Chapter 123 Repeating the same trick
To be honest, Lin Hao was not very interested in what Henry said, because as a vested interest, he would definitely consciously maintain policies that were beneficial to him.

But Lin Hao couldn't understand why Henry was so compassionate and felt that his ideas were very strange!
Only when their own interests are harmed or not satisfied will they stand up in resistance and overthrow a policy or group.

Therefore, when Lin Hao saw Henry was so "kind", he quickly formed a plan in his mind, so he said to Henry:
"Henry, what you said is so shocking. I want to go to the slums with you to see if it is just as you said."

Henry was a little hesitant. He didn't want Lin Hao to take the risk with him because he didn't expect to come back alive after going to the slums.

But seeing Lin Hao's determined eyes made him very happy. It was rare for someone to agree with his ideas, which made him feel like he had found a confidant. This made him even more hesitant.

But after thinking for a long time, he agreed to Lin Hao's request and said:
"Okay! I'll take you with me when I go, so we can see what life is like in the slums!"

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Ok! Then when are you going to leave?"

"tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare, see you tomorrow!" After saying that, Lin Hao seemed to have thought of something and said again:

"Henry, give me another half hour. I'm doing an experiment. It only takes half an hour."

"Come on!" Henry looked at Lin Hao in silence, then reached out and held Lin Hao's hand.

Lin Hao watched Henry turn around smoothly for half an hour without any abnormality. Then he looked at the extra 30 minutes displayed on his arm and nodded.
"By the way, thank you for the gift. I'll accept it and see you tomorrow!" Lin Hao said.

"See you tomorrow!"

This time, Lin Hao asked Henry to transfer half an hour to him in order to see whether he could continue to use time after Henry solidified his time life skills.

The result was obvious. There was nothing abnormal with Henry. The time on his arm could still be controlled, and there were no other changes.

Lin Hao's guess was confirmed. Skill solidification should be copying and reconstruction, rather than depriving others of their abilities.

Then Lin Hao returned to his home. The purpose of his coming here was to prolong his life, but this goal has not yet been achieved.

Currently, he only has one year transferred to him by Henry, so he plans to find a place to supplement his life time.

He does need time, because this time can replace the consumption of his own life. The sooner he uses it, the sooner he can enjoy it!

Lin Hao dressed himself up and took a taxi to a medium-sized chess and card club.

Because it was my first time here, I was stopped by the service staff at the door!

"Sir, this is your first time here!"

Lin Hao nodded, said nothing, and just looked at the waiter.

"Sir, guests who come here for the first time need to pay a week's ticket!" said the waiter politely.

Lin Hao was somewhat fortunate that this gambling - no, it was the chess and card club that only needed a week, and it was within his tolerance, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get in the door.

If he went to a top casino like the protagonist and donated a year to be allowed in, he would have no choice but to sell his house.

After paying the waiter for a week's time, Lin Hao entered the chess and card club.

After entering the hall, Lin Hao looked around and found that it was similar to the casino in the previous world, except that gambling on money had become gambling on life.

In view of the fact that he had little capital and only 51 weeks, Lin Hao came to the betting area, found an open seat and started betting. One advantage of betting is that there is no limit on the betting amount.

Just now, Lin Hao walked around and observed, and found that there were not many suitable places for him to bet. For example, the gambling table for playing cards has a betting limit of one year, and his capital is not enough.

The dealer who was betting on the size of the dice took his hand off the dice cup and said to the guests at the table:
"Please place your bet!"

After setting the time node, Lin Hao casually entered a time of twenty weeks into the machine on the gambling table. Other gamblers also placed bets one after another. The amount of bets varied, with Lin Hao placing the highest bet. Others placed bets of more than ten weeks, and some even placed bets of three to five days.

On the monitor on the gambling table, the time had accumulated to 1 year and 3 weeks. After everyone had placed their bets, the dealer opened the dice cup and the results were 1, 2, 5, small.

Hey! You are forcing me to cheat! Then Lin Hao used time rewind, spent 1 fate point and 2 minutes of life time, went back to the beginning of the bet, and bought small without hesitation.

I have never dared to use the time-rewinding skill recklessly before, because every time I use it, I will consume my lifespan. Now that the world has a substitute, I can naturally have some fun.

Afterwards, Lin Hao seemed to be possessed by the God of Gamblers. He slaughtered all opponents at the gambling table and won eleven years in just half an hour.

In order to prevent others from following suit and thus attracting the attention of the casino, Lin Hao found a new card table. Two hours later, Lin Hao won 320 years of time again, using the time rewinding skill 6 times.

As for why it was only used 6 times, Lin Hao certainly did not cheat every time. There were wins and losses at the gambling table, and he did not care when he lost little. He would only use the time rewinding skill when the stakes were too big.

Lin Hao felt that it was enough. He couldn't go too far. After all, this was not Earth. He didn't know if the casino would have any ideas.

Afterwards, Lin Hao left the chess and card club with 320 years of time. What should he do with 320 years of savings? Of course, he should spend money.

He went to a jewelry store and spent a year asking them to make a ring and a necklace on the spot. The only requirement was that they should be hollow. After waiting for two hours, Lin Hao got the finished product.

Afterwards, Lin Hao did not go home, but went to a luxury hotel, spent a month there, and stayed there for one night. Of course, his purpose was not to give others an opportunity to take advantage of him.

The next day.

Lin Hao returned to his home early in the morning. There was no sign of anything being ransacked in the house, so it seemed that no one was watching him.

Then Lin Hao used the Traceless Stretching Spell to expand the space of the ring and necklace, expanding both to 1331 cubic meters!

He took out two more time storage devices, each storing one year's time, and placed them in the ring space and necklace space respectively.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any guns, and I didn't know where to buy one for the time being, so I took a kitchen knife and put it into the space. It can be used for self-defense at least. Besides, putting it in the space can also have the effect of surprise.

If it were an ordinary urban world, Lin Hao wouldn't have to be so nervous.

However, the time police in this world are armed, and we have to go to the slums tomorrow, so it is better to be prepared.

After Lin Hao and Henry met up, they took a car through time zones and arrived at the 12th time zone, which was known as the slums.

林昊看了一眼时间0318·30·6·15·08·11，车费加上路费，总共花费了整整1年20周时间.
It seems that it will take so much time to go back, but this is nothing to Lin Hao, because he is a rich man!
Coming to this 12 time zone, the feeling is completely different from that of the 4th zone. There is no need to compare the environmental sanitation. There are too many factories here, so don't expect it to be very good.

"Do you feel it?" Henry looked at Lin Hao and said, "Even the air here is filled with tension!"

Without Henry's words, Lin Hao also felt that the people here were serious and hurried, and even saw many people running from time to time, just to buy a few minutes of time. There were also arm wrestling competitions on the street, both sides bet their time, the winner would of course live a good life for a few days, and the loser would naturally become a corpse on the roadside.

No longer looking at these bad things, Lin Hao asked Henry:

"Where are we going now? We won't just keep looking at this roadside!"

"I have booked a room in the hotel and can stay here for a day or two. As for you, I will take you around first and you can go back in the afternoon!

As he spoke, Henry took Lin Hao to visit the 12 time zones, industrial areas, living areas, and so on.

When the tour was over, it was already afternoon. Henry said to Lin Hao:

"It's almost time, you should call a car and go back as soon as possible!"

Henry originally had the intention of seeking death, so he took Lin Hao to visit District 12 and planned to let Lin Hao go back by himself because he didn't intend to go back alive.

"Hey! Henry, please don't abandon me. We came here together, so of course we have to go back together. At least let me experience the life here!"

Of course Lin Hao was dissatisfied with Henry's arrangement. If he left him, who knows where he would find the male lead!

Henry shook his head and said with a smile:

"Okay! Don't worry, let's go to the bar first, have a drink, and experience the different customs from the Fourth District!

"But you have to promise me to go back as soon as possible. It's not safe here in the slums!"

Lin Hao knew the plot of the play, Henry and the protagonist Will met in a bar, so he readily agreed:

"Okay Henry, take me there now!"

Afterwards, Henry took Lin Hao to a bar. After listening to deafening music, Henry ordered two drinks after sitting at the bar, pushed one glass of wine to Lin Hao, and then started drinking by himself.

Lin Hao picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then said, "I added a lot of water, and even the taste of the wine is almost gone!"

"Lin! This is a slum area. If the wine is not diluted with water, do you think they can afford it?" Henry rolled up his sleeves and said to the bartender: "I'll buy everyone a drink!"

The bartender looked at Henry's time in surprise. It was 116 years. He did not dare to neglect it and directly told the good news to all the guests in the bar:

"This gentleman wants everyone to have a drink!"

The whole bar began to become noisy. Some people thanked Henry for his generosity, some looked at him curiously, and many beauties were ready to get close to Henry.

Henry said to Lin Hao proudly: "Not everyone is like us, with plenty of time to waste."

"That's right!" As he said that, Lin Hao helped Henry roll up his sleeves to cover the time on his arm, and asked again:
"Henry, what is your purpose here?"

In fact, Lin Hao was really curious why Henry had such a kind heart!
Henry sighed, looked at Lin Hao seriously and said:

"Child, you are still young. When you live to be a hundred years old like me, you may understand my feelings. Drink this cup and go back!"

Seeing that Henry didn't want to talk and asked him to go back, he said:
"Hey! I just got here and haven't even finished my glass of wine yet. You can't chase me away. I want to feel the hospitality here, too!"

Of course Lin Hao would not leave. He was just waiting for the protagonist to arrive, so he naturally had to find an excuse to stay!

"Also, don't call me kid, you're only 25 years old, we're the same age!"

Lin Hao said this and gestured to Henry, the blonde girl with big wavy hair sitting next to him!
"Take it easy!"

With that, Lin Hao ignored Henry, inspected the people in a bar, and walked towards a tall blonde with big wavy hair. This big blonde had blonde hair, blue eyes, a slim waist and thin legs. Lin Hao was ready to discuss ethical issues with her.

After all, several generations are 25 years old, and I think this setting is really interesting.

With his rich experience in the battlefields for many years and the advantages of being young and rich, he seduced this blonde foreign mare and made her want him so much.

However, Lin Hao came here for another purpose after all, so he just flirted with the girl without pulling out his gun. He invited the girl to have a few drinks and then just chatted with her, and by the way, got to know the local customs and practices here.

Not long after, when Lin Hao looked up at Henry, he found that behind the big wave next to him, there was a monkey-faced man staring at Henry with a landline receiver in his hand.

Lin Hao knew that this was District 12 and it was the people of the Time Robbery Society, so he thought of the robbers in the real world.

However, after watching this movie, Lin Hao discovered that the time police seemed to be very tolerant towards this group of time robbers.

Lin Hao guessed that this group of people's robbery would help reduce the population of this area, which is essentially the same as other methods of reducing population by increasing taxes and prices.

It's just that one is expressed secretly and the other is expressed nakedly, there is no essential difference.

At this moment, Lin Hao happened to see that the protagonist Will also came to the bar!
Just like in the show, Will comes to see his friend Piro.

This Pillow was a drunkard. When the protagonist got Henry's 116-year fortune, he turned around and gave him 10 years. As a result, this Pillow used the time to drink all day and drank himself to death.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone took away his time and forced him to drink alcohol to disguise his death as drunkenness.

Just like in the original play, Will came here to ask Pirro to go home. Seeing the slightly drunk Pirro, Will said:
"Brother, your wife asked you to go home!"

Piro put his arm around Will's shoulders and said enviously:

"Did you see the man in the suit? This lunatic treated the bartenders to several rounds of drinks, and now he still has more than a hundred years of time left on him!"

Will glanced at Henry. Although he was envious, he did not show it. However, he happened to see someone staring at Henry and knew that this fat sheep was being targeted.

So he said to Pyrrho, "Go quickly, I will take you back!"

"Drink this cup and go home!" said Pirro.

Then Will looked at Henry again, frowned and thought for a moment, then walked up to Henry to remind him.

Seeing this, Lin Hao felt the kitchen knife in the space and felt a little unsafe. You know, in the next conflict, that guy would directly pull out a gun.
