Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Li Zhi traveled 30 li south from the northern part of the Hundred Beasts Market.

It just so happens to have entered the area of ​​the South District.

Her opening a hospital and selling weapons in the North District doesn't mean she won't explore other areas.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

Besides, the task is to achieve a turnover of 100 gold in the Beast Market, but it doesn't say that you have to achieve a turnover of 100 gold at a fixed stall in the Beast Market.

Isn't her setting up a stall in the South District also part of the revenue stream?

Diversifying risk provides security.

While teleporting, she adjusted the level of the cheat cloak to professional level 3, and at the same time instructed the magician to wear the mask she gave him and wander around near Soma Ghost Market, preferably making some noise so that everyone would think she was in Soma Ghost Market.

However, it takes time for the news to arrive.

Therefore, when Li Zhi appeared on the streets of the South District, he was still questioned by a group of beastmen guards.

However, a level 3 merchant is considered a high-level merchant among the orcs, so although the guards were questioning him, they did not force Li Zhi to remove his hood.

She was only asked to pay a "stall fee" of 1 silver coin.

The south and north of the Beast Market are completely different.

If the North is a third-tier slum, then the South is a modern second- or third-tier city.

Although there are no high-rise buildings, the planning of transportation and the division of trading areas and residential areas are full of modernity.

Above Li Zhi's head, aerial trains shuttled back and forth. On the road beside him, there were all kinds of vehicles. Further up, there were docking points for airships and spaceships, with transparent elevators to guide merchants and passersby up and down.

On the streets, below residential areas, and next to parks, every shop is brightly lit, has running water and electricity, and its shelves are neatly arranged.

The park also features a free-stall area where vendors sell snacks, ingredients, and clothing, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

If it weren't for the fact that the beastmen coming and going all had ears and tails, and if it weren't for the fact that the aerial train above could travel freely without tracks, Li Zhi would almost have thought he had returned to Earth.

She walked up to a stall at random.

This was a raccoon-like beastman who was drinking honey while looking at the panel projected from his bracelet, laughing so hard his stomach was bobbing up and down.

When Li Zhi approached, he merely glanced at him casually and said, "Take a look."

The relaxed attitude reflects the absolute safety and trustworthiness of this place.

Li Zhi thought of what Yin Su and the others had said: the most prosperous area of ​​the Beast Market is comparable to Beast City, and the shops there sell good things that are not available in the Wilderness Market.

The difference between the north and the south is surprisingly large.

Her gaze swept over the posters in the store.

The golden-winged spirits soared through the air, while below, orcs prostrated themselves, offering various animal meats, fruits, gold, and silver.

Li Zhi took out an ear of corn, handed it to the raccoon beastman, and asked with a smile, "This is the fruit grown from the seeds I just found. I don't know if I can sell it here. I'd like to ask you to take a look."

The raccoon-like beastman glanced at the corn, twitched its nose, reached out and took it, then started munching on it.

After taking just two bites, his eyes lit up.

"What is this? It's so delicious?!"

"I named this thing Golden Rice. Look at its color, it's golden, like a gold coin. It tastes so delicious too. Do you think Golden Rice has a market?"

"Absolutely!" The raccoon-orc devoured a corn cob in no time, then, still wanting more, searched Li Zhi's body: "You can sell them to me! I'm willing to pay 5 copper coins, no! 10 copper coins each!"

Li Zhi smiled and offered him another ear of corn: "How could I let you pay? You just need to give the younger generation some pointers, let them know the proper way to do business here, and make sure they don't break any taboos."

The raccoon beastman continued to gnaw without any hesitation.

"(chewing) Doing business, not to mention anything else (chewing) at least Jinmi will be easy to sell (chewing) but if you sell other things (chewing) I don't know."

The raccoon beastman finished another one and looked at Li Zhi expectantly.

Li Zhiye smiled and met his gaze.

The raccoon beastman withdrew his gaze in disappointment: "The southern district of the Beast Market is full of merchants from other places, selling all kinds of things. But if you want to know what sells best, it's definitely the rarest things here: potions, medicines, and weapons. If you can find a few items or equipment with attribute points, you won't have to worry about selling them."

"But as a senior, let me give you a heads-up: some things you might earn but not live to spend. If you run a small business, someone will protect your safety. But if you do a big business that hinders other people's business, you might run into danger."

Li Zhi looked puzzled: "If medicines and weapons are so rare, then the market will never be saturated, and everyone can make money. Why would there be malicious competition?"

Raccoon-man: "What do you mean by 'full' or 'not full'? They're a family business, and whether they have enough or not, they're the first place people think of when they want to buy something. It's an exclusive business; they can ask for any price and people will buy it. What would you do if you went there?"

Li Zhi looked like he was being taught a lesson, and handed over another ear of corn: "I see... I see... There are so many twists and turns. I've only just reached level 3 and I don't know anything. I don't have any elders in my family who are businessmen to guide me. I hope you can give me some pointers."

The raccoon-like beastman immediately put the corn to his mouth, but hesitated for a moment and then stuffed it back into the cupboard.

"You're not trying to sell grain, are you? You're giving me so much of this rare food, aren't you afraid of losing out? Let me show you a way out: don't touch weapons, equipment, or tools. Everything else is fine, you can still make some money."

Li Zhi hesitated, pausing several times before finally speaking, "Senior, it's not that I don't trust you. Actually, I asked another senior before, and he said that if I could get my hands on equipment and weapons, that would be the only way to make money. He also said that if I could send the weapons to the north, I could make an even bigger fortune!"

She looked on with anticipation: "That senior told me that there was a war in the north yesterday! The monkey-tribe orcs blew up a large area with bombs. If I could bring some weapons there, I'd definitely be in high demand!"

"What does he know!" The raccoon-orc sat up straight, his voice so agitated that he spat saliva onto the counter. "The north is full of shaman-brainwashed bastards! They fight all the time! They even eat their own people! If you, an outsider, go in, you'll be eaten alive, leaving not even bones!"

"You're also selling weapons?"

"Do you know where those monkey-tribe orcs got their weapons?"

Li Zhi looked blank: "I don't know..."

"They robbed a merchant who had been tricked into doing business in the north!"
