A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei nodded and said, "Wherever there are people, there is a jianghu (江湖, a world of martial arts and intrigue). In German, the word 'jianghu' can be translated as the underworld. People of all kinds with unclear identities come together because of their intertwined interests, and they will also have conflicts because of those interests. Chonghua Street is very prosperous, right? But not everyone likes to see this situation."

Laura wasn't stupid. Although Levi didn't provide much information, she could already discern the underlying power struggles from these few words. Such petty thieves could be lone wolves from out of town, or they could be acting under orders to deliberately cause trouble and damage Chonghua Street's image.

Although Chonghua Street is predominantly inhabited by overseas Chinese, it differs from authentic Chonghua style. Through integration with local culture, it has developed a unique and charming new style. This ambiguous exoticism holds immense appeal for European and American tourists. Many visitors from these regions make a point of visiting Chonghua Street when they travel to Japan, and these affluent tourists, wherever they go, bring business opportunities to the locals.

However, tourists have limited funds. If someone eats more, it means someone else will eat less. Who gets to eat the extra bite is a very delicate matter.

Chonghua Street is too bustling, which has encroached on the interests of other commercial streets and even large shopping malls.

Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents—Laura understood this very well. Therefore, it's understandable that there are certain security problems here, since competitors are often enemies. After Levi pointed this out, the intelligent Laura immediately understood many things.

Laura said, "So far, we still don't know the thief's purpose. If she came for my European face, it means she was sent by a rival in Chinatown to cause trouble. It's understandable that those people in black suits would beat people up so badly. However, they are quite cautious. They chose places where it's not easy to leave injuries. Even if the thief calls the police and gets a medical examination, it will be difficult to find any serious injuries."

The two left the alley and returned to the main road. The little incident was an interesting experience for them. When you're out and about, you always encounter unexpected situations. For people with an open mind, these unexpected situations can be considered a spice of life.

Looking at the bustling crowd around her, Laura said, "Since even a power like magic exists, are there other hidden entities within the human body, such as monsters disguised in human skin?"

Laura was very curious about this question. After all, if magic existed, then those legendary things must also exist, only those things were like magic, unknown to ordinary people.

Li Wei said, "Actually, the number of alien species is very small now because there is no protection and excessive hunting has caused many alien species to disappear into history. However, this is a good thing for ordinary people."

Li Wei was obviously fooling Laura, because there was no mysterious power in this world. All kinds of urban legends were just legends without any real existence, and all kinds of myths and legends were just rumors. These were all things that Li Wei had verified in his own way.

Li Wei continued, "It's become very difficult to see magical power in this world."

Laura turned her head to look at Levi and said, "Is it because of some reason that magic, or rather, the people who use magic, have declined, that's right?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "You could say that, because this decline doesn't discriminate between humans and aliens. Now all people can see are ruins and remnants that are hard to explain with current science, such as the Tunguska event."

Laura said, "I know that. After all, that explosion happened before nuclear weapons were invented. Some experts and scholars believe it was an asteroid that fell to Earth, but after so many years of excavation, no debris containing asteroid components has been found. It is already considered one of the world's unsolved mysteries."

As the captain of the Black Rabbit Squad, Laura possesses considerable authority. During a previous mission, she inadvertently came across relevant materials, so her understanding of the Tunguska explosion far exceeds that of ordinary people.

This is a mystery that even the German government considers unsolved. Now, hearing what Li Wei is saying, it seems that a mysterious force is at work, perhaps a magician who has mastered magic, or perhaps an anomaly.

Li Wei continued, "That's the trace left by the last magician in the world."

Laura said, "Levi, aren't you a magician too?"

When faced with this question, Li Wei did not give a direct answer, but simply smiled.

Chapter 4. Qualitative Problems

Looking at Levi's smile, Laura knew that he didn't want to answer the question, so she didn't plan to press him further. She knew that even if she pressed him, she wouldn't get an answer, and it might even annoy him.

Moreover, Laura felt that the amount of information implied in Levi's short sentence was enormous. If the Tunguska explosion was a trace left by the last magician in this world, then what about Levi, who could also use magic?

Li Wei's words were clearly contradictory, but she felt there must be a reason for this contradiction, although she didn't know the reason yet.

Laura said, "Since you possess magical powers, is there a kind of magic that can make someone incredibly hungry?"

Li Wei said, "Such magic does exist, and it doesn't have any side effects, but why are you asking about it?"

Laura said, "This is Chonghua Street, a place overflowing with delicious food. Isn't it a shame to come here and not be able to enjoy the food? If there were magic that could speed up the digestion and absorption of food, wouldn't that mean we could enjoy the food to our heart's content?"

Li Wei said, "So that's what you were thinking. Hmm, there is indeed magic that can fulfill your wish. Moreover, food digested by magic will be transformed into the purest power, hidden deep within the body in a non-physical way, and can be used as reserve energy at critical moments. I haven't thought about using this method to enjoy food."

Laura said, "Magic should be a very free force, right? So the uses of magic should not be limited by thinking. Perhaps magic can be used in ways beyond its original function."

Li Wei said, "That makes sense. Let me use a trick to avoid making too much noise and being discovered."

Li Wei snapped his fingers, then pulled Laura to a secluded spot and said, "Those men in black suits couldn't spot us because I used an illusion spell to eliminate our presence. Unless a camera sees us directly, the naked eye of humans and animals will simply ignore our existence. However, this little spell is also dangerous to use on the street, because because our presence is completely gone, we're easily bumped into."

Li Wei made a hand seal with his right hand, and bright light emanated from his fingertips, falling onto Laura's body.

Laura felt a warm sensation throughout her body, and her latent functions were also activated. The feeling of fullness that she had previously experienced was now gone.

The amount of blood in the human body is fixed, but its flow is redirected according to the body's needs. When a person is thinking, the brain receives more blood. After a meal, the body concentrates blood in the digestive system to quickly digest food, leading to insufficient blood flow to other parts of the body. This is why people feel tired and weak after eating.

Although Laura is a top-performing android, her physiological structure is still not free from human limitations, so she also experiences drowsiness after meals, just like ordinary people.

Having a considerable understanding of human anatomy, she naturally knew this, but now, sensing her own body, she found that there was nothing left in her digestive tract. However, this did not make her feel hungry. After the magic completely digested this food, the resulting "temporary fat" continuously provided her with energy.

This truly emptied her stomach. She could feel that as long as the spell's effect continued, she could continuously convert food into reserve energy. Now she was going to participate in a competitive eating contest. As long as she didn't encounter someone like Li Wei who could cheat, ordinary people really wouldn't be her match.

The wonders of magic opened a whole new door for Laura, and at the same time made her realize how terrifying Levi's abilities were, to be able to do things that defied the basic laws of physics. No wonder Levi was confident enough to face the entire country directly.

Li Wei said, "Now you can enjoy the food to your heart's content. This magic will last for a week. When the magic disappears, the energy you stored up in advance will also disappear without causing any negative effects on your body."

Laura nodded. Now that her stomach was empty, she had an appetite again. The aroma of food wafted around her, making her swallow.

Laura asked, "Can I learn magic?"

Li Wei said, "Why do you want to learn magic? It's impossible for someone without the necessary qualities to learn magic."

Laura said, "You can't rely on others all the time. Levi, you helped me this time, but you can't help me every time, right? So I need to learn some self-defense skills to protect myself and the people around me. But then again, don't I have the skills to learn?"

Li Wei said, "Right now, you don't have the lungs to learn magic."

Laura was taken aback by Levi's words, because Levi did not say directly that she did not have the quality, but rather that she did not have the quality for the time being. In other words, once she met certain conditions, she would be able to possess the quality to learn magic.

Humans are creatures that experience fear and inertia when faced with difficulties. However, if they can still see hope when facing difficulties, their inner desire to strive will be ignited, and they will find ways to solve problems and overcome difficulties.

Laura had made up her mind that no matter how demanding the passing grade was, she would try her best.

Laura said, "I understand that ordinary people don't have the aptitude to learn magic. After all, magic is a magical power that you can't just buy any vegetable. It would be strange if magic were commonplace. But I'm curious, what prerequisites are needed to learn magic?"

With an embarrassed expression, Li Wei turned his head and said, "Let me keep you in suspense for now, because it's not the right time to talk to you about this, and you might not be able to accept those conditions."

Laura wanted to complain inwardly, but Levi assumed she couldn't accept the preconditions. She felt she was quite adaptable, although her adaptability had declined somewhat due to her current emotional state. However, having undergone survival training in the desert and rainforest, she felt no difficulty could defeat her.

Chapter 1. The Old Man's Assistance

Li Wei said, "Many things depend on talent. You either have talent or you don't. If you don't have talent, you have to pay an extra price to do what someone with talent can do. In this respect, women do have a certain advantage, but not every woman can accept this."

Laura was curious about what Levi said, but she noticed his slightly embarrassed expression, which suggested that the conditions he was offering might not just be harsh, but could even be quite awkward.

If it weren't for that, Li Wei wouldn't have shown that expression, but judging from Li Wei's expression, even if she asked, she wouldn't get a positive answer.

Laura said, "The price that needs to be paid is beyond what ordinary people can bear, right?"

Li Wei said, "Well, it depends on the person. Some people don't care about the price, but others find it completely unacceptable. I'm not going to tell you about this now, because this kind of thing can be considered both friendly and extremely unfriendly to women."

Laura didn't ask any further questions. Although Levi had said quite a bit, she couldn't extract any key information. Even if she continued to rack her brains, she wouldn't get a definite answer. Since that was the case, it was better to wait for the right time for Levi to give the answer himself.

The two of them skipped over the slightly awkward topic and started their food hunt. Now that she no longer had to worry about indigestion or not being able to eat, Laura would stop whenever she came across a food stall that interested her and buy some of her favorite food. Before long, her hands were filled with many paper bags of food.

Then Li Wei used his spatial magic to store all the bags of food into his mind space, allowing Laura to travel light and buy even more food and snacks.

This can be seen as a kind of retaliatory backlash, because due to the lack of affection before, Laura didn't care about the taste of the food at all. For her, the purpose of food was simply to fill her stomach, nothing more.

However, now that she has feelings, she can also have a passion for food, just like everyone else.

The two of them wandered around outside until after 10 p.m. before returning to the hotel with a large amount of spoils.

On the first day, Laura slept in late, which was rare for her. After having a simple breakfast with Levi, she followed Levi to various famous tourist attractions in Tokyo.

Since he no longer needed to hide the fact that he knew magic, Li Wei could confidently use magic in front of Laura. As a result, the two of them did not spend any extra time commuting. They enjoyed visiting the previous attraction and then teleported directly to the next one without wasting time on the road.

Around 2 p.m., Li Wei and Laura returned to Chonghua Street and went to the herbal medicine shop where they had made an appointment for the medicine.

As soon as they entered the pharmacy, the old lady who recognized Li Wei waved to them.

Laura looked around the pharmacy with curiosity. Such traditional pharmacies are relatively rare nowadays, and as a European, Laura was quite interested in the unique traditional medicine of this ancient country.

The kind-faced old man glanced at Laura, then at Li Wei, and said with admiration, "What a perfect match! Young man, you must have found these medicinal herbs for your girlfriend."

Laura can understand some Mandarin. She is currently focusing on improving her Mandarin. Passing the Level 7 exam is a bit difficult, but passing it is a piece of cake for her. She has superhuman learning ability, which is just unreasonable. In addition, she has been exposed to this kind of knowledge before, so she learns very quickly.

Laura blushed when she heard the old man's words. She secretly glanced at Li Wei out of the corner of her eye and saw the bitter smile on his face. She felt a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

Li Wei said, "Grandma, this is my classmate, not my girlfriend."

The old man looked regretful and said, "This girl is so beautiful, like a porcelain doll, and she's not your girlfriend? You're not lying to this old man, are you? Besides, the medicinal herbs you asked for are so valuable. If she's just a classmate, is it really necessary to bleed like this?"

Laura roughly understood what the old man meant. She realized that the medicine Li Wei had prepared for her contained special and precious medicinal materials that were expensive and difficult to obtain. She remembered this favor.

The old man looked at Laura and said, "Young lady, this young man is quite good. I'm getting old, and I can judge people quite well now. You've missed out on such a good man, and there's no going back. Besides, I don't believe him. He ordered 300-year-old ginseng and deer musk for you. These things are more expensive than their weight in gold, and he wanted a lot of them. You know what I mean, right? Young people are shy, but I'd really like to see you two together. A good marriage would bring me some good fortune and allow me to live a few more years."

The old man wore a joyful smile. As people age, they often enjoy seeing young people find happiness, even if it's just watching from the sidelines. This positive feeling is often the reason why older people pay attention to the marriages of young people.

Li Wei inwardly gave the old lady a thumbs up. This assist was truly remarkable, befitting an old woman who had eaten rice for decades; it directly hit the vital spot.

Laura wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what the old lady meant. Teased like that, she blushed with embarrassment, which, to be honest, was quite cute in Levi's eyes.

Laura, who is usually quite assertive, is now showing such a girlish side, which, in Li Wei's opinion, is quite endearing.

Knowing that if the old lady continued talking like that, Laura would probably run away out of embarrassment, Li Wei interrupted her, saying, "Alright, alright, she's very shy. This kind of joke is a bit too much for her. Besides, I have a girlfriend, but she didn't come with me this time."

Hearing Levi's words, Laura felt inexplicably disappointed. She thought of the girls around Levi, Houki Shinonono and Cecilia, but she didn't know if Levi's girlfriend was one of them.

Thinking about this, Laura felt a little irritated. She didn't know why she was feeling this way; it was the first time she had ever experienced this feeling.

The old man said, "Alright, alright, I really don't know what to say to you. You didn't choose such a pretty young girl. Is your girlfriend as beautiful as an angel?"

Li Wei simply smiled and said, "Grandma, bring out the medicinal herbs. I'll check the quality, and if everything's fine, I'll settle the remaining payment."

Chapter 1. A Girl's Dignity

Seeing Li Weina's helpless expression, the old man knew that it wouldn't be good for him to continue joking with the two young people.

The old man said, "The item has arrived. I'll go get it for you right away. The item you requested was quite hard to find. I had to ask an old friend to help me find it. After all, a ginseng that is 300 years old is not for sale. Now, once the root is used, there are fewer roots left. If you hadn't given me the right to pay a premium to buy it, no one would have put such a treasure up for sale."

Li Wei nodded, indicating that he understood. To be honest, old ginseng was not valuable to him. He could even use his magic power to rub old ginseng by hand. Moreover, old ginseng containing magic power was much better than ordinary old ginseng.

Artificial ginseng infused with a large amount of magical power, while not quite capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones, can absolutely cure most diseases with this divine medicine. Even cancer and severe, fatal pneumonia can be cured within ten minutes of taking the medicine, as long as the root is inserted. This is the domineering power of magical power.

Directly using magic to heal the injuries and illnesses of ordinary people can easily lead to a situation where the body is too weak to absorb the healing. However, if magic is used as a medium and the healing is performed through a guided method, the magic can achieve a near-omnipotent healing effect.
