Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The moment Hua Yan entered, the entire space instantly became lively.

Although she only had two Shadowmane Clan members with her, the moment these three started talking, it was as if hundreds of Shadowmane Clan members were chatting.

This attracted the attention of people both inside and outside the barrier, who all looked in this direction.

Li Zhi smiled and led Hua Yan in, passing through different customers, into another small banquet hall of 100 square meters.

Celia, Shen, and Ling were all seated at this moment. Although they were not speaking, there seemed to be no tension between them.

New Zealand was enjoying a meal with the Bull Tribe members, and they seemed quite content.

Silverspeed and Ashi were at the other end of the table, along with the fox clan member who kept his head down fiddling with his bracelet; they all seemed very well-behaved.

When Li Zhi brought Hua Yan in, Hena, He Dong, Feng Aotian, and others also followed Ou Huang and the others in.

Bai Ge, along with officials and others, were outside maintaining order and serving customers.

Li Zhi glanced at the time and looked outside the barrier.

People came and went on the lawn, gathering together to chat and eat the buffet.

Orcs of various races who had come from the trial area were also among them. Although they were clearly separated, no conflict had occurred.

All of this is inseparable from Bai Ge, Duihao Ruzuo, and the official personnel mixed among these humans.

When Li Zhi looked away, he suddenly paused and saw a small tree whose roots were embedded in the stream, drinking water and playing in it.

A tall figure stood beside the sapling, also dressed in a merchant's cloak, his face obscured.

As if sensing Li Zhi's gaze, she turned her head and looked over.

Although that gaze was very calm.

But Li Zhi felt that she would definitely be able to see through the barrier's blurry vision and fully see the scene inside.

A smile played on her lips as she silently mouthed, "The food and drinks here are all specialties of the new race, and the same goes for everything inside. You can take whatever you want; it's not considered stealing."

The person under the cloak froze.

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he quickly turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as she lifted her leg, she saw another beat-up truck, besides the Silver Speed, huffing and puffing as it rolled over her lawn.

The car door slammed open, and Mi, dressed smartly, jumped out.

He glanced around, saw the lively scene on the lawn, his beard twitched, and when he saw Li Zhi striding quickly through the barrier, he immediately smiled with flattery: "Boss, why did you come in person..."

Li Zhi's voice was forced out through clenched teeth: "You ruined my lawn!"

Even when Silverspeed's armored vehicles stopped, they always stopped on the snow.

The rice was actually crushed directly onto her lawn!

There grew her favorite wildflower!

The man with the rice beard trembled violently: "Ah... um, boss, I, I don't know."

Li Zhi: "I'll deduct 100 gold from your salary!"

Mi exclaimed in disbelief, "100 gold coins?!"

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes: "Don't think I don't know how much bribe you've taken by helping people get loans in secret at the Wilderness Market these past few days. I've noticed you've become quite bold in lending money lately."

Mi's trembling beard stiffened. "Boss, I... let me explain..."

Li Zhi: "I can tolerate my subordinates using some flexible methods to profit for the company and themselves, but my bottom line is that they can make money without killing, and they can't have a negative impact on the company, let alone affect the company's interests. Otherwise, however much you take in, I'll make you return it all with interest. Do you understand?"

Mi was so nervous he almost plucked out his last remaining beard. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but was still on the verge of tears: "I understand, boss, but I only accepted a bribe of 1 gold, 25 silver, and 11 copper..."

Li Zhi remained expressionless.

Mi no longer dared to defend herself: "I understand, boss. I won't do it again, really."

Li Zhi glanced at him, his gaze lingering on the water for a moment, before his tone returned to normal: "Just move the car a bit and then we'll go in."

Mi Rumeng was granted a general amnesty.

After moving the car, I didn't dare say another word and went inside immediately.

Li Zhi squatted down beside the crushed wildflowers. Seeing that its roots and stems were completely destroyed and its petals were scattered in the mud, he gently dug out the petals and placed them in the nearby lake. He then scooped some water from the lake and poured it on the flowers.

"You've survived the harsh winter, so I believe you have the ability to rise from the ashes. Drink plenty of water, and when the extreme cold passes and spring arrives, I will come to see you again."

She clapped her hands, stood up, and left without looking back.

Beneath the surface, a shadow stirred ripples before sinking back to the bottom, disappearing without a trace.

Li Zhi was watering the flowers, while the customers eating at the buffet outside were secretly peeking at him.

Someone whispered gossip: "So many people, so many races, and that shop that's supposed to be a general store but is actually no different from a shopping mall, what's the deal with this 3-star 5-cost character? Aren't we supposed to start from the same starting line? It feels like she just parachuted into the finish line."

Some people privately discussed: "Samsung Wufei is definitely the most successful human merchant in Dongqi. Maybe she will enter the race rankings when the rankings are refreshed this time. Now is the best time to befriend her."

Some people were anxious: "Didn't you say you'd sell guides when you opened? Why haven't they gone on sale yet?"

Many others exclaimed, "With such people leading the way, humanity's future doesn't seem so bleak."

Besides humans, other races who came from the Trial Zone and the Artisan Town to join in the fun were equally shocked by what happened today.

"The new race has only been here for less than a month, how come they already know so many advanced races? This is the first time in my life I've ever seen a living S-rank."

"She was able to obtain the heart of a strong person, so she must be one of the strongest among the new races. What's so strange about her having such an opportunity? I'm just curious whether she will participate in the centennial ranking three years from now or redistribute her territory and race by breaking through the racial limit to the free race level."

"Do you think all those people who got inside are friends of Samsung and 5-star employees? It's only been a few days! She's really good at making friends!"

There were also undercover agents hidden among them, each sending messages to their superiors:

"Inform the councilor that in addition to being on good terms with the Forging Clan, Samsung Wufei is also closely associated with the Feathered Spirit Clan and the Scale Clan. Furthermore, the Shadow Mane Clan has already recognized her as their master. She truly lives up to her reputation as a strong person and has the potential to become the leader of a clan. Therefore, we should raise the level of importance we place on her."

"Please report to the Earl that the new race, with its three stars and five costs, has been confirmed to be a level 3 merchant. The class change path is currently unknown and requires further investigation."

"Please report..."

Li Zhi, draped in a black cloak, weaved through the crowd of people with their own thoughts, heading towards her territory.
