“I’ve only been here twice,” Eriri said.
Eriri herself is not good at sports, and swimming is one of the few sports she is good at, so she knows more about swimming than the average person.
"The women's swimwear is on the second floor, Li Wei, let's go up first." Eriri, holding Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand with one hand and Kato Megumi's hand with the other, went up to the second floor with the help of a female sales assistant. A sign next to the stairs that read "Men Not Allowed" made Li Wei stop in his tracks.
"As expected, the developments in anime are unreliable," Li Wei sighed.
He used to watch harem anime, and there was a classic scene where a group of girls would choose swimsuits in a swimsuit shop before going to the beach, and then have the male protagonist give his opinion.
What Li Wei wanted to complain about was that even though this was already an anime world, it still did this kind of thing just like the real world, which was really disappointing.
However, there are certain differences between anime and reality. For Li Wei, who lives in this world, as an observer, this world, although it is slightly different from the real world in terms of historical development, is not much different from the real world. There are no supernatural powers or black technologies. There are only ordinary people struggling to make a living and the rich and powerful indulging in debauchery.
The world is just like the real world; there's not much difference.
However, Li Wei still wanted to enjoy the treatment of a male protagonist in a harem anime, and it was a real shame that he couldn't even appraise the girls' swimsuits in the swimsuit shop.
Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others were upstairs choosing swimsuits, while Li Wei also picked out two pairs of swim trunks on the first floor. The men's swimsuits were basically the same, except for the color and pattern of the swim trunks. The materials were all similar, unlike the women's swimsuits, which had been explored in many creative ways by the designers.
In about half an hour, Li Wei had already drawn a new illustration in his mind, and the fourth volume of the novel was almost finished. Only then did the three girls carry the bag of swimsuits downstairs.
Li Wei took out his bank card and said to the female sales assistant who was following them, "Please settle the bill."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The female sales assistant smiled, took the bank card, walked to the counter, and began swiping the card.
Shortly after, Li Wei received a text message from the bank informing him that the three of them had spent a total of 160,000 yen on swimsuits, which wasn't expensive. At least considering the cost of living in Japan, this price was quite reasonable.
Li Wei originally planned to take the three girls to Ginza to buy swimsuits. He estimated that the trip would cost at least 600,000 yen, but it turned out to be only a small amount.
"So cheap," Li Wei said softly.
“Of course, this store has always been great value for money, and the swimsuits here are very trendy and popular with young people,” Eriri said with a smile.
“I saw that they also sell sunscreen here, so I might as well buy sunscreen as well. What do you guys think?” Li Wei said, pointing to the counter next to him.
"You don't need to buy sunscreen, I have some left, just use mine," Eriri said.
Li Wei nodded. Since Eriri had said so, he would listen to her. After leaving the swimsuit shop, Li Wei hailed a taxi and helped the girls get home. Although Japan's trams were very convenient, the evening rush hour had already begun, and taking the trams at this time would be very crowded.
Taxis in Japan are expensive, but that only applies to ordinary people. For Li Wei, it's nothing. For the safety of the girls, spending this little bit of money is worthwhile.
Chapter 57. Going to the Beach
The next day, Li Wei talked to Aki Tomoya and found that Aki Tomoya was still sulking. It seemed that the argument with Eriri had affected Aki Tomoya more than he had expected.
Li Wei didn't say much, offering a few words of comfort before asking Aki Tomoya again if he wanted to go to the beach with them. Aki Tomoya declined, citing the need to create art. Li Wei didn't press the matter further; he knew Aki Tomoya's actions would only worsen his relationship with Eriri.
Li Wei, a spectator who loved a good show, thought such things were no big deal and let them go.
After school, everyone in the game development club, except for Aki Tomoya, had already gathered at the school gate.
Seeing the three girls already carrying backpacks, Li Wei quickened his pace. He had brought his laptop; the hotel had internet access, so whether he was working or playing games, it wouldn't be affected. Therefore, besides a change of clothes, he also brought his laptop.
Li Wei looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was also carrying a laptop bag, and said, "Senior, you brought your tools of the trade too."
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled gently: "As a light novelist, it would be quite derelict of your duty not to bring even your tools for eating. And Li Wei-kun, aren't you the same? Even Eriri brought her sketching tools and camera."
Li Wei looked at Kato Megumi and said, "Megumi, what did you bring? Besides a change of clothes?"
Kato Megumi took off her backpack, unzipped it, and took out several light novels.
Kato Megumi said softly, "I only brought a few light novels with me. These were all recommended to me by Li Weijun. They are very interesting, and I feel like I have learned a lot."
Kato Megumi put the light novel back in her backpack, and just then, a gray Mercedes-Benz van stopped in front of them on the road.
Since Li Wei was at school and it wasn't convenient for him to travel around, he entrusted all the arrangements and preparations to the "Everything-Do-It-All" company. This company would take on any job as long as it was paid and legal, and they were quite discreet. It was precisely because of the company's reputation that Li Wei once again entrusted them to handle the hotel reservation.
It must be said that in any era, as long as you have enough money, you can save your own time and use other people's time to achieve your own goals.
The group boarded the car and embarked on their journey, chatting and laughing all the way. Because the front seats of the van were soundproofed, the driver in front could not hear the people in the back unless the small windows were opened. So the group chatted the whole way, and Li Wei never saw them fall silent.
Li Wei put his backpack aside, leaned back in his chair, lowered the chair, and closed his eyes to rest in an almost reclining position.
........................
"Li Wei, wake up, we've arrived." Kato Megumi gently tugged at Li Wei's sleeve.
Li Wei opened his eyes. He hadn't slept soundly and had had a rather interesting dream. Although he was a little disappointed to be woken up, he only paused for a moment when he looked at Kato Megumi before smiling.
"I didn't expect to fall asleep. I was just planning to close my eyes and rest for a bit." Li Wei adjusted the seat back to normal, and the others were also packing their bags, preparing to get off the bus.
The car stopped in front of the hotel. A hotel waiter came over and asked the driver if he needed parking. Li Wei opened the car door and got out with several girls.
After exchanging a few words with the driver, Li Wei drove away, while Li Wei led the others into the hotel.
Moriya Beach is one of Japan's top beaches, and the surrounding tourist facilities are quite well-developed, including various entertainment facilities and two five-star hotels.
There are quite a few hotels here, as well as all sorts of guesthouses. However, Li Wei doesn't trust guesthouses much, so he directly asked Yorozuya to book a five-star hotel and requested two top-floor suites.
Li Wei originally wanted to book four rooms, one for each person. However, this plan was immediately rejected by the other three, and even Eriri felt that such behavior was too extravagant, so she directly rejected his idea.
However, the top-of-the-line ocean-view suite is very large, a duplex suite with a total area of over 300 square meters, more than enough for the three girls to rest, while Li Wei has the suite all to himself.
After putting down their luggage, the group gathered in Li Wei's suite.
Several people sat down at the round table on the balcony, where snacks and drinks had already been prepared.
Eriri unceremoniously popped a cookie into her mouth and said, "What are everyone's plans for next? Are we going to see the sea, or to the temple fair area after the beach? The shrines in this temple fair area are quite famous."
Li Wei said, "It's almost seven o'clock now, should we take care of dinner first?"
"What should we have for dinner?" Kato Megumi asked.
"The hotel's seafood buffet is unlimited, with no time limit, as long as we don't waste any," Li Wei said.
Li Wei isn't a fan of raw food; he can't stomach sashimi or sea urchin rice. However, the seafood feast at the hotel is a Western-style buffet, complete with a barbecue grill so guests can grill their own food. That's why Li Wei decided to have seafood for dinner.
As guests who had booked top-tier suites, Li Wei and his companions didn't need to pay extra for most of their hotel expenses. The two suites Li Wei had booked cost 600,000 yen per night, totaling 3.6 million yen for a weekend – equivalent to a typical office worker's annual income in Tokyo. Because of this, guests booking these top-tier suites could enjoy various preferential services offered by the hotel during their stay.
"Unlimited time? Unlimited quantity?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up.
Li Wei nodded and said, "This hotel doesn't skimp on food. Although it's a buffet, the ingredients and dishes are top-notch, no worse than a traditional restaurant, and it's all-you-can-eat."
In Li Wei's view, places like ryotei are mainly for entertaining distinguished guests; if you really want to enjoy yourself, a hotel like this is much more comfortable.
Chapter 58. Big Eyes, Small Stomach
Li Wei had traveled to Sanya with his family before, but he always ended up being a third wheel for his parents, which proves the saying that parents are true love, while children are an accident.
Back then, Li Wei's parents were showing off their love hand-in-hand in front of him, while he followed behind, collecting seashells and casually glancing at girls. However, in the real world, there's no such thing as a scenic beach. After all, it's a beach in China, not in Europe or America. The image of a tanned, healthy-skinned woman with a beautiful figure is best left as a dream.
He did see some foreigners on the beach, but that "Grandma with a Cloth Bag" was comparable to the swimsuit version of Granny Chiyo voted by players in the Naruto mobile game. Just imagine how cringeworthy that scene would be.
Finding beauty on a real-world beach is no easy task, and Li Wei certainly didn't have high hopes for it. If you don't have high hopes, you won't be disappointed.
However, one good thing is that domestic five-star hotels are very generous in terms of service and supplies. As long as you have money, you can enjoy treatment that you can't usually enjoy. Five-star hotels are professional at doing this.
In Japan, the service is impeccable, but the food offerings are rather stingy. For example, unlimited seafood buffets, which are common in top hotels in China, are not so common in Japan.
So, the reason why Li Wei chose to stay at the two five-star hotels near Moriya Beach is quite simple: this hotel is more generous in terms of supplies, not only in terms of food, but also in terms of various beach equipment and entertainment activities. Guests staying in the top suites can enjoy the hotel's personalized butler service.
The other hotel, while having a better environment, failed to satisfy Li Wei in terms of supplies and service.
Li Wei looked at the girls in front of him, each with a different expression but all smiling, and said, "Seafood won't make you gain weight, but it's best to avoid beer, or you'll end up with a gout attack."
Seafood and beer are a high-uric acid combination. Even a short period of time can cause problems, let alone a long period of time. Li Wei, who has some knowledge of medical matters, reminded the others of this.
Eriri nodded and said, "I know that. It's not just beer; it's best to avoid any alcoholic beverages."
"Then let's go!" Kasumigaoka Utaha was in high spirits and pulled Eriri's hand, heading towards the door.
“Do you know where the buffet is? Just walk out like this,” Li Wei said, and he and Kato Megumi followed the two people in front of them.
The group chatted and laughed all the way to the open-air restaurant.
Li Wei looked at the large open-air restaurant, built with white bricks and stones, with gray marble floors, exuding an ancient Greek style, and nodded in satisfaction. Above the open-air restaurant was a foldable glass dome, which, with the help of mechanical pulleys, could cover the entire restaurant, so that neither scorching sun nor heavy rain could affect the diners' interest.
The group found a spot near the beach and sat down. From there, they could see everything on the beach very clearly. There were still many people playing on the beach, but because of the time, many people were packing up their parasols and deck chairs. Surfers and swimmers had also come ashore. In the distance, the lights of the temple fair street gradually lit up.
Li Wei sat in his seat, looking at the scenery, while the three girls went to get food. There are relatively few buffet restaurants in Japan; most restaurants sell set meals and set menus. So, Japanese people feel a little excited when faced with a buffet.
Before long, Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others returned with all sorts of food. Most of the food they brought was desserts and various exquisite seafood dishes, but in order to cater to Li Wei's appetite, the three of them also brought a lot of cooked food.
All sorts of food were laid out on the table, which was crammed full. Apart from the pots and small barbecue grill on the table, there was no room for anything else.
"The food here is really good, and I ended up taking a bit too much without realizing it. But I'm confident I can manage," Kasumigaoka Utaha said somewhat embarrassedly.
She's stayed in five-star hotels before, but this is the first time she's experienced staying in a top-tier suite and enjoying the best service offered by the hotel.
Driven by her inner curiosity, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally revealed the liveliness that comes with her age.
"As long as the leftovers aren't raw food, I can help you finish them. If all else fails, I can just boil them in a pot," Li Wei said.
Although the sashimi is sliced so thinly for eating raw, Li Wei doesn't care about that. He would never put uncooked seafood into his mouth.
"Isn't it such a waste of ingredients to cook raw fish?" Eriri said from the side.
“But it would be a waste to leave it there uneaten. Of course, if you can finish all the food you take, then I won’t need to come here,” Li Wei said.
Often, girls have eyes bigger than their stomachs. When eating at a buffet, they take a lot of food, but most of it ends up in the stomachs of their husbands or boyfriends, while they themselves are mostly just enjoying the view.
Li Wei wasn't afraid of such a situation. He had already become a Qi cultivator beyond ordinary people. Even though he hadn't actively cultivated these past few days, he was constantly growing stronger, and his physique was becoming increasingly robust. This physique allowed him to eat several times more food than an ordinary person and quickly and thoroughly digest it, turning it into nutrients for his body. In simpler terms, he ate a lot and excreted a lot; his body's energy utilization efficiency was far higher than that of ordinary people.
Kato Megumi sat next to Li Wei. Because their table was right next to the outermost railing, all four of them could easily enjoy the sea view.
"This is the first time I've ever enjoyed a sea view in a place like this. It's so good to be rich," Kato Megumi said with a soft smile.
Eriri put a piece of sashimi dipped in wasabi and sauce into her mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it. She said, "As for Megumi, as long as she can become a light novelist, becoming rich is only a matter of time. At that time, you will also be able to live such a life. But to be honest, even I can't afford the cost of such a top-tier suite. Li Weijun's wealth is much more impressive than I imagined."
