A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

During the New Year, the two of them wore matching kimonos to visit temple fairs, participate in the New Year Festival in Asakusa, visit shrines, and even try making mochi together. Shinonono Houki also got a good luck charm for Rie. All of this made them look just like a couple.

After the New Year, IS Academy sent a message and even sent the two students' school uniforms and textbooks. IS Academy is very meticulous. For such valuable items, they did not use external channels. Instead, the academy's internal logistics department personally delivered the items to the recipient's door and only left after confirming that they were in the recipient's hands.

After the items arrived, Li Wei unpacked the clothes and took out the school uniform inside.

“It looks pretty good. When I was in elementary school in China, the school uniforms were a complete disaster. The quality and the style were terrible. Most importantly, they were ugly, so ugly that it was unbearable to look at,” Li Wei said, holding up the clothes.

Inside the bedroom, Shinobu Houki was also unpacking her own package. She put her school uniform aside and took out her textbooks first.

The textbooks from IS Academy are quite thick; a single rolled-up book could knock someone unconscious.

Shinobu Houki opened her textbook and started browsing, but closed the book after a short while.

Shinonono Houki said, "It's alright, it's not too difficult. For me now, it shouldn't be difficult at all. I studied the advanced knowledge on my own before. The IS Academy textbooks are more difficult than the general advanced ones, but not by much."

Li Wei said, "However, we cannot slack off because of this. Even if it is not difficult, we must be serious when we study."

Shinobu Houki laughed, "I know, I won't slack off. I finally have these abilities, and if I don't use them to the fullest, I'll be letting down Li Wei-jun's efforts."

Chapter 1. Within the Academy

After the IS Academy's prize money arrived, there wasn't much time left before the start of the semester. The IS Academy is located quite close to Japan, less than 300 kilometers east of Tokyo. The entire academy is built on a large artificial island and is connected to Japan by an underwater tunnel and a bridge.

The reason for placing it in this position was a rather deliberate decision. First of all, Japan itself is a crippled country with its armed forces abolished. In this world of Japan, even the Self-Defense Forces are rotten fish, not even office workers, and have no combat power at all. They are purely people who live off the system and hold official positions through connections.

Because Japan lacks combat power, and its Self-Defense Forces might not even be able to defeat the Yakuza and the police, the major powers are relatively at ease placing the IS Academy near Japan. After all, if the Japanese weaklings wanted to attack the academy, the academy's current students and faculty alone could wipe out Japan.

In this era where ISIS armored vehicles are the main weapons, Japan is one of the few developed countries that is not allowed to possess ISIS weapons.

While it's ironic, Japan doesn't openly have ISIS. Even the replacement aircraft are purchased privately by conglomerates, and their numbers are strictly controlled; exceeding the limit results in immediate sanctions. Neither Japan's US allies nor its neighbor across the sea, China, would allow Japan to possess too much power. After all, the actions of this wolf in sheep's clothing during the war are still fresh in people's minds, and many remain vigilant.

Many major powers chose to place the IS Academy in Japan because Japan currently lacks the capacity to cause trouble. If Japan wanted so many IS members, would it be planning to cause trouble? Precisely because of these concerns, Japan is currently in a very difficult situation. The IS Academy has become a hot potato. No matter what the Japanese government does, it is all thankless work, but they have no choice but to continue. This is the most frustrating part.

Of course, this is quite a spectacle for Li Wei to watch. What could be more enjoyable than seeing the Japanese get humiliated?

With a few days left before the start of the semester, Li Wei and Shinobu Houki took the underwater train that traveled between Tokyo and IS Academy and entered IS Academy.

After entering the academy, Li Wei and Xiao Zhizhi Houki completed the enrollment procedures and then received their class assignments and dormitory keys.

Within the all-female IS Academy, Li Wei, as the only male, has a dormitory located on the ground floor of a dormitory building, in the most inconspicuous corner. This location is perfect for Li Wei, who wants to avoid trouble. This location was also a decision made by his undercover agents within the IS Academy.

Li Wei has a very comprehensive network of agents within the academy. It can be said that he has people in every position, from teachers to leaders and board members. In fact, he has a large number of people in each of them. It can be said that Li Wei has already controlled IS Academy to a certain extent.

This is the terrifying aspect of mental magic. Without corresponding resistance, they can be completely controlled by Li Wei, without even realizing that something is wrong. They only feel that offering absolute loyalty to Li Wei is a reasonable thing to do. Their values ​​have been completely distorted by Li Wei.

Li Wei stayed in his dormitory room and put down all his luggage. After all, he would be spending most of his time at school for the next period of time, so it was necessary to decorate his living environment according to his own preferences.

Just after Li Wei finished tidying up the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Li Wei's senses had already told him who was outside the door, but he still pretended not to know.

“It’s me, Houki.”

"wait a minutes."

Li Wei opened the door, and outside stood Shinonono Houki, dressed in a white IS Academy uniform, looking pure and charming. Li Wei inwardly sighed, thinking that the person who designed this uniform must have some real talent. Although this uniform gave people a feeling of being very covered up, it also had a kind of ascetic feeling like a nun's habit, with an indescribable eroticism.

With her hands behind her back, Shinonome Houki smiled and said, "It's almost lunchtime. I'm heading to the cafeteria. What about you, Li Weijun?"

Li Wei said, "I just finished tidying up my room and I'm a little hungry. The IS Academy cafeteria card allows unlimited spending, and as long as you can finish the food, there will be no penalty. It's quite friendly for a big eater like me."

Li Wei is someone who enjoys good food, so even with deliberate restraint, his appetite is much larger than the average person. The college's cafeteria card is a benefit for students and faculty; there's no spending limit. Within the cafeteria, the college reimburses all consumption, regardless of the amount. However, there's a daily limit of $4 at other on-campus food vendors; anything exceeding $4 must be paid for by the student themselves.

Of course, a daily limit of $4 is more than enough for the vast majority of teachers and students, and those privileged young ladies with connections have no shortage of money, so such a limit is very reasonable.

Shinonono Houki smiled and said, "I've always heard that the cafeteria at IS Academy is very luxurious. I'm really afraid I'll gain weight during the years I've been studying here."

Li Wei said, "With your daily exercise routine, it's very difficult for you to gain weight. Don't think that gaining weight is an easy thing for a martial artist who persists in practicing martial arts."

The two left the dormitory and followed the directions on the electronic map to the nearest cafeteria. IS Academy itself is like a small city, so it has multiple cafeterias. The two had a simple lunch, which also served as a chance to experience the culinary skills of the cafeteria they would be dealing with for the next few years. It was, to say the least, a luxurious experience.

After a satisfying meal, the two headed back towards their dormitory. Shinonome Houki wasn't very familiar with the academy yet, and feeling sleepy after lunch, she planned to take this time to rest and then go out to familiarize herself with the academy after her afternoon nap. After all, she had only just completed her registration and there were still a few days before the official start of the semester, so this was a good opportunity to get acquainted with the environment.

Li Wei, on the other hand, didn't have this problem, because his senses had already covered the entire academy. The academy had no secrets from him. Of course, there were some things that could only be done but not said, which was why he disguised himself as an ordinary person.

Chapter 1. Familiarizing Yourself with the Environment

Shinobu Houki returned to her dormitory, while Li Wei carefully sorted out the things he had sensed at IS Academy. Although there weren't many things, he habitually wanted to have everything under his control.

The IS Academy itself has a large number of affiliated research institutions, which are classified in a very complicated way. Some institutions are the type that can be put on the public eye, which is typical for fraudulently obtaining funding. Other institutions, because their research projects are not very humane, can only be kept underground, with no hope of ever seeing the light of day. Even their funding is collected from other departments by deducting points here and there.

Li Wei knew so much about this because he had previously brainwashed the top person in charge of the research department at the academy.

Previously, the head of the research institution gave Li Wei a list of research institutions, which clearly recorded the location of each institution and the projects they were researching. Now, Li Wei's task is to match these research institutions with the list and keep track of their specific movements.

For Li Wei, who possessed sensory abilities, this matter was not complicated. He finished his work in less than ten minutes. The list contained the names of several research institutions, but only one matched. This particular research institution had deceived even the head of the organization, secretly conducting extremely inhumane and cruel projects. Li Wei scanned the list with his senses and found that the research institution was researching brain-computer interfaces, but it had gone astray, pursuing the path of human mechanization, trying to use machines to replace the fragile human body and unleash the full combat power of the IS armor.

This path is commonly known as "the flesh and blood are weak, the machinery rises," but to be honest, in Li Wei's view, it is a one-way street for those who want "great power to return to themselves." Moreover, even if one stops being human, there is still a ceiling to one's strength. After reaching a certain level, in order to increase combat power, one can only keep increasing physical size to add equipment and weapons. In the end, one will completely lose the appearance of a human.

From Li Wei's perspective, this is a ridiculously wrong path with no future. Even if he gains power, what good is it if he becomes a monster without emotions? Moreover, machines decay, and pursuing mechanical advancement doesn't guarantee absolute immortality. Although mechanical advancement can grant individuals a longer lifespan, this extension has its limits.

This clandestine research institution was arguably one of the unstable factors within the academy, but Li Wei didn't intend to eliminate them so easily, as doing so would expose his secrets.

Besides this research institution, other institutions were also causing trouble, but the extent of their destruction was far less than that of the institution that worked on mechanical lifting, so Li Wei turned a blind eye to it.

During this expansion of his perception, Li Wei not only observed the research institutions but also the important female characters who appeared in the original storyline. He wanted to understand their personalities in advance so that he wouldn't accidentally step on a landmine when interacting with them in the future. However, there weren't many storyline characters who had already enrolled at the school yet.

In the afternoon, Houki Shinonono, having woken up from her nap, went downstairs to find Li Weiqi to go out. The two lived in the same dormitory building, just on different floors, making it very convenient for them to move around. At IS Academy, it's common for two people to share a room, but Li Weiqi, due to his own arrangements, had a room to himself.

Shinonono Houki entered Li Wei's dormitory and said, "Li Wei-kun, you have a dormitory room by yourself, but I have a dormitory room for two people."

Li Wei smiled and asked, "What kind of person is your roommate? Is he easy to get along with?"

The image of that timid girl flashed through Shinobu Houki's mind. She was a rather cute girl. Although she was a foreigner, she had a name similar to that of a Japanese person, and it was also the very rare surname "Karishi". If you didn't see her face and only heard her name, you would think she was Japanese.

Houki Shinonono said, "She's a very cute child, but her personality is too gentle. I always feel that she's not very suitable to be a pilot."

Li Wei placed his hand on Shinonono Houki's head and gently rubbed it, saying with a smile, "You can't judge a book by its cover. A person who looks weak on the outside may have a heart that is far stronger than the average person. So, you have to learn to see into a person's heart."

Shinobu Houki slapped Li Wei's hand away in dissatisfaction and said, "Li Wei-kun is like an old man now, he's a bit long-winded."

Li Wei smiled and said, "I just hope you can get along well with your roommate. After all, we'll be staying in this academy for several more years, and getting along well with your roommate will make daily life more convenient."

Shinonono Houki's roommate is the student council president's younger sister. This was arranged behind the scenes by Li Wei. After all, Senju's personality is quite good, and she would be a very comfortable roommate. Rather than replacing her with an unstable factor, it would be better to have Senju instead.

On the surface, Li Wei is just an ordinary freshman, but in reality, he is the big boss behind the scenes who controls everything in the academy. All kinds of underhanded operations are as easy for him as eating and drinking.

Houkichi Shinohara asked, "Li Weijun, don't you have a roommate?"

Li Wei said, "The notice I received said that I would be living alone, even though there is another male student in the room. But the college must have its own reasons for making this arrangement. Anyway, it doesn't matter. The advantage of living alone is that it's quiet and I can live at my own pace without having to worry about my roommate."

Shinobu Houki smiled and said, "Although Li Weijun, your situation is quite good, I won't be envious this time, because the roommate the academy has arranged for me is an easy-going person, and I think we should get along well."

Li Wei smiled. He knew Geng Shizan's personality; she was a soft and cute girl with a slightly sickly air about her, an adorable girl who could evoke a protective instinct in people.

Shinonome Houki pulled Li Wei along to familiarize herself with the academy's environment. On the way, they encountered many other new students, all of whom looked at Li Wei with curiosity. After all, most students wouldn't receive official news about Li Wei's enrollment until after the start of the semester. Only those young ladies from powerful and wealthy families could obtain such important information in advance through their internal connections.

Because Li Wei was perceptive, he merely pretended to carry a map while leading Shinonono Houki around the academy. Although IS Academy was not small, it was not particularly large for an artificial island. In just one afternoon, the two of them scouted out the important areas and learned about the general layout of the island's buildings.

Chapter 4. Orimura Natsu's Visit

At IS Academy, there are a large number of electric two-wheeled vehicles that use wireless power transmission technology, so there is no need to worry about power anywhere on the island. As a result, the two of them were able to travel around the entire academy area in just one afternoon using these two-wheeled vehicles.

After returning to the dormitory building, Li Wei went back to his room. In his personal space, he took out his computer and began his gaming journey.

However, because the network cannot be directly connected between different worlds, Li Wei can only play single-player games. Fortunately, his game library is very rich, and even single-player games are enough for him to play for a long time.

Li Wei sat in front of the computer, playing "Amazing Cultivation Simulator". It has to be said that although the graphics of this game are not outstanding, the process of cultivating immortality is quite realistic. Of course, it is realistic in the way of cultivating immortality in the novel. If a monster like Li Wei, who can become stronger by breathing, were put in the game, it would definitely break the balance.

Of course, Li Wei speculated that true Qi cultivators should all be like him—monsters. Ordinary cultivators in cultivation novels would be walking experience packs when encountering true Qi cultivators. Qi cultivators would most likely avoid conflict with each other, because neither side could afford to lose a battle between monsters; coexistence was a relatively safer option.

Just as Li Wei was controlling his sect leader to break through his cultivation level, the wooden door to the dormitory was knocked on again. Li Wei wanted to complain that there was a doorbell, but no one liked to ring the doorbell and instead knocked on the door. Didn't they feel pain in their hands?

Li Wei knew who the person outside was; it was Orimura Natsu, who had just arrived at the academy. Because of his underhanded dealings, Orimura Natsu had been assigned to the room next to his.

For Li Wei, who can manipulate things behind the scenes at will, changing the dormitory location of an ordinary student is extremely easy. Not to mention the current situation, even after the students have moved in, Li Wei can still adjust the students' dormitory locations at will. What are connections compared to this? He enjoys the treatment of a behind-the-scenes big boss.

Li Wei opened the door, looked at Orimura Natsume outside, pretended to be stunned for a moment, and said, "You are the other person who passed the test before. I remember you."

When Orimura saw Li Wei, she was also stunned and said, "I remember you too. I didn't expect that you would be the one living next door to me."

Orimura Natsumi looked relieved and said, "I thought the person living next door was a girl. I spent ages thinking about how to say hello. It's so great that it's you. I'm not the only man here. That's wonderful."

Li Wei said, "I can understand your thinking. Sticking together for warmth is not shameful."

Li Wei stepped aside and said, "Come in and sit down. The doorway isn't the place to talk."

Orimura Natsumi nodded and entered the dormitory. Looking at the room that Li Wei had already decorated, which had a slightly otaku vibe, she said, "I didn't expect you to have already decorated your room. I just moved in and am still unpacking. I estimate it will take another two days to finish unpacking. I'll be busy these next few days. Oh, by the way, this is a souvenir. Please accept it."

Orimura Natsumi put down the snacks she was carrying. Japanese people are very particular about the details of interpersonal communication. Whether it is a stranger meeting for the first time or an acquaintance, they will prepare a small gift when they meet.

Li Wei looked at the items; they had been prepared quite thoughtfully.

Li Wei said, "There's still time. There are still a few days before school starts. These few days are enough for you to finish tidying up your room and get familiar with the college. By the way, there are shuttle buses outside the dormitory. You can use them by swiping your student card. But remember to return them to their original place after use. With those, you can go far."

Natsumi Orimura smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me. In this place where everyone is a woman, I can only feel at ease when I see you, who are also a man."

Li Wei said with a look of disdain, "That makes you sound like a masochist. My orientation is perfectly normal, although there are fewer and fewer normal women in this world these days."

Orimura Natsumi said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to think like this too. Women these days are getting more and more terrifying. It wasn't this serious just a few years ago."

Li Wei said, "Then you'd better be prepared. This is 'their' stronghold. Here, no matter what kind of difficulties or targeting we encounter, I won't be surprised. On the contrary, if they can speak properly, I'll think they're plotting some big conspiracy."

Orimura Natsumi swallowed hard and said cautiously, "It's not that scary, is it?"

Before coming to the academy, Natsumi Orimura contacted her older sister, Chifuyu Orimura. According to Chifuyu, the environment at the academy was quite nice, and the people were very friendly.

Li Wei said, "It depends on how you deal with this and how they treat you. If you just let things slide and don't care if you're treated like a plaything, then these past few years shouldn't mean much to you. But if you still have the most basic dignity as a man, or as a human being, then you'd better be prepared, both in terms of methods and psychologically."
