A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Mizai sighed and said, "Sometimes, I also want to leave everything here and travel, but there are too many things holding me back, so I can't leave even if I want to."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Then, after the Wagtail game is over, you'll be free, Sister Meizai. You can go wherever you want then."

Miya said, "Indeed, when that time comes, I will be free again. But I always feel a little lonely. You will take those children with you, won't you?"

Li Wei said, "Yes, I am their reed sprout. No matter where I go, I will never abandon them. We will stay together and never be separated."

Miya said with some surprise, "You haven't known each other for very long, have you? I didn't expect you to have such deep feelings for them."

Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm a very chauvinistic man. Now that I've become their sapling, I naturally have to protect them well."

Meizai said, "This topic feels a bit too heavy. Let's talk about Li Weijun, the interesting things you did on your journey. I think you must have traveled to quite a few worlds, there must be one or two that are particularly interesting."

Miya felt she couldn't continue dwelling on this topic. She was also somewhat conflicted. Although she was the No. of the Sekirei sequence, she was not a complete Sekirei, but a special being who was half-human and half-Sekirei. It was precisely because of this that even though she had developed considerable feelings for Li Wei, and even the Sekirei pattern on her back reacted, she was still able to control her emotions very well.

However, after learning that Li Wei would eventually leave this world, Mei Zai felt a little heartbroken. She sighed inwardly, "There is no banquet that doesn't end. Some things, no matter how reluctant you are to let go, you have to experience and bear them."

Li Wei said, "Speaking of which, my journey has been quite fraught with difficulties, because I never know what the next world I'll jump to will be like, so I often encounter some bizarre situations. For example, once, I arrived at Earth in another universe, but who knew that Earth in that world was experiencing a biohazard crisis. Biohazard crisis, Sister Meizai, you should know about it, right?"

Meizai nodded and said, "This is a very well-known thing. Although I have never played the game, I have watched the Resident Evil movie in my spare time, so I have a certain understanding of so-called zombies."

Resident Evil is a national IP in Japan. Even someone like Miyako, who is not sensitive to changes in the external environment, knows about Resident Evil.

Li Wei said, "When I first went to that world, I intended to travel around, but then a biohazard happened, and the whole world was thrown into chaos. In just a few days, human social order was completely destroyed, and the remaining survivors lived like wild beasts, fighting zombies in a brutal environment, killing each other, and fighting for their own survival. Out of compassion, I set up a survivor camp and managed to save some people. Unfortunately, that world was completely beyond saving. Out of kindness, I moved those survivors to other worlds, and then I left that completely destroyed Earth."

Miya said, "It's really heavy. Compared to that world, the Sekirei game in this world is simply an absurd farce. But fortunately, no matter how bad the final outcome of the Sekirei game is, it won't lead to the destruction of all mankind."

Li Wei said, "Yes, the Wagyu game is just a game with a relatively small impact on me. I've experienced the Great War of Gods and Demons before, a chaotic battle between angels, demons, devils, dragons, and all sorts of mythical beings. That's what I call a real war. This world is a place where I can finally rest."

Meizai sighed inwardly, realizing that even the most seasoned traveler can grow weary. Li Wei, a traveler traversing different worlds, also had moments when he longed for rest.

Miya said, "Thank you, Li Weijun. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to interfere too much with the Sekirei game, since I'm already involved. But you're different. You have both the idea and the power to change everything. You can do what I can't, and I want to thank you on behalf of all the other Sekirei."

Li Wei said, "I'm just helpless when girls cry. The Sekirei game is disgusting to me. Maybe Mihiro has good intentions, but if the process of achieving those intentions is disgusting, I will still hate it. Besides, judging from the information I've gathered so far, Mihiro doesn't have any good intentions. This kind of game that treats Sekirei as consumables is wrong in itself."

Although Li Wei is an incorrigible villain, he also has a soft spot in his heart. Mihiro's actions undoubtedly crossed his bottom line, so it is normal for him to hate Mihiro so much.

Mihiro wanted to reenact the myth through the Sekirei game, using the power of the Sekirei to absorb a large enough emotional force, and then use this power to ascend to the throne of the gods.

The so-called victorious Sekirei, who will be able to enter Takamagahara with his Ashina, is a lie that will never come true. When that time comes, the Sekirei and Ashina who win in the end will just be tools to collect emotional power. Don't even think about getting a share of the spoils later.

If Li Wei hadn't intervened in the events of this world, the plot might not have unfolded the way it did in the original story. After all, compared to the anime and manga versions, Mihiro here is a bit too sinister.

Moreover, would such an ambitious person care about the life of his own child? Li Wei, who had read Mihiro's mind, can say with certainty that Mihiro doesn't care about such a question at all. If sacrificing Sahashi Minato could make him a god quickly, Mihiro would do it without hesitation. Never underestimate the bottom line of an ambitious person. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but this principle doesn't apply to ambitious people.

Chapter 1. New Goals

Meizai said, "Li Weijun, aren't you going to play with them? Girls in swimsuits are quite cute, aren't they?"

Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly that when Mei Zai encountered something embarrassing, she would unconsciously change the subject, and because she always had a smile on her face, it was easy for her to dodge the question without noticing that she was changing the subject.

However, Miya is a rather conservative person. Improper relationships between men and women are strictly prohibited within Izumo-sou. If Uranium Girls want to spend the night in Li Wei's room, they will be scared back to their own rooms by Miya. It has to be said that Miya is quite terrifying when she gets angry, and her whole demeanor seems to change.

Li Wei turned her head slightly and said, "Right now, all I want to do is bask in the sun. I still prefer this lazy lifestyle. Playing around is too childish."

At that moment, Song ran over, holding his tablet computer, and said excitedly, "Li Weijun, - I have good news!"

Li Wei already knew about Song's so-called good news, but in order not to reveal his secret, he pretended to be curious, sat up, and asked, "What good news is it?"

Song placed his tablet in front of Li Wei, and Miya also curiously came over. The tablet showed the feed for two wagtails.

Matsu said, "No. Hikari and No. Hibiki, they are two people we can recruit. Although their numbers aren't in the single digits, they are not weak. Both of them wield the power of lightning, and most Sekirei are no match for them. If they can join our team, our strength will increase again!"

Matsu was very excited, after all, she had been looking for suitable Sekirei to join the team, but unfortunately, all the Sekirei released by MBI during this period were freaks out, all of them were very problematic children, and Matsu was having a headache watching them from behind the scenes.

Now, individuals like Guang and Xiang, who are powerful and have normal values, are far superior to those scoundrels.

It is precisely because of the various negative examples mentioned above that Hikaru and Hibiki are so precious.

Li Wei said, "This is indeed a good thing, but this is a rest time outside of work. Don't you feel tired thinking about these things at this time?"

Li Wei gently tapped Song's forehead, a tender smile on his face.

Song said, "I used to be very desperate. I couldn't break this situation on my own, so I could only hide in the gutter and be a stinking rat. It was Li Weijun who gave me hope and let me know that this absurd game of making wagtails kill each other could have an end. Hikari and Hibiki are both good girls. They are not those unlucky people who have gone crazy. I don't want to see them encounter bad people outside. By joining our team, they can at least get the power to resist and not continue to be played by fate."

Before, Song was like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river, barely able to save herself, so naturally she had no extra compassion and wouldn't try to rescue her fellow beings. But now she's different. With Li Wei's strength as a safety net, her winning team has been secured and is bound to win in the end. So now she naturally has the extra energy to help her fellow beings, provided, of course, that she deems it worthwhile.

She had been observing Hikari and Hibiki for a long time and was certain that neither of them had any psychological issues. Although both were a bit impatient, this wasn't a problem; their strong execution skills made them excellent executors for the team. Uranium Girl, currently the team's only publicly acknowledged combatant, was still too lazy. The addition of Hikari and Hibiki would effectively conceal Levi's special abilities, preventing the need for Levi himself to step in and save the day in crucial moments.

Li Wei said, "Since that's what you think, then I'll give it a try. There's no harm in trying, and what if it works out?"

To be honest, it wasn't that Li Wei was confident; rather, he had already sensed Hikari and Hibiki. There was a mutual attraction between Sekirei and Ash Bud, much like Stand users attract each other. They were like the two poles of a magnet, bound to meet no matter what. However, Li Wei's situation was special. Many Sekirei reacted to him, meaning that he could most likely easily complete the contract with those that did. That alone was enough to cheat.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Of course, some things are better left unsaid, so Li Wei pretended to be nonchalant, remaining calm and uninvolved. He already knew that some things were bound to happen, and having received a "spoiler," there was no real surprise in it.

Hikari and Hibiki had quite a few roles in the original story. Among all the Sekirei, their strength was in the second tier. Without "awakening," they could defeat all the Sekirei except for a few special individuals. However, the opponents they encountered were always very difficult, so despite their strength, their battle results were few. In terms of battle record alone, the two sisters' record was not impressive.

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

Song said, "According to the information I have received, Hikari and Hibiki have been taken away from the laboratory. If my deduction is correct, they will most likely be released tonight. However, the specific release location still needs to be monitored."

With Song having drones and Li Wei having superhuman abilities, tracking issues are completely unnecessary to consider.

Hu Die, wearing a black one-piece swimsuit, walked over and said, "Senior Song, you can prepare your drones in advance. I think it's not just us who will get the information. Better safe than sorry. Several relatively large forces have emerged in the Eastern Capital. We need to be wary of potential competitors."

Song nodded.

Li Wei said, "Factional forces have emerged so quickly? Song, you're in intelligence, could you explain the current factional situation?"

Song laughed and said, "Let Hu Die handle this kind of thing. I'm just a tech guy. When it comes to assessing the situation and making strategies, we need professionals."

Song gave the commentary opportunity to Hu Die, who felt her presence in the team was insufficient. Song decided to let Hu Die play a greater role; with a professional strategist, someone like her, with technical skills, wouldn't need to double as an advisor. Although both tasks required thinking, she personally preferred the technical aspect; the kind of scheming and backstabbing was too tiring for her.

Chapter 1. Current Situation

Hu Die adjusted her glasses, took the tablet from Song's hand, and switched the interface to the map. The entire map of the Eastern Capital was displayed intuitively in front of Li Wei.

Hu Die said, "My lord, let me now explain to you the general division of power among the Reed Sprouts in the Eastern Capital. The MBI headquarters building is located in the very heart of the Eastern Capital. Dividing the city into four general regions—east, west, south, and north—from the building as the center, the most powerful force currently is the Bing'equan force in the east. According to the intelligence Senior Song has, Bing'equan himself, along with his subordinates, has more than ten Sekirei. Several of those 'madmen' released this time have joined this force. Bing'equan is the head of the giant multinational corporation AGN. Based on the information provided by Senior Song, I analyze that there is an irreconcilable conflict between him and Yu Guangren, the head of MBI. However, this man is ruthless and inherently suspicious, not a good partner. In addition, many of his Sekirei are problem children. I predict that we will have to fight them sooner or later."

Li Wei nodded. In the original storyline, Hu Die belonged to the eastern forces of Bing'e Spring. Now that Hu Die was under his command and had made the prediction that the team would inevitably clash with the eastern forces, it seemed somewhat comical to Li Wei, who knew the original storyline.

However, Hu Die's prediction was correct. Bing E Quan was also a very ambitious person. Although he was not as crazy as Yu Guangren, we cannot deny his ambitious nature.

Li Wei said, "We don't need to pay too much attention to the eastern forces. They're just a bunch of rabble. No matter how many of them gather, they can't change anything. Let's talk about the other forces."

Hu Die nodded and said, "So far, our side is the most powerful in the north. Including myself, you have gathered three wagtails. For some reason, there are very few wagtails and reed shoots in the northern region."

Pine secretly chuckled to himself, because what Butterfly didn't know was that Miya was in charge of the northern region. Although most people didn't know Miya's past, they knew how powerful she was. This human-shaped Godzilla-like existence would deter any sane Sekirei or Ashiba from causing trouble in the northern region just by hearing the rumors.

Hu Die continued, "The largest force in the northern region is ours, while the southern force is led by a wealthy young master named Mikogami Hayato. Although this force is small in number, its overall strength is extremely high. Their team includes No. Mutsu. According to the information provided by Senior Matsu, Mutsu was a member of the first generation of the Punishment Squad and participated in the battle against the multinational coalition on Starship Island, or rather, God's Throne Island. He single-handedly wiped out the multinational coalition's land vehicle force, making him an extremely powerful figure. Although he is nothing compared to ours, he is an unstoppable force for the other independent players, such as Ashimei and Sekirei."

Hu Die was unaware that Matsu and Miya were the original captain and vice-captain of the Punishment Squad. She was, after all, No., and her awakening occurred fourteen years after the Starship Island battle. By then, Miya and Matsu had long since left the Punishment Squad; the Punishment Squad she knew was the third generation. Hu Die was currently in a state of confusion, caught up in the situation.

Hu Die continued, "Currently, the largest wagtail power groups in the Eastern Capital, including our side, consist of only three. The rest are all independent individuals and are not worth worrying about."

Li Wei, feigning ignorance, asked, "How many Wagyu are currently outside of MBI's direct jurisdiction?"

Hu Die answered without hesitation, "Including our forces, there are forty feathers in total."

Li Wei nodded. Of the 100 officially compiled characters and the dozens of extra characters, less than half have appeared so far. It will take a considerable amount of time before they can enter the next stage.

Adjusting the wagtails also takes time. MBI can't release a large number of wagtails in a short period of time. Even with MBI's mastery of starship technology, it's very troublesome to modulate such special alien life forms. It's a matter of slow and meticulous work, and it can't be rushed.

Li Wei said, "Including Hu Die, our force only has three Wagyu. Without my intervention, this force is still a bit weak. In order to conceal my presence, our team needs more partners to join us."

A piece of white paper appeared in Li Wei's hand. The paper quickly took shape in Li Wei's hand, and was soon folded into a beautifully shaped origami crane. Li Wei blew on the origami crane, and the origami crane, which had come to life, rose up and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Li Wei said, "It's never a bad thing to keep an eye on them in advance. Since we don't know exactly when the MBI will release them, let's start keeping an eye on them now so as not to miss anything important."

The woman who had walked over said, "If anyone dares to stop us, I'll beat them up. But just like Hu Die said, it's very likely that MBI's intelligence isn't just in our hands. Senior Song can use hacking skills to obtain intelligence, but AGN can rely on its financial resources to conduct espionage operations and obtain intelligence in that way."

The saying goes, "It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat." This kind of thinking is very common in intelligence work. Intelligence work is a special industry that judges people by their results. As a giant multinational corporation, AGN's scale is indeed not as large as MBI, which is almost independent and has become the world's largest corporation. However, AGN must also have its own well-established intelligence channels. Therefore, the potential threat posed by the Hyoga Izumi forces in the eastern region to Izumo-sou is much greater than that posed by Mikogami Hayato forces in the south.

Hu Die said, "I remembered a joke."

"What joke?" said Uranium Girl.

Hu Die said, "A network company was threatened by hackers who coerced them into paying a security fee. They threatened to cut off their network every ten minutes if they didn't pay. The company refused, believing they had the most robust network protection measures. Then, every ten minutes, the company's network was indeed cut off. After this happened several times, the company finally gave in and paid the security fee. If that were all, it wouldn't be such a joke. Later, the company's staff discovered the truth behind the network outages: the hacker had bribed the security guard in the server room. The hacker believed him, and the guard simply unplugged the network cable. It would have been strange if the network hadn't been cut off then."

Uranium Girl said, "High-end cyber warfare often uses some simple techniques, but come to think of it, this is too simple! No, it's too absurd!"

Chapter 4. A Sunny Day and a Good Mood

Hu Die said, "From an outsider's perspective, this is indeed outrageous and ridiculous, but undeniably, the power of money is often that strong. We Sekirei have credit cards issued by MBI, and because of the Sekirei game, we don't care about money. But ordinary humans do care about such things, so it's not surprising that they can be bought off with money. MBI is definitely not a monolithic entity, and on AGN's side, as long as someone is willing to place a heavy bet, there will always be someone willing to take the risk."

Hu Die believes there is a mole within MBI, though their positions vary. Furthermore, MBI has definitely planted agents within AGN as well; mutual infiltration between the two sides is undeniable, but MBI, with its technological advantage, holds a greater overall advantage.

As the team's strategist, Hu Die, after obtaining various information from Song, began to analyze the current situation—a task that came almost instinctively to her. Even if no one else brought it up, she would still do it; it was her duty as the team's strategist.

Li Wei said, "Hu Die, the joke you told me didn't seem very funny at first, but when you think about it carefully, it has a kind of dark humor that goes deep into your bones."

Li Wei thought of business battles in the real world. Business battles in movies and TV dramas are either about manipulating stock prices, using corporate espionage to steal intelligence from the other side, eavesdropping and counter-eavesdropping, turning the other side against them, or using underhanded tactics to cut off the other side's gold chain. They are all incredibly exciting.

However, what is the real business war like in the real world? A regional general manager of a shared bicycle group found a competitor's shared bicycle parking spot and, in a fit of anger, tore the seats of more than seventy shared bicycles across the street.

The person who developed the social networking app deliberately spread inappropriate information on a competitor's app and then reported it. As a result, it was exposed that he was the one who did it, and he was arrested and detained instead.

Taking advantage of a competitor's change of business license, the chairman of a certain group mobilized more than ten burly men to snatch the competitor's business license in front of the government. Another group chairman led more than thirty people to a competitor's company to seize the company seal.

There have been some comical incidents among drone technology manufacturers. One manufacturer sent employees with signal jammers to disrupt a competitor's drone demonstration. Another company's board member climbed over a wall to secretly photograph a competitor's patented technology. There were also internal power struggles where companies poisoned their competitors.

It's fair to say that most real-world business battles are incredibly absurd, even more so than Stephen Chow's comedies, yet these events are all based on real life. As I said before, literary and cinematic creations still need to adhere to basic logic, but the real world never does, which is why the real world is so hilarious and fascinating.

In Li Wei's view, the battle between MBI and AGN was a bit too serious, lacking any drama. A fake business war, full of intrigue and scheming, is nothing compared to a real business war: you wait, I'll come and crush you (physical). The kind of business war Li Wei enjoys watching is the first type.

Hu Die said, "The world is irrational; anything can happen. Recommendations and logic cannot explain everything. Therefore, I am used to making plans in advance to minimize risks as much as possible. However, given your abilities, my lord, I am essentially just a figurehead as your strategist."
