Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

While playing the video, Li Zhi spent 5 copper coins to send an urgent message to Luo Hong using his mind.

Li Zhi: [If the Feather Spirit Emperor asks me if I told you about the traitors in your demon race, I will tell her I didn't. If anyone tests you, don't give yourself away.]

Luo Hong: [Why should I help you?]

Luo Hong: [I sent you so many messages and you didn't reply. Now that you do reply, you want my help?]

Li Zhi: [Help me or help yourself? Let Yu Linghuang and Yi think you don't know the traitor is also beneficial to you.]

Luo Hong: [But I'm glad it's bad for you.]

Li Zhi: [From now on, I will share all information about Yi with you]

Luo Hong: [Actually, even the Feathered Spirit Clan wouldn't dare to ask me, so your actions are unnecessary.]

Li Zhi: [Confidentiality Agreement]

Li Zhi: [If someone comes to ask you, you'll just say you've caught a Feathered Spirit Clan spy. You won't lose out in this deal.]

[Demon Luo Hong has signed a confidentiality agreement]

Yu Linghuang: "Have you already informed Luo Hong of the Demon Clan about this?"

Li Zhi replied honestly, "No."

Celia: "I know my student; she never lies."

Yu Linghuang's gaze didn't remain fixed on Li Zhi; he quickly turned to Celia: "Celia, I can agree to your conditions, but not because I believe your student won't lie, but because..."

"Thank you for keeping your promise all these years."

Celia's aged face drooped, and her tone instantly turned much gloomy: "No need for all this talk. This is the contract I've prepared. Just sign it."

With a gentle tap of her scepter, the contract was in her hands.

She didn't sign it directly, but read it word by word before signing her name.

10 gold coins were deposited into the public business account established by Celia and Li Zhi.

Even after leaving the castle, Li Zhi still found it hard to believe that things had gone so smoothly.

However, she could also deduce from Celia and the Feather Spirit Emperor's conversation that the Feather Spirit Emperor and Celia must have had a past relationship, and that the Feather Spirit Emperor had most likely done something extremely wrong to Celia, otherwise she wouldn't be able to compromise with Celia about this matter today.

Li Zhi: "Teacher, did you know Yu Linghuang before?"

Celia glanced at Li Zhi: "Didn't you hear Duan Chuan tell stories of my youth on Feather Spirit Avenue? Didn't she tell you that Xuan was also one of the second-generation figures who traveled with me back then?"

Li Zhi was astonished, but he also grasped a clue and realized the truth.

"She really didn't say."

"But teacher, Duan said you lied to others, so shouldn't you be feeling guilty in front of others, like Sister Mingchun? How come Yulinghuang feels guilty when she sees you? What exactly happened back then?"

Celia: "Trying to get information out of me?"

Li Zhi said matter-of-factly, "Well, I just want to know more about your connections so I can use them whenever I need them."

Celia: "It's no use knowing. This is the only useful connection I have, and I just used it."

She stopped and looked up at the colorful clouds gathering on the horizon.

Li Zhiye followed Celia's gaze and saw the Feathered Spirits flying among the colorful clouds, seemingly celebrating something.

"It seems to be over in the central square."

Celia: "Let's go take a look."

At least two kilometers from the central square, groups of merchants had already gathered.

The further Li Zhi walked, the more bustling the scene ahead became.

But as they approached the Feather Spirit Avenue, the Feather Spirit guards stopped Li Zhi and Celia.

"Please show your merchant level. Only merchants of level 8 or above are allowed to enter."

But they no longer need to go inside.

Because Yi's voice came clearly: "...This 1% share is not a small amount. You can imagine that after the exchange is established, merchants of different races, weapon masters, sewing masters, and other professionals can store their latest research and development results on the exchange, which is both a display and a new way of trading..."

"Starting bid: 1 gold coins. Auction begins now."

Li Zhidu laughed in anger.

As expected of Yi.

It truly does not disappoint.

Yesterday, she guessed that the reason she was forced to reveal the entire process and operation of the exchange was because she wanted to build her own exchange.

But I never expected her to be so efficient.

Given her status as the organizer and host of the trade conference, she should have already found shareholders who are interested in cooperating.

Within the inner circle, protected by the Feathered Spirit Clan guards, many merchants were bidding fiercely. After Li Zhi and Celia had been standing there for a while, the 1% share had already been auctioned off for 3 gold coins.

Celia looked at Li Zhi: "What are you planning to do?"

Li Zhi: "Will the Feather Spirit Emperor really promote her 10 gold coins?"

Celia: "She's in poor health and rarely goes out. She sees at most a dozen people a day. How could she let everyone know that she gave you 10? If you want people to know, you have to spread the word yourself."

Li Zhi: "That suits me perfectly."

She glanced at Yi, who was smugly presiding over the auction, then her eyes darted around and she suddenly spotted the Three Dragons of the Vast Sea hiding in the crowd, watching the spectacle.

Cang Su held Cang Lian in her arms, while Cang Lian ate food in her hands, completely absorbed in eating.

Li Zhi produced a lollipop in his hand, allowing Celia to hide in the crowd while he appeared in front of Cang Hai and the others.

"I didn't expect to see so many of them..."

Just as she was about to take out the lollipop, Cang Lian grabbed her arm.

"The black one! I want the black, slippery thing!"

Li Zhi was taken aback and looked at the vast sea.

Canghai: "You gave her some snacks before, and she really liked one of the black, blocky snacks. She just finished it today and still wants more. I was just about to come find you. Do you have any more of that snack?"

Li Zhi: "Of course there are."

She took out a piece of chocolate and placed it in Cang Lian's hand.

"Eat up, there's more if you need it."

As she spoke, she took out two more pieces and placed them on Cang Lian's body.

Cang Lian immediately put it into his spatial necklace, and then eagerly waited for Li Zhi to take out the fourth piece.

Li Zhi was somewhat embarrassed: "These are all the pieces I have left."

Cang Lian was stunned, turned to look at Cang Hai, and his mouth gradually opened wide.

Canghai pinched her mouth shut.

"Is it really over? Is it over today or over in the future? Don't say that, if she doesn't get tired of the food she loves, she'll tear down the whole dragon's lair."

Li Zhi said apologetically, "Although this is food for humans, it's actually food that we could only produce in our previous world. What I have is all I have. Others may have more, but it would be very difficult to find in such a vast world..."

Cang Lian shoved Cang Hai's hand away and began writhing on Cang Su's body. Judging from the curve of her open mouth and the clearly visible tonsils in her throat, one could tell that she was about to let out a deafening wail.

Canghai threw a silencing magic stone over.

"Even if it's hard to find, I'll still help you look. Money is not a problem; I can provide funding. Just name your budget."

Li Zhi sighed with difficulty: "It's not a matter of money. In fact, I'm also preparing to organize a caravan to collect food and inventions from my previous world, but as you should have seen..."

She looked at Yi, who was being auctioned off, with a forlorn expression.

"As a newly emerging race, we already face immense difficulties. Without the strength to deter other races, why would any caravan be willing to risk offending the Feathered Spirit Clan and work for us?"

So, I can only disappoint you.
