A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

The other participating teams, who were originally still active outside, also cautiously reduced their activity area after noticing the sleet falling from the sky.

Some participating teams that hadn't collected enough warm clothing chose to stop and find a safe place to spend the night.

Because of the special item incident during the day, the trust within the alliance has been broken. Each participating team is wary of others, so they did not gather in one place to set up camp, but instead chose their own safest location.

At this point, the loose alliance was completely defeated, and many Reed Sprouts began to fight on their own. Some Reed Sprouts chose to rest and set up camp at this time, while others prepared to continue their journey at night, searching for new coordinates, collectibles, and important special items.

That night, Li Wei planned to observe from the sidelines and decide whether to intervene based on the situation. If the referees released more special items, he would seize the opportunity to act amidst the chaos. If no special items were used, he would rather stay in the small house atop the wooden dragon head, enjoying the warmth and the embrace of the lovely girl.

The size of the wooden dragon meant that the small house on its head was not very big, only a few square meters in area. After piling up all kinds of logistical supplies, the living space left for each person was just enough to fit a bed.

Li Wei took out quilts and blankets from his sea of ​​consciousness and used them to line the entire interior of the small house, creating a very warm tatami room. With the outside temperature already starting to drop, this warm little house was undoubtedly the greatest comfort.

Li Wei sat cross-legged on the quilt, holding a piece of white paper, and began to fold it slowly. Qiu Jin lay on his back, her impressive headlights pressed tightly against Li Wei.

Akitsu whispered, "Sir, why don't we use this kind of reconnaissance method during the day?"

Li Wei gently stroked Akizu's chin, and Akizu revealed a cat-like expression of enjoyment, rubbing her cheek against Li Wei's neck.

To outsiders, Akitsu is an ice goddess, but when she is with Li Wei, she shows a childlike side that is inconsistent with her appearance.

Li Wei wasn't bothered by Qiu Jin's sudden advances. He was used to girls making surprise attacks on him while he was working; his experience wouldn't sway him. The confidence he gained from being surrounded by women made him even more resolute when faced with temptation.

Moreover, Xiaocao was watching curiously from the side. If he didn't restrain himself at this moment, he might set a bad example for the child, after all, Xiaocao was only a few years old.

Li Wei said, "During the day, the visibility is good, so there's no need to use this kind of auxiliary method. At night, everyone needs to rest, so we always need to keep an eye out for surveillance."

Jie raised her hand and said, "Jie can do surveillance too!"

Li Wei said, "You tend to get sleepy at night. If I let you monitor the situation down there, you might fall asleep in no time. So you should just rest properly tonight and leave the monitoring to me."

Akitsu said, "I can help you with this kind of thing, sir."

Akitsu can sense the rain and snow she scatters. When the rain and snow fall on the ground, she can tell what is happening on the ground by the feedback when the rain and snow hit ground units, sense the enemies that are resisting the rain and snow, and the various architectural details on the ground.

This ability is somewhat similar to the Rain Tiger Free Technique from Naruto, but Akitsu, due to limited energy, cannot conduct precise reconnaissance of a specific area around the clock like Pain. After all, Pain was using cheat codes, and Akitsu, without such cheat codes, naturally finds it difficult to maintain such perception for an extended period.

Li Wei said, "I know your abilities, but those abilities are too difficult to use, and now is not a critical moment, so there is no need to do so."

Li Wei's divine sense perception was even stronger, but this was his secret, and he didn't intend to reveal it even to his partner. He had always kept his perception active, and he was actually very clear about what was happening below. Now, he was deliberately folding a thousand paper cranes to cover up his perception ability. He could promptly detect the changes in the forces below and attribute the current changes to the paper cranes.

If you want to cover up a big secret, you can reveal a smaller secret that won't have a significant impact on you, thus diverting attention.

Furthermore, this also allows the girls to know that his perception skills are limited and cannot be used at will. Li Wei habitually hides his trump cards, so that if any unexpected events occur, he can catch his opponents off guard.

Li Wei had already folded the origami crane. He pushed the window open slightly and tossed the crane out through the crack. The crane went into stealth mode the instant it left the window, undetected by the drone nearby. It rose rapidly into the sky with the wind. At the same time, inside the room with the wooden dragon head roof, a screen suspended in mid-air appeared before them, displaying the view of the crane looking down.

This was the first time Jie had ever seen Li Wei display such magic, and with a look of surprise on her face, she said, "This is truly a convenient ability!"

Jie joined Li Wei's camp relatively late, so she wasn't as aware of his abilities as the other girls, which explains her reaction to the current situation. Xiaocao and Qiujin, having witnessed such magic before, didn't show any surprise.

Chapter 4. The Unsavory Hand

Li Wei switched the perspective of the origami crane. The original black and white image became a thermal imaging-like image, with the buildings on the ground being transparent and the figures inside clearly visible.

Jie exclaimed in surprise, "How amazing! Li Weijun has such an ability. What happened? Wouldn't that give us the upper hand?"

Li Wei said, "That's what I think too. Although it's already night and most people would be resting, today is only the first day of the competition. The Reed Sprouts are still full of energy, and some of them will definitely be tempted to do something dirty to those around them."

Jie asked, puzzled, "They're already at a disadvantage. Instead of sticking together, they're fighting amongst themselves. Don't they want to win the game?"

Li Wei said, "This is because they want to win the game so badly that this situation occurs. It's impossible for people to be absolutely rational; that's just human nature."

Livy was a pessimist when it came to human nature. He always believed that the brilliance of humanity was only an exception, while the darkness of humanity was the majority; other people were hell. Moreover, there is an old Chinese saying: "A large forest has all kinds of birds," meaning never think too highly of others.

Being able to become a Reed Sprout is simply because one possesses the Reed Sprout Factor within their body, and it has nothing to do with whether a person is good or bad. Therefore, there are all sorts of people with the Reed Sprout Body. In the original storyline, there were quite a few scum Reed Sprouts. Even though Li Wei has changed the development of the storyline and the entire plot has become unrecognizable, this still cannot change the reality that the Reed Sprout Body has been mixed with a lot of scum.

These people cannot ignore the opportunity right in front of them; the night is a fig leaf for their sins.

For these people, it's perfectly normal to take advantage of the other reed shoots while they're resting to find ways to eliminate potential competitors, because it's in their interest. As for what to do when facing Li Wei later, many of them adopt a "things will work themselves out" attitude and don't bother to think about such questions.

Sure enough, while Li Wei and the others were watching the surveillance footage, they saw someone unable to resist attacking others around them.

It was a young man named Reed Sprout who was accompanied by two wagtails. He pretended to be setting up camp and resting, appearing harmless. Then, he used the special abilities of his wagtails to release a gas that could cause people to faint.

Not far from him, another Reed Sprout and his only Wagyu immediately confessed. The unlucky Reed Sprout who confessed was still unconscious when he was kicked in the back of the head with a soccer ball. Although there was only a visual image and no sound, the soccer ball kick directly caused the Reed Sprout, who was in a drowsy state, to fall into a deep coma.

Feeling it wasn't safe enough after his sneak attack, Reed Sprout kicked the other person in the head, then crouched down to check their breathing. After confirming there was no death, Reed Sprout, having used a dirty trick, left with his two wagtails and promptly packed up and ran away.

Looking at the scene, Li Wei said, "Taking advantage of the absence of the referees and the lack of drones nearby to launch such a sneak attack, it's no wonder that the Wei Ya Group is full of talented people, including all sorts of scoundrels."

Although it might be a bit unkind to laugh out loud at this moment, Li Wei genuinely wanted to laugh. That sneaky Wei Ya was quite a talent in a way, and it was probably not the first time he had done something like this.

Li Wei had his puppet clones outside the arena search for information, and they quickly found the information on the opponent who had launched the sneak attack, Ashi. Then, Li Wei understood why his opponent was so skilled. This Ashi who launched the sneak attack was a yakuza person before becoming Ashi.

Or rather, this young man is the heir to a yakuza organization, and his two partners, the Sekirei, are also problem children with unconventional thinking. The three of them are birds of a feather. Before participating in the competition, this young man used the power of his two Sekirei to take down his organization's old rivals one by one, and unified the underworld in the eastern part of the Eastern Capital. He is a well-known figure in the yakuza world.

This young man started learning from a young age how to become a qualified yakuza leader, waiting to inherit his family's organization when his father could no longer work.

Li Wei hadn't expected this person to be a professional. No wonder he was so quick and efficient; after all, the other person must do this kind of thing often.

With a strange expression, Jie said, "Isn't what he did a foul?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "The referee didn't see it, the drone didn't see it, so who would know he committed a foul?"

Jie paused for a moment, then said, "That person is so cunning!"

Li Wei said, "As I just said, someone will definitely do something underhanded at night. From a conclusion perspective, you might think that person is cunning, but from a competition perspective, it's just tactical. For them, as long as they achieve their goal, the process doesn't matter. And unless they're caught red-handed, they won't admit to what they did."

This is human nature, regardless of race or nationality. Everyone is like this, especially when faced with choices involving significant interests. All talk of gentleness, kindness, humility, and deference is fake. People will do all sorts of things that cross the line for their own benefit, just like that yakuza young man from earlier, who seized any opportunity to use underhanded tactics. This kind of thing is the norm.

Jie sighed. She knew she had oversimplified things. In this kind of competition, for Li Wei's side, the divine artifact was merely icing on the cake, so Li Wei didn't feel the same urgency as the others. But those ordinary reed shoots were different. They didn't have Li Wei's strength, so they would inevitably resort to any means to win.

Dignity is a privilege reserved for the strong, but not everyone is strong, so people will always make undignified mistakes.

Li Wei gently rubbed his tangled head and said softly, "I know you still find it hard to accept these things. The world isn't always kind. I will protect the kindness in your heart. You don't need to force yourself to accept these things because I will handle them all."

Jie nodded. She knew she was past the age where she could be willful and capricious, and she was already very grateful that Li Wei was willing to be so tolerant of her.

Li Wei gently pressed down on Jie's shoulders, helping her sit down on the soft quilt.

Li Wei said softly, "Everyone, please rest first. I'll take care of the night watch. I'll wake you up when I need you."

Akitsu pounced on Li Wei, pinning him beneath her, and said, "My lord, there's nothing important to do right now, so why don't you rest with us first?"

Little Grass stared wide-eyed at the scene, her face showing an expression of excitement and curiosity.

Li Wei gently lifted Qiu Jin's chin and pushed her up. Although he also liked this kind of thing, it was troublesome to have a child around.

The little grass looked disappointed; there was no more fun to be had.

Chapter 4. The Old Father

Li Wei also felt a little regretful. He had a beautiful woman in his arms, but he couldn't do anything. He regretted bringing Xiao Cao, a minor, along this time. If all three of them were grown girls, he wouldn't have to worry about setting a bad example for the children.

Xiaocao is at her most curious age right now, and she learns everything very quickly. So much so that Li Wei doesn't even dare to swear in front of her, because Xiaocao is an overly clever child. With her super learning ability, she could easily go astray if she isn't properly taught.

In the world of children, there are many problem children who have gone astray due to inadequate education. Children are like blank sheets of paper, and adults are the ones drawing on them. What a child will ultimately become depends on the kind of person holding the brush.

Anyway, Li Wei didn't want Xiao Cao to become a delinquent girl who swore and acted without restraint. Right now, he was like an old father worried about his daughter going astray, extremely anxious. Li Wei was now experiencing what it was like to raise a daughter ahead of time.

The three girls, two big and three small, lay down obediently. Li Wei covered them with blankets, especially Xiao Cao, who liked to kick off the blankets, who was covered up completely, with only her cute little head sticking out.

Little Grass was wearing a bear-shaped sleeping cap, blinking her big eyes, and holding onto the edge of the blanket with her two little hands. She looked just like a kitten that had been flipped over.

The little grass's orange-gold tufts were as long as she was. Several careful older sisters usually took care of her. Her silk was of very good quality, but because the silk contained an excessively vigorous vitality, it always looked a bit fluffy, giving people a slightly messy feeling. This messy feeling made her look like a large Persian cat.

The thin bear-shaped sleeping cap was stuffed full, a quantity that would make most women envious.

"Big brother, what should I do if I can't sleep?" Little Grass whispered.

Li Wei gently poked her cheek with his finger. Her skin was delicate and bouncy, and it felt wonderful to the touch. This was why Li Wei loved pinching Xiao Cao's cheeks.

Li Wei smiled and asked, "So what do you want to do now?"

The little grass said cautiously, "I want to watch Tom and Jerry."

Li Wei raised an eyebrow and said, "Then you have to promise me that you can only watch for half an hour, and then you have to go to sleep."

Little Grass pursed her thin lips and whispered, "Ten more minutes."

Li Wei laughed and said, "If you try to bargain with me, then you won't be able to watch the cartoons."

Little Grass nodded quickly and said, "Half an hour it is, I promise I'll go to sleep obediently."

Looking at Xiaocao's mischievous eyes, Li Wei knew that even when it was time to sleep, this girl wouldn't go to bed; she might even whine and act spoiled towards him. However, he also quite enjoyed this feeling of being relied upon. Although being a father always meant worrying, seeing Xiaocao's adorable appearance made him feel healed.

Li Wei can understand why so many people prefer to have girls when they have children. Compared to naughty children, a little girl is much more comfortable. Although a little girl may be naughty and sometimes leak air, she is still better than a naughty child who is always crying and sniffling.

However, as of now, Li Wei has not considered having children with his partners. He is not psychologically prepared to be a father, and he does not have the energy to take care of his children.

Li Wei was not a good father. He was an eccentric otaku who would go to the floating island to indulge in debauchery when he felt lonely, and like to stay in his study to play games when he felt bored. With a personality like his, he could not be a good father.

The relationship between Xiaocao and Liwei is actually somewhat twisted. To Xiaocao, Liwei is like both an older brother and a father. And Liwei feels the same way; sometimes he treats Xiaocao like a younger sister, and other times he treats her like a daughter, experiencing what it's like to be a father.

Xiaocao had no idea that her relationship with Li Wei was so complicated.

Li Wei took out a tablet computer from his sea of ​​consciousness, turned on the Tom and Jerry cartoon, and placed it in front of Xiao Cao.

Little Grass grabbed Li Wei's hand, looking pitiful, and said, "Big brother, can you watch it with me?"

Li Wei glanced at the two girls beside him, Jie and Qiu Jin, who had already started snoring. These two girls were the kind of people who were a bit eccentric, so he wasn't surprised that they could fall asleep so quickly.

Yui is a careless and forgetful person who often misplaces things, while Akitsu is a "hooligan" who often forgets to wear her panties. It's not that she's deliberately being a hooligan; she just simply forgets to wear them.

So Li Wei usually treats these two eccentric girls like little sisters. Although they are physically mature, they still have some mental issues.

Li Wei squeezed into the quilt, placed Xiao Cao on his lap, and leaned against the wooden wall with pillows, letting Xiao Cao rest against his chest.
