Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Yaxi's expression changed drastically.

Silver Speed ​​also lowered his ears.

They asked at the same time, "Where did you get this information?"

Li Zhi's expression was cryptic: "We businessmen always have some secret information channels. The reason I'm contacting you today is not only to confirm which district I'm doing the mission in, but also to ask if this matter could be true."

Yashi vehemently denied it: "Absolutely impossible! The tribute we give to the Feathered Spirit Clan every year is of paramount importance! The strongest orc warriors from each race will go there, even risking their lives, to prevent the tribute from being stolen!"

Yin Su wanted to stop Ya Xi from speaking, but she didn't dare to make too big a move and risk Li Zhi noticing. Besides, Ya Xi had already blurted it out, so she could only try to cover it up:

"The Beast Alliance does have a tradition of paying tribute to the Feathered Spirit Clan, but the time varies each year. Apart from the three leaders of the Beast Alliance, no one knows the exact time and place. Your information is probably false."

The moment Yin Su pressed down on his ear, Li Zhi activated the "Mind Reading" imprint magic stone.

[Silver Speed: How did she know? Where did she get the information? Only the three alliance leaders knew about the Beast Alliance's tribute the day before the celebration, and only the Wolf Clan, Fox Clan, and the Northern District knew the specific route of our raid. Did someone leak the information? Or did that southern merchant actually leak the information before? Oh no, Ashi is about to speak! ...I can't stop her! No, I have to cover this up...]

Li Zhi took a sip of the energy drink from his thermos and looked at Ya Xi and Yin Su with slight surprise.

"The merchant didn't say how powerful the warriors guarding the tribute were, but he said the robbery would happen in the next few days. Many merchants who came from the South District to the North District heard this. I don't know if it's true or not. As a businessman with a career path quest, I just want things to go smoothly. I don't want any accidents to cause my quest to fail."

Yashi's eyes were round and bright: "I also heard you're doing a career path quest. What's your career path quest? Does having a strong heart unlock career path quests earlier and also allow you to learn skills earlier? Have you learned them yet?"

Yin Su also turned his head to look over.

Li Zhi held his thermos cup and smiled easily: "It did start ahead of schedule, but back when I was in the Wilderness Market, the eldest prince of the Feathered Spirit Clan had already sent Nightwing to stop my class quest, so I'm afraid I can't tell you two before the quest is completed. However, it is true that you can learn skills ahead of schedule, it's just that I haven't learned them yet."

Yaxi felt that Li Zhi was right, so she nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

The sitting posture has changed from the hunched-over, broad-shouldered sitting position to the relaxed, lounging posture of Ge You:

Yashi: "I thought that someone as strong as you could grasp the heart of a strong person or master a professional skill in no time. Seeing that you haven't mastered any skills after all this time, I feel much more at ease."

Li Zhi: "..."

Yin Su: "...She has been searching for an opportunity to comprehend the heart of a strong person for so many years, but she hasn't found it yet, and she's started to lose her mind."

Li Zhi: "Haha, I understand."

Yashi jumped to her feet, revealing two sharp fangs: "Who are you calling irrational?"

Silverspeed's tail was already swishing impatiently, but it still tried to soothe Ashi: "What I mean is to ask Lord Li Zhi to tell us more about the process of comprehending the heart of a strong person. Maybe we can all gain some inspiration."

Yaxi plopped down unhappily: "Bai Xue also wants to know, who doesn't want to comprehend the Heart of a Strongman when they reach Level 3? Why are you only talking about me? But speaking of which, I heard that coward Yuekong is coming back soon. She was the second orc in the entire Beast Alliance to study at the medical school, and also the first real professional doctor. I wonder if she's reached D3 yet."

When Yin Su heard the words "Moonlight", his expression softened considerably.

"She goes on training with her teacher every year, and I heard she'll be coming back this year."

Yaxi took a bite of steak and pouted, "Once she comes back, the fox clan won't be as low-key as they are now."

Li Zhi also took a bite of steak and asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Yaxi: "You think the Fox Clan is so low-key now because they are naturally low-key? It's because they did something wrong before and had to keep a low profile! If it weren't for the Fox Clan's good luck in coming to the Moon Realm, changing careers to become doctors, and successfully entering the medical school of Feather Spirit University, the Fox Clan would no longer be one of the Three Alliances."

Li Zhi looked at Yin Su.

Silverspeed looked unhappy, but did not refute Axi. He simply said, "Moonlight will become the first orc doctor in the Beast Alliance. Her existence has already filled the entire Beast Alliance with hope."

Yaxi scoffed, "What first doctor? That pig girl was the Beast Alliance's true first doctor. Didn't she also go to Feather Spirit University to study medicine? She just dropped out halfway through. Who knows if that coward Yuekong is up to the task? I heard that in medical school, all races need to be dissected. She didn't even dare to kill a wild fox of her own kind before, how could she dare to dissect her own kind?"

Li Zhi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "The Pig Clan?"

Yashi: "If you're in the North District, you can go check it out. I heard they opened a hospital there. It's not the hospital run by that new level 5 merchant; it's a small hospital."

Silverspeed said casually, "There is indeed such a person, but if you want to do missions in the North District, it's not a good time to go. The hospital opened by that level 5 merchant will form a safe trading zone. You need a ticket to enter, but the orcs are still observing and not many people are going in."

Li Zhi still looked worried: "Then I'll have to do business in the West or East District? I've heard that there are very few beastmen in the East and West Districts. The East District is rich in resources, but the terrain is complicated. The West District is barren, but there are occasional small territories. So it seems... the West District might be better."

Silverspeed: "Why is the West End better than the East End?"

Li Zhi analyzed seriously, "The complex terrain is the biggest danger factor, and the abundance of resources is irrelevant to an outsider like me. The desolation of the western district also indicates a lack of supplies, which is why I have room to maneuver there. What do you think?"

Silverspeed: "I think the East District is better. Most of the orcs in the West District are savage, and you'll be even less likely to complete the mission there."

This time, Yashi agreed with Yinsu: "I also think the East District is good, but the South District is better. Although the taxes are higher, it is safer. If you really don't want to go to the South District, you might as well go to the East District. The East District is inhabited by small orcs living in the mountains. They are less aggressive and you will be safer."

Li Zhi activated another imprint magic stone, his expression suggesting he was persuaded but also hesitant: "But I heard from the merchant who told me that the North and South districts would go to war that they plan to try going to the West district. They think it would be safer to travel together as a caravan."

Silverspeed: "They're going to the West End? When?"

[Silver Speed: The tribute to the Feathered Spirit Clan departs from the border between the Western and Northern Districts. The caravan that's robbing the tribute also travels from the Western District. If this caravan goes to the Western District, it's very likely to run into either of these two caravans. Whichever one they run into, it could disrupt my plans. No, I must find out the details and report this immediately!]

Li Zhi: "It seems to have happened in the last couple of days, which is why I came to ask you guys about the situation."

Yin Su breathed a sigh of relief: "I still suggest you don't go to the West District. If you really want to go, going with a caravan is a good option. And if you encounter any problems, you can come to me. Our wolf clan has a team stationed in the West District."

Li Zhi exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful!"

Silver Speed: "Do you have any other questions? If not, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Li Zhi: "No, no, thank you for your trouble, take care~"
