I rely on unlimited life extension
Chapter 34 The second time traveling
Browsing through these entertainment news articles, Cheng Yi felt as if she were engulfed in flames, her heart filled with resentment that had nowhere to go.
Suddenly, a bold, almost insane idea popped into his head: Why not go and meet the young lady?
Once the idea appeared, it spread rapidly in his mind like wildfire.
He imagined himself catching a glimpse of her from afar, even if it was just a fleeting glance, as long as he was careful enough not to be noticed by her.
Even if she's discovered, so what? After all, eight years is like a merciless carving knife, changing so much. Maybe she won't even recognize herself at first glance.
But, do we really have to go?
A bitter smile appeared on Cheng Yi's lips, a smile full of bitterness and helplessness.
He raised his hand and gently touched his head, where a lingering shadow constantly reminded him that the system's lifespan indicator also told him he only had a few dozen days left to live.
He slowly lowered his hand, a resolute glint in his eyes. Forget it, given his current state, he shouldn't disturb her life.
Let her be happy in her own world, even if the person who brings her happiness isn't you.
Cheng Yi lowered his head, as if all his strength had been drained away, and sighed deeply, his voice full of disappointment.
He dragged his heavy steps into the bathroom, ready to wash away his fatigue. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help but frown, muttering, "Why is the bathroom floor so slippery? It's like an ice rink. Are you afraid someone won't slip and fall?"
He turned on the showerhead, and the water flowed out slowly. His brows furrowed even more. "This showerhead is so slow. It's like a snail crawling. It's such a hassle to take a shower."
He picked up the shower gel, squeezed some onto his hand, and noticed its rough texture. He couldn't help but complain, "This shower gel is of such poor quality, really."
However, he quickly consoled himself, "Oh well, there's nothing I can do. I've seen a lot in my life, so I'll just have to put up with this little flaw."
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Cheng got up early, packed her things, and went to the front desk to check out.
He drove aimlessly around the streets. The streets were not yet bustling in the early morning, with only the wisps of smoke rising from the breakfast shops adding a touch of life to the city.
Suddenly, a sign for a noodle shop called Taihe Banmian from Anhui caught his eye. He parked his car on the side of the road and went straight in.
The store was bustling with people, a lively scene, all because the prices were so affordable.
A bowl of noodles costs only 10 yuan, and if you add an egg and a sausage, it's only 2 yuan.
Looking at the affordable prices, Cheng Yi secretly marveled at how good the business was, even though it was so early in the morning.
He found an empty seat and sat down. Soon after, a steaming bowl of noodles was served.
The aroma of the noodles wafted through the air, topped with a layer of red oil that looked incredibly appetizing. Cheng Yi took a bite and immediately gasped, "Ouch, this is way too spicy!"
His 17-point constitution seemed to be struggling to withstand the spiciness; his lips quickly turned bright red, like they were covered in bright lipstick.
After finishing breakfast, Cheng Yi patted his stomach contentedly, then drove towards the mine.
Throughout the journey, he felt conflicted, unsure of what awaited him.
When the car arrived near the mine, after receiving a system notification and confirming that no one was around, Cheng Yi took a deep breath, his expression turned serious, and he began his journey.
The system prompts that, due to the Punisher's strong will, you may choose to consume 5 or 8 energy points to enter a Level 1 or Level 1+ movie world.
A white portal appeared a dozen meters away, next to which was another white portal with a hint of green.
Without thinking twice, he instinctively stepped on the gas and drove straight into the white-green portal.
In an instant, a bone-chilling cold air rushed into his head like a surging tide. This cold air was like countless icy steel needles, piercing through his entire body with unstoppable force.
He felt as if his head was being gripped tightly by a merciless hand, and the cold spread rapidly, making his entire head feel numb and numbed.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Yi slowly opened his eyes, and his vision gradually became clear.
He found his car parked steadily on the side of the road, surrounded by a bustling street with pedestrians coming and going.
He subconsciously looked around, and suddenly his gaze was drawn to the scene on the building next door. The building was covered with all kinds of light boxes and signs, and the colorful lights still shimmered with a unique brilliance in the sunlight.
Several of the signs were particularly eye-catching and read "Sister Feng from the North" and "Thai Massage".
Cheng Yi's eyes widened, filled with doubt. Why did this scene seem so familiar?
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This is...this is...Hong Kong?"
His brow furrowed, and countless thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to understand his current situation.
System notification: You have entered the Level 1+ film world "The Serious Crimes of Tuen Mun". Your identity is Cheng Yi, nicknamed Ah Yi, a member of the Hong Kong Royal Constables' Serious Crimes Unit led by Danny Lee. Your mount's appearance has been changed to the appearance of this world, automatically consuming 1 energy point. As long as you can stay at the rear, the danger in this world is extremely low.
Just as Cheng Yi was still immersed in his confusion about his surroundings, a sudden and crisp telephone ringing rang out, echoing in the cramped carriage.
Cheng Yi suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw an old-fashioned mobile phone lying in the passenger seat, ringing its bell. The ringing sound seemed to carry a kind of magic from the past.
Cheng Yi was a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he still reached out and took the mobile phone.
He examined the unfamiliar object closely, his mind filled with doubt: Could this be mine? How did it end up here? His brow furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes. After a brief moment of thought, he pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Ah Yi, there's a case, get back to the police station right away." A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Police station? Which police station?" Cheng Yi asked, looking completely confused.
"Which police station? You haven't forgotten, have you? You were just transferred to Tuen Mun. Oh well, come to the parking lot at the entrance of the Tuen Mun Police Station. I've just finished shopping and will wait for you here." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little impatient.
Before Cheng could say anything more, the call was disconnected.
Cheng Yi reluctantly put down his mobile phone, a troubled look on his face.
He looked at his system map, but there was no map of Hong Kong. What should he do? He sat in the driver's seat, feeling somewhat lost.
Just then, someone was walking towards them from outside the car door.
Cheng Yi, as if seeing a savior, hurriedly opened the car door and called out to the man, "Boss, how do I get to Tuen Mun Police Station?"
The man stopped, looked Cheng Yi up and down, and said, "Tuen Mun Police Station? Just keep going straight from here, turn right after you see the bend, and keep driving until you see it."
Cheng thanked him profusely, then quickly returned to the driver's seat and started the car.
He drove carefully, following the man's instructions.
Throughout the journey, he kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, not daring to relax for a moment.
After driving for more than ten minutes, the striking building of Tuen Mun Police Station finally came into view.
As soon as Cheng Yi drove his car into the parking lot at the main gate, he saw a man in his thirties standing outside, waving enthusiastically at his car.
The man was of medium build, dressed in casual clothes, and had a warm smile on his face.
Cheng Yi parked the car and got out.
Upon seeing this, the man quickly raised his hand and gently brushed back the hair beside his slightly receding hairline, carefully concealing the rather conspicuous "Mediterranean" (male pattern baldness). Only then did he shout in a familiar tone, "Ah Yi, come here and help me get my things."
Cheng Yi walked over quickly and saw two bags on the ground. The bags were semi-transparent, and he could clearly see that they contained all kinds of breakfast items and drinks, including steaming buns and several cups of drinks that were still dripping with water. They looked like they had just been bought.
The man smiled and said, "Hey, Ah Yi, don't say I didn't help you. Today is your first day working in Tuen Mun. According to our rules here, breakfast and drinks are on you today. Is that alright?"
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Cheng Yi smiled broadly and replied, "Brother Mai, what are you talking about? How can one breakfast be enough?"
"How about this, let's go to Fu Lin Men for dinner tonight. I'll treat everyone to a nice meal." His tone was relaxed and generous, and his eyes revealed sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Amai's eyes lit up immediately, and he laughed, "Fulinmen? That's a seafood restaurant, it's not cheap to eat there once. No wonder you're a rich young master, you have a mobile phone and a car, and most importantly, you're so generous to your colleagues. Ah Yi, you're sure to get a promotion."
As she spoke, she nudged Cheng Yi's shoulder lightly with her elbow, her face full of admiration.
Cheng Yi smiled modestly and said, "As for the promotion, I'll have to rely on Brother Mai's help." He bowed slightly, his attitude sincere, though he was actually a little apprehensive. Fulimen Restaurant was the biggest sign he had seen when he first arrived in this world, and he figured a restaurant with such a large sign must be good. As for how much it would cost, that was not a question a billionaire would need to consider.
Amai laughed heartily, patted him hard on the shoulder, and praised, "You have emotional intelligence and know how to talk. Let's go upstairs."
Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Yi reached into his pocket, pulled out a large gold bull note (one thousand Hong Kong dollars), and handed it to Amai.
Amai didn't stand on ceremony. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she generously put the money away. Then, she and Cheng Yi walked towards the police station building, chatting and laughing.
Cheng Yi followed Ah Mai into the second floor of the Tuen Mun Police Station, which was the office area of the Serious Crimes Unit.
As soon as I entered, I heard a lively chatter. I saw several men sitting together, with a smart and capable-looking girl dressed like a man next to them. They were having a great time.
Ah Mai raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone, sir, breakfast is here!" His voice echoed in the room.
An old man with his hair parted in the middle frowned and complained, "I asked you to buy breakfast, not to make it. Why did you take so long? My old bones are almost starving!" He rubbed his stomach as he spoke, looking very dissatisfied.
The girl's eyes lit up, and she smiled, saying, "Oh dear, Amai, you must be tired carrying so many things. Oh, and who is this?"
Her gaze fell on Cheng Yi, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Amai smiled and waved, saying, "Come, come, let me introduce you all. This is our new colleague from the Major Crimes Unit today, Cheng Yi. You can call him A-Yi from now on."
As he spoke, he patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder.
Then he continued, "And also, Ah Yi paid for all this breakfast and drinks. Oh, and nobody's allowed to leave after get off work tonight! It's Fu Lin Men, Ah Yi's treating, let's drink until we drop!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gaped in astonishment and gasped in surprise.
A young man in his early twenties, with delicate features and a resemblance to the monk Xuzhu from the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," said with some concern, "That will cost a lot of money. Isn't that a bit much?" He scratched his head and looked at Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi smiled gently and said to everyone, "Dear brothers and sisters, please don't be so polite with me. Today is my first day here, and I will have to rely on everyone's help in the future."
"It's my treat, so please don't skimp on the meal. Eat to your heart's content and drink until you're completely drunk!" His tone was sincere and enthusiastic, and his eyes revealed genuine affection.
Amai chuckled and teased, "Don't underestimate this kid. He drives a car and has a cell phone. He's a rich young master." There was a hint of envy in his eyes.
Cheng Yi quickly waved his hand and said modestly, "No, no, it's just a small business, nothing to mention."
The young man who looked like Xu Zhu stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Ah Yi, hello, you can call me Ah Wei."
The girl walked up casually and introduced herself: "I'm Fanny, but they all call me Little Chili. We'll be colleagues from now on!" Her smile was bright and confident.
Just as the others were about to speak, they heard a steady footstep. They turned to look and saw a person walking in from outside.
Cheng Yi's eyes widened in surprise: Li Xiuxian? The biggest star in the entire movie! It's said that this movie was invested and produced by his company back then. It seems that he also made "Char Siu Bao" (a popular Chinese comedy).
Li Xiuxian walked over with steady steps, his gaze falling on Cheng Yi with a mixture of scrutiny and appreciation in his eyes. He slowly said, "You must be Cheng Yi. It's quite impressive that you're chatting so enthusiastically with everyone so soon after you arrived."
His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the room.
Ah Mai said with a smile, "Li sir, Ah Yi just said that he's inviting us to have dinner together at Fook Lam Moon after everyone gets off work tonight. Li sir, why don't you come along too?"
His eyes revealed anticipation, and his other colleagues nodded in agreement.
