I rely on unlimited life extension

Shagen: (After a moment of silence, his voice softens) Then...should I go back now?

Cheng Yi: (In a gentler tone) Go upstairs and make sure your things are safe. Pack your wife's luggage, put it by the door, and tell her, "I can't live like this anymore. We're getting a divorce tomorrow." Then lock the door and find a hotel to stay in for the night. Tomorrow morning, go to the hospital and make things clear to Wang Peng: "I'll pay for the medical expenses, but our brotherhood ends here. You have to return the company shares, or we'll see each other in court."

Shagen: (Hesitating) What if he doesn't agree?

Cheng Yi: If you don't agree, then sue. Do you have evidence that he misappropriated company funds? Of course you do. You two have been partners for so many years; he couldn't have kept a secret all along. Here's what we'll do: call Yang Mi and ask her to find you a lawyer from Qide Law Firm who specializes in these kinds of cases. We can afford to wait. But remember, this isn't about saving face; it's about telling yourself: what's yours, no one can take away.

Shagen: Brother...I...I'll try...

Cheng Yi: It's not a trial, it's a necessity. You dared to venture into the city alone back then, so now you must be able to clean up this mess all by yourself. Remember, you, Sha Gen, didn't get to where you are today because of anyone else. Even if you lost two people, you still have yourself, and you still have the ability to start over.

Shagen: Brother Yi, I understand. Thanks, Brother Yi.

Cheng Yi: Since you call me Brother Yi, I'm going to support you to the end.

The phone hangs up.

System notification: Punisher, because of your existence, Sha Gen successfully divorced five years earlier than expected. You have gained the supernatural power: Samadhi True Fire, which comes from the character Nezha in the parallel world TV series "Legend, Fantasy Yin Shang". It is formed by the combination of the fire of sight, the fire of will, and the fire of breath, and is said to burn all tangible things in the world.

The group then went to watch the magic show, following the script.

During the performance, Peter Zhu watched as the magician conjured Ah-bian to his side. Then, with Ah-bian, who was both shy and reluctant, he left the performance venue and returned to his presidential suite.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but burst into uncontrollable laughter at Xiaoxin, who had a large chest, as if mocking her situation.

Be careful, you'll see that Brother Lek lifts the big curtain, revealing a tiger.

She was about to swear when, for some reason, as if under a spell, she burst into laughter.

Andy Lau, who was standing next to her, was taken aback by her laughter. Before he could react, Brother Lek was suddenly pounced on by a tiger and knocked to the ground.

Three minutes later, with the magician's help, the group finally managed to drag the tiger away, leaving only the blood-covered Lek-ko lying on the ground screaming for help.

Andy Lau was extremely anxious and rushed to take Brother Lek to the hospital. However, he didn't notice that the big-breasted girl's mouth and nose were covered by two bodyguards with a towel. She fainted after struggling for a few moments and was then quickly taken away.

The unconscious Xiao Xin was taken to Peter Zhu's presidential suite.

When A-bian saw her, he rushed over to check on her, but Peter Zhu grabbed his hand. A-bian tried to break free and even tried to use some tricks, but Peter Zhu, who had revealed his fierce side, threw him hard onto the carpet.

Ah-bian stared in horror at the pistol he pulled from his pocket. In that instant, she knew that the trap they had set for the other side had completely failed. The other side was not the greedy, lustful, stupid, cowardly Peter Zhu described in the files at all, but a meticulous and ruthless opponent.

Inside the hospital, Brother Lek, who was originally going to the trauma department, was wheeled into the operating room.

The doctor gave him an anesthetic injection, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, there was one less man in the world, and she became a half-man, half-woman.

After arriving at the hospital in the ambulance, King Lao Zheng was kidnapped by Fei Fei and four bodyguards.

Seeing the dark muzzles of the guns in the hands of the five men, Ah King was stunned and frightened into immobility. He was then knocked unconscious by the bodyguards.

The next morning, soft sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window and fell on the floor of the ward.

King slowly woke up in the ward, his head still dizzy. He felt as if his whole body was being torn apart, as if every inch of his skin was protesting in pain.

He struggled to lift his head and vaguely saw a faint sobbing coming from the opposite hospital bed. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Brother Lek, who was weeping bitterly.

At this moment, King's vision was blurred, and he could hardly see anything clearly. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog in his eyes.

After Ah King finally came to his senses and regained his senses, Lek-ge told him in detail about their series of tragic experiences with a sorrowful expression.

It turns out that after being bitten by a tiger, Brother Lek inexplicably underwent surgery and turned into a woman. This huge physiological change caused him immense pain.

As for Ah King himself, while in a coma, he "voluntarily" donated a cornea and a kidney to a wealthy man. Although he received a large sum of money as a result, he will probably have to spend his future days in pain.

King felt a mix of emotions as he listened to these words.

In a daze, he suddenly remembered director Hansen Wu. In his hazy memory, it seemed that someone had asked him about him.

Thinking of this, a strange feeling of unease welled up in his heart. He endured the pain in his body, struggled to call a nurse, borrowed her phone, and dialed Hansen Wu's number with trembling fingers.

However, the news from the other end of the phone was like a heavy hammer blow to his heart—Hansen Wu had taken the lead in demonstrating a move for the male lead during filming, but unexpectedly suffered a stroke and is now paralyzed on one side, spending the rest of his life in a hospital bed.

Ah King slowly hung up the phone, feeling a cold sweat pour down his body, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead and soaking his clothes.

He then realized that all his friends, except for Hua Gu Long who was far away in Hong Kong and had not come to the United States, had met with misfortune and were trapped in a vicious cycle from which they could not escape.

Ah King's heart tightened suddenly as he thought of Ah Bian and Xiao Xin, the two women.

An ominous premonition spread through his heart. He hurriedly took out his phone to call Ah Bian, but all he heard was the monotonous tone of a phone being switched off, which made his heart sink to the bottom.

Undeterred, he dialed the Caesars Palace Hotel with trembling fingers, anxiously inquiring about the whereabouts of Ah-bian and Xiao-xin.

But the hotel's response dashed his last hopes. Hotel staff said they had never seen the two women before, as if they had vanished into thin air.

King's heart sank to the very bottom, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss of darkness.

With a dejected expression, he muttered in a low, hoarse voice, "There are always people more capable than us, and there's always something beyond our understanding. It seems that coming to America was a complete mistake."

Upon hearing this, Brother Lek, who was on the opposite hospital bed, cried even more bitterly, saying in a tearful voice, "That's right. In Hong Kong, I was a gambling god revered by everyone, but in America, I've become a monster who is neither male nor female."

The cries, filled with despair and resentment, echoed in the silent ward, breaking the heart of anyone who heard them.

Ah King gave a bitter laugh, saying, "My nickname is Old King Zheng. I've spent half my life setting up schemes and plotting against countless people in the martial arts world. I never expected that I would be tricked by others in this foreign land and end up like this."

Upon hearing this, Brother Le roared in a hoarse voice, "Who? Who the hell harmed me? Who is it? Show yourself!"

Ah King took a deep breath, suppressing his grief and anger, and picked up the phone again.

This time, he dialed Mr. Hong's number. After the call connected, Ah King suppressed his anger and said, "Hello, Mr. Hong, we failed."

Mr. Hong's calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yes, I already know. Two days later, Huagulong will go to the United States to pick you up and take you home."

King gritted his teeth and said, "I want to know, who exactly is Peter Zhu? If I'm not mistaken, he set us up the moment we got off the plane, and he's trapped us all in this mess."

Mr. Hong was silent for a moment, then said, "Really? It seems our information was incorrect!"

Ah King could no longer contain his anger and snorted coldly, "Hmph, just because of one piece of incorrect information, we've been reduced to a living hell. Mr. Hong, you have to give us an explanation!"

Mr. Hong said helplessly, "King, I personally sympathize with what you have gone through, but we have already agreed that I am unaware of anything that happened to your team in the United States."

King laughed angrily and said, "Fine, as expected of officials, they can say whatever they want. I have one last question."

Mr. Hong said calmly, "You can ask, but I may not answer."

King took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Peter Zhu and his money?"

Mr. Hong paused for a moment and said, "I don't know where this person is now, but he transferred 50 billion to our foreign exchange reserve account. The price is that we have to take good care of that woman named Feifei."

Upon hearing this, Ah King was stunned, his mind going completely blank.

After a long while, he slowly let out a long breath and said, "Good, good method. Decisive and quick, you got away unscathed. You are loyal and righteous, and you even protected your woman. I am completely convinced of your defeat."

Just then, Mr. Hong suddenly said, "King, do you know how miserable those people you tricked and killed before were?"

Ah King was stunned again. He slowly shifted his gaze from the phone to Lek-ge on the opposite bed, and then looked down at his own broken body.

Many faces flashed through my mind, and a sharp pain shot through my heart.

Suddenly, he laughed. The laughter was soft at first, but then grew louder and louder, as if he wanted to vent all the pain, regret and helplessness in his heart.

Amidst the unrestrained laughter, tears streamed uncontrollably down his face, dripping onto the pristine white sheets and leaving dark stains.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yi was already lying on the large bed in the presidential suite, learning with several local female college students about the differences in how to write the words for "bed" in Japanese and Korean.

System notification: Punisher, you have completed the villain's final mission: wipe out the protagonist's team and make them wish they were dead.

You have received a system reward: Bastard: Special Skill, from the character Lek Gor in the movie "God of Gamblers II: Las Vegas". It consumes 5 hours of life time and forcibly turns one person in sight into an out-of-control body. As long as you say "Bastard", he will launch an indiscriminate out-of-control attack on people around him for 5 minutes.

The system has notified you that you have obtained a time-travel card for the TV series "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

Feeling completely relaxed, I lay in the bathtub and called Yang Mi. Yang Mi said that she had already told Qide Law Firm to recommend a reliable lawyer to represent Shagen in the lawsuit.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi looked at his attribute panel and set his strength, constitution, agility, and spirit to 50 points each.

The system notification indicates that your four basic attributes have reached 50 points, activating the Punisher promotion quest.

The current world's storyline has ended. Due to the world's low difficulty, the evolution and upgrade missions are unavailable. The system is scanning. The Punisher has 276 free attribute points, meeting the basic attribute requirements for Hero Punisher and Master Punisher. Would you like to consume 170 system energy points to link to the Tower of Babel urban supernatural storyline world and activate the following seventeen storylines: "Ten Evil Arts of Southeast Asia," "The Evil Trilogy," "The Ghost Catcher," "My Senior Brother Encounters a Ghost," "The Ghostly Travel Group," "The Ghost Invades the Underworld," "The Skin-Slapping Ghost," "Ghost vs. Ghost: The Golden Taoist," "The Ghostly Mansion," "The Exorcist Police," "The Monster City," "The Corpse Family," "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley," "The Demon Lips Robbery," "The Celestial Master Catches the Adulterer," "The Curse," and "The Ghostly Mountain Tomb"? (Note: Returning to the previous world is not possible before these seventeen storyline worlds are completed.)

After Cheng Yi accepted, a white, round, funnel-shaped black hole instantly appeared above his head, swallowing his body, and then the black hole disappeared.

System notification: Punisher, you have entered the second level of the Tower of Babel, the urban supernatural world. Your title quest has been issued.

The system prompts that this world not only features movie plots but also extraterrestrial visitors. Your mission is to kill six extraterrestrial visitors. You will receive system energy, life time, and special rewards. (Note: In this supernatural world, you can collect incense energy. Punishers, please collect it carefully, as it will be of great use later.)

Title advancement quests: Exorcising demons in Hong Kong 0/20, Exorcising demons in Thailand 0/10, advance to Master Punisher, all five attributes reach 70 points, link to Hong Kong during World War II, punish the invading Japanese army 0/, advance to Grandmaster Punisher.

Holy crap, I'm directly promoted to Grandmaster level? This reward is just too good to be true! Even though I have to kill 1 Japanese soldiers, I have to accept this mission!

The system has prompted you that because the Punisher entered this world via a smuggled link, the hostility of the native inhabitants towards you has increased by 1. You have no identity in this world, so please take precautions to protect yourself.

The system indicates that you are currently on the rooftop of The Terrace Building in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong.

Cheng Yi looked at the morning sun, concealed himself, jumped off the rooftop, found a deserted street corner, summoned his taxi, got in, and sped away.
