Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Perth's lips curled into a wide smile: "What's so surprising? You'll figure it out once you've been in the Apocalypse Continent for a while."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yi, who was promoting the opening benefits of the exchange, looked over in their direction.

Perth immediately stepped in front of Li Zhi.

However, Yi's gaze did not linger on her.

Perth jumped up instantly, activated his mech, and lifted himself from Li Zhi's thigh to his shoulder, pointing at Yi and shouting, "What are you looking at!"

Yi had actually noticed Perth long ago, but he was so surprised that Li Zhi dared to appear in front of her that he only stared at her.

Unexpectedly, this angered Perth.

She smiled and handed over two invitations: "I just wanted to invite the two of you to the opening ceremony of my exchange."

Li Zhi took it and saw that her name was written on it, so it must have been prepared in advance.

Perth accepted it, but didn't say anything. Instead, he stood with his arms crossed in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi: "My Lord, thank you very much for your invitation, but as you know, I still have career path quests to complete, so I may not be able to attend."

Yi gave a slightly surprised "Oh".

"I almost forgot, you unlocked your career path quest at level 4. Speaking of which, your initial quest was in the Wilderness Market, and your subsequent quests should also be in the Beast Alliance. The Beast Alliance is a subordinate race of the Feathered Spirit Clan. If you need any help, please let me know, and I will ask the Beast Alliance leader to give you some assistance."

Li Zhi's eyes widened: "Really? I do need help, but I haven't been able to contact the Beast Alliance Leader. Earl, if you could help me make the connection, that would be wonderful. My mission is a bit urgent. If possible, could you contact the three Alliance Leaders for me right now?"

Yi: "Now?"

Li Zhi: "Right now."

Yi: "Okay, I'll help you make the contact."

She moved her wrist, and a panel popped up. Li Zhi couldn't see what she wrote. Less than two seconds later, Yi had already closed the panel.

She said meaningfully, "I've contacted the Tiger Clan Alliance Leader. She's in the Beast Alliance and has time this afternoon. You can just go there directly."

Li Zhi: "Thank you so much."

After Yi had walked some distance, Perth asked, "Why did you ask Yi to contact the leader of the Beast Alliance for you? The Tiger Clan has always been the most loyal vassal of the Feathered Spirit Clan. If you go to the Beast Alliance, she will kidnap you in Yi's place and kill you while she's at it."

Li Zhi: "Don't worry, she won't kill me."

Perth: "How can you be so sure?"

Li Zhi: "I have my own way. Let's go, I still have some things to buy."

After buying everything they needed on Feather Spirit Avenue, Li Zhi and Perth left through the teleportation array. Meanwhile, the clone that had transformed into Ao disappeared into a secluded spot.

The "being discovered" scenario that Lee Ji had rehearsed did not occur.

Today's plans went relatively smoothly.

Ignoring Perth's hesitant expression, Li Zhi immediately changed into the appearance of a level 5 merchant after the "Never Forget the Danger" event, and returned to the Beast Market with a weapon that had no attribute points and hadn't cost him a penny.

"Register these weapons in the warehouse and put them on the shelves, and price them as previously agreed."

With a shortage of manpower, Li Zhi had no choice but to hand the matter over to Zhang Bai.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Yan Gui; it was just that Yan Gui was really not suited for business.

Fortunately, the beastmen at the hospital have already done most of the necessary checks, so Zhang Bai shouldn't have any problems staying here.

"Okay, boss."

Li Zhi returned to his office, found Yin Su and Ya Xi's chat window again, and sent a message.

Yashi replied instantly: [You're going to see my mother?!]

Li Zhi: [It's only a possibility.]

If we can't reach an agreement with the North District, then we'll have to meet with them.

Silver Speed ​​paused for a second: [You want to see my mother and father?]

Li Zhi: [I wonder if you could help me make an appointment.]

Silverspeed: [My mother isn't with the Beast Alliance, and my father is patrolling the grasslands; perhaps they won't have time to meet you.]

Li Zhi: [Please tell them it's about the Feathered Spirit Clan.]

Silverspeed: [Could you tell me what's wrong?]

Li Zhi: [I will let you know after we meet.]

Before long, Li Zhi received an invitation to meet Yin Su, not at the Beast Alliance, but somewhere in the North District near the West District.

Li Zhi took out the clone card.

[Clone Card: Consumes 3 Spirit Points; The clone can use all the abilities of the original body, can copy appearance, but cannot copy equipment attributes. It can last for 30 minutes within 3 kilometers. When the distance between the original body and the clone exceeds 3 kilometers, the more Spirit Points are consumed (can only be used once within 24 hours)]

The clone function is no longer usable.

But she must see the Wolf King and the Northern District Elder today.

The Northern District's plan was to abduct the tribute to the Feathered Spirit Clan the day after tomorrow. She went to persuade them to change their plans today, giving them a day as a buffer to increase the chances of success in the negotiations.

If they delay until tomorrow, they will have to carry out the plan the day after tomorrow. There is too much time and too many variables, and the possibility of them agreeing to cooperate with Li Zhi will be infinitely close to zero.

However, going to see them in person also means that if the talks break down, she could very well be arrested or silenced.

Whether it was because of her ambition, the bounty, or her knowledge of the Beast Alliance's plan to rob the Feathered Spirit Clan.

The Beast Alliance will not let her go.

Go it alone, follow small caravans whose purpose is unknown to take advantage of the chaos, let the Feathered Spirit Clan guards cause some trouble, grab some spoils and run away.

Alternatively, they could unite with the orcs of the Northern District to completely absorb the Feathered Spirit Clan's tribute team, thus exposing Yi and Ao's actions beyond redemption.

Li Zhi had chosen the latter from the very beginning.

Whether it's caravans or the Feathered Spirits, they're all just trying to gather information and, incidentally, stir things up even more.

If you're going to gamble, you should gamble big.

Even if it costs her her life.

Li Zhi inspected the equipment from top to bottom, inside and out.

He put the hairdryer he had just borrowed from Perth into a readily accessible storage compartment, stuffed a stack of protective shields into his pocket, and placed the forced binding card within easy reach before setting off.

The animal market is very large.

Instead of departing directly from the safe trading area, Li Zhi returned to the Unforgettable Danger zone, reverted to his original form, and teleported to the teleportation array in the northern part of the Beast Market before continuing his journey along the coordinates.

Along the way, she could sense that someone was following her.

But she pretended not to know, and finally arrived at her destination just before dark.
