A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Seeing you all laugh without any pressure is enough for me."

Chapter 44. Unstoppable Curiosity

Li Wei stretched and said, "That's enough for tonight's story. I'm going to sleep now. Feng Hua, you'll be in your room too, right?"

Fuka looked surprised and said, "Sleeping here?!"

Li Wei laughed and said, "Yes, what's so strange about that?"

Fuka quickly said, "No, no, no, this is very strange! This is a hot spring. Even a wagtail would catch a cold if it slept here."

Li Wei gave a thumbs up and said proudly, "This modified hot spring is my masterpiece. The liquid here has special healing effects. Although it is colorless and odorless, it can effectively heal physical ailments and hidden injuries. If ordinary people soak in it for a long time, they can improve their health and prolong their lives. Of course, this level of effect is not something to be proud of. There is no need to worry about drowning in this hot spring. It is a special type of water where you can breathe even if you fall in. Even if you fall asleep in it, there will be no danger. It is just as comfortable as being in bed. Even if you soak in it for a long time, you don't have to worry about your skin wrinkling."

Feng Hua looked surprised; she hadn't expected the hot spring she was soaking in to have such a special effect. When she entered, she had only felt incredibly warm, like snuggling into a blanket—a feeling that reassured her.

Feng Hua recalled what Li Wei had said before: during his journey, in some worlds, Li Wei was regarded as a god by the local indigenous people. Being able to do such a thing, calling him a god seemed quite fitting, at least with current human technology, it was absolutely impossible to do such a thing. Even the Wagtail hadn't mentioned any such technology.

Feng Hua said, "But I still can't sleep. I really enjoy listening to your nighttime stories, Li Weijun. By the way, what's it like to be regarded as a god by the natives?"

Li Wei looked constipated and said, "How would you feel if primitive people kowtowed to you and offered you all sorts of random things as tribute? I certainly couldn't stand it. Being worshipped like that is a very heavy thing. Besides, I don't accept worship, nor do I intend to use such a method to ignite the fire of divinity. Becoming a god through faith is weak, and the weakness is obvious, making you an easy target."

Feng Hua never expected that her question would be answered. What surprised her most was that Li Wei would say that "gods" are weak, and that he could become a "god" at any time if he wanted to. Such a person was indeed surprising.

Feng Hua said, "God? This lofty term gives the feeling of being above ordinary people."

Li Wei said, "Yes, many people have advised me to become a god, but the reason I am where I am now is because I firmly believe that I am human. Human potential is limitless, while gods do not have such potential. So, I tell myself that I am just a human being, and I should always stand on the side of humanity."

Li Wei's words were indeed heartfelt. During conversations, it's easy to slip up and reveal one's innermost thoughts. While Li Wei is very good at controlling his emotions, he occasionally lets slip non-critical secrets when talking to his partner. However, looking back, these slips of the tongue might actually strengthen their relationship, so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Fuka smiled with relief, closed her eyes, and sank herself into the hot spring, leaving only her head above water, letting her head soak in the hot spring.

Li Wei's words made her feel like she was being protected, and that feeling was quite nice.

Li Wei sighed inwardly, realizing that he could be considered an extremely wicked person. However, when faced with choices between gods and humans, or humans and demons, he would firmly stand on the side of humanity. Perhaps this was why he was categorized as belonging to the evil camp.

Humanism and human supremacy might be a choice that other extraordinary individuals would ridicule, but Li Wei could bear such ridicule. He simply believed that humans were the most awesome, and gods and demons should all step aside.

Fuuka laughed and asked, "Are wagtails considered human?"

Li Wei said, "That's true. Wagtails can laugh, they can cry, they can empathize with their companions, and they can worry about the suffering of people far away. That's human nature. Humans are not just the outer skin, but the heart. Only those who have a heart are human; those who don't are just beasts in human skin."

Li Wei was somewhat surprised that he had revealed his political leanings in a chat. Perhaps it was the novelty of chatting with a relatively unfamiliar girl that led him to expose his information.

Li Wei leaned down a little, leaving only his head sticking out of the water, and said, "Goodnight, Fuuka."

Although Feng Hua was reluctant to part ways and wanted to continue listening to Li Wei's stories, Li Wei was ready to rest, and continuing to pester him would only make her seem immature.

Feng Hua stood up, wrapped the bath towel next to her around herself, and said, "Next time you must tell me about all the interesting things you encountered on your journey, Li Weijun. For now, I won't disturb your rest."

Li Wei said, "It's not just me, you also need to rest. Although I've treated your external injuries, your internal injuries still require rest. During this time, you need to exercise less and rest more."

After Feng Hua left, Li Wei immersed himself in the hot spring, enjoying this rare time alone.

When Li Wei woke up, it was already seven o'clock the next morning. After a simple breakfast, Li Wei took the two sisters, Guang and Xiang, out the door. Although there were only two of them with him, the team channel set up by Hu Die was very lively, with the girls using it like a chat room. However, this did not affect their business. As Hu Die's strength improved, her abilities became more and more comprehensive, and opening a dedicated mission channel for one-on-one communication was a very simple matter for her.

Besides Hu Die, Song also stayed at his post, hacking into MBI's dedicated satellite in geostationary orbit to monitor the situation in the entire Eastern Capital. Whenever there was any disturbance, Li Wei's side could receive intelligence support in the first instance.

Matsu: (Team communications are working fine. My latest news is that Flame is ready to go. He'll be traveling in a special transport vehicle from the MBI building's underground parking garage, but his destination is currently unknown.)

Chapter 4. The Troublesome Current Situation

Hikaru: (MBI is becoming increasingly cautious. The final destination might be decided on short notice. Even if you want to monitor them, you'll be misled by false information.)

Matsu: (That's possible. After all, all's fair in war. Even though Mihiro isn't exactly mentally sound, he still knows these things.)

Li Wei: (Song, as long as you can track the transport vehicle, and know its general direction of movement, I have a way to conduct a detailed search.)

Li Wei and the Guangxiang sisters hopped on a sidecar motorcycle. Since they didn't know where the other side would eventually stop, they decided to treat it as a ride. The two sisters seemed to enjoy this treatment. After all, Li Wei was usually surrounded by women, and neither of them liked overly noisy atmospheres, so they both cherished this time alone.

Hikari sat behind Li Wei, put on the helmet that was lying beside her, and leaned against him. Hibiki jumped into the sidecar, but she also obediently put on her helmet. Although for the three of them, the helmets were just decorations, and even if an accident occurred, the three of them could use their strong mobility to take emergency evasive action in the moment of an accident, riding without helmets would easily attract the attention of traffic police.

Li Wei started the motorcycle, and with a steady, not-too-harsh roar, the sidecar drove out of the parking space and left Chuyun Village.

Li Wei pulled down his goggles, and dressed in a leather jacket and jeans, he gave off an indescribable retro vibe, like a cowboy from the last century who had traveled through time to the modern era.

Li Wei felt the softness against his back, looked up slightly at the clear blue sky, and said happily, "Riding a bike is much more fun than driving. When I have the chance in the future, I'll get a small motorcycle, bring all kinds of tents and equipment, and go camping without using my spatial abilities. That might be really fun."

Having mastered extraordinary powers, Li Wei can maintain his quality of life no matter how harsh the environment. However, using magic would be pointless, like using cheat codes in a single-player game, quickly ruining the fun.

Li Wei recalled an anime he had once watched, Laid-Back Camp. This anime tells the story of several girls and camping. The plot didn't have many ups and downs or any dramatic twists and turns, but this kind of slow-paced anime, which seemed to appeal to older people, was a kind of healing for him at the time.

It was through Swaying Camp that Li Wei developed an interest in camping. Moreover, on the floating island, he had tried camping without using magic, relying solely on his physical abilities. Although it made doing various things more troublesome, this trouble itself was a kind of fun.

Li Wei wasn't the kind of lazy person who, after acquiring various magical abilities, would completely lose the will to move around. For him, labor was also a way to experience life.

Guang pressed his face against Li Wei's back and said, "We've never been camping before. We used to stay on God's Throne Island, and then we were sent to various research institutes. We've spent most of our lives in those two places. I've only ever seen camping on TV and in books."

Hibiki said, "Let's go camping after the Sekirei game is over."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Okay, but camping is a very troublesome thing. There is a lot of prior knowledge to learn. I have some books about camping, as well as various camping equipment. If you want to avoid being flustered when camping, you will have to learn a lot."

Hibiki laughed and said, "I'm quite confident in my learning ability. I can even pass those messy intellectual challenges in the research institute. All I need is knowledge about camping. Bring it on!"

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's good to have confidence, but there's quite a bit of knowledge required for camping. Even though wagtails have a learning ability far superior to humans, it will still take a considerable amount of time to master all of this knowledge."

Knowledge related to wilderness survival, while seemingly simple, actually requires considerable time and practice to master. Even he, without using magic, suffered setbacks on his first attempt at camping.

The sidecar moved forward unhurriedly on the road. Li Wei kept an eye on the team's communication channel, the dedicated team communication channel. Song Jiang kept updating the images captured by the satellite and locking onto the real-time location of the transport vehicle. However, after circling around for several hours, the other side showed no sign of stopping.

Left with no other choice, Li Wei took the two sisters to find a place to eat first, and after solving the lunch problem, they continued to track the transport truck.

In fact, Flame, who was inside the transport vehicle, felt just as uncomfortable and troublesome as he did; she also felt a bit carsick.

Inside the transport vehicle, Yan ate something despite feeling nauseous from motion sickness. The motion sickness medicine she had taken beforehand had already taken effect, preventing her from embarrassingly vomiting in the vehicle.

Flame looked at Raven Feather with a somewhat grim expression and said, "When can we stop?"

Crow Feather was secretly delighted. Flame, who had been so aloof before, was now so disheveled due to motion sickness. The contrast between their previous demeanor and her current state made her want to whistle with joy. However, revealing her true thoughts at this moment might lead to a fight, so Crow Feather could only keep her smug to herself while maintaining a serious expression on the surface.

Raven Feather said, "There should be two or three more hours. The other decoys are already running around. Once they've attracted attention, we'll let you off the bus. As for you, I can just accompany you personally."

MBI has now slowed down the release of wagtails, averaging one wagtail every three days. The wagtails have all been informed that they only have three days to find their own reed shoots. If they cannot find their reed shoots within three days, they will return to MBI, and then other wagtails will come out to find their own reed shoots, while they will continue to take turns applying.

This is unavoidable. Most of the Sekirei now know that the Snake Organization is only interested in Sekirei that haven't yet molted. Even if a molted Sekirei offers itself up, it will be rejected with a look of disdain.

Therefore, the wagtails do not have enough time to find their reed shoots, and several wagtails have had to return to MBI because they failed to find their reed shoots within the specified time.

Chapter 4. Those with Fate

Yan said, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when it's time to park."

Yan is feeling extremely uncomfortable right now. Her sensitivity to changes in the external environment is usually an advantage for her, but when traveling by various means of transportation, this advantage becomes a disadvantage, preventing her from maintaining her best combat readiness. If she were attacked at this time, it would be difficult for her to mount an effective counterattack.

Ya Yu pressed his earpiece, a pleased smile spreading across his face, and said, "The Snake Organization has made their move. Unfortunately, they didn't guess us this time; their decoy transport vehicle has been destroyed."

Yan's eyes widened, and she asked, "Then where are the people in the car?"

Raven Feather said, "Of course, they'll be wiped out. The Snake Organization isn't easy to deal with. They'll be furious to find out they've been tricked. Don't worry, everyone who participated in the mission did so voluntarily, and they all receive generous compensation. You don't need to worry about their families having financial difficulties. MBI is quite generous in this regard."

Flame suppressed his anger and said, "If they want to come looking for me, then let them come. Using tactics like decoys will only increase casualties. They won't give up until they find me."

Raven Feather said, "Since you know about this, then don't let the sacrifices of the bait go to waste. So, the only thing you can do is find your reed shoot within three days, and then they will stop watching you."

Flame felt a surge of resentment. Because of her actions, innocent bystanders had been injured or killed, something she, with her strong sense of justice, found hard to accept. But there was nothing she could do now but wait for news. She only had three days to find her beloved Reed Sprout; if she missed this opportunity, she would have to return to MBI, which would be incredibly troublesome.

However, finding one's true love within three days is no easy task either. In a vast sea of ​​people, the probability of finding one's soulmate in a megacity with over 20 million people is as small as winning the lottery.

----------

Meanwhile, Li Wei and the two sisters, Guangxiang and Li Wei, rode their bikes around for almost the entire day. Finally, the real transport vehicle quickly dropped off Yan and Crow Feather in Shinagawa Ward and then sped away.

At this moment, neither Flame nor Crow Feather were wearing the strange clothes that wagtails often wore. Both of them were dressed in very ordinary office lady outfits, just like two salespeople going out to run sales tasks.

Flame looked at Raven Feather in his uniform and said, "You look much more normal now, just like an ordinary office worker."

Ya Yu laughed and said, "If I could, I would really like to be an ordinary office worker, start a family with Yui, and then adopt a girl. That kind of life would be perfect."

Yan said, "You still haven't been able to move on from the past. While being nostalgic isn't necessarily a bad thing, your nostalgia will drag other people into it."

Ya Yu laughed and said, "If you had experienced something like this, you wouldn't be telling me this here. You might even be more extreme than me. Don't disbelieve me, many people are like this; they only know the pain when the stone hits their own foot."

Flame didn't say anything more. Right now, her most important task was to find her Reed Sprout. Although she was disguised and wearing special equipment that could suppress the unique biological wavelengths of the Wagtail, making her less likely to be exposed, such disguise had its limits. If left unchecked, the Snake Organization would notice something amiss, thus attracting their combat personnel.

Even a mighty tiger can't withstand a wolf, and Yan didn't want to get himself surrounded unless absolutely necessary.

Ya Yu clapped his briefcase and said, "I noticed you were really carsick earlier. Let's find a place to rest first."

Yan nodded, not intending to force herself on this matter, since her stomach was still a bit upset. She had almost thrown up in the car earlier, and the result of forcibly holding it back was that her stomach was still hurting.

Raven Feather said, "Let's find a hotel nearby and stay there. Then we'll disguise ourselves as salesmen and search the area. I think with your senses, you should be able to find your reed shoot quickly."

Wagtails possess a unique sensory ability, enabling them to sense their "soulmate" from a great distance. This is the "destiny" that belongs to the wagtail, and it is through this ability that the wagtail can find its own reed shoot in the vast sea of ​​people.

Flame's eyes suddenly widened, and she said with a surprised expression, "I can feel it! My destined one is very close, probably nearby!"

Raven Feather also wore an expression of disbelief, saying, "No way! What a coincidence! We've only been landed for a few minutes, and we've already completed the mission?"

Raven Feather was still a little unaccustomed to it. She had originally thought that the task would take two or three days to complete, but she didn't expect that it would be settled in less than a few minutes after landing. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so like Flame, she couldn't control her expression.

Yan said, "I need to confirm whether this destined person is truly my destined one."

The wagtail and the reed shoot have a two-way selection process. Although a unique rapport exists between them, it does not mean that the wagtail must choose the reed shoot that has formed the rapport. The wagtail will use its own methods to observe whether the reed shoot meets its requirements. Only after everything is clear will the wagtail choose to enter into a contract.

Because some wagtails have fallen into traps before, and learned from those mistakes, subsequent wagtails will be more careful when facing such important matters, to avoid being deceived by people with ulterior motives.

Ya Yu said, "In that case, let's see what kind of person this destined person you mentioned is."

At this moment, Li Wei stopped his sidecar.
