49: Chapter 49: It's just buying a little more lifespan.
"invitation code?!"
Zhou Wanshan was completely stunned.
He instinctively rubbed his eyes.
Suspecting he had misread it.
But on the page, it was still lying there quietly.
[Current available invitation codes: 3]
It's real!
And there are even three of them!
Liu Yong, who was beside him, had sharp eyes. Although he didn't see the specific details, he saw the three words "invitation code" clearly.
His eyes lit up instantly, shining like searchlights.
"Holy crap!"
"Old Zhou! How do you have an invitation code too?!"
His voice even cracked.
He lunged straight toward the office desk, looking like someone who had been starving for three days suddenly seeing a full Manchu-Han banquet.
Zhou Wanshan was completely bewildered at this moment.
"How would I know?"
"I checked yesterday, and there wasn't one."
Liu Yong's breathing became increasingly rapid.
There was one thing he hadn't mentioned, fearing he would be laughed at if he said it.
After going back yesterday, he became a bit obsessed.
In order to get an invitation code, he had been scammed out of 2999 yuan under a certain post by someone who spoke very persuasively.
When he said he would call the police, the other party even called him an idiot.
Saying they couldn't file a case for less than 3000 yuan.
Then he was blocked.
So, in a fit of anger, he... just got angry, and didn't call the police.
After all, as a dignified entrepreneur, he couldn't afford to lose face like that.
But who would have thought, there would be a ray of hope!
He turned around and saw it right here with Zhou Wanshan!
Just then, the office door was pushed open again.
Zhou Zihao walked in, carrying a stack of documents.
"Dad, the sales department..."
Halfway through his sentence, Zhou Zihao suddenly realized the atmosphere wasn't right.
Liu Yong's eyes were glowing, and his father had a strange expression.
Both of them were staring intently at a mobile phone.
Zhou Zihao looked confused. "What are you two doing?"
Liu Yong immediately gestured excitedly, "An invitation code! Your dad has an invitation code for the lifespan treasure. You really hit the jackpot, kid!"
Zhou Zihao was stunned at first, and then his eyes almost popped out.
"For real?!"
He rushed over in one stride, sticking his head directly in front of the phone.
When he saw those three invitation codes, he was so excited he almost jumped up. "Dad! I'm your biological son!"
"You can't favor outsiders over me, right?"
As he spoke, he put on a pitiful expression.
As if he would cry right there on the spot if Zhou Wanshan didn't give him one today.
Standing nearly 1.8 meters tall, this look was truly hard to watch.
Liu Yong was immediately displeased. "What do you mean 'favor outsiders'? Is your Uncle Liu an outsider? How many years have our two families been working together?"
Zhou Zihao immediately shook his head. "Business is business! Can an invitation code be the same? This is the lifespan treasure! Something that can extend your lifespan!"
Seeing the two of them acting like fighting cocks, Zhou Wanshan shook his head with a smile.
"Alright, alright, both of you, say less."
After speaking, he looked at the two of them, then looked down at his phone.
"What are you fighting for? Aren't there three?"
"There's even one left over."
As soon as he said this, both were overjoyed.
"Dad! You're the best!"
"Old Zhou! You're a real friend!"
Zhou Wanshan scolded them with a smile, "Look at you two, so pathetic."
Then he clicked on the invitation code page, copied them, and sent them separately.
A few seconds later, both of their phones vibrated simultaneously.
[You have received a message.]
Got it!
Zhou Zihao was so excited his hands were shaking a little.
Liu Yong immediately copied it to the app store to download it.
The entire office gradually quieted down.
The three of them stared at their phones.
A few seconds later.
Liu Yong's screen was the first to show the installation was complete.
Without the slightest hesitation, he clicked to enter.
Black background with gold patterns, a golden hourglass slowly rotating.
Shortly after, a prompt appeared.
[Authenticating identity...]
[Authentication successful.]
[Welcome, User: Liu Yong.]
The page slowly expanded, and his personal information appeared.
[Name: Liu Yong]
[Age: 52]
[Assets: 72,437,281.53 yuan]
[Lifespan Rating: A]
[Health Status: Good]
[Remaining Lifespan: 17 years and 6 months]
Liu Yong stared at the screen, stunned for a moment.
Then, he couldn't help but laugh up at the sky.
"Good!"
"Great!"
"I still have nearly eighteen years to live!"
"That means I can live to be... sixty-nine?!"
This age is already considered a fairly long life.
And it also showed that his health status was good!
Not bad!
Very good!
Zhou Wanshan, who was beside him, also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all.
No one wants to see their friends have any misfortune.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Zhou Zihao had also completed the authentication.
[Authentication successful.]
[Welcome, User: Zhou Zihao.]
The information page popped up as well.
[Name: Zhou Zihao]
[Age: 23]
[Assets: 1,437,281.53 yuan]
[Lifespan Rating: A-]
[Health Status: Good]
[Remaining Lifespan: 32 years]
"Hehe! Mine is even more!"
"It shows I have thirty-two years of life left to live!"
Zhou Zihao was overjoyed. However, not long after, the smile on his face instantly froze the next second.
"Wait!"
"I'm only twenty-three right now."
"Twenty-three plus thirty-two... five... fifty-five?"
"What does this mean?"
"I can only live to fifty-five?!"
By the end, Zhou Zihao was feeling terrible.
This shouldn't be right!
He didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't stay up late, and went to bed early and rose early!
His annual physicals were always normal; how could he only live to fifty-five?
Zhou Wanshan leaned over to take a look.
His expression was also a bit strange.
A lifespan of fifty-five years is indeed not long.
But on second thought, it didn't seem unacceptable.
After all, it showed that there were no problems with his body.
Most likely congenital factors?
Or would an accident happen at some point in the future?
Who knows?
Zhou Wanshan patted his son on the shoulder.
"Why think so much?"
"Can't the lifespan treasure buy lifespan?"
"Yours only costs one million per year."
"Just earn money and buy it later."
Hearing this, the expression on Zhou Zihao's face froze slightly.
Thinking about it carefully, that seemed to make sense, right?
When others are about to die, they really can only wait for death.
And he, not only could see his lifespan limit, but could also extend it!
Put that way, was his lifespan just a little bit short?
Thinking about it, Zhou Zihao's mood immediately felt much better.
It's just that in his heart, he was still a bit bothered.
After all, he was only twenty-three!
Suddenly finding out he could only live to fifty-five.
Who could be happy about that?
Fortunately, the problem didn't seem to be that big.
Subsequently, the three began to continue studying the lifespan treasure.
Soon, Liu Yong also discovered the transaction log.
Clicking in to see it, he was immediately stunned.
"Old Zhou!"
"Look at this!"
The few of them immediately gathered around.
Then they widened their eyes at the same time.
[Number of users who have completed transactions: 153]
A short line of text, yet it plunged the office into dead silence.
One hundred and fifty-three?
The whole country...
No, no!
It's seven or eight billion people globally!
Only a hundred or so users have completed transactions on this?
The few of them swallowed, all realizing something.
That's right!
This lifespan treasure, after all, only appeared in the last few days.
Less than two hundred users is actually quite normal.
If that's really the case...
Then the value of the invitation code.
Is probably even more terrifying than they imagined!
Liu Yong's scalp tingled instantly.
Only a hundred people in the whole world have this software?
And he, he was already in?!
What does this mean?
It means he seems to have stood at the forefront of the era!
Thinking of this, Liu Yong looked at Zhou Wanshan, his eyes changing.
"Old Zhou, I won't say anything else."
"Great kindness needs no thanks!"
"I'm increasing the order!"
"I must increase it!"
"Eight million is just the first batch!"
"I will add another ten million later!"
"When you have it arranged on your end, I'll transfer the funds in batches!"
Zhou Wanshan was immediately happy. "Glad to see you still have some conscience."
As the group was talking.
Suddenly!
The office door was knocked on.
The secretary walked in quickly.
"President Zhou."
"There are a few police officers outside."
"They said they want to ask you about some situation."
Zhou Wanshan was slightly stunned. "Police? Did they say what it was about?"
The secretary shook his head. "They didn't say, just said it was a routine investigation."
Zhou Wanshan instinctively looked at Liu Yong and Zhou Zihao.
Both of them were equally confused, completely out of the loop.
A few seconds later, Zhou Wanshan waved his hand.
"Please let them in."
He wasn't panicked at all.
After all, a clear conscience fears no knock on the door.
He hadn't done anything illegal or against the rules.
He had only bought a little bit of lifespan.
Wait!
Bought... lifespan?!
It couldn't be because of this, right?
Beside him, Liu Yong saw this and stood up. "Since there are guests, I'll head out first. Let's get together tonight and talk then."
The police were here; it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay.
As Liu Yong spoke, he turned and walked toward the door.
As it happened, just as he reached the door.
The office door was pushed open, and several police officers walked in.
Leading them was Officer Xiao Jiang.
The two sides immediately bumped into each other head-on.
Liu Yong nodded to them in greeting.
They also nodded, preparing to go in.
But the next second, Xiao Jiang's gaze suddenly swept to the phone screen in Liu Yong's hand, which was glaringly displaying a familiar interface!
The lifespan treasure!
Immediately, Xiao Jiang's footsteps stopped, and he raised his hand to block him.
"Comrade, please stay!"
