Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

In addition to the text on the screen below the arena, several dialog boxes also popped up in front of Li Zhi:

[Players, give me back my 3-star, 5-cost character!!! Become the defender of the seventh trial zone and gain 1 point of regional reputation]

[Player, give me back my 3-star, 5-cost character!!! Achieve friendly relations with the Hyena Clan, gain 1 point of racial reputation]

She had no time to read the text; delay would only lead to trouble. So she immediately combined and upgraded the three Emerald Hearts she had unlocked.

The three cards in the pendant became one.

However, this card looks no different from the previous three cards.

Li Zhi checked the information:

【Emerald Heart: Level X (3) has a chance to activate the second talent after use】

It went from a low probability to a high probability.

That means the probability is still not high.

But whether it's high or low, we have to try it to know, so Li Zhi directly chose to activate it.

[The Jade Heart has been used]

[Second talent being generated...]

Li Zhi stood up straight instantly.

It's done?!

Is she developing a second talent?

Just as Li Zhi was beginning to feel a little hopeful, he was interrupted by He Dong's scream.

"10000 gold coins?!" He Dong's eyes turned bloodshot. "You want us to pay you 10000 gold coins?"

Because Hena signed 81 names, and Li Zhi chose to send the contract, there was a slight delay in the contracts that He Dong and the others received.

This led her to only then see the contract details on her bracelet.

Li Zhi asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem?"

Hedong: "Of course there's a problem! How could those things cost 10000 gold coins?!"

Li Zhi: "Do you know that all my item cards are rare items? Each one costs more than 10 gold coins. And then there's my turret, the fire spirit I use, my healing potions, and that flour. Do you know how much flour costs per kilogram during this cold wave? My flour alone is worth 100 gold coins."

He Dong's face turned ashen: "That's still not 10000 gold."

"The rest is compensation for my emotional distress and for my magnanimity in letting Hena go. Hedon, this is a cruel world, and tolerance and magnanimity are rare resources. Is it too much for me to price it at 5000?"

"And there's the emotional distress. I was inexplicably dragged into the ring and subjected to psychological torment of fear and anxiety. Shouldn't I be compensated for that? Is 5000 not too much for me?"

"A total of 10000 gold. My resources are essentially wiped out. This is part of my magnanimity. Hedon, don't look at me like that. You should be secretly happy to have met me. Who else would spare Hena's life?"

He Dong fell silent.

Li Zhi's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked around: "Where's that beast-eared woman next to you?"

He Dong was stunned, looked around, and his expression changed drastically.

Li Zhi's expression was also very serious.

She was certain that when she spoke to Herdon just now, the beast-eared woman was still being held captive by several hyena beastmen.

But in the blink of an eye, the living person vanished into thin air.

How is that possible?

Unless she can teleport, or...

She can also become invisible.

Li Zhi immediately looked around, scanning every inch with his thermal imaging glasses.

Finally, they found a figure that was out of sight.

"Xiao Feng, grab her at your 12 o'clock position!"

Since Li Zhi was forced into a life-or-death duel, Feng Aotian, who had already returned to the second arena, immediately rushed down.

The figure immediately increased its speed.

Just as they were about to disappear from sight, Li Zhi also stepped down from the arena: "Henna Hedon, take some men and follow me!"

The hyena clan consisted of 13 people. Although they were not very willing, they followed behind Li Zhi and chased after the woman with animal ears.

Only Li Zhi can see her here.

She took Hena and Feng Aotian with her, and the three of them ran at about the same speed, running ahead and closely following the beast-eared woman.

At this moment, Feng Aotian revealed the beast-eared woman's identity: "She is a magician."

Li Zhi was surprised for a moment, then thought it made perfect sense.

At that time, the magician was on the leaderboard, ranking fourth in points.

However, during Li Zhi's search for the three jade hearts, he traveled to almost every area of ​​the trial zone and met most of the trial participants.

Of all the humans she saw, not one was a magician.

These people are all too weak.

The magician's fourth-place finish was definitely not due to robbing those two, nor was it because he couldn't keep up with that person.

All that's left is to call me Feng Aotian and the beast-eared woman.

Then, it becomes obvious who the magician is.

The next sentence from "Call Me Feng Aotian" surprised Li Zhi: "Her profession is a magician, and her talent is devouring. By devouring a certain number of people, she can obtain the bloodline of those she devours. You must think her talent is terrifying, but what's truly terrifying is her profession."

Feng Aotian's tone was both wary and disgusted: "You just fought Hena and you still needed to use those props. The magician's profession comes with many magics. I've seen invisibility, clones, take off, conjure animals, and even manipulate others like puppets. But I'm sure she has other magics. You have to be careful when facing her. She could turn the tables at any time."

Li Zhi was genuinely surprised and uncertain this time.

If what "Call Me Phoenix Aotian" says is true, then the profession of magician is simply defying the heavens.

Li Zhi became even more cautious. She distributed the fluorescent moss spores to Feng Aotian and Hena, saying, "If you encounter her, don't grab her. Try to get this onto her first..."

"There are quite a few good things here."

Several dark figures emerged from under the trees.

His eyes were filled with greed and a sense of certainty as he looked at Li Zhi: "You have three Emerald Hearts, don't you? We watched you manipulate these people, just to see when they would realize what was happening. We never expected you had so many other good things besides the Emerald Hearts..."

"New race, we have high hopes for you and don't want to make enemies. Hand over the Emerald Heart and your spatial equipment, and we'll let you go. How about it?"

After a few dark figures appeared, more than a dozen more dark figures appeared, completely surrounding Li Zhi and his two companions.

Li Zhi's face darkened.

—Shadowmane Clan.

Celia had warned her that most races wouldn't enter trial zones that didn't match their level, but the Shadowmane race specialized in doing dirty work and finding resources, so she should pay to avoid encountering them.

If they didn't want so much.

If it were a life-or-death battle, and they weren't after the Emerald Heart, Li Zhi might have genuinely thought it would be better to spend a little money.

But there are no "what ifs".

Moreover, Li Zhi felt that he had a really unpleasant day.

He was hunted down, robbed, implicated, and dragged into a life-or-death struggle...

On what grounds?

Why is it that she couldn't grasp the mind of a strong person even when facing life and death?

Why is it that every time she thinks she's made a step forward, there's always a new being that can crush her?

On what grounds—

[Second talent successfully generated! Congratulations to the player for giving me back my 3-star, 5-cost character!!! Awakening Second Talent: Climbing the Ladder]
