Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The fox clan on the left were whispering amongst themselves, discussing whether or not to go up and challenge me, Feng Aotian.

The hyena clan that had just caught up was also scrambling to scrape together money.

Li Zhi's chest heaved, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Without blinking, he pulled out 10 silver coins, was enveloped in a beam of light, and was teleported to the second arena.

Call Me Phoenix Aotian: "Human?"

She frowned: "Let me make it clear beforehand, I won't show any mercy to my fellow countrymen."

Li Zhi pointed to the ground: "Does this arena have to be broadcast live? Can you turn off the sound or something?"

Feng Aotian looked at her suspiciously: "What?"

Li Zhi: "I have a business deal to discuss with you."

Under the disdainful gaze of "Call Me Feng Aotian," Li Zhi slowly parted his lips, revealing eight perfect teeth: "A deal for 100 gold coins."

Call me Feng Aotian and I will stand up straight instantly.

"You can turn it off. I'll adjust the settings. Please wait a moment."

She pointed with her finger.

The solid golden light beneath their feet instantly became illusory again.

—and transparency.

Li Zhi glanced at it casually, and his legs almost went weak.

Before, when she flew, she always focused on looking ahead and didn't dare to glance at the ground. Except for the time when she was trying to steal the Emerald Heart, when she mustered up the courage to fly a little higher, she never dared to fly more than 10 meters high!

The ground suddenly became transparent without warning, and Li Zhi almost hallucinated that he had fallen straight down.

Fortunately, the transparency only lasted for a moment, and then it spread upwards, transforming into a birdcage-like structure that completely blocked out the top, bottom, left, and right sides.

Li Zhi coughed, pretending nothing had happened, and stood firmly on his feet.

Feng Aotian, oblivious to anything amiss, said reservedly, "You can proceed with the 100 gold coin deal."

Li Zhi cut to the chase: "Give me your Jade Heart, and I'll give you 100 gold coins."

Feng Aotian frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Zhi.

"You have no way to activate this Emerald Heart. Holding it in your hand will not only render it useless, but you will also constantly face harassment and pursuit."

"I won't go into how important early development is, as everyone has been through the beginner phase."

"What I want to tell you is what you can do with 100 gold coins."

"10 gold is enough to upgrade your airship to a spaceship. If you want to upgrade to a higher-level spaceship, 20 gold is enough. You can use the remaining 80 gold to invest in yourself."

"Dongqi has many markets and trading areas. In these markets and trading areas, you can buy a very good weapon for 10 gold coins. If you want weapons and equipment with attribute points, 80 gold coins is enough to buy a set. You can use the rest to buy props, food and supplies you need."

"These weapons, equipment, and supplies will increase your attributes by at least 50%."

"Feng Aotian, you're second in the seventh trial area, but are you really only capable of second place?"

Li Zhi spoke gently, as if analyzing the situation from her perspective, yet also as if enticing her: "I saw that first-place winner named Hena. Her shoes, clothes, and weapons were all elemental weapons, while you only have a rusty knife. If you had all of those, would you have settled for second place?"

Feng Aotian's eyes flashed as he clenched the jade heart in his hand.

Li Zhi put away his smile and said sincerely, "I not only hope that you will become a strong person in the Seventh Trial Zone, but also that you will become a strong person among humans. These 100 gold coins are not purely for buying this Emerald Heart, but also because I have high hopes for you, admire you, hope that you will have a better future, and also want to make friends with you."

She extended her hand, looking firmly and calmly at the person who called me Feng Aotian: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Zhi. I am a businessman, but I aspire to be an investor, investing in anything that can lead humanity to greater strength."

Call me Feng Aotian: "I don't want to bear such a heavy responsibility..."

Li Zhi grinned: "You don't need to carry anything! Just keep walking forward. When we see your powerful back, we'll know that this is a road that has been walked and successfully traversed by those who came before."

"Feng Aotian, as long as you exist and grow stronger, you can lead many people like you and me onto a stronger path."

"My name isn't Feng Aotian." She pursed her lips, her eyelashes darting down. "My name is Feng Shengnan."

Li Zhi: "So what, Xiao Feng? I still demand my three-star, five-cost bonus, didn't I?"

"Call Me Phoenix Aotian!" his eyes widened instantly. "You mean you're returning my three-star, five-cost account?!"

Li Zhi: "What's wrong? Didn't you pay back the money you owed me? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Call Me Feng Aotian: "You...wait a minute, let me sort this out..."

She rubbed her greasy head: "100 gold... flying boat... loan... yeah! Besides you, who else could be this rich?"

Lee Ji grinned: "Thank you for the compliment."

Faced with her radiant smile, Feng Aotian quickly looked away.

"Since we're acquaintances, I'll sell you this jade heart. But let me make it clear beforehand: cash on delivery, no returns or exchanges. However... if you get chased after getting the jade heart, I can offer you some after-sales protection."

Li Zhi: "Don't worry, I'll write all of that into the contract. And how is the protection clause defined? Does it mean I'll be protected no matter who comes? To what extent? It won't just turn around and run away because the other party has a group of people or is a polar bear beastman, will it?"

"Call Me Phoenix Aotian" scoffed, "I'm second in the seventh trial area. Even with Hena, I didn't really lose to her; my equipment was just a bit inferior. Who can make me turn around and run away?"

Li Zhi immediately added the supplementary terms: "Okay, take a look. Cash on delivery. Also, remember to protect me."

After a moment's hesitation, Feng Aotian signed his name, Feng Shengnan, stroke by stroke.

After she finished signing, Li Zhi couldn't wait to sign his own name as well.

100 gold coins were transferred to the account of "Call Me Phoenix Aotian", and the Jade Heart also came into Li Zhi's hands.

When she placed the jade heart into the pendant, she did not turn it into a card.

The Emerald Heart icon covers the entire area; as long as it remains in that area, no one will know that the Emerald Heart has changed hands.

Once she leaves the area, she can then turn the Emerald Heart into a card to maximize the confusion.

This kept the trial participants guessing the whereabouts of the Emerald Heart.

And the only person in the know...

Li Zhi looked at Feng Aotian, who was sitting on the ground counting money after materializing the gold coins, pretending to be used to 100 gold coins, but actually drooling.

The contract clearly states that the second party cannot disclose the details of the Jade Heart transaction; otherwise, not only will the 100 gold coins be recovered, but I, Feng Aotian, will also have to compensate her with 100 gold coins for breach of contract.

But Li Zhi felt that even if she hadn't written it down, she probably wouldn't betray her.

Call me Feng Aotian; I have a stubborn streak.

Such people tend to be rule-abiding and inflexible.

Even without a contract, the constraints of her values ​​and morals will still hold her back once she makes a promise.
