Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi carefully put away the qualification certificate and checked Jin Yu's information in a very good mood.

[Golden Feather: A special feather possessed only by the Feathered Spirit royal family, often given as a gift to a spouse. It can be used as a fire-type energy source (if the Feathered Spirit Crown Prince discovers this, the arrest warrant will definitely be upgraded to a kill warrant)]

Golden Feather?

Or is it the golden feather of the Feathered Spirit Clan's eldest prince?

Li Zhijiang's nameplate has been materialized.

It was discovered that there are indeed differences between Fire Feather and Fire Plume.

Fire feathers are more orange and not as bright as gold feathers; their texture is also more like feathers, while gold feathers have a metallic sheen.

Li Zhi's gaze fell on the words "courtship," and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. He then put Jin Yu into the "special use" equipment slot.

Continue examining the remaining cards:

[Universal Energy Storage Device:]

Li Zhi clasped his hands together again: "Pray for a wave of winning hands." (Winning hands: a gaming term referring to the consecutive appearance of the desired cards when playing a D hand)

[1 square meter defense blueprint] [1 kg bowl of milk powder] [Magic hair clip to enhance friendship] [Class C bandage] [Garlic bird (disposable item)]

Li Zhi, an elderly man on the subway, is looking at his phone.

Aside from the defense blueprints and bandages, the other three cards are quite abstract.

Li Zhi decided to look at the most abstract one first.

[1KG Bowl of Milk Powder: 50g can make a bowl of milk that no toddler can resist, the best weapon to win over your little one's heart]

cubs?

Li Zhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Perhaps it can be used to break the ice at the Beast Market or Beast Alliance Market.

It's not expensive, only 5 copper coins, which is quite a good deal.

Li Zhi spent another 5 copper coins to buy the magic hair clip.

[A Magic Hair Clip to Enhance Friendships: Wearing a magic hair clip will make those who like you like you even more! (The side effect is that it will also make those who dislike you dislike you even more.)]

It's somewhat useful.

But she has the ability to make those who like her like her even more.

No magic hair clips are needed.

Anyway, it's only 5 copper coins.

Leave it alone.

Li Zhi finally spent 50 copper coins to buy the only disposable item.

[Garlic Bird (One-time use item): Consumes 5 Spirit points; When you say "Garlic Bird is nothing" to your opponent, they will automatically feel "It's not easy for anyone" and reduce their rage by half (you often cause your opponents to generate 200% rage, so they will still attack you as usual)]

Li Zhi closed his eyes.

Tell yourself not to care.

—If Qi Yuan appeared here and used "Garlic Bird Garlic Bird" on her, she would absolutely not be able to use Garlic Bird!

Li Zhi bought all the cards in one go, angrily preparing to roll for more, when he heard a loud voice: "Three stars, five mana! I challenge you!"

A lion-clan orc stood at the edge of the trial area, pointing his finger at Li Zhi defiantly, his tone and expression arrogant.

Li Zhi glanced at a box that had been teleported from below to the arena.

Lion-Clan Orc: "This is a chest from the C-Rank Trial Zone. The value of what's inside will far exceed your imagination. Do you dare accept the challenge?"

Li Zhi took out the scale from the card table.

The side of the scale on the card table facing her showed: a resource box in the third area of ​​the Emerald Mountains C-level trial zone, with unknown resources inside.

Li Zhi flexed his wrists: "Come on."

The lion-like orc was taken aback.

The light and shadow fell at her feet, leading her to the first arena.

Li Zhi smiled and asked, "Do we need some time to prepare?"

Lion-clan orc: "No need!"

[First Arena, Battle Begins]

The lion-like beastman lunged at Li Zhi in an instant.

Li Zhi drew his dagger and charged towards the oncoming lion-clan beastman.

The two collided.

Taking advantage of its height, the lion-like beastman struck Li Zhi's head with its claws first.

Li Zhi ducked to dodge, then thrust his dagger toward the lion-man.

The dagger easily broke through the lion-clan orcs' defenses and pierced her most vulnerable abdomen.

The lion-like beastman didn't miss the opportunity either, biting down on Li Zhi's neck, but his sharp teeth couldn't even bite her down a fraction.

—Wearing the Wind Realm set, plus the dwarven cloak and other equipment, her defense reached 580 points. Even if the lion orc gritted his teeth, he couldn't break through her defense.

Taking advantage of the lion-man's surprise, Li Zhi used every technique she could think of with a dagger, from stabbing to slashing to thrusting.

Daggers inherently possess slowing and freezing effects.

The lion-like orcs are clearly not orc kings like Hena, Ashi, or Snow.

After being subdued by Li Zhi, she lost her composure, forgot to dodge, and instead pounced on Li Zhi and started biting him.

This actually made it easier for Li Zhi to practice using the dagger.

Despite feeling nauseous and the slickness on her hands, she stabbed the living, warm body dozens of times.

The lion-woman surrendered when she realized all her actions were futile and Li Zhi was about to pierce her stomach.

The challenge has come to an end.

The participants watching from below the stage had mixed feelings.

The lion-orcs look so pitiful.

Not only was she stabbed by Li Zhi with a dagger, leaving her covered in bloody holes.

Instead, she completely failed to break through Li Zhi's defenses!

What's the point of fighting like this?

Before going up, you have to give them something of considerable value.

That's a huge loss.

Most of the people who were initially eager to participate backed out.

Especially Ashi, who was hiding to the side.

"Her equipment is so good that even a B-rank race wouldn't be much better."

Bai Xue said with lingering fear, "Luckily, we listened to the fox clan and had someone else go up and test her strength first, otherwise we would have been the ones with our intestines spilling out."

Yashi: "Are all businessmen this rich?"

Bai Xue: "But I have thick skin. She would have to stab me three times before she could even break my skin."

Yashi: "What do you think the probability is that I'll switch from warrior to merchant?"

Bai Xue: "I think after I find my origin, I should put all my attribute points into strength. What do you think?"

The two were talking at cross purposes, but neither of them stepped out of the shade.

Li Zhi put the box into his backpack, glanced at the trial participants below, and seeing that no one wanted to challenge him, he sat cross-legged on the arena and continued playing cards.

—The wave of cards never came.

I tried again eight times, but didn't get anything good.

Li Zhi decisively gave up and simply messaged Mi privately: [How much loan have you taken out?]

Mi replied a few minutes later: [21.]

Li Zhi glanced at his mission progress; he didn't even have 2 gold coins. That shouldn't be the case.

Each person earns 10 silver, which is 210 silver. Then, if you lend it out to buy it back, the total is 420 silver.

Her mission should have been completed long ago.

How come there's only 1 gold, 69 silver, and 12 bronze?

Li Zhi's gaze swept over it for a moment, then immediately shifted back.

Who takes out a loan in both whole and odd amounts?

Just as she was about to ask, Mi sent over a list of those who had taken out loans, including the loan amount for each orc, the collateral, the items purchased, and their credit rating.

One of them was a loan of 8 copper coins.

Li Zhidu never expected that he could borrow 8 copper coins to buy 0.01 units of oats.

Mi must be terrified that the loan will be transferred to him!

Mi: [Rest assured, sir, I will absolutely not lend money to any orc who cannot repay their loan. I will strictly vet them for you!]
