"Did your friend leave?"
After Peng Hao departed, Yang Zhen'er stepped out from the bedroom, her voice soft and melodious.
"Yeah."
"He had something to take care of."
Lu Li sat on the sofa, his gaze wandering over Yang Zhen'er's alluring figure. Just the thought that such a beautiful body now belonged entirely to him brought a smile to his eyes, though he quickly concealed it and replied in a calm tone.
"Oh..."
Yang Zhen'er responded obediently.
Seeing Lu Li turn his attention back to the computer and ignore her, she didn't complain. In her mind, someone of Lu Li's status must have a great deal to handle.
She walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out some fruit. After washing it clean and arranging it nicely on a plate, she brought it to Lu Li.
Not stopping there, she went to the bathroom, filled a bucket of water, grabbed a mop, and began cleaning the floor.
"Quite obedient now."
Lu Li cast a glance at her—her long hair tied up, sleeves rolled, still bearing faint aches yet diligently and meticulously mopping the floor. A subtle smirk touched his lips.
Yang Zhen'er's transformation was quite amusing.
Before, she had been picky and prideful…
Now, after everything, she had become gentle, uncomplaining, even devoted.
There was no denying it—Yang Zhen'er was an exceptionally smart woman. She was also refreshingly decisive, efficient, and composed—traits rare in most women.
…
Lu Li withdrew his gaze and turned back to his computer.
He opened a Word document and began typing up a file to be shared in the chat group.
"The Immortality Club Membership Level Advancement Requirements"
He typed this on the first line.
Back when he had first acquired his ability, Lu Li had proposed the concept of The Immortality Club having nine levels.
The initial framework had been very basic:
"Evaluated purely by monetary spending:"
lv1 members: tens of millions
lv2 members: hundreds of millions
lv3 members: billions
lv4 members: tens of billions
lv5 members: hundreds of billions
lv6 members: trillions...
Member benefits per level:
lv1: up to 1 year of lifespan
lv2: up to 3 years
lv3: up to 5 years
lv4: up to 10 years
lv5: up to 18 years
lv6: up to 26 years
(Note: The first year of lifespan obtained before becoming a member does not count; lifespan reward increases significantly from lv7 onward.)
Now, after several real-life trades and deeper contemplation about the club's future, Lu Li decided to revise the advancement criteria.
Instead of using only money as the upgrade metric, he introduced a new mechanism: points.
One point = ¥10,000
The new upgrade requirements were roughly set as:
lv1: 1,000 points
lv2: 10,000 points
lv3: 100,000 points
lv4: 1,000,000 points
lv5: 10,000,000 points
lv6: 100,000,000 points…
Most importantly, Lu Li added a crucial rule:
Only half of the required points could be obtained through monetary exchange; the other half must come from completing tasks assigned by the Club President.
With this structure, Lu Li consolidated even more power into his hands. He would be able to manage the club's members more effectively.
Later on, this could evolve into a full-fledged task system, propelling every member to work for him, and for the growth of the club itself.
After finalizing the document outlining membership levels and requirements, Lu Li upld it to the group chat.
…
About an hour later—
No. 186, Tianxi North R West City. The Guo Family Residence.
The invitation handwritten by Lu Li was delivered to Guo Zhijian.
He immediately summoned the other three key decision-makers of the Guo Family—Guo Zhixin, Guo Zhiqun, and Guo Zhikuan—for a meeting.
They gathered in a small conference room.
Old Master Guo was also wheeled in by a servant.
"Guard the door. No one is allowed to come close."
Guo Zhijian took over Old Master Guo Yanzhi's wheelchair and gave a stern order to the security guards outside the meeting room.
After closing the door, he pushed Old Master Guo further inside, his expression serious. He looked at his younger brothers and said solemnly,
"I've received an invitation from Mr. Lu..."
As his words landed, everyone in the room—Guo Family's leadership, including Guo Yanzhi—held their breath in tense silence.
Guo Zhijian took out the folded A4 paper and handed it first to Old Master Guo, then passed it around to the others.
"A young man, about twenty-three or twenty-four, delivered it."
"I've reviewed the security footage."
He added.
"The Immortality Club?"
Guo Zhikuan was the last to read the letter. Setting it down, he raised his head, a horrified expression on his face.
"I never imagined there would be a club like this."
"What kind of people are in it?"
"Could it be a hidden society operating beneath the surface of the modern world?"
"Maybe it includes ancient aristocratic families still alive today!"
"Could there even be individuals from hundreds of years ago still walking among us?!"
"The power behind this club must be terrifying..."
"We must be cautious. Recklessness could bring catastrophic consequences to the entire Guo Family!"
Guo Min'an, Guo Minsheng, Guo Minxing, Guo Minding, and Old Master Guo Yanzhi continued to speculate wildly, their imaginations racing.
Their hearts filled with growing fear and reverence for this mysterious and powerful organization.
