Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Luo Hong said with a half-smile, "I'm looking forward to it."

She attended the opening banquet not only out of curiosity about how Li Zhi dared to invite her, but also because she wanted to know why Celia had given her the invitation.

At this moment, Celia was standing inside the barrier, her mechanical prosthetic limbs supporting her, making her slightly hunched body a centimeter taller than her.

Eyes facing each other.

Celia grinned, revealing her sparse teeth: "Luo Hong, I hope you have a nice day."

Luo Hong's nonchalant expression softened slightly, and his gaze shifted from Celia to Li Zhi. "One-time authorization? Is this your sincerity in inviting me?"

Li Zhi smiled sincerely: "If Senior Luo Hong would be willing to patronize my shop often, I would be even happier. Please."

She stretched out her hand, gesturing for someone to lead the way.

Luo Hong snorted coldly, retracted her sky-covering bone wings, and followed behind Li Zhi.

What you see outside the barrier and what you see inside the barrier are different.

Looking out from inside the barrier, everything is clear and transparent; looking in from outside the barrier, however, everything is blurry.

Therefore, the moment Luo Hong stepped into the barrier, she saw the shop rules at the entrance of the general store.

She paused, and her folded bone wings instantly opened. If Li Zhi hadn't jumped quickly, he would have been stabbed by the sharp bone spikes.

"Your rule... is quite interesting."

Luo Hong's bone wings retracted once again.

Her long fingernails lightly touched her cheek, and for the first time, her playful gaze formally fell on Li Zhi.

"Did your teacher teach you this, or did you come up with it yourself, specifically to counter space-based magic?"

Li Zhizheng shook his head with a righteous air: "Of course not, Senior Luo Hong, you misunderstand. I set this rule entirely to protect the customers who buy goods from my general store. As you know, if the use of weapons is prohibited, I will not be able to sell weapons, which will be very detrimental to the upgrading of my store."

Luo Hong didn't seem angry with Li Zhi; instead, she turned her gaze to Celia.

"Celia, you'd better look carefully for an item that can prolong your life, otherwise if you die, there will be no one to cover for your student's audacity and ability to cause trouble."

Celia smiled, still showing her teeth: "You don't need to worry about that. My disciple is favored by Emerald. Even if I'm not here, do you think you can harm her in the Emerald Mountains?"

Li Zhiye flashed a smile, revealing eight teeth: "Senior Luo Hong, please take a seat this way."

Luo Hong's lips were still curved in a smile. She walked past Li Zhi, without even glancing at the banquet on the other side, and went straight into the general store.

"Since it's a grand opening, people should naturally visit the store. What's the point of just sitting outside?"

As she walked in, some of the people inside tried to squeeze out, while others ran to the third floor.

He wasn't exactly trembling, but the tension and fear in his eyes were hard to hide.

If the hyenas hunt humans in the trial zone, causing humans to keep their distance from them, yet humans still dare to provoke them for money.

Therefore, the demon race would be a nightmare for humans.

The extreme cold has lasted for 14 days and will end in one more day.

But in those short 13 days, nearly 8 million people died.

At least one-third of them became breeding grounds for the Bloodthirsty Spirit.

The official team reports the number of Bloodthirsty Spirits killed in each region and the Dongqi region every day, and also keeps you updated on the methods to kill the Bloodthirsty Spirits, in an attempt to calm people's hearts.

But the numbers are dropping rapidly every day.

The sound of sharp claws scratching across wooden planks or the outside of a ship's cabin is no different from the sound of a key scraping a blackboard.

It left everyone with psychological trauma.

Some people filmed their compatriots being disemboweled, while others witnessed the death of their companions.

The shadow cast upon humanity by the bloodthirsty spirit is even greater than the extreme cold.

Some people's teeth chattered, and some people's eyes were filled with hatred.

Luo Hong didn't care. Her discerning gaze swept across the goods on the first floor, and in the end, all she saw was the pure velvet grass seed oil in the Tongtian Pillar.

"What is this?"

Li Zhi: "Fluorine oil".

Luo Hong: "One unit for one gold coin? Give me 50 units."

As she spoke, she casually tossed 50 gold coins to Li Zhi.

Bai Ge stepped forward, filled a container with 50 units of pure velvet grass seed oil, placed it in the prepared oil drum, and handed it to Luo Hong: "Thank you for your patronage."

Luo Hong narrowed her eyes and looked at the other humans in the general store, besides Li Zhi, for the first time.

She had short hair, a calm expression, and no fear or tension in her eyes.

With a flick of her finger, Luo Hong sent the oil drum into her other-dimensional space.

She looked at Li Zhi: "Your staff is good."

Li Zhi: "In my shop, not only are the shop assistants good, but my security team is also very good, as are the other employees; everyone is excellent."

Luo Hong chuckled, her long cloak billowed up, her bone wings unfurled, and in the next second she was already outside the barrier.

"Li Zhi, I received your invitation and I've arrived. I hope you'll dare to come next time I invite you."

She stepped into the black hole in mid-air.

Everyone inside and outside the barrier breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Ge and the official disguised as a guest exchanged a glance. She lowered her voice and said to Li Zhidao, "I'll go and handle the public opinion."

Li Zhi glanced at the players, who had recovered from their shock and now had various expressions on their faces, and nodded slightly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Bai Ge shook his head: "It's nothing, you've worked hard."

She strode over to a player who was taking out his control panel to take a picture, looking indignant, and whispered a few words to him.

The player was clearly displeased and raised his voice, saying, "You officials are biased towards three-star, five-cost characters! Just because she earns more money, you're ignoring the fact that she hosted a banquet for humanity's enemies? She's betraying all of humanity!"

Bai Ge's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to say something, the man opened his mouth and started gesturing wildly, but no sound came out.

Not only him, but all the players who were complaining or trying to use the panel to send messages that were unfavorable to Li Zhi at this moment were unable to make a sound.

The officials were momentarily stunned, but quickly sped up their efforts, negotiating with the players using incentives and agreements.

Li Zhi was not surprised by this scene.

What that person said just now couldn't sway her in the slightest.

She had considered this consequence when she was preparing to invite Luo Hong.

This was also one of the reasons why Bai Ge was chosen as a shop assistant.

Seeing how quickly Bai Ge and the officials handled the situation, I breathed a slight sigh of relief. I didn't expect the officials to have such a powerful figure who could silence so many people so easily.

Both their talent and skills are impressive.

It truly is a place where hidden talents abound.

Li Zhi mentally reassessed his assessment of the official forces' strength, but his expression remained unchanged as he walked towards the Shadow Mane Clan members who had just arrived.

I just sent them the commercial license; I didn't even have a chance to say welcome.

Hua Yan's head and body were already halfway inside.

Her voice was incredibly loud, and her face lit up with surprise: "My goodness! I've never seen so many adults of superior races gathered together in my life! I knew the leader we chose would have a bright future!"
