"Is that so?!" Bo Island was somewhat incredulous.
Li Wei said, "So I suggest you wear this outfit. Anyway, I've already wiped out that Harmony Cult, so no one will bother you even if you wear this outfit. It will also provide some protection for you since you can't access supernatural powers for the time being, so that you won't be taken down and kidnapped by the other side in one move if you encounter danger."
Looking at her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window as she sailed out to sea off the island of Po, she was breathtakingly beautiful in her religious attire, like a figure from a painting.
Li Wei continued, "Besides its excellent defensive capabilities, this set of clothes also has a self-cleaning ability. It not only ensures your own cleanliness but also allows you to say goodbye to showering and washing your hair... As long as you wear this, you can always maintain the most refreshing state." Listening to Li Wei's explanation, Bo Island was also somewhat tempted to go out to sea. Although this religious robe belonged to that cult, it was undeniably a treasure.
Li Wei certainly didn't want to see Bo Island take off this meticulously crafted "formal attire" before setting sail. This suit could be considered the culmination of his current technical skills; in those low-magic worldviews, it could even be considered a "divine artifact."
The.
The design of this religious gown borrows elements from wedding dresses in many ways. From the magnificent skirt and the lace openwork stockings at the back, to the Lolita-style tulle sleeves and the semi-transparent pure white veil draped with numerous tassels, the influence of wedding dresses is evident.
A dress like this, without the added weight-reducing spell, would weigh five to seven pounds. In hot weather, it would be incredibly stuffy, making it a real challenge for any girl. However, thanks to the spell, this elaborate and gorgeous dress weighed less than a t-shirt for the trip to Po Island. She didn't feel any weight at all. Furthermore, the dress's built-in temperature control function kept her body temperature at a comfortable level, even in 2.7°C weather, providing a degree of protection against heat and cold.
Li Wei said, "Although this outfit is indeed quite eye-catching, compared to safety, being eye-catching is just a harmless byproduct." Hashima Izumi blushed and said, "Wearing this at a comic convention wouldn't be out of place. But do I have to wear it like this in everyday life?" Li Wei said seriously, "If you don't want to go through what happened before, I advise you not to take this outfit off so easily."
"Oh." Bo Island didn't say anything more after setting sail, because Levi was ultimately doing it for her own good. Besides, if the dress had a built-in cleaning function, there was no need to worry about it getting dirty; even for everyday wear, it wouldn't be a problem.
Chapter 138. The New Puppet
As she sailed out to sea from Po Island, she noticed that Levi was watching her intently. Coupled with the alluring and seductive aura she exuded in her dress, she blushed with embarrassment.
"Li Weijun, could you please stop staring at me? It's embarrassing," Bodao Chuhai said softly.
"I'm checking this dress for any hidden doors, since it's from the Xie Sect. But after checking it, I found it to be perfectly safe, with no hidden dangers," Li Wei said seriously.
Now it was Po Island's turn to feel embarrassed about going out to sea. It turned out that Levi was checking the safety of the dress, not what she thought.
Li Wei said, "The person who made this dress is definitely a master. Even I can't find anything that needs to be modified. It's too perfect. Even a slight change could affect the overall performance of the dress. The person who made this dress is truly amazing."
Anyway, those who went to sea from Po Island didn't know the truth, so Li Wei was just like a peddler praising his own wares.
What Li Wei was most satisfied with about this suit was not its performance, but its ascetic beauty, a kind of holy yet charming temperament that hit his sweet spot.
Moreover, although Hashima Izumi is not very old, her figure is comparable to that of Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hyodo Michiru, who are several years older than her. I really don't know if this girl drinks papaya milk every day. Her figure is enough to make Eriri cry.
The body-enhancing underwear that Li Wei had in his hand hadn't been delivered to Eriri yet. After all, Eriri had just experienced the grief of losing her father, and it would be too inappropriate for him to suddenly pull out a set of underwear at that time.
"You should rest at home and not wander around. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit," Li Wei said.
"You're going out again so soon after you just got back?" Bo Island now sees Li Wei as her lifeline; she feels insecure without him by her side.
"What if bad guys come to arrest me while you're not here?" Bodao asked hurriedly.
Li Wei said, "Don't worry, I've set up a lot of defensive arrays in the apartment. This is the core of the entire defensive array. It can withstand a nuclear explosion head-on, but ordinary attacks can't break through this defense."
Although Li Wei did not discover any extraordinary powers in this world, and even the so-called Harmony Cult was just a self-directed performance, he still made the most comprehensive defenses of his residence for basic security reasons.
Bo Island nodded. Since Li Wei had already said so, she wouldn't say anything more.
"Li Weijun, is there something important you need to do before you go out?" Bodao asked.
“Go deal with some issues. There’s more than just one cult lurking in Tokyo. Those who haven’t mastered supernatural powers can be left alone. But those cults that have mastered supernatural powers are causing enormous damage to society,” Li Wei said with a serious expression.
After thinking about it, Bo Island realized that what Li Wei said was indeed true; she herself was the best example.
"Go for it, Li Wei! You must wipe out those villains!" Hashima Izumi clenched her little fist, cheering Li Wei on.
Li Wei nodded, then lightly leaped from the balcony, soaring higher and higher until he reached the balcony railing. Watching Li Wei's figure gradually disappear as he sailed out to sea from Po Island, he could only pray for him in his heart.
After leaving the apartment, Li Wei quickly arrived at his destination, a villa in the port area, and appeared in the target's bedroom.
At this moment, Li Wei was enjoying a live demonstration of group sex, except that the male protagonist's appearance was rather cringe-worthy. An over-eighty-year-old fat man was battling three young girls who looked to be under twenty.
"Tsk tsk, a pear tree in full bloom overshadowing a crabapple tree, what a delightful sight!" Li Wei suddenly spoke up, startling the old man so much that he immediately sat up straight. Even the three girls turned pale, nervously wrapping themselves in their blankets and searching around for the person who had spoken.
Li Wei materialized and appeared before the old man. Amidst the old man's terrified gaze, he placed his hand on the old man's forehead. The old man, out of the corner of his eye, noticed that the three girls beside him had already fainted.
"I won't ask for your permission." Li Wei's expression at this moment seemed somewhat sinister.
"Spare me, spare me! I'll give you anything you want, please, let me go!" The old man, his head throbbing with pain, looked at Li Wei, who was emitting black smoke, and knew that he had provoked an extraordinary being. Faced with a monster that was beyond his comprehension, he could only beg for mercy.
"Why should I spare you? If I control you, everything you have is mine," Li Wei laughed.
The old man was physically weaker and was nothing compared to the yakuza master and leader of the Harmony Cult who trained regularly. Under Li Wei's influence, he couldn't even last ten seconds before his soul was formatted.
Li Wei had already read the old man's memories. In his youth, the old man was quite a figure, daring and daring in the business world, building a vast commercial empire from humble beginnings. Unfortunately, as he grew old, his ambitions were lost, and without any offspring, he became conservative and senile, only thinking about enjoying himself to the fullest before he died.
“I will continue your ambitions. It would be a real waste not to make use of such a large business empire.” Li Wei released his grip, and the puppet, which had not yet been controlled by the thought circuits, slumped down and fell onto the large bed.
The puppet's originally aging body began to regain its youth under the influence of spiritual power, and its physical attributes were also greatly enhanced.
Li Wei pulled the puppet into his sea of consciousness and, taking advantage of the time difference between the sea of consciousness and the outside world, began to make sweeping modifications to this important puppet.
This puppet is very important to Li Wei, as it is the core figure in his wealth accumulation. This somewhat obese old man is a "big shot" who can indirectly influence the Japanese economy. It can be said that if the old man were to act ruthlessly, he could completely cripple those traditional conglomerates. With such a disguise, Li Wei can collect gold and jade more quickly.
The modification took far longer than the previous powerful puppet because its physical foundation was simply too poor. Furthermore, the high-precision, in-depth modification involved a much higher level of precision than the previous puppet, naturally requiring significantly more time.
Chapter 139. Your Emperor Has Returned
After completing the modifications to the puppet, Li Wei took it and left the consciousness space.
Although I stayed in the consciousness space for more than an hour, only a few seconds passed in the outside world.
The puppet, now fully modified, opened its eyes and stood up.
"Hmph, this fragile body is truly unbearable. I, an old man, am now a being who stands above gods and Buddhas, yet I am trapped in this aging body," the puppet said in an aged voice.
The puppet's former self had a dull and lewd gaze, but the current puppet's eyes are as sharp as a hawk's, and its serious expression, along with the marks of time on its face, gives it endless majesty.
Being in a high position for a long time can create a sense of inexplicable oppression. Although this oppression has no effect on the person in question, it is enough for ordinary people.
When modifying the puppet, Li Wei didn't deliberately enhance its supernatural power. He only optimized its physique and equipped it with two homemade magical artifacts for self-defense to prevent assassination. However, the modification wasn't entirely devoid of supernatural power; Li Wei himself added "aura" to the puppet.
The spiritual energy stored within this puppet allows it to maintain an aura similar to a "threatening halo" for an extended period, causing those around it to be unconsciously intimidated by its imposing presence.
In other words, it's somewhat like Conqueror's Haki from One Piece, except it doesn't have direct destructive power.
Li Wei gave the two puppets different roles. The previous extreme master was just a consumable, so the modification was quite rough. However, the old man puppet possessed "Conqueror's Haki," which had extremely demanding conditions for use. Therefore, Li Wei was extra careful when constructing the spiritual energy circuits within this puppet's body.
The spiritual energy circuit within the old man's puppet is much more delicate than that of the ultimate master's puppet, but its complexity is several times greater.
Li Wei nodded in satisfaction. The old man puppet, as long as it conceals its aura, is almost the same as before it was modified. Even the closest people would find it difficult to detect the change.
Looking at the somewhat overweight old man puppet, Li Wei had already prepared a method to help the puppet lose weight. Spiritual energy itself was the best weight loss medicine. As long as the old man puppet pretended to exercise for a period of time, its body shape would naturally become more balanced, and then it would gradually become stronger.
If the puppet's transformation is too drastic, it could easily arouse unnecessary suspicion. After all, this puppet, named Da Yuan Pinglong, is a ruthless figure capable of influencing the entire nation. Every move the puppet makes is being watched closely. Many are waiting for him to die of old age. Those vultures dare not directly confront the commercial empire the puppet has built, and can only rely on the power of time to erase this once-miraculous business genius.
Although the puppet's predecessor was a business genius who built a vast business empire spanning multiple fields from scratch, he also had a major disadvantage: he had no relatives to rely on, unlike the noble families who could use their family's power to expand their influence as much as possible.
With no successor and death looming ever closer, the puppet's predecessor fell into despair and began indulging in pleasure. Even with its business empire shrinking across the board, the puppet's predecessor still made other conglomerates wary, forced to wait for it to die of old age. Only after its natural death did they dare to step in and divide the vast business empire it had built.
But now, under Li Wei's control, the puppet has gained a certain degree of immortality, and those conglomerates that wanted to outlive the puppet will be disappointed.
Li Wei chose Da Yuan Pinglong because this self-made business genius had no relatives and no constraints, allowing him to perfectly control his business empire, unlike those family businesses where even if the core figures are turned into puppets, they cannot control the company as easily as they would their own.
For a lone wolf like the puppet's predecessor to rise to prominence in a feudal country like Japan, where lineage is highly valued, is an absolute miracle, an unrepeatable case. It is precisely for this reason that Li Wei chose this ruthless character as the basis for the puppet.
Li Wei and the old puppet stared at each other, like complete strangers.
"I'll leave the money-making to you, my other self," Li Wei said with a calm smile.
"Of course I know. After all, you are me and I am you. Isn't it me who's really busy?" The puppet revealed a dignified smile that could frighten a child to tears.
Li Wei smiled, said nothing more, erased the memories of the three unconscious girls from the last few minutes, and then left.
Li Wei felt that his thought processes were not quite enough. In order to maintain high-intensity computing power while controlling more puppets, he had to find a way to increase the number of his thought processes.
However, this kind of thing cannot be resolved overnight, and Li Wei can only continue his cultivation, hoping to gain more benefits from the "Yellow Emperor's Flying Scripture".
Just after Li Wei left the room, the puppet ignored the three girls who were still unconscious, grabbed the phone on the bedside table, and dialed a number.
The phone was answered after only a few rings. "Boss V, what can I do for you?"
"Tonegawa, notify all major shareholders that I'm holding a shareholders' meeting." "Boss, when?" "Tomorrow."
"Huh?! Tomorrow? That's way too rushed!"
"They can come or not, if they don't want to come, just tell them to get lost." "Boss... isn't that a bit much?"
(No, Zhao Hao) "Tonegawa, your emperor has returned." "Boss... Boss! I'll get right on it!"
The middle-aged man, called Tonegawa, suddenly became agitated, and the sound of something being overturned could be heard from the other end.
"I will purge the parasites and bring this decaying empire back to its peak. The entire nation will tremble at my return." The puppet's voice was old and deep, like that of a returning king, full of domineering spirit.
After hanging up the phone, the puppet started changing his clothes. He had a lot to do and no time to indulge in pleasure. For the sake of gold and jade, the value of this business empire had to be fully utilized. Japan was very lucrative; a little squeezing would yield a lot of profit.
The main body can slack off, but the puppet doesn't have that luxury. After all, how can the person behind the scenes be the same as the one who executes the task?
Chapter 140. Became the Supreme Emperor of the Underground Empire
For the next two days, things were peaceful on Li Wei's side. Bo Dao Chu Hai had already integrated into everyone's lives. Bo Dao Chu Hai, with her tragic background, received everyone's pity. Having nowhere else to go, she joined the big family.
However, Izumi Hashima also faced some troubles. Her dress seemed to have a will of its own and refused to let her wear any other clothes, making it impossible for her to wear her school uniform. Helpless, she could only go to school in this dress, which caused some minor trouble.
Li Wei had the puppet arrange two private cars for the family to travel in. Compared to the previous puppet from the extreme sect, this old puppet's power was much greater, so mobilizing two cars was just a drop in the ocean.
The old man's influence extends across the globe, and his name can be found on the shareholder lists of many of the world's largest corporations and emerging technology companies.
The Japanese experienced a lost thirty years, but this only applies to ordinary people. For business tycoons like Puppet, it was merely a matter of moving investments from Japan to foreign countries. Only ordinary people suffered losses. The Japanese elites, on the other hand, not only did not suffer any losses during the economic crisis, but their assets actually multiplied several times, even ten times.
