The two had originally planned a private banquet to welcome Li Wei, but plans have changed, so they can only try to salvage the situation as much as possible.
Levi, who could read minds and see the thoughts of the two, smiled knowingly. Compared to Charlotte's parents, the Alcatel couple were like heaven and earth. They were two people who hadn't done anything bad. However, the reason they could maintain a decent life without doing anything evil was because they both had considerable talent and experience in investing. With stocks and real estate, they were able to maintain their current situation and continue to accumulate wealth. Although they couldn't control a country in secret like the Denoa family, they were free and easy, without so many messy troubles.
In contrast, Cecilia did not inherit her parents' talent in investment. In order to ensure that Cecilia could protect the family's wealth, the two decided to make Cecilia a modern "Valkyrie". As long as the "Valkyrie" has enough strength, she can protect the family's wealth by force.
Inside the study, both of them sat down. Li Wei glanced at the various books on the bookshelf out of the corner of his eye, his thirst for knowledge stirring. He never refused any interesting book.
The observant Alcatraz noticed that Levi's gaze lingered on the bookshelves, and they thought to themselves, "This handsome young man is indeed different from the others."
Chapter 1. When a person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Li Wei was clear-headed about his own affairs. The couple in front of him were his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and by reading their thoughts, he could tell that they were also kind to him. Although the origin of this kindness was somewhat complicated, kindness was kindness. Dealing with the couple in front of him was much simpler than dealing with Charlotte's father.
Although Li Wei disliked social etiquette, he was not ignorant of it. After sitting down, he had already figured out what he should do.
Li Wei took out a beautifully packaged gift box from his sea of consciousness.
The skill he displayed surprised the Olcates. Humanity is gradually conquering space technology, and the most advanced space storage technology is being used in IS armor. Even the powerful and wealthy like them have their own independent storage equipment. However, the use of such storage equipment would cause obvious space interference waves, which are visible to the naked eye. But Li Wei did not cause such interference waves, which means that the space storage technology Li Wei used is different from the mainstream space technology that humanity currently has.
Li Wei held the gift box up to the Alcatel couple and said, "I apologize for this visit, but it is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Like the Great Ying Empire and the Chong Kingdom, it is also a society that values personal relationships and has the tradition of not hitting a smiling face.
Li Wei said, "I know that with your status and position, you have no shortage of wealth or power. So such treasures are meaningless to you. Therefore, I have prepared some things that can prolong life. I hope you will like them."
Upon hearing Levi's words, the Alcatraz exchanged a glance.
Veronica said curiously, "Indeed, we have everything we need now, we just want to live longer and be healthier. Could you tell us more about it? I'm very curious."
Duo felt helpless. His wife was a very talented person, but because he had protected her too much, she was somewhat naive in terms of interpersonal relationships and often said embarrassing things, leaving him to clean up her messes.
Despite Duo's wry smile, Li Wei didn't feel offended. On the contrary, it was quite rare to see such a loving couple among wealthy and powerful people.
Li Wei smiled and said, "Of course. The things inside aren't technological creations in the traditional sense; they're more like mythical artifacts, possessing magical powers that current science can't explain. They slow down aging, extend lifespan, and prevent the brain from irreversibly dulling due to excessive lifespan. This gift can do just that. This artifact can grant Uncle and Aunt the physique of living over seven hundred years, like elves, and it can also enhance their reproductive abilities, allowing them to have children again and enabling the Alcatel family to flourish. However, Uncle and Aunt's offspring will not inherit this physique; I must clarify this beforehand."
Once the complex outer mechanism of the gift box is disassembled, what is revealed inside are two bottles of golden medicine emitting a strange fragrance. The medicine shines through the bottles with a warm and dazzling golden light.
Bathed in this light, the two noticed subtle changes in their bodies. It was a strange life energy. Although they were both already in their twenties and looked young, they were well aware that their bodies were declining. It was a slow and irreversible process. Everyone dies eventually, and no one can escape the clutches of death.
The world is unfair, yet fair. It's unfair because people can't choose their birth, nor can they determine their talents; some are born bright, others dull—these are things beyond their control. But the world is very fair in one aspect: whether wise or foolish, rich or poor, high-ranking emperors and officials or ordinary citizens, no one can escape the clutches of death.
Everyone is equal before death. Money can at most delay death to a certain extent, but with current human technology, it is impossible to completely escape the pursuit of death.
Even though the technology in this world has surpassed that of the real world by hundreds of years in some aspects, the limits of the human body itself are there and cannot be broken.
While physical aging can be addressed by replacing organs and limbs, the irreversible deterioration of the brain is an unsolvable problem. The brain's memory capacity is limited to a few years. Even if the physical issues are resolved, the surviving individual will become increasingly dulled with irreversible brain deterioration, eventually becoming a vegetative state. The body may be alive, but the brain has lost all activity, unable to respond to external stimuli. The soul is trapped within the brain, suffering eternal imprisonment—a punishment more terrifying than death.
Humans in this world have reached a limit in their technological capabilities, far from achieving the state of being as fragile as flesh and blood and as eternally mechanical as machines.
Therefore, for a very long time, humans in this world will still have to face the problem of lifespan limits.
Li Wei said, "I know what I'm saying is absurd and unconventional according to normal people's values. Uncle, Aunt, you can have this medicine tested. Taking only a small sample for testing won't affect the overall effect. You can decide whether to drink the medicine after you see the test results."
Duo said, "I don't doubt the potion's power, but I don't understand why you would be willing to give us something so valuable. If this precious potion were released outside, it could trigger a world war. The powerful and wealthy are capable of anything to survive."
Dona was already considering his and his wife's way out. After all, their lifespans, which far exceeded that of ordinary people, were too eye-catching. If they didn't leave at the right time, they would easily be suspected.
In order to protect himself and his wife, he would have to find a way to use force to protect himself and his family. After all, people are treacherous, and some things must be planned for in advance.
Li Wei said, "Uncle, Aunt, please allow me to call you Father-in-law and Mother-in-law now. You can take some time to learn about the culture of Chong Kingdom. There is an old saying in Chong Kingdom: 'When a person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.' You are Cecilia's parents, so you are naturally my half-parents as well. To me, you are already my family. Is it strange to share good things with family?"
He nodded and said, "That's not strange at all. When I get something good, I instinctively want to share it with my family."
Li Wei said, "That's right, and in some ways I'm similar to God. God could create the world in seven days, and I can do the same. The fact that I've given you much longer lifespans than ordinary people, instead of directly transforming you into angels or something similar, is already a consideration of your capacity to accept it. Too long a lifespan would cause you to lose your human characteristics, so a lifespan of up to a thousand years is about right. Living too long, you'll likely commit suicide because you can't bear the prolonged time."
Chapter 1. Igniting Public Opinion
Li Wei tapped lightly on the desk, and the wooden desk, like a tree bud, sprouted numerous branches. In just a few seconds, it had transformed into a beautifully shaped object, a work of art that combined life and art. Several birds flew in from the window and perched on the low tree that the desk had become.
Li Wei said, "The reason I'm giving these to you is because I'm taking Cecilia away from this world, so this is my way of making it up to you."
He nodded more, understanding what Li Wei meant. When Li Wei talked about the potion before, he said that in addition to making people live longer, the potion could also enhance an individual's reproductive ability, meaning that it would allow them to have more children and let the Orcart family continue to grow.
Li Wei will take their daughter away from them, but will also give them more children. This is compensation, a manifestation of fairness. As for the extra-long lifespan, that is a precious gift.
The Alcatraz understood Levi's meaning. Since the conversation had been open and there were no grudges between them, the guests and hosts naturally enjoyed themselves. Levi couldn't resist their hospitality and stayed at the manor for several days, enjoying the carefully prepared dinner. He didn't leave the manor until the next day, when they insisted on staying.
Cecilia's situation has been resolved. Her parents support her in pursuing her own happiness, and they are also happy for their daughter after learning what benefits she will receive.
As parents, aside from a few scoundrels, most parents hope their children can have a good life, and they are no exception.
After saying goodbye to Cecilia's parents, Levi went to Germany, but this time he would not easily show his face.
As Li Wei's covert operations began to take effect, various chaotic situations arose within Germany. Information about the Black Rabbit unit was leaked by Li Wei, who disguised it as an internal official error.
After the turn of the millennium, Germany became the stronghold of European liberals and self-righteous zealots. These "activists" did nothing but think about how to create a big news story. When the lurking Levy released the news, these activists, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed in instantly, and with a "the more the merrier" mentality, they directly escalated the entire situation.
Within a short period of time, the German government was in a completely disadvantageous position in terms of public opinion. The Black Rabbit Unit incident had crossed the line for normal people, and this outrageous act that crossed the line gave the "white left" sanctimonious people room to maneuver. This time, with the help of Li Wei behind the scenes, these "white left" sanctimonious people finally stood on the side of justice and had a suitable reason to condemn the German government.
The Black Rabbit Force is extremely heinous. First of all, the illegal artificial humans themselves have crossed the bottom line of human rights. Not to mention that they are born without parents, their purpose is to be biological weapons. They have no past and no future, which is very tragic and a trampling on the most basic human rights.
Secondly, there are the inhumane modification surgeries. A large number of individuals die on the operating table, and less than 4% of the total number survive the rejection reaction caused by the modification surgery. This is also a trampling on human rights.
Then came the process of eliminating these individuals' emotions and placing them under brutal training, which resulted in the deaths of a large number of individuals. After these two rounds of selection—the modification surgery and the training—the number of individuals who ultimately survived was less than three-thousandths of the initial total number of individuals.
It can be said that each of these three items, taken individually, would have drawn condemnation from Germany. However, when combined, they directly led to the German authorities being criticized as Nazis of the new era. Everyone could stand on moral high ground and spit on the German authorities. Even within Germany, a large number of ordinary people could not stand by and watch this situation unfold, and they stood in opposition to the official stance.
The EU has never been a unified entity. During World War II, Germany attempted to reshape the European order, but the Third Reich failed. However, after the EU was established, Germany used economic and political means to deeply exploit its surrounding European countries, making itself wealthy and powerful. Even if other European countries realized Germany's true intentions, they were unable to resist.
But now, because of the Black Rabbit Unit incident, Germany has become the target of everyone's anger, successfully pushing itself into the eye of the storm. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; European nations are seeking revenge for their grudges and settling scores—it's quite a scene.
Meanwhile, the United States, which had once coveted the artificial human technology of the Third Reich, also intervened and began to condemn Germany's actions on the international stage. Other countries, driven by their own interests, joined in the condemnation like jackals.
On the third day after the incident began, the Kingdom of Falasi joined forces with other European countries to establish an investigation team and begin investigating the matter legitimately. Their first priority was to find the members of the Black Rabbit Squad. Once they found the members of the Black Rabbit Squad and conducted physical examinations, the truth of the matter would come out.
At that moment, Li Wei, who had been hiding behind the scenes, made his move. After the investigation team arrived, Li Wei used his methods to take away all the members of the Black Rabbit Squad, leaving the investigation team empty-handed.
Now, Germany is in an even more difficult position. The Black Rabbit Unit itself couldn't withstand investigation, and the complete disappearance of all its members further suggests that they have something to hide and are preparing to oppose the investigation team.
The mass disappearance of the Black Rabbit Unit members directly ignited public opinion. As a result, official forces from various countries, together with civilian organizations, launched a verbal attack on Germany. Some cooperation that was quite important to Germany was suspended, and Germany suffered heavy losses.
In reality, various organizations are also eyeing Germany's android technology. While outwardly condemning it from a moral high ground, what they truly desire is the technology Germany possesses. After all, the Black Rabbit unit has proven itself over the years, boasting world-class capabilities in both armor and pilots. Even America wouldn't dare claim to surpass Germany in armor research and pilot training.
The current situation is somewhat similar to that when the Third Reich collapsed, except that this time the number of jackals and vultures is far greater than it was decades ago.
It was only because Chongguo had mastered the Hundred Armor Crystal technology that they remained remarkably calm about this matter. Although they were also making a show of support, it was all bark and no bite. While others couldn't see clearly, Li Wei knew that the bigwigs in the country were just watching the show. They had no interest in Germany's artificial human technology at all, since the Hundred Armor Crystal was far more appealing.
Chapter 4. The End
Li Wei hid the girls from the Black Rabbit Squad in a safe place. Because he had arranged for his puppet clones to do preparatory work in Europe, safe houses were not lacking there. He hid the girls in a small village in Denmark. Thanks to the power of magic, the villagers were not curious about the extra girls.
Amidst the ongoing chaos in the outside world, Li Wei, just as he had previously tricked Laura, pretended to use alchemy to repair the missing hormone glands in the girls, allowing them to rediscover their own emotions.
Then, Li Wei became stuck with this girl, making it extremely inconvenient for him to do anything. It was only because he had mastered the magic of puppet clones that he was able to do anything at all.
These girls, modeled after Laura, mostly bear some resemblance to her in appearance, but differ in details, as well as in figure and color. Unlike the slender Laura, some of these "Laura sisters" have quite good figures, with their development surpassing that of ordinary high school students, and they look quite mature.
However, these "Lavla sisters" have just recovered their emotions, and coupled with their previous experiences, they are severely insecure. So, during this period, they have been following Levi around all the time, except when they are sleeping.
Li Wei knew that this was a psychological trauma affecting them, so he was not impatient. Instead, he used magic to assist psychology and gradually repaired their emotional wounds.
Although this treatment, infused with supernatural power, was highly effective, it would still take at least three or four days to heal their psychological trauma. Li Wei calculated that there was still plenty of time; even if they completed the treatment and stayed in Europe for another two or three days, they could still return to the academy before the school festival began.
He promised Laura that he would let her sisters enjoy the school festival, and he kept his word.
Just as Li Wei and the beautiful girls continued their intimate life, the storm outside intensified. The intervention of various forces made it impossible for Germany to keep its secrets. Everyone was keeping a close eye on Germany, and now Germany was in a very bad situation. In order to protect itself, it had begun to gradually back down.
We have no choice but to back down. The term "big rogue" isn't just for show. Even if one of them is playing dirty, with the other four so serious, in this situation where powerful nations surround us, if we really fight to the end, we'll be badly hurt, if not killed.
Most of the older generation of German politicians have retired, and those in power now are weak politicians and their cronies. These people have no backbone and are best at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. In the current situation where everyone is pushing them down and they are surrounded by great powers, they do not have the courage to compete with the big shots. They raised the white flag in just a few days.
Then, just as all the forces were preparing to reap the spoils of war, Li Wei, who was hiding behind the scenes, made his move again. This time, he directly disposed of those key technical personnel, along with various key materials, which were also destroyed.
The various jackals, who were eagerly anticipating their feast, finally had it served, only to find that the delicious food had vanished when they lifted the lid. No one could tolerate such a thing, and so the storm that had just subsided instantly reignited.
This time, the German government is in deep trouble; even if it's not excrement, it's still excrement.
The various factions failed to obtain what they wanted, and while they weren't exactly furious, they couldn't easily accept the outcome. So they began to divide up the other advanced technologies held by Germany, which severely damaged Germany. The country had finally climbed to its current level through the EU, only to be instantly brought back to square one, even more miserable than when it was defeated in the war.
As for the German military personnel and politicians, with the exception of a few lucky ones, most of them were unable to escape their punishment.
The Black Rabbit Unit incident has come to an end. Germany has paid a heavy price for its actions. Originally a top-ten regional power in the world, it has been reduced to the same level as a third-world country. Various technologies, equipment, and valuable researchers have been legitimately seized by various forces. Various transnational business cooperation has also been suspended because of this incident. With everyone kicking it while it's down, Germany's national strength has regressed by more than ten years.
All of this happened in less than a week. Li Wei's puppet avatar only acted three times, but those three actions were enough to bring a regional power to the brink of collapse. This feeling of being a schemer hidden behind the scenes was quite enjoyable. If it weren't for his sister Laura holding him back, Li Wei would have personally intervened. But the outcome was good enough.
After resolving the matter, Li Wei led the girls back to Japan. Using the identity cards prepared in advance by the academy's chairman, he brought the girls back to the academy.
Because they had been informed in advance by the chairman of the board, these girls had their food and lodging arranged by someone after entering the academy, and were also taught how to survive in an environment outside the military camp. The distorted education they received only taught them how to kill enemies on the battlefield and how to carry out various covert missions, but no one taught them how to live an ordinary life in a relatively peaceful environment.
These girls are all severely PTSD sufferers. Their long combat experiences and lack of common sense make them all potential dangers if they were in the outside world. That's why the academy assigns dedicated life counselors to manage them. Only after they adapt to the outside environment will they no longer be subject to the life counselors' management.
When Li Wei returned to his dormitory, he was greeted by Charlotte's enthusiastic hug.
"Li Wei! You really did it!" Charlotte clung to Li Wei like a koala, her hands gripping him tightly.
Seeing Charlotte's excited expression, Levi placed his hands under her thighs to prevent her arms from getting tired.
Li Wei said, "I'm a person who always keeps my word. Since I've promised you something, no matter what unexpected situation arises, I will fulfill my promise to you."
Charlotte kissed Levi deeply on the cheek and said excitedly, "Thank you! I've already heard from Father that you resurrected my mother. I want to thank you, and I'll do anything you want to me!"
Li Wei picked up Charlotte and placed her on the desk, a smug smile on his face, and said, "You said it yourself."
Charlotte's pretty face flushed with a shy blush.
