Xiao Yi shook his head at Tang Yang, then said to Li Wei, "Li Wei, I know you are very strong, and it's probably because of you that we ended up in this terrifying world."
"But have you ever thought about the meaning behind the academy's arrangement for us to form teams freely? It's to let us know the power of teamwork. In the cycle of reincarnation, one person's strength is ultimately limited. No one is omnipotent. Only by making up for each other's shortcomings can we gain more benefits."
"Now, I might as well say it directly: you are very strong, but you are not omnipotent. You may be outstanding now, but with the power of the team, you will be surpassed by others sooner or later, and you will always encounter problems that you cannot solve."
"Or perhaps you feel you've made good progress so far, but you probably haven't discovered the hidden quest yet?"
"While we are not as strong as you, we have received a hidden mission of a decent level, probably at least A-rank. After all, we will be facing a ghoul of at least S-rank, or even SS or SSS-rank. The reward for completing the mission will be quite good."
"So, how about it? Do you want to join us?"
Xiao Yi analyzed it in a very serious manner.
He thought Li Wei was a lunatic, but not stupid; he was just brainless. Otherwise, given his reckless personality, he would have been unable to survive in the real world long ago.
after all……
If someone with that kind of personality didn't have any intelligence, they would have been beaten to death countless times and their body would have been sunk in Tokyo Bay for many years, okay?
Where would they have the chance to act arrogantly here?
Come on, I believe I haven't misjudged you, and don't let me down. I know you're a smart person, aren't you?
Xiao Yi thought to himself, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. This was a conclusion drawn from his reasoning talent, and it was extremely accurate.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yi waited, waiting for Li Wei to give the answer he was looking forward to.
"With this guy, the Night King's mission completion rate will be much higher. If I'm not mistaken, in the end, we'll most likely have to fight the Night King!"
They are unlikely to be the main force in the battle, but they will likely be asked to provide support to the investigators. How could such a powerful ghoul be so easily defeated?
At least, Xiao Yi knew that relying solely on their strength would be very, very difficult...
P.S.: Why have I received so few recommendation votes lately...? So sad and disappointed.
Chapter Twenty-Five: This beast doesn't even spare cats and dogs!
Seeing that Li Wei was about to speak, a glint flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.
In his view, Li Wei, being a smart man, must have thought through the pros and cons and was willing to join the group.
In this way, Xiao Yi's plan became even more certain.
Everyone has weaknesses, right?
Even someone as powerful as Li Wei, despite his seemingly eccentric demeanor, will eventually have to set aside his temper and compromise or, rather, submit when it comes to more practical matters of interest.
"Although I know you are very smart, there is a saying that goes, 'Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.'"
Xiao Yi sneered inwardly. With Li Wei joining the group, he was confident that he could use Li Wei to gain even greater benefits. As for Li Wei, he could just give him some sweet treats in ordinary times. If it mattered in a critical moment, he could be used as cannon fodder.
No matter how valuable a chess piece is, it is still just a chess piece.
"Welcome..."
Just as Xiao Yigang reached out his hand to Li Wei, Li Wei shouted loudly, "Miss Dongxiang, another dozen coffees, please!"
"..."
"Are you looking down on me?" Xiao Yi could no longer maintain his composure and asked with a sudden change in expression.
"Huh?" Li Wei asked, somewhat surprised and uncertain, "Are you talking to me?"
"So you came here to find me."
Tang Yang retorted angrily, "Are we talking to you or to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Wei continued to ignore him, saying, "I thought you guys were talking to thin air."
"Ha ha……"
Xiao Yi was taken aback, then suddenly couldn't help but laugh, "Well done, Li Wei, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're giving us a hard time first, and then you'll reap even greater benefits from the cooperation."
“You are a strong person, this is your right, you can rest assured…”
"Oh, so you guys were looking for me. A girl who was throwing herself at me suddenly disappeared. Even though I had a bunch of little animals to vent my frustrations on last night, I'm still really upset."
Small animals? Does that mean you're abusing cats and dogs? You're really crazy, you don't even spare kittens and puppies.
Then Xiao Yi was taken aback.
Could it be that Li Wei can't see the timing and still wants to wait for a higher price, playing hard to get? Doesn't he know that playing this trick now won't bring him any more benefit?
"It seems I overestimated him."
Xiao Yi couldn't help but think, but at least the politeness that Li Wei was showing now was a good sign, a friendly sign, which proved that they were very likely to cooperate in the future.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi wanted to say a few polite words as well, but to his surprise, Li Wei continued without hesitation:
So, I'm sorry—
"Please get out of here right now, okay?"
"It's so noisy! Do you think you're cosplaying as flies?!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, go back to kindergarten and play in the mud. What are you kids doing here?"
Li Wei waved his hand impatiently.
"You!" Xiao Yi finally exploded, his face darker than ever before. "Do you really think you're invincible all by yourself?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you what the mission we've been given."
"I suppose you should understand that a mission that can be associated with ghouls of rank S or higher is bound to have a high level of rank and a substantial amount of profit behind it."
Xiao Yi then sneered, "But even if you regret it now and come begging to us, it's no use."
"Don't think that the world can't function without you. Let me tell you, even without you, we can still deal with this ghoul."
"Damn it!" Li Wei was also furious. He punched Xiao Yi with his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, making Xiao Yi's nose bleed profusely.
"You guys are just being shameless. I told you to get lost but you wouldn't. Besides, I didn't give you a friendly look either, but you still acted like nothing was wrong and tried to talk to me. If it were me, I would have beaten you up already. Hmph, you're obviously scheming bitches."
"And who are you? How dare you talk bad about me while I was asleep and unaware of my presence? Do you think I'm doing you a disservice by not being dead? Don't you know how rude it is to start by talking about being dead or not? Who talks like that?!"
As he spoke, he punched Tang Yang again.
"To be honest, I could kill you weaklings with just a flick of my finger. Get lost."
Xiao Yi covered his noticeably flattened nose, his eyes flickering, and said fiercely to Li Wei, "Fine, I hope you won't regret what you've done today!"
Can you kill them with a flick of your finger?
You think you know the Six Meridian Divine Sword?
Hmph, so what if you can only hold your own against Jason, an S-class ghoul? If the Night King hadn't appeared and killed Jason, you might have been dead long ago.
Being pragmatic is always the key to survival. How laughable is your arrogance! Do you really think that force can solve all problems?
Once I defeat the Night King, gain a large number of points, and return to the Cycle World, I will show you that this world is bigger than you can imagine.
"An ant that sits in a well and looks at the sky!"
Xiao Yi sneered inwardly, while simultaneously filled with boundless hatred for Li Wei.
According to the information Xiao Yi and his companions obtained, Jason died at the hands of the Night King. Xiao Yi and his companions naturally assumed that Li Wei was saved by the Night King.
This is understandable. Being able to contend with S-class ghouls in a modified world is already quite amazing. Even in the regular Tokyo Ghoul, a newcomer achieving this level would shock the entire world of reincarnation.
Therefore, no one can imagine that a newcomer who has just entered the reincarnation world could kill an S-class ghoul in such a terrifying world!
That's practically a joke.
Hello, I killed Jason.
Hahaha.
So cold.
That's basically the feeling.
"Xiao Yi, are we just going to let him go like this?" Luo Chen's face was equally gloomy, and his tone was filled with barely concealed anger.
“I have unlocked my genetic potential. Even if my strength is not as good as his, it won’t be much worse.”
Xiao Yi understood what Luo Chen meant: even if they wanted to take revenge on Li Wei, they had the capability.
Xiao Yi shook his head, his expression chilling. "Revenge? Just beat him up like that?"
"Speaking of which, it seems like Li Wei has more to do with us than just this one thing, doesn't he?"
Tang Yang thought for a moment, clenched his fist, and said, "How could that be? Damn it, that lunatic!"
Thinking back to how he had been constantly humiliated by Li Wei since he was born into this world of reincarnation, Tang Yang felt angry.
"Furthermore, I can tell you very clearly that, based on my analysis of my talents, Li Wei is the culprit who brought us to this modified world!"
"If it weren't for him, we would never have come to such a terrifying world, and Brother Luo wouldn't have died."
Xiao Yi said resentfully, "Brother Luo, the reason he came here is because his actual lifespan is less than ten years. He simply cannot pay the twenty-year lifespan penalty for death."
"Damn bastard, damn Li Wei!" Tang Yang, who also knew this, also erupted, while Luo Chen, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but clenched his teeth tightly, and blood spilled from his lips.
They didn't even consider that they were the ones who initially wanted to use Li Wei, the most "useless" newcomer, to lower the difficulty. Shouldn't we say they brought this upon themselves?
"So how could I just let him go so easily? At first, I planned to use him first and then use him as cannon fodder, but now..."
Xiao Yi grinned maliciously, "He likes to hang out at the antique coffee shop now, doesn't he? I'll let him stay there. That's the ghouls' stronghold..."
Luo Chen immediately realized: "You mean, you want the CCG to believe that Li Wei is connected to ghouls, and if possible, even have the CCG kill him?"
Xiao Yi nodded, "That's right. Even if we fail, it's okay. We can spend the next few days getting to know other people, and we'll complete this side quest. We can then get a quinque from the CCG as a reward."
“The CCG will definitely hunt down the Night King eventually. When that happens, with the quinque made from that kagune, what’s wrong with us accidentally killing a potential accomplice?” Xiao Yi sneered.
"At worst, we'll be dismissed from our positions as investigators. By then, we'll have already reaped most of the benefits we could, and we can just go back to the Samsara Academy."
Tang Yang nodded in agreement after hearing Xiao Yi's words.
Li Wei, your death is not far off.
I'm really looking forward to seeing that wronged and resentful look in your eyes.
P.S.: No wonder so many authors are asking for recommendations! Turns out, the difference between shouting and not shouting is huge! I've decided too, I'll even sell my body for recommendations! Looking for a girl to sponsor me QAQ
PS2: Lately I've been really thinking about starting a book where Li Wei's child is summoned to another world... Just thinking about it makes me feel so horrified (^o^)/~
Chapter Twenty-Six: Those Years, the God-Level Square Dancing I Learned from Middle-Aged Women
The three of them soon left the antiques, but they didn't go far. In fact, given their mission, they couldn't simply stop coming into contact with the antiques altogether.
Because of Li Wei, they stayed near the antiques and tried their best to flirt with any customers who came out.
It must be said that although the three of them had a conflict with Li Wei, their verbal skills were still quite good. At least they could successfully hook up with almost everyone and get a lot of information out of them.
Although it's mostly nonsense.
But what does it matter? The CCG only asked them to make contact as much as possible.
As for Li Wei, he remained listless even after the three left.
Damn it, if someone were heartbroken, it would be abnormal not to drown their sorrows in alcohol for thirty-three days, right?
Well, as for why we're drinking coffee instead of alcohol right now?
Li Weicai wouldn't care about these details!
"That's the atmosphere, that's the sophistication!"
"What?! You don't understand what I mean?"
"If your IQ isn't 250, then shut up!"
"What? You're only 250? Since you're self-aware enough to know you're stupid, then shut your mouth!"
This is what happened to someone who used to dislike Li Wei's arrogance; he was so badly criticized by Li Wei that he almost had to go straight back to Europe.
Since a verbal contest wouldn't work, that goofball went straight for a full-blown brawl with Li Wei. The result was predictably tragic: the once-powerful school bully was beaten into a pulp by Li Wei.
Experience tells us that it is better to offend a gentleman than a petty person, and better to offend a petty person than a sick person—especially a mentally ill person.
And there is——
Europeans shouldn't show off in front of Africans, or they'll be beaten to death.
