I rely on unlimited life extension

The woman looked up and casually asked, "Has the young man found a place to stay yet?"

Cheng Yi shook her head again, saying nonchalantly, "I'm not planning on looking anymore. I'll just find an abandoned building or a deserted place and sleep in the car. By the way, sister, do you know where there are any abandoned buildings around here?"

The woman frowned and thought for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look, "Why do you want to go to an unfinished building? There's no one there, it's gloomy and unlucky."

Cheng Yi snorted, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and said, "What I want is to be undisturbed. Before, I was afraid of ghosts, but ghosts never hurt me. I wasn't afraid of people, but people have hurt me time and time again. Now, I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm afraid of people."

The woman was stunned by these words, her eyes filled with shock and emotion. After a long while, as if she had made up her mind, she drank the coconut juice in her hand in one gulp and said with some regret, "If only I had heard what you said five years ago, little brother."

Cheng Yi smiled slightly, but her smile revealed a hint of vicissitude, and said, "Sister, five years ago, I couldn't have said those words either!"

The woman was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize what she had done, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Yes, I was overthinking it."

Just then, a crisp and melodious cell phone ringtone suddenly rang out, like a sharp blade, instantly shattering the slightly heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

The woman paused slightly, then stopped what she was doing and took out her phone from her pocket.

When she saw the name on the caller ID, a flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes. She glanced around, hesitated a bit, and then pressed the answer button, saying into the phone, "Blueberry and I are eating out. Humph, you're you, and I'm me. Didn't we already agree? Stop talking nonsense. Just say what you have to say. Come on, I've had enough of what you have to say. Okay, I understand. You can leave it here; I'll look at it when I have time."

After ending the call, the woman slowly lowered her head, gently patted her daughter's head sitting next to her, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, and said softly, "Little brother, thank you for the barbecue. We enjoyed the meal very much. But we have to go now."

Oh, by the way, if you're looking for unfinished buildings, I can tell you, after the second phase of the Huanglong project in the north of the city, it's all unfinished buildings. You can go take a look.

Upon hearing this, Cheng immediately stood up, smiled, and said sincerely, "Sister, it's fate that we can sit down and have dinner together, no need to be so polite. I hope you and the baby are doing well. Goodbye, baby!"

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, waved her chubby, cute little hand at Cheng Yi, and said in a childish voice, "Goodbye, Uncle."

Watching the woman and little girl's figures gradually disappear into the distance, Cheng Yi slowly withdrew his gaze, thinking to himself, "Goodness, this time I'm really incredibly lucky! I never expected to run into the lover and daughter of the person who was killed by Master Fan and made a scapegoat."

I remember that man had crucial evidence against Master Fan and his criminal syndicate.

He frowned slightly and shook his head. "Forget about that for now. The most important thing is to find the money. If we can't find it today, we'll have to try our luck at the Housing and Construction Bureau again to see if we can find Master Fan."

As night fell, Cheng Yi fell into a deep sleep in the car. When he woke up, he felt pretty good; after all, with both the front and rear seats folded down, the interior space was much larger than he had imagined.

The morning sun shone on the earth. After finishing breakfast, Cheng Yi drove towards the north of the city.

Along the way, he asked several locals for directions, and after some twists and turns, he finally found the construction site of the second phase of Huanglong.

The scene before him surprised him; it was indeed an unfinished building complex, with only a lonely concrete frame standing there, looking particularly desolate in the morning light.

Compared to the issues involving Master Fan, these buildings seem to lack a certain complexity and don't quite resemble the same type of "unfinished buildings."

However, not wanting to miss any clues, Cheng Yi decided to conduct a thorough search. He searched every nook and cranny meticulously, but several hours passed without any results.

Cheng Yi arrived at the Huanglong Phase III construction site without stopping, which was also a site of unfinished buildings.

At a glance, seventy or eighty buildings stood haphazardly, their sheer scale causing Cheng Yi to gasp in astonishment, thinking to himself, "Just how much money have these corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen embezzled? It's simply unimaginable!"

His eyes were filled with shock and anger as he looked at the unfinished buildings, as if he were witnessing the blood and sweat of countless people being mercilessly devoured.

On this vast construction site, Cheng Yi discovered that the unfinished buildings here were in a very different state compared to the second phase.

The construction here is much more advanced; many buildings are nearing completion, with only the final finishing touches remaining.

The exterior walls are mostly tiled, and the window frames are basically installed. From a distance, they look like rows of new buildings that are about to be handed over for use.

But for some unknown reason, they came to an abrupt end, becoming unfinished projects, which is both regrettable and infuriating.

As Cheng Yi examined the buildings, he pondered the matter. Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Could the 300 million yuan in cash be hidden inside these buildings?" Once this idea popped into his head, it burned like wildfire in his mind.

Just then, he suddenly remembered a crucial detail: Master Fan had arrived at the unfinished building on his little electric scooter and had even used mugwort to repel mosquitoes.

This clue gave Cheng Yi a jolt of energy, and he immediately lowered his head to carefully examine the ground.

Time passed second by second, but his eyes never left the ground, not missing any trace that might be a tire track.

After a long search, he finally found the familiar electric scooter tracks between several buildings; the faint marks were like a ray of dawn in the darkness.

Cheng Yi suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing. He quickly looked around, selected a building, and then ran towards it.

He ran quickly, sniffing around like a hunting dog, not missing a single trace of the scent of mugwort in the air. His heart pounded with each step, every stride filled with anticipation.

Finally, his hard work paid off. When he rushed into a building and reached the fourth floor, a faint scent of mugwort wafted into his nose.

Cheng Yi felt a surge of excitement rush to his head. Without the slightest hesitation, he continued running upwards following the scent, as if the three hundred million in cash was beckoning to him from not far ahead.

In a secluded space on the eighth floor, Cheng Yi's eyes were instantly drawn to the red bills scattered all over the floor.

What a breathtaking scene that was!

At a glance, most of the cash was still unopened, neatly stacked there, and carefully wrapped in plastic, obviously to prevent moisture and moisture and to preserve it carefully.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Cheng Yi's mind: "You have discovered 300 million in cash. Do you wish to transfer it to your film and television world account?"

Cheng Yi was taken aback at first, then her face lit up with surprise, her eyes sparkling with disbelief. She thought to herself, "Huh??? Can it be done like this? System, I really underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to have such a cute function."

Without hesitation, he silently chanted in his mind: "Recharge, recharge all of it for me."

Soon, all the red bills on the ground disappeared.

The system message reads: "Recharge complete. Your Movie World account has 300 million remaining. Note that Movie World accounts are not interchangeable with real-world accounts."

Cheng Yi was initially delighted, but upon hearing the second half of the sentence, her smile instantly froze on her face. Filled with doubt, she asked, "Huh? Wait a minute, System, what does this mean? It's not universal? In other words, I can't use these 300 million in the real world, right?"

The system's cold notification sounded again: "The film and television world account can only be used within the film and television world. No matter which film and television world you enter, you can use it without worrying about currency exchange issues."

Cheng Yi sighed helplessly, feeling somewhat disappointed, but quickly consoled himself: "Oh well, at least in the movie world, I'm a rich man now."

With this large sum of money, I can indulge in romance and extravagance in the world of movies and TV shows. However, I wonder if there will be a significant psychological letdown when I return to reality.

However, with this system, as long as I don't die, one day I will definitely possess my own wealth in the real world.

After leaving the unfinished building, Cheng Yi felt her legs were floating, as if she were walking on clouds with every step. When she was panting, she had difficulty breathing and wanted to shout, but she was afraid of disturbing others.

Three hundred million!

Now, they're all mine!

Most importantly, nobody knows.

Cheng Yi drove the car slowly down the street, eventually stopping in front of an inconspicuous little department store.

He got out of the car, his steps slightly heavy, and stepped into the store with a hint of unease.

The store's freezer was filled with all kinds of popsicles. His eyes swept over the price tags one by one, and finally landed on a popsicle priced at 15 yuan.

That was the most expensive popsicle in the store, with exquisite packaging and a bunch of English letters he didn't recognize printed on it.

He reached out and picked up the popsicle as if he were holding an incredibly precious treasure that made him a little nervous.

Cheng Yi walked towards the cashier with his popsicle, feeling the air around him grow heavy as he went.

His hands trembled slightly as he pulled his phone from his pocket. Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind: "Punisher, you have a movie world account. Do you wish to use it?"

Cheng Yi silently recited in his mind: "System, select yes."

Immediately afterwards, a brand new QR code appeared on the phone screen, and the flashing pattern seemed to have a strange magic in his eyes.

Cheng Yi held his phone and stretched it toward the QR code scanner, his heart suddenly racing, as if he were embarking on a thrilling gamble.

He had already prepared an excuse in his mind: "If the scan fails, I'll say that there might be something wrong with my phone, and I'll pay with cash."

However, a crisp "beep" sound broke his tense thoughts; the scan was successful!

Cheng Yi's face instantly turned bright red, as if he had drunk strong liquor and the alcohol was spreading rapidly through his body, rushing straight to his head.

His heart was pounding, as if it would leap out of his throat. He took a deep breath, turned stiffly, and prepared to leave.

I had just taken a step when I heard the cashier call out behind me, "Hey, you forgot your popsicle."

Cheng Yi abruptly pulled back the step he had just taken. He forced an awkward smile and turned around to pick up the popsicle that he had forgotten on the counter because of his nervousness.

He gripped the popsicle tightly, as if afraid it would suddenly disappear, and then quickly walked out of the store.

Cheng Yi walked to the car, opened the door somewhat mechanically, and sat in the driver's seat.

His breathing did not slow down; instead, it became more rapid, and his chest heaved violently.

He held an ice pop in his hand, which swayed slightly as he trembled.

He tried to tear open the popsicle wrapper, but whether it was due to nervousness or sweaty hands, he tried several times, but the wrapper didn't budge.

Just then, a complex emotion surged up from the bottom of his heart like a turbulent tide.

It was an emotion intertwined with excitement and sorrow, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupting.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Cheng Yi could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

This was the second time he had cried since he obtained the Punisher System.

If his first cry was driven by surprise and hope, this time, he was overwhelmed by the sudden windfall of a huge fortune—a full three hundred million dollars.

This 300 million was like an unimaginable mountain of gold to him, causing his once calm heart to be thrown into turmoil.

Once Cheng Yi calmed down, he realized that the popsicle in his hand had melted almost halfway due to being held for so long and the temperature inside the car.

He looked at the half-melted popsicle, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, and then casually tossed the popsicle, which he hadn't even opened, into a roadside trash can.

He started the car, his eyes rekindling with a renewed desire for a new life, and he shouted in his heart: "Drive, let's go, let's spend some money!"

A taxi came to a smooth stop in front of a grand hotel decorated like a palace.

The hotel doors gleamed with a dazzling light. A well-trained doorman approached, a friendly smile on his face, and asked in a warm tone, "Sir, are you waiting for someone?"

Cheng Yi took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calm and even: "I'm not waiting for anyone, I'm here to spend money."

The doorman was clearly taken aback for a moment, his gaze quickly sweeping over Cheng Yi and then glancing at the ordinary-looking taxi next to him. However, he quickly regained his professional demeanor: "Sir, please come in. I'll help you park the car, and I'll bring you the keys once it's parked."

Cheng Yi secretly praised, "Hey, this service is really good."
