Jin Chengzhai Qianye both wanted to complain. The current social environment is full of malice towards young people. Young people are like newbies who have just left the newbie village. Their own level is only ten, but they have to challenge all kinds of BOSSes that are over level 100. Any young person with a normal brain would try to get out of this kind of garbage game. If they really can't get out, they will just give up.

In recent years, with changes in the international environment and the worsening situation brought about by the economic crisis, life has become increasingly difficult for young people, so more and more young people are giving up, which is considered a major trend in the future.

After saving his game, Li Wei closed it, pulled two Switch consoles from the cabinet, and said, "Why bother with housework at a time like this? Let's get up and play Mario Kart!"

Jinchengzhai Qianye looked at the two game consoles in Li Wei's hands and asked in surprise, "I got one too?"

Li Wei said, "The second one is a backup machine, which can temporarily take over if the machine being used breaks down. Right now, it's perfect for playing two-player online games."

Li Wei handed the game console to Jin Chengzhai Qianye and said, "Life requires a balance of work and rest. Staying on edge for too long can cause problems. So, appropriate entertainment can help you relax. Nintendo games are quite good at this."

The Switch console itself isn't particularly powerful, but Nintendo's game development capabilities have kept pace, resulting in a variety of titles that match the console's maximum performance, and these titles are all considered excellent.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye sighed and said, "If I become a useless shut-in girl addicted to games, it will definitely be your responsibility, Li Weijun."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Then let's just stay home together. I don't have any ambitions. I'm happy to be a homebody for the rest of my life. The reason I came to Japan to study is to be an unruly NEET."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "NEETs are at the bottom of the social hierarchy in Japan. If people knew that the genius oil painter who was able to participate in the Tokyo University of the Arts exhibition before even completing his graduation work was a shut-in NEET, I bet many would be shocked."

Li Wei laughed and said, "So what? I am who I am, and I won't change because of what others say. If that were the case, I could openly be a good-for-nothing freeloader."

Li Wei sprawled on the lazy sand in a Ge You-esque slouch, but even in this lazy, parasitic pose, he was still incredibly charming from a woman's perspective. Moreover, Jin Chengzhai Qianye knew that Li Wei only looked like a parasitic; there was no parasitic person in the world as capable as Li Wei.

“Then teach me how to play the game, Li Weijun,” Jin Chengzhai Qianye said with a smile.

Jinchengzhai Qianye felt that he should delve deeper into Livy's world, and games were the best way to increase his understanding of Livy.

Chapter 1. Can women be compared to games?

Jinchengzhai Qianye put down the rag in her hand and sat down next to Li Wei. Under Li Wei's guidance, she quickly learned how to operate the Switch game console. This kind of small game console is not difficult to learn, and for someone with a strong learning ability like her, there is no such thing as difficulty in learning.

However, most competitive games have a certain barrier to entry. Although Mario Kart's barrier to entry isn't high, it still exists. When two people team up online, it's basically Li Wei carrying Jinchengzhai Qianye, relying on Li Wei's strength to achieve victory.

Jinchengzhai Qianye, with his good learning ability, had become familiar with various operations in less than ten minutes. Although he was not yet familiar with shortcuts and the use of some props, he was still better than the average novice.

"I think I know why so many people are addicted to games now. This kind of positive feedback is hard to get in real life," Jin Chengzhai Qianye said with a sigh.

Li Wei said, "Yes, because games give you clear goals, and players just need to follow those goals. If the real world were a game, it would certainly offer enough freedom, but it would also cause many players to lose sight of their goals and not know what to do. Moreover, fairness would be a major issue. In comparison, games with clear goals are more likely to win over players."

Li Wei has done outsourced illustration projects for many game companies, which has also established information exchange channels with the internal staff of game companies. He would often hear those veteran game developers complaining, so he has a certain understanding of the game development industry. In order to get better feedback from players, the development team can be said to have used all their skills.

Some women have complained that men would rather play games than pursue girls, but honestly, how many women in the real world can compare to those in games?

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Actually, there are also many girls in Japan who are addicted to games. It's just that the types of games that men and women play are different. For example, galgames are divided into male-oriented and female-oriented games. Moreover, female-oriented games, such as dress-up and dance games, are quite popular in Japan."

"I didn't expect you to know these things," Li Wei said with a smile.

"There's nothing we can do about it. People who study applied economics can't avoid learning about all sorts of money-related things. My teacher talked about the profit chain related to the game industry in class, so that's how I learned about these things. Studying theoretical economics can easily drive you crazy, but the applied economics I'm studying can be applied in real life, so it's less likely to make you stupid," Jin Chengzhai Qianye laughed.

When Jin Chengzhai Qianye first chose her major, she hesitated between two branches of economics. Theoretical economics had a higher potential for the future, and if she developed well, she might be able to enter a large financial institution and become a high-level executive.

However, applied economics has a more stable lower limit. Even if you can't get into those large financial institutions, you can still live a relatively decent life. But if you can't get into a large institution, it's very difficult to find a job outside of theoretical economics, because apart from those large institutions, there are almost no places that need this kind of pure theoretical work.

“That’s true. In fact, in my opinion, the theoretical part of economics, especially those mathematical models, is practically no different from metaphysics. It’s just that metaphysics doesn’t use science to beautify itself, while theoretical economics will put on a scientific cloak,” Li Wei said.

“That’s what I thought at first too. But after I actually started learning finance, I realized that pure theoretical finance is often no different from metaphysics. The assumption of an absolutely rational person is full of loopholes. No one can be absolutely rational, and life is bound to be full of unexpected events. It’s impossible for everything to go according to plan. So, pure theoretical finance is often just self-deception,” Jin Chengzhai Qianye said.

Although Jin Chengzhai Qianye is currently studying applied economics, which emphasizes practicality and universality, she also audits theoretical economics classes. Thanks to her decent learning ability, even though it's not her major and she's just auditing, she still learns something. However, this makes her feel even more that theoretical economics is often like shooting an arrow before drawing the target. Using such theories to predict stocks and funds is like driving while only looking in the rearview mirror. The thought of users entrusting their money to these charlatans to manage is truly absurd to her.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It seems that I am not the only one who thinks this way. Before entering university, I actually did a good job of understanding the various majors. Then I mentally marked some majors as 'crossed out'. Some majors are either about to be eliminated by history or are unreliable. Theoretical economics is one of the unreliable majors that ranks high on the list."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye felt as if she had met a kindred spirit. Before, she felt that there was no one around her who could understand her thoughts, which made her feel lonely. But after meeting Li Wei, she realized that there really are interesting people in the world.

In fact, what Jinchengzhai Qianye didn't know was that Li Wei had the same thoughts as her. He never imagined that he could meet someone as pure and innocent as Jinchengzhai Qianye, who was like a girl from another dimension, in the real world. Both of them felt very lucky.

Jincheng Sai Senya, who originally planned to thoroughly clean the house, ended up playing games with Li Wei all morning.
