The night grew deeper, and the rain poured even harder.
Outside the window, the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the ground echoed nonstop...
Inside the room, Lu Li sat at his desk, continuing to study his special abilities.
He pulled out a noteand began organizing the information he had received in his mind.
"About 'Buying Time' and 'Selling Time'."
"It seems to originate from some unknown law of the universe, a transaction conducted under the witness of a contract…"
"In this transaction, I play the role of a merchant."
On the white notepaper, Lu Li held a fountain pen and wrote those words.
From the information he received, Lu Li learned that whether it was buying or selling time, he needed to prepare a certificate in advance—what would be called a "contract" in modern terms.
This contract was called a Time Contract.
The Time Contract would be drafted by Lu Li. Once both parties signed it, its contents would be witnessed by heaven and earth, and no one could violate it—not even Lu Li himself as the initiator.
Lu Li turned to a new page.
At the top center of the page, he wrote: "Time Acquisition Contract Template."
He paused, deep in thought, then began writing line by line.
Contract Number:
Party A (Time Seller):
Party B (Time Buyer):
Project Details:
After mutual agreement between both parties, the following contract terms are established:
Clause 1: This transaction must not be disclosed to any third party.
Clause 2: Party A may not investigate any information or identity of Party B by any means.
Clause 3: Party A may not engage in any behavior that harms Party B's interests.
Clause 4: Party A must not falsify personal income levels.
Clause 5: Upon signing the contract, the transaction is deemed final and cannot be withdrawn.
Clause 6: Any violation will result in a deduction of the violator's remaining "time," the severity of which depends on the offense. Serious violations will result in remaining "time" being reduced to zero.
Clause 7: Payment Method.
After both parties sign, one of the following methods may be used to complete the transaction.
Lu Li stopped writing.
He looked at the noteand the crude draft of a Time Acquisition Contract.
According to the information in his mind, while he couldn't violate the contract himself, he did have full authority to draft its contents.
Therefore, naturally, Lu Li wrote the contract entirely in his favor—it was practically a tyrannical contract.
Lu Li wasn't worried this would hurt future business. After all, he held control over the most valuable thing—time.
Lu Li turned to another new page.
On the first line at the center, he wrote: "Time Sale Contract Template."
The rest of the content closely mirrored the Acquisition Contract Template.
Once he had drafted the first version of both contracts,
Lu Li opened his laptop and printed out a stack of each contract.
...
He sorted the contracts into two folders and stored them in a drawer.
Lu Li then turned to a fresh page in his note
After thinking for a moment, he wrote at the top of the page:
"On the Valuation of Time (Acquisition)."
Although people often say that time is fair—that everyone has the same amount…
In reality, the value each person creates with their time is vastly different.
Some people make every day, every year of their lives meaningful; others, however, live dull and empty lives day after day, year after year.
So, when it comes to buying or selling, should the same price apply?
Lu Li didn't want to disrupt social order. So pricing too high—or too low—would both be problematic.
He stopped writing and pondered deeply.
A long time passed.
Then Lu Li resumed writing.
Time Acquisition Pricing (for reference):
For ordinary individuals (excluding scientists, educators, soldiers, doctors with exceptional ethics, etc.):
Those earning less than 100,000 yuan annually: purchase price is 300,000 yuan per year of time; no negotiation.
Those earning more than 100,000 yuan annually: purchase price is three times annual income; no negotiation.
Note: If the seller has other attributes that raise their time value, the purchase price may be increased.
Lu Li turned to a new page.
At the top, he wrote: "On the Valuation of Time (Sale)."
"Strict regulation of Time Sale is necessary…"
"The amount of time any one individual can buy must also be limited."
After a moment of thought, he wrote:
Time Sale Pricing (for reference):
For wealthy individuals (excluding scientists, educators, soldiers, doctors with exceptional ethics, etc.):
Those with assets over ten million yuan: price per year of time is one-fifth of their annual value creation.
Note:
1.Conditions must be met for first-time purchase.
2.Price for second-time purchase must increase, never decrease.
As he wrote this, Lu Li's pen suddenly paused.
A new idea emerged in his mind.
It was the blueprint of a massive organizational framework!
The Immortality Club!
Lu Li flipped to a fresh page and wrote this title boldly in the center of the first line.
"The club is all-encompassing, gathering the most elite individuals, professionals, and wealthy figures from all walks of life on Earth…"
"Membership should be divided into 9 levels…"
"Based purely on monetary consumption:"
"Lv1 Members: asset threshold in the tens of millions; Lv2: hundred million level; Lv3: billion level; Lv4: tens of billions; Lv5: hundreds of billions; Lv6: trillion level…"
"Lv1 Members may purchase up to 1 year of lifespan; Lv2: up to 3 years; Lv3: 5 years; Lv4: 10 years; Lv5: 18 years; Lv6: 26 years…"
Not long after, the world's most terrifying and mysterious organization began to take shape beneath Lu Li's pen.
