A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

"Ha, that idiot, yeah, eating our dust. Idiot, yeah, doesn't understand, speed up! Idiot, yeah, doesn't understand, the road!" The young driver muttered to himself with great rhythm.

The young man in the passenger seat, covered in tattoos, held a beer in one hand and adjusted the car stereo volume with the other. As he turned the knob, the music blasted louder, the aggressive and flamboyant hip-hop rap turning the car into a frenzied nightclub. The girls in the back even started twisting and jumping. Their movements caused the car to wobble slightly, but BMWs are known for their weight, so the girls' "dance" didn't cause it to lose its balance.

Unbeknownst to the young man, a single origami crane landed steadily in front of the car's "shark fin" on the roof, and everything inside the car was under Li Wei's surveillance.

Chapter 1. Revenge Should Not Be Waited Until the Next Day

With both hands gripping the steering wheel, Li Wei tapped his fingers rhythmically on it. Right now, his mind was filled with the incredibly catchy rap of the guy who was rapping. To be honest, the young man's rap was kind of interesting, even though it was gangster-style and there wasn't a single clean word in his mouth. Li Wei didn't care about that, anyway, the other side was going to be in a pretty bad situation.

At that moment, inside the BMW that was using the card, the young driver felt as if the wheels had run over something. The right side of the car suddenly jumped up, and with that jump, the car crashed directly into the median strip, which was originally sturdy and was broken open.

The BMW crashed through the median strip and found itself on the opposite side of the road. Just then, a heavy-duty trailer truck, unable to brake in time, was already in front of them.

Amid screams from the passengers, a violent collision occurred in an instant. The heavy-duty trailer, unable to brake in time, crashed directly into the front of the BMW, which had suddenly appeared at an angle, instantly turning the small car into a pancake.

The BMW, almost torn apart, rolled across the road before crashing into the guardrail on the right and tumbling off the road. However, the area outside the road where the crash occurred was a steep slope. The BMW continued to roll down the slope before finally crashing into the valley below. Fortunately, the height difference between the valley floor and the road surface was not significant, only about ten meters, making the subsequent rescue relatively easy.

The driver was bleeding from his scalp and was trapped inside the car. Turning his head slightly, he saw that the entire back half of the vehicle had been crushed into a ball, and the people sitting in the back seat were unrecognizable. The pungent smell of blood was overwhelming.

In the passenger seat, his companion's neck was twisted into a very contorted angle, and a strange smile was on his face. Even though he was clearly dead, the smile made him seem alive, his eyes overflowing with mockery.

The young driver wanted to scream, but he was seriously injured and barely had the strength to shout.

Li Wei and Jin Chengzhai Qianye quickly passed by the scene of the car accident. The shattered guardrails were scattered on the ground, but this did not affect Li Wei.

Jinchengzhai Qianye turned her head to try and get a clear look at the accident scene, but because the car was going too fast, she could only see the broken guardrail and the large truck parked in the emergency lane.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "I never expected to see a car accident scene on my way home. It's really bad luck."

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's peak season for returning home now, and everyone's rushing home for the New Year, so it's normal to drive fast on the road. But going too fast can easily cause problems. This driver who caused the accident is quite something. He even crashed through the guardrail between the two roads. It looks like the car drove onto the opposite lane and was hit by a truck. Even the guardrail on the other side is missing a piece; the car probably fell down there."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "In this situation, the chances of that driver surviving are probably slim."

Li Wei laughed and said, "That depends on whether he often does good deeds. They say good people are always blessed. Maybe he will survive."

Li Wei is the kind of person who takes revenge immediately. Unless he encounters someone more powerful than himself, he will settle any grudges on the spot.

Through his senses, Li Wei could tell that the people in that car were no good. They had hidden drugs in the trunk, and quite a lot of them. If the police found out, a life sentence would be the lightest punishment, and it wouldn't be surprising if they were eating peanuts.

The people in the back seat and the passenger seat were all dead, leaving only the driver alive. Although he had lost a lot of blood and was on the verge of death, Li Wei wouldn't let him die, so even if his injuries were so severe that his limbs were broken, he would be fine.

Of course, although he survived, this young driver will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and he will have difficulty pushing it himself. Without someone to help him push it, he will just stay there.

This little incident didn't affect Li Wei's mood at all, and the two of them drove smoothly to their hometown county.

Li Wei drove the car to a remote place without surveillance cameras, and then stored the car in his mind's eye space.

Li Wei feigned a somewhat troubled expression and said, "Sure enough, it's a bit of a stretch to stuff such a big thing inside. The effect of the 'Sleeve Universe' spell can only last for less than two days at most."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "This is already very powerful, okay? Such a big car, just stuffed in like that. I really don't know when I'll be able to learn such a convenient spell."

Li Wei said, "It's still a long way off. The threshold for manipulating space is very high. The more advanced the space-related magic, the more difficult it is to learn."

Li Wei himself benefited from the advantages of the cultivation technique, which is why he was able to construct such a stable sea of ​​consciousness. But even so, the feat of completing such spatial nesting was achieved thanks to the floating island, a top-tier magic treasure that "forms its own world."

The system refreshes the prize pool periodically, and Li Wei has been participating in the lottery intermittently. He will soon be able to draw the guaranteed prize again. At that time, he will be able to acquire another powerful magic weapon. Moreover, this guaranteed magic weapon will compensate for his shortcomings in offensive methods, making his strength more complete and minimizing his weaknesses.

After parking the car, the two walked towards the relatively bustling street.

Jincheng Qianye said, "This city feels a bit old, and the urban area isn't very big. I don't know how to put it, but it's a bit like one of those small cities from the Showa era in Japan."

Li Wei said, "This is the problem facing small cities in Chongguo: regional decline, which is a very difficult problem to solve. Young people mostly flock to big cities for development, and very few are willing to stay and develop in small cities. Without enough talent to support them, small cities are like time has stopped, frozen in the past."

This situation is not considered serious in Chongqing, a municipality directly under the central government. In many provinces and cities in the north, decline has already begun. For example, the famous Hegang is a representative example of a declining city.

A population crisis has arrived, a problem faced by countries all over the world, not just those in the city. Although this has no direct impact on Li Wei, seeing his hometown in this state still fills him with a faint sadness.

Li Wei said, "Let's just wander around. This place has special meaning for me, even though the scenery is indeed terrible and looks a bit old. But I often dream about these places."

Jincheng Saichiya nodded. She could understand this homesickness, just like how she would sometimes dream of the scenery of her hometown, Sapporo, after she went to study in Tokyo.

Chapter 1. A Visit to the Former Residence

The two hadn't walked far when Li Wei stopped downstairs in an open-air residential complex near the street.

"This is it. We used to live on the top floor, and we had to climb the stairs every day. When we went to school, we had to go down ten floors, and when we came home from school in the afternoon, we had to climb ten floors again. There were no elevators back then, so we had to climb the stairs. It was a real ordeal every day," Li Wei said with a sigh.

"Wow, that must be really tough," Jin Chengzhai Qianye said. Putting herself in Li Wei's shoes, she would also find it tough. That's a real ten floors; climbing up and down is no easy task.

Li Wei said, "Climbing the stairs every day is bad enough, but the tenth floor is the top floor, and summer is the hardest time to endure it. Living on the top floor is like frying tofu; one side is fried during the day, the other side is fried in the afternoon, and at night the whole top floor feels like it's been cooked through, with temperatures reaching over thirty degrees Celsius. I really don't know how I survived it when I was a child."

Childhood memories can be happy or frustrating, and the location of the old house is perhaps the most annoying. But what could Li Wei's family do when they were poor and could only afford such a house?

Back then, getting a bank loan wasn't easy. Luckily, the developer of the building was an acquaintance of Li Wei's parents, and they made a bet: if Li Wei's parents could come up with 20,000 yuan upfront, the top-floor apartment would be theirs. Li Wei's parents were quite bold; if you dare to ask, I dare to bet. They borrowed from all their relatives and friends, scraping together 20,000 yuan to buy the apartment.

At that time, excluding the top floor, the price per square meter of this building was around 210 yuan. Apart from the top floor, the transaction price of each apartment below was about 24,000 to 20,000 yuan. This was just over 20,000 yuan in the early 2000s. At that time, money was still quite valuable, unlike the crazy devaluation it has now.

It took Li Wei's parents two years to pay off the debt of over ten thousand yuan.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye laughed and said, "Actually, when I was a child, my family was not well-off, and we went through a period of hardship. But when I was with my family, the hardships of material conditions didn't matter. As long as my family was with me, there was nothing to be afraid of."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Yes, being with family does indeed give one a sense of security."

Li Wei felt very lucky. Although his childhood was not materially rich, his parents were both intellectuals, well-educated and reasonable people, so they would reason with him, listen to his opinions and wishes, and respect his personality and dignity.

It can be said that Li Wei felt his parents were more reasonable than most people's parents. It was precisely because he had a stable home base that he could fully display his talents without any worries.

This is precisely why, unlike other young people who are afraid to go home, Li Wei can confidently return home during holidays, because for him, home is a safe haven where he can rest peacefully. However, for young people with problems in their families of origin, home is actually the most chaotic battlefield. Therefore, many young people are now unwilling to go home during holidays, because once they are home, their parents, whose values ​​or ways of thinking are problematic, will exacerbate their mental anguish.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Let's go up and take a look. We have the keys with us. It would feel like a waste if we didn't go up and check."

Neither of them were ordinary people, so climbing stairs was no problem for them. Before long, they reached the tenth floor, the top floor. Li Wei took out a cross-shaped key, which is now rarely seen, and opened the security door.

The air inside was a bit stuffy. Li Wei glanced around and saw that all the windows were closed. However, his parents had said that they had cleaned the house more than half a month ago, so the house still looked relatively clean.

"The environment here is relatively simple, since no one has lived here for a while, and most of the furniture has been moved out," Li Wei said.

Li Wei snapped his fingers, and all the previously closed windows opened, letting in gusts of cool air that swept away the stuffy atmosphere and even cleaned up the thin layer of dust in a short while.

Li Wei said, "Luckily we came during the Chinese New Year. If we had come during the summer vacation, it would have been no different from being in a sauna."

Although Li Wei really wanted to complain about the insulation and leaks on the top floor, he held back his complaints because the price of the apartment at the time was much lower than the normal price, making it a bargain.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Back then, we were poor, and being poor meant having to be aware of our circumstances and not wanting everything to be good. Now that his family is well-off, Li Wei hasn't forgotten the poor days he lived in; he's not an ungrateful person.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye asked, "May I look around?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Please go ahead."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye curiously examined each room. The decor was quite old and simple, revealing that the owner's original idea was clear: as long as it was habitable, it didn't need to be overly comfortable. Because of this, the renovations were done with minimal effort, resulting in many areas showing signs of shoddy workmanship.

Japanese people, especially those who live in detached houses, generally have some knowledge of interior design because they maintain their homes regularly. While they may not be experts, they are certainly much better than those who know nothing at all.

. .......

Jinchengzhai Qianye released her senses, scanning the house. Although she was a novice who had only recently embarked on the path of cultivation, she still knew basic operations such as projecting her divine sense. After scanning the house, she pulled out a large photo album from a cabinet.

I opened the slightly worn photo album, which contained old photos full of the spirit of the era. These old photos, still encased in vinyl, are very rare nowadays. We live in a digital age, and many people save their photos on hard drives or cloud storage after taking them; physical photos are becoming increasingly scarce.

Jinchengzhai Qianye saw Li Wei's childhood photo and his face showed a look of amazement. Unlike the Li Wei of today, who possesses an extreme masculine beauty, almost like a character from Araki's novels, the Li Wei in the photo is a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye found it hard to believe that in less than ten years, Li Wei's entire appearance had changed. He had transformed from a pretty boy straight out of a shoujo manga into a muscular, sunny man resembling the ultimate creature Kars. She could only marvel at the immense power of time. However, the current Li Wei was quite nice too, giving off an unparalleled sense of security. Those delicate, pretty boys were only appealing to women with a strong brother complex or a controlling nature; she, for one, preferred the current Li Wei.

Chapter 1. The Reason for the Encounter

Li Wei came up behind the girl and said, "I didn't expect you to find this. This is the old house here. Dad and Mom didn't bring everything to the new house, so you can still see some old books and photos here."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "These photos look quite old, but they are very well preserved. The uncle and aunt must value them very much."

Li Wei nodded and said, "After all, people cherish their beautiful memories."

There were other photo albums in the cabinet. Li Wei took one out, sat down next to the girl, and began to look through them.

Li Wei was also very interested in the old photos. At the same time, he sighed inwardly at the unpredictability of fate. If it weren't for the extraordinary encounter that followed, although he would be living a carefree life now, he wouldn't be as happy as he is now.

The two chatted and laughed as they flipped through old memories. Taking photos used to be a real hassle, so every single one was precious. In China, smartphones only became widespread around 1990. Before that, most phones were "old-fashioned" models, unlike the powerful cameras available today. Therefore, most photos from that era were taken with cameras—a time without beauty filters—resulting in very simple and unadorned images.

Even so, Li Wei in the photo still exudes the charm of youth.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye flipped through the photos, becoming more and more surprised. Li Wei was really good-looking before. Even if he had debuted on the spot, he could have made a living just by his face. Once his looks reached a certain level, he really had such an exaggerated ability.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Li Weijun, you must have been very popular with girls when you were a child."

Li Wei said, "Yes, that's true. But at that time I focused on my studies. I knew what I wanted, so I chose to ignore the girls' advances."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "I think those girls must be very sad, after all, they didn't expect that their charm would be no match for their studies."

Li Wei said, "Because I became an otaku in elementary school, I set a goal for myself back then, which was to study abroad in Japan during college and see what the next world is like. So for me at that time, the girls around me were actually a hindrance and hindered my studies."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye didn't know what to say. Those girls were really unlucky; they didn't meet Li Wei at the right time. Perhaps Li Wei's personality wasn't as mature back then as it is now, so he didn't have the same grace when facing girls.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "I suddenly realize that I am quite lucky to have met you, Li Weijun, at the right time."

Li Wei said, "Because I see a dimension in you. You are the purest girl I have ever seen in the three-dimensional world, without exception. You are as pure as a heroine who stepped out of an anime. I never thought that someone like you could exist in the real world. Therefore, I don't want you to be tainted by the mortal world."

Jinchengzhai Qianye was somewhat surprised when she heard Li Wei's words. She hadn't expected that she would be so special in Li Wei's eyes. While she was happy, she also felt pressured.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "I possess dimensional purity? How come I didn't know that?"

Li Wei said, "Those involved are often blinded, so it's naturally difficult for you to see yourself clearly. Let me ask you a question: even if someone offends you and you're very angry, think about it: when you're angry, do you have any malicious thoughts?"

Jin Chengzhai Qianye reflected on her past experiences and realized that she really had too good a temper. Sometimes she was simply silly and optimistic, and she didn't care about suffering small losses.

Looking back now, it was this personality that gave her a special place in Li Wei's heart, which made her somewhat fortunate. However, the reason she had such a good personality, unlike other Japanese people who are two-faced, was also related to her family's upbringing. From a young age, she received strict education from her parents, who taught her to be a kind-hearted person and to strive to become a strong and good person. Only by being strong herself could she pass on gentleness and kindness to others.

Li Wei said, "We are, after all, Qi cultivators, and you have also embarked on the path of cultivation. You know that people like us possess all sorts of miraculous abilities. When I first saw you, I was amazed because you were radiating golden light. Only highly accomplished monks or kind-hearted people could do that. When everyone around you was so corrupt, your existence was like a lotus flower blooming in a muddy pit. Do you know how shocked I was at that time? I really couldn't believe that a young girl like you, Qianye, could have such a level of cultivation."
