The Eternal Club 3: The Eternal Club

As the night wore on, the rain only got heavier.

The sound of raindrops falling noisily onto the ground outside the window could be heard clearly from within the room.

Inside the room, Lu Li sat at his desk as he continued to try and understand this new superpower he had

He took a notebook out, to write down all the bits of information that were floating about inside his head.

“Regarding buying and selling time. This power apparently stems from the supernatural forces that govern the universe and allows me to conduct a transaction which is sealed by an agreement. In this transaction process, I act as the merchant.”

Lu Li scribbled these words onto the paper with his pen.

From the information he had, he discovered that regardless of whether he was buying or selling time, he needed an agreement for each transaction in order to validate it. In other words, he had to draw up a contract.

And this contract was called a Time Contract.

The details of the Time Contract were decided by Lu Li. Once both parties signed this contract, it would be recognized by the supernatural forces governing the universe. Neither party was allowed to violate the terms of the agreement, even though Lu Li would be the one offering the deal.

He turned to a new page.

In the middle of the top of the page, he wrote: Time Purchasing Contract Template.

He paused for a moment to think, and then he started down writing several lines one after the other.

Lu Li stopped there.

He studied the extremely simple Time Purchasing Contract Template that he had written in his notebook.

According to the information in his head, even though the one who drew up the contract wasn’t allowed to violate its terms and conditions, he was allowed to decide on the details.

That was why he naturally set down terms and conditions that protected himself, turning this mutual agreement into an extremely unfair contract.1

But he didn’t think such an unfair contract was going to affect his business in the future at all. After all, he was the only one who was in control of the commodity they were trading here.

He then turned to a new page in the book.

In the middle of the first line of the page, he wrote: Time Selling Contract Template.

The details of this contract were essentially the same as the Time Purchasing Contract.

Once he was satisfied with this first draft of the contracts, he turned on his laptop to type out everything and printed a huge pile of copies.

He filed everything into two separate files and kept them in his drawer.

Then he turned to a new page in his notebook again.

After pondering for a moment, he wrote down the following thoughts he had earlier:

“Defining the value of time (for purchase)”

Even though some people believed that time was fair since everyone had the same amount of time, the value that each person created with that same amount of time was entirely different.
