Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

After the projection of the Feathered Emperor disappeared, the central square was filled with excitement.

Many Feathered Spirit Clan merchants were eager to participate in Yi's auction.

Merchants from other races, who had been hesitant, became determined and spontaneously reorganized the previously interrupted auction.

Yi gave Li Zhi a disdainful smile.

The auction below will be resumed.

Li Zhi stopped in his tracks when he saw Ling rushing towards them.

Then, it spread its silver wings and flew towards her.

Canghai: "This must be Ling, right? The Feather Spirit Emperor only has this one child with silver wings."

Li Zhi: "Yes, she is also one of the shareholders of the exchange."

Hearing their conversation, Ling politely bowed to Canghai, then handed a lunchbox to Li Zhi: "Today's food is to increase agility and physique."

Canglian started making a fuss as soon as she heard the word "food".

Seeing that she was about to roll around again, Canghai pressed her down.

"You've tried all the delicious food of the Feathered Spirit Clan, have you forgotten? The only things that increase attribute points are fruits, leaves, and insects!"

Cang Lian stood up instantly.

Li Zhi: "..."

She opened it and saw that Canghai was absolutely right.

"Lord Canghai, our Earl would like to invite you to participate in the auction as well."

A Feathered Spirit Clan guard flew over.

Without a second thought, Canghai replied, "She has plenty of shareholders, and the Feathered Spirit Clan doesn't have what I want, so I won't go."

Li Zhi landed on the ground before his flight card expired.

Yi was still auctioning when Ao slowly walked over.

"Ling, I thought you would have become more capable after your previous mistakes, but I didn't expect you to find an outsider to compete with the Feather Spirit Clan's own business. It's really disappointing."

Ling lowered her eyes: "Your Highness."

They only called out to people, without arguing.

Ao sneered and looked at Li Zhi: "I underestimated you, but you were lucky yesterday. We didn't expect you to use a clone to keep the appointment. You may not be so lucky in the future."

Li Zhi: "I've already managed to comprehend the heart of a strong person by sheer luck. I think this incredible luck should stay with me forever."

Ao's face turned pale instantly.

She didn't look at Li Zhi, but at Ling.

"You didn't find enough cloud ore until almost the end of yesterday, yet you still have time to come here to see your friends today. I suppose we didn't assign you enough tasks. Today we'll double the workload. If you can't find it, we'll have your former teammates find it for you."

Ling: "Yes."

Li Zhi then realized that Ling hadn't replied to messages because she had been sent to find the cloud mine.

Ling Chuanyin and Li Zhidao said goodbye and quickly left the place.

Looking at her back, Li Zhicai noticed that she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, perhaps she hadn't rested at all last night.

Ao: "There are different levels of the Heart of the Strong. Even if you, a D-level race, comprehend the Heart of the Strong, you can only reach C-level. But I was born at A-level. You need to comprehend it twice more to stand on the same starting line as me, while I only need one time to stand directly at the top of the racial level."

Li Zhi covered his mouth, looking surprised: "Wow? So you only need to comprehend the Heart of a Strongman once to reach the top of your race's level? How old are you again? 28? You've been in the Apocalypse Continent for 28 years and still haven't comprehended the Heart of a Strongman! I comprehended the Heart of a Strongman in less than 28 days since I came to the Apocalypse Continent. If I calculate it, in two more 28-day periods, I might be on the same level as you~"

The relationship between her and Ao, whether because of what happened before or because of Ling, has no chance of getting better.

Li Zhi simply started laughing openly.

She let out a sarcastic laugh: "Your Highness, you'd better work harder. Don't wait another 28 years and still not catch up with me. I'll be too embarrassed to even look at you then."

Ao Faqing's face flushed red.

She has probably never been provoked like this in her entire life.

"Feathered Spirit Guard! Give her to me—"

Li Zhi: "Teacher~"

Celia glanced at the Feathered Spirit Guards who had surrounded her, then walked straight to Li Zhi's side: "Didn't you say you were coming back to Melting City with me?"

"Oh yeah! I'd forgotten."

She grinned at Ao: "You can ask me for a more detailed guide to the Heart of a Strongman next time, but don't use such un-strongman-like methods, or I'm afraid you'll never comprehend the Heart of a Strongman in your entire life~"

She waved and followed Celia, swaggering away.

Celia's spaceship is already docked at the port.

As soon as Li Zhigang boarded the ship, his smile vanished instantly. "Teacher, I still need to go to Soma Ghost Market first. The person who imprints talents is there."

Celia didn't even lift her eyelids: "Are you unhappy?"

Li Zhi: "I wouldn't say I'm unhappy, I just feel a bit bored."

She found a large rock in Celia's suite and lay down.

Will the Feathered Spirit Clan really achieve an S-rank rating in this century-long evaluation?

Celia: "No one can say for sure that it will not be the last day of the century."

Li Zhi: "Then why are they so arrogant?"

Celia looked at Li Zhi: "You deserve some credit for this."

Li Zhi sat up: "Me?"

Celia: "Before you conspired with the Rock Nest Clan to collect Apocalypse Dust, how could the Feathered Spirit Clan, who practically dominated the shallow airspace above districts 1 to 5000 of Eastern Apocalypse, not know?"

Li Zhi glanced at Celia's expression.

She chuckled, "I didn't expect you to know even this, teacher."

Celia said calmly, "Of course I know that the destination of raw materials and stones, whether in the sky or on the ground, cannot escape the eyes of merchants and whisperers. It's just that you were unknown before and no one paid attention to you, which allowed you to succeed that time. Of course, I don't deny that you did it secretly and unexpectedly enough, but now you are under the attention of many parties and need to be more careful in your actions."

Li Zhi: "Understood."

Celia looked up at Li Zhi: "I'm not just talking about professions, but also other things. This world is completely different from yours. There are many ways you can't even imagine to find out a person's secrets. If you want to hide something, you have to use 12% of your meticulousness and wisdom to hide it. Don't let anyone catch any clues related to your secrets."

Li Zhi saw it in Celia's eyes.

Her deep green eyes had turned a cloudy gray, but her gaze seemed to have seen through everything.

--secret.

She has too many secrets.

None of them could let anyone know.

Li Zhi's hair stood on end.

She had a feeling that Celia already knew all her secrets.

Li Zhi: "But teacher, should I also keep this from you?"

She stared directly at Celia, trying to see what else was in her eyes.

Celia: "You know the answer yourself, and you've always done a great job."
