Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

After shifting the blame, Li Zhi continued in a high-pitched voice:

"We need to find the remaining two Emerald Hearts quickly! We don't want them to have been used by someone else!"

These words served as a reminder to the trial participants present.

The trial participants, who had been disoriented by the disappearance of the Emerald Heart icon, suddenly had a new goal and all rushed toward the nearest Emerald Heart.

Li Zhi smoothly integrated into the main group, occupying a position that was neither too far forward nor too far back, and quietly observed the other races.

The fox clan remained huddled together, keeping a position at the back, as if they were ready to flee at any moment.

The werewolves also form a team, but they occupy the front of the group, seemingly determined to obtain the Emerald Heart.

Tigers are mostly solitary creatures, agile and strong, and most races will avoid them when they pass by.

The eagle-clan orcs, whom we had never seen before, were moving at a pace similar to that of the wolf and tiger clans in the sky.

It didn't seem like it was to clear a path, but rather to monitor the two strong competitors below.

There were also humans who, like her, quietly blended into the group.

There are three in total.

One of them was in the middle of the group, just like her, while the other two were lagging behind and were clearly struggling to keep up. One of them was already showing signs of not being able to catch up.

Li Zhi withdrew his gaze and mingled with the group. Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the location of the second Emerald Heart icon.

This area is a combination of lakes, swamps, and forests.

The test-takers are in the sky, in the trees, on the ground, and in the water.

Their common target was only one thing: the nearly 3-meter-tall white bear beastman who was trapped in the very center.

The white bear orc seemed oblivious to the dangerous atmosphere around him.

His thick fingers curled up, forming a delicate, orchid-like shape, pinching the small jade heart as he examined it and muttered, "How exactly do you use this thing?"

She didn't care at all when new trial participants appeared, and even used the Jade Heart to pick her teeth.

The wolf-like orcs exchanged glances and slowly retreated to the middle of the group.

The tiger-like orcs also showed a hint of apprehension in their eyes.

Only Li Zhi was a little angry.

What is she doing to her Emerald Heart?

But the fact that none of the fifty or sixty people in the air, on land, or in the water dared to make a move proves the strength of this white bear beastman.

Li Zhi made a quick decision, slowly circling around to a position closer to the white bear orc, and activated the one-time talent mark.

She accurately placed the mark on the emerald heart that the white bear orc was using to scratch his head, and then walked away without looking back.

She feared that if she looked any longer, her possessiveness would vanish, and she would instead develop a resistance to the jade heart.

How disgusting!

Who knows what she'll do with that jade heart!

Moreover, the white bear orcs are too powerful, and there are too many people here.

Neither a direct confrontation nor a stealthy attempt to steal is very realistic.

I'll leave a mark and check on the other jade heart first, then consider everything else.

Li Zhi was not the only one who left.

The fox clan moved even faster than her.

A few tree-men wandered over here, and upon seeing the white bear orcs, they quickly turned away.

The trial participants who had been locked in a stalemate also began to leave one after another.

This gave Li Zhi a new understanding of the combat power of the white bear orcs.

Like many others, she set her sights on the last Emerald Heart.

Li Zhi rejoined the main group once again.

About half an hour later, Li Zhi arrived at the outer perimeter of the training ground.

The trial grounds are a withered ancient tree.

Its heartwood was completely hollow, and its bark stood out unevenly, each vein radiating a unique gray-gold light.

These lights reflected in the swamp and sky, transforming into solid arenas of varying heights.

The owner of the third Emerald Heart is on one of the arenas.

It's a human!

While Li Zhi was surprised, he couldn't help but feel happy for him.

The more powerful the human race becomes, the brighter the future of humanity will be.

She was pessimistic about the results of the centennial assessment of humanity.

But deep down, they undoubtedly hope that humanity will receive the highest possible rating.

As a merchant who needs to navigate between different races, having a racial background that doesn't hold her back can help her avoid many troubles and difficulties.

If humans could obtain a higher racial rank, it would make her business more efficient in the future.

"If you want the Emerald Heart, then come to the arena and defeat me."

The person on the arena looked down at the eagerly awaiting trial participants below, their tone extremely arrogant:

"But read the challenge rules carefully: it costs 10 silver coins per round, and if you lose, you have to give me another 20 silver coins."

The top three finishers in the trial grounds can set a challenge rule, and only those who meet the rule can initiate a challenge.

Conversely, if the top three in the trial field want to challenge any other trial participant outside the top three, that participant cannot refuse; otherwise, they will be permanently barred from entering that trial area again.

A complete jungle law.

The strong take all, and the weak can only obey.

It perfectly conforms to the rules of the Apocalypse Continent.

Moreover, this person is also very clever; 10 silver is not a small amount for most D-rank races.

In addition, you have to pay 20 silver coins if you lose.

That's 30 silver coins for a round trip.

Most challengers would consider her choice carefully, allowing her more time to rest.

You can earn money and have a good balance between work and rest.

A completely positive cycle.

While agreeing inwardly, Li Zhi glanced at the virtual screen below the arena, which she had noticed earlier.

The text symbols on the screen scroll.

But Li Zhi didn't recognize a single word.

Just as she was pondering whether to strike up a conversation and ask the wolf clan woman next to her to translate, the scrolling text finally turned into the Great Xia language.

Seventh Trial Grounds, Second Arena

The defending champion: Call me Feng Aotian

Points: 8218

rule:

1. Initiate a challenge by paying 10 silver coins.

2. Losing the challenge costs 20 silver coins.

Li Zhi's expression was indescribable.

She should have guessed it.

A week ago, I bought information about the seventh trial area from her. When I checked the leaderboard before, I was ranked second on the points leaderboard.

It's perfectly reasonable for her to be guarding the second ring now.

only……

She managed to defend her title while also snatching the Emerald Heart; it seems my strength is even greater than she imagined.

As Li Zhigang was thinking this, he heard the fox-clan beastman next to him say indignantly, "How come she's so lucky! The Emerald Heart just fell into her hands! Why don't I have such good luck!"

Li Zhi: ? ? ?

She suddenly looked up.

Seeing Feng Aotian standing there with his hands on his hips, I instantly felt extremely displeased.

No!

Why should I?

One lucky person is one thing.

Why is it that I, Feng Aotian, am luckier than her, who used the word "lucky"?

Is there no justice left in this world?!

Surely she can't be so unlucky that even with the "Lucky" buff, her luck stat is lower than others who don't use it?
