A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei laughed and said, "I want to take you to a place where there is nowhere to stay here. So why don't I build you a place to stay?"

Li Wei, along with Eriri and Sayuri Sawamura, found a secluded spot and dragged their spiritual bodies into the small floating island within his consciousness.

Eriri and Sayuri Sawamura were stunned by the breathtaking scenery and the massive, ancient-looking architectural complex before them.

"Where am I?" Eriri asked curiously, finding herself floating in mid-air like a ghost.

Not only Eriri looked surprised, but even Sayuri Sawamura seemed to have forgotten her sadness, immersing herself in the magnificent and exquisite scenery.

“This is my sea of ​​consciousness. We are entering here in the form of spiritual beings, so we can fly freely. If we were to enter here in our physical bodies, I could fly, but Eriri and your aunt would have to stand on solid ground,” Li Wei said.

Eriri and Sayuri both knew that Li Wei was a truly capable extraordinary cultivator, but neither of them expected that Li Wei would actually have the power to create a world.

Sawamura Sayuri thought to herself, "No wonder Li Wei is not afraid to be enemies with those chaebols. With such a world, Li Wei can attack or defend at will, and always maintain the initiative. Those chaebols are just ordinary people. How can they fight against Li Wei?"

Knowing that her revenge was within reach, Sayuri Sawamura regained some of her energy and spirit.

The three people flew on the floating island, exploring everything on the ground, until they reached the edge of the floating island and stopped in front of the boundless sea of ​​clouds.

Li Wei explained, "This floating island will continue to grow. Right now it's only 300 square kilometers in size, but as my strength increases, it will also grow. Maybe it will become larger than the entire land area of ​​the Earth."

Li Wei wasn't just bragging; the floating island in the square inch truly had such potential. Li Wei was even a little afraid that his sea of ​​consciousness would eventually be unable to contain this behemoth, to the point that he would have to move it out of his sea of ​​consciousness and settle it in another world as his "V-master base" world.

But for now, carrying the floating island around isn't a problem. The floating island hasn't fully matured yet, and Li Wei has only just embarked on the path of cultivation; his future is bright. Li Wei smiled at the two of them, "This place can be a safe haven for Eriri and Auntie. No one can harm you." "Li Wei-kun..." Eriri's face flushed red; she was clearly excited. She hadn't expected her beloved to possess such extraordinary abilities.

(Good news from Nuo Wang)

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and Eriri and Sayuri felt their bodies being stimulated by the outside world.

“Now we are physically entering this small world,” Li Wei said with a smile.

As the three of them slowly descended, Eriri and Sayuri were able to perceive everything in this world more clearly, unlike simple spiritual beings who could only see and hear.

Feeling the sweet fragrance of the breeze brushing against her cheeks, Sayuri Sawamura took a deep breath unconsciously. The spiritually rich environment made her feel incredibly good, as if she had never felt so comfortable before.

The three landed and walked along the main road between the buildings. This small world, though beautiful, lacked human presence. If Eriri and Sayuri hadn't been with Li Wei, they might have been startled if they had entered rashly.

Chapter 125. Paradox Interactive Players' Vicious Spells

After touring the floating island, Li Wei led the two out of the sea of ​​consciousness. Due to the time difference between inside and outside, what seemed like half a day inside was actually only a few seconds outside.

The floating island was so huge that the three of them had only explored a small part of Li Weixiu's "Kingdom of Women".

Eriri and Sayuri are, after all, mortal beings. After traveling for so long, they naturally need to rest. So Li Wei brought them out and made a promise to visit the floating island later.

Back at his apartment, it was still early and he was home alone. So, Li Wei began to browse the data on the USB drive he had taken from Eriri's house. It contained all the important information passed back by the family's intelligence agents.

After obtaining all the intelligence networks of the Sawamura and Spencer families, Li Wei suddenly felt like he was playing an RTS game with a full map view. Things and details that he didn't understand before suddenly connected, and his brain, which was far beyond that of ordinary people, began to analyze the situation and quickly sorted out the various fragmented information.

“It’s not difficult to avenge Eriri, but I can’t get too involved in this matter to avoid unnecessary trouble. After settling things at the port of Hashima, I’ll eliminate all of Eriri’s enemies.” Li Wei made his decision.

The phone on the table rang. It was someone from the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop). They had collected a lot of information about the Bojima siblings and had sent it to Li Wei's email. All Li Wei needed to do was check it.

He turned on his computer and received the files in his email. The information that Yorozuya could find wasn't particularly detailed, at least compared to the information Li Wei knew from the original anime storyline. There were some things missing, but this couldn't be blamed on Yorozuya. After all, they weren't professional intelligence personnel. The level of intelligence they had was enough for Li Wei to quickly take over Po Island and set sail.

Unlike his previous slow strategy against Kasumigaoka Utaha and Machida Sonoko, Li Wei plans to launch a fast attack against Hashima Izumi. He will stage a play to take down Hashima Izumi and inflict the deepest pain on Aki Tomoya.

"Fortunately, I am now strong enough to direct and act on my own. So, who will be the lucky one to become my puppet?" Li Wei revealed a wicked smile.

As his understanding of the thought circuit (cgch) deepened, Li Wei used the methods recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Bible to develop a vicious spell for possessing the consciousness of others.

The purpose of creating this spell is simple: to use a pseudonym to deal with some problems that are difficult for Li Wei to handle openly.

This spell has no cost in using it, but when using it, controlling the puppet will occupy a thought circuit, which is equivalent to an alternative, beggar's version of "external avatar".

However, while an avatar is a part of oneself, this spell selects a target and erases its consciousness. After "formatting" the target's soul, it uses its own thought process to usurp the target's identity and memories, turning the target into its own avatar.

This kind of evil magic would only make most people feel terrified, but Paradox Interactive players like Li Wei would complain that this magic requires mental processing and cannot control hundreds or thousands of puppets at the same time.

Since he can't win through sheer numbers, the selection of targets for manipulation needs careful consideration. After all, occupying thought circuits also has a certain impact on Li Wei himself. He currently only has six thought circuits, and he can only allocate a maximum of three to create three different identities. Any more than that would affect his mental processing speed.

Therefore, the unfortunate soul who gets possessed should ideally be a yakuza member, a company president, or a powerful figure.

"It's still early, so I can take advantage of this free time to select a suitable target and strengthen the puppet. After all, if the opponent is too weak, the hero's prowess in rescuing the damsel in distress won't be highlighted," Li Wei muttered to himself.

With Eriri's intelligence network, Li Wei was able to contact the Sawamura family's intelligence personnel directly through special channels and obtain information on influential figures in Tokyo.

This document is extremely detailed, recording prominent figures from various traditional Chinese and aristocratic families, as well as newly emerging company owners, and ruthless figures and bigwigs in the underworld. The entire list contains information on more than a thousand people. If Li Wei's thinking speed were not fast enough, it would probably take him a whole day to read through this document.

Among thousands of potential targets, Li Wei chose only one person: a leader of an extreme sect and the founder of a cult. He was somewhat abnormal, and such a ruthless character, who seemed crazy to ordinary people, was perfect as a puppet.

Li Wei didn't plan to create too many aliases, because there was no need. Since he didn't intend to abide by the rules of the game, he didn't need a special money-making alias. After all, before leaving this world, Li Wei would use his abilities to amass a large amount of precious metals to take with him. Therefore, a money-making alias within the game's rules would only clutter his thought process and wouldn't be very efficient.

This world, devoid of supernatural powers, isn't worth Li Wei's time and effort. He'd be better off using that energy to rack up more points.

After sorting things out one by one, Li Wei made a simple schedule for himself. He glanced at the time displayed on the wall clock and saw that it was only a little past two in the afternoon. It was just the right time to take care of one of the tasks in his schedule.

After changing his clothes, Li Wei went out and headed to the address Aki Tomoya had given him, which was the location of Aki Tomoya's game studio. Using his flying ability, Li Wei arrived at the studio in Suginami Ward in less than a minute. The studio was a detached house that looked neither new nor old, and it shouldn't have been built for very long, no more than five years.

Choosing this kind of place as an office area means the environment won't be too bad, and the price won't be too expensive, making it a relatively cost-effective option.

Li Wei rang the doorbell at the gate outside the courtyard. After a short while, a middle-aged man with a stubble beard came out in flip-flops. He was wearing a simple t-shirt and shorts, looking somewhat unkempt, but that's how most people in this line of work are; they dress for comfort, and image is irrelevant.

Chapter 126. Scheming and plotting are the daily routine for Paradox Interactive players.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" The middle-aged man with a stubble beard looked tired, as if he hadn't slept well.

Li Wei observed the other person and noticed that this middle-aged man had quite a few occupational hazards. Not only did he have a certain degree of scoliosis, but there were also calluses on the middle finger of his right hand from holding a pen too hard. These were marks left by holding the pen too hard. Coupled with the other person's "cultivating immortality" expression, he was undoubtedly a painting enthusiast.

Li Wei took out the token that Aki Tomoya had given him and said, "Do you recognize this?"

“Yes, I know him. The producer just told us a couple of days ago that the boss would be coming to inspect the studio in the next few days. I presume you are the boss.” After seeing the token, the middle-aged man’s originally casual expression turned serious, like a corporate slave being randomly inspected.

Li Wei laughed and said, "There's no need to be so serious. I just took a quick look around and won't interfere with your work. After all, I'm not familiar with this project."

The middle-aged man stepped aside, opened the iron gate, and gestured for them to enter.

Li Wei nodded and walked to the front. After entering the room, Li Wei found that there were quite a few people there. Several artists were painting diligently, while the programmers were typing code, occasionally jumping to the visual interface to test dialogues and option branches.

The middle-aged man clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention, and said, "Everyone, look over here. This is the boss who funded the production of this game. He's here to inspect the studio."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Everyone, please don't mind my presence. I'm just here for a stroll. But now, I hope you can stop what you're doing and listen to me for a few words."

Hearing Li Wei's words, everyone who was busy with their work obediently stopped. After all, the boss who provided the money was the boss, and until the game was completed, the boss was the one who paid their wages. So, they should listen to the boss.

Li Wei said, "As you all know, the producer of this game didn't have enough money to complete it. He couldn't even pay the salaries of everyone here. I was the one supporting the producer behind the scenes. You might be wondering why I would give money to support his dream when we're not related. The reason is simple: he is my good friend."

When the staff present heard Li Wei's words, they thought he was just rich and willful. He was willing to put up 10 million yuan in the first phase for his friend's dream and was willing to add more funds later. They thought he was crazy.

Seeing that everyone was drawn to him, Li Wei knew that he had achieved his initial goal.

Li Wei continued, "I support his dream because I hope he can become an excellent game producer. But being a game producer is not easy. It's not like being an artist, programmer, or modeler, where you just need to do your job well. A producer is the core figure who coordinates the entire team and controls the overall direction of game development. You could even say they are the soul of a game."

Everyone nodded. They understood what Li Wei was talking about; after all, who among them wasn't a seasoned veteran in the industry?

It can be said that producers are the second most likely to go bald after programmers. If they encounter a team that is not well-coordinated, the chances of a producer having a heart attack are at least 20% higher than the average person.

Li Wei continued, "The producer position is very difficult to hold; one wrong move and you're out. So, I gave An Yi a chance, an opportunity to hone his skills, so he wouldn't be starting from scratch. However, I'm fully cooperating with him, giving him whatever he wants, which doesn't really help him develop much. Therefore, I hope everyone here can proactively create some trouble for him and give him a good challenge. After all, experiencing setbacks beforehand will prevent him from being caught off guard when similar situations arise in the future."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They understood Li Wei's good intentions and envied Aki Tomoya, the producer, for having such a close friend.

An artist raised his hand and said, "Boss, I have a question."

"Please speak," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Boss, you're putting us to test the producer's mentality and perseverance. What if he can't handle it, his mentality collapses, and he fires us?" the illustrator said. (Requesting flowers...)

This is a concern for everyone; no one would joke about their profession, since everyone relies on it for a living.

Li Wei said, "Don't worry, I certainly won't let you take such a risk for nothing. I can give each of you three months' salary as a bonus first. If you are fired because of this, I will give you another six months' salary and a six-month bonus as a bonus. How about that?"

Hearing Li Wei's words, everyone was tempted, and some even started planning how to manipulate Aki Tomoya's mindset. This was a mission carried out under orders, and a good job with no worries about the consequences.

In all their years in this industry, this was the first time they'd encountered a client like this. As staff, it was the first time they'd had the opportunity to so freely manipulate a producer's mindset; it was unheard of, a first for everyone. Li Wei said, "I know everyone has concerns, but we can sign an agreement. An agreement is legally binding, so you don't need to worry about me going back on my word. However, in addition to the revenue agreement, everyone will also need to sign a confidentiality agreement." The programmer said, "Boss, you're so generous! I'll sign!"

Seeing his employees being so cooperative, Li Wei felt gratified; they were all trying to make things difficult for Aki Tomoya.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Very good. I will bring the contract over the day after tomorrow. Everyone should keep it confidential, but if you leak the contract after it is signed, I will pursue legal action. You can write down the troubles you've caused An Yi-kun in electronic format and send it to me. I will give you a bonus based on your performance."

Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, he knew that his money power had successfully achieved a devastating victory.

Everyone's in this business to make money, and Li Wei gave them an opportunity to do so. Naturally, these employees betrayed Aki Tomoya so quickly. Because of Li Wei's deliberate misleading, these staff members genuinely believed that Li Wei was doing this for Aki Tomoya's sake, and therefore felt no guilt about doing it. Naturally, they agreed so readily.

Chapter 127. We Are All Riddlers

After dealing with the matter that had caused trouble for Aki Tomoya, Li Wei left the game studio. He immediately distributed cash to everyone, giving them their first bonus to put their minds at ease. He then contacted a law firm with which he had previously worked, asking them to draft two contracts according to his needs: a standard contract and a confidentiality agreement.

The law firm was also quite efficient, saying they could finish both agreements in one night.

Li Wei didn't care about this, as long as the agreement could be finalized. He wasn't in a hurry, but as a major client of the law firm, it was normal to receive certain preferential treatment.

What he needs to do now is to follow the list of information he obtained from Eriri's house and find the unfortunate guy he has already designated as a puppet, the one who is the leader of the Yakuza organization and also the leader of the "967" Harmony Cult.

The target's name is Chishima Kashiwa. According to the information, he is the heir to a family-run yakuza organization. He created the Harmony Cult to better benefit his yakuza organization. In his Harmony Cult, the other important figures are his henchmen, known in Japan as "younger brothers".

Shinjuku's Golden Street, a glittering and decadent street, is one of Japan's most notorious red-light districts, filled with nightclubs, brothels, and various bars, both legitimate and illegitimate. In addition, there are casinos and bathhouses; the entire area is a glittering den of iniquity, where money can buy a life of luxury.

This is a paradise for men, but it's not very friendly to ordinary people, because only those with money can be treated like royalty here; if you don't have money, you can only admire it from afar.

Li Wei had also been to Shinjuku Golden Street in the real world. The Golden Streets in both worlds were quite similar, except that Li Wei was there to participate in a class social event and was there as a supporting character.

In a sense, it was a "return to familiar territory." Li Wei was quite emotional, realizing that he was no longer the same person he used to be. If there were another social gathering, he would be the most dazzling protagonist, while the other men would always be relegated to supporting roles as long as he was there.
