Chapter 21 Subduing(1/2)
"time?"
Huo Zhun stopped, looking disbelief.
"Yes, it's time. Your disease cannot be cured, but what if its arrival is far away?"
Jiang Chen looked mysterious.
"I said, I am a time businessman who walks in the world. I buy from some people who are willing to sell their own lifespan, and at the same time resell their lifespan to other people who have needs and can afford it."
"How is that possible?"
Although Huo Zhun is a computer genius, Jiang Chen's words obviously have exceeded his understanding.
"Don't forget how I saved you." Jiang Chen reminded him when Huo Zhun still didn't believe it.
Huo Zhun remembered the scene where the world was frozen just now, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.
He remembered the reason why he chose to come here, not just because of the tension between the two parties.
Deep in his heart, listening to his parents telling various myths and stories in his childhood made him feel that his parents' Eastern hometown was full of mystery. Compared with the Western God, deep in his heart, he felt that this land in the East would bring him miracles.
Of course, he always knew that this was just his fantasy.
But today, the behavior of the mysterious man in front of him reminded him of his inner fantasies.
He swallowed his throat and asked hesitantly:
"Are you saying true?"
Seeing Huo Zhun's appearance, Jiang Chen knew that he had believed most of the time and smiled slightly.
"If Mr. Huo doesn't believe it yet, I have a way. I wonder if Mr. Huo is willing to try it?"
"What method?" Huo Zhun asked hurriedly.
"Mr. Huo's remaining life span is about five years. If you believe me, I can take your life span for two years first."
"Then, I'll give it back to you."
"The purpose of doing this is to let Huo experience it first."
Jiang Chen made a proposal to Huo Zhun.
Huo Zhun hesitated for a while and gritted his teeth to agree.
"Then, the contract is reached." Jiang Chen said softly.
Huo Zhun felt a mysterious force covering his whole body, and he felt something had been pulled away from his body.
Only the muscles of Huo Zhun's legs were seen shrinking at a visible speed, and one hand began to become stiff and thin.
Obviously, the detachment of time caused Huo Zhun to immediately worsen his condition.
The paralysis of his legs made him slump on the chair, and Huo Zhun watched his body strangely. He immediately shouted to Jiang Chen in horror:
"No, no, no, save me!"
When time was drawn, Jiang Chen opened up the time field, and the strangeness in the teahouse was not discovered.
Seeing Huo Zhun like this, Jiang Chen knew that his goal had been achieved. He snapped his fingers and returned to Huo Zhun's body when he was just extracted.
The body, which was shriveled due to illness, became fuller in an instant. The pain just came like a tide, but now it faded away immediately.
Huo Zhun touched his body in surprise and gasped in big breath to calm himself down. He now believed that what Jiang Chen said was true.
"Time is my means."
Looking at Huo Zhun's embarrassing look, Jiang Chen said slowly.
"I... what should I do?" Huo Zhun asked anxiously after calming down.
"Very good, Mr. Huo. Do you know why I came to you?"
Seeing that the matter finally came to the point, Jiang Chen was very satisfied.
"The reason is very simple, that is, join us."
"Join you?" Jiang Chen's words made Huo Zhun feel a little sudden. "Who are you...?"
"Grow, live, will."
Jiang Chen paused word by word.
“We are an active part of the calendar
The organization behind the Stage of History.”
"The person who founded the Eternal Life Association is the world's number one time businessman..." Jiang Chen brought out the remarks he had convinced Wei Donglai.
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Huo Zhun's breathing that had just calmed down became rapid again.
As a genius, he naturally heard that there are many mysterious organizations in the world, and the energy of those organizations is very huge and can even affect the operation of the world behind it.
But he didn't expect that one day he could see or even join such an organization!
"For... why, why is it me?" Huo Zhun asked with difficulty.
"Because of your talent, Mr. Huo, the organization hopes that your talent will be used by us."
"So, Mr. Huo, what about your answer?"
Jiang Chen deliberately lowered his voice and pretended to be profound.
"I do!" Huo Zhun did not hesitate at all.
"Ding! The initial mission has been completed!"
The familiar reminder sound from the system came to his ears, and Jiang Chen smiled, and he had already got the result he wanted.
"Very good, so from today on, you will be a member of the 18796th National Congress, and the president is me. Currently you are still a first-level member, and your only benefit is to have the discount on purchasing life. Life can be purchased or used as a reward for serving the organization. The highest membership level... is level 8."
These words caused a storm in Huo Zhun's heart.
The president who looked very young in front of him was almost like a god in his heart.
"As members of the Eternal Life Association, it is necessary for each other to help each other, and at the same time, to restrain each other and keep secrets. Do you understand?" Jiang Chen added.
Huo Zhun nodded immediately. He was a smart person and understood the importance of keeping confidentiality for such an organization.
"Then, as a meeting gift for joining the organization, Mr. Huo, I will give you a year." The experience of a businessman in his previous life made Jiang Chen know how to capture people's hearts.
After a year of gain, Huo Zhun felt the stiffness and paralysis of his left leg gradually disappear. Looking at the fanaticism and excitement in Huo Zhun's eyes, Jiang Chen just smiled.
"It's time to leave."
After leaving the teahouse with Huo Zhun, Jiang Chen was about to leave by himself when he saw the two agents who had been thrown away before walking towards him.
This is really a trouble.
Jiang Chen thought helplessly. He immediately turned around and left with Huo Zhun, and walked to a secluded place. Jiang Chen patted his backpack and a small electronic component fell to the ground.
"Tracker! When?" Huo Zhun immediately recognized what it was.
Jiang Chen didn't say much, and the two agents had already followed him. The person who came was not good, so Jiang Chen did not hesitate.
“Time accelerates.”
...
At night, two agents found themselves tied up and left in this secluded and deserted place.
After slapping off a lot of kung fu, the two looked at each other, knowing that the matter was beyond their control and did not continue the task. Instead, they decided to go back to report the matter and wait for instructions from the headquarters.
...
After being separated from Huo Zhun, Jiang Chen put away the masterly style on his face. He was not in a hurry to let Huo Zhun realize his previous thoughts.
Because, compared with these long-term arrangements, Jiang Chen is more concerned about the rewards of the system's initial tasks at this moment.
He walked to a path with few pedestrians, forced himself to press his inner excitement, and clicked on the system's task interface:
Initial mission: absorb Huo Zhun to join the Immortal Association
Task status: Completed
Is task settlement conducted? Yes/No
Jiang Chen directly pointed "Yes".
"Ding! The initial task is completed, the system progress has increased: 5% and the task reward is random, and the payment has been made."
After a moment, the system prompt sounded in my ears again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new features: in the beginning
Observation between the two!”
Time observation?
Jiang Chen was a little curious about the new functions. He immediately exited the task interface and clicked into the function interface to view it.
Sure enough, the interface of the original four options now has a fifth option: time observation (primary).
Jiang Chen was curious and went in to check the instructions.
