Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

What is the heart of a strong person?

Li Zhi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. Even though she had obtained the heart of a strong person, she still couldn't find a definite answer.

What came to mind were the words Celia had once told her: "Someone once told me that strength lies not in rank, but in the heart, and that is my answer for now."

As Li Zhi spoke, an urgent message popped up:

Celia: [You got a C rank?]

Li Zhi flashed a wide grin: [You didn't see my portrait in the Starry Moon Corridor, did you? Did you take a picture?]

Celia: [Now that you're at C-rank, it's time to get back to the exchange. I've already gotten you the tickets for the trade fair, but you only had a follower qualification before. You'd better get a merchant's ticket too. Your job level should be 3 by now, right?]

Li Zhi: [How do I get merchant admission tickets?]

Celia: [Didn't Ling specifically go to Black Iron Harbor to find you? With your relationship, you need to ask me for an admission ticket?]

Li Zhi: [No matter how good my relationship with Ling is, could it be better than my relationship with you? You're my life mentor!]

Celia: [Your spaceship upgrade is almost complete. Come back soon if you have nothing else to do.]

Li Zhi closed his chat with Celia and discovered that he had quite a few unread messages.

She skipped the other messages and opened Ling's message.

Ling: [I'm sorry, something unexpected happened. I only managed to collect the remaining 46 gold coins today. I've already transferred them to you. Please check your account.]

Li Zhi: [What happened? Do you need help?]

Ling didn't reply, and Li Zhi didn't look at any other messages either, and directly closed the game panel.

Both Feng Aotian and Hena were lost in thought.

Li Zhi raised his hand and waved it in front of Feng Aotian: "Let's go back to the training ground."

Li Zhi and his two companions didn't have to wait long before the Shadowmane Clan and the Hyena Clan led by He Dong returned together, escorting the magician back.

Hua Yan wiped non-existent sweat from his brow: "Boss, the person has been brought."

He Dong: "We almost let her escape, but luckily our people blocked the entrance to the trial area first."

Li Zhilue nodded, then casually asked, "Are there any other people at the entrance of the trial area?"

Herdon: "No."

Hua Yan: "Boss, we've checked, and she's definitely alone."

Li Zhi nodded: "Very good."

She looked at the magician who was being held down.

She lowered her head and did not struggle, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate.

Li Zhi: "A magician?"

The magician looked up at Li Zhi and slowly smiled: "Give me back my three-star, five-cost unit. What does it feel like to break through the racial limit? Can you tell me? I really want to know."

A strange feeling flashed through Li Zhi's mind.

She looked at the magician's fearless face, and every image of her she had seen flashed through her mind: "You have a special skill called creating clones?"

The magician's smile faltered slightly, but quickly returned to its unrestrained state: "I didn't expect you to see through me so quickly. Did you tell me, Feng Aotian? This is indeed a clone, but she doesn't know that I've been a clone from beginning to end in the Seventh Trial Zone. You won't be able to catch me today no matter what."

Li Zhi's brow twitched: "Your clone can use all your skills?"

Magician: "Yeah, aren't you envious?"

Li Zhi laughed: "Magician, do you know a prop called the 'Eye of Truth'?"

The magician's expression changed slightly, but he quickly sneered again: "You mean you're using the Eye of Truth right now?"

Li Zhi: "It's useless now, but I used it when the hyenas were chasing you and you tried to drag me into this mess. Otherwise, how could I have seen through your scheme so quickly?"

The magician remained silent, merely observing Li Zhi's expression.

Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged: "Moreover, you probably don't know that I have many tools, including clones. The distance between clones cannot exceed 3 kilometers. The farther apart they are, the more mental energy is consumed. Hua Yan and the others brought you here from the entrance of the trial area, which means you have been using clones for at least 30 minutes. According to the average human mental energy, the real you is probably around here."

When she drew the clone, her attention was focused on the Bewitching Fruit. It was only when she was about to fight Hena to the death that she reviewed all the information about the one-time talents.

Hua Yan immediately said, "Boss, I'll go find it right away!"

Hedon grinned, "She's our prey! Girls! Find her now!"

The Shadowmane Clan and the Hyena Clan split up and began a thorough search of the area around the training grounds.

The magician's face grew increasingly grim.

Li Zhi sighed, "You don't need to be so nervous. Hena and I have reconciled, and there's no deep-seated hatred between us. Besides, we're compatriots. Why don't you come out first, and we can talk about something else?"

Magician: "What is it?"

Li Zhi glanced at Hena, whose expression was cold and full of anger, and grinned, "Actually, I just want to ask, why did you eat all the hyena cubs? After you devoured them, what changes occurred in their appearance? What benefits did you gain?"

The hyenas and beastmen who remained all stared at the magician with bloodshot eyes.

One of them was already growling, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, staring intently at the magician as if he were a piece of meat that could be torn apart at any moment.

The magician's expression changed slightly.

Li Zhi turned his head and saw another magician being pressed down by He Dong.

—She was actually in a completely human form.

He was the last human trial participant who had been lagging behind the main force!

This is more than just a clone.

This is absolutely amazing!

It's just that only one can be changed at the moment.

Li Zhi instantly felt a chilling sense of dread regarding the magician's talent and profession.

This is absolutely the most incredible and powerful combination of profession and talent she has ever seen.

If we don't find a way to kill her when she's weak, given the magician's personality, she'll definitely target her in the future!

Leaving it would be a disaster.

but……

Li Zhi immediately opened the player panel, found Celia and Shadow's avatars, and sent the same message:

Li Zhi: [Urgent! Is there any way to control someone or force them to work for me and not betray my contract?]
