Chapter 7 (2/2)

“So, exchanging one year of my life for $300,000 is probably really worth it.”

“Besides…with this $300,000, I can buy even more things for Qingqing. She really liked that bag we saw the last time.”

“Working is the same as exchanging time for money anyway…”

Zheng Bowen kept trying to convince himself that this was a good deal.

His expression changed as he weighed the pros and cons in his head. A short while later, he grit his teeth and grabbed hold of the pen Lu Li had placed in front of him, and then signed his name in the field left blank for Party A.

Lu Li’s smile widened.

Time was still passing very slowly for the world around the two of them, as if they were still on pause.

Lu Li took the folder back from Zheng Bowen, scanned it once again to make sure everything was good to go, and then signed his own name in the field for Party B.

The moment he signed the contract, the contract took effect. It was now acknowledged by the forces that governed the universe!

“So…all of this is yours now.”

Lu Li took the black bag containing $300,000 that was next to him and threw it at Zheng Bowen.

Zheng Bowen’s breathing began to quicken as he caught the bag and opened it immediately. Stacks and stacks of bills appeared before his eyes.

Lu Li suddenly reached out as if to grab something from in front of Zheng Bowen’s face.

It was as if he had caught something.

But the only thing anyone could possibly see was how Zheng Bowen suddenly shivered and how a single strand of hair from his fringe instantly turned from black to white.

Lu Li himself now had an increase of one year to his lifespan, or 365 days.

“You can contact me at this number. If you want to make another transaction with me, you can give me a call.”

Lu Li left Zheng Bowen with the number of the new SIM card he had bought earlier.

Once the entire transaction was complete, Lu Li raised his hand and as if nothing had happened, both their table, and the rest of the world was back in sync with each other.

While 30 odd minutes of their time in the 100X speed had passed, only 18 seconds had passed in the real world.

“I’m off, bye.”

Lu Li got up and nodded slightly at Zheng Bowen, who was still in a daze.

Then he sauntered out of the noodle shop.

Zheng Bowen looked at Lu Li’s back as he walked away and felt that Lu Li was truly a mysterious character. It was as if Lu Li was walking through the river of time and going further and further away from him.
