A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

The old man went into the inner room, and after a short while, he came out carrying two simply packaged small wooden boxes.

"Everything you asked for is here. You're an expert, so take a look," the old man said with a smile.

Li Wei nodded and opened a box. Inside was a dark, round, disc-shaped object. This mysterious object, which looked like a bunch of mosquito coils rolled up, was Deer King Musk, and its medicinal effects were much stronger than ordinary musk.

Li Wei pressed his finger against it, smelled it, then put it back in the box and sealed it, saying, "This is fine. It's actually better quality than I expected. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

The old man said, "Musk is relatively easy to find. As long as you offer money, someone will be willing to sell it. Those pharmaceutical companies have stockpiled some of this kind of treasure. They love easy targets like you who are desperate for medicine. If you're not in a hurry, the purchase price can actually be lowered by 10%."

Li Wei said, "It doesn't matter. I need the things urgently. Problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems."

The old woman smiled. She had witnessed Li Wei's generosity firsthand. Just the fact that he gave her the right to pay a premium to acquire drugs showed a magnanimity that few people possessed. If she were a little ruthless and manipulated the acquisition price slightly, this deal could generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in net profit.

However, she wasn't a shortsighted person who would do a quick and easy business deal. For a young tycoon like Li Wei, using this transaction to build a good relationship might lead to more good business opportunities later. Why rush things and limit the relationship between the two parties to just a business relationship?

As an old fox who has lived for decades, she is very clear about these things. Therefore, in this transaction, she only earns her share. Even if Li Wei investigates, she is not afraid. After all, she can be said to have a clear conscience and has nothing to fear.

Li Wei opened another box containing old ginseng and pretended to inspect it. In reality, his divine sense had already scanned the old ginseng in the box. The old man had not tricked him into giving him inferior goods; the contents of the box were worth the purchase price.

Li Wei took out his phone and started the account. Soon after, the old man's phone received a notification that the money had been deposited.

The amount shown in the payment notification surprised Laura. The old man hadn't lied to her; the medicinal herbs Li Wei had purchased were indeed more expensive than their weight in gold. She knew the favor she owed was enormous, and with her current abilities, repaying it would be difficult.

However, once she learns magic, she'll have the ability to make a lot of money, and then she can repay this debt of gratitude. But she also knows that such a favor cannot be measured by money alone, so she needs to become more useful and stronger.

Li Wei packed all the medicines into a bag and said, "Two main medicines are enough. I'll need more auxiliary medicines later, and I'll have to trouble you then."

The old man said, "The store always keeps the supplementary medicines you need in stock, and their quality is absolutely guaranteed. You can come and pick them up anytime you need them."

"Then we'll take our leave," Li Wei said, and left the pharmacy with Laura.

The moment he stepped out the door, Li Wei put the large bag of medicine into his mind's space. Laura was already used to this; Li Wei's various magical methods made her realize what an unreasonable power "magic" was.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Laura asked, "What do we do next?"

Li Wei said, "As for me, I'm going back to the hotel. I plan to slightly modify the hotel room and turn it into a temporary alchemy room to refine the pills that can cure you."

Laura said, "Isn't alchemy a power wielded by immortals and gods in Eastern legends? It's no longer within the realm of magic, is it?"

Li Wei said, "I never said I only know magic. To me, all kinds of powers are basically the same, only their outward manifestations are different. As long as I want to use them, I can use them."

...

Laura nodded. Li Wei's words made her realize that Li Wei was more complex and powerful than she had imagined, which aroused her curiosity and made her want to learn more about Li Wei.

"May I watch from the sidelines?"

"Of course you can. After all, this batch of pills was made specifically for you. The pills are at their most potent when they are first made. You can just swallow them and they will completely eliminate the hidden dangers in your body."

"Thank you."

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

"Because right now, I can't do anything else besides say thank you. If I can't even say thank you, then I'm not worthy of taking your pills."

Laura also had her own pride. She couldn't accept receiving charity from others. This thank you made her realize that she had received help from Li Wei, a favor that she would eventually find a way to repay, rather than simply accepting Li Wei's charity.

Levi, who could read minds and see into Laura's heart, could understand the girl's thoughts. After all, debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, and she was using this method to remind herself that her dignity did not allow her to unilaterally accept charity.

Li Wei said, "Since you want to thank me, you can't refuse when I ask for your help in the future. Of course, I won't make things difficult for you."

Laura laughed, "Even if it's a difficult problem, it doesn't matter. I have a certain amount of confidence in my abilities." (This last sentence is a sarcastic, unrelated comment.)

Chapter 1. The Completion of the Elixir

The two did not linger outside; after obtaining the medicinal herbs, they returned directly to the hotel.

Li Wei completed the renovation of his hotel room in a very short time, and at the same time retrieved an alchemy furnace from the floating island.

Mysterious runes were scattered throughout the room, making it seem like she had entered another world. Laura swallowed hard.

She only saw Li Wei make a strange hand seal with his right hand, and then in an instant, the entire room changed completely.

Laura's gaze fell on the alchemy furnace located in the center of the room. The furnace was smaller than she had imagined, less than a person's height. Its shape was simple and beautiful, and it appeared to be made of bronze. Its surface was so smooth that it could reflect a person's image.

Li Wei said, "Laura, step back a little. I need a few minutes."

"Is a few minutes enough?"

"Of course, I am not an ordinary alchemist. What other alchemists need several days to refine, I can do in a very short time. That is the difference between them and me."

Laura didn't say anything more and obediently retreated to the back, stopping only when she was close to the wall.

Li Wei retrieved the medicinal herbs from his sea of ​​consciousness. All the herbs floated in mid-air, slowly circling above the alchemy furnace.

The lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, and some medicinal herbs entered the furnace. Li Wei formed a hand seal, and a transparent entity that appeared out of thin air entered the furnace at the same time.

Within seconds, a strange fragrance began to spread, filling the entire room with an irresistible aroma. Laura felt invigorated just from smelling it, an effect even more dramatic than military-grade stimulants. This made her realize just how special the pills being refined inside the furnace truly were.

Li Wei calmly controlled the alchemy furnace, occasionally adding new medicinal herbs. As the refining process progressed, the fragrance in the room also changed. The originally strong scent gradually became faint and eventually became almost imperceptible.

"The fragrance is gone? What happened?" Laura was very curious about the world of supernatural powers, and this change made her ask aloud. But she regretted it as soon as she spoke, because her actions were now disturbing Levi.

Li Wei smiled and said, "This is because the medicinal properties are gradually condensing. Before, Laura, you could smell the fragrance because the pills in the furnace were still in a liquid state, which caused gas to escape and the aroma to spill out. But now the pills in the furnace have taken shape, and all the medicinal essence is firmly locked inside the pills, so naturally there will be no aroma spilling out. The previous fragrance was the only drawback of the rapid pill refining method; it was easy to waste medicinal power at the beginning. But from now on, the subsequent steps will not waste medicinal power."

Laura barely understood what Levi meant. Although she didn't know much about supernatural powers, Levi's explanation was quite detailed and intuitive. So, even though she didn't know much about the Eastern power system, she managed to understand about 70% of it.

Laura didn't know much about the Eastern system of supernatural powers, and her limited understanding was superficial. However, she did know one thing: alchemy was a very difficult task, much like how Western alchemists created the Philosopher's Stone. It required a lot of time and preparation, and the success rate was not very high.

However, the techniques Li Wei is currently displaying are truly astonishing. It seems that alchemy, which is extremely difficult for others, is child's play for him.

Laura became even more curious about Levi. She was very curious about who Levi was and how such a powerful person could enter the academy and become an ordinary student.

“It’s done.” Li Wei wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

"It's finished?! That's so fast!" Laura looked at the clock on the wall. From the beginning until now, Li Wei had completed the refining of the pill in less than a minute. Although she didn't understand supernatural powers, considering the average time that alchemists in myths and legends spent refining pills, Li Wei's performance was already monstrous.

The lid of the alchemy furnace opened, and a small, golden pill emerged, landing lightly in Li Wei's palm.

Laura approached and looked at the small golden bead in Li Wei's hand, saying, "It feels like a small ball made of gold. The medicinal herbs are all different colors, so why is the pill made from them golden?"

Li Wei said, "Because my magic power is normally golden, any pills I refine will most likely turn golden, regardless of the raw materials. Swallow this pill, and the problems in your body will be resolved, including any hidden injuries from previous training and battles."

Without hesitation, Laura took the pill from Li Wei's hand and immediately put it into her mouth.

With the pill on her tongue, Laura could feel it instantly turn into a liquid. However, the liquid did not go down her throat but instead began to seep into her body from the tip of her tongue. She could feel a strange energy constantly cleansing her body, and her bodily functions, which had begun to decline, were gradually returning to their peak state.

Laura possesses strength far exceeding that of her peers, but this strength was obtained by overdrawing her potential. The brutal training has damaged her very foundation. The researchers at the institute have tried everything they can, but they still cannot prolong her life. The researchers assert that she can only live to be thirty years old at most. If she does live past thirty, every extra day is pure profit.

Laura could feel her body weakening. She had long passed her peak and only had about 10% of her peak strength left. Moreover, her condition would continue to decline, which was irreversible. After all, the modification surgery had caused her enormous damage, and a short lifespan was a common defect of all deeply modified androids.

"I can feel my life force surging, and my body is gradually being repaired! Incredible!" Laura exclaimed in shock as she felt the changes within her body.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Congratulations, Laura. From now on, you will have a normal human body. Now you are capable of embracing the future."

Laura's eyes welled up with tears, and she said excitedly, "Thank you."

Chapter 1. Celebrating the New Life

A surge of overwhelming emotion welled up within Laura. In truth, she had always been terrified. Even before she regained her sense of emotion, she could feel fear, the terror of death chasing after her. Even though she had previously been nothing more than an emotionless war machine, she was still afraid of her own death.

When a person dies, nothing remains. No matter what thoughts they had or what achievements they made while alive, whether they were hated or loved, once they die, they are nothing more than a handful of dust.

Because of the remodeling surgery, Laura can only live to be thirty years old. Every day after thirty is a gift from heaven, and she feels powerless about her future.

No one likes death, and she was no exception. But death is inescapable, and with only a normal lifespan, she had no choice when facing it.

But things are different now. The pill that she thought would only solve her hormonal imbalance has also failed to resolve her hidden injuries and other problems, making her unable to control her excitement.

With a thousand words on her lips, only "thank you" remained. Laura was not a person of many words, so this thank you had great significance for her, because Levi had given her life. In that instant, she felt the weight of her own life, and the gray world instantly turned colorful. She finally had enough time to complete the life goals she had not yet had time to set.

Laura didn't have any life goals before. She was able to set some very small goals for herself that didn't take much time, because her time was limited and not enough to support her in achieving overly long-term goals.

Now, however, she no longer has such concerns. She can confidently do what she wants to do, become the person she wants to be, and become better and more outstanding.

But then she thought of the army, and her heart sank. Laura knew that as long as she remained under the army's influence, she could never have true freedom. She wasn't an ordinary German girl, but a war machine artificially created by a research institution to meet the military's needs. Her life belonged to the country and the army; if she pursued freedom, it would mean betraying the army and her homeland.

The Black Rabbit Forces that Germany needed were war machines that were absolutely obedient to orders, had no personal will, and would only carry out tasks that prioritized national interests. War machines do not need personal feelings.

This means that when she returns to her home country, everything she has now will be taken away.

Laura looked at Levi. Although placing her hopes on someone else was a very passive thing to do, she had no other choice at the moment. The only thing she could do was to believe in Levi and believe that he could bring a brand new future to the Black Rabbit Force.

Li Wei saw through Laura's concerns using his mind-reading ability and said, "Your problem has been solved. Next, we need to solve the problems of the other members of the Black Rabbit Squad. I will be going to Europe in a few days. When I do, I will bring all the members of the Black Rabbit Squad to the academy. As their captain, it will be up to you to see how they adapt to life in a peaceful environment."

Laura took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement. Li Wei's words were like a shot of adrenaline for her; the gloom and hesitation in her heart melted away instantly, like rootless snow under the scorching sun.

In Laura's eyes, Levi was as dazzling as the sun, but this dazzling light would not burn her eyes; it would only bring her boundless warmth. What girl could resist such a sun?

Laura didn't realize that she was part of Levi's plan from beginning to end. Levi did have a sunny side; his warmth towards his family and partner was reassuring. But Levi also had an extremely dark side; to achieve his goals, he could use any despicable and sordid means without any guilt.

When Li Weidan loses all sense of decency, he becomes even more despicable than Muzan Kibutsuji and Dio Brando; there's no despicable thing he wouldn't do. In a sense, Li Weidan is a chaotic person; he can be gentle and kind, or he can be cold and cruel. He's like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, black and white intertwined, both a saint and a demon king.

Li Wei knew his strategy for winning over Laura was nearing its end. Laura's favor towards him was already at its peak. Even if he couldn't rescue the Black Rabbit Squad, Laura wouldn't hold a grudge against him. But since he had promised Laura, he naturally had to do it. Besides, every single one of the Black Rabbit Squad's "Valkyries" was a stunningly beautiful young woman, and he wouldn't refuse a damsel in distress rescue.

Li Wei said, "Laura, you've fully recovered now, which is something to celebrate. So, how about we go to a hot spring inn to celebrate?"

Laura pulled out a tourist map from the cabinet next to her and said, "In Tokyo, there's only one place called 'Oedo Onsen.' Shall we go there?"

Li Wei said, "Those crowded places don't give you the feeling of a hot spring trip. Anyway, we won't be back to school until tomorrow afternoon, so we have plenty of time. We can go to a more authentic place."

Laura thought for a moment. Levi had the means to teleport quickly to various places, so there was no need to waste time on the road. Even if they used the IS armor to travel at high speed, they couldn't keep up with the teleportation speed. She and Levi could stay at the hot spring hotel until tomorrow, and then teleport directly back to the station and take the sea rail train back to the academy.

Laura said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. This is definitely something to celebrate."

The two had already explored most of Chonghua Street. This area is mainly known for its scenery and food, but it doesn't offer much in terms of accommodation – a trade-off, I suppose. For a truly enjoyable stay, one would have to go to a traditional Japanese hot spring inn. However, in Tokyo, there are only a handful of high-end hot spring inns, and because of their scarcity, they're always packed. Li Wei dislikes this crowded atmosphere; a nice hot spring doesn't feel like a public bathhouse.
