Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Give me a piece of paper: [Hey buddy! We're chatting again! Besides wild berries and dried meat, do you have anything else here?]

Give me back my 3-star, 5-cost coin!!! : [That's all for now!]

She either has other uses for the other items, or it's not the best time to sell them yet.

She shared wild fruits and dried meat, partly because she had stockpiled a lot, and partly to leave the impression in the group that she had a way to obtain supplies other than those caught by cloud net fishing and opening boxes.

From now on, when these people want to find or buy something, she will be the first person they think of.

Give me a piece of paper: [Let me see some wild berries.]

Li Zhi brought up the player panel, took a picture of a bunch of fruits, and sent it over.

They gave me a piece of paper and I picked out three.

Li Zhi sold them for 5 copper coins each.

Including the price of the blueprints, the total payment was 70 copper coins.

After replying to Zhang Zhi, a message popped up from the magician, followed by "Feng Aotian" and "Jia"...

She received a total of 38 drawings yesterday.

I collected them for between 9 and 12 copper, spending a total of 429 copper.

After each transaction, 385 has been received.

The message "You are safe" was the last one to pop up.

You are safe: [How many drawings do you have left?]

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [31 images.]

You're safe: [I'll take them all.]

Li Zhi's lips curled up; this was the big fish she had been waiting for when she acquired the blueprints.

How can individual investors compare to professional institutions?

Give me back my Samsung 5-star fee: [If you want more, I'll give you a 10% discount, so it'll be 49.5 per piece.]

You are safe: [Okay, the total is 1534.5, transferred to your account.]

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [Happy to cooperate.]

Li Zhi was genuinely happy.

—Private transfers are not subject to third-party commissions.

When she returned yesterday, she only had 205 copper coins left in her wallet, so she planned to withdraw the money from the trading area.

As a result, if you withdraw more than 100 copper coins, they will charge a 10% commission!

She was puzzled from the start why the game, which didn't have an in-game store, was willing to build a trading platform.

So that's what it was all about.

Fortunately, trading within the trading zone was unaffected.

Li Zhi gave up withdrawing the cash and used the money he earned in the trading area to buy the blueprints.

But in the morning, I still had to withdraw the remaining 1819 bronzes in order to get the D card.

In the end, all I received was 1637 copper...

This game is even more of a rip-off than hers; I actually played it by throwing away half of it!

As soon as the money arrived in Li Zhi's account, a dialog box popped up in front of him.

[The account balance of unscrupulous merchant Li Zhi has reached 3000, granting him access to the trading zone. Would you like to select a trading zone immediately?]

Trading area?

It also requires entry qualifications, so it should be much more formal than a market.

Li Zhi answered without hesitation: "Yes."

[In the initial area, the trading zones you have been granted access to are divided into 5 categories: Food Trading Zone, Ore Trading Zone, Crystal Trading Zone, Weapon Trading Zone, and Special Resource Trading Zone. Please select one trading zone and bind your access qualification.]

Li Zhi pondered for a moment.

Food and crystals are the first things to be eliminated.

She doesn't need them for the time being.

Ores, weapons, and special resources can all be materials for upgrading airships.

These are all things she desperately needs, and she has a hard time choosing one of them.

"Can I only choose one? Can I choose three?"

Please make a choice as soon as possible.

Li Zhi clicked his tongue and pondered for a long time.

"I choose the weapons trading area."

Ore is the most basic material; it's too primitive.

You might be able to find it at the Wilderness Market.

However, the term "special resources" is too vague.

She hoped to upgrade her spaceship before the newbie period ended, and didn't want to waste time going to the trading area, which might not help with the upgrade at all.

Only in the weapons section is it most likely to obtain the parts and materials shown on the blueprints.

After all, one of the upgrade directions for spaceships is armament.

Weapons also need to be tested, assembled, and refined.

Then she might be able to find information about the finely crafted parts in the weapons trading area, or even if she can't buy them, she'll likely get information about those materials.

[Selection complete, filtering in progress... We've selected the weapons trading zone "Black Iron Harbor." Enter now?]

Li Zhi: "No."

She still has two bottles of energy drink left.

Even if you don't get the original card or the intermediate copy card, having more resources makes it easier to trade.

It's getting late, let's get our D-plates ready and leave as soon as possible.

Li Zhi opened the energy drink and drank a few mouthfuls.

hiccup~

Surprisingly, it tastes pretty good, like berry-flavored sparkling water!

My energy level has recovered to 10 points.

Li Zhi took a deep breath.

Click.

[1 bundle of wood] [Bathroom blueprints] [1 set of winter clothing] [Sound transmission (one-time talent)] [1 pack of snail rice noodles]

A one-time talent?!

Li Zhi immediately viewed the details:

[Sound Transmission: Within a distance of 100 meters, you can transmit your voice to anyone within your line of sight, and by default, the recipient of the voice transmission can use this card.]

One sentence consumes one time (0/50)

Although it doesn't seem to be of much use for the time being.

But you can never have too many one-time talents.

This time, my luck was alright.

Come again!

[1 unit of iron] [1 fire feather] [1 vial of antibiotics] [1 pair of socks] [A crossbow discarded by the Smelting Clan]

"Um?"

How come this obsolete crossbow is more expensive than that obsolete dagger?

18 copper!

After buying them all, Li Zhi clicked on the details of "Crossbows Eliminated by the Forging Clan".

[The crossbow discarded by the Forging Clan: An early work of Master Odin, it requires no arrows but needs special crystals for energy, with a range of 700 meters and an effective range of 300 meters.]

The effective range actually reached 300 meters?

It's a pity there are no crystals, otherwise it would be a great weapon for self-defense.

Li Zhi put away the crossbow and drew cards again...

After 7 attempts, the raw materials, food, and daily necessities increased again, but the original card and intermediate copy card were still not obtained.

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and drank the other bottle of energy drink.

[0.1 unit Apocalypse Dust] [Copy Card] [1 unit Insulation Material] [1 Bottle of Cola] [Beef Roll]

I took it without any expression, and refreshed the page again.

[1 unit of iron] [1 unit of ceramics] [10 units of stone] [Constant temperature system drawings] [Planting bin drawings]

Li Zhi's gaze fell on the two drawings at the back.

Both cost 15 copper.

And they are all practical items.

Feeling a little better, Li Zhi took another deep breath after buying everything.

Click.

[Thermometer] [2m*2m Sofa] [1 Unit of Ceramic] [5kg Rice] [Dishware Set]

Click.

[1 unit of stone] [1 pack of toast] [Airship operation manual] [150g chocolate] [1L milk]

No more D!

I refreshed 14 times, and not only did I not get the original card or the intermediate duplication card, but I also didn't get any resources worth trading...

How can someone's luck be so bad?

Li Zhi, looking dejected, carefully put away the bowl and plate set, finished the last sip of his energy drink, stuffed the chocolate into his pocket, and opened his career panel:

[Shop: Blacklisted Shop]

[Businessman: Li Zhi]

Store rating: 0

[Shop Anchor Points: 1. Wilderness Market; 2. Black Iron Harbor;]

[Shop Status: Free Stall]

[Shop Equipment: Merchant's Cloak, Merchant's Backpack, Fair Scale]

Clicking on "Black Iron Harbor" brings up a dialog box:

[Do you want to deduct the 100 copper entry fee and teleport to Black Iron Harbor?]

"Yes."
