A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

“I have now mastered power beyond that of ordinary people, but it is still far from enough. In most slice-of-life anime without supernatural powers, this level of ability is enough to control the whole situation, but my ambition is not limited to slice-of-life anime. There are many things I want to do as well…” Li Wei sat down on the sofa.

Having the ability to travel between worlds, he felt it would be a waste not to do something. After all, he had witnessed too many tragedies while watching anime, and if he could, he wouldn't want to see those tragedies happen.

In the past, he could only watch such things happen, but now he has the ability to participate in them, and he feels that he has the future in his grasp.

Chapter 65. Okay, let's watch a horror movie.

Everyone's pursuits are different. Some people pursue wealth, some pursue power, and some simply enjoy fame. But Li Wei is very clear that as long as he can master extraordinary power, wealth and power are just byproducts.

Li Wei restored the room to its original state. He had checked both suites beforehand and found no hidden cameras. It was precisely because of this that he dared to test his supernatural abilities in such a place.

This ability far exceeded Li Wei's imagination. Although he was just a novice Qi cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, he had already mastered divine methods that were unimaginable to ordinary people.

If Li Wei were placed in those martial arts novels, he would be a terrestrial immortal who has surpassed the limits of humanity, leaving behind his own legend wherever he goes.

"But this level of power is not enough. If I rashly enter some anime worlds with high-end combat power, I would just be cannon fodder." Li Wei was not blinded by the sudden power he had gained.

Leaving aside dangerous worlds like Dragon Ball and Doraemon, even in anime worlds a few levels below, Li Wei couldn't guarantee he'd escape unscathed after participating in the story. So, before he had enough power, he wouldn't impulsively run into those extremely dangerous worlds.

Admittedly, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward. However, if you can develop steadily, there's no need to rush. Running fast is useless; only by running steadily and far can you have the last laugh.

Just as Li Wei turned on his computer, ready to play some games, he heard the sound of a door opening. There were two suites; Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others had a spare key to this suite, but Li Wei didn't have a spare key to the suite next door.

The three girls came into the living room and saw Li Wei sitting in front of the computer.

"Did we disturb your work?" Kato Megumi asked softly.

"No, I finished the illustrations in one night, and I don't have any work to do right now," Li Wei said.

Li Wei isn't the kind of corporate slave who enjoys being squeezed by deadlines, so he prefers to finish his work ahead of schedule.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Wei is an individual, after all, being an illustrator is a fairly free profession.

In a company, most office workers complete their tasks at the last minute because if they do things too quickly, their superiors will think that they have enough untapped potential and then assign them a bunch of messy work.

That's why every experienced office worker is a master of slacking off while on paid leave.

“Staying up late is bad for your health. Even I’ve started to change my sleep schedule,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

"Huh? Senior, you, a night owl, have actually changed your ways? That's unbelievable!" Eriri exclaimed in surprise.

"I'm just going back to my normal sleep schedule, what's the big deal?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gave her a "you're making a fuss over nothing" look. However, the night owl's decisive adjustment of her biological clock was not without purpose.

While staying up all night playing games with Li Wei was fun, it was incredibly damaging to her skin. And since women want to look their best for their loved ones, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't want to appear tired and disheveled in front of Li Wei. She wanted to radiate beauty in his presence, and changing her sleep schedule was just the first step. Furthermore, she had been intensively studying makeup and fashion these past few days, all in order to better present her charm to Li Wei.

In fact, Li Wei had also noticed the subtle changes in Kasumigaoka Utaha, but he saw through it but didn't say anything. After all, the reason why Kasumigaoka Utaha had such a little scheme was also related to him, and he was happy to see Kasumigaoka Utaha change.

Eriri leaned closer to Li Wei's computer, looking curious.

Li Wei's computer desktop was very clean. Aside from his commonly used drawing and word processing software, there were various folders. Too many icons would make the desktop look cluttered, so Li Wei created folders and categorized shortcuts for various software programs into their respective folders to avoid a messy desktop. It was impossible for Eriri to deduce his usage habits from his computer desktop.

"It's this late, how about we watch a horror movie?" Eriri asked excitedly.

Upon hearing Eriri's words, both Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha trembled slightly, but both were adept at disguising their true feelings and did not show any fear.

However, Li Wei's senses covered the entire room, and he could not miss the subtle movements of Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha, nor could he sense their fear.

His powerful perception ability not only greatly enhances Li Wei's five senses, but also allows him to perceive the emotional changes of others to a certain extent.

For example, Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha are currently feeling slightly fearful, while Eriri is feeling happy, although Li Wei doesn't know what's so enjoyable about watching horror movies.

"Eri, aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?" Kasumigaoka Utaha appeared calm on the surface, but her words were somewhat hurried.

"What's there to be afraid of? We're sleeping together anyway, it's not like I'm alone," Eriri said with a smile.

Li Wei sensed a change in Eriri's emotions; she was also nervous, which meant she was afraid of horror movies, but the presence of many people lessened her fear, giving her the courage to watch one at this time.

"This..." Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know what to say, but she felt embarrassed to reveal that she was afraid of horror movies. Even Eriri wasn't afraid, so if she showed fear, wouldn't it make her seem even less capable than Eriri?

"Senior, don't push yourself too hard," Kato Megumi whispered from the side.

"Okay! Let's watch a horror movie then!" Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice unconsciously rose as well.

Kato Megumi wore a helpless expression; she hadn't expected her reminder to have the opposite effect.

Chapter 66. Come on, let's hurt each other!

Despite her calm demeanor, Kato Megumi is actually quite scared. In fact, girls who aren't afraid of horror movies are extremely rare.

Kato Megumi could tell that both Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were actually afraid of horror movies, but they were both stubborn and wouldn't admit it even if they were scared.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have such courage, Senpai. Don't be so scared that you can't sleep tonight." Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, trying to see the details of fear in the other's subtle expression, but Kasumigaoka Utaha remained calm and was not seen through by her.

Li Wei, who is able to sense emotional fluctuations, also noticed that Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha were planning to sabotage each other, but as a person who enjoys having fun, he didn't intend to stop the two of them.

On the contrary, Li Wei has a pretty good horror movie on his side, and he's going to give the three girls a good beating. Although Kato Megumi is somewhat innocent, watching horror movies together is the most fun part when everyone gets involved.

Originally, Li Wei didn't really like watching horror movies, but after mastering supernatural powers, even if the monsters in horror movies really existed, they would just be targets to be beaten in front of him. Apart from a few monsters with bugs, most of the monsters in horror movies are now easy for him to deal with.

That's why Li Wei no longer refuses to watch horror movies; the horror level of horror movies has dropped dramatically, and to him, they're just alternative documentaries.

Li Wei opened his movie library and found the movie he had chosen, "Lights Out," in the horror category.

The overall plot of *Lights Out* isn't particularly groundbreaking, and it's not one of those works that are truly terrifying upon closer inspection. However, it has a premise that's very popular with horror fans. In this story, everything is normal when the lights are on, but once the lights are off, terrifying spirits lurking within the house can be seen.

Previously, the short video of "Lights Out" went viral online for a while. The movie is not particularly well-known in China, but it is a big name in the United States. This low-budget film, which cost only $490 million to produce, has earned nearly $1.5 million at the box office, a profit of nearly 30 times, which has also brought fame and fortune to the Chinese-American director who made the film.

This world doesn't have that Chinese-American director who can be called a horror genius, so there wouldn't be a movie like "Lights Out." Levi's choice of this movie, which doesn't exist in this world, also has its own purpose.

Most women aren't fans of horror movies, so Li Wei figured the three girls wouldn't realize immediately that the film wasn't from this world. By the time they did find out, one of Li Wei's goals would have been achieved.

Li Wei placed his laptop on the coffee table, connected the data cable to the projector and audio equipment in the suite, turned on a movie, and then turned off all the lights in the suite to ensure that the projector could project the image onto the screen as clearly as possible.

Regular hotel rooms naturally don't have these amenities, but top-tier suites are fully equipped with most of the facilities intended for relaxation. After all, some guests have rather unusual hobbies, like watching movies in their suites, which is why hotels equip their top-tier suites with a variety of luxurious amenities.

"It feels like a private cinema. I didn't know there was such a thing in the suite," Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also started to get nervous. She originally thought she would only be watching on a laptop, but she didn't expect that there would be a home theater system in the hotel suite.

This movie-going experience is great, but it's a different story when it comes to watching horror movies.

Not only Kasumigaoka Utaha felt nervous, but Eriri and Kato Megumi also unconsciously huddled together on the sofa, trying to get as close to the center as possible.

Sitting in the middle, Li Wei felt a sense of pressure coming from both sides.

"The movie hasn't even started yet, isn't it a bit too early to be scared?" Li Wei said.

He watched the movie twice. The first time, he simply wanted to experience the horror. The second time, he wanted to delve deeper into the setting and find some inspiration for his novel. However, the movie's setting didn't have much depth when he looked into it; it was still the same old Western demon formula.

Having already seen it twice, and possessing extraordinary powers, he was confident that he could crush any monster from the movie in front of him within thirty seconds. Therefore, the movie no longer terrified him.

"Don't talk, let's watch the movie," Kasumigaoka Utaha said briefly, but the strength with which she gripped Li Wei's arm betrayed her inner fear.

Li Wei promptly shut his mouth. As the movie started, the three girls shrank back in fear, grabbing onto anything they could reach.

Anyway, Li Wei's hands were scratched by Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, leaving quite a few nail marks. An ordinary person would probably have cried out in pain by now, but Li Wei's physical defense is strong enough that although the marks look deep, they don't actually hurt at all.

With nothing to hold onto, Kato Megumi clung tightly to Kasumigaoka Utaha, clutching a large body pillow in her hand, and occasionally closing her eyes to avoid the frightening images.

The suite's air conditioning was set at a low 25 degrees Celsius, a perfect temperature for a horror movie. At least, the three girls next to Li Wei were terrified. Kato Megumi was trying to avoid the scary scenes by closing her eyes, while Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were determined to keep each other from closing their eyes or looking away, constantly bickering and hurting each other.

The most distinctive feature of the movie "Lights Out" is its closeness to real life, while the characters' intelligence remains consistently high as they search for various ways to resolve the crisis.

This is precisely why the film possesses a sense of realism that other films lack, which makes it even more terrifying.

A terrorist incident that occurs far away is completely different from a terrorist incident that could happen to you at any time. The latter is exponentially more terrifying.

Before they knew it, the movie had ended. Li Wei looked perfectly normal, but the three girls beside him didn't look too good.

Li Wei stood up, went to the lighting control panel, and turned on all the lights in the suite. As the environment brightened, the terrifying atmosphere quickly dissipated. However, the film itself revolves around turning lights on and off, and even with the surroundings brighter, the three girls still felt unsafe.

Chapter 67. Soothing the Child

Li Wei said, "It's getting late, everyone should get some rest so we can be full of energy for tomorrow's outings."

Although there are no specific plans for tomorrow, the three girls are not like Li Wei, who has superhuman energy and can go without sleep for half a month without any problem. Getting some rest is beneficial for women.

Eriri complained, "That horror movie we just watched had weird things appearing as soon as the lights were turned off. Even hiding under the covers didn't help. That's so unfair! How am I supposed to sleep like that?!"

In most horror movies, as long as the characters hide under the covers, don't stick their heads out, keep their eyes closed, and don't make eye contact with ghosts or monsters, there won't be any problems.

But the movie she just watched was made for Americans, so it completely ignored the unspoken rules of horror films in Japan. That's why Eriri found it much scarier than other horror movies. She hadn't been this scared even when she watched "Sadako."

Li Wei walked to the refrigerator, took out a few cans of drinks, unzipped them, and placed the drinks in the hands of the three girls.

“You can’t possibly not rest at night, can you?” Li Wei said.

"It's all Li Weijun's fault! Why is there such a scary movie on your computer? It's terrifying!" Eriri pressed her drink against her face. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and her body felt sticky and uncomfortable.

"You said you wanted to watch a horror movie, and I don't have many horror movies on my computer. I just picked one randomly." Li Wei said with an innocent expression.

"Then why didn't you stop me? I regret watching this horror movie. It's not just having nightmares anymore, I can't sleep at all!" Eriri looked terrified. When she watched the movie, she was so scared that she almost screamed. She clung tightly to Li Wei's arm and tried desperately to get into his arms. Thinking about it made her feel ashamed.

Li Wei felt somewhat helpless; proud and arrogant girls are often just that hard to handle.

It's only because Eriri is so cute that if a real-life girl spoke in that tone, Li Wei wouldn't even bother to acknowledge her.

However, Li Wei also knew that Eriri was just sharp-tongued, but she was actually quite soft-hearted. Compared to those women in the real world who were so realistic that they were frightening, she was already quite good.

Eriri appears arrogant on the surface, but is actually quite delicate, unlike those self-proclaimed tsundere characters in the real world who treat men like slaves. This is why anime is more appealing to otaku than the real world; there are far fewer malicious girls in anime than in the real world.

In the real world, "bad girls" are mostly good at disguising themselves, and ordinary otaku can't see through their true colors. It is precisely because of this that two-dimensional female characters with a strong sense of feedback have such high popularity.

Eriri placed her hand on Eriri's head and said in a coaxing tone, "Sweetie, go to sleep early. You won't have nightmares because I will protect your dreams."

Eriri blushed and slapped Li Wei's hand away, her voice unconsciously rising two octaves: "I'm not a child, don't try to fool me with that childish tone!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, standing to the side, crossed her arms and said, "Oh? But from an outsider's perspective, Eriri, you're only middle school age."
