"Hey girl, why are you leaving me?"
Li Wei thought with grief that it seemed as if Rize Kamishiro's reluctant and affectionate gaze that night was still vivid in his mind.
"Is this what life and death are like? Is the idea that lovers will eventually be together a lie?"
The more Li Wei thought about it, the sadder he became. Finally, he felt his head twitch.
"Could this be some kind of revelation from heaven?!"
Li Wei's eyes lit up; he had felt this way many times before.
Every time he acted upon this inspiration, he would always attract a lot of attention afterward, which Li Wei saw as admiring glances.
This time will certainly be no exception.
Thinking this, Li Wei couldn't help but stand up, put one foot on the table, and sing loudly:
"The river flows eastward, and all the couples in the world break up~ Hehe, hehe, huh? You're showing off, but after today, you'll all break up~"
Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in Li Wei's eyes, "Holy crap, there's a couple here!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei immediately lunged at the man...
A few hours later——
The antique shop was closed to visitors, with only Li Wei remaining inside.
With her short hair, Dong Xiang stared coldly at Li Wei and said indifferently, "You've been causing trouble at the shop these past few days. It's time to learn a lesson."
In Touka's eyes, Li Wei was just one of those ungrateful ghouls who would occasionally cause trouble at the store.
She had seen many people like that, and she always thought that they looked easy to bully and wouldn't behave unless they were taught a lesson.
Just as Touka was about to make a move, the store manager stepped forward and stood in front of her to stop her.
The antique shop owner, the old man Yoshimura, slowly said, "Touka, you are no match for him."
Dong Xiang was startled and turned to look at the shop manager, saying incredulously, "Him?"
You should know that in the original work, Touka is a ghoul with S-class strength. In the reincarnation world, with the support of the plot, she is not much weaker than SS-class. She herself is naturally aware of her strength. However, the manager actually said that he is not the opponent in front of him who is not serious at all and looks like a slacker.
Who is he?
For a moment, several famous ghoul names flashed through Touka's mind, but none of them matched Li Wei.
The shopkeeper bowed slightly to Li Wei and said, "Your Excellency Night King, what brings you to our humble shop?"
The old man from Fangcun bowed, which startled all the other waiters. Everyone knew how unfathomable the old man was, but how powerful must he be to be someone even the store manager had to show him respect?
"Night King, wait... could you be the one...?"
With his suit-style hair, light-colored hair, and thick nose, Koma stared wide-eyed at the somewhat chubby man and cried out in surprise. Although he claimed to be a man once known as the Demon Ape, he had to be wary of the ghoul who was currently enjoying great popularity and was known as the Emperor of the Night.
"He could be the Night King?!" Touka exclaimed in disbelief.
"The Night King?"
Li Wei was also a little confused.
In fact, the title of Night King was mostly circulated among other people because Li Wei always made his moves at night, and with his powerful skills, the title of Night King was quickly recognized by both the CCG and the ghouls.
Li Wei himself was unaware of this title.
Of course, even though Li Wei didn't know if it was referring to him, it didn't stop him from acknowledging it.
The nickname "Night King" was practically made for him.
Speaking of the Night King, isn't the name just a reference to his exceptionally powerful abilities in that area?
For example, seventy times a night, that's totally possible...
He truly deserves the title of King!
"Yes, I am the Night King. What do you want with me?"
Li Wei said with a hint of delight, "No matter what, any man would be happy to hear others praise his abilities."
Store manager: "..."
Actually, he really wanted to say, "I was the one asking you for advice, so why did it suddenly become me looking for you?"
Of course, even if he already had millions of excavators dancing and reveling in his mind, even if millions of black lines were trembling in his brain, even if...
On the surface, he remained calm and composed: "I have long admired your name and am here to pay my respects. May I ask what brings you to the antique market?"
"Oh, what's up?" Li Wei replied, a little confused. "By the way, didn't you guys need something from me?"
The entire Antiques team: "..."
The store manager was already cursing under his breath.
Damn it, the Night King, I thought you were some important figure who came here to cause trouble so that you could drive away the others and meet with us alone to discuss something important.
Who knew, it turns out I was just being delusional, you were just here to cause trouble?
Are you sick!
Even a seasoned veteran like the store manager, who had lived for decades and weathered many storms, was momentarily at a loss for words.
Are we supposed to beat Li Wei out?
Don't be ridiculous. Even someone like the store manager couldn't see through Li Wei in a short time.
If a fight really broke out, although he was confident that he could defeat Li Wei, it would expose them completely to the CCG's sight, which would be a classic case of courting death.
Basically, which famous ghoul tries to conceal their identity?
Only someone as clueless as Li Wei would be so afraid that others wouldn't know what he looks like, so he deliberately wandered around under the CCG's surveillance and even danced.
I alternate between dancing to "Standard Disco" and "Little Apple," I don't know if I learned it from some legendary MT grandma in the square, but the taunting effect when I jump is top-notch.
This directly drew a lot of hatred from the CCG.
There's a saying that true masters are often found among ordinary people, and that's quite true.
From this we can see that if you want to learn something good...
You should go square dancing more often.
Because you never know which middle-aged woman you usually hang out with might actually be a hidden master.
After all, that's how it's written in many novels...
P.S.: I noticed that there were quite a few objections and debates about the previous chapter. Well, I suggest that those who have opinions turn to Volume 2, the Academy Chapter, to see if that can dispel their prejudices.
Hmm... We haven't found the academy edition yet, so we'll have to trouble everyone to travel through the river of time a little and take a look. Remember to let the author know your feedback after you've read it! [Serious face]
PS2: Thank you to Yunju and Shuke2465827712 for the donations.
Chapter Twenty-Seven: A person's charm is so great, even when they're just showing off, they look cool.
The two remained silent for a while. Li Wei looked at the store manager with a puzzled expression and asked, "Did you keep me here simply because you admire me?"
After thinking for a long time, Li Wei could only come up with this reason.
In the real world, many fans go to great lengths to meet their idols, even if it means traveling long distances. Now that their idol is right in front of them, it's understandable that a fan couldn't contain their excitement.
Upon thinking about it, Li Wei immediately expressed his understanding.
She once stripped a vain boy naked and left him on the playground for everyone to watch, and from then on, that boy became her die-hard fan.
Don't you see that every time Li Wei appears, that guy cries and screams, chasing after him with bloodshot eyes, saying things like, "I don't want to live anymore, it's all because of you"?
At that time, Li Wei thought that the guy was so excited just by seeing him, and he was willing to die for him. If he were to come closer and feel his domineering aura, wouldn't he be so happy that he would actually die?
For the sake of his precious fans' health, Li Wei had no choice but to reluctantly hide away.
Hey, when someone is really charismatic, even beating someone up can make them an idol.
Seeing how calm the elderly shop manager was, Li Wei felt that he also needed to give back to his fans.
So, Li Wei reached out and suddenly ripped off a piece of the shop manager's clothes, startling everyone who thought he was going to attack. The old shop manager hadn't expected this move and almost got into a fighting stance.
"Since you insist on a fight..." Before he could finish speaking...
While everyone was on edge, Li Wei quickly wrote a long piece of paper and handed it to the old man, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don't get too excited, or your high blood pressure might explode."
"???"
The store manager looked completely bewildered. Wasn't he going to turn hostile and start a fight? Besides, I don't have high blood pressure.
Although he didn't understand Li Wei's actions, to be honest, he really didn't want to fight someone like Li Wei.
Thinking about it, he had no choice but to go along with Li Wei's suggestion and take his torn clothes. He was also a little curious about what Li Wei had written on it that made everyone so nervous.
So everyone in the antique shop crowded around, and there it was written: the, cool, cooler, coolest, man—in the handwriting of the cool guy liwei.
And the name above it reads: "Invincible to heaven, invincible to earth, invincible to oneself."
Below is: Viagra is the most handsome.
Everyone: "..."
Dong Xiang took a small step back, tugged at the sleeve of the slightly chubby male waiter in the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, "Is the manager getting old and not wearing glasses? Did he mistake you for someone else?"
How could someone like that be the Night King!
Not just Touka, but everyone actually thinks the same way.
Or rather, if someone as serious as Touka says this, then it goes without saying that others would too.
To be honest, the store manager was at his wit's end with Li Wei. Damn, in all his years of being a boss, he'd never seen anyone so bizarre.
Left with no other option, the store manager had to change the subject and bring up the topic of Tiger Balm.
"What are your plans next, sir?"
"Intend?"
Li Wei was taken aback; it wasn't that Li Wei was stumped by the question.
After all, there's always something to have fun about for a lunatic.
He was stunned because he had just received a notification from the system.
"Side quest unlocked. Join the ghouls?"
Although there were no further explanations, Li Wei quickly realized that this must have been triggered by one of his side quests.
Unlike Xiao Yi and the others, Li Wei has three side missions, the third of which is to make Li Wei the leader of either the regional ghouls or the investigators.
Now it's time for him to choose sides.
"Is there even a choice?"
Li Wei suddenly spoke loudly, startling everyone.
"This is such a simple multiple-choice question, there's no need to even think about it."
Li Wei complained to the system, "The investigators are a bunch of gays, I'd never go there. On the contrary, the ghouls are so much better, I definitely have to join them."
After all, there are more girls on the ghoul side...
A real man can bend over with his whole body—his waist, his legs, his head, his penis—but his sexual orientation is not.
Without hesitation, Li Wei chose to join the Ghouls.
The others looked at Li Wei with blank expressions, but they were gradually getting used to his unconventional way of thinking.
The store manager, in particular, has a very strong mental fortitude. Even if he doesn't know the specific meaning behind Li Wei's words, he can still roughly understand them.
In short, is it about adding their antiques?
However, the store manager was still a little uneasy and tentatively asked, "Are you going to join us?"
Li Wei was immediately shocked and retreated, exclaiming in astonishment, "How did you know what I was thinking? Can you read minds?!"
As he spoke, Li Wei shook his head, his eyes growing increasingly incredulous.
"You're actually a Shaolin Temple sweeper monk? I misjudged you. I originally thought that with my mental processing speed of several trillion times per second, even if someone could read minds, they wouldn't know my true thoughts."
"Hey……"
Without prior arrangement, everyone, including the store manager, sighed and rubbed their foreheads.
They've really become numb to Li Wei. Fine, just pretend he's not a normal person.
