Charlotte nodded. If she continued to wander around outside, she would expose her weaknesses more often, so going back like this was not bad. At least Li Wei wouldn't ask any more embarrassing questions.
Back in her dorm, Charlotte immediately collapsed onto her bed, sprawled out in a starfish shape. Although she had used a mobility scooter while exploring the academy that afternoon, she still felt exhausted. The terrible experience of riding the military transport plane had kept her in a negative state all afternoon, and all the fatigue had piled up, making her feel drowsy.
Li Wei looked at the drowsy girl, walked over, gently shook her, and said, "If you're sleepy, take off your clothes and cover yourself with the blanket. Sleeping like this will only make your cold worse."
Charlotte, who was still half asleep, heard "take off your clothes" and instantly opened her eyes, forcing herself to wake up. It was only the first day of school, and if she were exposed now, it would be a big problem.
"I'm not sleepy, just a little tired. I came from France on a military transport plane and didn't get a break along the way," Charlotte said, sitting up.
To ensure her identity remained unknown, her father arranged for her to travel directly to the academy on a military transport plane. While commercial flights would have been more comfortable, they would have exposed her to far too many people. Furthermore, her father worried that the head of the family might break the rules and send assassins to kill her. Somanaya was a ruthless woman, and even though Charlotte's outward identity was male, she could still be assassinated to eliminate any potential threats.
Li Wei saw Charlotte's worries through his mind-reading ability, but said nothing. Every family has its own troubles, and in a large family like this, there are even more internal conflicts.
Levi also remembered Charlotte's nominal mother, Somanaya. She was a woman with a heart of stone. Although she was quite beautiful and had an indescribable mature charm, the things she did made even a "traitor" like Levi completely lose interest.
Charlotte's nominal mother, Somanaya, in order to consolidate her power and position, used her body to seduce her nephew, and at the same time used her private armed forces to assassinate those who voiced opposition within the family. She was a venomous beauty who was ruthless to both outsiders and to herself.
Although Li Wei had a fondness for beautiful women, he was not a person whose values followed those of officials without any moral compass. He would politely decline any advances from a beautiful woman who was ruthless and unscrupulous in her actions.
Li Wei said, "In that case, you should get some rest early tonight. Come over to the table and I'll take your pulse."
Charlotte looked puzzled and asked, "Taking a pulse? What's that?"
Li Wei said, "Chongguo's classical medical techniques for diagnosing illnesses, stop talking nonsense and come here."
Charlotte walked to the desk, pulled up a stool and sat down. Levi sat opposite her and placed her hands on the desk, keeping her heart and wrist at the same height.
As a cultivator who leans towards the Taoist lineage, Li Wei's research into medicine is a complete game-changer. Even without using any extraordinary means, his medical skills have already surpassed the limits of ordinary mortals.
·Requesting flowers·· ······
The reason Li Wei is using pulse diagnosis now is simply because he doesn't want to reveal the fact that he possesses extraordinary abilities too early. He already knows Charlotte's physical condition clearly just by scanning her with his divine sense.
Li Wei said, "Your body is weaker than that of an average man, and you also have some feminine characteristics, at least judging from your pulse. You've had a really tough time."
Charlotte wanted to refute Li Wei's statement, but she swallowed the words back. What else could she say? That she wasn't a man? For the sake of her life, she dared not reveal such a secret until her father won the power struggle. That venomous woman, once she found out she was a girl, would do anything to kill her here, even at the risk of offending the academy.
......... ... ...
Charlotte could only go along with Levi's words and say, "When I was a child, I had a serious illness. Although I recovered, my physical condition has been lagging behind that of my peers ever since then."
Li Wei looked enlightened and said, "I see. No wonder your constitution is so weak, much weaker than that of a normal man. I'll prepare some traditional medicine for you and give you a massage. In just a few hours, the effects of the medicine and the massage will be enough to cure you."
Charlotte felt a little flustered when she heard about the massage, but she tried her best to remain calm and said, "There's no need for a massage, the medicine is enough."
Li Wei said, "To ensure your condition, a massage is necessary, and since it's just a cold, all I need to do is massage your lower abdomen. To be honest, if it weren't for the chairman entrusting me to take care of you, I wouldn't want to give a massage to a man."
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Levi's words. It seemed that Levi had not seen through her true identity, which was a good thing. If she had continued to make excuses, it would have easily aroused Levi's suspicion.
Chapter 1. Solitude
Li Wei wore a disgusted expression, but inwardly he wanted to laugh. Charlotte was still too naive; he had only said something sarcastic, and she had taken the bait to prove her innocence.
Although Charlotte had experienced the trials of family infighting, she was still too naive compared to a seasoned veteran like Levi.
Li Wei said, "Just lie down and expose your lower abdomen."
Charlotte responded and obediently did as she was told, lifting the hem of her school uniform to reveal her smooth belly.
Li Wei glanced at Charlotte's abdomen and found it quite adorable, fair and tender. Her slender waist and fair complexion resembled the skin of a figure in an oil painting, so beautiful it seemed unreal.
Li Wei said, "You should work out more. You can't see any abdominal muscles at all. Without good physical fitness, it will be difficult to control the IS armor."
This isn't Li Wei being malicious, but rather that a strong physique gives one a significant advantage in controlling the IS armor. Both Cecilia and Houki Shinonono have visible abdominal muscles, though not very pronounced.
Charlotte's physical training intensity is noticeably lower compared to the other two girls.
Charlotte was speechless, because what Levi said was indeed true. In order to disguise her image as weak and incompetent, she would naturally not exercise excessively. After all, exercise could demonstrate a person's ambition, and in her situation, appearing ambitious would only bring her danger.
When it comes to perseverance in exercising, she is second to none. However, her environment forces her to keep a low profile. After all, in that environment, if she showed even a little ambition, she would attract unnecessary enemies.
Because the Denoa family had too many members, there was a long-standing situation of too many people and too few resources. Her official identity was that of an illegitimate child, not an illegitimate daughter with inheritance rights. However, not having inheritance rights did not mean that she could not obtain her own power and benefits within the family.
With only so many people in the family, if she ate more, it meant that others had to eat less. This vicious internal competition made the young people in the family look at each other like enemies. Her identity was already sensitive enough, and if she were to get involved in such a vortex, it would be easy for her secret to be exposed. So she was forced to become a parasite.
It wasn't that she wanted to be a freeloader, but rather that she had to keep a low profile and be a lazy freeloader with nothing to do.
Li Wei placed his hand on Charlotte's lower abdomen. His slightly rough palm made Charlotte blush involuntarily. It was the first time she had been touched by a man like this, and the experience was very novel to her.
Li Wei pretended to be ignorant, feigning ignorance of Charlotte's true gender. He gently massaged Charlotte's lower abdomen with his palm, while simultaneously channeling his magical power into Charlotte's body through his hand.
Charlotte's constitution is not very good. In the terms of traditional Chinese medicine, she has a typical case of excessive Yang and deficient Yin. This is probably related to the lifestyle of Europeans and is a constitution that most European women have. With simple conditioning, the Yin-Yang balance can be restored.
Considering Charlotte's dislike of the bitter taste of brewed medicine, Levi didn't intend to use that method to treat her body. Instead, he opted for a massage, a cheating method, with some brown sugar and ginger, which would solve the problem.
Li Wei gently rubbed her palms while stimulating acupoints on her lower abdomen. Soon, Charlotte felt a warm current rising from her lower abdomen and flowing along her limbs. Wherever the warm current passed, her muscles relaxed, her meridians opened, and she felt indescribably comfortable.
But this feeling was also somewhat strange, which made her afraid to look at Li Wei's face.
Li Wei said sternly, "We're treating you right now, so don't move around. We're all men, what kind of nonsense are you thinking about?"
Looking at Li Wei's expression, Charlotte felt a little ashamed, because that strange feeling had given rise to some chaotic thoughts. However, she couldn't help wanting to look at Li Wei; this racing heartbeat was something she had never experienced before.
However, Charlotte dared not look directly into Levi's eyes, only daring to steal glances at him out of the corner of her eye.
After a while, Levi released his hand, and Charlotte could feel the heat still circulating in her body. This strange feeling was difficult to explain with current science.
Li Wei said, "You rest first. I'll go to the cafeteria and bring you back dinner. I'll also borrow the cafeteria's kitchen to make you some simple medicine. Colds shouldn't be delayed; the sooner you treat them, the better."
After Li Wei left the dormitory, Charlotte stayed alone in the room. The quiet dormitory made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with me? My heart races when I see Li Wei. Is this feeling love? No, no, no, we've only met once. How could it be so fast!" Charlotte realized her own thoughts and, unable to accept this situation, she muttered loudly to herself in the empty room.
Charlotte frowned as she looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. She felt that many things might happen during her time at the academy, but she didn't know whether they would be good or bad.
When Li Wei returned, Charlotte was already asleep. She was not a very good sleeper; the blanket had been kicked off and she was sprawled out on the floor, completely lacking any ladylike demeanor.
While sleeping, Charlotte freed her headlights from their restraints, but because she kicked off the covers, her secret was completely exposed to Levi.
Li Wei picked up the blanket from the ground and covered Charlotte with it. The girl had been carefully hiding her secret, but as soon as she fell asleep, everything was exposed.
The person he lived with was Li, a patient person who believed in patience and not to rush things. If it were someone else, who knows what kind of chaos would have ensued.
Over the next few days, Li Wei remained quite restrained and did not provoke Charlotte excessively. Charlotte gradually relaxed and began to integrate into the academy community.
The academy life was uneventful yet fulfilling until the academy discovered the latest moves of the "Destroyer of the Nation" machine. The academy was initially disunited, but thanks to Li Wei, everything was brought together, allowing them to detect the machine's schemes ahead of time. However, the "Destroyer of the Nation" machine in this world was much smarter than in the original story; instead of a direct assault to seize the experimental IS armor, they used the students' names to infiltrate the academy, achieving their goal without bloodshed.
Chapter 1. The Schemes of a Nation's Destruction and the Industry
The original academy was a puppet controlled by many major powers. Each major power had a representative within the academy, so the internal affairs of the academy often resembled the United Nations General Assembly, with arguments every day but no corresponding solutions to be found.
This internal struggle is more like a form of stagnation for the sake of opposing. Many major powers, in order to protect their own interests, cannot allow other countries to obtain certain things, even if they cannot obtain them themselves. As a result, the academy's research progress has been stagnant in recent years, and it can be said that it is just living off its past achievements.
It was only after Li Wei secretly took control of the academy that the academy restarted some projects that had been suspended. At the same time, the upper echelons worked together more effectively, and their response to various external problems became much faster.
It's quite interesting that the IS Academy can be seen as a product of compromise among various major powers. However, China was excluded from the pie-sharing. Domestically, there were neither advocates for the interests of the academy nor corresponding support groups. There were only a few scattered intelligence personnel, which was quite pathetic compared to other major powers.
That is why, when they learned that Li Wei was causing trouble within the academy and was secretly controlling it, the domestic side, having no vested interests within the academy, wholeheartedly supported Li Wei's actions, as long as he handled it well and ensured his own safety.
For China, this kind of thing is like taking a shot in the dark; if you can gain something, great, but if you can't, it doesn't really matter.
When Li Wei arrived at the chairman's office, all the academy administrators, who were originally the representatives of the interests of various major powers but were now his harem members, were gathered there.
Watching this scene, Li Wei felt a surge of amusement. He wondered what kind of expressions those powerful nations would have if they knew their pawns had betrayed them. But what did it have to do with him?
"grown ups."
When Li Wei entered, everyone stood up and greeted him.
It's currently midnight. At this time, most students are already asleep. In the main building, apart from the management staff in the offices, only the security personnel remain.
"Please sit down. It's quite rare to see everyone gathered together like this. Tell me the details." Li Wei walked behind the chairman's desk. The chairman stepped aside and gave his seat to Li Wei, who sat down without hesitation.
He was now the uncrowned king of the academy. The students were unaware of his power, but all the higher-ups had been subdued by him through various means, and those who were unwilling to accept reality were forced to do so. Li Wei wasn't one to be violent towards women, but he wouldn't hesitate to use his fingers if necessary.
The head of the intelligence department placed the compiled materials in front of Li Wei, then returned to his seat and said, "Sir, all the information regarding the infiltration of the Wangguo Jiye is now before you."
It's often said that those above only need to give orders, while those below are running themselves ragged. This relatively thin report is the product of the entire intelligence department mobilizing its personnel. Although it may not be as sophisticated as the intelligence departments of those major powers, it is still quite remarkable.
Li Wei opened the document and began browsing. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No one dared to disturb Li Wei at such a time. Although Li Wei was usually very gentle with them, they knew that Li Wei was a being above the rules, a being far beyond the emperor. Serving a ruler was like serving a tiger. The only thing they could do was to offer Li Wei everything they could.
"Thank you for your hard work. Each of you deserves credit for this intelligence, and I will reward you later," Li Wei said without looking up.
Upon hearing Li Wei's so-called "reward," all the women in the office blushed. They were already Li Wei's women and had all witnessed Li Wei's floating islands. They were companions that Li Wei would inevitably take with him when he left this world.
For them, wealth and power were meaningless; they would eventually follow Li Wei away from here to a paradise free of suffering. On Li Wei's floating island, which they knew as paradise, they would neither age nor die, and could fully enjoy the pleasures of life.
The reward Li Wei referred to was ultimate pleasure, a pleasure that each of them had experienced, which is why they reacted the way they did when Li Wei brought it up.
Li Wei browsed the documents incredibly fast. Content that would take an ordinary person a long time to read, he could memorize with just a glance. He finished reading the not-so-thin document in less than a minute.
Li Wei put down the documents and said, "I didn't expect that madman from Wangguo Machinery Industry would also learn to operate within the rules of the game. The internal strife of the Denoa family has ultimately affected the academy. We can't pretend we didn't see this."
This matter involves the Denoa family, or rather, the mainstream of the Denoa family, the Somanaya branch. The academy's analysis is still unclear about the other party's motives, because the two sides have always been in a cooperative relationship. The cooperation may not have been very pleasant, but there was at least some trust between them. But now, that trust has been completely wasted.
The head of the intelligence department said, "Sir, should we keep a separate watch on that girl from the Denoa family?"
Li Wei waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. I have a certain understanding of the situation with the Denoa family. At least, Charlotte is not involved in this incident and is unaware of these things."
Charlotte is, after all, his intended partner. Even if things really need to be dealt with, only he has the authority to do so. Others, at most, only have the right to make suggestions, as they are doing now.
Li Wei continued, "This involves the studies of several new students, so everyone needs to be on high alert. The other side has infiltrated our stronghold, which is both our disadvantage and our advantage. Perhaps we can use the students who have come to our aid to trace the clues and find the person behind it all."
The World Machine Industry is an organization deeply rooted in Europe and America. According to the summaries of forum members, its history can be traced back to the end of World War II, and it has been developing for several decades. Its influence in Europe and America is intricate and complex. Many powerful figures have unclear relationships with this organization. It is precisely because of this that major European and American countries have never been able to completely deal with the problem of the World Machine Industry, because there are too many powerful figures behind it. This organization is like Head Serpent in Marvel, very difficult to deal with.
Seeing the somewhat serious atmosphere in the office, Li Wei said, "We've finished discussing the important matters. These things can't be resolved in a short time. Now, let's do something more pleasant."
The women in the office all smiled knowingly.
