109: Chapter 109 A Separate Genealogy Book

...

Establishing the Bright Council was Lin Fang's next plan. Using medical methods or other technologies far beyond reality as bait, he aimed to attract families and consortiums with immense wealth and power across the globe, bringing them into his camp to reduce obstacles for the company's progress.

After all, with so many targets in the world, Lin Fang couldn't possibly run to each one and make them lick his shoes and shout for submission like Noah, that old man who feared death.

Thinking of that scene, Lin Fang shuddered; it would be much more straightforward to just finish them off.

The Council established 22 seats based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Aside from these 22 primary seats, the rest would be ordinary members. In Lin Fang's vision, the primary seat members would be distributed across key global sectors: Wall Street financial tycoons, Silicon Valley tech elites, Middle Eastern oil magnates, European old-money aristocrats... each one a prominent figure.

For this, Lin Fang specifically established a system of contribution points and promotions.

Contribution points are the currency circulating within the Council, obtainable by completing tasks posted by members. Primary seat members automatically receive 1,000 contribution points annually, while ordinary members receive only between 10 and 50 points, depending on the year's performance.

Contribution points can be exchanged with the 'Jia' seat member of the Heavenly Stems—the Council Chairman—for core resources, including but not limited to various information, medical services, combat operations, and technical data leading reality...

For example, the exchange price for one Immortality Capsule is 1,000 contribution points, while a basic intelligence service costs 500 points.

In other words, as long as one becomes a primary seat member of the Bright Council, they can exchange for one Immortality Capsule every year without extra effort. All these members have to do is protect the interests of the Third-Party Technology represented by Lin Fang and maintain the interests of the Council itself.

The more contribution points you accumulate, the more staggering the power you can experience.

Once these elites taste the sweetness of joining the Bright Council, they will become obsessed and unable to stop. By then, they will be completely bound to the Council, unable to break free. On the surface, Third-Party Technology and these powerful families will be a community of shared interests; anyone else wanting to provoke them would have to see if they are worthy.

As long as it doesn't meet an early demise, the Bright Council will only grow larger. Today there are 4 people; next time it might be 12, 24, 48... eventually weaving into an invisible network that covers the globe.

Of course, this was only the preliminary planning for the organization. Although it was falsely claimed to have a 2,000-year history, it was actually a product of last week. The rollout of various plans still required deliberation; Lin Fang had to plan for the long term.

——

And inside the room, the first session of the Bright Council in the 21st century officially convened.

In an unusual scene, the four founding members of the Bright Council were staring at their phone screens, including the Chairman at the front, who was currently declining his father's invitation to come home for dinner.

Lin Tianxiong, the coal boss, had recently been watching some melodramatic 'Real and Fake Young Master' short dramas from somewhere. He watched them every day with a melancholy face, constantly promising Lin Fang that he would never do such a thing and saying he wanted to pass the family fortune to him now.

It wasn't until Lin Fang reminded him that the current family fortune wasn't even a fraction of his own company's pocket change that he fell into a depressed silence and stopped bringing it up.

[Boss, the copyright holder of the short drama your father is watching is Third-Party Technology. A total of 1.5 million yuan was invested, and it is currently trending across the internet.]

He wouldn't have gotten the wrong idea, would he? Seeing Xiao Hei's message, Lin Fang couldn't help but be speechless. He sent another message to Xiao Hei, asking: "Have Long Yi and Long Er reached my father's side yet?"

Despite Xiao Hei's monitoring of potential dangers, Lin Fang was still a bit uneasy. Long Yi and Long Er were the first-generation Clones who had followed him back to Coastal Sea, and he had arranged for them to be responsible for Lin Tianxiong's safety.

In the relatively stable domestic environment, these two Clones, whose physical fitness was several times that of an average person, were more than enough.

[Yes. Under secret arrangements, they have respectively been hired as your father's bodyguard and driver.]

Another reason was that Lin Fang had once been curious why his family tree was so clean, with not a single relative listed—only his and Lin Tianxiong's names. The latter's answer was that they had all accidentally died off, so he started a new book himself.

Tsk... a bit tragic. So, to avoid the genealogy book ending with just himself, these measures had to be taken.

Having finished this, Lin Fang turned his gaze to the other three in the room. They were still logged into the Council members' exclusive 'Bright' app, checking the information on it.

Despite their best efforts to remain composed, their heavy breathing betrayed their inner feelings.

"Is this... real?"

Noah looked at the 'Life Level Enhancement' project data displayed on the screen. As one of the shrewdest investors of the old era, he had seen countless business scams, but the rigorous clinical trial data and shocking effects in the document before him forced him to believe—this was real!

The data showed that after undergoing Life Level Enhancement treatment, not only could all known diseases be cured, but one's lifespan could also be extended by more than 50 years, and physical fitness would be significantly improved...

Seeing a strong physique comparable to half a Captain America, Noah's throat went dry, and he was deeply moved. This was exactly what he needed. But after seeing the high price tag of 30,000 contribution points, Noah felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar; he would have preferred the price to be 3 billion USD.

While the old man was counting on his fingers how many years he would have to save up, another person had also finished browsing the information he wanted.

Salifu's gaze was obscure. He thought of something he deeply regretted; perhaps he could use it to test the power behind the Council.

"Mr. Chairman, can any piece of intelligence really be obtained? I want to purchase a piece of information."

"The Council knows more than you imagine."

Lin Fang explained, "But the price of intelligence depends on its value. Once completed, the contribution points will be automatically deducted from your account."

"It's like this: I want to know who harmed my wife. I can provide..."

Thud!

Before Salifu could even finish his sentence, the phone in front of him received an encrypted file and a notification for the deduction of 500 contribution points.

Upon realizing what had happened, Salifu's expression was one of horror.

"This file can only be opened by you personally. If you are unsatisfied with the result, you have one opportunity to appeal to the Council."

"Understood."

Suppressing his shock, Salifu saw the prompt for successful identity verification and decisively opened the folder.

It only took a few minutes.

After seeing the contents of the file, Salifu was first in disbelief, then his breathing became rapid, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his entire face twisted and deformed from extreme rage.

"As the first transaction, I can also give you a bonus piece of information."

Lin Fang showed an expression of regret: "Because he received news of your recovery from your serious illness, your brother Frei has secretly teamed up with your capable subordinate Eiffel, preparing to launch an attack and seize control of the family when you return."
