Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

All the Feathered Spirits watched this scene unfold.

No one believed that Li Zhi would refuse.

Inside the house, which was sealed off by the Feathered Spirit Clan, she had no chance to refuse.

Li Zhi turned to look at Yi: "I'm really curious, you didn't get this demonic blood from Luo Hong, did you? And the mark Luo Hong left on me disappeared a long time ago, how did you get my coordinates?"

"Does Luo Hong know that you have such a close connection with the demon race?"

Luo Hong is the daughter of the Demon King.

If Yi weren't also the sister of the Feather Spirit Emperor, their identities would have been magically offset.

The events of that year need to be decided, both high and low.

Li Zhi muttered to himself, "Luo Hong definitely didn't know before, but she'll find out soon."

Xu sneered, "How would she know?"

Yi's expression changed instantly, and he roared, "Seize her!"

The Feathered Spirit Clan guards and Ao simultaneously pounced on Li Zhi.

However, Li Zhi disappeared without warning, as if he had never been there at all.

Beast Market

Zhang Bai: "Boss, are you thirsty? Why are you drinking water all the time?"

Li Zhi's heart pounded, but his tone remained calm: "This is called Energy Treasure."

She steered the conversation back to the main point: "It's normal for there to be few visitors at the beginning. Orcs are poor to begin with, and the entrance fees we collect are already a significant portion of their living expenses. It's perfectly normal for them to be hesitant and observe the situation."

While signing the contract at the fruit store, she took the opportunity to go to the restroom.

Yi clearly harbored ill intentions, and Celia's plans were shrouded in mystery; Li Zhi couldn't possibly take the risk.

So I used the clone card back then.

The main body adjusted the cloak to level 5 and hid it in the high-altitude toilet, while the clone, just like before, put on a spatial button and went to find Yi in her original form.

Yesterday, when she used the clone card, she had already used up all the energy potions she had stockpiled. Fortunately, in the gift package that Minister Lin had given her before, in addition to the prop "Learner", there were also many high-end official items.

Examples include high-level energy potions, fruits and vegetables that increase attribute points, a D-grade bow and arrow, intermediate-level healing potions, external injury treatment devices, and compressed biscuits that quickly restore stamina.

Li Zhi was momentarily stunned by the specifications.

They thought the government had made a fortune.

Or perhaps the authorities have guessed that she is the richest person on the racial list and are trying to win her over by focusing on these details.

But the product is still useful.

Li Zhi has made the most of his resources these past two days, and his goodwill towards the government has soared. This was only because he used Bai Ge to warn the different factions within the government about the arbitrary stuffing of people into the Beast Market.

However, creating clones consumes too much mental energy.

Especially since the Beast Market and Feather Spirit Avenue are so far apart, my spirit points are dropping almost every second.

Fortunately, the energy potion can fully replenish her energy with just one sip, and only one of her clones or her main body needs to drink it to replenish her energy; otherwise, she would have to keep filling her thermos with water.

Zhang Bai didn't know what "Energy Treasure" was, and upon hearing this, he simply nodded, still somewhat worried: "But the orcs here are really too poor. I looked outside from the edge of the barrier earlier, and many orc children didn't even have a single piece of clothing, and they all looked malnourished..."

"Boss, we've got a customer."

Yan Gui knocked on the door and, after receiving Li Zhi's permission, came in.

"It seems to be a businessman from the southern district. His arm appears to have been torn off by something. Director Wang is currently preparing to operate on the patient, but the patient insists on seeing you."

Li Zhi: "See me?"

Yan Gui: "Yes."

Li Zhi stood up: "Then let's go take a look."

This is her territory, unlike the Feathered Spirit Clan's territory, she is absolutely safe here.

That's how I think it is.

Given that he had just been almost forced into a contract by Yi and Ao, Li Zhi checked his equipment and weapons again before going over.

Just as Yan Gui said.

The bison merchant's leg was severed at a very uneven point, clearly not from a cut by a sword or knife, but rather from a bite by a wild animal or a tear caused by immense force.

The merchant sat up instantly upon seeing Li Zhi: "Senior! My name is Jiali! I'll trade a message for permanent access to this safe trading zone, I—"

He lost too much blood and fainted halfway through his sentence.

Li Zhi frowned.

Yan Gui: "Boss, what are your orders?"

Li Zhi: "Take a thorough look at his body to see if there are any items from before, which can be used to offset medical expenses."

Yan Gui: "Huh? Oh."

She stepped forward hesitantly.

Seeing Li Zhi's matter-of-fact expression, he then began to rummage through the orc's body.

However, after searching high and low, they couldn't find anything of value. The only thing they could find was a cloth bag containing 1 silver and 19 copper coins, just enough to cover the entrance fee to the trading area.

Li Zhi: "Take his cloak off."

The wild geese returned obediently and did as instructed.

Li Zhi: "Take off that nose ring."

Yan Gui: "A nose ring?"

Li Zhi looked displeased.

Yan Gui immediately took it down.

After accepting the gifts, Li Zhi turned to Director Wang and politely nodded, "Director Wang, thank you for your trouble."

Director Wang: "...It's no trouble at all, you're the one who's been working hard."

Li Zhi left the emergency room with the items, but without checking what was in the other person's backpack, he sent Yan Gui to investigate the orc's origins.

Then he went back to his office on the fifth floor, opened the player panel, found Celia's avatar, and embellished his account of everything that had happened with Yi.

Li Zhi: [If I weren't clever and happened to have a clone device, your student would have become someone else's slave!]

Li Zhi: [Teacher, please tell me the truth, besides Luo Hong, do you also have a conflict with Yi? Otherwise, why would she dare to treat me like this? I'm your only student!]

Li Zhi: [Was her forcing me into a contract an insult? It's a complete slap in the face!]

Li Zhi: [She's not just looking down on you, she's provoking the Forging Clan!]

Li Zhi: [Our Forging Clan is at least an S-rank race, how could we be provoked by a mere A-rank Feathered Spirit!]

Li Zhi: [Teacher, I'm deeply troubled. I swear I will never forgive the Feathered Spirit Clan!]

Li Zhi sent the message using his mind.

Within almost thirty seconds, dozens of messages were sent out.

Celia: [Just tell me what you want]

Li Zhi: [I'm a scaredy-cat now. The slightest sound makes me think Yi is coming to get me. I just want some peace of mind. Teacher, how about you custom-make a mecha for me? The Forging Clan's mechas are the best!]

Celia: [Okay]

Li Zhi: !

She hadn't expected Celia to become so agreeable!

She was nothing like the Celia she knew.

What exactly did she do in those two hours this afternoon? How much money did she earn to agree to such a huge hemorrhage?

Even a B-grade mecha set costs much more than a B-grade equipment set, let alone a custom-made one.

The cost will not be less than 5000 gold.

Just as Li Zhi was pondering this, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Yan Gui pushed open the door, her tone somewhat anxious:

"Boss, the elders of the Lion Clan, Fox Clan, and Monkey Clan from the North District have all arrived. They want us to hand over the merchant who was just brought to the operating room."
