Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

After Li Zhi recorded this information, it was already three in the morning.

She turned off all message notifications, yawned, and pulled the covers tighter around her to sleep.

The sound of the wind rattling the wooden door became white noise.

Li Zhi had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up again it was already 10:30.

Check the player panel immediately.

My mental state is still at 0; it hasn't been reset.

Li Zhixin calmed down a bit, but didn't lose her composure.

The survival game brought humanity into this world at noon.

According to the 24-hour time system of Earth, it is not yet time to refresh.

If you're in a bad mood, you should eat something good.

But before that, let's go and collect the nets.

The cloud network can harvest once every two hours. This doesn't apply when you're sleeping or not in the cabin, but once you're awake, you have to strictly adhere to the two-hour harvesting schedule.

Congratulations on your harvest: 0.1 units of Apocalypse Dust, Unknown Bone, 1 unit of Copper Ore, and 1 unit of Oil Algae.

Apart from the unidentified bone, everything else was common.

Li Zhi returned to the house and took out the bone to examine it.

It appears to be the skull of a bird; although most of it is broken and fragmented, the sharp beak is well preserved.

Li Zhi took out a scale and placed the skull directly on it.

[Skull of a hybrid bird containing Rock-beaked bird genes: Rock-beaked birds are common birds in shallow airspace. Their beaks have fire and poison properties and can be used as weapons. This particular beak contains mixed poisons due to hybridization, doubling its lethality when made into a weapon (if you dare to take it out, a Rock-beaked bird can peck your brains out)].

Hybrid Rock-beaked Bird?

It seems quite fierce?

Li Zhi put the skull into his backpack.

I'll keep it for now. I still have space in my backpack, and I might need it someday.

After hauling in the net, Li Zhi took out a bowl of sour soup beef instant noodles, soaked dried meat and cabbage in it, lit the wood with a fire feather, and put it into the windproof stove.

Before long, a bowl of fragrant noodles was ready.

Then take out the cola and drink it.

A sip of cola followed by a bite of instant noodles instantly lifted my spirits.

While eating, Li Zhi opened the chat area, which was as lively as ever:

Is it true that Apocalypse Dust is easier to retrieve at night?

Seriously, I collected one unit of Apocalypse Dust all night, and now I'm about to take a nap.

Does anyone know if it's true that the person claiming to be official said last night that three blueprints could upgrade the game?

[I should have stayed up all night. I was hungry and cold and didn't sleep well. I might as well have spent the night fishing.]

Even if you have three blueprints, you still need to gather enough upgrade materials. You can't even gather the materials for regular blueprints, let alone advanced ones. A bunch of lucky people don't know the hardships of ordinary people.

I woke up with a cold, does anyone have any medicine?

[The above statement isn't entirely accurate. The official statement is that you should upgrade the advanced airship blueprints if possible, but it doesn't say that everyone should upgrade.]

[Do you guys remember the message from yesterday about having advanced airship upgrade blueprints and asking everyone to join the group? It cost 188 yuan to join! And it's only been a day! Who on earth could earn 188 yuan?! I'm genuinely curious!]

Curiosity +1

[A bunch of incredibly lucky players!]

Do you think the official team infiltrated that group and leaked the information to us?

Li Zhi guessed yesterday that "You are safe" was most likely an official.

Survival games require everyone to use nicknames, which to some extent ensures that players' identities are not revealed, but you can still see some clues.

For example, her name is the last thing she said when her computer screen went black and she was suddenly transported to this world. Anyone who has played chess understands that.

And names like "You are safe".

Li Zhi also tends to believe that this was the last thing this person said when entering the game.

What kind of person would tell another person, "You are safe"?

Li Zhi could only think of official professions such as police officers or negotiation experts.

There's also the player with the longest game name in the group, whose comment is "The β-phase grain size of titanium alloy exceeds the standard".

Li Zhi also tends to believe that this was something that wasn't finished being said.

Based on the information this person provided in the group at the time, which was also related to the technological level of this world, it is highly likely that they were in the manufacturing or military industry before entering the game.

If it's titanium alloy, it's probably related to aerospace.

It may not be entirely accurate, but it should be roughly the same for the manufacturing or military industries.

So this person, even if not an official, may still have connections with the authorities.

There were ten people in the group, and two officials had infiltrated.

Li Zhi was naturally cautious in his words and actions, and didn't say a single unnecessary word.

For top performers in all industries, and for regulators who maintain order, rushing to be ahead is the worst strategy.

Li Zhi opened the group chat and scrolled through the chat history she hadn't read yesterday.

The discussions mainly revolved around finding materials and fuel, with no mention of releasing the blueprints.

However, Li Zhi did not believe that the authorities would disclose information without the consent of the information provider.

It was most likely a private message.

Upon finding the chat box for the "Save Life" option, Li Zhi sent a message directly to inquire.

Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost weapon!!! : [I just saw someone in the regional chat say that the official team has released the crafting method for advanced blueprints (screenshot).]

GreedyPass: [Hehe, you probably guessed it, someone from the authorities did contact me, asking if I could leak this information. They even offered me some money, so I agreed.]

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Li Zhi traded three anti-inflammatory pills with Tan Sheng Pass.

Give me back my Samsung 5-star rating!!! : [I'm running low on anti-inflammatory medication, and I won't be selling it anymore. If you're still not better after you finish this, come find me again.]

Greedy Pass: [!!! Thank you so much, sister! You saved my life! I've always been weak, so I figured I'd recover slowly. If you hadn't sold me, I'm afraid I'd be dead here!]

This natural and spontaneous special treatment distinguishes the other party from outsiders.

The other person will subconsciously feel like they are part of the group, developing a greater sense of closeness and trust.

This is a little trick to get closer to someone.

Li Zhi's lips curled slightly: "[It's fate that brought us together. You were my first customer, and we met in the group chat, so it has to be a little special.]"

The tone is ordinary, but it reiterates the special place the other person holds in one's heart, solidifying the other person's goodwill. At the same time, it inadvertently mentions coincidences, further deepening the sense of destiny in the relationship.

Fate isn't just for couples.

When used properly, it can make the other person more certain that you are the right one in any relationship.

Friendship is fine, family ties are fine, and doing business is fine too.

Greedy for Life Pass: [I hereby unilaterally declare that I'm determined to be your friend!]

GreedyPass: [To be honest, I needed the anti-inflammatory medicine not for myself, but for Shishi. She might get hurt, and I wanted to prepare some for her.]

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [Then why doesn't she buy it herself?]

"Survival pass": [She also wanted to buy it, but you ignored her, it seems.]

Greedy for survival pass: [My sister also wanted to buy it, but she was in a hurry to retrieve the box, so she sent me to buy it. As soon as I asked, you replied to me.]

Greedy for Life Pass: [Otherwise, how could we say we're destined for each other!]

Li Zhi: ...

She found the chat in the trading area.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Hao Shifa's message among the hundreds of chat records that she had deleted with one click.

AAA professional boosting service owner Hao Shi: [I'm really broke, can you make it any cheaper?]
