Guo Yanzhi immediately clicked to downlthe file as soon as he saw it.
Once the file was downld, it was promptly deleted from the group files...
That might explain why the only file still remaining in the group was "Requirements for Advancing Membership Levels in The Immortality Club."
Guo Yanzhi and the four core members of the Guo Family all focused intently on the freshly downld newbie task file.
The first line on the page was the title: Newbie Task File for Member No. 129
Then came the task description:
"Recently, The Immortality Club has plans to establish a branch in Zhonghai. You are required to provide a venue for the club…"
"Venue requirements: 1. The environment must be relatively quiet and located in the central district of Zhonghai, with a strong academic atmosphere; 2. The building area should be between 2,500 to 3,000 square meters; 3. …; 4. …; 5. …"
"Newbie Task Reward: 500 points."
A pair of eyes carefully read through every sentence, meticulously weighing and analyzing each phrase.
"No wonder Senior No. 02 said this newbie task was a welfare mission—it's really not that difficult," Guo Minding said seriously.
For ordinary people, this might be a nearly impossible task.
But for the Guo Family, who had accumulated over a century of power and assets in Zhonghai, this was nothing at all.
"Since it's not difficult, then we must execute it to perfection!" Guo Min'an said with determination.
He walked over to the conference room door, opened it, and looked solemnly at the butler waiting outside.
"Tell them I need the most detailed satellite map of Zhonghai, immediately."
At that moment—
Guo Yanzhi replied in the group chat:
"Understood. I will do my utmost to complete the task as soon as possible!"
…
In a small rental apartment—
Lu Li saw Member No. 129's reply in the group chat and nodded with satisfaction.
With that, the first major hurdle in building The Immortality Club had been cleared. Now, all he had to do was wait for the Guo Family to enthusiastically deliver the location.
Although, at the moment, this group only had one living member besides himself—Old Master Guo of the Guo Family—eventually, once he recruited more members and added them into the group, there would be more and more living people.
Then it would become a true "Longevity Club" chat group.
When the time came, he would launch The Immortality Club APP, and everything would unfold smoothly without anyone suspecting a thing.
No one would ever imagine that such a massive organization had begun from such humble origins.
Sitting in front of his computer, Lu Li grinned at the thought.
Right now, to Lu Li, even money, power, and the dream of immortality couldn't compare to the thrill of building an enormous organization from the ground up.
Just as he was immersed in these thoughts…
His phone vibrated continuously—someone was messaging his personal WeChat.
He smiled and picked it up to check.
It was from a four-person group chat titled "Asia-Pacific Visual Elite Squad," which was the internal work group from his office.
Team leader Brother Li had sent a message:
"Xiao Li, did you get the job done? Don't forget to come to work tomorrow…"
Next was Liu Yang, a close friend from the company:
"Lu Li, come back already!"
"We've got a ton of new tasks, and we've been working overtime for three straight days. Our hairlines are dying!"
Then came Xia Juhuan, the only girl in the group:
"Did Lu Li go on a blind date these past few days? Teehee…"
As Lu Li read the group chat, a wave of strange emotion surged through his heart.
For a moment, he felt dazed...
He realized that, somehow, he now felt like he and those people were living in two completely different worlds.
Watching the continuous chatter in the group "Asia-Pacific Visual Elite Squad," Lu Li pressed his lips together, feeling an unexpected sense of reluctance.
Memories of past camaraderie with his teammates flashed before his eyes.
These friendships snapped him out of the divine, all-controlling mentality he'd just been indulging in.
After a long time—
Lu Li took a deep breath, regaining his rationality.
He understood that it was no longer possible for him to return to his old life. More importantly… he no longer wanted to go back.
He held his phone, typing in the group chat:
"Sorry, everyone. I've decided to resign… I'll come by the office tomorrow to complete the paperwork."
With Lu Li's current capabilities, he could have easily disappeared without a word and faced no consequences.
But he still wanted to personally bring closure to this part of his life.
His thumb trembled slightly—but then he pressed "Send."
Once the message was sent…
The previously lively group chat instantly fell silent.
After a long pause—
Brother Li was the first to respond:
"You've made up your mind?"
"I have," Lu Li replied.
"Lu Li is leaving too, huh… I don't know how much longer I can hold on myself."
Liu Yang chimed in.
"Crying emoji.jpg. Wishing Lu Li a bright future!"
Xia Juhuan messaged.
No one asked why Lu Li was resigning. Because in recent years, this kind of thing happened all too often.
With the soaring housing prices in the city, many saw no future.
Programmers, especially, were racing against time, relying on youth and stamina.
When they couldn't hold out any longer—they left.
"That said… let's have dinner together after work tomorrow."
Brother Li sent another message.
Lu Li looked at the responses from his colleagues and realized they had misunderstood. He chuckled.
He would let them know tomorrow—he wasn't actually planning to leave Zhonghai.
