Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

The magician is still unconscious.

Li Zhi left her in Rongcheng.

Fortunately, everyone knows she's on Feather Spirit Avenue these days, so there's no need for a stand-in to impersonate her.

After saying goodbye to Celia, Li Zhi teleported back to the spaceship, found Silver Speed's avatar among the messages (there was no chat history between them), and sent him a message.

Li Zhi: [I've run into some trouble at the Beast Market. I was wondering if I could arrange a chat with you and Ashi.]

SilverSpeed ​​replied after about two minutes: [Okay.]

Li Zhi: [Is Yaxi still in the Seventh Trial Zone? What about you? Is it convenient for you to come and stay?]

Silverspeed: [She's there, and I'm near the Emerald Mountains too. I'll be right there.]

Li Zhi stepped out of the airship and stood on the mountain peak looking down. He could see rows of wooden houses built along the stream.

The wooden houses don't overshadow the main attraction; the pointed little houses, painted in different colors, are neither too far apart nor too close, dotting the rolling hills and the banks of the stream, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere.

When Li Zhiyi appeared, the greedy pass was seen.

She stood on the third-floor terrace of the grocery store and waved to Li Zhi: "Sanwu! You're back!"

Li Zhiye waved.

Turning my head, I saw the busy workers and customers all looking this way.

"It's a 3-star, 5-cost card!"

"Finally, we saw one alive!"

"The new leaderboard won't be out for long, do you think a three-star, five-cost unit can make it onto the race leaderboard?"

Amidst the murmurs and stares of the crowd, Li Zhi entered the general store, surveyed the shop, and seeing that everything was running smoothly, went up to the third floor.

Greedy Pass brought all the tables, chairs, and outdoor sofas from the terrace at the cloud mine, and arranged them on the third floor of the general store's terrace in a manner almost identical to those there.

"Sanwu, you're back just in time. We were just discussing resuming cloud mining."

"Yeah, boss, I've been resting for two days. I feel guilty about not working and getting paid. I can't even sleep well at night."

The "Survivalist" pass: "You were sleeping soundly, yet you were snoring."

He took it personally: "...That's because I was too tired from guarding the arena in the trial area during the day!"

Li Zhi asked curiously, "You're sharing a room?"

Greedy for Life pass: "Yeah, there aren't many rooms in the villa. I was originally going to share a room with my sister, but Shishi couldn't stand Ruzuo's snoring, and she also had to defend her title and needed to get a good night's sleep, so I ended up sharing a bedroom with Ruzuo."

He touched his short, stubble-covered hair and said, "I'm just too tired. There are so many people in the trial area these past few days, all kinds of races. I've been guarding the arena for 12 hours straight, and that's why I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed."

Li Zhi teased her, "Then why did you say you couldn't sleep well?"

"Falling asleep and sleeping soundly are not the same thing! Sleeping soundly means I always feel like I can't enter deep sleep. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I always feel like I haven't slept at all when I do sleep."

Li Zhi then noticed that the usually energetic and vibrant Li Zhi had indeed become somewhat pale.

She said, "I'll have Zhang Bai come back and take a look at you later."

He dismissed it as fact: "I just didn't sleep well. Teleportation stones are expensive, don't waste them."

Li Zhi: "Giving it to you is not a waste. If Zhang Bai can't cure it, just tell me and I'll try to find other solutions to determine if it's because you're too tired or something else."

There are too many skills and professions in the Apocalypse Continent. No one can guarantee that matching one's own skill to another's will prevent one from falling victim to a spell. Li Zhide ruled out that possibility.

GreedyPass suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Sanwu, those werewolf beastmen who came to the opening ceremony are here again!"

Li Zhi: "I was the one who made the appointment with her."

Li Zhi walked to the edge of the terrace and, sure enough, saw Yin Su.

Yashi was standing next to her; the two had come together.

Yin Su and Ya Xi also saw Li Zhi.

Li Zhi waved and went downstairs to meet them.

"We've prepared drinks and snacks for you. Thank you for making the special trip."

Both Silverspeed and Ashi were somewhat flattered.

Having witnessed Li Zhi's influence and prestige firsthand, they felt even more favorably disposed towards her now that she was so approachable and treated like an old friend.

Li Zhi: "Or would you like to see the sales situation of the wool oil? Although it hasn't been a month yet, the sales of wool oil have been very stable. If everyone is willing, I plan to spin off the wool oil business, set up a company, and then list it on my stock exchange. However, this matter is not in a hurry and can be discussed in detail later. I would like to ask you about the North-South issue of the Hundred Beasts Market..."

Those who are greedy for life and those who take their seats have already left.

On the third-floor terrace, there were steaks, sausages, fried chicken, fruits, and drinks.

Li Zhi led them to their seats and naturally began the conversation.

"I've been doing some research at the Beast Market these past few days, trying to figure out what would be suitable to sell. But right after I finished investigating the south, I heard that a new hospital had opened in the north, run by a level 5 merchant. That wouldn't have been a big deal, but on my first day there, I saw the orcs from the north leaving with a merchant, and it looked like they had kidnapped someone..."

"The North District wouldn't arrest businessmen for no reason, would they?"

Li Zhi looked confused and wary.

Yashi immediately thought of her bounty and the orcs' previous attack on her.

Yin Su then thought of the southern merchant who had been sent over the previous night and had already been secretly dealt with.

Yashi: "Don't worry, I know about this too. That merchant was arrested for violating the rules of the North District. As long as you don't wander around, you won't get arrested. But I still want to remind you that it's best to do business in the South. Although the taxes are higher, it's safer. The North of the Beast Market is in a lot of chaos right now."

Li Zhi pressed further, "Why do you say that?"

Silverspeed: "There is indeed more conflict in the North. If you are pursuing a career path, it's best to play it safe. Doing business in the South is much better."

Li Zhi frowned and sighed, "To be honest, I don't want to do business in the Southern District. The taxes are just too high! My career path has very high requirements, and I probably won't be able to make any money in the Southern District. I can only try in other districts."

She lowered her voice: "I have another piece of information to ask you, which I heard from a merchant from the South District who came to the North District. He told me that the South District and the North District have long been dissatisfied with each other, and the two sides have planned to fight on the day of the tribute to the Feathered Spirit Clan, and take the opportunity to destroy the tribute to the Feathered Spirit Clan. Do you think this is likely?"
