The Eternal Club 4: Speed Up Time

It was very late at night now.

But Lu Li’s eyes were glowing with excitement. The more he thought about the future and potential of what this club of his would look like, the more fired up he felt inside.

His ambitious heart grew at a rapid pace like wild grass on a field.

Such premium clubs did exist in this world. These clubs brought together the most famous, and elite members of society and sometimes even included royalty. It was the epitome of power and status, an assembly of the rich and famous… and membership alone was a status of their wealth and their position in society!

There were private sailing clubs like the one started by the Latsis family, one of the richest families in Greece. That club only provided 100 total memberships and was known as a club for the super-rich.

And there were also clubs like the Skull and Bones Order in Yale University. Admission into the order was shrouded in secrecy and they are said to have held scheduled religious rituals.

Famous alumni of the Order included three US presidents and two Supreme Court Justices, so it was known as one of the most mysterious yet powerful undergraduate societies in the US.1

There was also the Augusta National Golf Club and the Hong Kong Jockey Club. These were also clubs for the super-rich and the elites of the world.

Every luxury club possessed tremendous power and potential.

But once the club that Lu Li had conceptualized became reality, then all these premium clubs were going to be as good as trash!

The Eternal Club was going to rise above everything else.

“The only President of the Eternal Club shall be its founder, Lu Li. He shall be revered and given utmost authority…”

Lu Li smiled as he continued scribbling in his notebook.

“Lu Li shall be the sole decision maker in every aspect of the club. He has the right to lead and instruct all members according to his own will.”

Any instructions given in Lu Li’s name would be as good as an instruction from God himself, so objections or resistance to any instructions would not be permitted.

In short, Lu Li was this club’s king and God. He had the final say in everything.

“There shall be a board of directors that reports to the President. The board will have a total of 12 members, including one Chairman, one Vice-Chairman and 10 members…I will also need one Secretary…”

Lu Li wrote down the entire organizational chart of the club in one shot.

A red glow was already on the horizon outside. The heavy rains had stopped without Lu Li realizing it.

Lu Li, who had finally finished writing, looked through his notebook, then closed it.

Making this huge club a reality was going to become the bulk of Lu Li’s work for a while to come.

He kept the notebook away in his drawer.

For now, Lu Li was going to try out the remaining two modes of his power, which were speeding up and slowing down time.

Since he hadn’t started buying time from others, using these two modes was going to consume his own life.

But then again, time which concerned his life wasn’t something Lu Li would have to worry about ever again.

The first thing he did was to check his own stats.

He did a quick calculation and realized that even without this superpower, he would have lived until he was 95 years old.

This number did surprise him, because Lu Li worked as a programmer. Pulling all-nighters was a norm and there were many people who literally died from overwork in his field.

“Not bad! Even without this superpower, I would still outlast all the other programmers, huh,” muttered Lu Li.

After that, he turned his attention back to testing one of the modes out.

“Let’s try speeding up time first,” murmured Lu Li as he relaxed in his chair.
