At this moment, Li Wei was unaware of what Yuriko Takagi was thinking. If he had known, he would have laughed out loud. Everyone else might lack supplies, but he wouldn't—that was the confidence of a cheat code. Li Wei said, "I am very sorry for what happened to you. If we could have arrived earlier, we might have been able to prevent this tragedy. My condolences."
Although Yuriko Takagi had a smile on her face, it was somewhat forced: "This is all fate's choice. Everyone has their own destiny. If this is a calamity that is destined to befall someone, there is no way to escape it. Besides, he has done too many bad things. Perhaps this is his retribution."
Yuriko Takagi knew what kind of person Soichiro Takagi was. Although he was good to his family, it was undeniable that he was a villain in every sense of the word. His death at the hands of zombies in the apocalypse was a form of revenge for the evil intentions of those he had harmed in the past.
However, Yuriko Takashiro is quite an extraordinary woman. Her mental resilience is much stronger than that of ordinary women. Even after experiencing tremendous changes, she was able to maintain her composure.
Yuriko Takagi didn't want to think about her own affairs anymore. Taking advantage of the fact that Li Wei was still there, she asked about matters related to Saya Takagi. Saya Takagi had come to her rescue, wielding a very unusual pistol. As someone very knowledgeable about firearms, she knew that the gun Saya Takagi carried was no ordinary weapon.
In Yuriko Takagi's view, the fact that Li Wei entrusted such a weapon to Saya Takagi showed that he trusted her considerably, since everyone else in the team used melee weapons, while Saya was the only one who used firearms. (Please give me flowers.)
“Saya is very happy here, and as her mother, I am happy for her. I just don’t know how she gets along with the other people around her. She has always been independent and opinionated since she was little. I hope she hasn’t caused any trouble for those around her,” Yuriko Takagi said.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Madam, you are overthinking this. Saya is a smart child. She knows what she should and shouldn't do. She is trusted by those around her."
Yuriko Takagi nodded. If what Li Wei said was true, then she was relieved. Japan is a country that pays great attention to atmosphere. In such an apocalyptic world, atmosphere becomes even more important. People who don't fit in have a harder time surviving than others.
00...
She had initially worried that Saya Takagi wouldn't get along with the people around her, but in the previous squad, she had seen the absolute trust that the others had in her when she fired her gun. They weren't worried at all that she might miss and hit them. If everyone in the camp had that kind of trust in Saya Takagi, then she wouldn't worry about her daughter being ostracized.
Being ostracized by your companions in such an apocalyptic world, even in a relatively safe environment, is definitely not a pleasant thing. And this is no longer the time before the apocalypse.
Li Wei said, "I won't disturb your rest, Madam. After all, it's not very gentlemanly to stay in a single lady's room so late at night."
Hearing Li Wei's words, Yuriko Takagi felt a little embarrassed. She was single again, something she had never even considered before. The handsome, strong young man before her was like warm sunshine, bringing his gentleness to every member of the camp.
Yuriko Takagi sighed inwardly, thinking that only someone as gentle as Li Wei could have built this camp, which was like paradise in the apocalypse. She reminded herself that Li Wei's gentleness wasn't just directed at her, but extended to everyone in the camp regardless of gender; she shouldn't be presumptuous in certain matters.
Yuriko Takagi admitted to herself that Li Wei's charm was simply too great. Being around him made her mind wander uncontrollably; she imagines the same would happen to other young girls.
Chapter 197. Night Talk
After leaving Yuriko Takagi's room, Li Wei did not go straight back to his dormitory, but went to the rooftop.
The camp had no gate, so there were no defensive loopholes. People inside needed to be carried in and out by Li Wei using a flying carpet. The city walls, which were more than ten meters high, separated the inside from the outside into two worlds.
Because of the height, you need to be on the fourth floor or above to see the outside world from Dormitory Building No. 1. This is because Dormitory Building No. 1 is built on a relatively high hilltop. From Dormitory Building No. 2, you can't see anything outside at all.
The once bustling metropolis of Tokyo now appears dilapidated and desolate. Yet, the apocalypse has only been unfolding for a few days, less than five days in fact, but in such a short time, the social order of the entire metropolis has completely collapsed.
However, since the apocalypse has only been going on for a short time, the city's water and electricity supply has not yet been disrupted. Although the distant cityscape is somewhat dimmed, it is still brightly lit. However, these scattered lights make this once bustling city appear even more desolate.
Li Wei's monster puppet clones haven't been slacking off these past few days; instead, they've been collecting gold for him.
The cautious Li Wei felt that his defensive capabilities were still somewhat insufficient, so he prepared to forge a complete set of defensive magic treasures for himself. This set of magic treasures would require the consumption of hundreds of tons of gold, so Li Wei also began to collect gold in this world.
Li Wei plans to forge himself a set of golden armor, along with matching defensive magical artifacts.
Gold is one of the most stable materials for guiding spiritual energy. It is also very stable in its own properties and has extremely high ductility. After being refined into an alloy, its performance far surpasses any known metal in the real world, and it is not even weaker than the mythical materials in the system's exchange items. The only troublesome thing is that you have to find it yourself.
However, gold exists in most parts of the world, so Li Wei wasn't too worried about that.
The monster puppet clones stored the stolen gold in different locations. Li Wei only needed to go to the designated locations to collect the gold.
Without needing to bring anyone or conceal his strength, Li Wei sped to his maximum speed, quickly reaching several gold-hiding locations and storing the gold collected by the monster puppets into his mind's eye space.
The monster puppets seized several vaults, allowing Li Wei to amass hundreds of tons of gold in one go. He quickly gathered the materials to forge the golden armor and matching defensive magic items he wanted.
In less than ten minutes, Li Wei had collected all the gold and returned to the camp, landing back on the rooftop.
The rooftop of Dormitory Building No. 1 is also brightly lit. After all, it's not a stingy school. The lighting throughout the camp is very bright, creating a huge contrast with the dimness around it.
Just as Li Wei was about to enter the floating island in his sea of consciousness, a figure gently pushed open the door at the entrance to the rooftop. Relying on his own perception of aura, Li Wei was able to know the identity of the person without turning around.
"Li, aren't you going to rest so late?" Li Wei asked with a smile.
The person who came was Miyamoto Rei.
When Miyamoto Rei saw Li Wei on the rooftop, she felt a little flustered. Because of what happened during the day, she was feeling down and had no one to talk to, so she could only come to the rooftop alone to enjoy the night breeze.
Rei Miyamoto knew that it wasn't just her who couldn't see her family again; most people in the camp would never see their loved ones again, and it was very likely that they would be separated forever by death.
"Teacher, did I disturb you?" Miyamoto Rei asked cautiously.
She could sense that Li Wei's attitude towards her was a little strange. She didn't know why; it was probably just a woman's intuition. It was a faint sense of estrangement. He was so gentle to everyone else, but with her, he was distant. Miyamoto Rei felt a little confused and uneasy. She was afraid of doing something wrong and making Li Wei dislike her, so she always seemed a little flustered when facing him.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Nothing like that. But why aren't you resting in your room at this time? Why are you up here? I remember I left various chess sets in every dormitory room. Playing chess to pass the time is more interesting than coming up here alone in the cold wind, isn't it?"
Rei Miyamoto walked to the edge of the rooftop, keeping a distance from Li Wei, and said, "I'm feeling a bit flustered and don't want to affect my roommates' mood, so I came up here to get some fresh air and calm down."
Li Wei sat down on a chair at the edge of the rooftop, leaning against the barbed wire fence, and said, "Are you worried about your own future, or about your family outside?"
Rei Miyamoto said, "I guess so. To be honest, I was quite envious when I saw Takashiro reuniting with his family today. But I can't bring my family to the camp with me; I don't have the same privileges as Takashiro."
Li Wei said, "Many people may be unhappy with me... To bring their families into the camp, they have to pay a huge amount of supplies as a pledge of allegiance, which most people don't have. But I have to be responsible for everyone in the camp, so even if it makes people unhappy, I have to do it."
Rei Miyamoto said, "I can understand what you did, teacher. After all, you were doing it for the good of the camp. I'm just lamenting the fate of people."
Li Wei wanted to clean his ears; this was the second time today he'd heard about fate. But the hardships ordinary people endure in such an apocalyptic world could indeed be called fate. After all, given the circumstances, individuals couldn't make much of a difference.
Rei Miyamoto sat down on the bench where Li Wei was sitting, but she still kept a distance of two people from him and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, did I do something to upset you? I can feel that you are distant from me."
Rei Miyamoto mustered her courage and asked the question that had been troubling her for some time. She had this feeling before the apocalypse, but it had become even stronger afterward. Anyone would feel uncomfortable being treated differently like this, so she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Even if she was going to die, she wanted to die knowing the truth.
Li Wei smiled gently as before: "Why do you feel that way? Do you feel like you're being treated differently? Is there some way I've treated you worse than others?"
Rei Miyamoto was a little flustered. Faced with Li Wei's question 2.8, she even stammered, "No... that's not what I meant. I just feel like you're being a little distant with me, but you're not like this with other people. Did I do something wrong?"
Li Wei looked at Miyamoto Rei and said in a calm tone, "You didn't do anything wrong to me. Before coming to this school, we were just strangers."
"Then why are you distancing yourself from me like this?" Miyamoto Rei asked.
Li Wei said, "I have carefully learned about the backgrounds of my students, and I know more or less about what has happened to them."
Li Wei doesn't accept scoundrels, so before sending the survivors from the academy to the floating island in his sea of consciousness, they must undergo meticulous screening. Any unstable elements will not be taken away. Besides unstable elements, those who cannot maintain their integrity will also be discarded sooner or later.
Chapter 198. Miyamoto Rei's Mindset
Li Wei used a little trick and spent some time obtaining the family information of each student from the school. He then used this as a basis to deduce the information, as well as his daily observations and perceptions.
After a period of observation and screening, a group of people were selected. These people were all unstable factors. Some had a history of school bullying, some were delinquent girls, and others had participated in illegal activities outside of school and had bad records.
Of all the girls in the school, about 20% have already been abandoned by Li Wei. But this is Japan, so it's normal for things to be this chaotic. After all, the environment in Japan has created this situation.
Li Wei even discovered among these students that some were going to make adult films, as well as others who provided various unspeakable services.
All I can say is that these high school girls in Japan are all incredibly adventurous, and their moral standards are incredibly low.
Li Wei looked at Miyamoto Rei and said, "I found out some things related to you. When you were in the second year, you had a conflict with Mr. Fujito Koichi, right? I already know the secrets behind it."
Rei Miyamoto was somewhat surprised. She had never mentioned this matter to anyone at school; it was a private secret, unknown even to Takashi Komuro and Hisashi Igou. How could she not be astonished that Li Wei claimed to know the inside story?
Li Wei said, "The information I found here shows that your father inadvertently obtained a handle on the Zifang family. As a county councilor, the head of the Zifang family is not someone an ordinary person like your father can afford to offend. As a result, disaster struck, and you became your father's weakness, forcing him to kneel down and apologize. He even destroyed the evidence himself. At the same time, you, who should have been in the third grade, were forced to repeat a grade."
Rei Miyamoto looked shocked and said, "I didn't expect you to know about this, teacher!"
Li Wei laughed and said, "I definitely need to have a certain understanding of my students. After all, the techniques I teach you can be used to kill people with slight modifications. I need to prevent any of you from doing evil. I won't teach them the essence of the techniques to deal with those potential unstable factors. That way, even if they do evil in the future, it won't cause uncontrollable damage."
Rei Miyamoto could understand Li Wei's point of view. It was like how martial arts masters would test the mental fortitude of their disciples when accepting them as apprentices. If someone's mental fortitude failed, they would absolutely not be accepted as a disciple.
Li Wei was doing the same thing. Although it seemed like everyone was teaching, the instability within the group meant they couldn't learn the true essence of the technique. She could understand this approach. Li Wei continued, "In investigating this information, it's inevitable that we'll learn some other information. Miyamoto-kun, you were with Komuro-taka before, right?"
When asked such an embarrassing question, Miyamoto Rei didn't know how to answer. Li Wei's question directly exposed her wounds: her breakup with Komuro Takashi and her move to Igou Hisashi's arms. Even she herself knew that such things were a bit excessive.
This was a secret she kept deep inside, and for it to be unearthed like this must have been quite a shock to her.
Li Wei continued, "That was true before your father accepted the threats, but after the threats ended, you quickly established a relationship with Jing Haoyong. To be honest, when I found out about this before, I was a little... surprised."
Li Wei's careful choice of words felt like a slap in the face. Miyamoto Rei's face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Teacher, do you have to interfere in my personal feelings too?"
Li Wei smiled and said, "I'm just taking a wait-and-see approach to this. After all, it's a matter for you young people; we 'old folks' don't even have the right to offer advice. Of course, I'll keep this a secret for you." Miyamoto Rei felt as if she'd been stabbed in the heart. Although Li Wei said he didn't care about such things, she dared not think that way. She was already pondering a question: what kind of person was she in Li Wei's eyes?
It's now clear that she has left a bad impression on Li Wei, which makes her somewhat flustered.
Li Wei is the leader of the camp. Although she appears approachable, she firmly controls the entire camp. If Li Wei decides that she is a bad woman, then she will be in big trouble. This feeling of gain and loss gradually takes over her heart.
Li Wei received feedback from the system that Miyamoto Rei lost control due to her inner fear and her mentality was severely unbalanced, earning her 500 points, with a current remaining score of 19500 points.
Li Wei hadn't expected his words to break Miyamoto Rei's nerves. Just how bad was this girl's mentality to be so easily affected by a few words? No wonder she was so hysterical in the early part of the story, constantly yelling and throwing tantrums at those around her. With that kind of mentality, it's understandable that she would do those irrational things, because that's just how Miyamoto Rei is.
Seeing Miyamoto Rei's disheveled appearance as she tried her best to hide her inner fear, Li Wei maintained his smile. Li Wei found that he had come to like the smile, because it was a versatile expression in most situations.
Li Wei said, "Originally, I shouldn't be saying these things, but this isn't the end of the world. People are still bound by laws and morals, so we must be cautious in everything we do to avoid internal strife or conflict." Miyamoto Rei could only nod numbly as she listened to Li Wei's pointed words. The only thing she was glad about was that Li Wei hadn't brought these things up, since such things were not honorable.
Although there are more than a thousand people in the academy camp, the actual circle is relatively small. In addition, there is a lack of entertainment in the post-apocalyptic environment, so the girls have become somewhat gossipy. Anything that happens to anyone becomes news in their mouths.
Listening to others' jokes is fine, but nobody wants to become the joke themselves.
Chapter 199. The World's Best Score-Boosting Tool
Rei Miyamoto has completely lost her usual composure. Now she's like a frightened bird, completely at a loss, with sweat pouring down her face.
Rei Miyamoto swallowed hard, grabbed Li Wei's arm suddenly, as if she had made a difficult decision, took a deep breath, and pulled the shoulder of her school uniform to the side, revealing her delicate collarbone.
"Teacher, what can I do to make you forgive me?" Miyamoto Rei tried her best to maintain a seductive demeanor, but inwardly she was terrified.
Li Wei frowned, pulled Miyamoto Rei's clothes aside a bit, then pulled them back, saying, "A person's value in the apocalypse can't be proven by such petty tricks. Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret for you." Miyamoto Rei looked at Li Wei's serious face, feeling dejected. As a woman, even her last weapon had lost its effectiveness. She didn't know how to change Li Wei's feelings towards her.
Li Wei said, "Miyamoto Rei, can you calm down now? From the beginning, you've been overthinking and scaring yourself. If I were to do something, do you think you'd have a chance to refuse? And do you think I'd lack women?"
Hearing Li Wei's words, Miyamoto Rei put her legs on the bench, hugged her calves with her hands, rested her chin on her knees, and squeezed her full breasts out of shape.
