A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei said, "I'll take you to the exhibition hall. The school is holding an exhibition right now, and there are many interesting artworks there. Some of the works are really impressive, even to me."

Jinchengzhai Qianye nodded, unaware that Li Wei had already taken her hand without her noticing.

Chapter 1. Worship

In relatively unfamiliar environments, people tend to rely on familiar people around them. Jinchengzhai Qianye knew about Dongyi University, after all, this top art academy has cultivated many big names in the art field, and even in the field of industrial art-related design, many people from Dongyi University are doing it.

Because of the academy's renowned reputation, Jin Chengzhai Qianye appeared somewhat reserved upon arriving in this environment. In her view, the students here might very well be future masters of art, completely different from someone like her who reeked of money.

Without thinking, Jin Chengzhai Qianye gripped Li Wei's hand even tighter.

Li Wei could sense Jin Chengzhai Qianye's nervousness. He gently squeezed her hand and, without lingering on the road, headed straight for the exhibition area.

The exhibition area was quite lively, after all, it was the annual New Year exhibition of the Tokyo University of the Arts. The works that could be exhibited were, in addition to those of the teachers, the works of the most outstanding students. It can be said that the overall level was quite high, allowing visitors to feel the charm of art.

After viewing the sculpture and visual arts sections, the two arrived at the painting section. As an art college with a very inclusive approach to art, the paintings on display in this section showcased a wide variety of styles.

Impressionist oil paintings from Europe, realistic oil paintings that appeal to both the refined and the common, pastel paintings with a fresh and delicate style, traditional Japanese ukiyo-e, and even classical landscape paintings from Japan—works of these styles can all be found in art exhibitions.

As she walked along the path, Jinchengzhai Qianye would pause briefly in front of each artwork to admire it. To her, every piece in the painting exhibition area was quite remarkable.

"Li Weijun, where are your works? I want to see them." Jinchengzhai Qianye looked at Li Wei with curiosity in her eyes.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Come with me. My work is in the core exhibition area. There aren't many works in the core exhibition area, but the quality of each work is much better than the others."

Li Wei felt a little proud of this.

The two arrived at the core exhibition area, and just as Li Wei had said, unlike the previous regular exhibition areas, the number of works in this area was significantly less. However, Jin Chengzhai Qianye also sensed that each work here possessed its own "soul."

Li Wei led Jin Chengzhai Qianye to his works and said, "These two pieces are my works. Just in the last few days, a wealthy German man ordered them. After the exhibition ends, these two pieces will be taken away."

Jin Chengzhai Qianye stared at the exquisite painting, speechless with awe. She had never imagined that she would be so moved by a painting. The painting was incredibly rich in content, and the details alone made her feel as if she were watching a movie. She could even sense Li Wei's mood while creating the painting. Li Wei was painting with a joyful heart, and when she saw the painting, her mood inexplicably became joyful as well.

However, what Jin Chengzhai Qianye didn't know was that this painting was completed after Li Wei's painting skills had greatly improved. The Li Wei of the past could not have achieved this level. It can be said that Li Wei is now the youngest oil painting master in history. Although his technique doesn't have an absolute advantage compared to historical masters, Li Wei's advantage is his youth and the absence of lifespan limitations, allowing him to endlessly refine his painting skills. Therefore, he truly has a promising future with no upper limit.

Jinchengzhai Qianye said, "I don't know why, but when I saw this painting, I felt very happy, as if I had entered the scene itself. It's really incredible."

Li Wei smiled; this was a manifestation of skill approaching the Tao. It's like the famous oil painting "The Scream"—scanned and printed versions leave viewers feeling nothing, but only by experiencing the actual painting firsthand can one truly understand how spiritually polluting it is.

There are four versions of "The Scream". The third version was exhibited at the Tokyo University of the Arts. The third version was in the hands of a private collector. The old principal had a lot of influence and was able to persuade the collector to exhibit the work. As a result, the students and teachers of the Tokyo University of the Arts were "lucky" to be able to view this "miracle work" up close. During that time, Li Wei clearly felt that the sanity of everyone in the school dropped significantly. That painting truly had the ability to cause mental pollution. Looking back now, Li Wei thinks that the creator of that painting must have seen some supernatural existence that he shouldn't have seen, and his mind was stimulated, so he created this mentally polluting masterpiece to take revenge on society.

Supernatural forces do exist in the real world, but they are extremely rare and insignificant. However, certain highly inspired individuals are more likely to come into contact with such supernatural things than ordinary people, thus gaining some rather bizarre inspirations. Some strange "masterpieces" and bizarre written records in history were created under such circumstances.

Li Wei said, "When I created this painting, I wanted to bring joy to the viewers. I hoped that this joy could be contagious, so I used some special techniques. If you look closely at the details of this painting, you can see many rounded brushstrokes. This is the secret to how this painting can bring joy to people."

Some things are very mysterious if they are not explained, but once explained, they are actually quite simple. Livy's creative techniques are quite simple; he just used them to perfection.

Jinchengzhai Qianye saw Li Wei's name and photo below the artwork. At exhibitions like this, the creator's information is usually listed below the artwork. Jinchengzhai Qianye saw the portrait in the photo and Li Wei's appearance. Li Wei was not bragging; he really had genuine talent.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye sighed inwardly, amazed that such an extraordinary man as Li Wei existed in the world; it was simply unbelievable. A dazzling existence like Li Wei radiated light wherever he went, making her seem like an ordinary ugly duckling in comparison.

Jinchengzhai Qianye looked at Li Wei with admiration. Japan is a place that highly respects art and crafts. In Japan, professions related to art and writing, such as traditional literary writers, mystery novelists, painters, and dancers, have a very high social status.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye realized that she had unintentionally encountered a true prodigy, and if her classmates knew, they would be extremely jealous.

Chapter 1. Heading to the New World

Jin Chengzhai Qianye felt a little ashamed. She felt that she was too realistic, just like those vulgar women outside. Li Wei had not expressed any interest in her so far. They were just friends who had known each other for a short time. Now she was thinking about such nonsense, which was simply a desecration of this relationship.

Jin Chengzhai Qianye said, "Before I met you, Li Weijun, although I knew that geniuses existed in this world, I didn't really know what a genius was like. It wasn't until I met you that I realized what a genius is."

Li Wei said, "I just have a little more talent than the average person, and the energy and time I put into the things I love have made me who I am today."

The two held hands and continued to stroll through the exhibition. The exhibition had been going on for several days, and the peak period of crowds had passed. Although there were still many people in the exhibition hall, it was not as crowded as before.

Like fish swimming among the crowds, the two, led by Li Wei, quickly browsed through all the worthwhile works at the exhibition. After finishing their tour, they left the exhibition area and found a dessert shop to sit down and rest.

They ordered a few simple desserts and enjoyed their meal at a secluded outdoor table. Jin Chengzhai Qianye was going to work at a convenience store afterward, and she had plenty of time. However, Jin Chengzhai Qianye had a habit of preparing for work in advance, so Li Wei drove her to the vicinity of the convenience store where she would work before saying goodbye and leaving.

Back at his apartment, Li Wei recalled how he had used his mind-reading ability to peek into Jin Chengzhai Qianye's thoughts. This girl was even more stubborn than he had imagined, but such a self-respecting and self-loving girl, whom Li Wei felt he could get to know better and who had good character, was a rare breed in this day and age.

It's important to know that many Japanese girls today are materialistic. The saying "I'd rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle" is practically the norm in the Japanese women's marriage market. Keep in mind that Japan is the original stronghold of feminism in Asia. When Japanese women started boxing in the 1970s, Japan was still just holding exhibitions. Women truly were holding up half the sky.

Therefore, the Japanese dating market has formed a pyramid structure with different tiers. Most women are only willing to be compatible with those who are compatible with them, and very few are willing to be compatible with those who are compatible with them. As a result, people like Li Wei are very popular in the Japanese dating market.

However, Li Wei, who was very clear about these things, was very cautious in this matter. He did not want a ruthless "monster" to be sucking his blood.

After staying at home for a few days, Li Wei, who couldn't stay idle, was thinking about going to new worlds to explore. However, he wanted to go to quite a few places, so he had to make a decision about which world to go to first.

Li Wei now possesses enough strength to protect himself in most worldviews, so he naturally has more options to choose from.

Li Wei made a large plate listing all the worlds he would visit next. He nailed the plate to the wall and then vigorously turned it.

Li Wei didn't use any supernatural powers; he simply relied on luck to see where fate would take him. When he opened his eyes, the disc had stopped moving, and the fixed pointer was pointing to a string of text.

"InfiniteStratos? The works of a great writer? Is that the answer fate gave me, the next world?" Li Wei muttered to himself.

This time, Li Wei wrote ten works on the roulette wheel. These ten works are all works in which his power can run rampant in his worldview, the kind that will never crash no matter how wildly he acts.

However, he never expected that, with a one in ten chance, he would choose a work by a great writer. When it came to this great writer, Li Wei felt his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical) instincts were simply uncontrollable. The great writer's representative work was *Infinite Stratos*, a work that was essentially saved by the manga adaptation team; the novel's original quality was just so-so. Later, due to the great writer's outspokenness and tendency to stir up hatred everywhere, he was abandoned by the publisher and subsequently published a new work, *The Battlefield After School*.

I haven't read "The Battlefield After School" myself, but according to feedback from forum users, it's an even worse work than "Infinite Stratos." To some extent, the publisher is exploiting the reputation of this "deceased author."

Previously, "Infinite Stratos" was adapted into an anime due to a series of coincidences, which attracted a lot of attention to the great writer. However, as the saying goes, "Heaven will destroy those who are destined to die, and first make them arrogant." The great writer, who was arrogant and conceited, gradually cut himself off from the industry and readers.

According to information provided by forum users, after the series of incidents caused by *Infinite Stratos*, the great writer was blacklisted by his original publisher, and his subsequent work, *After School Battlefield*, didn't sell well either, effectively fading into obscurity. Li Wei didn't pay much attention to the great writer, only hearing from forum members that he had gone back to making eroge (adult games), since he was a scriptwriter at the eroge company Alicesoft before becoming a light novel author.

Unfortunately, while the great writer was competent as a scriptwriter, his abilities as a light novel author were somewhat lacking. Most readers who have read "Infinite Stratos" would complain that the great writer's writing was terrible, truly the kind of writing that "I could do it too."

In Japan, light novels have become increasingly straightforward in their language in order to cater to an increasingly younger audience. In the last century, we could still see light novels like "Ten Kingdoms" and "Legend of the Galactic Heroes," which were grand and majestic like traditional literature. But now, even "Overlord" is considered a masterpiece.

Li Wei didn't have the Blu-ray of "Infinite Stratos" in his collection, so he simply opened the webpage on his computer to watch movies on a paid website and started catching up on the series.

Li Wei didn't fast forward; instead, he honestly watched both seasons of the anime. Then, he felt like complaining. This work was just a patchwork of various traditional tropes, and it could be considered a predecessor to "Hundred".

After completing the most basic preparations, Li Wei activated the teleportation and entered the world of Infinite Stratos through the portal.

The place where he landed was the neon of the Infinite Stratos world. Li Wei was already very familiar with how to create his fake identity. He used some hacking skills to hack into the official household registration system of the South Korean government and create a complete set of identity documents. At the same time, he also prepared all the relevant supporting documents in Japan. All of this took Li Wei less than a minute.

Chapter 1. A World Already Distorted

After resolving his identity issue, Li Wei began using a location-finding spell to locate the positions of the main characters. He then discovered that he had been in the story for a slightly longer period, with nearly a year remaining before the original plot began.

Li Wei immediately thought, "Damn it!" He did like timing things, but this time he clearly made a mistake; he entered too early.

After all, this world is not like the High School DxD world he experienced before. When he entered the High School DxD world before, although he had the advantage of strength, he could not guarantee that he could absolutely control the situation. He could only use schemes and smoke bombs to gradually erode the interests of that world. Therefore, it is very normal to enter the game in advance and make arrangements.

But this time is different. The technology in the Infinite Stratos world is just so-so. Compared to the Hundred world he experienced before, it's about the same. Even though Li Wei could roam freely in such a world before, not to mention the leap in strength he has gained in the High School DxD world, he is now practically no different from a creator god in the Infinite Stratos world. As long as he wants, no matter what it is, it is not difficult. It's just a matter of time.

Li Wei went to the balcony of the apartment and extended his senses outward. He then discovered many interesting things, which, from a male perspective, were not pleasant.

First, you need to know that Japan is an extremely patriarchal society. Although extreme patriarchy is not a good thing, the current situation here has gone from one extreme to the other. Japan is now "extremely feminist".

Li Wei scanned outwards with his senses and found that the social status of men in Japan had plummeted, reaching two extremes compared to the past. However, the Japanese national character is inherently very extreme, with numerous historical records of jumping from one phase to another, so Li Wei was not surprised by this change.

This situation arose from the discovery of a revolutionary weapon. In the Infinite Stratos universe, a near-perfect weapon appeared, which, for convenience, will be simply referred to as "IS".

The prototype of this weapon was a spacesuit for outer space exploration, but under the template of the quirky female genius Shinonono Tsukasa, the original spacesuit was transformed into a weapon of war, possessing the ability to travel between the atmosphere and space on its own, firepower no weaker than a main battle tank, maneuverability no weaker than a high-altitude interceptor, and fortress-like defense, instantly sweeping all the weapons of the old era into the trash can.

Furthermore, there have been instances in this world where Taiwan's ISIS destroyed an entire naval fleet. As a result, countries around the world have focused their research and development efforts on this new weapon. The tactical and strategic importance of this weapon completely overwhelms all traditional weapons, rendering even aircraft carriers meaningless.

However, this weapon also has a problem: to activate it, one must be female. It is a genetically locked mechanism that can only be activated by women with XX chromosomes. Moreover, the core chip of this weapon has the ability to detect cheating. As a result, major powers around the world have made numerous attempts to crack it, but ultimately failed to break through the core secret. Consequently, the status of women began to rise abnormally.

Just now, Li Wei's senses witnessed something that would make any man feel aggrieved. On the street, a young man and woman bumped into each other. The young woman was looking down at her phone and not watching where she was going, tripping a young man who was passing by. The young woman seemed very angry and started kicking the young man on the ground like a soccer ball, mostly at the back of his head, while hurling all sorts of vulgarities. Judging from her clothes, she should be a white-collar worker, but now she looked like a delinquent girl who was out partying.

The young man curled up on the ground, too afraid to resist, and could only desperately protect the back of his head. The young woman who had hit him kicked him harder and harder, kicking him more than thirty times until she was panting and had to stop.

The men around were angry but dared not speak out, while the women cheered loudly, and some even clapped.

The woman who kicked the man lifted her head, spat on the man lying on the ground, cursed a few more times, and left amidst the praise and cheers of many women.

Li Wei was surprised. The conflict between men and women in this world had become so acute. This situation was bound to cause problems sooner or later. The more severe the oppression now, the more devastating the retaliation would be.

This weapon has been around for several years. With its rise, women's social status has been abnormally and excessively elevated, resulting in the current situation.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··

If this is the case even in Japan, the situation in other countries is probably similar, with minor differences.

The works of the great writer, whether the original works or the subsequent manga and anime adaptations, simply place the perspective of the works within IS Academy. Compared with the outside world, the ivory tower of the academy can be described as a blank slate.

Li Wei leaned against the railing and muttered to himself, "That scourge of a girl named Shino no Tsukasa has made a mess of this world. But it doesn't matter. Now that I've come to this world, I'm going to set things right. Since she's made all the men in the world suffer, I'll make her suffer too."

... .....

In the previous world, Li Wei focused on increasing his strength. In this world, there is nothing that can increase his strength, so he plans to focus on accumulating points. The more points the better, and no matter how many there are, they won't get too hot to handle.

Li Wei's keen senses allowed him to perceive the immense resentment gathering in the sky. If this resentment were to manifest as a curse, he would have been crushed and killed by such power in the Saekano world. One can imagine how profound the resentment of men in this world is.

Li Wei felt he should do something, otherwise, if things continued like this, once the male side deciphered the core secrets of IS, a gender war would inevitably break out, and at that time, some unimaginable tragedies would probably occur.

As the saying goes, the harsher the oppression now, the harsher the retaliation later.

It's like a volcanic eruption. Once such an event has accumulated enough momentum, when it erupts, the entire human society will face a catastrophe, and it may even lead to the decline of civilization.

However, the current situation and the gender lock on IS were merely things that Shinonono Tsukasa found amusing. But considering that the great writer himself was not normal, most of the characters he created, with the exception of a few whose intelligence was barely passable, were of questionable intelligence.

Many viewers complained about the plot of IS from the beginning, saying that it was impossible to watch it with your brain, and that many plot points couldn't stand up to scrutiny. If you tried to think about it, you would only find that there were hardly any normal people in the entire story.

Chapter.The Bunch of Xiao

Li Wei decided to "learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians." Since Shinonono Tsukasa wanted to play with gender lock, he would play along too. He had thoroughly mastered the technology of the Hundred Armor Crystal. This relatively "idealistic" power, whether it was about explosive power or endurance, was no weaker than IS. It was a typical creation where the stronger the user, the stronger the equipment's feedback.

Furthermore, Li Wei has pioneered a new branch of technology in the world of Hundred. Now, with the Hundred Crystal, as long as the user's willpower is strong enough, the armor can be made to grow to enormous size.

This gigantic form is a double-layered, nested structure. This means that even if the outer giant armor is severely damaged in battle, it will hardly affect the core armor within. The real battle only begins when the outer giant armor is destroyed; the faster and more agile core armor gives the user of the Hundred Armor Crystal two lives.

What IS armed forces can do, Hundred Armed Crystal armed forces can do as well. What Li Weiwei needs to do is to seal chromosomes in their heads. Only males with XY chromosomes can activate Hundred Armed Crystal.
