Starting from Hong Kong in 1988!

Xu Guangkun never imagined that one day he would be sitting at the same table drinking with his enemy.

But things are just that magical.

However, he was clearly not in the mood for drinking; he just kept looking at his watch.

Six hours left!

As they chatted and reminisced about their glorious past, Hei Ya Tai noticed this scene, raised his glass, and said, "Drink up. After this, there won't be another time for us like this. Don't think too much about it."

"Okay." Xu Guangkun picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Before the glass was even put down, a wine bottle was brought up.

Amidst the churning white foam, a voice rang out beside Xu Guangkun.

"Are you so eager for me to die?"

But it was Yin Tao who approached him with a bottle of wine.

"You know that's enough." Xu Guangkun said bluntly.

"And you even suggested drinking until dawn." Yin Tao plopped down in the empty seat next to him, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Actually, I never understood why you would shoot at my banquet, but now I do."

"How so?" Xu Guangkun touched him.

Yin Tao gulped down the liquor like a cow, then said in a slightly slurred voice, "Do you know what my first thought was when you fired the gun?"

Before Xu Guangkun could speak, Yin Tao continued, "This Si Jiu actually dared to come? Does he have a death wish? Is revenge that important?"

"Back then I really couldn't understand it, but now..." He looked up at the distance and gestured for Xu Guangkun to look.

Xu Guangkun looked over and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old gangster staring intently at them, his lips pursed tightly.

"That guy was my new underling. We'd only been together for a few days. I just gave him some money to pay for my mother's medical treatment, and he dared to die with me." Yin Tao handed Xu Guangkun a cigarette, his expression calm. "Being around someone like him, I understand. You people value gratitude and life as much."

He continued, "I'm not as particular as you guys. I've never valued feelings. I'm not as good as you."

"You regret it? You realize you were wrong?" Xu Guangkun asked abruptly.

"I never thought killing your older brother was wrong, and I don't regret coming to this point." Yin Tao raised the lit cigarette in his hand. "555, gold-plated, I've never smoked such a good cigarette in my entire life. It's enough after smoking it for a few days."

"Some people live a lifetime, while others live only a fleeting moment." Yin Tao took out a dragon-headed staff from his pocket and placed it on the dining table. "I live only for the moment of my rise to power. As the old saying goes, 'If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.'"

"Incomprehensible." Xu Guangkun couldn't understand people like him.

"I also think you're being unreasonable. But it's alright, let's drink and send me off on my final journey."

Yin Tao patted Xu Guangkun on the shoulder, stood up, and raised his wine glass.

"Cheers!"

Xu Guangkun and the others raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.

.......

Time passed slowly, and everyone at the table except Xu Guangkun got completely drunk.

When Xu Guangkun looked at the watch again,

Yin Tao suddenly sat up.

Sensing something, he looked at Xu Guangkun.

A black pistol had appeared in his hand, like a vengeful ghost tolling a death knell.

Yin Tao paused for two seconds, then said:

"Time is up?"

"right."

Xu Guangkun nodded.

The banquet should end now.

"I can do it myself." Yin Tao turned around and beckoned to his underling, who had somehow appeared behind him and whose eyes were bloodshot. "Come here."

The younger brother walked up to him with a resentful look on his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Big brother."

"Don't follow my old path, and don't even think about avenging me. Get lost." Yin Tao stood up unsteadily and walked towards a deserted place.

After his figure had completely disappeared from his subordinate's sight.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, startling everyone awake.

"Is he/she dead?"

The leader opened his eyes in confusion and saw a gun pointed at him.

Xu Guangkun was about to fire.

A loud roar echoed around him.

He turned his head and saw Yin Tao's henchman holding a gun, his face contorted with rage.

"Give me back my brother's life!"

Xu Guangkun was startled, dodged the gun barrel, and fired several shots in succession.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

.....

Xu Guangkun came to his senses.

The surroundings have changed.

A simply furnished room with a Simmons bed, a white wardrobe, and plastic tables and chairs.

He dropped the gun, turned on the bedside light switch, and plopped down on the bed, looking dazed.

"I'm back?"

Before he could figure it out...

The blue light curtain had already spread across his face.

Images flashed by within.

Big Brother, Old Pan, Jiang Lanxin's face.....

The dark and cramped Kowloon Walled City, the bread truck filled with gunpowder smoke, the police cars parked in front of the Sun Sun Restaurant, and Yin Tao walking into the shadows in the final moments...

All the images distorted and disappeared, only to reappear on the panel as lines of text appeared.

Time: 2026.

Location: Xindu, Chengdu.

The task at hand is as follows:

Part 1: Make a name for yourself in Hong Kong (Progress: 100%)

Second: Obtain 200 catties of gold (Progress: 100%)

3. Obtain the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Zhongshan Classic" (Progress: 100%)

At the same time, a strange voice, indistinguishable as male or female, rang in Xu Guangkun's ears: "Start the settlement? Please note that after the settlement, Kyushu will be completely bound and all functions will be activated. The settlement time is 78 hours. If the settlement is not completed, it will be considered an automatic waiver and your memory will be erased."

Xu Guangkun ignored the sound and walked to the window to look down.

Countless men with bare arms were smoking and playing drinking games at a barbecue stall when a young man wearing glasses stepped forward to offer some advice.

"New regulations are now in effect, prohibiting smoking in public places."

"I can't read, I don't know, and I'm not smoking your cigarettes. I don't need your help. Do you want me to give you one too?"

"That's the rule!"

"Is this illegal? If it is, then call the police station and have them shoot me."

So noisy, yet so full of life.

Xu Guangkun finally smiled: "I'm back."

.....

Gunshots rang out from the restaurant where Xu Guangkun had left.

After a long while, everything calmed down.

Jiang Sir walked into the restaurant.

"Xu Guangkun?"

"Xu Guangkun, are you still alive?"

Jiang Sir's gaze wandered over the corpses, and he patiently squatted down to turn them over one by one.

.....

Xu Guangkun had no idea that Jiang Sir had come looking for him again, nor did he know what Jiang Sir was thinking when he couldn't find him.

He's squatting in the convenience store now, gnawing on a cold, hard rice ball.

"Is my instant noodles ready yet?"

He didn't actually want to eat at the convenience store, but his phone was long gone, so he had no choice but to come here. Luckily, technology is so advanced now that he can use facial recognition.

"Hey buddy, are you just getting off work?"

The convenience store clerk, holding a bowl of instant noodles, struck up a conversation with him warmly.

"I haven't been to work for several days, I'll go back to work tomorrow."

Xu Guangkun picked up the bowl of noodles and slurped them up.

Although the other world possesses mysterious powers and is filled with magnificent and exciting adventures, it also faces countless dangers.

A life where you have to risk your life isn't actually that wonderful.

Xu Guangkun still prefers this ordinary, commonplace, yet peaceful world.

I'm sorry to Jiang Lanxin.

Xu Guangkun sighed, wiped his mouth, and strode away.
