I rely on unlimited life extension

He was driving his taxi slowly down the street when, unexpectedly, a bustling street resembling an early morning market appeared before him.

On the left side of the street, many people set up stalls selling all kinds of breakfasts, and the steaming food exuded an enticing aroma; on the right side, there were stalls selling vegetables, fruits, and dried and fresh produce. The colorful vegetables and fruits were neatly arranged, and a bustling crowd moved among them, with shouts of vendors and bargaining sounds intertwined, creating a lively and vibrant scene of everyday life.

Cheng Yi found a suitable spot to park the car, got out, and headed straight for a stall selling fresh meat fritters.

At this moment, the hamburgers on the stall are being fried in hot oil, each one filled with fresh meat and scallion filling tumbling in the oil.

With a sizzling sound, a rich aroma rose with the cooking smoke, instantly filling the surrounding air and making one's mouth water.

Cheng Yi glanced at the prices and found them quite reasonable; three could be bought for 5 yuan, and seven for 10 yuan.

Without hesitation, he took out 10 yuan and bought one.

The hot hamburger he received was piping hot, and he couldn't wait to take a big bite. Instantly, the fragrant aroma of scallions and the delicious taste of meat filled his mouth, and the rich flavor even filled the gaps between his teeth.

Then, a cup of hot soy milk, the warmth and aroma of which blend perfectly with the deliciousness of the baked bun, creates an incredibly satisfying sensation that comforts him from his tongue to his heart.

After having breakfast, I chatted with two locals for a bit, then got back in the car and drove to a park near an abandoned mine.

System, I'm about to make my fourth time travel. Is anyone around?

System notification: There is no one or camera within 1000 meters of the Punisher. You can cross safely.

Cheng Yi opened the system's teleportation panel, clicked "Teleport," and... wait... two portals appeared?

System prompt: During this journey, the Punisher can consume 5 energy points to travel to either the Level 1 film world "Broken Bridge" or the Level 1 film world "Friends". Please select.

Oh my god, there's still a choice! I'll choose "Broken Bridge." After all, it's a movie by Master Fan. I remember, back then, the three hundred million yuan in cash hidden in the abandoned building area was something that made everyone incredibly envious.

The portal on the right, radiating a mysterious aura, vanished without a trace in an instant. Cheng Yi frowned slightly, a resolute glint in his eyes. He stepped on the gas, and the car shot straight into the portal on the left like an arrow.

In an instant, a blinding white light engulfed Cheng Yi and his car like a surging tide.

Immediately afterwards, a dizzying sensation, as if the whole world had turned upside down, swept over me. It felt like countless steel needles were being pierced into my head, making my head feel like it was about to burst and causing unbearable pain.

Cheng Yi clenched his teeth, his facial muscles contorted in pain, his brows furrowed into a knot, and his mouth involuntarily turned to one side, revealing his tightly clenched teeth.

I don't know how much time passed before the terrible dizziness gradually subsided.

Cheng Yi slowly opened his eyes and found himself and his car on a highway.

System notification: Punisher, you have entered the world of the movie "Broken Bridge." Until the main storyline concludes, your life time will not be consumed; you have 998 hours remaining. Your mount has been updated with a special skin for this world, consuming 1 energy point. As long as you stay away from the storyline, you will not be harmed by the dangers of this world.

System, you're so thoughtful! You actually helped me get the taxi skin automatically. It would be even better if it didn't consume any resources. Thank you so much!

After a long while, Cheng Yi drove along the winding road, and after a bumpy ride, finally arrived at a slightly old-fashioned bus station.

He slowly drove the car into the station, his eyes searching for a suitable parking space like a hawk. Before long, he found an empty space and parked the car steadily.

Then, Cheng Yi pushed open the car door and walked into the passenger station with steady steps.

The bus station was bustling with people, and the noise of voices and footsteps mingled together, like a symphony of everyday life in the city.

Cheng Yi weaved through the crowded throng, his gaze soon drawn to a newsstand.

He walked over, carefully selected several maps, paid for them, and began to add them to his system map.

A soft system notification sounded: "You have collected the detailed map of Huangque City, you have collected the map of Huangjiang Province, and you have collected the world map." Cheng Yi nodded slightly, feeling more confident.

After finishing all this, Cheng Yi turned and left the bus station. Outside the station, several women with small stalls were busy serving customers.

Cheng Yi approached one of the older women and politely inquired about the Huangque City Bridge.

The older sister responded warmly, telling him that the bridge in Huangque City had collapsed just yesterday, and that many people had died or been injured.

Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this meant the story had just begun and there was still time.

Next, Cheng Yi asked his older sister about the location of the abandoned, unfinished building in the suburbs.

The older sister frowned and thought for a moment, then said that she only knew there were unfinished buildings near her home in the western part of the city, but she didn't know much about other places.

Cheng Yi thanked the older sister and was about to leave when she suddenly said with a sigh, "These days, where isn't there an unfinished building? Where there are corrupt officials, there are unfinished buildings."

Cheng Yi was slightly taken aback, feeling that the words were quite profound. He gave his eldest sister a deep look, then turned and left.

Cheng Yi opened the car door, quickly got in, started the automatic navigation system, and locked the destination to the west of the city. With the roar of the engine, the taxi sped away like a runaway horse.

Throughout the journey, Cheng Yi kept his eyes fixed on the street scenes flashing past the window, his heart filled with anticipation for the unfinished Phoenix Community in the west of the city.

Upon arriving at Phoenix Community, Cheng Yi began his arduous journey of exploration.

He tirelessly traversed every corner of the community, repeatedly asking passing residents, leaving no stone unturned.

However, reality gave him a cold shower. Despite spending several hours and running up and down the stairs hundreds of times, searching through all the suspected unfinished buildings in the Phoenix Community, he still found nothing.

At this moment, even with a constitution of 15 points, Cheng Yi was exhausted and panting heavily, feeling as if his lungs were on fire, unable to catch his breath.

Undeterred by his lack of success, Cheng Yi frowned and stood there in deep thought for a moment before a new goal emerged in his mind—the municipal government office.

He didn't know where Mr. Fan, a senior executive at the Housing and Construction Commission, worked, but he decided to try his luck.

So, Cheng Yi took a taxi to the municipal government office again.

Unfortunately, fate seemed to be against him. He waited in a taxi by the roadside until sunset, when the magnificent sunset dyed the sky orange-red, but the gates of the municipal government office remained tightly locked.

Cheng stared intently at the doorway, not missing a single person coming in or out. However, that familiar face never appeared, and a sense of disappointment gradually spread through his heart.

Left with no other choice, Cheng Yi drove to the bustling night market.

The night market was brightly lit and bustling with people, with all sorts of noises blending together to create a unique scene of everyday life.

He stopped in front of a bustling food stall, went in, found an empty seat, ordered some barbecue, and prepared to relax his tense nerves in this lively and down-to-earth place.

As he was enjoying his delicious barbecue, a woman with a little girl walked towards him.

The woman wore a warm smile, as gentle as the spring sun. Although she wore light makeup, her eyes were incredibly alluring.

She walked to the table opposite Cheng Yi and said cheerfully, "Young man, could I share a table with you?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi looked around and saw that all the tables were indeed full. He nodded and casually peeled the last piece of meat off the skewer.

The woman and the little girl then sat down across the table.

Cheng Yi looked at the little girl and saw that she was exquisitely beautiful and very cute, and he immediately felt a fondness for her.

Without hesitation, he grabbed a handful of meat skewers from his plate, placed them in front of the little girl, and said with a gentle smile, "Here, Uncle will treat you to some meat."

Seeing this, the little girl shrank her neck slightly, looked up at Cheng Yi timidly, and then quickly lowered her head without saying a word.

Seeing this, the woman next to him quickly said apologetically, "No need, young man, thank you for your kindness."

Cheng Yi, however, didn't stand on ceremony at all. Just then, the owner brought out the freshly roasted vegetables, and Cheng Yi placed them in front of the little girl, saying warmly, "Come on, baby, eat this. It's so delicious."

As he spoke, he picked up a skewer of roasted garlic scapes and ate it with relish, finishing it off in just two bites.

As the little girl watched Cheng Yi wolf down his food, the initial unfamiliarity in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of curiosity. She blinked her big eyes and stared at Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi noticed the little girl's gaze, waved enthusiastically to the shop owner, and ordered two more bottles of coconut juice.

After the shopkeeper brought it over, he opened it neatly and gently placed it in front of the woman and the little girl, saying with a smile, "Come on, sister, don't be shy. In our village, if someone passes by your door while you're eating, you can't just let them go. No matter what the food is like, you have to let them have a meal. It's our custom, for the sake of liveliness and also for the sake of personal relationships."

At this moment, the owner came forward and asked the woman and child with a smile what they would like to eat.

Before the woman could speak, Cheng Yi waved his hand and shooed the shopkeeper away, saying as he did so, "Shopkeeper, no need, we've already ordered a whole table full, this is enough to eat, no need to add anything else."

Seeing this, the woman was still a little embarrassed and wanted to decline again.

Cheng Yi quickly said, "Sister, do you know? Huangque City is so big, there are so many people that you can't even count them all. Look at all the people coming and going on the street. It's fate that we can sit at the same table!"

Think about it, if you were sitting at another table today, and I were to tactlessly approach you and start a conversation, you would definitely think I'm a pervert, and you wouldn't be wrong to call the police and have me arrested. I would have nothing to say about it.

Since we're eating at the same table now, as a man, I hope you and the baby can give me a chance to treat you to this meal, okay?

Of course, if you think I have ill intentions, you can leave now, and I absolutely won't say a word.

Cheng Yi's sincere yet slightly forceful words left the woman momentarily at a loss, as if all her escape routes had been blocked.

The woman was quite decisive. After hearing Cheng Yi's words, she immediately picked up the coconut juice and looked at Cheng Yi sincerely, saying, "Then today, my daughter and I will take advantage of you."

After saying that, she raised her coconut juice cup and clinked it against Cheng Yi's. Then she picked up a roasted eggplant, carefully placed one on the little girl's plate, and said softly, "Blueberry, say thank you to Uncle."

The little girl stood up obediently, a pure smile on her face, her voice clear, loud, and polite: "Thank you, Uncle."

Cheng Yi looked at the cute little girl with delight, picked up her chopsticks and put some more vermicelli on her plate, while reminding her, "Be careful, it's hot."

Before long, the little girl Blueberry ate several skewers of meat and some vegetables.

Cheng Yi watched her eat with relish and thought that it was bad for a child's stomach to eat too much barbecue, so he asked the owner for another bowl of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.

The soup was served steaming hot, emitting an enticing aroma. The little girl, Blueberry, couldn't wait to pick up her spoon and gulp it down, her satisfied expression as if she had received the most precious treasure in the world.

Cheng Yi gazed quietly at the little girl, lost in memories, and murmured to himself, "Children are the most innocent beings in this world, and their thoughts are the simplest. As long as they have enough to eat and wear, they are already more than half satisfied. If they could also have a playmate, then for them, life would be perfect."

The woman had been watching Cheng Yi's expression closely. Hearing his words, she looked into his eyes and said, "Young man, you have a story to tell."

Cheng Yi continued to gaze intently at the little girl, his eyes seemingly holding a thousand unspoken words. After a while, he slowly said, "Who doesn't have a story? Isn't everyone's life a unique story?"

The woman leisurely ate another oyster, then casually asked, "Young man, are you a local?"

Cheng Yi gently shook her head and replied, "I only arrived in this city today."

Upon hearing this, the woman clearly showed surprise, her eyes widening slightly as she asked, "Today?"

Cheng Yi didn't pay attention, put a silkworm pupa in his mouth, and chewed it with relish. As he chewed, he said, "Yes, I heard that there is a landmark building in Huangque City - Huangque Bridge, so I wanted to come and see it."

The woman's eyes suddenly darkened, as if some memory had been touched, and she said in a low voice, "What's so interesting about a bridge?"

Cheng nodded and said in a calm tone, "I know there's nothing special about it, but I've always been alone, wandering the world, so it's all the same to me. I just happened to be passing through Huangque City, so I thought I'd stop by and take a look."
