Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi remarked with deep emotion, "With this kind of awareness, everyone will definitely become stronger very quickly!"

With nearly three hours left before the mission was scheduled to be released, Li Zhi and his group called Zhang Bai, who hadn't been woken up by the chat box and voice prompts, and went to the cafeteria.

The workers were already waiting here.

It's 9 a.m., the time for shift change. The workers who have just come off the ship and those who are about to start work are all gathered in the canteen, waiting for breakfast.

When Li Zhi entered, the noisy cafeteria fell silent for a moment, and everyone stood up.

Only after she sat down did the workers quietly sit down.

Li Zhi saw the fried rice already on the table: "So fast?"

Greedy Pass: "Fried rice is quick to make, and it would be even faster if the rice wasn't freshly steamed. Try it and see if it tastes good."

Li Zhigang scooped up a spoonful and saw the greedy passer across from him craning his neck with an expectant look on his face, which made him unable to help but chuckle.

"It wasn't you who did it, why are you so nervous?"

Greedy for Life pass: "Although I didn't make it, I added a little something extra. Did you see that bamboo shoot? Hao Shi and I dug it up when we went for a walk in the woods a few days ago. It was especially fresh and delicious. It should taste great in fried rice."

Li Zhi took a bite after hearing this, and the fresh aroma of bamboo shoots and the tenderness of bird eggs exploded in his mouth. Chewing them together with rice, it was indeed very delicious.

She gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely a talent!"

GreedyPass: "It wasn't me, it was mainly Chang Ling. She cooked this meal, I just gave her some suggestions."

As the group was talking, a young woman brought over a bowl of soup.

She put the soup down and whispered, "Boss, this is mushroom soup."

Li Zhi then realized that she was the young woman who had failed in the head chef election before, and she now seemed much more composed than before.

"Thank you." Li Zhi asked, "Are you adjusting well?"

Chang Ling's eyes sparkled: "I've adapted, I've adapted so well! Boss, I've changed jobs to become a chef. I'm already a Level 2 professional chef. Every day here, I just need to cook and process ingredients to gain experience. When I have free time, I can grow vegetables and chat with everyone. Occasionally, I can even find some interesting ingredients from the mountains. If I were outside... I don't even know if I could survive."

By the end, her voice had lowered.

Everyone saw the number of surviving players announced by the system.

A total of 7 million people!

Most of the players who chose to become fishing workers in the cloud mine did so because they were truly desperate and could no longer survive.

Some people have considered staying here temporarily until the outside environment becomes more stable, at which point they will leave to explore this new world.

But the ensuing extreme cold and bloodthirsty spirits, the constant calls for help and requests in the area chat every day, and the daily decrease in the number of players all made them incredibly grateful that they had made the right decision.

Although the work hours here are supposed to be 12 hours, it requires two shifts.

But the actual working hours in a day are only 10 hours, with the remaining 2 hours being for meals and shift handover.

There was no overtime or work beyond the essential scope, and all the colleagues were girls of various ages, so both the comfort and sense of security were maximized.

Moreover, they don't need to worry about food, clothing, shelter, or transportation here. Two team leaders take turns protecting their safety day and night. They can save all the money they earn and occasionally buy snacks or things they like in the trading area without worrying about not being able to afford them.

Developing your interests and hobbies at the same time, with a comfortable and safe working environment—how can this not be a dream job?

Before Li Zhi and the others came down, they were discussing how to choose the main quest, but most of them had a common goal:

We must stay here no matter what, and the company absolutely cannot go bankrupt or close down!

As for whether they are free citizens or dependent citizens, they each have their own choices.

As soon as Chang Ling spoke, the girl at the next table mustered her courage and asked, "Boss, have you chosen the lord? If we choose to be your subjects, can we become your subjects?"

For a moment, all the workers held their breath and looked over nervously.

Li Zhi put down his spoon, pondered for a moment, and said, "I have indeed chosen a lord, but the specific details of recruiting subjects will have to wait until the mission is completed before we can finalize them. You can rest assured that you are the company's first batch of employees, and the contributions you have made to the company have been seen by me and the managers. As soon as the regulations are finalized, we will notify you immediately. Let's eat first."

After breakfast, the workers left in twos and threes.

I took my place and boarded the fishing boat with the day shift workers.

Li Zhi followed Master Hao to learn martial arts, while Ou Huang and the others watched and learned from him.

"To dodge, you not only need to develop your muscle memory, but you also need to remember the movement of other people's muscles. When you see the other person's muscles and joints start to move, you need to quickly judge the other person's possible movements."

Teacher Hao explained things very carefully.

They had Li Zhi and Ou Huang fight each other, and even instructed them on how to attack and dodge based on their opponent's situation.

"Her luck is too high. Many times when you hit her, she doesn't even know why she's dodging, but she just manages to dodge. Against this kind of person, catching her off guard is useless. You have to use the simplest but widest range of attacks to be effective."

"Sanwu has excellent dynamic vision and judgment, and her reaction speed is faster than others. If you want to fight her, you can't compete with her speed. What you need to do is to catch her off guard. Your luck is here. A flash of inspiration can hit her instead."

"You can anticipate the moves, but don't do it too early. If you dodge first, the lucky one will know your next move and switch tactics, leaving you nowhere to dodge."

"Don't think you can dodge all attacks just because you're lucky! Okay! Three, five! Give her another punch!"

In the freezing cold, Li Zhi and the European Emperor fought back and forth, and after two hours, they were both sweating profusely.

Greedy Pass handed over two towels and hot water: "Shishi, let's call it a day. Let them take a hot shower first, so they don't catch a cold when the wind blows. Cold medicine is very expensive."

Li Zhi glanced at the "Save Life" pass with surprise as he drank his water.

"Terrifying, isn't it?" The European Emperor shook his head: "After being traumatized that day, she became like this. I almost don't recognize her anymore."

Just as Li Zhigang was about to speak, a new dialog box appeared in front of everyone.
