A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

“I never expected to meet someone from my hometown here. What a coincidence! As an apology for bumping into you, I'll treat you to lunch. How about it?” Li Wei said with a smile.

"That's great!" Huang Lingyin said excitedly, like a fangirl. However, she was actually quite excited inside, just like she was on the surface, but she could use acting to cover up her true feelings.

"But you have to wait for me first, let me go to the restroom." Li Wei looked troubled.

Huang Lingyin nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you downstairs at the entrance."

Both sides understood that this was part of the performance, and that the recording of their conversation would soon be transmitted via data stream, thus completing the first step. After that, they wouldn't have this problem when they met again.

Li Wei pretended to go to the toilet, stayed there for a while, and then met up with Huang Lingyin to have lunch in the cafeteria. After lunch, Li Wei and Huang Lingyin parted ways and returned to their dormitory for a nap.

Just as Li Wei was preparing for a short rest, Cecilia appeared in his senses. Li Wei knew that his lunch break was over. Just as he stood up, there was a knock on the wooden door of the room.

Li Wei opened the wooden door, and Cecilia, dressed in casual clothes, was standing outside. The golden-haired girl must have just taken a bath, as her hair was still a little damp and she had a faint scent of shower gel on her body.

Cecilia entered the room and closed the door behind her. Before Li Wei could react, Cecilia pushed him down onto the bed, straddled his chest, and looked at him with hostility.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so serious?" Li Wei said with a smile.

"Who was the girl you had lunch with today?" Cecilia's voice unconsciously rose.

Li Wei crossed his arms and said, "It's an ex-girlfriend I just met today, so it's understandable."

“Alright, then I’ll listen to your explanation.” Cecilia felt she should give Levi a chance to speak, at least to let him know that she wasn’t someone who liked to argue unreasonably.

Chapter 1. The Riddler

Li Wei didn't plan to reveal Huang Lingyin's true colors for the time being, so he used the same excuse he used to deal with others, and explained what had happened in less than a minute.

Cecilia was extremely embarrassed. She hadn't expected that she had misunderstood Li Wei. This reminded her of a saying her elders had once told her: "Seeing is not believing."

Cecilia told herself that if she encountered similar situations or other things that could easily lead to misunderstandings in the future, she should not rush to make a decision, but should first clarify the matter to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

“That’s roughly how it is. That girl, like me, comes from that ancient country across the sea,” Li Wei said.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you." Cecilia's face was already flushed. The reason she took a shower before coming was to calm herself down with the cold, but when she saw Li Wei, all her composure vanished. All she wanted to do was question Li Wei about who the girl she didn't recognize was.

After all, Huang Lingyin was a beautiful woman with outstanding looks. Although she was a bit thin, it did not affect her cuteness. When she saw Huang Lingyin sitting with Li Wei, chatting and laughing, alarm bells went off in her heart. Her first reaction was that, in addition to Xiao Zhizhi Hou, she had another competitor.

Levi sat up, and Cecilia instantly lost her balance. Levi reached out and supported her, preventing her from falling backward.

“Cecilia, may I take that as you being jealous?” Levi smiled knowingly.

Cecilia's pretty face turned even redder, and even her ears became burning hot.

“Who…who would be jealous of you!” Cecilia turned her head away, not daring to look Levi in ​​the eye, and her voice grew softer and softer.

Li Wei said, "Still being stubborn. It's not a shameful thing. Just like if you were walking with other men, I would get jealous too."

"Really?" Cecilia whispered.

"Of course, my possessiveness is extremely strong, to the point of being ugly. On this point, I have to accept my desires; I'm a very greedy person," Li Wei said, his argument unconvincing yet his tone assertive.

Li Wei said this because he had seen through the essence of humanity and human society. Human society itself is formed by the use of violence and law. When one’s power and strength reach a certain level, the law’s ability to restrain powerful individuals becomes almost non-existent.

Ordinary people are limited by their own power and must abide by the rules of the game in society, because these rules also provide protection for individuals who are not powerful enough.

However, those powerful and wealthy individuals, although they may not have any advantage in terms of personal strength compared to ordinary people, are able to exploit loopholes in the rules and use shady methods to benefit themselves, completely placing them above ordinary people.

Li Wei remembered seeing a news report when he was in high school. It was about a powerful "big shot" who used his position to enrich himself. He bought more than a hundred houses to house his more than a hundred mistresses. Moreover, his money could fill an entire house, and he was surrounded by his cronies. However, this "big shot" eventually fell from power. The extent of his corruption left those who knew about it speechless.

However, Li Wei also admired this "big shot" for one thing: many "big shots" fell from power because of betrayal and accusations by their lovers, but this guy was amazing. He had more than a hundred lovers, including many celebrities, all of whom were loyal to him. Even when he was brought down, his lovers were still talking about him. This is what Li Wei admired.

For an ordinary person to be able to maintain good relationships with over a hundred partners and unite this large family as one, one can imagine how strong their abilities are.

Li Wei knew his own situation best; without the floating island, settling his partners wouldn't be easy. That's why he admired the fallen "big boss." Although this "big boss" was morally questionable and had gone too far in shady dealings, leading to his downfall, Li Wei felt he could learn a thing or two from his experience with his partners.

"What's the use of being greedy? Do you want it all?" Cecilia showed a disdainful expression. Times have changed. Now it's an era where women are superior to men. In her opinion, Li Wei's idea is wishful thinking.

"That's right. From the beginning, my idea was to have it all. I hate making choices. Why choose more? Why can't I choose everything? Just because ordinary people can't do it doesn't mean I can't." Li Wei declared his scumbag nature.

“You’re not an emperor from ancient Chong Kingdom. An emperor could have three palaces and seventy concubines because he controlled the entire empire, and everyone had to please him. What about you? What trump cards do you have that would make everyone bow down to you?” Cecilia pinched Levi’s cheeks with both hands and gently pulled them apart.

Cecilia felt she had to wake Li Wei up so he wouldn't keep thinking about these nonsense things all day. Anyway, tomorrow was the day of the duel, and she would defeat Li Wei in front of everyone and use this method to determine Li Wei's position in the family. Then, let's see if Li Wei still dares to think about building a harem. She'll shake his brains until he's completely out of control.

Li Wei gently stroked Cecilia's smooth gold hair, his fingers slipping between the strands, reaching directly to the long, soft fabric of the advertisement; it felt incredibly comfortable to the touch.

Li Wei said, "As long as I'm stronger than everyone else, that's enough. Besides, I'm also protecting the academy. Soon, the whole world will undergo tremendous changes, and even the academy won't be able to remain unaffected by such changes."

Cecilia was somewhat surprised when she saw Levi's handsome face turn serious, even his demeanor changed.

"A drastic change? Could it be more serious than the White Knight incident back then? This world has gradually stabilized over the years, and I can't think of anything that could cause such a drastic change in the world situation." Cecilia nestled against Levi's chest, feeling his heartbeat.

“I’m sorry, I have my own stance, and there are some things I can’t explain to you right now, but I will protect you. I will also protect everyone around me and prevent them from getting hurt. Of course, I need a reason to protect them, at least a reason that can be justified to outsiders,” Li Wei said.

"So, you want to turn the academy into your own base? Or rather, your 'paradise'?" Cecilia whispered.

“It’s better than letting them all get killed. The world right now isn’t quite a powder keg; it’s more like a spring that’s been compressed to its limit. Soon, the pressure will disappear, and you know how springs are—the greater the force when they’re compressed, the more it bounces back,” Li Wei said.

Cecilia was a smart woman. Although Levi didn't say it explicitly, she had already guessed some of it. Moreover, the fact that Levi dared to say these things so boldly indicated that he already had a certain amount of influence within the academy. She had no idea how Levi had managed to do such a thing.

Chapter 1. Deep-seated Fear

Cecilia looked incredulous and said, "Have you already demonstrated your power within the academy?"

“Of course, the reason I dare to tell you all this is because I’ve already started to establish myself within the academy. ECHO monitoring is completely irrelevant to me. Even your ECHO recordings with Houki are reviewed by my people, so no matter what we talk about, we don’t have to worry about the higher-ups finding out.” Li Wei revealed a smug smile.

Cecilia was still somewhat in a daze, after all, such a thing was really unbelievable. The academy, even if it didn't have an ironclad internal defense, did have its own advantages in counter-espionage. However, even with such a strong defense, Li Wei had torn a big hole in it from the inside.

"What methods did you use to get those people to obey you? The loyalty of people in the academy isn't that low," Cecilia said.

The IS Academy possesses a wealth of counter-espionage measures, and coupled with its long history of intellectual battles with numerous major powers, it can be said that the Academy has developed a very sophisticated counter-espionage system.

Trying to turn such a core intelligence officer against his own is as difficult as digging a hole in a dam with bare hands, which is why Cecilia was so surprised.

“I naturally have my own methods. Please allow me to keep this a secret for now. The timing isn’t right yet, and the more you know, the more dangerous it will be for you. It will not only put you in danger, but could even destroy the Alcatel family,” Levi said seriously.

The next major change is the emergence of the Hundred Armor Crystal. Currently, the country has begun mass production of the Hundred Armor Crystal. Compared to the incremental production of IS armor, the Hundred Armor Crystal is like the T-4 and Sherman tanks during the war – cheap and plentiful. Its performance is no weaker than that of the current IS armor. Coupled with its overwhelmingly superior quantity, once the time is right, the whole world will be turned upside down overnight.

The researcher's clone has very high privileges and can access all data in the domestic database. Therefore, there is no need for shady methods; it can directly access all core intelligence. Through the researcher's clone, Li Wei learned the number of all registered IS armored vehicles in the world.

Currently, there are 1,174 officially registered IS armored vehicles worldwide. Including unregistered, unregistered units, the total number is likely close to 2,000. If you convert these combat units into conventional fighter jets, you'll see how staggering that number is.

However, China is now operating at full capacity to mass-produce Hundred Armed Crystals. To date, more than 100 Hundred Armed Crystals have been produced. If mass production continues at this rate, and with the subsequent expansion of production lines, the production target of 1,000 Hundred Armed Crystals can be completed in at most six months.

The Rabbit Clan in this world also suffers from a severe fear of insufficient firepower, so naturally, the more powerful weapons like the Hundred Armor Crystal, the better. According to the intelligence fed back from the researcher's clone, the decision-makers have added new production plans in the past few days. With the production quantities of the previous two phases combined, the country will have more than 20,000 Hundred Armor Crystals. This is the reserve quantity, which will directly overwhelm the current IS armor.

Even with Chifuyu Orimura's return to the battlefield, this overwhelming numerical advantage could not reverse the situation.

This is the inevitable trend of the times. Anyone who dares to resist the trend of the times will be crushed by the wheels of time. That's why Li Wei said that the more Cecilia knows, the more dangerous it is, and it may even implicate her family.

Of course, if Cecilia really found out about this, Levi would use memory erasure to erase the memories she shouldn't have. Although doing so would have some negative consequences, it would be better than something actually happening to Cecilia.

Cecilia was a little startled by Levi's serious expression. It was the first time she had ever seen him so serious. However, she could also sense his concern for her from that seriousness.

Cecilia knew that Levi was worried about her safety, which made her feel warm inside.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask about such sensitive things. But when I find out, you have to be the first one to tell me," Cecilia said with a laugh, her arm around Levi's neck.

"Okay, you still have Professor Chifuyu's practical training class this afternoon. Go back to your room and rest so you won't be too tired this afternoon." Li Wei gently patted Cecilia's shoulder and said softly.

It's not yet time for the fruit to ripen, so Li Wei isn't in a hurry to harvest it.

"I don't want to. It doesn't matter where I take a nap, isn't it the same here?" Cecilia snuggled into Levi's arms, showing no intention of letting go.

"Alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you." Li Wei pulled over the summer blanket next to him and covered himself and Cecilia with it.

Cecilia held Levi tightly. It was her first time sleeping with a man, and she had never imagined she would be so bold. But this feeling of breaking through feudal ethics gave her a liberating sense of liberation. Moreover, she firmly believed that although Levi had his problems, he was the right man for her to entrust her life to. After all, it was a distorted world where women were superior to men, and finding a man with backbone and without inferiority complex was already very difficult.

Cecilia is actually irreplaceable in this world. The precocious Cecilia understood the equality between people at the age of 18. When she was a little over 18, the White Knight incident broke out, and as a result, she witnessed the gradual distortion of the entire world.

She understood what Li Wei meant by "spring"—perhaps a trump card that allowed men to counter women. In the past ten years, too many absurd things had happened, and the gender conflict between men and women had accumulated to the point of being on the verge of erupting. It was just that women now held the advantage in terms of force, so men dared not resist.

However, if the "spring" that Li Wei mentioned could take effect, perhaps a brutal gender war would break out. This war would determine whether men or women would dominate society, and neither side would have a way out. The war would only stop when one side surrenders or is destroyed.

Cecilia feared that such a dramatic change would affect her relationship with Levi, and that it would shatter her family. In a world undergoing upheaval, no one can truly remain unaffected; she understood the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

Chapter 1. The Day of the Duel

The afternoon practical training class proceeded as usual, without any major incidents, and everyone carried out their training as usual.

Just as the course was halfway through, Chifuyu Orimura blew her whistle, and everyone who was training stopped, and those who hadn't yet taken a turn gathered together.

Chifuyu Orimura nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the class members who had finished lining up. After a period of practical training, the students finally looked more like soldiers, and she no longer needed to remind them of many things; the students knew how to do them on their own.

At the beginning, very few individuals in the class possessed a military mindset. Only people like Cecilia, who had received relevant training beforehand and had battlefield combat experience, were able to execute her orders accurately. But now, everyone in the class can do that, including Natsumi Orimura.

Chifuyu Orimura said, "While we're changing training units, I want to tell you something. There's a match at the arena tomorrow afternoon, and it's our class's match. Levi will be facing Cecilia. This match is also the class representative competition. I'd like to ask if anyone wants to participate in the class representative competition. If anyone does, I'll make arrangements."

Upon hearing Chifuyu Orimura's words, everyone showed surprised expressions, except for Natsumi Orimura, who looked completely bewildered and had no idea what a class representative was.

The so-called class representative is actually the strongest person in the class, similar in nature to the class monitor, but unlike the class monitor, the class representative does not have to assist the teacher with various trivial matters. The only thing the class representative has to do is participate in various competitions and win more for the class.

IS Academy is a militarized academy, so it also has a strong military-style dog-eat-dog mentality, where the strong get more and the weak only get the bare minimum.

This practice is quite cruel; ordinary schools would never allow such a thing to happen. But this is IS Academy, a place that cultivates the strong, so such practices are reasonable here.

However, this is also a healthy competition. IS Academy has a very good grasp of this balance because the academy will ensure that every class in every grade has the most basic necessities.

To put it simply, for example, in the senior grades where Li Wei is, each class initially has one IS armored vehicle for practice. This is the minimum number that will never be reduced.

Class representatives can participate in various competitions to acquire more practice units for their class, expanding the number to over 100. However, these acquired units are prepared in advance by the academy and are not units originally owned by other classes. Therefore, there is no need to worry about vicious competition causing a relatively weak class to fall into the abyss and never recover.

In other words, the class representative is a person specifically used to participate in the grand prix, a ruthless tool in the competition. The stronger the class representative is, the more benefits they can win for their class, which is beneficial to everyone in the class.

However, this is both an honor and a heavy burden. A series of victories can bring the class what it wants, but if it fails, it is easy to be blamed by others. This mentality is human nature, and even individuals who will eventually join the military system cannot avoid such emotions.

Chifuyu Orimura looked at the already arranged formation and asked again, "Is there anyone else who wants to participate in the class representative challenge? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, is there anyone else who wants to participate?"
