Kai Tak Airport.

People came and went, speaking various standard and non-standard Mandarin, English, and Cantonese in a cacophony...

The entire scene had a peculiar sense of the times.

In the midst of this, Li Feng was leaning against a pillar, rubbing his forehead in confusion and helplessness.

He couldn't understand why he had just stayed up all night playing农药 (a game), and now he had woken up in a different era...

Li Feng, a native of Guangdong Province.

Born in 1992, he was 29 years old. His parents died in an accident when he was in high school, leaving him with seven or eight houses and a few million in inheritance.

During his college years, he also faced demolition.

The seven or eight emotionally significant old houses turned into three or five cold, impersonal buildings.

Faced with such a blow, the aimless Li Feng gave up his studies and became a parasite, living off his inheritance.

After graduation, he never looked for a job.

He spent his days collecting rent and enjoying himself, living a comfortable life though not extravagantly rich.

Moreover, he didn't smoke, drink, gamble, or take drugs.

He just read novels and played games, with a low consumption level.

With his current assets and savings, he was already set for life.

As for a girlfriend... was it because the novels weren't interesting or the games weren't fun?

There were plenty of novels to read and new games to play; why bother with a girlfriend?

— No matter how you looked at it, he was a thoroughly contented parasite.

So, how did a man with no great ambitions end up in this situation?

"This isn't scientific!"

Li Feng closed his eyes in pain.

Just by sleeping, he had gone from a 21st-century rentier living a carefree life to an 80s teenager with a strong desire to become a police officer.

Although his family was somewhat well-off, and he would be financially secure even if he got hurt while catching thieves...

But the person in this body was Li Feng, not Li Dechang!

He didn't want to be a police officer; he just wanted to be a carefree, happy parasite.

Who would want to be a police officer in 80s Hong Kong?

In this era, the ICAC was just beginning, triads were thriving, and the police force was under British control.

Being a police officer in this era... wasn't that just asking for trouble?

What made him even more sad was that he knew, without a doubt, that the games and novels he loved would be non-existent for the next few decades...

The psychological gap was too great!

Given this, why was he still hesitating about whether to become a police officer?

Because a floating box was flashing in front of him: "Congratulations, you have met the activation conditions for the Police System. Do you want to activate it?"

Below were the words "Yes" and "No" flashing.

One white, one gray!

The white one was: Yes!

The gray one was: No!

The "No" had been white just three minutes ago...

"Damn, I just got here, and I already meet the activation conditions?"

"Wait, can this system be canceled?"

"Definitely cancel it; who the hell wants to be a police officer!"

"In this era, making money, playing the stock market, investing in real estate, and keeping celebrities as mistresses would be much more enjoyable than being a police officer..."

The ban on concubines in Hong Kong only started in 1971, but even in 1976, there were still cases of concubinage, especially among the wealthy.

In the money-driven society of Hong Kong, it was very common for the rich to have multiple mistresses.

Even those who weren't wealthy but were handsome had a chance to have two wives.

In this rare era of polygamy, you want Li Feng to become a police officer who has to maintain a public image and can only have one wife, with no girlfriends allowed?

You must have a deep misunderstanding of men.

Even in the era of gender equality, many men still want to live a carefree life.

Let alone in 80s Hong Kong.

In this era, Hong Kong was full of gold!

Countless famous and unknown beauties were waiting for him... and you're telling him to stick to one wife?

Just think about it, don't take it seriously.

No novels to read, no games to play, most movies already seen, and if there were no women... would he live just to make money?

What was the point of making money?

For the rise of the nation, for social harmony?

Undoubtedly, there were people like that in the world... but Li Feng wasn't one of them!

And he never considered himself to be one of them!

For someone who became a parasite when he had no worries about food and clothing, how could you expect him to be noble?

Li Feng excitedly clicked on the "No."

Then, the "No" turned gray!

"What the hell! Why did it turn gray? Why can't I click it!?"

Li Feng immediately panicked and frantically clicked on the "No."

No matter how he tried, the floating box remained unchanged!

It was as if it was saying, "You can click all you want, but I won't budge."

Indeed, this pop-up system was true to its nature.

(Pop-up: Go to hell, I clearly jump when clicked, who the hell can't understand that!)

"Damn, do you think I'll just accept this? No way!"

He might as well treat it as an unremovable VR projection glasses.

Li Feng coldly snorted and prepared to leave the airport to embrace his wonderful life...

After taking a few steps, he stopped: Well, he should first check what this body looked like.

Hopefully, it wasn't too ugly... if he had to get plastic surgery in this era, he might not survive the surgery!

Li Feng stopped and worriedly walked towards the restroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, he immediately calmed down when he saw his reflection.

Oh, what a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes...

His body was slim but muscular... pinching his arm, he felt the firmness.

Pressing his shoulder lightly, he could even feel the heartbeat through his shirt.

Damn, the elasticity of these pectoral muscles, he had never been able to achieve in his previous life, no matter how long he trained!

— With his sporadic training, it was no wonder he couldn't achieve it!

"Hmm, I have some of my charm."

Li Feng calmly praised himself, but his lips couldn't help but curl up.

With this face and this muscular body... Li Feng was even more confident about his future wonderful life.

There seemed to be something wrong with this, but it also seemed fine...

...

Five minutes later, Li Feng was leaning against the pillar, rubbing his forehead in pain.

If he could touch that floating box, he would have smashed it long ago!

The floating box, which had been quiet for a few minutes, started flashing again... with a beeping sound!

This was clearly forcing him to click "Yes"!

Compulsion is compulsion, but this system that pretends to have a "No" option before forcing you... it's like a prostitute pretending to be virtuous!

Damn!

I absolutely refuse!

Who knows what kind of tasks this despicable system would give him after activation!

"Dechang, Dechang!"

Just as Li Feng was seething with anger, a middle-aged man and a plump, middle-aged woman ran over.

Hmm? Why do they seem familiar?

After a quick search through his memories, Li Feng was shocked: Damn! What the hell was his predecessor thinking!
