Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Ling: "My mother suddenly contacted me. I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you."

Li Zhi: "Oh, I'm not blaming you. I deliberately used eating as an excuse to get away from those people."

Ling: "I see."

Li Zhi noticed that she seemed a little down, but didn't press her for details. Instead, he said enthusiastically, "Since we've already agreed to have dinner, as a friend, it's not too much for you to treat me to a special dish of the Feathered Spirit Clan, is it?"

Ling: "That's how it should be. The Feathered Spirit Clan has many delicious foods, among which..."

As she spoke, she led Li Zhi toward a street next to Yu Ling Avenue. Before they had gone far, several Yu Ling people suddenly landed in front of Li Zhi and the others.

"Ling, is this your good friend? Does she know that you are despised even by the lowest commoners in the Feather Spirit Clan? Does she know that your existence is a disgrace to the entire royal family?"

The slight smile that had just appeared on Ling's face gradually disappeared.

"Yun, if you're trying to humiliate me this way, you should know it won't work."

The Feathered Spirit Clan member known as Yun sneered and said to Li Zhidao, "You're the lord who never forgets danger, right? I just listened to your speech. Your exchange is quite good, but if you let Ling replace the Feathered Spirit Clan as a shareholder of your exchange, I think the entire Feathered Spirit Clan will not recognize her identity or existence."

Li Zhi said calmly, "Your attempt to sow discord between me and Ling in this way will not have any effect. I know her best. Besides, what makes you think you can represent the entire Feather Spirit Clan? Just because you don't approve of her doesn't mean that the rest of the Feather Spirit Clan doesn't approve of her. At least I fully approve of her identity and existence."

Yun: "Do you really know who she is? She is...?"

"She is my friend, my business partner, and someone I trust."

"I don't need anyone to tell me what kind of person she is. I have my own judgment. Also, I will not change partners, no matter what you say."

Yun Qi was furious and glared at Li Zhi, as if he wanted to attack, but for some reason he held back and flew away with his gang of lackeys from where he came from.

Li Zhi turned his head. "Let's go. I want to eat the most distinctive food of your Feathered Spirit Clan. I heard that you grow a plant that can increase balance after eating it. Is that true?"

Ling nodded hesitantly: "It's true."

Li Zhi: "Then I must give it a try."

Ling: "But those are for children, and they don't taste very good."

Li Zhi: "Then you don't need to worry about it. I'll just treat it like medicine. Anything that can make me stronger is a good thing. You know how weak my combat power is. And have you heard that my bounty is already B-level? I seriously suspect that Xu will add money to it tonight and raise my bounty to A-level."

Ling was amused by her, "Don't worry, Xu won't, her allowance has been frozen by the Feather Spirit Emperor."

As she spoke, the smile on her lips faded again.

"The Feathered Spirit Clan not only has Bellflower to increase balance, but also other foods that increase other attributes. However, you can't eat them all at once, as your body might not be able to digest them. The trade fair is still 6 days away. I'll help you plan a menu so you can digest these foods to the maximum extent."

Li Zhi: "Then I hope for a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and a mix of delicious and not-so-delicious foods, so that when I think of the Feathered Spirit Clan's food in the future, it won't all be painful memories."

Ling: "What type of food do you like to eat?"

"Actually, I'm not too picky. I can eat anything, as long as it's not bitter. But then again, good medicine tastes bitter. If it's good for your health, it's okay if it's a little bitter."

"But I noticed you didn't eat anything at noon."

Li Zhi was taken aback, not expecting Ling to have noticed even that: "Yes... I wasn't hungry at the time."

Actually, using clones was too taxing. At first, I didn't have time and forgot about it. Later, after drinking three bottles of energy potion, my mental energy was full, and my stomach was full too.

Moreover, after listening to Duan's gossip and eating some snacks on the table, I no longer felt hungry.

Ling: "The equipment that scanned your body before showed that you were malnourished, often hungry, and had irregular meal times."

Li Zhi's attention was focused on his own attribute points, and he didn't notice the shrunken, unimportant information next to him at all.

Unexpectedly, Ling noticed it.

Li Zhi didn't seem to care much: "I'm quite busy and often forget to eat, but when I upgraded to D3, my body was basically completely repaired, so I don't feel uncomfortable when I'm hungry anymore."

She had low blood sugar when she was on Earth.

Although she is often so busy that she forgets to eat, her assistant and low blood sugar will remind her to eat whenever this happens.

After arriving in the Apocalypse Continent, her body was repaired due to the increase in her level, and her minor problem of low blood sugar was also cured. Therefore, there was no longer any opportunity to interrupt her work and remind her to eat.

Li Zhi also thought it was pretty good.

Ling: "Physical damage can actually affect overall growth. Level 3 is an opportunity for repair. You should seize this opportunity to treat your body better, instead of squandering it."

Her tone was very serious.

It reflects genuine concern and care.

Li Zhi was pleased with her concern and also happy that she was willing to break some boundaries and bring up personal topics like physical health with her.

This means that in Ling's heart, her importance has also increased significantly.

Li Zhi: "I will be careful."

She turned to look at Ling and naturally asked, "You don't seem very happy. Did something happen?"

Normally, when someone suddenly breaks through their previous boundaries, it often means they want to take the relationship with you to the next level. In this case, if you also take a step forward and break through some of the boundaries you previously adhered to, you can further bring yourself closer and solidify your relationship.

Li Zhi looked at Ling with concern.

Ling stopped, seemingly considering her words, and after a moment said, "My mother seriously discussed with me who the Feather Spirit Clan should make a shareholder in your exchange. She believes that my aunt Yi is the best choice."

Li Zhi nodded, indicating that he was listening attentively.

Ling: "She wants me to resign from my position as a shareholder of the exchange, so that I can put myself in the shoes of the Feathered Spirit Clan and your friend, and after careful consideration, persuade you to let Yi become a shareholder of the exchange."

"However, after careful consideration, I believe that I am the best choice for your exchange."

Ling looked into Li Zhi's eyes: "But in the short term, I cannot bring any benefits to the exchange, and may even cause trouble. I don't think I should let you and the other shareholders of the exchange share the trouble I bring. So, I will explain why choosing me is the best option, and then you can make the decision."

"No need to explain, I've said it before, from beginning to end, you were my first choice to open an exchange."

"The fact that you're the first person I think of proves that you're the best choice."
