Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

After the meal, Li Zhi found Chang Ling.

She got straight to the point: "I run a hospital in the Beast Market, and they need someone I trust. I'd like to transfer you there, and you'll also become a subject of the Unforgettable Vigil. What do you think?"

Chang Ling blurted out, "Then wouldn't I have directly completed the task of becoming a dependent citizen?"

She nodded eagerly and said, "Of course it's great! If Sheng Sheng knew that I became your subject first, she would be incredibly envious. However... I'm very happy to be with everyone here, and now that I have to part with everyone, I feel a little sad and a little scared."

Li Zhi: "Being sent to the Beast Market is considered an overseas assignment. There will be a stipend for overseas assignments, and teleportation stones are one of them. You will stay there for at least two weeks, receiving two teleportation stones per week. You can come back whenever you have free time."

"Very good!"

Chang Ling agreed, and Li Zhi arranged to meet her at noon the next day. After saying goodbye to the others, he returned to the spaceship.

I woke up from a nap.

Li Zhi was not in a hurry to go to Yuling Avenue.

She ate breakfast slowly, exercised her body according to the method taught by Master Hao, and then went to inspect the grocery store.

Back on the airship, he lay in bed and sent a message to Shadow.

Li Zhi: [Did Celia go to see Sister Mingchun?]

Shadow: [Not yet.]

Li Zhi: [Did you try to persuade your sister for me?]

Shadow: [Celia isn't coming, and my attempts to persuade her are useless.]

Li Zhi: [Then I'll ask you to help me choose the most suitable address for the exchange. Have you made a choice yet?]

Shadow: [Three positions.]

Shadow: [A station next to a high-speed train station. Its advantage is high passenger flow, but its disadvantage is a mixed crowd.]

Shadow: [One located in the Holy Shadow Trading Area. Its advantage is that it's right inside the trading area, but its disadvantage is that it's small and relatively remote compared to other shops in the trading area.]

Shadow: [A street between the trading district and Saint Shadow University. Its advantages are a balance of quiet and bustling activity; its disadvantages are its large size and expensive land.]

Along with the message, the location maps of the three locations in Saint Shadow City were also marked.

Li Zhi immediately ruled out locations next to the train station.

Exchanges involve large-scale fund transfers and trade secrets, thus requiring a high level of security and privacy.

A crowded and chaotic environment not only poses safety risks but also appears noisy and low-end, which is inconsistent with the rigorous and professional tone of an exchange.

Then shops in small and remote trading areas were excluded.

A small area severely limits the exchange's hardware facilities, and its remote location also means a lack of commercial influence from a prime location, which is not conducive to attracting customers.

Based on the map and the description of the shadow, the best option is the street between Saint Shadow University and the Trading District.

The bustling atmosphere ensures a vibrant business environment and accessibility for potential clients, while the quiet environment provides traders with a private and focused space for transactions and negotiations.

Being adjacent to Saint Shadow University means having access to Saint Shadow University professionals, potential young investors, or academic resources. Perhaps in the future, there's even the possibility of collaborating with the university to conduct financial training or establish scholarship programs, thus enhancing the exchange's reputation.

The large size is not a disadvantage for the exchange; on the contrary, it provides ample space for future expansion, such as large trading halls, VIP client rooms, data centers, and office areas.

While land acquisition increases initial costs, expensive locations often indicate strong financial backing, which helps enhance the exchange's credibility.

However, relying solely on map analysis is never accurate enough; the final decision must be made by visiting the site in person.

Ying also agreed with Li Zhi's choice: [This piece of land is very sought after. You'd better get Celia to persuade my sister as soon as possible, otherwise you might not be able to get this land.]

Li Zhi directly sent a screenshot of this conversation to Celia.

Celia: [Don't rush me]

Li Zhi raised an eyebrow, then sent Ying a screenshot of Celia's reply and asked, "[Weren't you and your sister searching for treasure with Celia back then? Why is your sister so angry, but you seem to have no objections?]"

Shadow: [To find out, you need to buy 10 messages.]

Li Zhi: [Never mind then, just send me the information for those people I sent you yesterday. I'm about to head to Yuling Avenue.]

Shadow: [The trade fair is still 6 days away, why are you going so early?]

Li Zhi: [Viewing the exhibition.]

Li Zhi used the teleportation stones distributed to each participant at the trade fair to teleport to Yuling Avenue.

Head straight to the exhibition area closest to her.

This is an equipment display area.

Li Zhi saw the legendary complete set of S-class equipment among them.

Although the complete attributes were not displayed, just seeing the rough attribute range was enough to amaze her and make her eyes light up.

If she could wear such an outfit, she would never have to run away again if she encountered Shen and Luo Hong.

The equipment area is very large.

There are 16 exhibition areas just for the sets, and then there are different exhibition areas for clothes, pants, jewelry, hats, capes and so on with various attributes.

Besides clothing, the equipment section also includes a space equipment section, a magic equipment section, and so on.

Li Zhi had been browsing the entire equipment exhibition area from morning until noon, but he had only seen less than a tenth of it.

She was engrossed in studying the equipment attributes and the benefits and debuffs between different attributes when she accidentally bumped into someone.

Li Zhi: "Sorry, it was an accident..."

She stopped speaking and stared intently at the two people in front of her.

One of them was Fushan, whom I met yesterday; she had long, snow-white hair that trailed on the ground.

One of them was Li Lingjun, whom Li Zhi never expected to meet here.

Li Lingjun: "Be careful when you walk."

The apology on Li Zhi's face vanished instantly: "I usually pay attention to my surroundings when I walk. You bumped into me on purpose, didn't you?"

She was somewhat surprised when she bumped into the person.

—Those who come to Feather Spirit Avenue are basically people she can't afford to offend. In addition, she has a bounty on her. No matter how attractive the equipment is, it's not as important as her life. How could she not pay attention to her surroundings at all?

The problem is that one second there's no one there, and the next second you bump into someone.

In that instant, she didn't think much. Whether the other party did it on purpose or by coincidence, it was always right for the weaker party to apologize first.

But the moment I saw Li Lingjun.

Li Zhi knew it must have been intentional.

But how did Li Lingjun end up with Fushan?

Li Zhi had a few thoughts, but they faded away as soon as they surfaced.

She nodded slightly to Fushan: "Senior Fushan."

Fu Shan said gently, "I've heard about you for a long time and have always wanted to meet you. I wonder if you have time to treat me to a meal."

Li Zhi replied obediently, "Senior Fushan, if there's a chance, I'd really like to have a meal with you, but I have an appointment with my teacher at noon and other things to do this afternoon, so I really don't have time."

Fu Shan's tone remained gentle: "Your sister said you wouldn't agree to have dinner with me, but based on my observation, you shouldn't refuse me. It seems your sister understands you best."

Li Zhi: "You've misunderstood. I really have something to do. If I hadn't already promised my teacher, I would also love to have dinner with you. Perhaps, how about this? I'll add you on the phone, and when we both have time, I'll invite you to try the food from our Blue Star at Buwangwei."
