Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Seeing that Li Zhi tacitly agreed, the workers recounted the whole story one by one.

Greedy Pass nodded: "Doctors are also one of our company's benefits, so we won't have to worry about injuries in the future."

She added, "Tell the others that the boss is back today, and there will be extra food tonight."

"Great! Goodbye boss, goodbye supervisor."

Not long after the workers went downstairs, cheers erupted from below.

Teacher Hao and Zhang Bai also came up at this moment.

After introducing themselves, Tan Sheng Pass led Zhang Bai downstairs to find a room to settle in, while Li Zhize and Hao Shi went directly to the terrace.

Teacher Hao: "How many attribute points do you have? You don't need to give me the exact number, but it's best if the fluctuation is within 2 points, so that I can develop a training plan based on your situation."

Li Zhi directly provided the true attributes without any equipment, weapons, or badge bonuses.

Since she wants to train and learn, she should definitely use the method that suits her best. At this time, concealing her attributes would do more harm than good. Moreover, her current combat power mainly lies in her equipment and items. If she hides these two trump cards, there won't be much of a problem if others find out about her basic attributes.

Even though it was a blank slate, it still surprised Hao Shi.

"Wow, this many attribute points for leveling up?"

But Teacher Hao is very professional; after his initial surprise, he immediately got into teaching mode.

"I have a few moves for you to follow along with. I'll record the differences between your agility, strength, and attribute points..."

The sky gradually darkened.

Li Zhi followed Master Hao and completed the entire set of movements with ease.

Master Hao pondered and said, "Your attribute points are too high. Many movements have become a burden for you. I may need to study them further. However, my initial idea is that the greatest truths are the simplest. If you master dodging and defense, and then learn some flexible counter-attack movements, you may improve faster."

Li Zhi: "...So you mean I'm not cut out for this, right?"

Teacher Hao: "Your understanding of the movements is precise. You clearly understand the function of each movement and each muscle, and you know how to maximize the activation of every muscle in your body. However, your movements are always prone to distortion. This may be related to the fact that your attribute points are too high, but you don't train enough."

Li Zhi seemed thoughtful: "Then how long do you think I should train each day to quickly achieve the best results?"

Master Hao shook his head and said directly, "Your current physical condition is very suitable for martial arts training, or rather, you are probably the most suitable person among all humans to learn martial arts. However, if you want to truly master this power and control it freely, you must undergo a lot of training. Do you have the time?"

Li Zhi fell silent.

She doesn't have time.

Today, she traveled to at least five locations.

From the Wilderness Market to the Trial Grounds, then from the Trial Grounds to the Green Market, back to the Trial Grounds, to Soma Ghost Market, and then to the Dormitory Area.

She didn't even eat breakfast or lunch.

Even the D card game requires taking time out of the arena to play.

But she didn't actually feel tired or hungry.

I just always felt a sense of urgency.

It felt like something was approaching; she couldn't see it but could sense it. A sense of crisis enveloped her, making her dare not stop for a moment.

Master Hao: "Your mind is not calm. The most important thing in martial arts training is a calm mind. Only when the mind is calm can the lower body be stable. Only when the body is stable can you achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Li Zhi took a deep breath and then sighed softly.

After a jumble of thoughts, she didn't dwell on it too much: "Then I'll learn how to dodge and defend first."

Master Hao: "Let's skip it today. We'll eat soon. Go to your room and rest. I feel like I'm not as tired as you even when I fight dozens of matches every day."

Li Zhi glanced at the bleeding wound on her chest.

"Don't force yourself. Zhang Bai needs a lot of healing experience to level up her profession. It's a win-win situation for her if you seek her help more often. But then again, don't you even have a bandage or some medicine?"

Master Hao waved his hand dismissively: "These are just superficial wounds, nothing serious to the bones or internal organs. The bandages and medicines are limited, I'll save them for a critical moment. Besides, fighting with injuries helps improve my pain tolerance, which also enhances my talent."

She didn't explain it clearly, but Li Zhi knew it was probably related to her innate characteristics, so he didn't try to persuade her further.

There are no perfect options in the world. When making a choice, everyone inevitably loses or gives up something.

You can only choose the side with the heavier weight on the scale, if possible.

For Master Hao, that side held even greater power and talent.

For her, that place represented a higher level, fixed territory, and the power and benefits that came with it.

Neither the body nor time can be reversed.

Master Hao chose to exchange his wounds for strength.

She chose to trade time for money and experience.

They may not have made the right choice.

But the answer must lie on the road ahead.

Li Zhi eased the tension in his muscles from the exercise, and said, "I'm going to rest for a bit."

No sooner had Mi finished speaking than a message popped up: [The orc leader, Yakin, from District 15, has arrived. She claims we set up stalls illegally at the Wilderness Market and haven't paid stall fees. She says she's going to arrest us all and take us to court for trial, and confiscate all the money we've earned. What should we do?]

Li Zhi paused in his steps and replied to the message: [The leader of the orcs in District 15 is Yajin, then who were the others before him?]

Mi: [Ya Dong is Ya Xi's younger brother, but Ya Jin is Ya Xi's aunt and the younger sister of the Beast Alliance leader. Aside from relying on his status and his two lackeys to roam the area, Ya Dong has no real power. Ya Jin, however, is different; she is the true administrator of District 15, and a member of the Tiger Clan who is even more greedy than the Fox Clan.]

Li Zhi didn't reply to Mi, but instead sent a message to Ying: [Give me all the information about Ya Jin, the leader of District 15. Also, I want to ask, is there a stall fee for setting up a stall at the free market? What are the standards for setting up a private stall?]

Ying: [Would you consider this a consultation?]

Li Zhi: [Let's calculate.]

Ying sent over two documents directly.

Shadow: [Friendly reminder: In a free market like the Wilderness Market, where there are practically no rules, many things are negotiable. It mainly depends on the attitude of the person in charge. However, I just heard a bit about your trouble from the elf. Here's a copy of "The Lord's Code" for you. You're welcome.]

As Li Zhi received the equipment, he put it back on all the gear he had taken off for training and quickly walked outside.

Teacher Hao: "Aren't you going to rest?"

Li Zhi didn't even turn his head: "I'm going to take care of something."

She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly turned back. "By the way? Where's the lucky one?"
