I rely on unlimited life extension

Cheng Yi's taxi passed through the portal without any hindrance, and then disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"Damn it, Hong Kong, here I am again." Cheng Yi had just come to his senses when he couldn't help but curse under his breath. "Oh no, how could I be so forgetful? I actually forgot to ask whether my identity after entering would be myself or another character in the story."

A strong sense of dizziness suddenly struck, and Cheng Yi felt as if his head had been turned into a mess.

As the dizziness subsided, he found himself standing on a bustling street.

He subconsciously looked down at his clothes, then reached out and touched his body, inwardly cursing, "Looks like this isn't me."

Just then, a man's urgent voice came from behind: "Brother Hao, hurry up! Why are you taking so long to smoke a cigarette? If all the brothers were like you, our casino would go bankrupt!"

Cheng Yi turned around upon hearing the voice and saw a man who looked to be about thirty years old.

The man, dressed in extremely casual clothes, was sitting lazily in a chair, a smiling expression on his face, his eyes fixed on him.

Cheng Yi frowned and casually said, "What's the rush? I'm just getting some fresh air here; it's stuffy in there."

Upon hearing this, the man's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Really just complaining about how stuffy it is in there? Or are you just too scared to keep losing in there?"

Cheng Yi snorted coldly, full of disdain. He leisurely reached into his pocket and pulled out a large stack of HK$1,000 banknotes, waving them in front of the man and flashing them: "Afraid? Hmph, the word 'afraid' doesn't exist in my dictionary. Since you're so eager for me to win money, then I'll grant your wish today. Lead the way!"

The moment the man saw the thick stack of banknotes, his lazy demeanor vanished instantly, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he had been injected with a powerful stimulant.

However, he didn't stand up, but just sat in the chair and said, "Brother Hao, you've been here so many times, you know the way well, why don't you just go in yourself?"

Cheng Yi snorted again, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "So you look down on me, huh? What about now?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a large gold bull bill and gently placed it on the man's collar.

The man was startled by the sudden action and exclaimed "Ouch!" Then he immediately smiled broadly and bowed, saying, "Brother Hao, we're already so familiar with each other, you're still being so polite, it's so embarrassing!"

Cheng Yi looked serious and patted him on the shoulder: "I don't mean anything by it, I just want to tell you that leading guests in is your job, understand?"

The man's smile became even more obsequious, and he quickly said, "Brother Hao, if all customers were as generous as you, I would be willing to run myself ragged."

After saying that, he quickly stood up and walked ahead to lead the way for Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi followed the child prodigy and slowly walked into the stairwell. The stairwell was dimly lit, exuding a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere.

The two walked to the outside of a room on the first floor, where it was so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard.

The child prodigy stepped forward and rhythmically knocked twice on the door. Immediately afterward, a small window in the door creaked open, and a head popped out—it was a man in his forties.

He frowned slightly, his eyes warily scanning the area outside. His gaze fell on the child prodigy, and he asked in an unfriendly tone, "What do you want, child prodigy?"

The man nicknamed "Prodigy" didn't seem to care, still wearing his usual playful expression, and replied, "Nothing, just bring Brother Hao in."

As he spoke, he turned to the side so that the people inside could see Cheng Yi clearly.

The man paused slightly upon hearing the words "Brother Hao," narrowed his eyes to scrutinize the prodigy, his gaze then shifting to Cheng Yi, looking him up and down carefully, a hint of surprise unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

The prodigy didn't pay attention to his reaction and turned to Cheng Yi with a big smile, saying, "Brother Hao, I'll go guard the gate first. You can have fun here."

After saying that, he turned to the man inside the house, shook the large golden bull in his hand, raised his chin, and said with a hint of smugness, "Look, learn from this, you have to be more polite to Brother Hao."

After saying that, he whistled and slowly left. The hallway returned to its previous quiet, leaving only Cheng Yi and the man inside who was still sizing him up.

The man inside opened the door with lightning speed, and said with a big smile, "Brother Hao, please come in."

The system has notified you that you have entered the Royal Anti-Fraud Squad storyline, and your new role is Lin Zhihao, the head of the Major Crimes Unit.

"Hmm? Lin Zhihao?" Cheng Yi, or rather, he who was now Lin Zhihao, pondered to himself.

"That constable who was swindled out of his entire fortune by the conman Yan Rong and finally committed suicide by shooting himself when he had nowhere else to turn?"

"Oh my god, I've become this unlucky guy." A complex smile appeared on his lips, a mixture of helplessness and other emotions.

"Okay, now that I'm you, hehe." He chuckled to himself.

"Your beautiful wife, that charming young woman, is mine."

The man opposite Lin Zhihao felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Lin Zhihao's smile. The smile seemed eerie to him, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He really couldn't figure out what Lin Zhihao's smile meant.

However, when his gaze fell on the striking golden bull (HK$1,000 banknote) in Lin Zhihao's hand, all his doubts and confusion vanished instantly, like mist dispelled by sunlight.

His eyes immediately burned with desire as he stared greedily at the banknote, eagerly reaching out to take it. Lin Zhihao, seeing this, smiled slightly and gently placed the banknote in his hand.

The man took the money, his face instantly lighting up with a delighted smile. His eyes narrowed into slits as he hurriedly said, "Brother Hao, please! I wish you a fantastic night and lots of good luck!"

As soon as Lin Zhihao stepped into the casino, he was greeted by a cacophony of noise.

His gaze swept across the room, and he saw that each room had a table, surrounded by gamblers.

The space here is small, but it has everything you need, including all kinds of gambling equipment.

Moreover, unlike other casinos, everyone here pays in cash, so there's no need to exchange for chips, which is very convenient for gamblers.

Cheng Yi had always been a well-behaved child, and places like casinos were completely foreign to him.

But Lin Zhihao was different; he was a regular at the casino. However, it seemed like he was plagued by bad luck, always losing more than winning, practically just throwing money away to the casino.

Cheng Yi wanted to try his luck this time, so he withdrew 50,000 yuan from his film and television world bank card.

To his surprise, after just over an hour and a half of playing various gambling devices, he lost all 50,000 yuan like water. It seems he really wasn't cut out for gambling.

However, Cheng Yi did not look dejected. On the contrary, his smile grew wider because he discovered that his system actually had other uses.

Finally, he strolled over to the Sic Bo table.

Just then, a young man saw him and greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother Hao, why aren't you playing Pai Gow today? I remember you were really into playing Pai Gow!"

Lin Zhihao smirked and said with a wry smile, "I just suffered a pretty bad loss, so I came here to see if I can turn my luck around."

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately became interested and said with a smile, "Oh? Then we'll have to take a good look at your fortune, Brother Hao."

Lin Zhihao reached into his pocket and pulled out a large stack of hundred-yuan bills. The bright red bills were particularly dazzling under the casino lights.

When he heard the dealer shout "Place your bets now!", he calmly pulled out a few bills and placed them in the "small" area.

A moment later, the dealer slowly opened the dice cup. The three dice showed 3, 4, and 6, totaling 13 points – a "big".

Lin Zhihao lost again, but his expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened. He then pulled out a few more bills from the stack of money, preparing for the next round.

After a few more rounds, Lin Zhihao seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly bet all the remaining tens of thousands of dollars on "big".

Those around gasped in shock, their eyes glued to the dice cup. The dealer opened the cup again; the dice showed 2, 2, 4, 8—a low number.

Lin Zhihao lost everything this time, but he actually laughed, clapped his hands, sighed slightly, chatted casually with the young man next to him for a few words, and then turned and left the casino.

That silhouette exuded a sense of nonchalance, yet also seemed to carry a hint of helplessness.

Damn it, this casino is cheating.

Mingming used the fifth effect of the system's Divine Healer skill to detect that the dice roll was 12. However, after the dice cup was opened, the roll changed.

It seems that the saying "nine out of ten gambling games are scams" is absolutely true.

As Cheng Yi left the casino, the prodigy who had been waiting outside immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, bowing and scraping obsequiously, his flattering words flying like a machine gun, relentlessly trying to get into Cheng Yi's ears.

Cheng Yi was in a really good mood today, and this flattery made him even more pleased. He smiled slightly and casually pulled out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to the prodigy.

Cheng Yi slowly walked to his car, where he saw a taxi that had been completely altered.

He glanced at it indifferently, thinking that it didn't matter what the car looked like, since the system was driving it and he didn't need to worry about it at all.

Following Lin Zhihao's memory, Cheng Yi drove home.

It has to be said that Lin Zhihao, as the leader of the Major Crimes Unit, lives in a rather dilapidated building. Although he can stand by the window and see the sea, and the building is three stories high, it is really quite old.

The mottled exterior walls and slightly worn doors and windows seemed out of place for his status.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not hard to understand. After all, the original owner of this body was a gambler. How could someone addicted to gambling have the mind to manage their residence? The car sped through the night, and Cheng Yi's thoughts drifted away with the scenery outside the car window.

As soon as Lin Zhihao pushed open the door and entered the room, he reached out and turned on the light, which instantly illuminated the room.

He immediately spotted a woman in white pajamas sitting on the sofa. She sat there quietly, like a statue, without making a sound, staring blankly ahead.

Lin Zhihao quickly stepped forward and asked softly, "Shanshan, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

His wife, Yongshan, slowly raised her head. She held a stack of printed papers in her hand, her face slightly tired. In a low voice, she said to Lin Zhihao, "These are the bills for the property management, water, electricity, and car loan. I was going to wait for you to come back and tell you that I could barely manage this month, but next month... I really can't afford to pay."

After saying that, she got up and prepared to go to her room.

Lin Zhihao rushed forward, grabbed her arm, and hurriedly said, "Don't rush, Yongshan, I have something to tell you."

Yongshan frowned, forcefully shook off his hand, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I'm very tired right now and just want to rest."

Seeing this, Lin Zhihao quickly stepped forward and blocked her way, saying sincerely, "I know you're very angry right now, but just give me ten seconds, just ten seconds."

Yongshan stopped, sighed deeply, and stood there quietly, looking at him with cold eyes.

Lin Zhihao said nothing more, silently reaching into his pocket to pull out a large stack of hundred-yuan bills. The stack was surprisingly thick, amounting to hundreds of thousands of yuan. He carefully placed it in Yongshan's hand.

Seeing the horrified look in Yongshan's eyes, Lin Zhihao took out another thick wad of banknotes from the back pocket of his pants and gently placed it in her hand.

At this moment, Yongshan's hands began to tremble slightly. She slowly raised her head, looking at Lin Zhihao with complicated emotions, then looked down at the two heavy stacks of banknotes in her hand. Her lips parted slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say, but only hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

Immediately afterwards, Yongshan suddenly hugged Lin Zhihao and burst into tears. The two stacks of banknotes slipped from her hands and scattered on the ground.

Looking at his wife, who was weeping in his arms, Lin Zhihao couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.

"Poverty-stricken couples face a hundred sorrows"—this old saying is truly a profound truth.

Lin Zhihao is really foolish. It's understandable that being a policeman is stressful, but he can't neglect his family and get addicted to gambling.

Unable to even guarantee the most basic necessities of life for his family, he still tried to alleviate his professional stress through such a misguided method. No wonder he was swindled by conman Yan Rong, accumulating huge debts, and ultimately ended his life by shooting himself.

Looking at Yongshan, she found a new love not long after Lin Zhihao's death, which shows that she was not deeply in love with him.

However, this is not incomprehensible. If it were anyone else, not cheating during the marriage would already be considered as doing right by him.

But no matter what, now that I've taken over this situation, I will definitely take good care of Yongshan.

After all, I had just glanced at her figure without realizing it. Although she was a little short, she had all the right features and was indeed very attractive.
