A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei said, "The movie was cancelled. We were already quite close to the cinema when this unexpected thing happened. We encountered a wagtail who had been attacked by members of the Snake Organization. She was seriously injured, so we brought her back."

Song showed a surprised expression and said, "You can even find a wagtail while just going out for a walk. I really don't know what to say about your luck, Li Weijun."

Li Wei said, "I don't know if I should call it luck, but from the perspective of the wagtail that was rescued, it was indeed luck. Falling into the hands of the Snake Organization is not a good thing; human experimentation is definitely the most basic thing they would do."

Song imagined the cruel human experiments in his mind and shuddered. Indeed, if he fell into the hands of a terrifying organization like the Snake Organization, the outcome would be extremely bad. In that case, death would be a relief.

However, Song was unaware that the mastermind behind the Snake Organization was right in front of her, and that the wagtails kidnapped by the Snake Organization had not been mistreated. The Snake Organization had only pretended to conduct some limited experiments. The para-wagtails were very precious materials and could not be harmed at will.

Li Wei also looked down on the power wielded by the Sekirei. The Snake Organization's capture of the Sekirei was merely to create an opportunity for him to win over the Sekirei. Fundamentally, Li Wei also wanted to minimize casualties in the Sekirei Game.

Song said, "I've done some statistics before, and the number of wagtails captured by the Snake Organization has reached the human level. I've also summarized their behavior and target patterns. They have no interest in the fully-fledged wagtails; what they want are the wagtails that are still in their fledgling stage. However, I still don't know what their purpose is in doing this."

Li Wei pulled out a spare food tablecloth from his sea of ​​consciousness, spread it on the low table, and made himself a glass of iced cola.

Li Wei said, "If we can know the other side's intentions, we can defend accordingly. Right now, among the 'washirei' released by MBI, are there any targets we could recruit?"

Song said, "The two already released are two uncontrollable lunatics; we can skip them. However, next, a single-digit number will be released. It's No. 1, Flame, a guy with considerable fighting strength and a good personality."

Chapter 4. The Special Nature of the Wagtail

Li Wei also had a very deep impression of No., because it was a very special wagtail, at least in the original story.

In the original storyline, No. is a magical individual who can switch between male and female genders. This instability in her gender arises because an accident occurred during the adjustment process.

It is precisely because of this that No. in the original story is a very awkward character. Although he is seen as a reliable guardian by others, he actually has a deep sense of inferiority, feels that he is not as good as other Sekirei, and even has a serious tendency to self-destruct.

However, now, because of Li Wei's intervention and the fact that he had secretly provided some adjustment technology to MBI, Yan in this world has not encountered the same predicament as in the original story. She is currently in a stable female state.

Because she no longer experiences the same embarrassing situations as in the original story, the current Homura doesn't have the same significant personality problems as in the original story. Therefore, Homura doesn't see herself as a defective product, and she is quite excited about participating in the Sekirei Games.

Li Wei said, "If they are potential allies worth recruiting, I will do my best to persuade them. But then again, as a single-digit number of individuals, and one of them so early in the group, it's surprising that they're only being released now."

Song said, "It seems that some special technology was used during the adjustment, which delayed the progress. Originally, she was supposed to leave MBI earlier. Now, I'm not really sure what's going on. MBI no longer puts all the data on its internal servers. I can only access some of the data; I can't know everything."

Song tapped on the food tablecloth, made herself a hot coffee. Reading was very energy-consuming, and she felt a little tired.

Li Wei said, "MBI's adjustment technology is also constantly improving. Theoretically speaking, the later-emerging Sekirei have a certain advantage in adjustment technology. However, the strength of the Sekirei must be viewed as a whole."

Matsu rested his chin on his hand and said, "Strictly speaking, after the formation process, the starting points of individual Sekirei are actually quite similar. Their final combat strength depends on the techniques used for adjustment and each individual's unique training methods. Diligent individuals are much stronger than those who cheat and slack off. To be honest, even Sekirei don't like monotonous training, so after the formation process, individuals with similar starting points will have huge differences in strength, as is the case now."

Li Wei asked, "Why should the individuals who were previously compiled be treated differently?"

Matsu said, "Because the individuals before the MBI's creation already had superior basic qualities, and they were already in the developmental stage when they were discovered by the MBI. The technology of the Sekirei itself is much stronger than that of the MBI, so individuals who grow using native technology are much stronger than those who are completely modified by humans. Take Tsukimi for example, she is an exception. Even before she evolved, she was stronger than most Sekirei who had already evolved. Even if a typical Sekirei desperately spreads its wings, it might not be able to defeat her. And now that she has evolved, she can easily take on four Sekirei with average abilities. It's also because she was just a child whose abilities were only just beginning to develop during the battle on Kamukura Island. If she had been able to obtain her current strength earlier, she would definitely have had a place in the first generation of the Punishment Squad."

Li Wei could understand this argument. Based on the information he gathered from various sources, the top-ranked infiltrators had all benefited to some extent. The lower-ranked infiltrators, whose adjustments were based on the technology mastered by MBI, were inherently weaker than those higher-ranked infiltrators who had already undergone preliminary adjustments using alien technology.

The female protagonist, No. Yui, who has not yet appeared, is a very special case. Moreover, her current strength is related to No. Yui integrating her own Sekirei core into her body. Yui's own core has been destroyed by the special forces of the United States through violent means.

According to the information Li Wei found, the situation was similar to a computer's hard drive having a limit. High-intensity downloading and uploading would directly consume the entire disk's read capacity, and once that limit was exceeded, the hard drive would fail. The wagtail's body, in essence, was in a similar situation. Imagine a special forces unit using equipment to read data; in pursuit of efficiency, they pushed the download speed to the maximum, causing the wagtail's body to overload, leading to the cessation of its bodily functions—in human terms, death.

Li Wei treated himself to afternoon tea and snacks, saying, "The wagtail is truly amazing; it always manages to surprise me. Matsu, are you able to confirm the specific release time for No.?"

Following Li Wei's example, Song also ordered himself afternoon tea and said calmly, "The time is tentatively set for the day after tomorrow. If there are any changes to the time, I will let you know as soon as I receive the news."

Li Wei nodded and began to enjoy his afternoon tea. As a Qi cultivator, he had already reached the state of fasting and did not need ordinary food to supplement his nutrition. He could generate magic power continuously through the internal circulation of his body. Even if the entire universe underwent drastic changes, he would still have a way to survive.

Even though he had reached this level, he still did not abandon his human habits. Eating and sleeping, though not essential, had become his enjoyment.

Meanwhile, in Miya's room, she was helping Tsukimi put on her pajamas. While treating Tsukimi, Li Wei had not only healed her injuries but also cleaned her up, leaving her feeling clean and refreshed. Without this step, Miya would have had to go to the bathroom to fetch a basin of hot water to wipe Tsukimi's body.

Such details warmed Mi-zai's heart. No girl would dislike a boy she likes if he is a considerate and gentle person.

The beautiful pajamas were quite suitable for Yuehai as the two of them had similar body types, and the loose-fitting cotton pajamas were universally flattering.

Chapter 4. Flame

Miya pulled the blanket off Fuka to the side, revealing Fuka's perfect body underneath. Miya sighed inwardly, realizing that time really does change people. She and Fuka hadn't seen each other for almost ten years. The Fuka of the past still had a youthful feel to her, but now, Fuka had become very mature, and even her figure was no less impressive than hers, her older sister's.

Kazaka during the first generation of the Punishment Squad, in terms of appearance, was somewhere between a human girl and an adult woman, a slightly awkward age. She had just shed her immaturity but was far from being mature. That was roughly the feeling she gave off.

However, now, with age and the experience Feng Hua has gained from her adventures, she has finally developed an adult aura, a slightly seductive one, like a bad woman leaning against a bar counter, beautiful yet dangerous.

Meizai had developed a strong enough immunity to such beautiful scenery, and soon the other person changed into their pajamas.

Meizai said softly, "I didn't expect that this girl is now older than me. Indeed, time changes many things."

------------

In the fitness area of ​​the MBI Adjustment Research Institute, a tall and slender girl with short silver hair, resembling a supermodel, is doing pull-ups on a horizontal bar.

With her exertion, the powerful yet not bulky muscles on her body deformed with his movements. A fine layer of sweat covered the girl's skin. She didn't have the athletic tan, but her porcelain-white skin did not detract from her beauty.

Despite being a woman, this girl possesses a unique charm. If she were to wear men's clothing, she would look absolutely stunning—a quintessential example of a woman dressed as a man. Unlike typical feminine beauty, this girl is masculine to women and feminine to men; it's an all-encompassing allure. Both men and women can see her unique beauty.

Sahashi Takami approached the girl and said, "Homura, you've been doing tests all day, and you still can't burn off your excess energy?"

The spirited girl called Flame released her hands and landed as lightly as a cat. She stretched out her body, her excellent flexibility allowing her to easily make movements similar to folding in half.

Looking at the girl, Takami Sahashi sighed inwardly. The girl was indeed very lucky. She originally thought she would be shipped out as a defective product, but during this period, the research department broke through the technical bottleneck and used new technology, and the hidden dangers on the girl were eliminated.

The previous No. Akitsu was an unlucky guy. If he had been willing to wait a little longer, his physical problems could have been resolved by now. But now, Akitsu has gone to Li Wei's side and doesn't seem to have any plans to come back, so she hasn't been able to find a chance to bring up the matter of readjustment.

Yan took off the towel draped around her neck and wiped the sweat from her cheeks, saying, "I feel great, I have inexhaustible energy. I am completely different from before."

Sahashi Takami nodded and said, "I understand how you feel, but the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, so you need to adjust your mindset. When you leave, the first squad of the Punishment Team will be responsible for covering you and making sure you are moved to a safe area."

Yan took a deep breath and said, "This has become very troublesome."

Sahashi Takami sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. The Snake Organization is lurking in the shadows, and no one knows when they'll launch an attack. So we're in a very passive position. After all, conventional force simply can't stop them."

Flame nodded and sat down on the mat used for sit-ups. As one of the few remaining members, she had undergone a considerable period of adjustment, making her arguably more mature than the later Sekirei, given that she awakened earlier and began her adjustment earlier. Because of this, she was very attentive to changes in the outside world and knew something about the Snake Organization.

Although she was restricted by internal confidentiality agreements and could not know the specific details, she was still able to know the general changes in the situation.

Sahashi Takami said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

Yan said, "Tell me what it is first. I can't guarantee that I can do anything you ask. I need to know what you want me to do first."

Sahashi Takami said, "Okay, okay, you're still as cautious as ever. Don't worry, it's not a strange request."

Sahashi Takami cleared her throat and said, "...The Snake Organization has been very rampant lately, and the Sekirei we release are easily attacked by them. I would like to ask you to take on the role of Guardian to protect the Sekirei that haven't yet molted. Of course, this is quite dangerous, and you can refuse if you find it unacceptable."

Sahashi Takami could sense that although the Punishment Team had formed a new squad and the two squads were carrying out missions simultaneously, MBI was still facing a shortage of high-end personnel.

No. Flame's strength is far greater than that of Moon Sea, who was released earlier, and he is even able to fight against members of the Punishment Team head-on.

Originally, Flame was unable to use her abilities at full power due to the instability of her physical constitution. In the past, whenever she used her abilities at full strength, her body temperature would rise sharply in less than three minutes, posing a risk of self-immolation and being killed by her own abilities.

This is precisely why, before the flaws were resolved, Homura's strength was only considered second-tier among all the Sekirei, and her endurance in prolonged battles was among the worst—high burst damage but weak sustainability. Now, however, the flaws have been resolved, and Homura can use her abilities without restriction. Her combat capabilities have truly reached the T-tier, meaning that each member of the original Punishment Squad possesses the fighting power to destroy a small country.

Of course, this average excludes Miya, the humanoid Godzilla; Miya is in a league of her own, and no other Sekirei can compare. Takami Sahashi isn't even sure if Miya can be considered a Sekirei at all.

Yan Yingqi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "I can only say that I will do my best, but I cannot guarantee that I can protect them."

Flame had some understanding of the Serpent Organization, so she didn't dare to speak definitively, because she truly wasn't confident she could accomplish such a feat.

Chapter 4. Don't work with madmen.

Homura didn't want to refuse Sahashi Takami's request outright, but she lacked the ability to fulfill the agreement. After all, she wasn't known for her mobility and sensory abilities, so it would be quite difficult for her to handle such a task.

It was precisely because she considered the limits of her own abilities that Flame did not make any definitive statements, leaving room for maneuver.

Sahashi Takami was secretly pleased. She had originally thought that Homura would refuse her request outright, since such a thing was still somewhat dangerous. Homura's strength was close to that of Raven Feather. Although there was a gap, it wasn't too much, which was why she dared to ask Homura for help.

If Homura's strength was only average, Sahashi Takami wouldn't have come here. After all, such a request is because Homura's strength is insufficient, and such a request would only harm her.

Flame said, "Of course, if I'm not the opponent, I'll inform the punishment team. The first team is a new team designed for doing things like this. As long as they don't mess up, I'll be fine."

Flame gave a thumbs-up, a confident smile on her face. She was now confident she could fight and defeat the cyborgs from the Serpent Organization. Having resolved the hidden dangers in her body, she wasn't invincible, but she was certainly not someone anyone could mess with.

Sahashi Takami wanted to complain inwardly, but the Sekirei's prejudice against the Punishment Team was impossible to erase. The Punishment Team was originally formed to protect the Sekirei, and the first Punishment Team was indeed quite respected. However, now that Karasuha had taken over, the Punishment Team's reputation among the Sekirei had plummeted to negative numbers, and the Sekirei didn't really trust the members of the Punishment Team.

Ultimately, the third-generation captain of the Punishment Squad, Karasuha, was not only inferior in strength to the first-generation captains, Miya and Yume, but also in character. He was like-minded with Mihiro and always liked to do things ruthlessly, so it was only natural that the reputation of the entire Punishment Squad plummeted.

During the first and second generations of the Punishment Squad, the Sekirei (a Japanese term for members of the MBI) regarded the Punishment Squad as their protectors, as one of their own. However, the current third-generation Punishment Squad is caught in the middle, which is why, even after the MBI already possessed a security force like the Punishment Squad, Takami Sahashi still wanted to increase the security force even further.

In addition to the Punishment Team, MBI also has a covert security force composed of wagtails. Including the two Punishment Team squads, the total number of security personnel has reached ten.

Don't underestimate the number of ten people. It's important to know that all wagtails combined, including both the regular and supplementary sequences, only number a little over a hundred. This percentage is already quite significant.

However, in Sahashi Takami's view, this was still not enough, because it wasn't just the Snake Organization that was secretly eyeing them; other organizations and forces were also eager to make a move. If MBI showed any weakness, those hyenas would definitely not let such an opportunity pass.

Therefore, it's always better to start strengthening defenses now than to try to fix things after problems arise. Flame's strength is undeniable; as a powerhouse on par with Raven Feather, if he's willing to do more besides participating in the game, the security pressure on MBI can be greatly alleviated.

Sahashi Takami breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. However, Homura, you're not a full-time member of the Punishment Squad. As a part-time member, you don't need to risk your life for missions like the Punishment Squad members do."

Flame said, "Don't think too highly of me. I'm good at running away. If I can't win, I'll call for reinforcements. After all, I can't take away Crow Feather's job, can I?"

"If you want to become the captain of the punishment team, you can do so anytime."

A slightly hoarse but pleasant voice sounded behind the two. Homura and Takami Sahashi turned around and saw Karasu slowly walking towards them.

Her long, gray hair was tied into a neat high ponytail. Her slightly narrowed eyes revealed a sharp glint in them. Her fox-like smile didn't detract from the beauty of her face; instead, it gave her a captivating yet strong charm. Tall and slender, with the headlights of a car hanging precariously in front of her, her form-fitting uniform accentuated her agile, cheetah-like figure.

Raven Feather was wearing the uniform of the first-generation Punishment Team and was not carrying any weapons.

The punishment squad's uniforms have now been updated to the third generation, but she still wears the original uniform. However, even in the old-fashioned original uniform, she still looks incredibly dashing.

However, apart from the corrupt captain, every member of the current punishment team, including the newly formed squad, is a problem child, and each of them has some degree of mental issues.

Just like the uniforms of the punishment squad, they look quite nice, unlike the old-fashioned school uniforms in China which are "ugly". However, apart from Crow Feather, none of the problem children in the punishment squad will obediently wear the uniform. They all dress and dress according to their own preferences.

As a team, and an elite Black Hand unit under the MBI, the fact that they can't even manage the most basic uniforms shows that the Sekirei of the Punishment Team have some unreliable characteristics.

Yan narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Ya Yu. To be honest, she was quite wary of the other woman. Yan considered herself a normal person, at least in terms of normal interpersonal relationships. But this beautiful woman in front of her, who resembled a fox, was an unstable factor who was already in a semi-mad state. Even if this woman didn't have a knife, she was still very dangerous. Just being near her gave Yan goosebumps all over her body.

Flame said, "A position like the captain of the punishment team is not a good job for me. Of course, I can help out as a side job. But I refuse to work under someone like you. I don't work with unpredictable people like cats because I don't know what's going on in a cat's head."
