A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Xiang said, "I don't plan to persuade her to quit drinking. Everyone has their own hobbies and interests. As long as they don't harm their health or interfere with their work because of their hobbies and interests, there's no problem."

Hibiki and her older sister Hikari are both serious people who are quite strict with themselves. However, they are also clear-headed and do not impose the same standards on their companions just because they are strict with themselves.

Li Wei said, "Actually, I don't really like drinking. I should say I'm not very good at strong liquors, like vodka, whiskey, and baijiu. I find them too harsh on my throat. My taste in alcohol is more feminine; I prefer low-alcohol drinks with a relatively mild taste."

Some people think that being able to drink is what makes a real man, but in Li Wei's opinion, sacrificing one's health to demonstrate so-called manliness is actually a huge loss. Drinking buddies only encourage people to drink to excess, but when things actually go wrong, those same drinking buddies are all the first to run away. Moreover, with changing social attitudes, urging others to drink at the dinner table has become a universally disliked behavior. More and more people are paying attention to their health, and the number of people with alcoholic liver disease is much lower than before. These days, most people who do get alcoholic liver disease don't deserve any sympathy.

Li Wei said, "Once she recovers, she can drink as much as she wants, but I still suggest that she avoid strong alcohol as much as possible. Although the sika deer's physical condition is far stronger than that of humans, it is not immune to poisons. Overeating and excessive drinking will have a negative impact on the sika deer's health."

Guang said, "It feels like Li Weijun is acting like a doctor now, giving instructions to his patients and telling them what to pay attention to."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Because in other worlds, I did indeed work as a doctor, and I even had a license. Although I didn't attend a medical school, my achievements in medicine far surpass those of ordinary people."

This is quite normal, after all, ordinary people's medical skills have their limits, while Li Wei doesn't play with medical skills, but with immortal arts. Bringing the dead back to life and healing the wounded are very simple things for him. The medical dilemmas faced by ordinary people do not exist for him. Even cancer, ALS, or congenital diseases caused by genetic defects can be completely cured by him. Apart from those futuristic science fiction worldviews or immortal cultivation worlds, the medical skills of other worlds are really child's play for Li Wei.

Just like the Naruto world he'll visit later, if Li Wei's medical skills were to reach that world, he could gain a transcendent status and become a guest of honor among nobles and various ninja villages.

Guang said, "Li Weijun, it seems like you know everything. There's nothing that can stump you."

Li Wei laughed and said, "I just have a wide range of interests and know a little about everything. I don't actually specialize in many things. It's just that you think I'm omnipotent. I'm far from being truly omniscient and omnipotent."

Li Wei wasn't being modest; he genuinely felt he still needed to learn and grow. Cultivating immortality and refining qi was inherently a process of constantly learning new knowledge, and mastering more knowledge meant becoming stronger.

Magic is indeed omnipotent, but if you don't know how to use it properly, you're just a "high-tech barbarian" swinging a gun butt and smashing people. Being a barbarian is nothing to be proud of.

Chapter 4. The Traveler's Consensus

It's not far from dinner time now. In ordinary homes, you can already see the aroma of cooking at this time. But here at Chuyun Manor, because of the food tablecloths, you can usually only smell the aroma of food right at mealtime.

The paper and wood sliding door of the living room facing the beach was opened, and girls in swimsuits squeezed into the room. Li Wei couldn't help but glance over there a few more times.

At dinner, Fuuka was present, but her maid uniform still aroused everyone's curiosity. As the eldest sister of the Sekirei order, Fuuka was quite authoritative, but this maid outfit caused everyone to have a distorted impression of her.

Although there was no alcohol at dinner, the atmosphere of the banquet was still lively. There was no fine wine, but there was delicious food, and all kinds of non-alcoholic specialty drinks were available.

The evening banquets are a specialty of Izumo Manor. The delicious dishes often involve a complex preparation process, which would be extremely tedious even with a professional culinary team. However, the food tablecloth eliminates the need for most chefs to prepare the food on-site. This saves time and effort, allowing the banquets to be held with ease.

The girls, having met the legendary "female hooligan," were all satisfied with their curiosity. However, the various questions they asked made Feng Hua, the person in question, feel awkward. Feng Hua wanted to maintain her good image in front of Li Wei, but the questions her juniors asked were increasingly tricky, practically digging into her past, leaving her at a loss for words. After racking her brains, she could only try to dodge the question and change the subject as much as possible.

By the end of the banquet, Fuuka felt extremely exhausted, as if she had just fought with members of the Snake Organization. After the banquet, the tired girl returned to her room, while the girl who wanted to continue playing went to the beach to prepare for the next party.

Under Li Wei's influence, the wagtail girls learned to enjoy life and make the most of their energy, which far exceeded that of ordinary humans. Therefore, they developed a love for sports, food, and books, and especially enjoyed lively gatherings and parties, treating every day like a festival.

After the banquet, Li Wei went to the hot spring area behind the dormitory. He lay in a small hot spring, large enough to hold only three or four people, holding a book he could barely hold. Floating on the surface of the hot spring was an enchanted tray that wouldn't sink, holding several of his favorite cold drinks. Above Li Wei was a cherry blossom tree whose flowers and leaves emitted a warm, fluorescent glow. The cherry blossoms intertwined, their soft light illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

These plants, whose leaves and flowers glow at night, are ornamental plants that Li Wei improved using magic. However, after undergoing magical improvements, some parts of these plants have mutated, acquiring various special effects. This has turned these plants into raw materials that can meet the needs of various mystical projects. Whether used for crafting weapons or refining pills, they are quite good auxiliary materials.

Soft footsteps sounded, followed by the sound of someone entering. Li Wei looked up and saw that Fuuka, wearing a swimsuit, had already entered the small hot spring pool where he was.

It has to be said that Fuka has a really good figure. Coupled with her height advantage, she looks even taller than Miya. In terms of figure alone, the only ones Sekirei can compare to her are Tsukimi and Kocho. Miya's figure is not as visually striking as Fuka's.

However, Li Wei was a man who had seen countless beauties. Although he was shocked inside, he still maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

Li Wei laughed and said, "There are many hot spring pools here, enough for everyone. Feng Hua, why did you decide to come here?"

Feng Hua felt a little shy. When she saw Li Wei sitting alone reading a book, her heart fluttered, and she wanted to get closer to him. So, without thinking too much, she simply followed her heart and came here.

Feng Hua said, "There are so many hot spring pools here, I'm almost overwhelmed with choices, and I don't know which one is more suitable for me. Seeing you here, Li Weijun, I think you must be someone who knows how to enjoy life. The hot spring pool you chose is definitely the right one."

Feng Hua, quick-witted, came up with a reasonably plausible reason. Besides, while soaking in a hot spring alone was peaceful, there was no one to talk to, which was rather unsettling. Having someone to talk to would be a good thing.

Li Wei closed the book and placed it on the edge of the stone. From the tray where the noodles were still swirling, he picked up a cup of decadent, otaku-like pleasure. Drinking cold drinks while soaking in a hot spring is, from a health perspective, wrong, but Li Wei likes to do it. When you're strong enough that you don't need to worry about your health, you can do many things according to your mood. It's like eating ice cream in the dead of winter—cold on top of cold, most people couldn't stand it, but Li Wei can do it, indulging in life as he pleases.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Learning from others' experiences is indeed a very convenient method most of the time. I'm someone who enjoys good food, and whenever I go to a new world, I always look for delicious food. Compared to those big restaurants, I prefer the small shops hidden in the streets and alleys, like panning for gold in the sand. This kind of search always gives me endless surprises. Of course, it's inevitable to make some mistakes. When I go to an unfamiliar restaurant, I usually observe what regular customers order. If it's a dish that regular customers like to order, then it means that it's unlikely to be a bad choice. However, from an outsider's perspective, this might seem like I'm a bit of a copycat."

Feng Hua wore a wry smile. She hadn't expected Li Wei to be so funny, but Li Wei's words eased her tension.

Feng Hua said, "I really envy you, Li Weijun, for being able to travel to other worlds. You must have seen many interesting landscapes and people."

Li Wei finished his cola, placed it back on the tray, and said, "Traveling is indeed a joyful thing. You can go to completely new and unknown places, explore the unknown, encounter beautiful scenery, exchange stories with local people, and collect some local souvenirs worth keeping. It's really quite fun. However, travel isn't all fun. I've also experienced worlds on the verge of destruction, or even worlds where civilization has been destroyed. I've seen people struggling to survive in ruins, and I've seen a desolate Earth that has completely lost all life, where even plants and animals have become extinct. The number of Earths in parallel universes is infinite, and all sorts of situations are possible."

Feng Hua was surprised. She hadn't expected that Li Wei had also gone through such a heavy experience. But even after all that, Li Wei still showed his most sunny side to those around him. How gentle he was!

Chapter 4. The Joys and Sorrows of Travel

Feng Hua looked at the tray that had floated to her front and, imitating Li Wei, took out a cold drink from it.

Feng Hua said, "Although we are both travelers, the places I have been to are incomparable to those of you, Li Weijun. I only fight on Earth. Although I have been to quite a few places, I haven't seen much of it."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Travel is not about completing a task, it's not about checking off a certain tourist attraction, or tasting local delicacies. Travel is about relaxing the mind and being free. There is no superior or inferior way to travel."

Li Wei is a homebody by nature. Even when he goes out to travel, he plans his own trips and acts alone. He dislikes traveling in groups because he finds it very restrictive.

Solo travel may seem lonely to some, but Li Wei enjoys this lively solitude. While everyone around him is busy with life, he can steal moments of leisure. This contrast is enough to bring him great joy.

Fuuka laughed, "That's true. As a Sekirei, I should have participated in the Sekirei Game, but when I realized the dark side of the game, the fear in my heart made me flee Japan and wander all over the world. In the end, I confined my travels to Europe, constantly traveling within Europe. What I pursue is probably the journey itself. After all, travel itself means the unknown, and the unknown means novelty. Being able to constantly encounter all kinds of new and strange things is indeed a kind of inner enjoyment."

Li Wei smiled and said, "That's what I think too. Some people like to stay in one place for a long time, build up a sense of familiarity, and make that place their comfort zone. Others, on the other hand, like novelty. Staying in a familiar place for a long time will only make them feel bored. They want to go far away and see all kinds of new things and new people. Both of them are right and have their advantages."

Feng Hua said, "Then I should belong to the first type of person. However, I am very tired now, and I can no longer muster the passion for travel. I guess I have seen too much. Travel is no longer an absolutely wonderful thing to me. This imperfection makes me feel tired."

This situation can be found in many people. For example, some people turn their hobbies into their careers. As the nature of their hobbies changes, they may succeed in their careers, but they also begin to hate their original hobbies. The more they loved them before, the more they resent them now.

Some travelers who spend long periods on the road also develop this thought: initially, each trip is a new adventure, filled with encounters with new people and things. However, as weariness gradually sets in, these people feel exhausted. They want to rest, to settle down somewhere, to find a haven where their hearts can find peace, a true sense of belonging. If they cannot obtain this, then this weariness can turn into resentment, and things they once loved can become repulsive.

Li Wei said, "I don't have such doubts, because I am a true immortal being. Time has lost its meaning for me, so I have unlimited time to try things that interest me. Every day is a new surprise for me. Moreover, I won't be completely bound to one place. As long as I want, there are endless journeys waiting for me ahead. And when I want to rest, I also have a safe haven where I can completely relax. Therefore, my mindset has always been very good. Even though I have witnessed many tragic scenes—human extinction, the destruction of civilization, the disappearance of the Earth itself, and even humanitarian disasters caused by interstellar wars—I have seen all of these. But even so, I still won't stop my journey. I love the feeling of traveling. Perhaps the journey isn't perfect, but that won't affect my love for travel."

Feng Hua felt envious. As a traveler, she really envied Li Wei's situation. Compared to others, she wasn't even a low-end version of Li Wei.

After all, the Earth is only so big, which is indeed vast for ordinary people. In addition, ordinary people have their own lives to manage, so apart from a very few, the vast majority of ordinary people will not leave the city where they work and live. As a wagtail, she possesses martial arts skills that surpass those of ordinary people, and she often does various side jobs, so her income is not a problem. Therefore, she has the money to travel around and leave her footprints all over the world.

However, after visiting almost all the tourist attractions on Earth, Feng Hua realized a problem: even if she continued to travel, it wouldn't be very meaningful. It would just be a meaningless repetition of her previous life, which she couldn't tolerate. In her view, it was a waste of life.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Wagtails do live longer than humans, but they are not immortal beings that can ignore the passage of time; wasting their lives is a shameful thing.

Furthermore, with her currently being hunted by the Snake Organization, it's impossible for her to travel the world as freely as before. Therefore, she must find other ways to live.

Fortunately, she met Li Wei.

Feng Hua whispered, "If I could travel with you, Li Weijun, that would be wonderful. That way, I could see many people and things that I can't see in this world."

.. . .......

Li Wei smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I have no objection. However, once I leave this world, I will never be able to come back. If you have people and things that you cherish in this world, then you have to be prepared to say goodbye to these cherished things forever. Not everyone has the courage to say goodbye to their hometown forever."

Feng Hua didn't feel that Li Wei's words were that serious, because there weren't many people or things in this world that she cared about. So, even if she left with Li Wei, she wouldn't feel any psychological burden or miss this world too much.

However, Feng Hua did not rush to give her answer. As a woman, she also had her own sense of propriety. They had only known each other for a short time, and if she showed such an attitude, it would make her seem too cheap.

Feng Hua hoped to gain Li Wei's attention, but her shyness prevented her from knowing how to speak. Although she had never eaten pork, she had at least seen pigs run. However, this was her first time experiencing something like this, and with no experience whatsoever, she was no more mature than an average human girl when dealing with such a situation.

Li Wei knew what Feng Hua was thinking and said, "As for me, because I have a place to go back to, I am not afraid no matter how far I go. But for those who cannot go back, traveling is a cruel thing in itself."

Feng Hua sighed, "Indeed, Li Weijun, you have a point. However, if you're with the person you love, such problems can be overcome."

Chapter 4. An Ordinary Hometown

Neither of them spoke too bluntly, but Fuka understood what Li Wei meant. Through Miyako, she already knew that Li Wei was not from this world, and Li Wei himself had also acknowledged this fact.

However, as a visitor from another world, Li Wei will leave this world after achieving his goals. Feng Hua can understand this, after all, this is not Li Wei's hometown, and it is normal for Li Wei to leave.

Feng Hua said, "Li Weijun, what is your hometown like? Another Earth, huh? I'm quite curious about that."

Li Wei said, "I've been traveling for so long, and you're the first person to pay attention to this kind of issue. Most other people are more concerned with what benefits I can bring them."

Feng Hua smiled and said, "Because I'm very curious about you, Li Weijun. I'm very curious about what kind of place could give birth to someone like you."

Li Wei said, "The answer will disappoint you. The world I grew up in is just an ordinary Earth among countless parallel universes. It is so ordinary that no extraordinary power is manifested. Humans are developing technology, but the progress is not good. We have been trying to leave Earth for decades, and we have only just reached the point where we can walk on the moon."

Li Wei wanted to complain in his heart. During the Cold War in the last century, both the United States and the Soviet Union claimed to have landed on the moon. However, after investigating and reviewing the information obtained through various means, he discovered that both major powers were just bragging. Their machines went up, but no people did. The United States even forced the astronauts who performed the mission to sign a top-secret agreement.

It is precisely because both major powers were boasting back then that now, when asked to return to the moon, they all evade the question, refusing to answer directly and unwilling to actually attempt another moon landing. As a result, the lunar minerals brought back by the US have repeatedly slapped the face of China, which has remained indifferent, while the "spiritual mules" (a derogatory term for Chinese people) are frantically trying to find all sorts of explanations and justifications for their "spiritual motherland."

Li Wei was somewhat curious about how the gods and Buddhas who no longer appeared before humans would view the two great powers' charade. Anyway, Li Wei, being the kind of person who enjoys a good show, never misses a good spectacle. As long as he can cause trouble and see the two great powers make a fool of themselves, he'll profit no matter what. That's what entertainers like.

Feng Hua found it hard to believe that Li Wei's hometown was so ordinary. Logically, only an environment of sufficient strength could give birth to a powerful individual. So, Li Wei's current situation meant that his own strength far exceeded the strength of the surrounding environment, which didn't make sense.

Just as the largest land animal is the elephant, the largest ocean animal is the whale. Due to gravity and oxygen levels, the elephant's size is already the limit for terrestrial animals on modern Earth—this demonstrates how an individual's size is influenced by its environment. The ocean, with its inherent buoyancy, allows for the birth of even larger animals, such as blue whales, fin whales, and sperm whales. Only a suitable environment can give rise to a correspondingly powerful individual; this is a common law in nature.

In an environment completely devoid of supernatural powers, it is very strange that someone like Li Wei, who possesses immense power, is so out of place with his surroundings and as an individual.

However, seeing is believing, and Li Wei truly existed before her. Although nature always follows certain rules, there are always some extraordinary individuals who are born. Therefore, although such a thing is extremely rare in terms of probability, it cannot be denied that it exists.

Feng Hua said, "It's hard to believe that your hometown, Li Weijun, is so ordinary. There's no alien technology or artificial superhumans, yet such an environment gave birth to a powerful individual like you. It's as if a superhuman appeared in the world of ordinary people."

Li Wei laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with being ordinary. At least being ordinary means there won't be any major disasters. I once went to a world, a parallel Earth. I originally planned to travel around there, but who knew that not long after I arrived, a zombie virus crisis broke out all over the world, and in the end, all human civilization on that Earth was wiped out."

Feng Hua had played the Resident Evil game and had a relatively clear understanding of zombies, so when she heard Li Wei's words, she couldn't hide the surprise on her face.

Feng Hua said, "Zombie virus? I've only ever seen such a dangerous thing in games and anime. It's a major crisis that could destroy humanity!"

Li Wei, with a "bear shrug.JPG" expression, said, "So, the humans in that world destroyed themselves because of their own folly. I could only move a few survivors to a safe place. As for the rest, I can only say that I was powerless. In the apocalypse, humanity exposed its worst traits to the fullest, which turned into an absurd and cruel black comedy for me."

Feng Hua asked curiously, "A comedy?"

Li Wei said, "Yes, it's like a comedy. For example, two groups of survivors are besieged by zombies. If they cooperate, they can fight their way out. But instead of cooperating, they sabotage each other, trying to use each other as stepping stones to buy time for their own escape. As a result, both groups are wiped out. The apocalypse amplifies the darkest and most wicked aspects of humanity. Although there are occasional glimpses of brilliance, they are swallowed up by the surrounding environment. When humanity as a whole falls into a vicious cycle of mutual harm, there is no hope of rebuilding civilization."

Feng Hua sighed and said, "It seems that being ordinary really has its advantages. Such a great disaster would be an unbearable upheaval for any world."

Li Wei said, "The zombie crisis can actually be overcome if humanity is willing to put aside prejudices and cooperate. In comparison, the war between gods and demons is a much more troublesome matter. In a certain world, I was caught up in the war between the local gods and demons. To prevent the humans of that world from becoming the gods' and demons' prey, I acted as a mercenary. Later, all sorts of messy things happened. The gods and demons severely damaged each other, almost to the point of mutual destruction. This actually benefited the humans of that world, which allowed me to leave that world with peace of mind. Anyway, the more places you go, the more strange things you encounter. The more you see, the more you like your ordinary and unremarkable hometown."

Feng Hua laughed and said, "Ordinary is pretty good too. If possible, I also hope that this world can be more ordinary."

Li Wei said, "That's exactly what I'm working towards: ending the Sekirei game and giving all the Sekirei true freedom. Hmm, that guy Mihiro seems to be up to something, but it doesn't matter. Let him do whatever he wants, as long as I ensure there aren't any major casualties among the Sekirei, that's victory."

Feng Hua laughed and said, "Thank you, but this kind of thing is thankless and exhausting for you."
