A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Because fighting games have a relatively high barrier to entry, many enthusiasts don't play them themselves, but rather watch skilled players, becoming casual "armchair gamers" by watching online and offline tournaments. If we include these armchair gamers, the number of fans of this game would increase several times over.

Li Wei quickly adjusted his chair. A group of people had already gathered behind him, which was quite normal in an arcade. Skilled players who excelled at fighting games were called "Great Demon Kings" by other players in the arcade, and those who challenged the Great Demon Kings were considered "heroes." Naturally, a man like Li Wei, who clearly wasn't ordinary, attracted a lot of attention.

Li Wei dropped the game coin into the coin slot, interrupting the ongoing game and taking him to the character selection screen.

Sitting opposite Li Wei, Yue Hai didn't care about such things. In her eyes, he was just another defeated opponent. In this arcade, she was a "peerless master" who stood above many fighting game players.

Chapter 1. Matches

Looking at the character selection screen that popped up, Yuehai instantly chose the character she was best at: a speed-type character who wasn't particularly strong in terms of damage but was excellent at seizing opportunities to perform combos and chain attacks. The character's appearance was that of a female fighter with long black hair, who was heroic and had the air of a grandmaster.

Li Wei chose a tough, muscular character, much like Abigail from Street Fighter or Chang Koehan from King of Fighters. This character is relatively slow but has excellent damage and range. However, due to the slow start-up and difficulty in getting the frame right, it is a difficult character for skilled players to master. In addition, its appearance is unappealing, so apart from professional players and die-hard fans, few people would play this character.

When Yuehai saw the character Li Wei chose, she was also stunned for a moment. She confidently chose the character first, just so that Li Wei could choose a character that would counter her. This can be regarded as the leeway of a strong person. It is clear that I am stronger than you. No matter what kind of character you choose to counter me, I can still beat you.

However, the character Li Wei chose was at a disadvantage compared to other characters she had chosen. It was tough and had strong attack power and range, but so what? Just the difference in the slow start frame meant that this tanky character would not be able to whittle down the health of a speed-type character if she was unlucky.

Moon Sea is wild, but Li Wei is even wilder. The countdown begins, and a few seconds later, the two characters are facing off on the screen. Li Wei gets the right-hand position, which is a position that many people dislike because it is not comfortable to play.

After the match began, Yuehai, controlling the female fighter, jumped low into the air and cut into the gap in the defense of the big guy controlled by Liwei.

Although the big guy is strong and has long reach, he has the disadvantage of slow start-up and no attack range within his body length. In other words, once you get within his body length, he will be directly hit and his guard will be broken, and he will not be able to counterattack.

However, Li Wei's understanding of this game has surpassed the limits of top professional players. Although the character he chose is slow, his reaction speed is extremely fast, which is incomparable to that of Jirei. Moreover, he has not yet activated his super speed, and even his normal reaction speed can crush Yuehai.

The big guy decisively rolled backward, and the instant he finished rolling, his fist was already out. This huge fist slammed into the face of the female fighter who landed. Both of them were in the moment of finishing their moves, and neither of them could launch a counterattack. So the second round of fighting had to end there.

The big guy, relying on his attack power advantage, instantly reduced the female fighter's health by 90%. The advantage of a heavy attack character is immediately apparent. You have to hit me several times to whittle down my health by 90%, but I only need to hit you once to reduce your health by nearly 90%. It's better to hit harder than to hit more. That's exactly the situation now.

Yuehai's expression changed, and she quickly launched a preemptive attack. As a character with a speed advantage, she played the offensive and suppressive role. Even if she lost the initial attack, she could not hesitate. She charged forward and went all out.

Li Wei had already guessed Yue Hai's idea, so he didn't fight head-on. Instead, he did a forward roll, and the two characters passed each other, with the big guy standing on the left.

Both sides reacted very quickly, and their playstyles were also very distinctive, so in the eyes of the other players standing behind them, this duel was a match between professionals of equal skill.

Yuehai frowned slightly. She continued to control her character and launch attacks, but each attack was narrowly dodged by her opponent, while she also took a solid punch. Less than ten seconds into the match, her fragile female fighter's health had already dropped to a dangerous level of around 90%, while the large opponent, having only made one mistake, still had over 90% health remaining. In this situation, even if Li Wei didn't launch any attacks, simply staying put would allow him to win by stalling for time.

"That's pretty impressive. Could it be a professional player from somewhere who came here to 'smurf'?" Yuehai murmured softly.

Yuehai has a clear understanding of her own skills. She knows that with her skills, she can easily bully ordinary players, but when she encounters a real master, she will expose her true level and get completely crushed by the opponent.

Yuehai had no intention of giving up. Even though her health was at a disadvantage, she continued to attack aggressively. That's how players of fighting games are: even if they only have a percentage of health left, as long as time hasn't run out, there's still a chance to turn the tide.

Li Wei also changed his style. Originally, he used the big guy's roll to launch a counterattack, but now he had an absolute health advantage. Even if he was caught in a combo, it wouldn't matter. So he controlled the big guy to launch an active attack, maintained good distance, and used the big guy's long arms and legs to try to fight back against Yuehai.

Those watching gasped in surprise.

"The Great Demon King has actually been suppressed! Where did this guy come from? He looks unfamiliar. I don't think he's one of the professional players."

"It's not necessarily only professionals who can play this well. Maybe they're top players on Battle.net who come out to play offline for fun. Those top players on Battle.net already have skills that are no less than professional players. It's just a coincidence that they haven't gone to play professionally for various reasons."

"Look! The Great Demon King is counterattacking! She's seized her opportunity! Da Niu is stuck, unable to retaliate within a body length. This is Da Niu's Achilles' heel! Da Niu's been locked in the toilet! Goodness, an incredibly long combo, aimed at stunning him!"

This game's combos have a damage scaling system; the more hits in a combo, the greater the damage scaling. Therefore, professional players' combos are generally relatively simple, aiming to maximize damage. Amateur players, on the other hand, tend to have flashy combos, but their damage output is often lackluster.

Moonsea's goal is to stun, so she doesn't care if her character is affected by damage scaling. As long as she can stun the big guy controlled by Li Wei, she can get multiple opportunities to deal damage, first leveling the health gap between the two characters, and then trying to break the deadlock.

Just as her character reached a combo count of more than ten, a strange feeling washed over her. She felt her heart racing, her body getting hot, and she couldn't concentrate on it, causing her combo to be interrupted.

"The Great Demon King has lost her connection! I didn't expect her to make such a mistake. She seems a bit strange."

Yuehai no longer cared about winning or losing the game. She suddenly stood up. Her height of nearly 1 meter allowed her to see Li Wei across the machine without any obstruction. The moment she saw Li Wei, her face flushed instantly. She hadn't expected that the person sitting opposite her would be Li Wei.

Chapter 1. Encounter

"Could it be that the Great Demon King can't handle losing? He always wins, and even when he loses, it's by a small margin. Now that he's being so brutally defeated, his mentality must have collapsed." The people watching the match from behind whispered among themselves.

"Who knows? Look at the Demon King's expression. It means they might know each other. This handsome man and beautiful woman must have something we don't know about. Maybe they're in that kind of relationship."

"Please explain in detail, brother. I'm all ears."

Divination can be said to be a common human trait, and even a strong person like Li Wei is not immune to it, let alone ordinary people. So when they saw Yue Hai grab Li Wei's wrist and drag him outside, they all showed an "I understand" expression. In their eyes, Yue Hai's loss of composure was like a girl acting coquettishly towards her boyfriend.

After the two people left, the onlookers dispersed, and the arcade returned to its usual state, with everyone playing their own games.

At this moment, Li Wei was being pulled by the wrist by Yue Hai and brought outside the arcade. Yue Hai was quite agitated, so Li Wei was in no hurry to say anything, lest he make things worse.

Yuehai led Li Wei to an alley behind the arcade. This place was relatively secluded, and hardly anyone would walk through it on weekdays. Naturally, the security in such alleys was not very good, and you could often see delinquents passing by.

Yuehai looked at Li Wei, her lips pressed tightly together, her brows furrowed. The moment she saw Li Wei, she lost control of her mind. She firmly believed that she could win the Wagyu game on her own, so she had no intention of searching for her own Reisha.

Furthermore, since her adjustments were made at a research institute in the Eastern Capital, she possessed more intelligence than the average Sekirei. Therefore, she knew the game was flawed, and following MBI's directions might lead to disaster. Considering this, and not wanting to entrust her life to others, she always acted alone, conducting investigations and operations.

Now, a man has entered her heart. When she first saw Li Wei, the flutter in her heart was already overwhelming. But when she saw the beautiful women around Li Wei, her mind went completely blank.

If Li Wei had been a person back then, perhaps she would have broken the rules she set for herself and successfully transcended into immortality.

Li Wei said, "Did you bring me here because you want to tell me something?"

Li Wei feigned confusion, and Yue Hai was furious at his bewildered expression. However, she thought that there was nothing between them, and that this was all just her throwing a tantrum. With that thought, Yue Hai felt a little embarrassed.

Although Yuehai has a bad temper, she is not an unreasonable person. It's just that she easily loses her composure when facing Li Wei.

This is understandable. Compared to other Sekirei, Tsukimi's relatively happy upbringing makes her more like an ordinary human girl with her own loves, hates, joys, and sorrows. She also holds a skeptical attitude towards the Sekirei game. Therefore, she is more like an ordinary human girl who has stumbled into the game. When faced with the fact that the man she falls in love with is with other girls, she cannot remain calm like other Sekirei.

The "grandmother" who was in charge of adjusting her life once told her: "You have to grasp your own happiness with your own hands. Don't pin your hopes on other people's charity. So when you face someone you really like, take the initiative. That way, you won't regret it even if you fail."

Yuehai kept these words firmly in her heart. Deep down, she also longed to find someone who could understand her, but such a "soulmate" was not so easy to find. Until she met Liwei, she had never had any strange feelings. Compared to other wagtails, her individual strength was already powerful, so the difficulty of her metamorphosis was naturally higher than that of other wagtails. Therefore, she had always remained "single".

Yuehai looked at Li Wei, this excessively handsome man. Not only was he good-looking, but he also had a very good temper. Even though she had dragged him outside to a place like this, he didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and asked her what she wanted to see him about.

"Um... um..." Yuehai felt she should say something, but the words caught in her throat.

"Don't be nervous. I'm just an ordinary person like you, not some great figure. So, relax and breathe."

Li Wei guided the other person in a gentle tone, like a yoga or meditation teacher. The smile on his face, combined with his gentle voice, gave people an indescribable feeling. Just by looking at him, one could feel a sense of goodwill.

Yuehai said, "I'm sorry, I was angry with you just now..."

Yuehai felt a little annoyed that she had said such a thing in her nervousness. She didn't know what to say next to break the awkward silence.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's normal to vent your emotions, but a lovely girl like you needs to learn to protect yourself when you're out. This isn't a place for a girl. Go back."

Yuehai's expression suddenly froze, and she said, "Perhaps we won't be able to go back so easily."

As a controllable wagtail, Moonsea possesses reconnaissance abilities that ordinary wagtails lack. She can detect stealth units by sensing changes in air molecules, which is her unique advantage. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for enemies to ambush her when she has activated her perception state.

Yuehai could sense that several mysterious figures hidden in the shadows had entered her vigilance range. Through her perception of changes in air molecules, she could discern their physical outlines, height, arm span, and whether they were carrying weapons, among other information.

Several mysterious figures were rapidly approaching. In addition, through the research institute's information channels, she had recently heard that a mysterious organization was attacking the Sekirei, and several Sekirei had gone missing. These well-informed Sekirei already knew about this, so she kept her vigilance and perception abilities activated while acting alone in order to avoid being ambushed.

Li Wei said, "We are surrounded by people, and they don't seem to have good intentions."

Yuehai said, "Who cares about all that? If they're the enemy, then we should just defeat them. You're the wagtail's reed shoot, right?"

Li Wei said, "How do you know these things? Are you a wagtail?"

Yuehai said, "You go first. They're coming for me; they probably won't bother with you."

Chapter 1. The Siege

Li Wei said, "How could I possibly leave you alone in a place like this? The mysterious organization that attacked the Wagtail is no pushover. I don't trust you to be alone."

Yuehai was unaware of Li Wei's true strength. In her eyes, Li Wei was just a stronger ordinary person. In a fight between ordinary people, someone of Li Wei's physique would be enough to defeat most. However, that mysterious organization was no ordinary group. The cyborgs they developed possessed combat power no weaker than the Sekirei. To date, several Sekirei had mysteriously disappeared, and she suspected that their disappearances were related to that mysterious organization.

Yuehai said, "This is no joke! The other side isn't some delinquents or biker gang members. You'll die!"

Yuehai felt a growing tension. She admired Li Wei's courage and gentleness in not running away under these circumstances. However, this was no time for jokes. She was anxious; the other party was a ruthless and vicious character, and Li Wei's continued presence here would put his life in danger.

Li Wei punched a hole in the wall next to him and said, "It's not only the wagtails that have mastered this power. I've already fought those guys, so I'll handle this."

"You?!" Yuehai looked at Li Wei, utterly astonished.

Li Wei laughed and said, "The thing I hate most is seeing cute girls being bullied, so any bastard who dares to do such a thing is my enemy."

Yuehai said, "I have nothing to do with you. Is it worth getting yourself into trouble over something like this?"

Yuehai could sense that the mysterious figures were getting closer and closer. There were many of them, and they had already surrounded the area. It seemed like they were about to trap them like turtles in a jar.

The intelligence she had obtained at the research institute showed her just how troublesome these mysterious figures were; even the elite members of the punishment team hadn't been able to capture them. To escape from that monster's grasp meant its strength was comparable to that of a typical Sekirei, and with such numbers, wolf tactics could easily capture the vast majority of Sekirei.

Instead of hiding the information about the mysterious organization, MBI stored it on an internal server. Any MBI employee with sufficient privileges could access the information using their personal key. Although Yuehai herself didn't have such privileges, the staff at the research institute she previously worked at did, so she was well aware of these matters.

Li Wei laughed and said, "This is not a question of whether it is worth it or not, but just my personal choice. Cute girls are a treasure bestowed by God, while those guys are absolutely unforgivable villains."

The missing wagtails were all relatively rare males. Through research on these individuals, Li Wei's puppet clone reverse-engineered many interesting biotechnologies. The wagtail is a very fascinating species.

Those who have watched "Guyver" should have a deep impression of the various Zerglings and Zerglings, the mysterious alien invaders, and the cool yet bizarre biotechnology. When young Levi first encountered "Guyver," he was completely shocked.

Through reverse engineering, Li Wei discovered something very interesting: the wagtails are essentially elite beastmen with beautification mods. These alien life forms are very likely the origin of humans on Earth in this world. The DNA sequence of the wagtails overlaps with the DNA sequence of humans in this world by more than 90%, and their various abilities differ from this 90% difference.

In other words, in this world's universe, besides Earth, there may be other planets where intelligent life forms with appearances very similar to humans exist. The wagtails landed on Earth via starships, which means that humans in this world are not alone. In the universe, there are other intelligent life forms that are extremely similar to humans on Earth.

However, Li Wei only touched on such matters briefly, and he had no intention of leaving Earth to search for extraterrestrial civilizations. His goal was very simple: to collect the Sekirei he liked, then have Bo finish the Sekirei game and leave.

The two stopped in their tracks, and around them, light and shadow shifted, and several humanoid figures covered in metal armor quickly appeared.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Li Wei smiled and said, "Now, we must completely resolve the problem before we can leave."

Yuehai frowned and said, "You're still in the mood to joke around? This is very dangerous."

Several figures pounced on them instantly, wielding various weapons and aiming for their vital points.

"dragon!"

Moonsea kicked, and two dragons coiled up, protecting the two of them. At the same time, she used the huge impact of the dragons to knock back her opponent. Although her strength was in the single digits, she was still quite powerful in her area of ​​expertise, even if she was not as good as Raven Feather in close combat.
