A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Hu Die raised her head and smiled, "It's alright, I was just reading a romance novel. The books you brought from another world are really interesting, but I didn't expect your library to contain romance novels like this."

Li Wei's consciousness space library is divided into an inner layer and an outer layer. The outer layer contains relatively harmless knowledge that can be opened to all partners. Each partner can borrow and use spell-replicated temporary reading books. The inner layer contains various relatively dangerous spells, as well as some books that Li Wei considers to be forbidden arts. They are extremely dangerous and could cause one's soul to dissipate if one is not careful.

Hu Die hasn't taken that final step with Li Wei yet, so she hasn't transformed from a wagtail into Li Wei's companion and hasn't acquired the physique of a Qi cultivator, naturally lacking magical power. Once she possesses magical power, she won't need to use "Book Intent," a lower-level substitute for magical power, to cast spells.

Li Wei said, "That library is where I store all sorts of miscellaneous books. It's a really big library, and I will open it to you later. It contains knowledge collected from various worlds, as well as records about local customs and traditions. In addition, there are various films and TV series. Through those, you can learn about the customs, traditions, and social culture of other worlds."

With a curious glint in her eyes, Hu Die said, "After the Sekirei game is over, we'll be able to go to your private world, sir!"

Li Wei nodded. The wagtails already knew that he had his own private world, and they were all quite excited about going there.

Chapter 4. Leisure Time

Li Wei looked at the people playing cards, and the smile on his face froze instantly, because Yan and Song's faces and upper bodies were covered with white paper strips, making them look like Yetis from the Himalayas.

"Loss! Keep fighting, you're no match for me!" Song said in a muffled voice. Because her face was covered with paper strips, her expression was completely obscured, but Li Wei could tell that she wasn't in good shape.

"The one who should surrender is Matsu-senpai! Fusion Summon! Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight! You're finished, senpai!" Homura slammed the card in his hand on the table with a "thud".

"Whoa!" Song fell backward, and the cards in his hand flew out.

Li Wei was stunned. Good heavens, they really were playing cards. Hong Die didn't stop, and Song really had a big heart. Li Wei looked at the cards Song had dropped on the tatami mat. Hmm, naughty fairy star, he deserved to be beaten.

Players of the Mischievous Stars game should land face-first and deserve to be beaten. Li Wei recalled his own experience of being disgusted by Mischievous Stars in online battles. Although he has now quit the game, he still feels happy to see Mischievous Stars players get their comeuppance.

This kind of card game is much more mentally taxing than regular card games. After all, calculating the chain of effects, adapting to the situation, and countering the opponent's moves are all very mentally taxing. When playing games, Li Wei used to only feel hand fatigue when playing League of Legends, but when playing online card games like Hearthstone or Game King, he felt like his head was about to explode, like he had a migraine.

Li Wei said, "These are my game cards that I kept in the storage room. I didn't expect you to find them. However, I don't remember explaining the rules to you."

Song sat up and said, "There's a rulebook in the card box. We studied it and figured out the basic rules in just over ten minutes, but there are still some parts of the Master Rules that we don't quite understand. Speaking of which, this kind of game must be very popular in your hometown, Li Weijun."

Li Wei nodded and said, "That's true. The official website sells more than 1.4 billion cards every year for this kind of game. This game has been around for more than ten years, and the official website has now sold more than 40 billion cards."

Song began to tear off the paper strip from his face and said, "These are truly outrageous figures. If these figures are true, then this card game must be the most popular card game in your home world, Li Weijun."

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "Probably."

Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering are actually quite good, just not as outrageous in terms of stats as Yu-Gi-Oh!, but both are good games. As for the rising star Gwent, it's not bad either; at least when Levi played The Witcher, he turned Wild Hunt into a gambling frenzy.

Li Wei sat cross-legged and said, "It's been so quiet these past few days. The MBI and the Snake Organization are fighting to the death, but we don't have much to do here."

The only Sekirei that Li Wei wants now are Yui, Kuno, and Kusa, but MBI is releasing Sekirei one by one, and they haven't gotten their turn yet.

However, MBI is already preparing for the third phase of the game, the Grand Tournament. Mihiro is preparing to expose the existence of the Sekirei to the entire world. This will turn what was originally known only to the top officials of various countries into a global public knowledge. Once this immense emotional power is channeled, Mihiro could reap huge benefits from it.

That said, utilizing the power of emotions is something that has been done for a long time. Those gods who collect faith are collecting the emotions they need, then transforming these emotions into power to solidify their foundations and build their divine kingdoms. In a sense, the power of emotions is also a very versatile form of energy.

Unfortunately, this power does not belong to the ultimate user; its origin lies with those who provide emotions, or rather, believers. If the believers cannot provide sufficient emotional energy, the individual who ascends to the throne using emotional energy will fall into a state of weakness. This limitation leads Li Wei to scoff at emotional energy.

Only those who want to take shortcuts choose this path that could easily lead to disaster. Taking shortcuts is taking a longer route, and taking a longer route is taking shortcuts. Steady and solid training may not make you a successful person overnight, but it avoids the risk of disaster that you face at any moment.

Song said, "The next few targets are still in their respective research institutes. But speaking of which, why doesn't the Snake Organization attack those wagtails that are still in the adjustment phase? And this organization, in some ways, actually has a bottom line. It's quite a contradictory entity."

Li Wei crossed his arms, a thoughtful expression on his face. How could he possibly reveal the truth? The reason he didn't attack the wagtails that were still adjusting was because he was afraid the situation would completely spiral out of control, causing his strategy to fail.

In such a chaotic situation, it would be extremely troublesome to devise a stable new plan, and Li Wei naturally did not want to add unnecessary difficulties for himself.

Li Wei said, "Perhaps what they want is a wagtail that has already completed its adjustment, is in good physical condition, and is still in the form of a fledgling that hasn't yet molted. Too early or too late wouldn't meet their requirements. Think about the wagtails that have fallen into their hands; weren't they all like that?"

Matsu said, "While being picky about food is bad, I actually agree with it in this kind of situation. At least it can prevent more Sekirei from being attacked. I used to dislike the Third Generation Punishment Team, but... what they've been doing lately deserves a shout-out to them. Without their efforts, more Sekirei would fall into the hands of the Snake Organization."

Homura tore off the strips of paper from her body and face and said, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of opinion about the Third Generation Punishment Team now, senior. Before this, you hated the Third Generation Punishment Team?"

Matsu pouted and said, "I mainly hate that pervert Karasu. You know, she's mentally unstable and always says and does dangerous things. I knew she had a problem back in the first Punishment Squad days, and sure enough, after Yume left, she went completely insane, even worse than before."

Flame nodded. It was indeed regrettable what happened to Yui, but she was gone, and Crow Feather was still dwelling on the past. To be honest, it was really pitiful.

Chapter 44. The first phase is about to end.

Li Wei, who can read minds, can naturally know what Yan is thinking. However, the tragedy of Ya Yu is caused by many factors. Ya Yu has not found his real enemy. Instead, he is arguing over trivial matters. To be honest, Li Wei finds it quite ridiculous.

So many years have passed since the incident with Jie Nu. In that much time, the truth would probably have been uncovered by now. She could use the information she obtained to eliminate all the people behind the infiltration plan on Shenzuo Island.

But Crowfeather didn't do that; instead, she remained stagnant. In Li Wei's view, this was what was called learned helplessness. Precisely because of this, others would sympathize with Crowfeather, but Li Wei wouldn't. Li Wei would slap her awake, letting her know how she should take revenge. Even if revenge left her empty, it was still better than doing nothing.

Footsteps echoed from the stairs. Uranium Girl, dressed in a cool short-sleeved top, stretched and came down. At home, Uranium Girl often wore only a tank top and hot pants, exuding summer charm. However, with the outer courtyard transformed into a sunny beach environment, this kind of clothing made it convenient to go to the beach anytime, which could be considered a lazy and convenient way to dress.

Li Wei looked at the yawning Uranium Girl and asked, "How long did you play games tonight?"

Uranium Girl's eyelids were still drooping, and she said weakly, "It's only for one night. Li Wei, the game you brought is so much fun. If you're not careful, several hours will be gone."

Uranium Girl approached Li Wei and sat directly on his lap, like a clingy big cat, refusing to leave his arms.

"He's just like a little kid," Li Wei remarked.

When a child acts cute, it only makes them seem adorable. But for a grown woman like Uranium Girl to snuggle into his arms, whether she's cute or not is another matter. Li Wei just felt a fire burning in his lower abdomen. This girl is always oblivious to her own charm and often does things like this that make him unable to tolerate her.

It's the persona Li Wei has created for himself that's holding him back. If they were on a floating island, he would immediately show Uranium Girl what he's capable of.

“If you want to sleep, go to your own room. You’ll catch a cold if you sleep here. Wagtails are indeed stronger than ordinary people, but they’re not strong enough to ignore the influence of the external environment.” Li Wei put his arm around Uranium Girl’s shoulder to prevent her from falling to the side.

"It's not as comfortable in bed as here. I'll just sleep for a little while. Wake me up in ten minutes..." Uranium Girl's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible. At the same time, soft snoring began; she had drifted off to sleep.

Looking at the uranium girl who fell asleep instantly, Hu Die sighed and said, "Senior's sleep quality is really good. You can fall asleep as soon as you want. I can't do that. I sometimes have insomnia at night."

Song whispered from the side, "It's probably because you think about too many things at night. Anyway, when it's time to sleep, I clear my mind and then lie on the bed in a sitting or reclining meditation. I can fall asleep in less than a minute."

Upon hearing that Song had such a method for falling asleep, Hu Die quickly said, "Senior, please teach me this technique!"

Li Wei channeled his magic, and a warm blanket appeared, covering the uranium-wielding girl. He was quite enjoying this kind of life. It should be said that being surrounded by lovely girls without any conflicts was a privilege even ancient emperors couldn't enjoy.

Yan looked at the Uranium Girl huddled in Li Wei's arms and felt a pang of envy, even wanting to take her place. However, everything has its order of arrival. This time, she was caught off guard and the Uranium Girl got there first. Next time, she wouldn't be so slow to react. She believed that next time, this position would definitely be hers.

For the next few days, the entire Eastern Capital appeared calm on the surface. MBI released the Sekirei (a type of giant snake) to the public intermittently. However, the Snake Organization was not going to miss such an opportunity. The two sides engaged in a life-or-death battle in the shadows, unseen by ordinary people. The Snake Organization still failed to gain any advantage, leaving behind a large number of cyborg remains and failing to capture a single Sekirei. On the MBI's side, the price was the severe injury of one member of the Punishment Team's First Squad. This seriously injured member of the Punishment Team would have to stay obediently in MBI's internal hospital for the foreseeable future and could not go anywhere else.

However, Li Wei successfully acquired No. 9's Jiu Neng.

This little girl looks to be only fourteen years old. Although she is cute, her figure ranks last in Li Wei's Sekirei group. However, she is a cute-style Sekirei, and the breeding time of Sekirei varies. For example, Kuno is a "late bloomer". Given enough time, she will be able to catch up with the main group.

However, some say that this girl, Jiu Neng, really has bad luck. She had just gotten off the MBI transport truck when she lost her credit card, got separated from the Punishment Team members responsible for security, and then ran into members of the Snake Organization.

Li Wei hadn't intentionally arranged for her puppet clones to surround Jiu Neng, but she herself had stumbled into the encirclement. Even Li Wei, watching from behind the scenes, was speechless. The punishment team members who had lost Jiu Neng were also anxious; it was the first time they'd encountered something like this.

Moreover, after getting lost, the other party unknowingly arrived near Izumo Manor. Exhausted and hungry, Jiu Neng fainted at the entrance of Izumo Manor due to low blood sugar. So, Li Wei picked up Jiu Neng like a stray kitten and took him home without much effort.

After that, he directly called Takami Sahashi and told the punishment team members who were still looking for the person not to continue searching, as the person had arrived with him and was safe.

Sahashi Takami made a few complaints and hung up the phone. However, from Sahashi Takami's words, Levi also learned some information. After comparing it with the information he had previously collected, he came to a conclusion. MBI did not pay too much attention to the weak and useless Sekirei like Kuno. As long as they ensured that Kuno could find his own Reishi Bud, then their mission would be considered complete.

Other wagtails wouldn't be treated this way, but Kuno is the kind of inconspicuous creature no one expects of, so this is how she's treated. A few days later, Li Wei finally found the little grass he had been longing for. However, their encounter wasn't because he intercepted her; she simply wandered off and met him. Now, only Jie is still at the research institute and hasn't arrived in the Eastern Capital yet.

Chapter 4. New Companions Are About to Arrive

As the number of wagtails still under MBI's control dwindles, the Reed Sprouts participating in the game become restless, wanting to increase their number of allies as much as possible. However, as the Serpent Organization's actions become increasingly frantic, the situation becomes more unpredictable.

Finally, Li Wei witnessed the appearance of the female protagonist from the original storyline. The knot was finally delivered to the Eastern Capital and underwent various tests. All her abilities met or exceeded the preset standards, and she was deemed qualified and allowed to be deployed.

Therefore, the knot was put into a special transport vehicle and transported and protected by the squad.

On the highway surrounding the city, Jie looked out the window at the scenery, her eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. Like the other wagtails, after completing the initial adjustments on God's Throne Island, she was sent to a secret research institute elsewhere for covert adjustments, and only now has she gained a certain degree of freedom.

Yayu sat beside her, looking at Jie's profile, and sighed inwardly. As expected of an individual that had fused with Jie's core, she had grown up to look so much like Jie, it was as if Jie had been resurrected.

A smile graced Ya Yu's face, but her thoughts grew increasingly dangerous. She couldn't wait to confront Jie. Once she brought Jie to the brink of death, the Jie woman within Jie's body would not stand idly by, and at that point, her goal would be achieved.

Ravenfeather's smile grew increasingly radiant, making her two teammates, Redwing and Graywing, feel somewhat uncomfortable. The three members of the Punishment Team were: Ravenfeather, a mature and smiling older sister; Redwing, a proud girl with pink hair who looked about ten years old, whose figure wasn't particularly advantageous compared to her peers; and Graywing, who appeared to be in her early teens, with long, slightly messy gray hair, giving off a dejected vibe, like a grown-up, disillusioned girl. However, she was indeed a homebody obsessed with variety shows and dramas, with no other social connections besides her colleagues in the Punishment Team.

Redwing whispered, "Ravenfeather, do you know how scary your smile is right now? It's kind of disgusting too."

Ya Yu turned around, forcibly suppressing her smile, and said, "Was my expression just now strange?"

Red Wing said, "It's not just strange anymore, it's like a creepy old man staring at young girls on the street, wearing only a trench coat and nothing underneath."

Graywing, standing nearby, grinned mockingly and said, "Redwing, your metaphors are getting weirder and weirder. Next time, I think the captain will just beat you up."

"No need for next time, we can start now." Raven Feather had always wanted to teach Red Wing a lesson for her sharp tongue, but she could never find a suitable reason. Now that Gray Wing said this, she found an opportunity and pinched Red Wing's face hard.

"Ouch!" Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Red Wing felt a burning pain on her face. Raven Feather was really pinching her face hard; he wasn't joking with her.

"Release, release, release! My flesh is being squeezed to pieces! I surrender!" Red Wing begged for mercy.

"Say it, you'll never dare to say bad things about me again!" Seeing Red Wing's pitiful state, Crow Feather was amused. Red Wing was a good person in every way, but she was just not good with her words. Her words were always a bit sharp. Now that he had finally found a chance to teach her a lesson, Crow Feather was naturally not going to let it go.

"I will never speak ill of you again, let go!" Red Wing shouted.

Raven released his grip, and Red Wing's face turned red on one side, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain. Seeing Red Wing's pitiful state, Raven felt extremely satisfied, having finally vented all the pent-up anger he had suffered, feeling incredibly relieved.

As Yui watched the "activities" within the Punishment Team, she was filled with curiosity. However, her mind was now focused on the adventures she might experience in the future. She would find her own Reisha in the Eastern Capital, participate in the game, fulfill her promise to Yui, and grant freedom to all the Sekirei. To achieve this goal, she had to win until the very end.

----------

On the other hand, after learning that Jie was going to be released, Li Weixing was already prepared to welcome his new companions.

Everyone on the team knew that Jie was a very special wagtail, and that she might even become a great help in breaking the deadlock, so everyone welcomed this companion who had not yet arrived.

Li Wei originally planned to travel light, but when everyone heard that they were going to welcome Jie, they all volunteered to go along. As a result, Li Wei, who originally only planned to take two people with him, ended up with a group of people following him. Except for Song, who did not come out because it was not appropriate for him to show his face at the moment, and Meizai, who needed to guard the rear, all the others came along, including the newly joined Kuno and Xiaocao. These two children were curious about their new companions and shamelessly followed along.

Especially Xiaocao, with her pitiful expression that said "If you don't take me out, I'll cry for you," Li Wei immediately surrendered.

Since ordinary means of transportation are not feasible for adults, Li Wei took out a blanket that had not been used for a long time from his sea of ​​consciousness space, which enabled people to go out at the same time.

The carpet, imbued with invisibility magic, ensures that even at low altitudes, one won't be seen. Furthermore, it blocks out sound, so people on the carpet can't hear what others are saying. The person on the carpet is like a ghost, quietly passing over the heads of ordinary people.

"Wow! I never expected you to have such a good thing hidden away, Li Wei. This blanket looks just like the blanket in Aladdin's lamp. It really looks like it!" Uranium Girl patted the blanket under her buttocks. She could feel the soft touch of the blanket. She had never touched a wool blanket before, but she felt that the feel of this blanket must be very similar to that of a wool blanket.

Sitting at the front of the carpet, Li Wei said, "The inspiration for this magical artifact comes from the Arabian Nights carpet, but I've added many functions to it. It's even more powerful than the prototype of Aladdin's hand. This carpet can reach speeds of Mach 6 and can circle the Earth in just over an hour. In space, its speed can be even faster."

"Wow, that's incredible! At that speed, you could go anywhere you wanted!" Uranium Girl exclaimed.
