A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

German two-handed swords are mostly equipped with a counterweight, which itself is a blunt weapon. The German two-handed greatsword offers great versatility; it can be used with both hands to slash, or with one hand on the hilt and the other on the guard and the back of the small blade to execute spear-like techniques. It can also be used to ambush opponents during lulls in attacks, serving as a blunt weapon. In short, the German two-handed greatsword is a highly sophisticated weapon, a culmination of the art of cold weapons.

In comparison, the nodachi, apart from being cool, is not as practical as the two-handed greatsword or the zanbato. It's not even worthy of carrying shoes. But as I said before, the nodachi is cool!

Li Wei held the nodachi horizontally and placed it in front of Shinonono Houki.

"Can I try?" Houki Shinonono asked.

Shinonono Houki was also a little excited. Although her father, as the inheritor of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school, was also skilled in nodachi techniques, he was limited by his height and arm span and could only barely use a rubbing sword. The rubbing sword that Li Wei used could not be used by her father.

Taking the nodachi from Li Wei's hand, Shinobu Houki found that this big weapon was even heavier than she had imagined. It was not easy to hold it with both hands, let alone "draw the blade" like Li Wei.

Shinonono Houki tried to swing it, but the nodachi slipped from her hand, and she lost her balance, falling forward.

"Wow!" Houki Shinonono exclaimed in a cute voice.

Li Wei grabbed the sleeve of Shinonono Houki's martial arts uniform and pulled her back, gently placing his hand on her lower abdomen to prevent her from falling.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm sorry, the nodachi is a bit too early for you. That was my mistake."

"Thank you..." Shinobu Houki whispered, as she broke free from Li Wei's embrace.

Li Wei picked up the nodachi, sheathed it, and said, "That's all for today's training. The construction team will be coming to renovate the dojo tomorrow, so I won't be coming for the next few days."

Shinobu felt a little disappointed. She always felt strange without Li Wei by her side, as she had gotten used to having him around.

Shinonono Houki said, "I don't know how long this renovation will last. I really hope it can be completed soon. If the dojo at home can't be used, I'll have to practice at the school dojo."

Li Wei placed his hand on the top of Shinonono Houki's head, gently stroking her hair, and said with a smile, "It's good enough that you can practice. The school's dojo is fine too. I haven't even had a place to practice these past few days."

Li Wei was genuinely practicing the techniques of using the nodachi, after all, this thing is good for showing off, even if it's not particularly high-class, as long as it looks cool, that's all that matters.

Chapter 4. Backend Testing

Over the next few days, Li Wei didn't go to the kendo dojo. Instead, he studied the nodachi swordsmanship of the Yagyu Shinkage-ryu school. He then discovered that this technique could be combined with the Shin-i-ho style from China and the Toyama-ryu style from Japan. As for footwork, the wandering steps of the Guazhang style were sufficient. If he was wearing crystal armor or IS armor, he could leave the movement to the AI ​​and just focus on attacking.

The researcher's clone was still working overtime, though it only appeared to be working overtime to outsiders. In reality, the researcher's clone was simply eliminating the defects that the crystal weapon had deliberately created.

On Li Wei's side, he truly began to study various traditional martial arts and killing techniques. He then discovered that these things were really useful, especially since he was an extraordinary being. After integrating this fighting style into himself, his close combat ability was greatly improved. Unlike his time in the King of Fighters world, where he relied entirely on speed and strength to overwhelm his opponents, the improvement he received now was more in terms of "skill".

Some things are like looking through a thin sheet of paper; if you don't break through it, they're nothing. But once you see through them, you'll find that they're really useful and can last a long time.

Half a month passed after the kendo dojo was renovated. When Li Wei returned to the kendo dojo, there were only a few days left before the IS Selector Selection Agency came to conduct the screening.

A few days passed in a flash, and on the day of the selection meeting, Li Wei and Xiao Zhizhi Houki went to the venue together.

"So many people." Shinonono Houki shaded her eyes with her hand, looking at the crowd in front of her. She felt completely numb because there were just too many people participating in the test. It was like entering an anthill. People with trypophobia would probably be feeling their scalp tingling at this point.

“Let’s go, let’s register and get it first. Your school is really irresponsible. They didn’t even bother to organize a comprehensive test. They made the students come to the venue on their own. They only check the test results reports from the venue afterwards. Tsk tsk.” Li Wei shook his head and said.

Shinobu Houki didn't know what to say. After all, not every country can maintain order while having a strong mobilization capacity like Japan. Japan is in such a "disorganized" state because it doesn't have that kind of ability.

Shinonono Houki figured she wouldn't pass anyway, so she was just going through the motions, got the test report, and left.

Houki Shinonono said, "Then I'll go queue up. What about you, Li Weijun? I don't know how long it will take to wait outside. Let's find a coffee shop to sit down."

Li Wei nodded and said, "I've never been here before. I'll just wander around. Call me when you're done with the test."

Houki Shinohara nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go now."

Li Wei watched as Shinonono Houki, who had already joined the team, waved to him, and then waved back before finding a place to sit down.

At the venue, the staff had already completed all the preparations. In the extremely secluded back area, three spare test ISs had been set up, just waiting for Li Wei and Orihana Natsumi to activate them.

Li Wei looked around. Most of the people were women, with only a very few men, and many of the women made no attempt to hide their hostility towards the men. Li Wei thought of the extreme feminism of Japan in the past; now it seemed to have resurfaced.

Ironically, those women looked at other men with hostility, but when they saw him, their eyes gleamed with desire. It has to be said that when faced with desire, both men and women are so genuine.

Activating his senses, Li Wei confirmed that the backstage staff had completed their tasks and cleared the area. He then stood up, intending to take a detour into the backstage area of ​​the venue. After all, entering directly from the main entrance would be too conspicuous and easily spotted by others.

Li Wei sensed that besides himself, there was another person heading towards the backstage area of ​​the venue. This person was the lost Orimura Natsumi. Li Wei simply smiled at this. In the original story, Orimura Natsumi was like a puppet, being led by the nose the whole time, except that the mastermind behind it was that crazy woman, Shinonono Tsukasa. Now, it was him.

As for Natsumi Orimura, Li Wei's impression of her was neither good nor bad. She was just a typical Japanese light novel protagonist, with the typical slowness and indecisiveness of most Japanese light novel protagonists. In comparison, Li Wei preferred the decisive personalities of Ainz Ooal Gown and Tanya the Young Girl, who would do what they decided to do, had amazing action capabilities, and were not easily talked down. Alternatively, a protagonist like Spider-Man would also be acceptable.

In Li Wei's opinion, Orimura Natsu is only slightly better than a male protagonist like Ito Makoto. The only redeeming quality is that Orimura Natsu hasn't made any fundamental mistakes, which isn't worth criticizing. Her biggest problem is her indecisiveness. Li Wei used to prefer reading novels on Chinese online bookstores because the male protagonists in Chinese web novels are very goal-oriented, driven, and decisive. It's been a long time since we've seen such male protagonists in Japanese light novels. Japanese light novels are at least thirty years behind Chinese web novels, so the number of male protagonists in Japanese light novels who can win the favor of Chinese readers is extremely small.

Relying on his senses, Li Wei moved forward without hesitation, making seven turns and passing through a long passage before entering the area where the test IS was placed.

In the open space, three first-generation ISs were parked for quality testing. At the front of the venue, which was the official testing area, was another first-generation IS. The IS had been specially modified, with all its weapons and power systems removed. It was just a large, immovable armor. Even if someone could pass the test, they would not be able to actually activate these ISs or even take them away.

This is also to prevent ISIS from being taken away by terrorists, since those terrorists have parts of ISIS armor. For example, a first-generation model like this could be repaired and patched up to become a complete armored vehicle. This is something we have to guard against.

IS Academy has considerable experience in dealing with such matters and has naturally taken these special circumstances into account.

As Li Wei approached the damaged test armor, the armor reacted. The helmet, which was empty inside, suddenly lifted up, and the blue-eyed monitors stared directly at Li Wei.

At the same time, the core of this IS armored vehicle activated overload mode, calculating the synchronization rate between Li Wei and the core. Compared to the powerful computing power of a conventional computing core, the IS core instantly calculated the synchronization rate, and simultaneously uploaded this synchronization rate data through the internal network.

Li Wei sighed inwardly. The IS core created by Shinonono Tsukasa was indeed a remarkable thing. Although the computing power of the IS core could not match that of a supercomputer, it was far superior to the previous military computers. At least with this computing power, if the game were to be played, the game would not need to be optimized by the developers at all, because the computing power of the core could keep up. It could be built up as much as it wanted.

Chapter 1. Starting IS

Just before Li Wei had severed his connection with IS, a figure entered the dimly lit meeting room.

"Excuse me, I'm lost. Do you know how to get out? The roads in here are so complicated," a young male voice said.

Li Wei looked up and saw that the person who entered was none other than the original male protagonist, Orimura Natsumi. This was the first time Li Wei had seen Orimura Natsumi. Previously, he had only observed her through the perspective of a location-finding spell, but this was the first time he had met her in person.

To be honest, Natsumi Orimura is quite ordinary, the kind of person you wouldn't notice in a crowd. Of course, that's in this world. If it were in the real world, Natsumi Orimura wouldn't necessarily become an idol on the spot, but her looks would still be better than average. Her ordinariness is relative to the overall looks of people in this world.

Orimura Natsu saw Li Wei standing next to IS. Curious, she moved closer to Li Wei, stopping when they were only a few meters apart, maintaining what she called the ideal distance for strangers to communicate.

Orimura Natsumi said, "What are you doing? This is... IS?"

As a normal male, Natsumi Orimura has a certain understanding of weapons. Although he is not a military enthusiast who has a relatively comprehensive understanding of all kinds of weapons, he still knows about IS, a revolutionary weapon that ended the old era.

Li Wei said, "That's right, this is IS. I'm just like you, I got lost here and I'm also trying to find my way out. But it seems I've caused quite a commotion."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Orimura Natsu took a few more steps closer. When she clearly saw that the IS was already activated, a look of shock appeared on her face, and she said, "~Eh? It's activated?!"

Li Wei said, "Yeah, this thing seems to be malfunctioning. It started up before I even touched it."

Orimura Natsumi said, "Isn't IS something that only women can activate? This—..."

Orimura Natsume's gaze toward Li Wei turned strange.

Li Wei's eyes sharpened, becoming like those of a hawk, and he said, "If you want to die, just say so. I don't mind sending you on your way."

Looking at Li Wei's muscular physique, Orimura Natsumi swallowed hard. If Li Wei really punched her with fists the size of a clay pot, she estimated that she would have to lie on the ground waiting for the ambulance to arrive on the spot, and even whether she could hold on until the ambulance arrived was still a question.

Orimura Natsumi said somewhat awkwardly, "It might really be malfunctioning. I'll give it a try too."

As Orimura Natsumi spoke, he walked to another IS and placed his hand on it. To his surprise, the monitor on the IS's eye lit up as soon as he put his hand on it, and at the same time raised its head and stared straight at him, which startled Orimura Natsumi.

Orimura Natsumi quickly said, "This thing really is malfunctioning!"

Li Wei simply smiled. This was merely the activation of a backdoor left by Shinonono Tsukasa in each IS core. It was a special core program located at the very bottom of the IS core architecture. The researcher's clone disassembled several IS units to study the core. The official explanation was that IS technology was used to make up for the shortcomings of the crystal weaponry. With the help of the official forces, the researcher's clone obtained a large amount of research material, allowing Li Wei to gain a deeper understanding of IS.

Shinonono Tsukasa is quite skilled in programming. He sampled Natsumi Orimura's core body data and wrote it into the underlying identification system of the IS core. Such an underlying architecture is something that no country in the world has the ability to change. Therefore, even if those major countries barely figure out the IS core technology left by Shinonono Tsukasa, the IS cores they produce will still be able to identify Natsumi Orimura.

To put it bluntly, as long as the underlying framework of the IS core remains largely unchanged, no matter which IS Orimura logs into, he will be able to activate and log in. This is something that the underlying framework of the IS core is designed to ensure.

This cheat code is incredibly powerful, and it seems to have been planned since the White Knight incident. To be honest, Li Wei really doesn't understand what this is all about. Is it some kind of "brother-in-law raising diary"?

However, to be fair, various major powers have actually reverse-engineered the core of IS, hoping to apply it to other weapons to reduce costs. Moreover, some countries are also developing IS drone technology, hoping to break through gender barriers and turn IS into a weapon that can be directly controlled remotely. In this way, it can also be considered an alternative way to break through gender barriers.

The core of IS isn't incapable of doing other things. It can be used simply as a computer core without any limitations. However, applying it to fighter jets and tanks would result in performance overkill and gender-locking issues. In other words, it's not worthwhile. Rather than wasting its potential, it would be better to focus on developing IS as a revolutionary weapon.

Shinononozuka's technology is at least seventy years more advanced than that of many major powers. To these countries, it's practically alien technology. They can activate the machine based on the corresponding data stream interface on the IS core, but after nearly ten years of research, they still haven't found a clue how to bypass the core's various limitations.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Therefore, until now, IS armor has always been a privilege of women. Apart from techies like Li Wei who have deciphered the core technology of IS and people with close relationships like Orimura Natsumi, no other man has been able to activate IS.

Li Wei looked at Zhiban Xia and said, "It seems you also activated the IS. That's incredible. Or is there a malfunction in these two IS units that allowed us to activate them?"

Orimura Natsumi said, "I'll try the one next to it; maybe these two IS units are malfunctioning."

Natsumi Orimura walked to another IS, placed her hand on it, and then started it up again.

........ .... .......

Orimura Natsumi looked completely bewildered, her expression instantly breaking down as she exclaimed, "No way! Are all these malfunctioning machines piled up here?!"

Just then, the lights suddenly turned on, and the woman stood at the entrance, looking at Li Wei and Zhiban Xia with an unfriendly gaze.

When the female manager saw Li Wei, she was instantly triggered by the suggestion he had planted in her heart. She winked at Li Wei, gave him a signal, and then began her performance.

Li Wei wasn't just idle during this time; he was secretly making various plans to ensure his smooth entry into IS Academy and avoid any unforeseen complications.

Just like many of the faculty and staff at IS Academy, who have already become Li Wei's pawns, it would be quite easy for him to do something within IS Academy.

The administrator said, "I didn't expect anyone to break in. That's my fault. Let's control them first and not use force. These two are rare individuals who activated IS as men, so we can't hurt a hair on their heads."

The assistant next to the administrator said suspiciously, "Boss? Those two... they sneaked in, they might be spies."

The administrator said, "Regardless of whether they are spies or not, the fact that they can activate IS as men is noteworthy. What spy would be foolish enough to expose themselves in this way? Are they reckless? Take them into custody first. I need to contact my superiors."

The person the administrator referred to as "the higher-ups" was actually controlled by Li Wei using mental magic. This was an arrangement that had already been completed; now it was just a formality.

Chapter 1.%

The manager said to his deputy, "You go and investigate the identity of the skinny guy, I'll investigate the strong one."

The deputy looked displeased and said, "That strong guy is handsome, but you kept him for yourself, Boss. That's not fair!"

The manager said, "That strong guy doesn't look honest. If you were to hand him over, you wouldn't get any useful information out of him even after a long time. The skinny guy looks like an honest kid. Consider him your practice subject, but no violence allowed, understand?"

The manager wasn't speaking in a consultative tone, but rather in a commanding one. Because her deputy wasn't under Li Wei's mental magic, she was afraid that entrusting the questioning to her deputy might cause problems. However, what she didn't know was that after asking Li Wei the questions, her deputy would also become part of Li Wei's camp.
