A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Shinonono Houki, who was standing nearby, said, "Indeed, Ms. Maya doesn't look much older than us. If she were wearing a student uniform, she would be no different from us. At most, she would just be a senior student."

Chifuyu Orimura said, "Maya is quite an amazing person. Don't let her weak appearance fool you. She used to be a candidate for the Japanese national team. Unfortunately, she didn't continue down that path, but things are fine for her now."

Both Shinonono Houki and Cecilia showed surprised expressions, because Yamada Maya usually gave the impression of being a physical idiot who was not good at sports. However, it was actually this physical idiot who was once a representative candidate, so how could they not be surprised?

Chifuyu Orimura said, "Don't be so surprised. The normal her and the her when she's in the IS armor are like two different people. I even suspect she has a split personality. Her combat ability is quite strong. Even if Cecilia and Houki team up, she can take you both down in minutes. Moreover, she can do this with just 'Forging Iron'."

"You must be kidding! Is Maya-sensei really that amazing?!" Shinonono Houki looked surprised.

Chifuyu Orimura said, "Hou, you can't judge a book by its cover. Maya has a very gentle and soft personality, and it seems like anyone could bully her. But those who underestimated her back then all ended up getting burned. She's like a crocodile; only a small part of her is visible, while the rest is hidden beneath the surface. Maya has experienced a lot of battles. Although she hasn't shed any blood on her hands, when she puts on her armor, she possesses a warrior's heart that is no less than anyone else's."

Cecilia and Houki Shinonono both swallowed hard. They hadn't expected that Yamada Maya, who usually seemed so silly, had another side they didn't know about. If someone else had said this, they would have doubted its credibility, but they wouldn't have the slightest doubt about what Chifuyu Orimura said.

Chapter 1. The New Puppet Doppelganger

Just as Li Wei was enjoying his daily life with the beautiful girl, Shinonono Tsukasa, located in a high-orbit space station on Earth, was modifying a uniquely designed IS armor at her experimental table. After being provoked by Li Wei last time, she felt a strong sense of crisis and even harassed her younger sister, Shinonono Houki, much less, devoting herself wholeheartedly to the research and development of the new armor.

Beside Shinononozuka was a slender figure, one of Li Wei's puppet clones, and also one of his few female puppet clones. Shinononozuka was a very wary person, and Li Wei made this puppet clone female in order to gain her trust. In terms of appearance, it was based on Tifa Lockhart from "Jerusalem". Her appearance and figure were somewhat similar to Tifa, but her temperament was more sharp.

This puppet clone, claiming to be a visitor from another world, revealed some supernatural powers far exceeding those of ordinary people and some high-tech skills it possessed. After this clone, who called itself "Sophia," successfully established a cooperative relationship with Shinonono Tsukasa.

"Let's stop here for today. I'll come back in three hours to modify the remaining circuitry. The new technology still needs compatibility testing. For now, we don't need to use all the technologies on this armor. The frame of the Gale series is still a bit too soft." Shinonono Tsukasa put down her processing tools and lifted her protective mask. Although the space station has a complete air conditioning system, the temperature here has risen by two or three degrees due to the welding.

Sofia said, "You look like you're being chased by a monster. What's putting this kind of pressure on you? You haven't had a proper rest in a week. Are you sure you can handle it?"

Shinonono said, "I really am being chased by some monster. It's not safe here right now. I don't know why, but it hasn't bothered me for a while. However, it's always good to have the initiative in our own hands. Can powerful forces ensure our safety?"

Sophia laughed and said, "Am I on a pirate ship? If we really can't beat them, we can just run away. There should be relatively easy places to hide on Earth."

Shinonono said, "Indeed, with your help as a witch, hiding on Earth is not a difficult thing, but I am not willing to give up the foundation I have worked so hard to build over such a long time."

As Levi's puppet clone, Sophia naturally possesses some of Levi's power. Sophia's identity is that of a witch from a backward other world. In that world, although witches possess great power, they have been persecuted for a long time due to their small number, the ignorance of the masses, and the spiritual control of religion.

Sophia's identity made Shinonono Tsukasa accept her, and Sophia also brought a brand-new power system, namely magic, which made Shinonono Tsukasa's research more diversified and gave her more possibilities for developing her skills.

With Li Wei's deliberate flattery, Shino no Tsukasa has come to believe in Sophia. Sophia, who has nowhere else to go, says she is willing to stay by Shino no Tsukasa's side, and so the two form a temporary alliance.

Li Wei, hidden behind the scenes, could only sigh that the puppet clones were incredibly useful. If he didn't know such magic, many of his plans would be impossible to execute.

Sophia looked at Shinobu, who had started to rest, and said, "I really don't know why you are so hostile to men. Even when I was persecuted so badly, I wasn't as extreme as you."

Shinononozuka said, "It's different, Sophia. In the world you came from before, you could enjoy the life of an ordinary person before the witch's identity was revealed. But in this world, because of the development of the times, some old problems have resurfaced, so I took a different approach."

Sofia asked curiously, "The same old question?"

Shinonono Tsukasa said, "You should have finished reading all the books I showed you before. If you have, then you should know how many wicked things Europe did under the guise of witch hunting during the century in this world."

Sophia nodded and said, "There are no witches in this world in the true sense of the word. They are just pitiful people who have been falsely accused of being witches."

In this century of the world, it is a sad thing for a girl to be beautiful. If a girl's neighbor is ogling her body, all they need to do is report her to the local lord or church, saying that she is a witch. Then, as the informant, they can justifiably punish the "witch." Before the "witch" is sent to the stake, the informant can do whatever they want to the "witch."

Meanwhile, in the East during the same period, women's social status remained very low, and they lacked even the most basic personal freedom, just like in the West, except that they were not persecuted in the name of witches. In this era, everyone was competing to be the worst.

As times have progressed, women's rights have begun to be protected, and they have finally gained dignity as human beings. However, in recent years, due to the uncontrolled and excessive development of technology, ordinary people cannot even guarantee the rights of men, let alone women. Prejudice and arrogance have become the norm, and women's living conditions have become increasingly difficult. Therefore, Shinonono Tsukasa stood up and brought new hope to women with IS armor.

However, what Shinonono Tsukasa did was simply jumping from one extreme to another.

Shinononozuka said, "Although witch hunting no longer exists in this era, with the high level of societal development and specialization of labor, everyone has become alienated. I wanted to change the status of women in this environment. However, I oversimplified things. This world is a quagmire, and what I've done has been exploited. Now, I've simply gone from one extreme to another. I've actually become the mother of modern feminism. How ironic."

Seeing the mocking smile on Shinononozuka's face, Sophia said nothing more. Li Wei, who was hiding behind the scenes, initially had a prejudice against Shinononozuka, but after interacting with her for about half a month in Sophia's capacity, Li Wei finally understood why she was so extreme. It was nothing more than giving up. To put it bluntly, after things deviated from her original intentions, she could only give up because she couldn't control the development of the situation.

Shinonono Tsukasa had no way out, or rather, the women of this world had also lost their way out because of their own recklessness. The higher they climb, the harder they will fall. Shinonono Tsukasa was afraid, so she could only continue to run headlong down this path.

Chapter 1. A World Even Madmen Fear

Shinononozuka said, "And it's ironic, actually. Although I'm known as the mother of the new era of feminism, I was excommunicated as a woman two years ago at the Munich Women's Rights Conference because I wasn't radical enough. Hahahaha... How ridiculous."

Sophia wanted to complain inwardly. She felt that Shinonono was already an extreme feminist, but after spending time with Shinonono these past few days, she realized that Shinonono was a tragedy, a pitiful and clear-headed person who could only watch the world slide into the abyss. However, she was the cause of all this, so she had to bear the majority of the responsibility for the world becoming like this, which was her most tragic aspect.

Xiao Zhizhi laughed until she was breathless, and it took her a while to recover. She leaned back in her chair and said dejectedly, "This world is beyond saving. The higher those crazy women climb now, the harder they will fall in the future. However, I don't sympathize with them. I sympathize with the ordinary women who are swept along by the tide of the times and have no choice at all. I am the one who has harmed them."

Sofia said, "Do you think men can develop new weapons that can counter IS armor?"

Shinononozuka said, "Sophia, you are a witch. In our world, someone like you is called a magician, and magicians are all intelligent people. In the past two weeks, you have read a lot of books. I think the answer to this question should be in the books."

Sofia said, "Are you saying it's just a matter of time?"

Shinonono no Tsukasa nodded and said, "That's right. My initial intention was simply to fight for women's legitimate rights. Our real enemy has never been men, but the main family! It's the main family's power that's stirring up conflict between men and women. Now, the main family has gone from behind the scenes to openly pushing things forward, directly escalating the conflict. These main family members are far too audacious. Even in this situation, they still dare to sow discord and try to profit from this situation. They are handing the noose that will strangle them to their own deaths to those who can strangle them!"

Sophia said, "In my world, according to the historical process of your world, we are still in the early Dark Ages. The most despicable thing in my world is the religious forces, followed by those feudal nobles. But compared to the main family in this world, those nobles and priests are simply ignorant lambs. I can only say that if this world really slides into the abyss, no one can stop it, not even you or me. Individual strength is far too insignificant in the face of such a tide of the times."

Shinonono Tsukasa gave a twisted smile and said, "Some people really deserve to die. This great tide of the times is also a reshuffling. After all the people who deserve to die have died, a new era will always come."

Sofia sighed inwardly. Shinonono Tsukasa wasn't entirely without extremes, but her extremes still retained a degree of rationality; she knew who her true enemy was. Unfortunately, most people were held hostage by their own hatred and emotions, which led to the current situation.

Shinonono said, "Sophia, you and I will both be witnesses to history. Next, let's watch a great war between men and women. Once all those idiots are dead, the remaining normal people will be able to return to normal life."

Sofia raised an eyebrow, poured hot water from the kettle beside her, and made two cups of coffee for herself and Shinobu.

Sofia pushed the coffee towards Shinonono Tsukasa and said, "Are you sure this war can end like this? Hatred can make people lose their minds. This civil war could even drive humanity to self-destruction. Although I'm not a native of this world, I have a good understanding of the inherent flaws of humanity. In a war like this, normal and rational people simply cannot survive; they will be caught in the middle."

Shinonono took the coffee and placed her hand on the unfinished IS armor on the test bench. She gently stroked the unpainted armor and said, "I know about this. Of course I know. That's why I haven't given up my old profession. I will use my strength to preserve the flame of humanity. I need your help, Sophia, to record this tragic and dark history so that future generations will know what the consequences of excessive indulgence will be."

Sofia said, "You have to do this yourself. As for me, I'll leave here once I find my way home."

Shinonono said, "But at least you're here now, aren't you? I know that criminals like me will eventually pay the price for their mistakes. I know I'm an extreme madman, but this world is a chaotic place that even a madman like me would be terrified of. I just hope that the images in my mind are just the worst imaginings and won't become reality."

Sophia, like her original self Levi, can also use mind-reading. Through mind-reading, she saw the inner thoughts of Shinonono Tsukasa, which was a hellish scene.

Li Wei, who was hiding behind the scenes, felt that he could give Shinonono Tsukasa another push. After all, Shinonono Tsukasa had already given up and the world had become distorted. A massive war that swept across the land to reshuffle things might not be a bad thing.

Furthermore, Li Wei also placed a researcher clone in Chongguo. The researcher clone's influence is now sufficient to accomplish many things. The existence of the researcher clone can ensure that Chongguo will not go down an extreme path. Moreover, the arrangements within the country have been completed. No matter how the fighting goes on in other places, the country can maintain stability.

In other words, in this global reshuffling, Chongguo can leverage its technological and cultural advantages to ensure its internal stability. The more chaotic the external environment, the greater Chongguo's future gains will be.

Whether it's the Chong Kingdom in the real world or the Chong Kingdom in this world, there's an unavoidable problem: very low per capita income. Although their land area is vast and rich in resources, when it comes to per capita income, they immediately fall into the level of the Third World. The reason for such intense competition is that the per capita income is insufficient to support everyone to live a high quality of life.

However, when a large-scale war breaks out outside, and it can be guaranteed that the flames of war will not reach one's own territory, once the other tribes outside are almost wiped out, then the people within the country can begin to expand outwards, occupy those unclaimed lands, and make those lands "since ancient times".

In Li Wei's view, aside from a few special individuals, foreigners are practically not human. How many die is just a number to him, and it can even free up living space for the people in his country. He wouldn't stop this kind of territorial expansion.

Chapter 1. The Researcher's Doppelganger's Inevitable Fate

Li Wei never considers himself a good person; just like this time, he will use this inevitable war to benefit the people.

As a ruthless Paradox Interactive player, Li Wei knew that in matters of national interest, any sentimentality would lead to serious consequences.

Therefore, even if such a war would kill billions of people in this world, he would still do it. Li Wei knew that to foreigners, he was an unforgivable demon, a war criminal. But to his own people, he was a hero hidden behind the scenes, using his sword to gain more land and resources for his people.

Li Wei then turned his attention to the researcher's clone, who, under the protection of several guards, was being transported, along with a group of armed crystals, to a weapons testing ground located on the ground.

The researcher's clone sat in a Mengshi military vehicle, flanked by guards armed with live ammunition. To conceal his extraordinary abilities, the clone appeared extremely tired, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, prominent cheekbones, a thin face, and increasingly balding hair, resembling someone who had successfully cultivated immortality.

The researcher's clone said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'll have to trouble you to protect me during this time."

The guard captain said, "It is our honor to protect you and participate in the great rejuvenation of the nation. This is the proudest thing in my life."

The researcher smiled and said, "Very good, very spirited! The great rejuvenation needs everyone to have this kind of spirit. I believe that the future belongs to you. Whether it is the land on Earth or everything in the starry sky, it is all a stepping stone for us to achieve rejuvenation."

The military vehicles stopped at the test site deep in the mountains, and the vehicles behind the convoy also stopped one after another. People in military uniforms quickly got out of the vehicles one after another, and then led the researchers into the command platform hidden by trees.

This testing ground was disguised as a resort. To make it realistic, there were actually many resort facilities. The researcher's clone had been working overtime lately, which everyone could see. The higher-ups were afraid that this precious researcher's clone would die from overwork, so they strictly limited his daily working hours. But even so, the researcher's clone still looked very tired.

Therefore, choosing this location for the weapon test is also an opportunity to give the researchers a proper rest. The weapon crystal has finally been finalized, and all its performance has been improved. The data alone is enough for actual combat, but the final test is still necessary.

The researcher's clone was confined to the resort, while the military conducted intensive testing. After several days, the performance of the weapon crystal was tested, and the weapon deployed by the crystal was no weaker than the current third-generation IS armor. Moreover, there was still room for improvement in the weapon crystal. This part of the work was carried out by other research teams. The researcher's clone was now strictly prohibited from continuing to work because during a medical examination a few days ago, a physical problem was found in the researcher's clone, and he also had a serious heart disease. Therefore, the higher-ups did not want the researcher's clone to joke about his health.

The reason Li Wei added the physical defects to the researcher's clone was to prepare for his departure. After he left, the researcher's clone would become a vegetable due to loss of control. In order to ensure that the researcher's clone's identity would not be exposed, the researcher's clone would die of illness when his main body left this world. This is an absolute fact that cannot be changed.

Although this will sadden many people, Levi had to do it to give the puppet clone of the researcher a reasonable ending.

The researcher's avatar has already acted as a go-between. During this time, intelligence agents within the academy will contact Li Wei. All major powers have their own intelligence systems within the academy, and China is no exception. Therefore, the exchange of intelligence will not require Li Wei to leave the academy.

The researcher's avatar had already informed the higher-ups that Li Wei was a trustworthy comrade. However, the higher-ups needed to observe Li Wei for a certain period before making a decision on such matters. Meanwhile, Li Wei himself already had considerable influence within the domestic intelligence system, so the review process didn't take too long.

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

Inside the IS Academy.

On the playground, Li Wei, Cecilia, and Shinonono Houki, who had finished their training, sat down together. Li Wei and Cecilia had completed the training content in class, while Shinonono Houki was waiting for the others to disembark. Since she didn't have her own dedicated aircraft yet, her actual training time was less than that of Li Wei and Cecilia.

Not far away, Orimura Natsumi sat waiting for the others to disembark. Orimura Natsumi's private machine had been taken back by the academy, and now, like other ordinary students, she had to wait for a shared training machine, so her training time had been significantly reduced compared to before.

Moreover, the reason for his punishment by the academy has been leaked through various channels during this period. So now, even though there are only two men in the academy, the vast majority of women still dislike Orimura Natsumi. This is because what Orimura Natsumi did was indeed too lewd. Any normal woman would not have a good impression of such a lewd man who stays in the dark corner.

Shinonono Houki's gaze swept forward, lingering for a moment on Orimura Natsu's back before revealing an expression of disgust and disdain.

Shinonono Houki whispered, "...That girl, Orimura Natsumi, did such a disgusting thing and she wasn't fired. It's unbelievable."

Cecilia whispered, "It's probably because of Chifuyu-sensei. I've heard some rumors that Chifuyu-sensei signed some new agreements with the school. If it weren't for this disgusting incident, those agreements wouldn't have needed to be signed at all."

Upon hearing Cecilia's words, Houki Shinonono no longer concealed the disgust on her face. Chifuyu Orimura was practically their shared idol, yet this sleazy, dragging her down had forced her to compromise. Both Houki Shinonono and Cecilia felt an extreme level of loathing for Natsumi Orimura.

At this moment, Orimura Natsumi sat down alone on the ground. The girls in the class kept a safe distance from him, as if just sitting with him would be a defilement. The way the girls looked at him now was as if they were looking at a large piece of non-combustible garbage, making no attempt to hide their disgust and disdain.

Li Wei said, "Seeing is not necessarily believing, let alone rumors. Whether others believe it or not is another matter. When faced with rumors, we should just be cautious."

Li Wei himself knew the cause and effect of the matter, but the rumors spread more and more exaggeratedly during this period. If you didn't know, you would think that Zhiban Xia had given the old sows in the farm rice.

Li Weixin could only sigh that the diviner's soul was simply terrifying.

Cecilia said, "Levi, do you think he's innocent?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "I don't think he's innocent. Although a dormitory is a person's private space, he was still the one who took the photos without permission. His actions violated the rights of others, especially the faculty and staff who were photographed; they are all victims. That alone determines that Orimura Natsumi is definitely not innocent, and I personally can understand the academy's punishment of him."
